imagine being on an island needing to survive and the camera man is just standing there drinking from one of his bottles of water and eating a chicken sandwich

[ColdFuse]

YES!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE DOES

I did this in middle school as part of a science fair (boiling salt water and condensing it with a tube), and everyone criticized it because there was still a bit of salt in the water so it still wasn’t drinkable (LIES!!!!), and I said you needed to boil it 2 or 3 times to completely eliminate the salt, but they said that it was going to have salt no matter what because the tube collected salt and re-salted the water vapor, and I ended up loosing to some asshole with a stupid rainbow *PLANT!!!!*

(Sorry for the outburst. Watching someone prove an idea that everyone laughed at years ago resurfaced some repressed emotions)

Good to see all of the YouTube expert survivalists are here in the comments to teach them what they are doing wrong.

This is one of the best shows i have watched in a very long time, honestly...this is so good, and in fact, one of the only shows worth watching on tv.

[Legaceybeats]

[tanayayt]

so should we throw more garbage into oceans to help unfortunate stranded people ?

[MrAhmes]

Man: let's build easy raft to get of this island quick

Woman: Pirate Ship

[Dazerazerr]

“I need to up the pace now.” Five minutes later....
“I need to up the pace now.”

Ed : Let’s build a raft and get to the objective
Woman : I shall build a raft with a mast on it to contribute to the tribes that built it last time .

[jazlync.]

Me: cool I wanna do that

Also me: struggling to fold bed

[Temms]

I saw this episode a long time ago and I never forgot how he managed to make drinkeable water from seawater

[HappyDaClown]

I'm conviced Ed Strafford is actually Will Forte playing a European survival expert.

[jeremywinston]

Well if I'm ever stranded on a remote island now I know how to make drinking water from seawater. Just hope I can find material to mimic the process. I don't recommend boiling water in a rusty can but if that's all u got.

[PoeticSonic]

Anybody is going to comment on the fact that she isn't getting dehydrated?

[azeyap]

1:11 I just thought this is something else

[rottweilerfun]

I learned how to make that kind of water desalinator in the Army. There are actually a few different ways to do it. This is the best in my opinion though.

No beers makes a desert Island just another prison. Beers are the cornerstone to happiness
