Imagine if someone actually saw their SOS & immediately got rescued. This would've been their shortest episode.
This would be great in a real Situation.
12:58 it's not actually a deserted island😅
I'm assuming as part of planning for the episode local authorities were aware that they were filming there.
Haha
In fact you can see what is clearly a hotel within walking distance at 43:25.
Well, not like they'd actually maroon themselves on a desterted island for a TV show production as is pointed out in the episode. It's more just a proof of concept anyway.
I remember watching this episode as a child I’m so happy I get to rewatch it now!!
Man i was an adult when i watched this😂 but that doesn’t change how good it is 👍😊
same here
Same whipe before 12 years
Yes!
this was my favorite episode as a kid! i'm so glad to be rewatching these now.
43:25 i love how they kept the shot in with the big multi story building in the back :D
Cmon it's a TV show lol. You think they deep fried that chicken aswell?? Haha. But yeah pretty funny. Hands down my fav episode
its probably a private island they got permission to film lol
They also said that island is barely deserted, it was never implied its really a desert island lol.
Love these duct tape specials. I know some people don't like the scripted nature of them, but without a story to tie everything together it just becomes a series of unrelated challenges and wouldn't be as entertaining as a full special. It's not like they are trying to win any awards for the scripting/acting, merely giving some context and structure to tie the individual builds together in the absence of their usual myth based format.
5:05 the reflection of the camera team 😂😂😂 why is he standing like that😂😂😂😂😂
I’m camera operator, I usually have to do that pose too when I need to get lower framing on a subject. Easier on the knees and back, also very stable 👍🏼
This is for sure why he did that
@@timofreeeor u use a crane Gimbal like my school does.i Helpdesk with the Building.Its Self stabelising and just weighs about 5kg (without Camera/mic Receiver…..)
@@tuloxe ENG style / broadcast size cameras won’t fit on gimbals. Always handheld and shoulder mounted. Otherwise, operators will break their backs in the first day.
@@timofreee you can get some now with complex rigs that can take the weight, but not at the time of filming, as they only really became effective in the last couple of years (and are probably not something you want anywhere near sand)
You can see tourists walking in the background at 36:15
Yeap. Discovery took a leaf out Man vs Wild with Bear Grylls.
@@leoarc1061 Except Mythbusters doesn't pretend they're really stranded to fool their audience.
@@leoarc1061lol they told that it's filmed in Hawaii
and a nice 5 story building in the background 43:23 but lets be honest, they're just trying to determine whether they can use duct tape to survive.
@@levilevis9032 Bear Grylls has never lied about the fact that they were filming a TV show, not documenting his real survival. In interviews and his books he has talked about how they did stay in local accommodation, he only slept in the wilderness if they specifically were shooting a scene where he was camping out.
My favorite part was the solar still part even though it was ultimately a failure, working, but just not well enough. The use of the duct tape packaging was a clever way of bending the rules, but not breaking them.
This is basically flex seal ad before the flex seal ad
Walrus attacks redhead 😂
The newspaper is glorious!!
Im soo impressed they did not think of making a sail. A FREEKKIN SAIL. THATS WHAT YOU DO ON THE OCEAN, YOU SAIL.
Also, it's still fun to see jamie having fun!
3:13 That is some mythbusters worthy news articles :D
LATEST NEWS: WALRUS ATTACKS REDHEAD
In the calm waters of San Francisco a noisy and somewhat savage attack happened yesterday. A red-headed swimmer was trying to swim through bubbly water when suddenly an angry walrus appeared out of the gloom, barked at him repeatedly and then slapped him. People on the beach said that the walrus seemed to be acting as if it had a grudge against that particular swimmer.
Eye-witness Kory Bellihara was in the water at the time: "This thing came out of nowhere! Suddenly it leapt out of the water, honed in on this red-headed guy and the just started barking at him. Bark, bark, bark, bark. That's what is did. Then it just slapped the guy with its flippers before swimming off to sea. The swimmer was shocked but said it wasn't the first time he'd experienced the wrath of an angry walrus, which seemed strange". Marine biologists were puzzled at the appearance of a walrus in the bad but speculated that the walrus may have seen the red-head as some sort of threat.
Mating behaviour has been ruled out.
Spotter planes have been sent to track the walrus down in case it should attack again. According to Mr Bellihara, the walrus has a distinctively long set of facial whiskers.
(also the misspelled "oopened")
I’ve always wondered if Adam REALLY didn’t know he couldn’t drink the stagnant water, or if it was just something for this episode
I'm sure it's just for the episode
I’m sure it was staged, but it’s information everyone should know if they’re in a survival situation themselves. And at the end of the day, they are both entertainers and scientists, and teaching things in a fun and entertaining way is what they do.
That’s not even the only time they’ve taught viewers things they need to know to survive either. I remember a reunion episode where they watched a video from a fan telling her story of how she and her daughter’s car went off the road and into the water, and she remembered the underwater car escape episode and knew that she had to stay calm and wait til the pressure equalised, and she and her daughter survived because of that knowledge. The Mythbusters were quite emotional watching that(Karrie even cried a little) knowing that their work saved that family’s lives. I’m sure if a fan came to them and said that they were stranded on a desert island and they survived because they remembered this episode, the Mythbusters would be glad that they could help that person too.
I agree with others that it was likely staged just so they could add in that information for the viewers
Of course, it's just for the skit, dudes basically a scientist. He know that well
12:12 wider all four sides with aprox 30” of duct tape but only you turn around that outer square. Now the buggies have to crawl 30 inches over sticky tape before the get to you which they wont. Once i had a plant and i put aprox 2 inches of double sided sticky tape on the edge of the pot to keep the ants away from the plant and it worked. Exceptional to see was how other ants where trying to save the ants who where glued to the tape.
Fair play on the chicken proved can catch a wild chicken ; so no need to kill it. I'd say that's ticked and Jamie has made a credible spear.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you very much, Banijay Science! I've never seen this episode of Mythbusters before, but it is definitely my favorite episode by an order of magnitude!
Having grown up on the Ocean, I would not have ventured into that canoe, unless it was for crossing a strait to another nearby island, and it was REALLY urgent! That was NOT a Seagoing Vessel by any stretch of the Imagination, except for on a clear, calm day like their day was…!
Watching 2 smart people, who both wear glasses, not use their glasses for the fire is kinda hillarious
only one issue, it must be one of the 2 that have the right type of vision issue, as its not bot positive and negative that are able to work for lighting a fire. ive tried with my nearsighted glasses, didnt work. maybe i just lacked skills or sharp enough sun light
@@inquisitorwalmarius6650 probably a drop of water on your glasses can help turn it into a focal point for the sunlight to help with focus. Yau Man of Survivor did just that to make fire.
Maybe because that's just not the point of the episode.
@ThomasMaiens dude, that only works with converging lenses. Most people using glasses have nearsightednes, which is treated with _diverging_ lenses. Those do NOT concentrate light in a single "hot spot"; those _actually make the light LESS concentrated._ As you'd knew if you were a smart glasses user.
@@notfeedynotlazy why my glasses never worked for it, didnt get around to try the water drop idea brought up yet either 🤷♂️
36:12 Is the my favourite part of the show, a sleeping chicken.
15:50
"THAT'S A BIG WET HOLE ! " - Mythbusters
Jamie:
Salt water - NO!!
Stagnant Water - NO!!
Urine - NO!!
Bear Grylls: LET'S GO!! Time to hydrate!
I think I've seen this exact episode like 5 times now and it's still my all-time favorite!
This have to be their best episode. Such a pleasure to rewatch all of that stuff.
You mean worst? This is the most scripted garbage I've seen from Mythbusters.
Love all the duct tape episodes!
@@allanshpeley4284 Wow, you must be fun at parties... You do know all the blueprint room scenes were scripted and often filmed some time apart from the rest of the scenes?
This is one of the dumbest Mythbusters episodes.
@@christianellegaard7120 or are you describing yourself.
Catamaran. Two cannoes linked together. Stable with plenty of stowage for food, water etc, easy to bail. Also means the two aren't forced into close proximity for excessive periods of time because in a confined space like that you will end up fighting after a few days. Those hammocks and shelter tarps can be stretched between the two hulls to increase cargo capacity. The tarps could be erected on a few uprights to form a rudimentary sail or sun shade.
The duct tape survival island is my ask time gaiters episode of mythbusters. I really felt Adam's excitement in his moment of epiphany.
This is absolutely one of my favorite episodes
I have been waiting for this episode
Such a amazing video. Can you please at some point very soon upload the 8th episode from season 8? It has my two favourite myths ever tested that being the giant waterslide and right turns only. If you could make that possible, that would be amazing.
my god what a great episode! i could watch this all day
This is the one!
This is my favourite episode!
10/10!
this is one of my fav episode
That boat was unbelievably good, damn!
One of favourite episodes of the whole series
I don't think you know how happy I'm right now discovering this channel.... My childhood right here
Man this is what i grew up watching thanks its been a hot min
09:13 Adam's pine niddles mustache 😂😂😂
this one was fun. having seen lots of survival series, this one was just a fun take on ducttape. no pretences that it isn't a show, and a great boat at the end.
Hi Adam & Jamie
i like how you left the island. And got back to the island.
Adam! It's the same island! 😮
Absolutely astonishing! The future is truly here.
Have to give it to this channel, the episodes they post are in better quality then on the real channel of mythbusters.
I remember watching this on Tv when I was a kid!
was my favorite episode as a child
32:02 dinner approaching
My favorite episode is now on TH-cam!
This tape is truly amazing
whats about a duct tape sail? out of the rain catcher? sunshade on that boat only a few sticks more you had a roof and a sail guys that boat is good for sure but is it really a plattform to survive a few weeks on the ocean? make a yacht! a fishing rod? i really wanne see all the cool primitive tools made out of duct tape^^ stone duct tape Tomahawk.
41:09 Tear it open as you take it to the water lol
yeah i thought so too :D
Gaffa tape also makes great tinder. Working a few strands off might take a little while but it helps get your fire started. Always keep a bit round a jet lighter in my hiking kit, thanks to Craftsman Sam Hill for offering that useful advice to me, love the REME.
if i was going to do this i would want different colours of duct tape
Nice clean cuts on the bamboo . Must have used some nice sharp rocks or something
And it was very dry, guess they spent a few weeks/months waiting on rescue before deciding to leave.
All that dry wood and green, signal fire, smoke,
20:20 A wild cartoon sound designer appears...
Wild chickens are very agile. Chasing them is a bad idea. You need to establish a trap for it.
just legends
Jamie needs some spear-making lessons from the Aussie indigenous. It is pretty cool how he went with the same idea of making multiple points.
I wonder how they escape? I love it though.
Some guy from a clothes line company like Balenciaga is going to see this 9:00 and it like "YES" and is going to make duct tape shoes. Calling them something like busters to the myth or some shit.
No duck tape was harmmed during the production of this episode
No ducks were harmed in the making of the tape xP
That was..... Awesome!!!! I wanna make a boat out of duct tape now. :)
WALRUS ATTACKED REDHEAD XD and eye witness' name being combined names of three Grant, Tory and Kari XD
People finding theories whether its real or not , when they're eating fried chicken and fish fillet 😂😂😂😂😂😂
*"WALRUS ATTACKS REDHEAD"*
My sides 😀
he shouldnt of told him bout the water till last min let him find you chilling out aw so funny no laughed so hard of the thought
as a brit, its really weird hearing this intro with the American narrator, it's completely different.
RedGreen would be proud
The end! Hahahaha!
I still feel sad every time I see Grant in the intro 😭😭
Same island ya funny buggers!😆🤣😆🤣!
They needed Red Green's help.
I always wondered what island they were on. I did hear Adam saying Hawaii, but still arent sure which of the islands it is
11:20 Well u shouldnt drink too salty water, but it can be saltier, than u might expect, especially if theres none to almost none food.
With salt water, which isnt more sour than the own tears, what would be 0,9% salt, u would add very helpful stuff to your body instead the food.... Because with food, u usually automatically have enough salt and therefor it isnt needed in water.
So with 0,9% salt in water in those occasions u can even drink directly out of the baltic sea for quite a while. Not even kidding. Letting it cook for a while before would be smart tho.
More relevant examples are regular water, mixed with salt water sources near the sea on some places.
So salt water can actually be more useful than regular water in survival situations, if u dont overdo with the saltiness... The more u know...
If u filter stagnant water good enough u can drink that too btw, what is easy nowadays with the right tools.... but yea it would be smarter to look out for a cleaner water than that and put it through the filter, to be sure and to spare the filter better.
15:38 Usually a bad idea as a main source, since this takes WAY too long, but yea it surely helps a bit.
2:07 Is that episode available?
One of my favorites.
They say "a not quite deserted tropical island" in the episode, the point isnt that they are actually stranded for real its just a framing to test out if u can do certain surivival stuff with duck tape so theres no point in trying to disprove the fact they arent on a deserted island lol.
that is undeniably a beautiful boat, but realistically speaking you wouldn't want to leave an island where you have food, water and shelter with hopes of rescue to go most likely drown while paddling your boat into a random direction without a goal in sight, no?
bro casually waved down a USAF C-17 whilst there's an SOS sign there, probs triggered a rescue response or smth 😂
Yes, thank you! this is my favorite episode and I could watch it over and over again!
in case of a zombie apocalypse loot the local duct tape factory. :D
owey ducktape but wipes lol
Great episode 👍
41:10 and 41:14 You can see they changed locations. The ground is different.
That boat is a masterpiece of engineering
It is but its still a simple canoe frame with duct tape
Duct tape itself is an actual marvel of engineering, tell me how many products can fix anything and work "as seen on TV" you have ever bought, used or witnessed in your life
They even used that shit to patch things up in Vietnam including helicopter rotors, hulls and instruments
1:20:28 lmao hahahah
yes
How did they saw the bamboo?
We're putting you two boys on an island together until you learn how to get along
Bamboos sawn cut😅😅
It's the same island but, they'd paddled through a Hasslein curve and, it's now ruled by intelligent chickens...
Handyman Secret Weapon.
I didnt know Mythbusters could have haters...
They maybe should have tried to build a compass from duct tape.. ;-)
Put a pebble in the middle
a great man once said :
if the women don't find you handsome, they will find you handy.
How is it that there are chiken's evrywere, also their boat is missing a net and a heatshield
Meanwhile the camera crew having burgers and water on the side
What happened to the giant cephalopod on the beach?
And another question you'll never answer???
Toilet paper? Duck tape 😣...
Rum back, duck tape distilled piss and
Cheeerrrss
naiCE
How did they saw the Bamboo? 🪚
Mythbusters was a scripted show. The bamboo was already cut and probably numbered, too. They only had to assemble it.
I think flex tape would have been more effective
Wow
They did not know they could get water from wines kek
