72 HOUR SURVIVAL (no food, no water, on an island)

As always, thank you Athletic Greens for sponsoring this video 💚

Episode 824 | Panama | Filmed April 2022

Who are Kara and Nate?!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

The craziest thing about this whole adventure to me was the amount of plastic that wasn’t left on the island, but washed up on it… I know how much plastic is out there in the ocean, but it is surreal to see it on an uninhabited island.

Great job you guys!! It was so fun to watch and very inspiring!

[darklilly]

I love how Dusty and Sarah are always willing to come on the tough outdoor adventures with you guys! Border waters in a canoe...np....ride a bike across Iowa in 95 degree heat...np! What awesome siblings 👏

[CountingCountries]

Surviving this is hard enough. Taking the time to set up the camera, film, and tell a story is a level of difficulty that few will understand. Incredible guys.

[ARandomPersonOnHere]

My toxic trait is thinking i could do this even after hearing all the challenges. You guys are crazy strong and positive for the whole challenge

[ratzo]

Sarah's face at the end sums it up best!! I would rather do Kara's bucket list item...72 hours in an airport lounge with coffee and fresh cookies

[jenna-travels]

I have a question, were the crabs that appeared at night edible? I feel like potentially there was a ready made feast right on your door step every night!

[janemacalindong]

ya'll can i just say that i love the fact that this vid is literally 47 mins? not to mention their editing skills, so good! you guys should upload more often videos that are this long :))

[jasminehayes]

Kara bringing coffee as her 1 item is hilarious 😂

[scottchilders]

That look that Sarah gives when she fist bumps at the end of the vlog is PRICELESS!! She’s awesome and I love how “real” she is on these videos she’s in!! Awesome!!!

[Legendarylea]

I love Kara. She always has the best attitude!

[kiathalovelygoddess]

Y’all owe Dusty and Sara a luxurious vacay! You guys do a lot of things I want to try but this is extreme

[katrinashute]

Y’all literally had dinner crawl up to you😂😂😂😂

[desertislandsurvival]

We love getting to see what happens in the final 3 day survival phase!
Genuinely impressed with your levels of endurance, You guys were legitimately hardcore.
See you in Tonga! 🙌🏝

[KaraandNate]

What’d you think guys? 🥥 (BTW the thought of eating coconut still makes us gag 🤣-3 weeks later!). We didn’t include it in this video, but I wanted to share that the boat took us to a resort with a COFFEE BAR and hot showers 🙌🏻 Then we feasted on veggie burgers and fries before napping in a giant crisp white bed 😍 it was truly the best feeling

This experience made us appreciate the little luxuries of life, and that has not worn off even being 3 weeks removed. It’s something we think everyone should experience. We paid for this experience so this is definitely not something they asked us to do, but we went to encourage you to sign up for a trip with @Desert Island Survival (they are also in Tonga 🤩). Here’s their site www.desertislandsurvival.com ❤️ Tom and his team are true gems and you will not regret it!

[amoorerdh]

As a dental hygienist I LOVE the fact y’all are brushing your teeth. This was so cool! Thank you for taking us along!

[Matt_Hattr]

You're all absolutely crazy for doing this, but I give you all so much credit for doing it! This could not have been anywhere in the universe of "easy." I hope Sara has recovered by now lol she did not look happy in that last clip.

[CapitalLLB]

Kara bringing coffee as her survival item is so on brand, I was dying laughing <3

[RenataPereiraTV]

You guys are soooo brave! I'd probably have freaked out with the crabs since day 1 😵😵
Loving the series!

[nicolekowalewski]

Kara bringing coffee as a survival item is so on brand 😂 gotta have your priorities!

[vhzjthe]

I love how Kara stay positive and hype during the challenge . I love how their challenges are actually real compared to other YouTubers.
