Epic Castaway Tales 

"What's that you're carrying?" "It's an oar" "An or ? What's an or for ?" "An oar. From a boat... you see, I was at sea... " "Forget it I'm going back closer to the coast."

I HAVE heard of him.

Sounds like it would make for a really cool movie

Wow. Someone should make a movie about that!

@@ArchieStiglitz . No. you better make a movie based on a Disney attraction.

That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.

She shoulda fed Knight to the bears, then, kill and eat the bears. That ain't cannibalism, right? The second time he threw a plate, I'd tell him 'eat snow'.

@@MadNotAngry and I’m gonna go see a doctor on my phone with you I have no idea what you are talking with pt the bridge pop w

Oh my god - now I can’t unsee it

A three hour tour...

... please... a BB episode!

You’re epic!

this takes all the fun out of watching...... jk

Selkirk.

Serious question why do you guys need this? Can’t you just watch the video? Asking for a friend 😬

Yes, but they profile Selkirk, and say nothing about Selkrik! Editor for hire.

The movie is based on a rather famous book by Scott O'Dell. A great read, even for adults.

Agreed

So it's true what they say - 'Weed and no money will get you by better than money and no weed'. It's all about survival, m'man

So if you didnt have 250 dollars the kid would have left you there? What a stand up guy

@@Iamtheliquor wait till you see the bill from a professional or public rescue team, $250 was a steal

I love how u said, well, I had whisky and edibles, so, fudge it! I was ok! Good story bro 😎, I’m so intrigued!

Seems like he boshed on Hase too much

@@hkchan1339 guess the semen came from seamen, so same same

where can i learn more about this?

Wow! What a coincidence! It was 6 boys, and they were from Tonga, but I read about that just today, April 22, in the New York Times, in the obituary of Peter Warner, the Australian captain who happened upon them and rescued them after 15 months. An amazing story indeed, and I'm surprised I never heard it before--I guess the story was better known in Australia. It must be the same story, despite some details being a little different from your version, but the main point was the same as yours, how it differed from "Lord of the Flies," with which it was compared.The boys organized and cooperated and managed to thrive until their rescue. They'd been long since given up for dead and it was a national sensation in Tonga when they were recovered. Ironically, the owner of the boat they stole was not amused, and had them arrested. Their rescuer compensated him and they were released, and they worked on Warner's boat as crew for years afterwards.

@@jamesclendon4811 yes! That’s the one and you’re right it was six young men not four. And they were rescued by an Aussie yachtie after one of them swam out to his boat as it was moored off the island. I only found out about it myself a few months ago and it’s an amazing story. You can find some interviews with the survivors and also see a Ted talk on it by Rutger Bregman on RU-vid. There’s also an old media story from the ABC (i think it’s 4 corners) out there that’s worth a look... I think it would make a fantastic movie...

@@planetdisco4821 Following the links from the Times obit of Peter Warner, which I couldn't link to here for some reason, I read that movie rights were sold last year, by Warner, the four surviving castaways, and Rutger Bregman, so a movie may eventually be made. Bregman (I've never heard of him), a historian, apparently published an article in the Guardian last May which was very popular and revived interest in the story, leading to the movie sale. Reading the Guardian article about the movie sale, though, I get the feeling that political correctness will keep the movie from ever being made. Certain people are voicing concern that any potential movie be made by Pacific Islanders and reflect and respect Tongan values and culture etc. etc. In other words, they don't want a Hollywood movie. Unfortunately for them, Hollywood has the money to make such a movie, so we'll see.

@@jamesclendon4811 well, Life of Pi and Slimdog Millionaire managed to get made, so just maybe this one will as well. Different cultures obviously, but there's hope at least. Either way, if any country made it I'd definitely watch that movie. Sounds like an amazing story and I'm gonna go read up on it. Thanks you two for bringing it up!

I love the end of that one episode of 'Archer' where they find the old Japanese soldier. JS: _"It's been decades. I don't even know how I would start to look for my family."_ Archer: _"Hold on."_ **pulls out sat phone** _"Yes. Mrs. Yamamoto?"_ **hands phone to the soldier** _"Here you go."_

Still thinking that he's been duplicated repeatedly as an secret UK experiment involving starfish DNA...

He's got one of those time stopper thingies from Harry Potter.

@@lauriepenner350 ooomg did you ever see an old British kids show called Bernard's Watch?? I think Simon IS Bernard!! 🤔🤔😂

@@lauriepenner350 And he seems to not be as aged as a time travel artifact would not prevent. Sticking to my theory. 😁

@@paulherman5822 This really made me laugh... Then consider Simons obsession with immortality and the ramifications of what you just said become far more ominous. 🤔😬😂

Fun fact: grave plots are resold. They're not permanent. 👁👁

probably early inset dementia, and since he was an asshole all his life, no one noticed.

😂😂😂I was going through the comments looking for this exactly.

@@treyn8070 Same here. It's like a reflex. Someone says castaway, someone else yells WILSOOON!

makes great fish bait.

I have. Terrible! But personally it was a rotted whale that has, so far, been the worst death-stench I have experienced.
