Alone on a Deserted Tropical Island with NO FOOD or WATER | Survival Challenge | Catch and Cook 

During a 2 year working stint on an island I found that after you drink the liquid from the green coconut you should fill it with rainwater and bury it in the wet sand to keep the water cool! Worked brilliantly for me. All of the fish guts and bones can be used either for bait or chum - a small fish left in the sun for a few days is brilliant chum to lure bigger fish! If you desalinate seawater (plastic bottles & the sun) then the leftover brine can be dried in the sun and used as salt. Also - plastic bottles and containers can be filled with sand to be used in walls of a dwelling.

When you see how much resources it takes to support a person at this level, you can see why pre agriculture, people even within large territories, had to be on the move constantly.

2 hours of rain is a blessing .I would have collected as much rainwater as possible.

I can't believe that this Survival Guru isn't harvesting the rain that is coming down on his kayak. If it were me, I would trade getting drenched for getting water from the rain. That Kayak is a priceless container for everything.

Awesome video again mate. My five year old loves to sit and watch your vids with me, so you may well be inspiring the next generation of bushcrafters/survivalists!

From Iraq love you so much my friend, I have many British friends who come to visit Iraq every year, and I speak English fluently with a British accent. I Love British people ❤️

Those young coconuts that have sprouted are the absolute best to eat, easy to open and the meat just comes away in a ball sweet and delicious, take a native with you next time.🤔

Me: When I was 11 in 1983 :P My friends and I " seven of us " took a couple of blow-up rafts to an island off the coast of Florida. We Camped for a week on the island. All we brought with us was an eight-person tent, sleeping bags, fishing poles, and a small folding sterno stove with two fuel cans. Food and drink, we had two 5 gallons of water, some hot dogs and beans for the first night, eggs and grits for the first morning. We caught our food for the rest of the time, Fish and crabs were easy to catch but we did find a couple of squirrels and possums on the island. water was easy for us to get, with it raining every afternoon for 2 to 4 hours. The island was just shy over of 1/4 of a mile wide. My uncle stopped by on his fishing boat on the third day to check on us. scared the hell out of us at 6am :P

What about all of the water you could have caught off the kayak when it rained. A lot of empty water bottles. Love your videos

It’s not a deserted island, it’s an uninhabited island :) Thanks for the vids and Gday from Tasmania Australia

That first fish you caught is a grouper. Very nice to eat

I'm into the first 10 minutes so far, and a critical question arises: I've heard no mention of possible medical emergencies, conducted on-the-fly, as needed. I'm talking, bacteria(s), blood-born Hepatitist from even the smallest open wound interacting with waters, sand, 'found' foods, building supplies, weather, animals, etc. I ask this because there was an outdoorsman I used to read about - John Huerte? - in his Chicago Tribune column recalling many of his outdoor adventures. He was highly experienced, and was able to navigate various problems encountered during his hunting/fishing expeditions. However, as he crossed a simple creek on one occasion, polluted creek water entered a small open wound on his leg. Hepatitis was contracted, and he wrote about all of this . . . he eventually died of liver failure and the poisons, therein, circulating everywhere via his blood. I hate to sound 'collateral', but, he was fond of 'making-do' in various emergencies. He even told of actually eating crow . . . of his own making. Any comments? I think you have a responsibility to always inform your subscribers of the many unforeseen dangers - and solutions during even regional adventures relatively close to home. BUT, I tune into your channel often. Your creative ideas are damn good; as are your video shooting and editing skills. Your chefing skills are mouth-watering, as well. Good job, well informed; except for the problem of influencing neophytes who venture into various zones without being prepared. 'Course, you'll find inexperienced people doing all kinds of crazy ****.

Me... but I have to have a hammock. Thanks for the wine down, Great to see that handsome face again. Loved it! I don't think you should go out to those other islands, they look like they are just rock.

Your content is always worth waiting for Dustin. I am absolutely loving these survival challenges you are doing as of late. Keep that sweet content coming!

A recommendation, secure water first, you can go a few weeks without food. Without water 3 days if you're lucky.

Thr coconut tht is sprouting is good to eat. Inside grows a pulp tht is spongey n very delicious

Commenting: 1, 2 AND 3 I'm loving these challenges!

Amazing video! Can’t believe you took the time out of your life to make this video for, what amounts to, our pleasure. I really enjoyed it. I hope I never have to do something like this. So sad about all the garbage washed up on shore but I’m not a tree hugger so I see the value in it as a resource. This was a great video and was probably fun for you to make. Great survival ideas. I didn’t know so much about coconuts as you explained but I can guarantee you that every Friday night spent on this desert island I would be looking for the fermented coconuts to get plastered on the beach and watch the sun go down just to forget about where I was for awhile and to contemplate the decisions that I made in Life that got me to this God Forsaken Island to begin with. Hopefully I would bump into Tom Hanks and together we would live “happily ever after”🤣🤣🤣(as in getting off this Fuc*ing Island!)🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great vid bud. Loving the survival style video. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Saying hello from South Carolina 🇺🇸

You are a legend buddy. It takes some balls to do what you are doing. Keep up the good work.

Mate we need you to do a week or however long you can stay,but take like a handful of items to help. Sort a survival/ camping expedition. Great content thanks

I always wanted to go on an island by myself to see how long I could survive It would be so cool been watching your videos lately there really amazing to watch I learn so many new things from watching your videos keep it up man.

26:57 I love this type of scenery. Then you drinking the coconut, this was so visually appealing and relaxing to watch, you are the man 💯

Would it have been a wise idea to turn the kayak the opposite way to collect some rain water? Shelter under some palm trees instead.

Hellooo from Australia..love your videos! See if you can find a sprouted coconut, one of the most amazingly delicious things you can eat.its solidified coconut milk.its like the one you found in tree in the previous videos that is basically a germinating coconut. You can sometimes find them at the base of coconut trees buried shallow in or on the ground with a small green stem or leaf sprouting. 😊

Awesome as always. Would happily spend a night or 2 there. 🤠

I think you should camp on Island #3. Wish I was there camping with you! Looks like fun!

Great filming, great narration, and great positive attitude

Wonderful adventure Dustin. Thank for taking me along.

Island 3 looked pretty good. Ever thought about doing a two week stay on a island? Even if you re visited the 100 hour one were you built yourself a nice little raised bed, imagine what kind of camp you could build on a two week stay.

I love this kind of videos👍 perhaps you chould do something like this back in England? With minimal or no gear at all. Maybe teach us something about collecting natural food like berries or muchrooms? Anyway keep it up!

A favorite dish for many folks where I retired in the Republic of the Philippine Islands is Bicol Express. Normally made with pork but Beautiful Bride uses chicken for me to keep fat at a minimum. The meat is cooked in coconut milk and a few hot peppers to add some kick. Several times, friends in the neighboring town have invited me to eat "exotic food" as they call it. One time we had a large lizard, cooked in coconut milk with hot peppers. Another time, we had a python, cooked the same way. You, sir, created a gourmet meal on the beach with what you foraged. I already know that our young troops will be enjoying your content. I'm hooked, we will whack that subscribe button next.

Love these. Island 3 please.

Another great survival challenge 🔥

Awesome, great to see another island adventure. Pity I missed the alert. Let's try number 3 for your next overnighter. Those drinking (the young green ones) coconuts are so good. 👍❤

I love these videos! I'm so glad I stumbled across your page, you're definitely one of my favourite RU-vidrs :)

Just looking at your video I just wanted to say! MATE YOU CAN EAT ALL THAT! Specially the brown dry coconuts you can eat them with the new shoots coming out of them... just try and crack one open you gonna love it. I'm from the COOK ISLANDS.. We called coconuts tree.. TREE OF LIFE.. All the best mate! God bless you

Well done friend. So innovative and educational as well. Really miss poor Amber 😢But hope she’s safe and well at home. What an exciting time to share with us 😊. Fan from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Cutting through a Coco-Nut like that! Lil-crab-fish-ta-bait-&-Cookin in the C-nut! Very Well done Vid, but I do like your longer version, but if your going to bring along anything, bring some Repellent Cream, won't take much space/no sence in being ate alive yaself! & bring the Coco nut home with you 4 the Fam, tastes good dried too, (Shaved), ya hotta but it from the store, pre-shred! Another Great Survival Vid. GBU.,SM.,NZ., ✌❤😁🙏👍🐟😎

Another awesome adventure Dustin, chuffed you caught a fish. Shame about the amount of plastics out there. Cheers bud, see you at the weekend.

I love this guy he’s like Hogwarts and Australia mixed

When you burp when you're drinking means you're fully hydrated. Learn that on Dual Survival.

Surviving with fishing equipment and a boat ahah, that's like me if I went to survive in the forest with night vision and a sniper in a camouflage suit. lol bro just knife .

loved the video :) and ye, tropical storms hits hard XD ive been in thiland and rented a bike and from the middle of nowhere there were a HUGE storm with massive rain lol. its crazy out there

Very fun experience Tnx for sharing 👍

ขวดน้ำทิพย์ ขวดซันไลท์ หอยจุ๊บน้ำจืด 😂

Me. I would love to spend some time on a deserted island. I would want to spend several days if I could. Also, I choose island #2 for the next time you do a deserted island video. Love your videos. Can't wait until the next one.

You made a pronged fishing spear, in Australia they use old nails, screws, wire or rebar hammered in to the ends. That fishing trap could have had something you could use. Or just sharpen the bamboo. Makes great shallow water spear fishing stick. Perfect example on how to splay the prongs as well, good job.

Nice video I always lov watching fishing and survival my nu#1 watch video and i comment last time fishing rod and there it is nice.👍👍👍👍.

Well done Dustin. More of this kind of video.

Lovely vid. Got me thinking if I can do a coconut roast at home. As to which island .. ALL THE ISLANDS

Thanks for yet another awesome video Dustin. 😁👍

I love these survival videos, greetings from Netherlands.

Always some food I admire at you love you video God bless you always

Ah Yes ! There's more than one way to crack a coconut or milk it without removing the husk. Very well done chap !

"Oh look, a monitor lizard!" Nope - I'm out.

Great video mate, absolutely fascinating, its definitely brought out my sense of adventure 👍 so I say me👍

Helloo from Philippines here i love your survival videos you inspired me again and again ❤ Be safe always, god bless you i hope more survival videos come , can i ask do a Philippines flag and Bring to the island while you survive thnk you ❤❤

You have done it again! It seems you spent a good deal of time living rough on these islands.

Bro wish the video was longer 😂because I didn’t realize when it ended I enjoy it Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Another amazing episode keep up the good work 👍

I would call that a vacation, not a survival challenge, with a boat and a fishing rod .😊

Well done mate on the rest,positive comments good job

I feel like when we wait a tiny bit longer for some of these videos, they end up being next level phenomenal, thanks so much and keep rocking it brother!

trust me, sprouted coconut is better breakfast than normal coconut

36hrs no food no drink is nothing more than a REAL good nap!

awesome job!!! loved the video!!!!!!

Love the survival videos. Very well done. Just a tip for opening coconuts: pound a sharpened post into the ground and impale the coconut onto the sharpened post or stake, then pry the husk away from the coconut. You'll need to repeat the process a few times, but it takes much less energy with this method.

I like the way you use kaiak to catching a good fish, and use it to protect agaist the rain, the idea of going with a kaiak to a island it's very interesting and usefull!! And it's great the way you surviving fishing and catch coconuts!! I just don't understand how you use the stick with meat to catch the big crab or even if you catch him, in the dark of the night, but it's a great video I will subscribe to watch more!! Thank you, hugs from Brazil and we see ya!! :))

I like when I learn something from these documentaries I've been watching them for 30 plus years. I like the way you used to stick in your knife to open the Coconuts. I've seen it only explain on a few documentaries that you can really fatally hurt yourself trying to open a coconut and lots of stories of survival have ended in tragedy because of trying to open a coconut cutting themselves the wound getting infected then them perishing😢. PS just wondering why you didn't have your waterproof bag open to catch a rain all night long. I've also seen it where they used partially sunken boats rafts or canoes to catch water during the night. That's my two cents. Thanks for the info I really enjoyed it have a great day.

It is very sad to see so much rubbish in that paradise. Good video

I really like watching these videos.

Just subscribed and love the content. Keep it up.

When you saw rain coming, my first thought was use the boat to collect rain water! I figured I was not the only one who thought that and sure enough, many others commented basically the same thing. Why didn't you just put your shirt in your dry bag, leave the boat upright to collect rain water, and hunker down under some trees or collect a few palm fronds to keep somewhat covered?

sometimes you can take those lighters apart clean up the little piece of flint and get them to work.... I found one on a camping trip where we got it to work...

I have done paddle / solo island camp / catch / cook. Fun times. Great Video, beautiful drone work and dialog. In addition to what you carried; I take my knife, short fins, snorkel, a spear gun handle [Mod]- (band, line/5" barb tip), several HD Trash Bags and #36 bank line (many uses) Why didn't you have room for a few rolled up Contractor bags or small 10x10ft tarp for Day 0 water collection? All good .. Stay Safe mate

Sprouted coconut is a delicacy! So expensive to buy where I live.

No lights, No music, Just anger!

32:18 I watched that, it was actually quite clever. I've seen folks use old washed up GLASS bottles to actively boil and distill, but the universality, sadly, of plastic bottles on beaches makes your application a bit more useful IMO.

Island 2 love your videos reminds me where I grew up!

Love your content stay safe. Definitely try 2 it looks small.

Awesome video! Island 3!

Me Or a desert inland island oasis Great fun thanks again and as always.

Overnighters on 1,2 and 3, in three different nights in a row, call it the island hopper show.

Island one. Great video.

Your amazing, there is videos about how to spark washed up lighters! I think it would be great if you had 10 items to use on an island

I want to live on this Island forever. 🎉❤

hello kawan saya dari INDONESIA🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨 saya suka bertemu saluran kamu, pertualangan yang hebat sangat luar biasa...👍

I would like to see an episode of you preparing for survival from an approaching cyclone , using only what the island provides.
