Strick is back for a new Survival Challenge Series! He's re-visiting different survival stories while travelling up the remote stretches of the Great Barrier Reef. There's tales of heroic survival against all odds, and some tragic endings... Join him in the exact location of these scenarios to test his own survival skills and share their crazy stories.
In this Episode Strick is revisiting one of the craziest stories of survival against all odds... In 1858 A young French cabin boy was deserted on a remote beach in Australia and left for dead... 17 years later he sails back into France with the newspapers reporting him 'The White Savage'. But what happened during those 17 years is crazy! This is the story of Narcisse 'Pierre' Pelletier.
In order to survive on these desert islands they will need to catch Giant Mudcrabs barehanded, use bushcraft skills like making a handpear to catch fish and stingrays, making a friction fire and utilising the environment for shelter. Hope you enjoy coming along on this Survival Challenge!

Hey Strick, you have shared bits and pieces of your life. Have you ever thought of putting together videos of an autobiography? You are so attached to the earth and your skills and knowledge are amazing. Life is grand.

@Leosarebetter 8 месяцев назад

I dont know what the big secret is - the place where Pelletier was left is Cape Direction at a point known as "First Bed Rock Point" near Lockhart North Queensland. A little more info: After 17 years with the tribe, Pelletier was rediscovered by the crew of pearling schooner the John Bull. He was brought aboard the ship and the crew claimed later that the tribe were holding him for ransom in exchange for trade. However, Pelletier maintained that this was not the case, and that he had greatly wished to return to his tribe but was afraid of the guns aboard the pearling ship. After his rescue-turned-kidnapping, Narcisse Pelletier was quickly returned to France. Pelletier eventually married and became a lighthouse keeper, choosing to live in isolation. Dix-sept ans chez les sauvages, the only contemporary book published about his experience, includes some of the earliest sheet music to record Aboriginal songs, with the lyrics written phonetically in-language. The book also includes several copies of the letters he wrote home to his family during the return voyage to France in 1875.

John Otley reintroduced him to his native French on his journey from Summerset to Sydney after being kidnapped by the crew of the John Bell at Night Island. He was abandoned at a site called Waanthala AKA Dinner Creek south of Cape Direction. The TOs of this area have never been dispossessed and continue to farm their land and sea. A bit of poetic license being taken here but good luck to them.

@tribalismblindsthembutnoty124 7 месяцев назад

@@ghostladydarkling3250 i agree with your second point, but the man did say the native women found him half dead. He did not state that the kid survived at all alone. He said the opposite about both his survival of the shipwreck and the women finding him after the crew dumped him on the shore.

@KenLieck 5 месяцев назад

As far as his "rescue" goes, at least the tribe he stayed with didn't end up getting wiped out as their "reward" for taking him in, which is what I was expecting to discover after being warned that there was a sad ending to the story.

@jeffmorton9220 8 месяцев назад

This video was terrific! It was longer than usual, but I didn't notice one bit. Watching you take us through history on a recreation of sorts of a real survival story that happened several hundred years ago, was fascinating. Seeing you eating off the land had me thinking, "I could do that"! I really enjoyed this video! Thanks!

@ericdemeo5249 27 дней назад

To straighten curved wood you want to steam it, soak it in the ocean for hours then put close to fire intermittent to bend into shape. Steam helps bend and heat holds position. Your stick was dry and putting it in fire only started to harden the outer layers when bent snap!

I'm 52 years old I learned this is a little boy turn the light of fire under 10 years old with this technique🎉 you got to use the bow technique bow and drill and build up the tender around the bottom of the drill making a pyramid or as dense as you can make it. With a few spins that'll get hot enough to burn your hand. Gentle puffs of air from your mouth onto the tender pile will light it up like magic. PS the most important part is to pile up the tender around the bottom of the drill so you don't lose the ember heats the Tinder. If you're doing it right Works in under 10 minutes sometimes as little as a couple🎉 try it just for the fun of it🎉

7:21 when you took your knife and popped open the shell, I wonder how long the clam survived for. It probably had an agonizing death, you know with its spinal cord practically being ripped out of its back and all.

@mikew3194 4 месяца назад

Fun to watch, and think what I'd do differently. All the glass bottles around for water... leaves... evaporate some sea water for salt on the yams and ray. And most importantly, find a tidal pool to rest the clams in so they spit out the excess sand.

@SpaceduckDK 8 месяцев назад

Love the channel. Next time try adding water to your branch so that you steam the branch, maybe make scratches where you want to bend so that the water gets in more easily, this makes it easier to bend. Or use a fresh / green branch, as moisture is needed to bend it.

@martineastburn3679 7 месяцев назад

Shells like those your are eating at the fire live under the sand/mud. They send up a syphon and breathe that way. If you bother, they withdraw into the hole. So 6-12" below is the hard shell. Depending on the size of the shell. Used to live Mid Pacific on a tiny island.

very cool video, good on ya....Purslane is a weed which grows in almost any environment that gets rain on a regular basis...it is chockful of vitamins, antioxidents: mag, iron, calcium, Vit A & C and more. I'm seeing a lot of it in various cuts on your video. A great view of it is @15:39 it's that succulent plant which has a reddish stalk and fat green leaves (like a jade plant). Would be great to add some plant foods to our diet in ways in addition to your AG1. Additionally it can be used on your wounds as a topic treatment. You can also use purslane as a topical remedy for irritated skin and help wounds heal faster.... not calorie dense but makes up a good part of the additional body needs.

The “clams” that were found at the first 4mins are called “mud mussels” if they’re not on the surface they are buried in the mud and they will leave their “beak” showing out the surface as if to breathe.

I've been lucky enough to be invited to a cook up by friends in my footy team about 25 years ago, forgive the spelling, they were Narratjirra people and were allowed to hunt turtlesand dugong.... I can understand why dugong was their favourite food, it is like beef and butter combined. Turtle was good but no where close to how delicious dugong was. Turtle blood and their liver etc is a dark green colour, what looks like slime when cooked with longbums tastes really good too.
