How to ACTUALLY Survive on a Desert Island

[strychten]

Honestly my favorite part was the guy's PP at the beginning

[Chedarrr]

I love how this looks like an analog horror series but it’s actually just a super chill guy giving good advice

[aperson]

Thanks this is very useful, I currently am stuck on a desert island and this video has saved me many times

[asahi]

I can’t wait to be stuck on an island, use this advice to stay alive for years, completely lose sanity, and when I’m rescued years later and am asked how I survived I’ll just scream “HORSES”

I was marooned on a desert island last week and after setting up a signal fire I was able to get broadband. After that I made a simple computer from coconut shells and sea anemones powered by jellyfish. I came across this video on you tube, it gave me so many ideas on how to survive I could have lived quite comfortably for who knows how many weeks. I was actually in the process of installing solar panels made from very thin sheets of volcanic glass and palm leaves when a passing ship noticed the 10 metre seawalls I'd been building around the island as part of a futureproofing initiative for the rising sea levels. They came ashore and found me, thank god.

As someone that never goes on overseas transport, and barely leaves my house, I found this guide very informative and helpful.

How to survive in a deserted island:
1:Have fun and be yourself❤

Seriously, I've tried to explain the importance in survival situations of vitamins and minerals etc. I read once where a man survived 90 days at sea. He had cans of water. But he started craving various organs and parts of the fish he'd catch such as eyes and liver. Somehow his mind told his body what to eat. He survived. Listen to your body.

2 things:
once I eat only rice for 45+ days. I got sick... looked sick and started to develop infections from nowhere.
once I eat a unknown tree nut, very tasty. 30 minutes later my sense of smell was boosted to 300%. 15 minutes more I was vomiting like a rocket engine. A couple more moments later I was also shitting myself. No toilet paper, just leaves with allergic compounds. Very nice experience.

In Denmark, there is a show called Øen(The Island) where 14 people go to an island in Panama and have to survive for 30 days. A lot of these tips are demonstrated in the show. It's worth watching if you cancfind it with english subtitles.

Btw, crab lungs arent toxic. They just taste really bad.
Great vid.

I like the demeanor of this guy. "Do not skip plants in your diet. You will die."

[HoboGardenerBen]

I like how Don't Starve includes sanity as one of the primary traits you have to maintain, like hunger and temp control, that's just good sense. A lot of good advice in your video, nice work.

23:07 My favorite type of media is when the audio is saying “DO NOT TOUCH THIS IT’LL KILL YOU” while a picture is shown of someone doing exactly that

[bookofroger]

Really digging the 80s instructional video format!

[stephanieparker]

I love the work training style of this video. I feel ready to begin my career as a “lost on a tropical island” employee.

[Deadinaditchofficial]

I’m not sure why I’m watching this as if my survival depended on it…. But you made a video as convincing as can be….. well done. Hard work paid off

[BeerMe]

Man, I had this video on with some white noise on and slept like a baby.
Not that it's boring content, but it's so chill and you speak very smoothly. Now I'm actually watching the video. It's very good!

This video is so soothing to me. It makes me feel that even if I was stranded on a desert island, everything will be fine.
