Seven Days in the Arctic: MrBeast's Second Attempt at a Survival Challenge
MrBeast ミスタービースト
The video follows Jimmy (MrBeast) and five friends as they try to survive seven days in the Arctic with only what they carried on their backs. Their previous survival video ended in failure, and Jimmy presents this trip as an "attempt at redemption." The question running through the week is whether the group can stay warm, keep morale up, and find food long enough to reach Day 7. Each day they are also offered an easy way out.
The Setup: No Tents and a Flare Gun
The group starts in snow that one of them estimates is about two feet deep. Jimmy reveals early that he told nobody to bring a tent, because the plan is to dig a shelter into the snow. When someone asks, "We're staying in snow??", the answer is simply "Yep."
Day 1 has two goals: build a shelter and build a fire. The narration stresses the urgency. Nights are so cold that, by the video's account, ten minutes of exposure to the wind could freeze a limb, and the group says it will drop below zero on the first night. The snow fort is meant to block the Arctic wind and to let them share body heat.
The challenge also has an exit. Once a day a plane flies overhead, and anyone who wants to leave can fire a flare and go home. The condition is that they must shave their head first. This rule comes back repeatedly as conditions get worse.
Day 1: A Cramped Cave, Snowmelt Water, and Burning Pants
The others dig while Jimmy collects firewood. He finds dead wood and says he "got really lucky." The digging gets harder as they go down, because the deeper snow is harder. When Hase returns, they test whether everyone fits. It is tight. One person points out they can't extend their legs, and another says he isn't even inside. With two hours of sunlight left, Jimmy admits they will never sleep well like this. Hase's answer is that it may not be comfortable "for these divas," but nobody will die, which he calls the top priority.
Once the fire is lit, they melt snow for drinking water. One of them notices the water stays cold because they keep adding snow to the pot. Then someone gets too close to the fire and their jacket and pants catch fire. Later they confirm the pants are "completely burnt."
By the time they go to bed it is past midnight, and the shelter still isn't big enough. Hase and the cameraman, Darius, don't fit, and one of them says he'll sleep outside.
Day 2: The Worst Night's Sleep and the First Flare Offer
The group calls the first night the worst sleep they've ever had. Their bags are covered in frost, the camera is nearly frozen, one person has no gloves, and someone can't feel their toes. When the plane passes, Jimmy offers the flare and the head shave. Everyone turns it down, though one person complains that "last night SUCKED."
They spend hours expanding the shelter. The target is enough room for all six to sleep side by side in two rows. Jimmy says that if they don't manage it, he'll "go home a bald man."
Then a new problem comes up. Nobody brought the poop tent. It was on the packing list, but the person responsible says there was no room in their bag. Someone is sent to scout a toilet area farther away, because the group believes waste near camp would attract polar bears. The scout mentions they keep seeing animal tracks but never the animals, and they find that unsettling.
The mood on Day 2 is low. One member says they have "thought pretty intensely" about firing the flare. Another says Day 2 feels like Day 6 or 7 of a normal challenge and that they're not sure everyone will make it. Jimmy praises the others for their work on the shelter but points to a bigger problem: they only brought three, maybe four days of food. If they don't start fishing or hunting, he says, they won't survive. One person also thinks their nose might be getting frostbitten because parts of it are turning purple.
Chandler's Toes and a Day With No Plane
That night the temperature drops so much that the shelter doesn't fully protect them. Chandler can barely feel his toes, and the others point out the toes have turned white. Someone says it is probably frostnip and needs to be warmed quickly before it becomes frostbite, so they warm his feet in an armpit.
The next morning Jimmy asks if anyone wants to leave, and someone says they're seriously thinking about it. But the pilot can't fly because of the snow. A member points out that the worst day so far is also the only day they can't evacuate. Jimmy's answer is that the days you're most likely to get hurt are exactly the days the plane can't come.
Day 3: Wet Wood, Feathers, and Ice Too Thick to Drill
Heavy snow overnight has buried the camp. Lighting a fire, normally easy, is now hard because all the wood is wet. One of them uses feathers as tinder. It works and they get a flame, and the person tending it says they have to protect it "with my LIFE."
Jimmy then brings out an auger. A frozen lake lies near camp, and the plan is to drill through the ice and fish. Before leaving, they check on Chandler. The color is coming back to his toes, and Nolan agrees to stay behind as the "doctor."
The fishing trip goes badly. The wind is so strong they can hardly see, and they aim for darker patches of ice hoping it will be thinner there. They drill until the hole is about as deep as an arm, then reach the point where the auger can't turn any further. The ice is thicker than their drill is long. Their clothes are now soaked, and they decide to turn back because of the risk of hypothermia.
Meanwhile at camp, the "kitchen" is completely buried, and the group has lost most of their cooking gear. One of them digs to recover some of it.
Walking back with no food, Jimmy reflects on the last failed survival video and promises that the next challenge won't end the same way. Morale is very low. One person asks to be knocked out and woken up on Day 7. Jimmy warns that their wet clothes are dangerous now: "When that water freezes next to your body… you die." To deal with the cold coming from the ground, they cut spruce limbs for bedding. When Hase arrives with a load of branches, the narration calls it "an early Christmas present." It is the first time they feel they might stay warm through the night.
Day 4: A Drone, Skis, and the Trek to the River
Day 4 starts with sun and better weather. Jimmy declares this will be the day everything goes right. Almost immediately, someone points to a dark band of cloud and says it means a blizzard is coming. On top of that, they will run out of food that day unless they catch fish.
To find better ice, they use Darius's drone to look for a river. Their reasoning is that running water makes the ice thinner, and a big river should hold more fish. They spot a large river, but reaching it means crossing a lake and then a forest.
For the lake they use cross-country skis. Jimmy says he has no idea what he's doing, and he and Darius fall over and over until someone explains the technique as "shuffle, shuffle, glide." After that, Jimmy says it's "weirdly fun." In the forest they switch to snowshoes, which spread their weight so they can walk on top of the snow. Hase identifies large tracks as moose, and the group decides to head in the opposite direction. Jimmy says he has embarrassed himself too many times on the trip to come back without fish.
While the fishing group is away, the others keep enlarging the cave and say they're going to give Jimmy "a mansion." Chandler finds a faster way to work on the ceiling by knocking down huge chunks, and someone begs him not to collapse it.
The Plane Returns and the Flare Almost Goes Up
Back at camp, the plane appears while the fishing group is gone. The campers seriously discuss firing the flare. One says they had a finger on the trigger and almost did it. Another argues they could all leave together and let Jimmy come back to find their hair on the ground. Nobody fires it. At the river, Jimmy says he hopes none of the boys is "balding in that plane right now," but admits the camp is too far away for him to know.
At the river the ice isn't much thinner. The hole reaches arm-depth without hitting water, and one member says that "science said this is a river," so it should be thinner, but it isn't so far. Jimmy's boot fills with snow after a fall, and his toes start turning purple, so he puts his foot in Darius's armpit to warm it. After about three hours in the cold, Jimmy decides they have to go back, because otherwise "someone could get very hurt," and says it's time to accept that "we failed again."
When they get back, they report digging about six feet deep over four hours before the sun began to set, with no fish. One camp member says they should have fired the flare. It is Day 4 and the food is gone. To lift the mood, the camp crew shows off the bigger cave, which now has room for everyone to sleep evenly spaced without bumping into each other.
Day 5: Last Meal, Blizzard, and an Emergency Plan
On Day 5 they eat their last meal plus a few snacks they brought. After that they say they are basically out of food. A blizzard has arrived, no plane is coming, and Jimmy says, "There is no rescue. We are on our own."
The fishing group's plan is to go back to the river hole. Jimmy warns the others that when they return, they should assume someone will have hypothermia. The camp crew needs hot water and an emergency station ready. Privately, Jimmy says he knows his friends: if they don't get fish, they will all fire the flare the next day. He brings up the previous video again, saying they "got close to the island" but didn't make it, and he doesn't want to fail another one. Because of the blizzard they leave the skis behind to carry less, knowing the trip will take longer. The snow has also erased their trail from the day before.
At camp, the people left behind face their own problem: how to start a fire with soaked wood when "anybody that knows what to do, just left." Chandler suggests breaking open a dead tree because the inside should be dry. After a long struggle they split it, shave the dry wood into tinder, and get a fire going in time for the fishing group's return.
The Breakthrough at the River
At the river, the auger is still stuck in the ice where they left it, and someone compares it to Excalibur. They widen the old hole so the auger can go deeper. Meanwhile one member suggests checking where the rivers meet, guessing the water there might churn more and keep the ice thinner. That turns out to be right. They break through in a spot they estimate at about eight inches thick.
Then they wait, using frozen food as bait. Jimmy, cold and losing hope, speaks to the camera. He worries that without calories they'll get dangerously cold and might have to end the challenge if the snow gets worse. He says he doesn't want to fail back-to-back challenges, that "that's not who I am," and that he'll sit there as long as it takes. A fish bites during this monologue, which one member immediately points out. Jimmy tries to grab it by hand at the hole, but it catches on the lip and gets away. Someone reassures him that where there's one fish, there are more.
Soon after, Jimmy hooks another and brings it up carefully through the hole. They have their first fish. A second one follows on a line someone works with Hase. The narration says it took seven hours of fishing to catch the two. One member mentions it's been hours since they drank water and they have a headache.
When they reach camp, the fire is burning and the water is ready. They cook the first fish right away and keep the second for Day 6. One person says they've never had fish this fresh. The group agrees it was delicious.
Day 6: A Day Off and Jimmy's Reflections
Jimmy announces something fun for the next day. When the plane arrives, he jokes that he's going to fire the flare because he's "worried… about how much FUN we're gonna have today." Day 6 is spent sledding and playing in the snow. One member says they almost left before the fish were caught, and calls this the hardest challenge they've done. Another teases them about the time, seven years earlier, when they tried to make them eat pickles. After a sledding run, the first person revises it to "the second hardest."
Jimmy also reflects on the bigger picture. They've been making survival videos like this for almost a decade, and he says those videos include some of the lowest points of his life and also some of the highest. Sitting in the cave telling jokes, cut off from society, is in his words some of the most fun he has filming any video. He credits his friends for making a video that "in theory, should suck horribly" full of great moments. He also thanks viewers, saying that as a kid he dreamed of living the life he lives now. Someone gives Day 6 "a ten out of ten." Hase brings out s'mores he had saved for the last night, and the group celebrates with chocolate.
Day 7: Cleanup and the Surprise
Before bed, Jimmy says they won't be leaving by helicopter. On Day 7 he jokes that they have another week. He then explains that nobody can leave until every piece of trash is cleaned up. Once the camp is packed, the flare is fired. This time it isn't a surrender. It signals the surprise: a team of sled dogs to take them out of the Arctic.
The video ends with the group completing the seven days. In Jimmy's telling, this makes up for the earlier failure: the trip nearly fell apart over thick ice, wet wood, and empty food bags, and was saved at the end by two fish and a fire built from the inside of a dead tree.
We are now stranded in the Arctic for the next seven days! All we have to survive out here is what is currently on our backs.
I'm goin' down! We're on two feet of snow right now. We need to get building a shelter 'cuz it gets really cold tonight.
Hey, where we goin'?! Follow me.
And the cold is only the beginning.
Everything is wrong. Nothing's going right! You're gonna get hypothermia. My toes are starting to turn a little purple. We need a miracle right now!
We failed our last survival video. So this is me and my five friends' attempt at redemption. I told none of the boys to bring tents because…
What's he doin'? What's that? This is gonna be our home. We're staying in snow? Yep.
Today we have two objectives. Create a shelter and build a fire.
Go deeper, guys. Are you backseat shovelin' right now? We're gettin' more shovels.
Because as soon as the sun sets here in the Arctic… Guys, if we don't get inside before it gets dark, we might freeze to death. No pressure. It becomes so freezing cold at night that exposure to wind for ten minutes could cause a limb to literally freeze.
I gotta move fast and get firewood. The deeper we go, the harder the snow gets. The guys are just goin' at that snow fort.
We're making a snow fort not only to protect us from the Arctic wind, but also to share our warmth.
Oh my goodness, guys! It's gonna get below zero tonight. We really need this or we could actually lose some of our fingers to frostbite.
I need to make progress way faster. It's all dead. I got really lucky. We got firewood, baby!
Guys, Hase is here. Now that Hase is back, let's see if we can all fit in our fort.
It looks a little tight in there. We have a place to sleep tonight! And it's really comfortable… If we can't extend our legs, yes. I'm not even in here.
We have two hours left of sunlight, and we're never gonna sleep well like this. It might not be comfortable for these divas, but we're at least not gonna die. Which is the number one priority, that no one dies in this video.
And so we continued racing nightfall to increase the size of our somewhat habitable shelter while attempting to build a fire.
There he goes! I can thaw out my gloves now.
Now that we have a fire going, you know what that means? Hold this. What are we cookin'? What are you doin'? Now go put that on the fire, and we have drinking water.
It's a big celebration moment, but the sun is literally setting. Yeah, it is. Is the house done? No. Nowhere near done, bro. Right now, I think two to three can fit comfortably.
Let's see how the water tastes. Give us a test. You would think the water's hot, but because we keep adding snow, it's staying cold.
Careful. My jacket's on fire! Your pants! They're completely burnt! Wait, my pants were actually on fire.
It's past midnight, so technically, it's Day 2, and I know everyone wants to go to bed, but the house still isn't big enough. Hase doesn't fit in it, and neither does our cameraman, Darius. I'm gonna sleep outside…
On Day 1, we successfully built a fire and packed into our small and uncomfortable cave like sardines. But man, that was the worst sleep we've ever had.
Bro, the camera's literally… The camera's almost frozen. That was some bad sleep. It was so cold last night. There's frost all over our bags and everything. This camera is freezing my hand off.
Here. Dude, I don't have gloves, bro. I don't have gloves. It's too cold to hold. Oh, my gosh… Dude, my feet are freezing. I can't feel my toes.
Everyone, look! See that plane?! Look right there, boys! Bro, it hasn't been seven days, what are we doin'?
Once a day that plane's gonna fly over top. And if any of you wanna shoot the flare and leave, you can. You just have to shave your head before you do.
You're telling me I can shoot this flare right now and I can go home. After we shave your head. Now's your time! Do you wanna leave? Last night sucked, bro. No leavin'? All right! See ya tomorrow! Everyone's keeping their hair for today.
It was clear that in order to survive seven days here in the Arctic… If I have another night like last night, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to make it. We would have to expand our shelter.
Darius, why are you filming? You should come help. I'm just doin' what I was told.
There's six of us. The goal for tonight is to have us be able to sleep side by side this way and side by side over here. And if we don't… I'm gonna go home a bald man.
It looks amazing! Holy crap!
We carved away at our shelter for hours, but the realization started to hit.
What was your plan on pooping? I thought there was gonna be a poop tent. But you didn't bring one? It was on the packing list. Who didn't pack it? Well, I didn't have room in my bag. How are we pooping? We're not! Everything is wrong! Nothing's going right!
They sent me to scout a poop area. Yeah, if we poop near camp, it would obviously attract polar bears. The creepiest thing about this whole thing is, I always see animal tracks, but I never see the animal. Which makes me think that the animal is always watching me and I don't like that.
Not many good things weighing on my mind right now… I have thought pretty intensely about shooting the flare gun. We'll see.
I cannot believe this is just Day 2. It feels like a Day 6 or 7 of a typical challenge. This is one that I'm not sure if we're all gonna get through.
The boys have been working their butts off down there, and I just wanna say I'm very proud of them.
I really hope we can all get a good night's sleep inside the house, because the problem we haven't addressed yet is that we only brought three, maybe four days worth of food. And if we don't start fishing and hunting, we're not gonna survive.
It's not even Day 3, and I think my nose might be getting frostbitten. It's starting to turn purple in certain points. So this is gonna be an interesting video.
As darkness set in, the temperature drop was so severe that not even our shelter could protect us from the danger of frostbite.
I can't feel my toes. Can you feel my touch? Barely. Oh, your feet are cold. Uh-oh. See how white they are? He has no color in them. Oh, that is not good. No, stick it in my armpit. My big toe is never that flat on the top.
Chandler's got white toes. Probably frostnip, so got to get them warmed up quick before it turns into frostbite.
Unfortunately for Chandler, Mother Nature had another surprise waiting for us.
Anyone wanna shave their head and leave? I'm really thinking about it. Well, too bad! Because the pilot just said that it's too snowy. He can't fly. Yeah, hang in there and play it safe today, guys.
So, you're telling me the worst day of the challenge so far is the only day so far that we can't evacuate? What I'm telling you is the days where you're most likely to get hurt are the days the plane can't come.
Oh, man. Dude, how much did it snow last night?! The weather has definitely changed. Lookin' kind of nasty. So, that used to be our camp! Woo! It is freezing today.
Our main priority was getting warm with a fire. Come on! This is normally not hard. But overnight snow made for a new problem. It's wet. All of the wood is wet. This is bad.
I've got an idea. Oh, he got the feathers. Oh, no! Here we go. Oh! There we go! The feather master.
Without this fire, this day cannot go on. Oh, there we go. We got a spark. The feathers work! I gotta protect it with my life. Come on, please! Please work. Woo! Warmth! We got fire! Yes!
We're focused on warmth right now, but we actually need to be focused on getting some food or something. I brought one thing that might help. It's an auger.
Fun fact! Near our camp is a frozen ice sheet over a lake. So, we're gonna use this auger to drill a hole and try to catch some fish. But before we head out, we have to see how Chandler's doing.
It looks better. The color is coming back. Me and Hase need to go get food. So, who's gonna take over doctor duty while we're gone? I can make sure he's okay. Thanks, Nolan, for doing this. You're welcome, buddy.
Let's go see if we can catch some fish! Good luck! Later, boys. Hey, Nolan! Take care of Chandler. We'll work on the shelter. Guys! Be safe. Don't die on us.
Let's aim for one of those dark spots over there. Okay. Maybe the ice will be thinner. Ooh! It's cold! It's so windy! Well, the walk back with the wind in our face is gonna suck.
All right, right there. Right here. Wait, get a shot of this, Darius. This shows—I'm not joking when I say we are literally camping on ice. Are we gonna fall through? No way! It's super thick. It's too cold.
Can I try it? Yeah! So, the idea is not to push hard down. Let the blades cut. Hey, Tareq, come over here. I can't see! It's too windy!
How thick is this ice? Hopefully, not that thick! We're about to find out, though. This is brutal! Come on! Keep on goin'! All right.
Should we see how deep we went? Yeah, let's do it. Oh, dude! Whoa! We've made some progress! Dude! Look at that! We're cooking! Aw, my eyes!
The weather out here is worse than we ever could've imagined.
Well, our situation just went from bad to worse. Our entire kitchen has been completely covered in snow. And we lost most of our gear for making food. I'm gonna see if I can get some back.
Yeah, it's snowing pretty bad out there now. The other guys are fishing. Hopefully, they give us something to eat tonight.
What do you guys think, two and a half feet now? Three? It's about half a Tareq, so two and a half feet. Oh. Okay.
We really gotta get this fish because if not, Day 5 and 6, the boys aren't gonna be very happy. Look how deep this is. Here's my arm. Oh, my God. We got about an inch left to hit water, or this thing won't be able to turn anymore.
Come on. Come on. Almost there! Come on! Cross your fingers. I'm hungry! I'm starving!
No, no, no, no! No! We physically can't drill any lower. Our drill is not big enough. This is how thick the ice is.
So, you're telling me we can't get fish? Maybe not here.
With the realization that the ice is too thick, and since we're risking hypothermia because our clothes are soaking wet, we had to head back.
Not coming back with food really got me thinking. Thinking about our last survival video when we actually failed.
You have my word: our next challenge video, I'm not failing again. I'm not failing again. I'm not failing again. I'm not failing again. I'm not failing again. I'm not failing again. I'm not failing again.
Hey, boys! You catch anything? No. I feel so defeated right now. Yeah. So far, today's been terrible. Morale overall is really low. Can someone just knock me out and wake me up on Day 7?
Isn't it crazy? It's only Day 3. Four more days. Yeah, and everything, including my hands, are soaking wet.
Including my hands, are soaking wet, and it's going to get really cold tonight. Yeah. It's a very bad thing. When that water freezes next to your body… you die!
Okay, so we are soaking wet all the way through our clothes. Tonight it's gonna get really cold. One of us is gonna get hypothermia unless we do something right now.
See that spruce up there? We're gonna go get the limbs off of it to give us a bedding, to give us a little more insulation so we can sleep. It's really cold at night, and most of that is from touching the ground. These are perfect. This is good stuff for bedding.
Hey, Hase is here. Hase! Who needs some? I will take it. I got a lot more, guys.
When Hase showed up with those branches, it felt like an early Christmas present. We finally had hope of staying warm throughout the night.
Oh, this is a lifesaver, guys. Thank you. We're good. Everyone's good! That's all that matters. Dude, I'mma sleep good tonight.
Oh, man. And it's gorgeous! Thank the Lord that the weather is much better today. Oh, wow! The sun feels so good. Today is the day that everything finally goes right.
Looks like some weather comin' in. What? What? Weather! See the dark right there? That means blizzard. Blizzard?! Blizzard. We gotta get cruisin'.
And to top it all off, we're gonna run out of food today if we don't catch fish. We ain't got many meals left. Yeah, just hold up. Oh, no.
To help us to find a better spot to fish today, we're making use of Darius's drone. Press up on the left stick. Okay! We're gonna go look for ice that has moving water under it. Running water causes the ice sheet to be thinner.
Okay, yeah, that's definitely a river. You see the little bend right there? That's a big river. Big river means more fish.
Guys, that's pretty far. Cross a lake. Cross a forest. To get to the river. Can you all walk that far? Yup! Yep! Yup! And then catch fish and drag 'em back. So, we should start our journey soon.
Don't worry, guys… I got a secret weapon. Jimmy, do you know how to ski? Nope! I have no idea what I'm doing. Yeah, it looks like it.
We brought cross-country skis to make the trek over the lake easier. Well… maybe not for me and Darius. Hey! I hate this!
So, it's like—shuffle, shuffle, glide. So, you're saying, shuffle— Shuffle, shuffle, glide. Looking good. This is weirdly fun. Let's go catch some fish!
Come on, fellas! We got this! Nice work, fellas. I'm proud of you guys. Hey, Darius? Yeah? Do you mind not falling so much? Let's get these skis bundled up.
To get through the forest, we're changing into our snowshoes, which have increased surface area, so we can walk on top of the snow. According to the drone, the river's this way. Let's try to stay in the shallow snow.
So, if you look at the— Oh, my gosh. What were you in the middle of saying? Perfect timing. What—what snow?
Look at all these animal tracks everywhere. Oh, yeah. These footsteps going in the woods are not us. What's that, Hase? Moose. Bro, moose have feet that big? How tall are they? They're massive. Based on these footprints, oh, my gosh! All right, well… I say we go that way where the moose is not.
These fish better be jumping out of the hole that we drill. I embarrassed myself too many times to not come back with fish.
Chandler! Ope! Yeah? Dang, pull your pants up. I'm sweatin'! Jimmy said to make this place bigger. We're gonna give him a mansion.
This is cold. We're tired. Getting beat up. No! Here, in this dense part. We just gotta get through it. I know the river's over there. Almost there, guys! Keep it up! How close are you to crashing out? I'm there.
Guys, I see the river! No way! Oh, my gosh! How gorgeous is that?! This is crazy! All right, let's get to fishin'!
My leg is actually stuck in a hole. I got you, buddy. The branch is the only thing stopping me from falling. I wonder how the boys are doing back at camp. They better be doing something.
Holy! Hey! Come on! Yo… is that too big of a chunk? Well, Chandler figured out a new method for the ceiling. Dude, that was nice! That is the biggest chunk in the world.
Guys… I know you found a new strat. Uh-huh. But please do not cave the ceiling in. That is a massive chunk. We don't know what we're doin'.
I guess… right here? Right here! Okay! That entire journey you just saw was under the assumption that this ice is thinner. Let's see how screwed we are!
Let's go, Jimmy. Let's go! Let's go, Jimmy! Let's go! Let's go, Jimmy— What are you, my cheerleader? 'Cause I kinda like it.
Bro, if you got that much energy— No—come! Come use this. Too much energy. All right, sub in. Yeah, we in here!
We're gonna get some fish. The boys are gonna eat good tonight, tomorrow night, the night after. We're eating good the rest of the video. I don't know, I'm just saying this to psych myself up 'cause I'm worried we wasted all this time and energy and calories and… I'm tired.
Guys, the plane is here! Plane's here! Where's the flare? We built the shelter. Did a lot. We could just hit this. We can easily shoot this and go home. Is it—is it loaded? Hey! That's the plane! Howdy! I mean…
That does look a little tempting right now.
I had finger on the trigger, bro. I almost did it. Dude, I want to really badly. Bro, we could always— Dude, let's just do it. We can end this suffering right now. Let's just— We could all leave. Jimmy will just have to come back with our hair on the ground.
I hope one of the boys aren't balding in that plane right now. I'mma be honest, camp's really far that way. I'd have no idea if they shot the flare.
Watch your eyes.
Our hole's as deep as my arm, and we still haven't hit water yet. We might run into the same issue we did yesterday. Science said this is a river, so it should be thinner. As of right now, it's not looking much thinner.
Bro, my shoes are soaked. When I fell by the river, my boot filled up with snow. And now I'm freezing.
Yeah, take your socks off and wring 'em out. Yeah, they're red. Can you put my foot in your armpit real quick? Yeah.
My toes were starting to turn a little purple. So I put 'em in Darius's armpit to heat 'em up. Thank you, Darius!
Hey, man, this is the last place I ever thought I'd find your foot.
You know what I would love? If there was a fire goin' and a hot cocoa when we get in. Yeah, I don't know if you know who we're talking about here.
After three hours in the cold… Hase, buddy! I knew we had to head back. If we don't head back, unironically, someone could get very hurt. I think it's time to accept the fact that we failed again.
Agh! The clouds are lookin' like they're about to storm. Look at this. We're in the middle of nowhere. We gotta start heading back to camp. I hope the boys had better luck than us today.
I can't help but to imagine the look on Nolan's and Chandler's faces when we come back with nothing to eat tonight.
How was it? You guys okay? We dug six feet deep. Four grueling hours. And the sun started to go down.
So, you're telling me there's no fish? I'm telling ya, we're gonna go back tomorrow and then dig till we get fish. I'm gonna go lay down.
I should've shot the flare. We don't have food now. Day 4, no food.
Let's all calm down for a second. I know the morale is low. We ain't got no fish. Let's go boost that morale by looking at the cave.
Whoa! You see that? This is crazy! Bro, that corner is so much bigger.
The goal is nobody wakes anybody up tonight. Thank you. We're all evenly spaced apart in a way that we will not bump each other.
Today was super tough. I need a win, man. It has been just bam, bam, bam! Today was a trek.
I wanna say thank you for expanding the fort. I have lots of space between me and Nolan now. We will not be bumping each other. I'm gonna get some sleep because I guess I gotta do that all over again tomorrow. Lovely.
It's Day 5 and we're down to our last meal. But we did bring a few snacks for this type of situation, like our MrBeast Jack Link's Beef Sticks. And with six grams of protein, it's perfect to give us a boost of energy for the day.
Darius, you can have mine, buddy. Yeah?!
And if we weren't in the frozen Arctic, we'd head over to Walmart where you can now grab some for yourself. But unfortunately, after these beef sticks, we're basically out of food. And we got a blizzard.
There's no airplane coming. There is no rescue. We are on our own. We need to fish. But unfortunately, the snow is wet. We go out, get soaking wet. Even if we're catching fish, it just becomes extremely dangerous.
We're gonna be going all the way back to that fishing hole to catch fish. And we have to assume that when we come back, somebody's gonna have hypothermia. What?! That means you guys have to have hot water ready to go. Basically, an emergency station ready. It's very dangerous. All right, let's go!
All jokes aside, I know the boys. And if we don't get this fish, they're all gonna flare out tomorrow. And we failed the last video. We got close to the island, didn't make it. I don't wanna fail another video, so we're gonna go get a fish.
Yeah, we are. What are we about to do? Catch a fish. Catch a fish! Say it like you mean it. What are we about to do?! Catch a fish! Catch a fish! Let's go get a fish! Let's go! Yeah!
See ya later, boys! Be safe!
Dude, how are we supposed to get a fire started?
Because there's a blizzard, we decided not to ski, so we have less gear to carry. But that means the trek will take longer. Let's see if it ends up workin' out.
Our path that we tracked over to the river is completely destroyed by all this snow. We got it. Don't worry. We just need to walk that way for a very long time.
So, how does one start a fire? That's for us to figure out. The firewood is soaking wet. Wet wood doesn't really light on fire? They need warm water when we come back and we can't— How are we—? Anybody that knows what to do just left. Boys, we got a lot of figuring out to do.
That's one third. One third down. So, where's our trail? Our trail is totally gone. Oh, here it is. I see it. Yeah.
This is the part where I got stuck yesterday. Ugh! Jimmy, you good?! I'm good. And I failed again today. Come on, boys! All right, let's get it. We're gonna catch fish today! Woo!
We're gonna use this dead tree that we found 'cuz it's dry on the inside. Wait, what are we trying to get, Chandler? Some dry tinder.
Crack. Bang. Bong. Grrr! Snap! Snap! Come on! Crush! There we go!
Hey! It's open! We did it! All right, let's get inside.
Now that we got the dry wood, we're gonna try to shave it down so we can get stuff to start the fire. This is the only dry stuff we have.
There she is! Oh, man. Whew! Here we go. Here, fishy, fishy, fishy!
We're coming for you, fish! Is that the auger? That's the tree I left. It's like Excalibur, huh?
All right. Oh, crap. It might be frozen.
Woo-hoo! All right. Our hole's still here. Let's get back to work!
So we need to start off by expanding the sides so the auger can actually go deeper.
While you ice pick, I might see if I can find a place that's thinner. I'm thinking, where the rivers meet, maybe the water churns more. It gets a little thinner. Hoping!
Right now we kinda need a miracle. We need to catch some fish. Eating is heating. You don't eat, you get cold. You get cold, you get hypothermia, and then we're done.
I just need one win— Jimmy! What? We're through! Really? It's like eight inches here!
Lemme see it. I need to see it with my own eyes. Oh, hell yeah!
We got our first of hopefully many fishing holes. We got some frozen food as bait. Let's see if any fish bite! It's best if we have multiple holes to fish from. We've worked too hard not to get some fish.
And now we wait, 'cuz even though we're in the right spot, could take an hour. Could take an hour.
I want a fish.
Any nibbles, Darius? No.
Guys, I'll be honest, guys. I'm really cold right now. Starting to lose faith that a fish might ever even bite this hook.
And I'm worried that if we don't catch a fish right now, due to lack of calories, we'll get very cold tonight, tomorrow. And honestly, we might have to call the challenge if the snow picks up, which… I don't know. I don't know!
I just really don't want to fail back to back challenges. That's not who I am. I really just don't like failing. So I'm gonna sit here as long as it takes, and I'm gonna catch a fish 'cuz I wanna succeed for you guys.
Oh, wait, something bit? Whoa, that's crazy! They're gonna think that's fake! That's weird.
You got a fish on! You got a fish on! We got a fish? Jimmy, you got a fish! Bro. You one hundred percent got a fish, Jimmy! You caught it during your monologue, Jimmy!
No way! No! Jimmy! No! No! He's right there! Get it, get it! I got it with my hand! Get it! No, you're kidding me! No, did you just lose it?
No, it's… Oh, no. No. No. No.
I had it in my hand. It caught on the lip. Yeah, it was coming up sideways. Yeah. Okay. Keep fishing, keep fishing.
Okay, the way these fish work is if you get one, there's a lot of them. You gotta get back in the water. If there's one, there's more. This is— We're going to catch a fish, Jimmy. I swear to God, we are not failing again.
Oh, no. This is bad. That's okay. I got extra gloves. Oh, yeah. It's okay, it's okay. You fish, you fish, you fish. Everybody fish.
I'm sorry, man. It's all good. It happens. I was so close to sticking my hand in as well. No, it's just like— I can't— I've never done that before. I've never bare handed a fish.
Jimmy, don't move. You got it. You got it. Yeah? Okay, Jimmy. Very nice and easy. Nice and easy and up through the hole.
We got one! Yeah, Jimmy! Woo-hoo-hoo! We got one! Oh, my goodness! That… We got a fish! I almost dropped it in the hole!
All right, all right. We gotta get back fishing 'cuz where there's one there's more. All right. Let's put this on the bench.
I really hope Jimmy and the guys are safe. We're trying to get it all ready before they get here, 'cuz hopefully they caught a fish. Are you ready to make them a fire, Chandler? Almost!
Keep goin', keep goin'. Keep goin'! It's on fire! We got fire! All right! We got a little fire goin', now we just gotta make it big. We just got to keep feeding this.
Hase, we got a nibble! Keep the tension! Pull slowly. Keep the tension! Keep pulling. Keep pulling! We got something. We got something! Pull it out!
Yeah! Woo! Jimmy! Another one! Oh, my gosh! Woo! We eating good tonight! Yes!
It's been hours since I drank water. I got a headache. I don't know what's really going on, but I caught some fish.
After seven hours of fishing, we caught two fish! Let's go celebrate with the boys! Woo! Let's go!
Ready for insertion of snow. Hase is gonna be so proud of us! He's gonna get back here and he gonna be like, "I don't gotta do that?" We got the fire going. We got the water ready. All we need is a fish!
Light a fire! Is that a fish I see? We got everything going! Yeah!
Boys, I know what you're wondering. Hase, grab the blue bag. This better not be a prank! Boys! We eatin' tonight! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Let's go! Victory! Woo!
All right. Fish number one is cooking. Yes! Wow! Hey! Good job. Good job.
All right. We got a cooked fish! Who's hungry, boys? Me! Me! Let's eat up!
Hey, don't worry, we have a second fish to get us through all of Day 6.
Oh, yeah. Oh, mate! I don't think I've ever had fish this fresh before 'cuz this tastes delicious.
Can you guys believe that we're just eating fish out here in the middle of the Arctic? Oh, I'm believing it and I'm livin' it. I'm livin' it and believing it. Seein' it. Dreamin' it. All the above.
Gentlemen, what'd you think of our fish? It was delicious.
It was delicious. Tasted amazing! So good.
Tomorrow, I have something very fun planned for the gang. Before I tell you, Chandler, can you say, "Cue the time lapse"?
Cue the— Cue the— Cue the ti—
No, they'll cut you off at post, you just say the whole thing. Cue the time—
Hey, guys! The plane's here!
Not to alarm anyone, but I think I'm gonna shoot the flare. Whoa! 'Cause I'm worried about how much fun we're gonna have today! Woo! Woo!
After five grueling days, I think the boys deserve a little fun. And if they make it to day seven, I've got a surprise for them.
I'm glad we caught the fish 'cause I almost left without the fish, to be honest. This was the hardest challenge that I've done.
Harder than that time we tried to make you eat pickles seven years ago?
Here we go— Oh, it's in there! It's in there! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Smooth.
This is the second hardest challenge I've ever done.
Really?!
We've been doing survival videos like this for almost a decade now.
I'm going to sit underwater 24 hours straight.
They have some of the lowest points in my life.
What are we doing?! I feel like I'm gonna puke.
Like a couple days ago during the blizzard.
This just keeps getting worse, guys.
But also some of the highest moments of my life.
That boat actually floats! Yeah! Yeah!
We're in the cave cracking jokes with the boys, disconnected from society. It's some of the most fun I have filming any videos. I just wanted to give a shout out to those guys, because they're the reason why a video like this that, in theory, should suck horribly, has a lot of really great moments, and I'm just very grateful for them.
It probably goes without saying, but I'm obviously very grateful for you guys as well. When I was a little kid, I used to dream of living a life I'm living now.
Hi, me in ten years! Hopefully, you still do YouTube.
And so, just thank you so much! I'm gonna go throw a snowball at them!
Tareq! Push me! Whoa!
Go, Jimmy! Oh, God! Oh, God! Woo!
All right. Now, I'm soaking wet. Day six is a ten out of ten.
I've been holding on to these s'mores for the last night. And now it's time. Boys!
What? I got a present! Oh, that looks good! I call this one. Yo, Nolan, hook a boy up.
Cheers, boys! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
Great way to end it off with the best tasting chocolate on the planet. Woo!
Hase is this GOAT.
Bedtime. I'll see you guys in the morning for the surprise. Let's just say we're not leaving on a helicopter tomorrow.
What?! We are leaving, though, right? Depends. You'll see.
It's day seven! Yes! Yes! Get us outta here!
And now, the twist of the video. We have another week here!
Stop it. I'm leaving. What's the surprise? When we get out of this cave and pack up, I'll show you. Let's do that now.
But we're not allowed to leave until we clean up every speck of trash.
Okay. Cue the time lapse! Tareq don't got time lapse power. Cue the time lapse!
Yeah! Woo! Yeah! All right! Let's go home!
Bring in the surprise! That flare just signaled the secret, which isn't the helicopter. It's a pack of Arctic dogs.
Oh, sweet! Oh, that looks so beautiful! That's a lot of dogs! Oh, my God, I'm so ready to go home.
Doggos! What's up, dawg?! Yes! Hi, doggos! That's my ride! Take me home, baby!
And that's seven days in the Arctic! We're headed out! I can't wait to take a warm shower!
Hey, if you guys enjoyed this video, make sure you subscribe. Thanks for sticking around.
This is crazy! That's how you end a video!
