  • ECOFLOW: us.ecoflow.com/?aff=141 Can you buy what you need at the Dollar General to survive on an island? They don't sell fishing gear at the Dollar General so I thought doing a survival Challenge with just stuff I buy at the Dollar General would be a special twist to this island survival challenge. How will I catch and cook and survive the night without proper survival gear?

      Thought the same after working in retail when I was younger, that really annoyed me (still does when I see it shopping) when you find a steak not just on a random unrefrigerated shelf but actually hidden behind something, I mean is it too difficult to put it back where you picked it up or if you are lazy which you are if you just dump stuff take it the till when you checkout and hand it in there to have a staff member return it for you. Rant over lol.

    Few thoughts...
    The outer layer of the tape probably had to be put in the opposite direction, so that it doesn't open the seams when dragged against the water flow. Additionally when seams are open (as seen on the video) it may create an extra drag to slow you down.
