Deserted Island Survival Skills | Success AND Failure

Ойын-сауық

We wanted to test some survival skills in a REAL location... so we got dropped off on a Deserted Island. We'll try starting fires without matches or a lighter, distilling sea water with simple hardware store items, catching our food in the sea and exploring our deserted island.

    Nobody reads or listens...they didn't get dropped off "Survivor Style" with absolutely nothing. They are just testing some survival skills with simple hardware store items, just to see what works. ITs camping with some fun experiments to pass time.

    Well understandably of course they brought what they needed to survive for a minute. That doesn't change the learning experience for the girls. If I was a part of the fam I would take everything mom and dad could teach me. Love your channel. Don't stop.

    2:46 the song is from Caro Luna "Acapulco" hoy pienso en que paso, y como me afecto, las horas que pase en aquel bus, No entiendo bien por qué, mi abuelo distraído, se bajó sin mi yo segui segui segui segui, Acapulco no era un lugar, Para una niña de mi edad, con solo cuatro años enfrente la soledad, del bus te vi pasar y la calle caminar y a pesar del miedo que me dio, no pude ni llorar llorar llorar, era la niña perdida, el chico me pregunto, no había entendido que esa niña era yo era yo era yo, Después de seis horas encontré donde bajar, cruce la calle, di con el lugar, se abrió la puerta y todo mi mundo me abrazo me abrazo me abrazo. translation: Today I think in what happened, and how it affected me, the hours that passed on the bus, I don't understand why my distracted grandfather, got off without me, I kept going i kept going i kept going. Acapulco is no place for a girl of my age, with only 4 years facing loneliness, from the bus i saw you pass, the street you walked, even tho I was so scared, i couldn't cry couldn't cry couldn't cry. Are you the girl who is lost, asked a boy, didn't understand that that girl was me was me was me. After 6 hours i found where to get off, I crossed the street, I found the place, the door opened and all my world hugged me hugged me hugged. (she found her house, her family hugged her.)

    You're on the right track with your distillation rig. You can drape cloth over that copper pipe and have them reach down into a bucket of water. Capillary action will draw water up and cool the pipe making the condenser work better. Or, you can get a coil of copper tube which you can sit into a small plastic container full of water. In the old moonshine days they would call this a worm. Lot of Home Brewer types use pressure cookers to avoid loss

    A perfect fire starting tool that is light weight and will last forever and work with fire starting no matter what you use as your ignition source: Stainless Steel Straw. Never use aluminum pots on an open flame, it will start to melt. And the acids that come from the wood fire collect on the aluminum and start eating into the metal and also will eventually catch fire and speed up the melting process. Stainless Steel pots the best. Even a cheap small stainless pressure cooker would be even more ideal.

    What a fun adventure! Not sure why people always fillet fish. It's such a waste of meat. You get a ton more meat if you just empty out all the guts and cook the entire fish on a hot flat rock until the skin is crisp. Of course you have to be careful to pull out all the bones, but most will come out if you carefully pull the spine out and you'll end up eating ALL the meat as well as the very nutritious and tasty skin (fat, etc). There's also quite a bit of meat/edible parts in the head. Just sayin... 😉 Now I'm watching your distillation set up and wondering whether you're going to melt the lid of your water bottle...maybe consider resting that copper pipe on a stack of rocks slightly above the rim of your plastic water bottle? Nope! SO wonderful to see so many fish and sea creatures in the water there...beautiful!

    You’re right, cooking the whole fish is the best way to get all the meat, but filleting is our favourite way. Very little meat wasted and much less work to pull out all the bones while you’re eating it. We definitely have cooked up the head in bigger fish to get the meat there also. Thanks for the message.

    Aluminium gets crusty in hight temps, the more expencive the better quality. you can trow a empty can of beer on the fire and it pulverice to ashes. to make it efficient you need light steel with a copper bottom layer. the copper leads the heat faster and you need less energy to whatever you are boiling or cooking

    Next winter you can take a long piece of copper tubing (the longer the better) fill it with water, and keep it outside the cabin to freeze overnight. Then while the water is still frozen inside the tube you can coil the tubing around a bucket (or whatever you have handy) and the frozen ice inside the copper tubing will keep the tubing from kinking up, collapsing, and breaking at the edges of the kink. Then allow the ice to thaw out and you have a perfectly coiled copper tube. The coil will make the distillation process more effective. I also suggest that you never cook with aluminum. The heat causes the aluminum to react and in turn the aluminum leaches into the food and/or the water. Aluminum has been studied and proven to be a major contributing factor in causing Alzheimer's disease and dementia later on in life. You especially don't want to wrap food in aluminum foil and throw it on a fire to cook. Something I'm sure we have all done at one time or another in our past. While I'm on the subject... It's also a good idea to stay away from deodorants that have aluminum in the ingredients. The deodorant company's claim they use aluminum to prevent wetness. Anyway... with that being said. I also suggest that you all have a great vacation. If this summer vacation in Mexico is anything at all like last summers vacation in Mexico I'm sure your loyal subscriber base is going to have a great time watching (and learning from) the video's that you post for our educational entertainment. Take care. sincerely, Dean O. :-I

    I think your aluminum pot failed because you combined two different metals and exposed them to seawater and accelerated the reaction with heat. Without the combined different metals, failure would not have occurred. I’m trying to remember how I learned this and coming up blank. I do remember that, like you, I learned it the hard way (likely jury rigging outdoor gear). I don’t know jack about chemistry or physics. However, I do know (or at least think) that you inadvertently built a battery.

    Have to say your pot must have had a hole in it to start with because if it had water in it the whole time over the heat there is no way it could burn a hole in pot because you can use a plastic bottle over fire and not melt it as long as there is water in it.
