I could watch you 2 all day I believe. Always loved back to basics, but ever since you 2 went on the great adventure, I can't get enough of just the 2 of you'. You certainly deserve way more subscribers. Much love, good luck and I'll be waiting for the next one. Simpsonville, SC USA
You two are so great together. I don't think I've enjoyed another video as much as I did this one. What a great team. Frans playful personality, lucky guy mate. With that water collection method, sprinkle seawater all over the branches and sand under the plastic. It will also evaporate and double the reward of fresh drinkable water. Appreciate you taking the time in very challenging conditions to always bring the excellent content! 👍👍
The amount of pollution in the first couple minutes of your video is just so heartbreaking. Great video though and what an amazing couple. Thank you for sharing.
Such a great adventure, thanks for taking us with you! I had an idea that i once used as a quicker way of destilling water. You fill the finished hole with a few hot coals and then quickly extinguish them with water. Just not too much, otherwise the plastic melts... The sauna effect will give you a lot of water!
A Great Vid Stict and Fran. Good to see you both mixing the light hearted moments while foraging for necessities. And some Bloopers...Awesome. . A most enjoyable Vid. Thankyou....!!!
Truly a Beautiful couple . You seam to have it all , yes I realize you have some crappy days ,, but that all gets pushed to the back and you have what I just watch , Awesome .thank you , Bob
Now. Way u guys have been on a survival for 2 months strait , Wow what a life I would take a day of that anytime ,lifted my spirits just watching thank you ,a beautiful mate ,beautiful place you can't beat that ,👍👍
My goodness, I really enjoyed watching the two of you sitting close together at the fire, during the night, cooking the oysters and octopus as your on-trey before your main meal. The two of you are meant to be together. I remember similar events, so good, in our younger years.
You two are totally showing how to produce great content in this genre. Simply on another level to anything that a media company could produce. Keep enjoying it! (We all are!!)
Your Survival Challenge was an exceptional episode. Very well done. Im extremely impressed with both of your videography skills and natural talent. Seriously, it is very close to world class. Dont stop what what you are doing, and continue to work toward making it even better. Fran, its great to see you involved in every facet of your episodes. Respectfully, you are a pleasure to look at, but much more importantly, your knowledge of marine biology, and your survival skills, are captivating. You are a BIG part of what is making Back 2 Basics a success. I really enjoyed this episode. Like many of the seafood delicacies you hunt for, Im hooked!! Viva Back 2 Basics Adventures!
That’s the most I’ve ever heard Fran talk. Was she camera shy before and shy because of a language barrier? Her English is really good. I’ll be sure to help you guys out and buy a calendar.
I was just thinking about this episode yesterday, and whether you guys were familiar with the bamboo saw method of firestarting. It seems like there is often dry bamboo on the beach, and if you split it open and rub the outside of one piece back and forth on the exposed edges of the other one, as it saws through the shell, it will be glowing hot, and light the tinder resting inside.
I love Back 2 Basics, you two are so beautiful together. Wishing you many years together. I think you missed out on some more food though. Early in the day you found a line with a hook but you tried to use the lure to catch fish. I think you would have had better luck using the J hook with bait such as oysters of the rock
love you guys, you make me laugh and smile, your deep love of your environment and wildlife is uplifting and inspirational, you are lovely together , Stricks , you are a bit bloody wreckless sometimes, for goodness sake learn how to use a machete and knife safely, see bushcraft vids they will help, and look after your Fran, she is priceless, i want a Fran, adventurous, she can light a fire ,build a shelter, forage, cook, her laugh is infectious in the best possible way, keep spreading the love, the environmental awareness, many blessings, peace, love in your hearts to all. Thank you.💓💜🙏
I think this is the only actual survival challenge done on a youtube channel, everyone else always has some essentials. You guys had nothing! not even WATER!!! Love your work guys. So excited for the new series. P.s any new singlets coming out soon? or any stickers coming? Stay safe guys, thanks for the entertainment. x
A tip about the way you are making fresh water. No need to use green leaves, shrubbery or any greenery. Go down to the waters edge and use wet sand. It doesn't matter if the water is salty. After it condenses on the plastic sheet only fresh water will remain. You will get a LOT more fresh water per hour of sunlight that way.
I think survival on the East coast looks a bit less extreme than here on the West, a bit of shade and yummy 🌴 coconuts help Awesome to see you guys hanging out and having Fun with the ever growing La Vagabonde crew, they definitely fit into the Legendary category also Pelagic Matty & Bro Az Association and friendship is everything in life, your sharing this beautiful life journey with some Epic Aussie's... I'll definitely be jumping on board for your B2B calendar and happily donating $100 towards the future B2B Adventures. Safe Travels, Have Fun Good Vibes Cheers for the Postcard Peter
So glad to see you back! I had to look away during the octopus scenes, I had one as a pet once, we were very close, she was smarter than any pet I have had including dogs and cats!
I hope you took Fran out to dinner after this, you owe her one! LOL Great video... Have you ever noticed when you NEED it, you don't see anything, and when you do not need anything, there is a abundance!
So Fran doesn’t want to do the challenge but manages to find a light bulb that started the camp fire, made water from leaves, tested the water first, found a $25 dollar squid jig, build a house, had a swim and siesta plus took photos and video and probably cooked. Strick on the other hand found an empty bottle, some knotted up fishing line, a shell and managed to sharpen a stick. Lucky for the baby octopus, the rock with oysters and 2 muddy clams. Strick you’re a lucky man, I would have been sent on a Maccas run!! Joking guys, really enjoyed the vid and the challenge, btw the calendar will be a winner I’m sure. 👌 👌 👌
The crab at 16:04 is a crenate swimming crab, they are prolific and I’m fairly sure you are allowed to keep them. They look a lot like a mud crab but they’re eyes are much further apart. Great content mate🤙
I really enjoy watching you two tackling the outdoors, and of course the hunting and interesting things you usually find to eat! I'm excited for the second season of the B2B Great Adventure, and I'll do my very best to try and save up for the calendar! I will always do what I can to support a channel like yours where you are actually in the bush or in remote places getting by on what you have with you. I'm just on a tight budget so it might take a month or two, that's all.
👋 I'm so looking forward to getting Back 2 Basics & heading over to Cairns just before Christmas. Time to live and enjoy life on the Great Barrier Reef. Thank you so very much Guys for creating the extra Inspiration with your Awesome Vids of this beautifully wild country Good Vibes 👍 Cheers from West Aus Peter
Cool, my first time watching your channel from SLV. :) loved the challenge. So brave of you to stick a live octopus in your mouth!! I was cringing of badly! But that just shows we are too comfortable in our modern life that we have lost our basic skill of surviving out in the bush. Great ep!
Thanks for watching guys! Pre-order your calendar now so you don't miss out :) b2b.squarespace.com/thankyou
Where is Fran from? Her accent sounds French

you have given me a little extra idea in collecting the extra bit of fresh water, thanks buddy
Great video always, must say Fran is my all-time favorite on TH-cam, all natural, no ink,, personality, demeanor, she's got it all.
You two are an absolute joy to watch!
These two are the best thing I've ever seen on the internet
The amount of pollution in the first couple minutes of your video is just so heartbreaking. Great video though and what an amazing couple. Thank you for sharing.
Fran is hilarious. I admire the way you two work together. Genuine caring.

Fran is just so darn cute when she cheats with the light bulb ,just adorable
That’s the most I’ve ever heard Fran talk. Was she camera shy before and shy because of a language barrier? Her English is really good. I’ll be sure to help you guys out and buy a calendar.
Fran is so easy going i wonder if she has a sister?She makes you glow mate and she shines so bright in every way , what a trooper.
wow..... you guys are great... I can't imagine doing what you both get up to. Fran you are admirable.... thanks
ones mans trash is definitely one mans treasure...great to see how you both made use of what the sea had bought to shore .. 💛🌼💛

Yes!! more Fran and not only because she's a smoke show, she's funny and entertaining.
Fran is an absolute goddess even in a survival challenge

It’s nice to see Fran in front of the camera more
Great work on the video guys, pitty Jack couldn't pull his weight and bring home a decent feed! Loved the editing Fran 😎

This channel and field days is probably my favourite to channels on TH-cam ❤️
Fran is AWESOME!!
I like the little bum wiggle at 16:23 :D, interesting vid anyway guys.
Fran . . .relax and smile smile smile, ,, , let that other guy take care of you. .. . . love you guys.

Can't wait for season 2. Love the beautiful scenery and you two are a joy to watch. What a great life exploring your great country areas. Peace.😎✌👍

So wonderful, to see such a wonderful couple, sharing the same interests and at one with nature, Fran may be a better Spearo, 😉

Blue Lagoon with Fran and Strick , Great !
Who would thumbs these guys down?? Weird always one ☝️
Hey Brandon from Jamaica you can used the shell crabs for bait just take it out of the shell and rip the soft part off an put it on the hook
Hey Jack, you and Fran are a great looking couple. Best of luck to both of you.
I loved the show. Fran's shelter looked like some kind of spooky religious structure. :)
Great videos Guys thanks heaps
Wow, out there just the two of you. It looks like very good memories.
So glad to see you back!
I had to look away during the octopus scenes, I had one as a pet once, we were very close, she was smarter than any pet I have had including dogs and cats!
You are very lucky to be a survivor with a lady so beautiful and resourceful. Good job to you both. Gary near Alaska.
Sick as guys..... Great to see positive Vibes.
Best series on TH-cam.. 🇦🇺🍻
Great vid guys
Good Ep guys! Nice to hear from Fran a bit more too!
Omg you two so beautiful souls love yous met for each other
I've never seen water collected like that... excellent!
you two are super rad!!
I hope you took Fran out to dinner after this, you owe her one! LOL Great video... Have you ever noticed when you NEED it, you don't see anything, and when you do not need anything, there is a abundance!
You have Fran,s soul all that is needed to survive !!
Oh my God she had me laughing so hard 🤣 🤣 iwhen she lit her fire cool video guys
I LIKE THIS STYLE THE SMALL FISH THEY THROW BACK INTO THE SEA THIS ATTITUDE IS BELONG FOR THE CLEVER PEOPLE'S FOR FUTURE
Very nice Fran
Keeping ur morale high is always important. Fran cheating on making a fire was classic,
So Fran doesn’t want to do the challenge but manages to find a light bulb that started the camp fire, made water from leaves, tested the water first, found a $25 dollar squid jig, build a house, had a swim and siesta plus took photos and video and probably cooked. Strick on the other hand found an empty bottle, some knotted up fishing line, a shell and managed to sharpen a stick. Lucky for the baby octopus, the rock with oysters and 2 muddy clams. Strick you’re a lucky man, I would have been sent on a Maccas run!! Joking guys, really enjoyed the vid and the challenge, btw the calendar will be a winner I’m sure. 👌 👌 👌
The crab at 16:04 is a crenate swimming crab, they are prolific and I’m fairly sure you are allowed to keep them. They look a lot like a mud crab but they’re eyes are much further apart. Great content mate🤙
That was a lot of fun guys. Good luck with your channel.
Love you guys! So good to see you 2 together what a team. Look forward to your next adventure
So lucky to live over there!
And great to see the love between you both...
And 20:58 is so funny 🙂
Just a tip but if you filled the light bulb 💡 up with water it would have focused the light going through it and started an ember.
Naked and Afraid would have the highest ratings ever.....:)
I Love You 2 back 2 Basics is Amazing.
I really enjoy watching you two tackling the outdoors, and of course the hunting and interesting things you usually find to eat!

I have two words for Fran.....Bed & Breakfast. Fun video thanks again.
Saya sangat senang mengikuti perjalanan dan liburan kalian berdua.sungguh indah panorama alam yang ditampilkan
