- I’m on an uninhabited island in Panama with Naomi, who was on the Alone UK TV series. We’re taking 15 clients on the survival adventure of a lifetime before heading off ourselves on a survival challenge with no food, water or matches. You’ll also get my tips on how to survive on a tropical island with extreme heat, sandflies and crocodiles.

Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! But let’s be real, the true hero of this adventure was Mike’s wife for letting him go 😅
You welcome @OutbackMike. Your channel is very good & informative, and you seem like a nice, down to earth guy. If you ever come to Mexico, drop me a line and I be glad to help. I am a wildlife vet & a research animal ecologist (with a PhD from Durham University, UK) and also an avid amateur bush crafter, bow hunter and adventurer. Not much of a survivalist, I am afraid, but I know a thing or two. I used to have a very good Australian friend (also wildlife vet and professor Dr. Anthony English) that sadly passed away from Parkinson disease a few years ago (RIP dear Tony). With him, a learned to appreciate the Outback way & style, mate! Love the accent & the way of life. Cheerios!
Wtf! I have no idea how my response to Mike got here. I am very sorry for the irruption. @lukeo5908 . I suppose I accidentally copy/paste from my post while reading your hilarious comment and it got here instead of mine. Sorry again. Not really a TH-cam commentator (obviously)

His wife didn't know that he was accompanied by a beautiful girl😀😀😀
Mark my words: one million subscribers by the end of the year. For the future commenters he’s currently at 80k in early 2024. Great video, Mike!
Thanks heaps Jonathon. I’ll still be preoccupied with my feature film (based on my dugout canoe expedition) during this year but I’m going to go full time TH-cam as soon as that wraps up. I hope to the at least some of the TH-cam series on the dugout canoe expedition out this year too. I’m guessing they’ll be around 15 eps at least on it.
@@OutbackMike really looking forward to it! Take things at your own pace man. I’ll be watching videos even if they come in once a year.
Having been born and raised in the forest in Cambodia, starting a fire was the first thing I was taught by my parents and my grandparents. You can use a small hollow bamboo to blow the area where the potential fire to start that way you’re not inhaling the smoke and keep your face away from the flames as well. I’ve also served in the US Army for 12 years and I was an instructor for survival school in the Army.
as a fellow solider i wish i could have attended one of these trainings.
I’m so happy I found your channel. You and Naomi are absolutely incredible survival experts, also I’m glad the crocs weren’t any issue!
Thanks. We’re just lucky they weren’t hungry enough😂
Finally you getting out with a group you are teaching basic survival skills with.
It is the Rainy Season here in Costa Rica where I am currently living the past 4 years. I really enjoyed watching you build the dug out.
Thanks heaps 🙂
My husband and I are doing this trip in March with DIS. So excited! Really enjoyed your video - thanks Mike 😀
Cool. I think there might be less sandflies at that time. I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of it.
I really hope so! 😬🤞@@OutbackMike
I'm 78 and disabled so I need some survival tips on putting out the rubbish/garbage. Oh, I was waiting for Naomi's tips on how to make lipstick, nail varnish and mascara from coconuts.
Great video, loved you on Alone. Keep pumping out the awesome videos.
Thanks for sharing
Another awesome video mike , I didn’t know your background was so deep until this video , and I just want to say again your an absolute beast 💯
Thanks heaps Riley.
What a lovely couple you are guys, enjoyed watching tour team work. Your accent is cool.
Thanks so much! 😊
great video man really enjoy watching your content, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Good on ya Mike! Great watch. Tropical Island survival on the coast always seems to have plenty of positives to offer (besides the abudance of biting insects) I can imagine how very different it to somewhere like cold southern Australia.
Thanks. Yeah. It was very similar to my 50 day dugout canoe expedition up the GBR though.
@@OutbackMike that adventure was a bloody good read and I'm looking forward to the film
I Love this Video.
It was one of the most beautiful times in my life.
Spending time with you and the others and learning so much was an honor for me. I hope we see each other again sometime in our lives. greetings from Germany
Hey Paul! Great to hear from you. You really did fantastic out there. You put in the hard yards (as we say in Oz) and got a lot of food. It was great spending time with you. You were so keen and quick to learn.
Here from Clay Hayes. Great content. New sub!
Awesome. Thanks 👍
Me too just subscribed
Awesome stuff and much respect. This is the type of content we need in 2024. No more TikTok dances
Thanks heaps🙏
We need more videos like this!
Thanks 🙏
Chur bro sis wicked reminds me of my childhood living Australia now from NZ,thanks.

That’s great to hear thanks Jarneh👍
Hi there you two guys from Brazil,just came across your channel and fell in love,man you guys are great,gonna subscribe,give a like and follow you 2 guys...Big hug from sao paulo,Brazil!!!
Thanks😊
Great video! Made me think of Alby Mangels and Judy Green.🙂
Epic video, informative & fun to watch.
Thanks heaps!
Well done! I like your shirt. See if I can find it on Amazon. Sure is a lot of garbage, shocking so. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from sw ontario Canada.
Questions, looks like you have no feer of the unknown. My upbringing was to feer the unknown..struggled all my life with it, I found my outdoor activities with my dog more comfortable.
Thanks heaps. Yeah it’s a great shirt. I boughtt it in Nepal. I don’t anything else about the brand.
Great to see what you were talking about on the podcast. Is the leatherman wave the single most important piece of survival kit? Watching a series of alone currently and everyone seems to have taken one. Or is it simply the multi tool in one factor? If you could have only one thing when your abandoned on a desert island, what would it be? A fero rod?
It would either be a machete or a multi-tool. I’d have to think harder to decide between the two. The exact multitool type is personal preference depending on your skill set. I’m using a leatherman P4 Free atm. The nee Arc looks like it improves on the P4 and I’m keen to try one.
@@OutbackMikethank you
Awesome video! The birds you saw are frigatebirds. They remind me of pteranodons. 🤨
Cool, thanks. I just googled them. I’ve seen them before but the from the side. I didn’t realise they looked like that from below.
Just subbed, liked, and commented. Greetings from central Florida.
Cool. Thanks 🙏
@@OutbackMike Yw
Keep posting man, love your conent
I appreciate that! Thanks.
It looks like you all had a good time. Panama is too faaahkin hot and humid, though I was surprised at how much the jungle cooled at night. I attended the U.S. Army jungle survival school there back in the late 70s. it was a great experience but failed to enamor me to the jungle or even the tropics in general.
Yeah in the sets season it’s pretty rough. Especially if you were doing military stuff.
@@OutbackMike Yeah, anything army blows....Ironically I lived in thailand and cambodia for 12 years.....still didnt get use to the tropics.
im 21 and id love to do this but i dont need the training. id just love to join you to one of these events.
Hey mike. Mad video as always. Any recommendations for hammocks?
I’m not sure of the brand of these hammocks, I was given a Nakie hammock for Christmas though. It’s got a fly screen and tarp and seems good. I haven’t tested it yet though.
@@OutbackMike I've seen the nakie ones advertised, keen to hear how it goes
Nice video mate. How often are you doing these sort of excursions?
Thanks. I’m hoping to do a couple a year. If you follow me on Instagram @outback_mike I’ll announce next time I commit to one.
@@OutbackMike cheers mate
Very good 👍🏻
Thanks for watching👍
Very good video
Thanks
And if you ever come to Florida you have leet me know , would love to meet you an the fam ✊🏻
Great information
Thanks!
OMG 12.41 !!! I most definitely would take a good look around too. That is a landscape mate! 😲😄. But seriously, sandflies in Latin-American can transmit nasty diseases such as Leishmaniasis and others. Crocodilus acutus is not as bad as C. porosus, but definitely cause some deaths here and there. A tourist was killed by one in the beaches of Guerrero, Mexico just recently. And in such a polluted beach I would be extremely careful (being barefooted) with human rubbish such as needles, glass, sharp iron and dog shit (because it can transmit a nasty parasite (Ancylostoma) through the skin). All of it is a common cause of visiting the ER here (and there, I suppose). Interesting stuff.
Thanks Manuel. Yeah I heard about the Mexico attack.
The “Pterodactyl” birds are just Frigate birds. I reckon they’ve been in about 5 million David Attenborough docos. 😊
Thanks
Half way through the video I though you should go scare them in the middle of the night lmao
The clients😂 Yeah that could be funny although they had a spear and machetes so it end badly😂
She’s my dream wife omg ❤
12:40 GODDDD DAMNNNNNNNN
b o n k
Hey Mike are u x SASR? Did u learn any survival skills. From old Bob Cooper? Safe travels cherrs kiwi Perth wa
Thanks. I was an Army chopper pilot but also instructed survival with NORFORCE. I didn’t do anything with Bob Cooper.
Love the co-host. Did you love her too?
34:45 ".... I like snails" Never eat snails unless you are 100% sure they are thoroughly cooked and even then they might not be safe.
Can't help but feel like many of these tips are gonna be way more difficult to follow if you don't happen to have a modern knife with you..
Yep. It’s much harder without a knife.
12:42 i like coconuts 👀😂
Hey Mike, I was always taught that with crocs the surface is the kill zone. If you see one, you're never going to outswim them, but your best chance of survival is to dive under and slowly creep to the edge of a pool or billabong and hope like crazy, it hasn't been alerted.
Once you're away from the kill zone (surface) they allegedly don't know how to deal with the situation. A test was done with Nile crocs. And worked ok. Your thoughts mate. Obviously if in doubt, stay out. Cheers for a great episode. Atb from across the ditch.
I’ve heard that but I don’t think it works with Australian saltwater crocs. I know a guy who was taken 5m down on scuba. They’re well adapted predators so it’s hard to imagine it working. Still, it might be worth a try if you have no other option.
@@OutbackMike yeah I have other options mate. . Stay away from Oz waterways in the top end. Atb.
Frigit bird not sure of spelling but😊
why is 12:40 the most vieved moment🤣
Crocodile safety😉
Because just like me, nobody else heard a word that he said the first three times they watched it... "Green something something", I'm still not quite sure to be honest...
@@easyezzington bro 3 months later still remember that clip perfectly🤣

I would like to volunteer as tribute next time Naomi is stranded on an island.
🤣I’m sure there would be a few other volunteers as well.
Hahaha … do I get a say in this?
@@NaomiAllsworth oh my gosh ☺️ I feel giddy. Hi 👋

Kind of an elitism in the commentary here isn't there?
It was a bit touch n go with that friction fire but it wasn an excellent blow job on that 'tricky' tinder bundle, i-moaned in anticipation.😅
Ill escort myself out of the comment section now lol
😂thanks.
Great video, loved you on Alone. Keep pumping out the awesome videos.
Thanks for sharing
