The episode when your boat drifted off really had me worried about the two of you both. And how long it took for you to swim to it. I'm glad your both safe to tell the story afterwards. Always play safe! Cheers Mate! 👍👍
I remember watching that video when you lost the boat. That could have been really rough, makes you really appreciate tent, water source, food, fishing gear, etc. Thanks for sharing.👍🏻👍🏻🎣🐾
Wow Strick, never knew about this story. You do a great job laying it all out, and I think we'd still be seeing you two after the rescue if you hadn't retrieved the boat!
Don't eat when you don't have a source of drinking water...you need water for digestion, otherwise you actually increase your dehydration. Luckily they have coconuts...pure drinking water and a food source. The coconut oil can be used for sunburn.
Seems like you experienced a bit of sleep paralysis where your mind partially awakes but your body is still asleep and under the protection of paralysis (aka atonia). People often experience hallucinations during these biological twilight moments. In the olden days people would believe (or actually hallucinate) that a demon or monster of some description was sitting atop them or holding them down somehow preventing them from moving.
I have had that experience as well and ~when I called upon the name of Jesus it went away and I was awake where my eyes were open and I still felt it until Jesus took care of it. And another time something was pressing down on my throat and it was intentional and I couldn’t see anything but I felt it my eyes were awake I felt like I was awake and the name of Jesus is what you do and it is the Lord Jesus Christ that comes and gets rid of it.
but sleep paralysis normally happens when you are laying flat on your back. that’s when your body relaxes the quickest, HE WAS LAYING IN HIS SIDEEEE!!!!!! lol just an observation
@@iamdeku9981 It doesn't really make a difference, at least to myself. I find it happening more when I'm sleeping outdoors or in a new/strange place. It's like the caveman part of my brain is trying to be conscious of my potentially dangerous surroundings and noises while my body goes, nope, we're definitely sleeping now whether you like it or not.
@@iamdeku9981 There might be something to note with that. Ive had sleep paralysis since childhood. When I sleep on my side the attacks are mostly audio. Compared to the physical ones that happen when on my back.
@@brIceni-x4w if that’s the “caveman” in us then why would it also happen in our beds in our homes. I feel like it’s just a way of our body knowing something is about to happen
Alright Jack! One trick and it will will reassure you the next day, or at least explain if you are being visited. When I used to sleep in the bush or camp on the edge of the beach, before bed, clear away your tracks around your position. (camp area and paths leading to) If you get visited you will be able track the visitor.
This happened to field days, he woke up cause people were hanging around and he was quite worried. When he woke up in the morning, they had taken stuff and been walking all around his little camp.
Another awesome video Jack, I still remember that episode, ur were so tired after finally getting too that boat that was adrift, mate i swear I learn so much watching ur videos every week, thanks for always sharing yours and Frans adventures, well done mate ✌✌
That was bloody epic strick, one of my favourite episodes for sure. It’s awesome to see what life would’ve (somewhat) been like for humans before we developed the tech that we have today.
Strick that was a great episode 🦘🇦🇺😎 about the hand 🤚 in the back,I would say you fell a sleep because you were so busy looking for food and everything else. Your body would just have relaxed but you mind would have still been going through what to get next 🌴🐟🐠
You threw away a spent lighter which would generate a spark even when empty!? Really enjoyed this episode. I hope I can find the video of the original lost boat! He sure knows his stuff.
Wonderfully filmed plus incomprehensibly beautiful nature..I love your hunting and grilling fish on the coast, as well as surviving tech. Thanks for everything and keep going, greetings from Alberta - Canada.🤙🍁🤠💕🌿🍷✌
Boy does this bring back many a fond memory from when I/we(brothers/sisters) were young...lived out in the Spanish country side and use to build lean- to's,huts etc out in the sand dunes...heat/shelter/water from the elements were the only things we needed(not really water, but was fun to dig for it in the sand dunes!!)
I went back and watched the video on the boat loss. Nuts completely nuts. Just nothing between disaster and getting the boat back. If you hadn't got the boat back could you have made it back to the island? I think your guardian angel was on that day.
just my input for what it's worth. If you turn the palm fronds around so that they angle "down" it will cause rainwater to shed off your shelter and land outside your dry area. I live in Botswana and we also use palm fronds for shelter. The way you have put them certainly gives shade, but any rainwater quickly fills the palm leaf cavities and will drip right onto your "dry space" If you angle them in a "down facing" position, you can also arrange containers to catch any shed rain or dew water. I may be wrong. But that is my experience.
About your "ghost" experience. I have had sleep paralysis many times before, and what you described sounds very familiar to me. You may have had a sleep paralysis episode. One of the most common symptoms experienced is either a weight on you, or the feeling of something grabbing you etc, and it happens as you wake up and you are somewhere between dreaming and being awake.
We can remember when you lost the boat, what an episode. Can't you burn the dry coconut husks? Thought it would be a good dense burning fuel? . A great watch thank you!
Those small fish you walked away from... I would have chased the small fish into the bank hoping some beached themselves, like dolphins do... And where is Fran? She has the look and lady luck on her side :)
Great episode to make you think through the potential consequences and ways to survive. Do you bring more survival gear in your land bag nowadays? Like a Garmin Inreach device and a flint? I was thinking for myself that I might start doing that just in case and its small enough to always bring along and get you out of trouble a lot faster.
In order of importance ... Shelter, water, fire, food. The rule of threes... Three minutes without air. Three hours without shelter. Three days without water. Three weeks without food.
Hey brother I'm a bit of a history buff and on the show where you were looking for the missing Jet. The round wheel looking iron thing you picked up looked a lot like a world war 2 mine. You guys please keep that in mind at all times lots of those islands and their shallows were mined extensively. Most of them would most likely be rusted out and inert but it's possible some aren't. I truly love your posted shows. Please be very careful! Bro Andy n Sis Sandy Marion County Ga USA
The spirits exist my friend. Don’t think for a second they don’t! They absolutely do. And on islands like that ⬆️ you may have many more than you might imagine.
Ur very knowledgeable hun & correct too, that Turtle was definitely chomped by a Tiger shark, but those teeth marks i would have kept the carapace for sure as a momentum of ur experience 😊
Mel is The Road Warrior Strick is The Beach Warrior Dude Strick this video is amazing! you might save some lives by showing these skills to the uninformed, I would love to see more survival and bushcraft style videos in the future, also please please buy or make bows and fishing arrows for you and Fran to bow fish! You would have stuck that bonefish from up on the beach that would be so epic to add bow fishing!! Thanks guys love y'all from Alabama!!
It is great to reflect on one of your scariest adventures and work through some survival scenarios ........ I’m not trolling, but think you need to value add a lot more in this situation. * Start working on making a woomera for your spear......it will increase your power and effective range * Make structure to hold fish in shallows.....some sticks and palm fronds to act like a FAD or at least a temp hiding place to give fish a false sense of security, position near your ideal hunting perch/hide. Utilise what ever you can to value add as bait ..... hermit crabs, snails, coconut etc.... * To be effective signal fires need to be extraordinarily large, not just to get attention but also to get someone to investigate,,,,,,,they should not be right at your shelter - should be near but not a couple of steps away, they need to be massive......need a lot of fuel at the ready. Utilise washed up rubbish - plastics and rubber to help thicken smoke as well as green leaves for daylight signalling. So you should weave basic basket to help collect this efficiently. * try and scavenge anything reflective to help signal in daylight, inside of cans can be polished, etc.... * learn to use and make foot strap to climb coconut tree Survival is a mental challenge as much as a physical endurance, establish good basics early and conserve energy, hydration plan, lean more on your wholistic knowledge and develop a broad strategy don’t just look for the one page/one step solution
I've watched all your videos and I notice hand spear efforts seem pretty hit and miss. Have you ever considered using an atlatl or aboriginal woomera? It's very accurate with a little practice, increases your speed, impact force and range and would give Francesca a better chance at success. Just a thought.
I am from the pacific. One of our story is there are small people on islands like this. So you got poked by one of them it seem. Mostly they are friendly, and they usually come out at night time to fish. They won't show themselves if they think you are a bad person.
Excellent! This step by step could literally save someone caught in this situation. I love the islands and will tuck this in the back of my mind. Hopefully I will not have to use it. Thanks!
Great video. Just a FYI, if you had filled the globe completely with water instead of halfway you would have eliminated the shake and thus the excess refraction and loss of focus and at the same time increased the focusing power of the lens (to get the last of the air out, hold it in your hand to expand the air and then plunge into water which will contract the air and suck water in..repeat process till full.)
I had a near identical experience whilst camping. Ultimately chalked it up to a cramp, but it freaked me out deluxe. Had been pig hunting all day, too. Felt like something had nudged me in the side of my back as I slept. Virtually identical to as you've described.
I've just launched a new Survival Challenge Series re-visiting some epic stories, hope you enjoy! th-cam.com/video/HAnX2XLI8g4/w-d-xo.html
If you stop talking for second you would get that fire faster!!!
Super cool, I loved the vido, mate
Coconut crab
Hey
That coconut stabilizer to start the fire, was freaking genius! Love the ingenuity

True that. survival
Another very inspiring & instructive episode in survival techniques on a simply magnificent idyllic island down under! Great job, Jack!
Very good 🤠😊
I remember watching that video when you lost the boat.
That could have been really rough, makes you really appreciate tent, water source, food, fishing gear, etc. Thanks for sharing.👍🏻👍🏻🎣🐾
Most excellent Jack. Perfect blend of danger, nature, survival knowledge, and luck! I could watch videos like that ALL day. Thank you.
To be accurate, you did have one more resource that day, a very valuable asset. You had Fran, who makes for one very excellent partner.
Wow Strick, never knew about this story. You do a great job laying it all out, and I think we'd still be seeing you two after the rescue if you hadn't retrieved the boat!
Very good 🤠☺️
Oh, yes.
What a wonderful story to share.
Thank you, Strick and Fran. I always find your entries very enjoyable. Keep it coming!
Imagine how strong the indigenous people of this great land are, not only survive but to thrive for 72,000 years plus in this hard place.
Great video. Most people don't realize that it takes a LOT of patience to catch food most days. Survival is tough.
Don't eat when you don't have a source of drinking water...you need water for digestion, otherwise you actually increase your dehydration.
Luckily they have coconuts...pure drinking water and a food source. The coconut oil can be used for sunburn.

Very good 🤠😊
Could've been custodian ancestors letting you know their around. Great survival skills..love how the mullet just sacrificed itself..lol
I like this explanation the best about the hand on his back in middle of the night.
A custodian ancestor sounds comforting 😊
Well done Jack! Always a pleasure mate! 😉❤
Thank you for this episode, it was amazing. I love the longer videos. Dude you did great on this challenge. I look forward to Sundays and Wednesdays.
Very good 🤠😊
Love those Island Survival Videos , would just watch them , please more like this
best channel to use as a tutorial❤❤❤❤
So pleasing to watch! Great tips and ideas, thanks mate!
wow... it was great. I really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing Strick
Strick, Great video and informative on how to survive and fire starting.
You threw away a spent lighter which would generate a spark even when empty!? Really enjoyed this episode. I hope I can find the video of the original lost boat! He sure knows his stuff.
Strick & Fran i really enjoyed watching your videos you guys are awesome 👍
Wonderfully filmed plus incomprehensibly beautiful nature..I love your hunting and grilling fish on the coast, as well as surviving tech. Thanks for everything and keep going, greetings from Alberta - Canada.🤙🍁🤠💕🌿🍷✌
Very good 🤠☺️
Love the way you survived
Leisurely fire technique
Ty 4 information ❤
Hi❤❤❤❤
20:03 , I have made " fire " ! A nice what if , in reference to what if the worst did happen . So thanks again for another enlightening tutorial .
2nd, love these 2, especially their underwater videography.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VODEO! ONE CAN ONLY BE SO LUCKY! STAY SAFE!
Bro give us back fran and you togather survivals pls ❤️😍☺️🥰 that was the best episodes seeing you happy togather living dream life
Boy does this bring back many a fond memory from when I/we(brothers/sisters) were young...lived out in the Spanish country side and use to build lean- to's,huts etc out in the sand dunes...heat/shelter/water from the elements were the only things we needed(not really water, but was fun to dig for it in the sand dunes!!)

Very nicely videoed and edited. A palpably real situation conveyed well.
I remember that episode! It was nail biting lol but all’s well that ends well! Great video!
Amazing journey 👍🏻🙂
22:56 😯 wow so talented

Thanks for the excellent video. Made with a soul and great talent. Each Robinson should have its own Friday or Fran.
Its really interesting how on a field trip one time, we had to build the exact same shelter that you used in this video. Interesting stuff!
Super Cool Survival Challenge. Amazing Video, Awesome Vlog. Interesting Content. Thanks for Sharing your surviving skills. So Cool.👍👌🇨🇦

Thank you so much for these beautiful videos. Watching your videos is always a high point in our week, Please Upload Videos Often💪👍
Very good 🤠☺️
I have to say. That was bloody awesome!!!!
2:11 always keep a lighter even if the lighting part doesn’t work, if you use a knife to cut the plastic into small pieces it’s great for fire starter
Where is Fran? So good with the two of you working together...
Thanks guys 🐟👍🏻😎
The island spirit just grabbing you to see if he can try some Athleticgreens.
Very fun videos and stories. Thanks for taking us all along on your adventures. Wonderful stuff.
Ghost Island... The fact that you felt the presence prior to touch... says alot...
Fresh Cool Water is always the first thing, Strick. Hunt while You Are looking for something to Drink.
We can remember when you lost the boat, what an episode. Can't you burn the dry coconut husks? Thought it would be a good dense burning fuel? . A great watch thank you!
I remember that your mom told you that you couldn't give up and go back you had to keep swimming to your boat. That is life changing advice
Nice adventure guys.. & also nice place.. watching from the🇵🇭🇵🇭
Very good 🤠☺️
That was so cool 👌 I loved the fire 🔥 fish 🎣 and all your patience needed for supper !
Thanks, I love the water.
You should put the AG-1 in the coconut 🥥 and shake!!! 😀
I've done that actually, it was great! :)
well done with that spear on the fish mate, very difficult
Absolutely love videos like this, the tropical. The scariness of the water it’s so interesting. You earned yourself a like and a sub
The mighty anglerfish ey 💪😏❤🔥
Those small fish you walked away from... I would have chased the small fish into the bank hoping some beached themselves, like dolphins do... And where is Fran? She has the look and lady luck on her side :)
Thanks for the vido 👍 loved the natural lighter 😊 avoid aluminum between you and the food 👍
Great episode to make you think through the potential consequences and ways to survive. Do you bring more survival gear in your land bag nowadays? Like a Garmin Inreach device and a flint?

Bad skipper loses his boat bud! Well done for catching it though.... 😜

That was great and I learned some things as well!
Hi Jack it's Your friend Ray from California , grate survival video my friend and I hope You and Fran are doing well. May GOD BLESS YOU AND Fran 😇🙏😇
Ur very knowledgeable hun & correct too, that Turtle was definitely chomped by a Tiger shark, but those teeth marks i would have kept the carapace for sure as a momentum of ur experience 😊
That was awesome thanks mate 👍
Keep spreading love everywhere Everyone 💟💝
I really enjoy watching this video
Gave me chill bumps
Bloody hell ur a champion Azza.
Wow, that's amazing, friend
The hand that touched him was a demon for sure. He isnt tripping or losing his mind
Mel is The Road Warrior
