Seven Days Stranded on a Deserted Island: Shelter, Bug Bites, Storms, and a Third Chance for Mack
MrBeast ミスタービースト
In this video, Jimmy (MrBeast) and four companions, Shawn, Chandler, Nolan, and Mack, are dropped on a deserted island and left there for seven days. The boat that brought them was, in Jimmy's words, their only way off. The question is whether the group can build a workable camp and get through a week on limited supplies. The answer turns out to depend less on survival skill than on how they handle bugs, rain, boredom, and each other. Jimmy introduces the island by saying that despite its beauty, civilization has not been able to survive there for over 250 years. When someone asks why they keep doing challenges like this, Jimmy's answer is simply, "I thought it'd be fun."
Day One: A Camp Built Against the Clock
The group arrives with about four hours of daylight left, and Jimmy says their first priority is a shelter. They pick a spot near where they landed and split up. Jimmy, Shawn, and Chandler go looking for wood, and Nolan and Mack stay behind to "prep camp," though neither of them knows what that involves.
While gathering materials, Jimmy warns that the tree above them is "the most dangerous tree on earth," with poisonous sap that he says can literally kill you. The warning comes back later in the video. Meanwhile, Nolan and Mack dig a fire pit. Nolan proudly calls it a pretty good fire, and Mack points out that it isn't a fire yet. Shawn starts building a shelter frame, which earns him the nickname "survival dad." Jimmy, in turn, gets called "mom." The group also notices chickens running wild on the island.
By sundown they have a simple camp: a fire for cooking, a sleeping area, and a survival crate holding food, water, and a flare to signal for help if someone gets hurt. Jimmy says he is already a little sunburned and hopes it doesn't rain. He tosses and turns through the first night, which makes upgrading the shelter the next day's priority.
Day Two: A Rainproof Shelter and a Water Problem
Jimmy sets three goals for day two: build a bigger, rainproof shelter, find more comfortable seats, and make a better fire pit. The plan for the roof is to lay long, sturdy sticks across the top so that rain runs off the back of the shelter instead of pooling in the leaves and tarp. Once it's finished, Jimmy estimates the shelter will be in shade about 90% of the time.
While Jimmy, Chandler, and Shawn work on the shelter, Mack and Nolan go looking for seats. On the beach they find washed-up debris, including an orange ocean buoy they decide works as a "bouncy seat" and a net they think could catch chickens. Jimmy asks whether they stole the buoy, accepts that something washed up on a beach doesn't count as stolen, and claims it for himself. Mack and Nolan also open coconuts with a large knife.
That evening the group bathes in the ocean, which Jimmy explains is the only way to shower because their other water has to go toward cooking and staying hydrated. Mack then points out a problem: they started with ten carts of water and are down to six by day two. Mack says everyone needs to be more responsible with water. Jimmy uses the moment to introduce Mack to viewers as the person who lost money in two earlier videos, about $1.5 million on the channel over the previous two months.
Day Three: Bugs, a Chicken Trap, and a Swim to a Rock
The upgraded shelter didn't help with the next problem. The island turned out to be infested with bugs that bit the group all night, and Jimmy and Chandler got the worst of it. Jimmy calls it probably the most miserable thing he's ever done and shows how many bites are on one hand.
While Jimmy and Chandler catch up on sleep, the others "go rogue." Mack, Nolan, and Shawn use the net from the beach to build a chicken trap. Over about 30 minutes they cut the net into a square, run a rope over a tree branch, and tie it to all four corners so the net can be dropped onto a chicken that comes for the bait. When Jimmy wakes up and learns this is what they've been doing, he says he thought they were doing something productive. He admits the trap looked like a waste of time at first, because they waited about three hours with nothing to show for it. Mack refused to give up, though, and finally caught one. Mack names it Bryan, after a bird from an earlier raft video. Jimmy has Mack release it, and Bryan immediately runs off rather than staying with the group, as Jimmy had predicted it would.
Later, as the heat eases, the group decides on a whim to swim from their island to a rocky outcrop in the ocean. Jimmy admits he has no good answer for why, and calls it a testament to how bored they are. Someone in the group worries they're wasting water and energy. On the way, Mack sees lots of fish and a stingray underwater, and big waves roll toward them. They climb the slippery rocks, enjoy the view, and then have to figure out how to get down. Jumping is the fastest way off, but one member flatly refuses.
That evening a storm appears on the horizon, even though, according to the group, the forecast said it wouldn't rain. They rush to reinforce the hut and protect their gear with as many palm leaves as they can collect. Waiting in the dark, someone says the worst part is not knowing how close the rain is. The storm narrowly misses them, but Jimmy warns that later in the video they "won't be so lucky."
Day Four: Mack as a Human Motorboat
By day four, Jimmy describes the morning routine as waking up, complaining about bad sleep, and eating yet another bagged meal. The group is sick of the bagged food and decides to go fishing.
Their reasoning is that fish won't be in the light blue water near shore, only in the dark blue water much farther out. So Mack acts as a "human motorboat," swimming out while towing Shawn and Nolan, with Shawn assigned to catch the fish. Jimmy says about 500 feet of rope connects them to shore so they can be pulled back if something goes wrong, with Chandler minding the line. Partway out, someone suggests untying the rope because it's dead weight for Mack, and the line ends up coming off. Now they're far from the beach with no rope, a storm is approaching, and Jimmy wonders whether they'll get seasick.
They do catch a fish. Jimmy sums up the effort as two hours of fishing and "200 fishes worth of calories burned" for a single fish. When they cook it, someone says it tastes just like fish from the supermarket.
Dessert is s'mores. Jimmy mentions owning a chocolate company and shows how to make them with Feastables chocolate. As soon as everyone lies down for the night, it starts raining again. Jimmy asks why, in every survival video they make, it only rains when they're trying to sleep. Even so, the group calls day four very successful: one of them caught a chicken and another caught a fish.
Day Five: A Spared Goat, the Ruins, and a Surprise
Jimmy says one reason they picked this island is that it has very old houses or ruins on top of a mountain, and day five is the day they explore them. At breakfast, Mack spots a goat on the shoreline and wants to eat it. Jimmy scares it off, insisting it's their friend. Mack complains that Jimmy has once again chased away their food.
Water is running low. One member stays behind to refill containers with coconut water while the others hike. Shawn also stays at camp, and on the climb up the group can see Shawn below, working on the shelter and cooking dinner. Along the way they see a rainbow, and also a large rain cloud. Someone asks how they'll see on the way back after dark, and they agree to figure it out later.
At the ruins there is a yellow box. One member guesses pizza, and another guesses Jimmy hid extra water because the group was running out. Jimmy says he could have filled the crate with food and water but brought "something even better." It contains pictures of Mack losing $800,000 and then $700,000 in previous videos. Jimmy explains that the point isn't to mock Mack. Because commenters on the last video kept asking to "bring back Mack," Jimmy is giving Mack one final chance in a future video. Mack, delighted with a "third shot," promises not to let everyone down again.
The group explores the ruins. Jimmy says the building is almost a century old and marvels that it was built 100 years ago "just for a bunch of YouTubers to explore it." They point out a cactus growing on top of a structure and a tree wrapped around the stones. Asked whether the trip was worth it, Mack says yes because of the third chance, and Jimmy dismisses that answer as biased. The other two say no, since there was no pizza in the box. Still, at the mountain's peak at sunset, Jimmy tells the others he'll remember the moment forever and says the view made the journey worth it.
The Descent: Lost in the Dark, in the Rain, Under the Poison Tree
The trip down goes badly. In the dark, someone runs into a cactus, and the group hits a dead end in the forest. They can't agree which of several possible paths is right. Chandler says he is only "10% sure" of the chosen direction, and Jimmy asks whether the other direction wouldn't then be 90% likely. Then it starts pouring, and the slope gets slick and steeper than anyone remembers climbing.
Jimmy names a third danger: the death apple tree. He says that when it rains, the tree seeps poison that burns your skin. Their only plan is to avoid letting it drip on them. The trees turn out to be a sign they're near the beach. When they reach sand and see camp, they take the rare chance to scare Shawn, who has dinner and coconut water ready for them.
The Night the Shelter Failed
After eating, showering, and stargazing, Jimmy says something they had feared all challenge finally happened. Water from the storm began pooling on the shelter roof, despite their earlier work to make it rainproof. They worried the weight could bring the structure down. Instead of sleeping, they had to get up and deal with it. Jimmy describes being "destroyed and pummeled by rain all night." After two hours of rain, a damaged shelter, and soaking wet beds, he says no one slept, and he calls rain at night the worst experience you can have in these challenges.
Day Six: Hitting Bottom and Turning It Around
The next morning, someone says they've never been that cold. Nolan says the plan for the day is "absolutely nothing" and that he's sick, tired, and wants to go home. Jimmy says the island has started making them miserable and that after six days of physical struggle their mental health is suffering too. He reports a headache and exhaustion, and says there's only so much bagged food and lying in the sun a person can take before feeling terrible.
To turn things around, they treat themselves to canned peach cobbler for breakfast, which noticeably improves Chandler's mood. Jimmy says it became clear that the way to survive day six was to have fun with each other. They goof around, struggle to carry what Jimmy calls "the heaviest seat in existence," and toast each other. Jimmy reflects that even though they suffered a lot, the trip was full of fun and adventure, and predicts that looking back they won't remember the bad times as much as the good. They spend the last night around a large fire, which turns out to be too big and drives them back from the heat.
Day Seven: Leaving
On day seven, the group breaks down and cleans up camp with "one thing in mind": leaving and never coming back. Jimmy closes by thanking viewers, saying they are the only reason videos like this exist. The second chance promised to Mack at the ruins is left for a future video.
We are now stranded on this deserted island in the middle of the ocean, and we're going to be stranded here for the next seven days. And that boat that just left was our only way out of here.
Why do we keep doing this? I thought it'd be fun.
Despite its beauty, civilization has not been able to survive on this island for over 250 years. But for the next seven days, we're going to try to. And we only have around 4 hours until it gets dark.
It's hot out here. We need to build a shelter immediately. Why don't we just camp here? This spot looks pretty good.
So I say we kick things off by us going and looking for wood. And you two... We'll prep camp. Yes. Have fun with that. Come on, Shawn, come on, Chandler.
How do we prep camp? I don't know.
And so we immediately got to work. But we had to be careful, because above you is the most dangerous tree on earth. It contains poisonous tree sap that can literally kill you.
Why are we still standing here?
And meanwhile, Nolan and Mack were making a fire pit.
I'd say it's a pretty good fire, would you say? Well, it's not a fire yet. Well, I'd say it's a pretty good fireplace.
And Shawn started constructing the frame for a shelter.
Are you sure that's not going to fall on us? Yeah. I feel like Shawn's a survival dad. I've been called worse.
And while gathering some more materials, we came across some wildlife on the island.
Bro, look at these chickens over here. Hey, wait! Stop running away.
We spent the rest of day one preparing our camp, which was pretty simple.
I'm going to show you guys around the camp. This is the fire where we're going to make food. Come over here. And this is where we sleep. That concludes the tour.
We pulled over our survival crate, which contains food, water and, most importantly, a flare in case someone gets hurt. And by the time the sun went down, we had everything figured out.
It's the end of day one. And I'm already starting to get a little sunburned. I'm hoping to get some good sleep tonight. And I hope it doesn't rain. Tomorrow we need to build a bigger shelter. And by we, I mean dad over there is gonna build a bigger shelter.
I got you. I got... Oh. Jimmy, you're like mom, Shawn's dad.
I'm just going to go to bed. I'll see you on day two.
During the first night of sleep, we tossed and turned a lot. And by we, I mean me. So it was a good thing we were fixing this the next day.
The objective for day two is simple. We need to build a bigger and rainproof shelter. We need more comfortable seats because my butt hurts, and we need a better fire pit. My butt also hurts.
We're looking for very long, sturdy sticks we can put across the top of our shelter. That way, when it rains, instead of it drooping in the leaves and tarp, it flows off the back.
And while we were busy gathering resources for our new shelter, Mack and Nolan were busy looking for new seats.
Do you see that? Yeah. What's that orange thing? You could use it as a bouncy seat. Dude, it's a buoy. Oh dude, there's a net. We could use a net to catch chickens. Oh, a lot of bugs, a lot of bugs. A lot of bugs.
Jimmy, we found an ocean buoy. It's like a bouncy seat. Did you steal this? No. Did he steal it? It washed up on a beach. I guess that's not stealing. Oh, that is nice. Okay, I'll take it.
For the rest of the day, Chandler, Shawn and I finished upgrading the shelter.
Keep going. Keep going. There's still sun in here, but it's because the sun's super low. 90% of the time, this will be shade now.
While Mack and Nolan got coconuts.
All right. Be careful, it's a big knife. Coconut.
Day two is coming to an end. How would you say it was? I'm tired, but I'm doing good. Nolan? Fantastic. I think we can all agree we are doing way better than we thought we would.
But little did I know, later that night, things were about to get a whole lot worse. But for now, if you're wondering why we're in the ocean, look at Chandler.
Because it's the only way for us to shower. We need our other water for cooking and not dying of dehydration.
You want to know what I noticed, boys? What's that? We had ten carts of water, and now we're down to six. It's day two. I know.
I'm going to be the adult here and just say it. Everyone needs to be more responsible with their water consumption. I agree. Wait, what are we agreeing to? Shawn, I agreed for you. Okay, perfect. It's also dark, we need to go to bed.
In case you didn't piece it together, that guy Mack is the guy that lost money in this video. And this video. He's basically lost $1.5 million on the channel in the last two months. It's a harsh way to introduce somebody.
Even though we upgraded our shelter, the second night of sleep was worse than the first. We didn't know it, but this island was infested with bugs that ended up biting us all throughout the night. And for whatever reason, Chandler and I got the worst of it.
I got no sleep last night. Probably the most miserable thing I've ever done. Look how many bug bites I have on just my hand alone. Do you see that?
And while we caught up on some much-needed sleep, you can probably guess what the boys are going to do without supervision.
Catch chickens. No, let's catch fish.
So yesterday, over by that debris on the beach, me and Nolan found a bunch of net. Today, the boys are going to help me make a chicken trap. The plan is basically to put a giant net right here tied to a string up there, and then catch a chicken. Let's go.
Now, if I was awake to stop them, this never would have happened. But given the fact that I felt like I was literally dying in this moment, the boys were officially going rogue.
That is a strong net. Is that? There we go.
Over the next 30 minutes or so, the boys cut the net into a perfect square. They then hoisted the rope up over the tree, tied the rope to all four corners, and it was ready.
That works. That's pretty nice.
So after a quick reset and placing some bait, it was time to catch a chicken.
What is this? Trap to catch chickens with. Can I see the rope? No, you cannot. Is that what you guys are doing this whole time? Yeah. Yeah. Thought you were doing something actually productive.
I'll be honest. At first, this seemed like a complete waste of time, because for the next 3 hours, they waited and waited. But for some reason, Mack in particular was not ready to give up. And finally, after even more waiting...
Yeah. Keep it tight, keep it tight. Keep it tight. Mack, what is that? Jimmy, I caught it. Oh, this chick is actually pretty chill. Yeah.
This is the new Bryan in honor of the bird from raft. You know what? With how nice you've been, I'm sure once you put Bryan down, it'll continue to hang out with us.
Put it down. Time to put Bryan down. Bryan, no, Bryan. What did you do to Bryan? I thought he was our friend. Well, I did catch him with a trap, so.
And by the time Bryan had been caught and freed, it had gotten significantly less hot outside, which honestly gave all of us enough energy for a spontaneous adventure.
See that island behind me? We're about to go to it, Mack. Let's do it.
Now I know what you're thinking. Why swim away from a perfectly good island to a rock in the middle of the ocean? And honestly, I don't have a good answer for you.
This feels really counterintuitive. I think this is a testament to just how bored we are. Feels like we're wasting a lot of water and energy.
Mack, what are you doing? Dude, there are so many fish down there. Really? Yeah. There's a stingray, look at all those fish.
Those waves look really big over there. And they're coming right at us. Here comes a big one. Almost there.
Look at the island over there in the background. And here we are. Look at this. We've got water splashing on both sides. These are extra slippery rocks. We are going up now? Oh gosh. Oh, this is crazy. This looks so cool. We did it. I don't know why we did it, but we did.
How do we get off this? And then how do we get back to our island? Well, the fastest way off is jumping. I'm not jumping.
During our last few hours of sunlight... I felt a couple raindrops. We noticed the storm approaching us on the horizon.
We got on the island. The forecast said it wasn't supposed to rain. There's monster clouds over there. We need to prep. Let's go, boys.
Nolan, fix it! Fix the hut. Oh, no. There's rain coming. Protect our stuff. Get as many palm leaves as you can right now. Chandler, more leaves.
And once we ran out of daylight, we huddled up under our new and improved shelter and awaited a night of rain.
The worst part about this is the unknown. It's so dark. You can't even see how close the rain is anymore.
Turns out we got extremely lucky. The storm ended up just missing us by a hair. But what I can say is, later in this video, we won't be so lucky.
What do we do? It's raining. Dude, it's literally pouring, help me hold this up. I just want to go home.
Good morning, everybody. Let me try that again. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. You guys got a case of the Mondays?
After four days on the island, our morning routine consisted of the following. First, we'd wake up and complain about how bad we slept. Sleeping last night was rough. And then eat yet again, a bagged meal.
We're a little tired of our bag meals, so let's just say we've got a solution.
All right, this is as far as I go. Have fun. Oh, good. All this for some fish?
You have to go very, very far out to actually find fish. The fish aren't going to be in this blue water. They're going to be in the dark blue water out there. So... This will be a really good idea, or a really bad one. Probably a bad one.
The plan was a little dangerous, but simple. Mack is going to act as a human motorboat and drag Shawn and Nolan out into the depths of the ocean. And Shawn, being the expert survival dad that he is, is going to catch those fish and bring them back to shore for us to eat.
You guys got the rope? I also brought around 500 feet of rope that they're tied to. So if at any point they need help, we'll just yank them in. Right, Chandler? Yeah.
Is the rope still good? Yeah, you have plenty of rope. Mack, you doing okay? Is Mack literally just pulling them?
We should just untie the rope, Mack, because that's some dead weight. Hope you don't regret it. Now we have no rope, and we're so far away from the beach.
There's no way they're not getting seasick out there. Oh, look at that storm. Is that a storm? Boys, we better hurry. That's rain? That's rain.
Something tells me this rope snapped somewhere. Oh, no. You know what we can do? We can start fishing. I wouldn't start fishing yet, he's in the water. Guys! Your rope came off.
You see any fish down there? I don't see anything. None yet. We have the rope.
Oh, you got something? Yeah. Yeah. We got a fish. Hold on, hold on to it. Yeah. We got him. Fish! Yeah! Fish!
And after 2 hours of fishing and 200 fishes' worth of calories burned, all they had to show for it was one fish.
Is this fine to eat? Yeah, of course. It literally tastes like fish from the supermarket. You know where fish in the supermarket come from, right? Where? The ocean.
And even though this fish from the ocean was surprisingly good, it was time to eat something a whole lot better.
S'mores. S'mores. First off, you need to burn the bacteria off your stick. Oh, I didn't know that, actually. You seem like you've done s'mores before, Jim. Well, as a man who owns a chocolate company.
Oh, Mack. What are you doing? Oh, God. You take the Feastables chocolate, scrunch it like that while it's still hot. Look at that.
Like clockwork, we lay down and go to bed and it starts raining. Why is it that whenever we do survival videos, it literally only rains when we're trying to sleep?
I'd say that was a very successful day four. Yeah. I agree. You caught a chicken. I caught a fish. Here's to three more days of stupidity. Yeah.
I just woke up, I have no idea what day it is. It's day... Five. I was about to say that.
One of the reasons why we picked this island is there's very old houses or ruins, whatever you want to call it, on this island. And even though they're located on top of a mountain, I say today's the day we explore them. I agree. Disagree.
Now that we had all agreed to go to the ruins, we wanted to make sure we didn't start this expedition on an empty stomach. And just as we were eating our bagged breakfast, Nolan noticed something more appetizing down the beach.
Over there on the shoreline. What is it? There's a goat. No way, bro. There's a goat.
Mack, you cannot eat that. You can't stop me. No. Run away, goat. Jimmy! Run away, goat. Get out of here. Yes.
Why would you do that? He's our friend. No, he's not, he's food. Once again, Jimmy scared away my food.
And after sparing another animal from Mack, it was time to adventure to the ruins.
All right, let's do it. We're almost out of water, guys. I need some for the adventure. I'm gonna try to fill these up with coconut water while you're gone. Let's go. Let's do it. Yeah. Keep going. I'll be there in one second.
And what they don't know is I actually have a surprise waiting for us at the top of the ruins. It'll make sense in a little bit.
That was kind of weird, how you just stayed back and talked to the camera. Yeah, kind of like how you lost $1.5 million. Oh, yeah.
Follow me, gang. Jimmy, I believe in you. For a second, I thought this was the mountain. Forgot, we haven't even reached the base of the mountain yet.
Dude, is that a rainbow? Rainbow right there? Oh yeah. That's awesome. I'm not going to be a Debbie Downer, but that's rain right there. That giant cloud? That giant cloud with the rain coming up. You're being a Debbie Downer.
Hey, you can see Shawn from here. Dude, he's building the shelter. Shawn's making us dinner. Shawn! I can see you. He heard us. Keep going. Wave if you're a nerd. Oh, he's waving.
Is it going to be dark when we go back on this path? Yeah. How are we going to see? Oh, we'll figure that out later. That's going to be unfortunate if somebody falls.
Are you good? You good? I'm alive. See that right over there? Boys, come on. Come on over here. Welcome to the ruins.
This is actually sick. Dude, why is there just a yellow box? Yeah, what is this thing? What do you think's in here? Pizza? You knew that we were going to run out of water, so you put extra water in this box.
I know I could have filled this crate with extra water and food, but instead I brought something even better. Mack, does this moment remind you of something? Hold this picture of you losing 800 grand. Now here's a picture of you losing 700 grand.
Bro, why? Why go through all… You'll see it, one second, don't worry.
Now, I didn't do this to make fun of Mack for losing $1.5 million. Really? Because that's exactly what it feels like you're doing. I did this to say that we're going to give you another chance in one final video.
No shot. But this is your final shot. You're going to give me a third shot. Your final shot. I got another shot.
If you look at the last video we did, every single comment was bring back Mack, bring back Mack. I hope you win. That's another shot. More important than your shot, there's some ruins over here. Look at them. Third shot, baby. I'm not going to let you guys down again.
This building is almost a century old. Imagine building this 100 years ago just for a bunch of YouTubers to explore it. This is wicked.
Why is there a cactus up there? Does the cactus just crawl up there? Or does someone put the cactus up there? The cactus does not crawl up there, Jimmy. It doesn't have legs. Oh, my God.
Let's check out on the other side of the crate. There's some more ruins over there. This is crazy. Look how the tree is wrapped around the freaking rocks.
Would the gang say this was worth the effort? Because I got a third chance, yes I would. All right, well, he's biased. Would you two say it was worth it? No. There was no pizza in the box, so no.
By this time, day five's sun was setting on the island. And on our way back to camp, we stopped at the peak of the mountain to take it all in.
There's no one I'd rather scale the side of a random mountain with than you guys. Thank you. Maybe Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. That's fair. But outside of that, nobody.
Boys, I'm going to be honest, I'm going to remember this forever. Me too. I think this view made the journey worth it.
Camp's cleaned up. It's been reinforced from the rain, coconut water, meals ready to go. Got a lot more water. It's getting really dark. You can't even see into the woods right now. I don't know how they're going to make it back from the top of that mountain through all these woods in the dark.
This is way sketchier at night. Cactus. You good? Just a thorn on my side.
But little did we know, running into a cactus in the middle of the night was actually the least of our worries. We ended up hitting a dead end, which is a little intimidating in the middle of a forest.
Which direction is it? Is it this way or that way? Wait, I can see three different things. Dude, there's this right here. And then there's this one right here. This is a path too. Are you sure? Or is that it? It's definitely not to... Follow me. Guys, I will pick a random direction. Wait. No, no. I think it is to the left. Oh, it is? No, it's right over here. Oh, it's raining.
And we must have been extra lucky that night because on top of being lost, it started raining.
Are you sure this is the right one? Jimmy, it's this way. Which way are we...? I told you we should go left. Wait, Chandler! Follow me! Chandler, how sure are you? I'm 10% sure it's this way. So wouldn't 90% be better? Are you 90%? Can we choose? It's pouring on the side of a mountain. Go. It's raining. Okay. Why do we choose it then unchoose?
Oh, boys, this is bad. It is getting slick. I really don't think we came up something this steep. I almost face-planted.
And if we couldn't be any more unlucky, on top of it raining while we're lost, we've even got a third thing to worry about.
Above you is the most dangerous tree on earth. If it rains, it will seep poison that will burn your skin. Watch out for the death apple sap because it just rained. What are we supposed to do? Not let the poison drip on you? Oh, that is 10,000% a death apple tree, boys. That means we're close.
And regardless of if we took the right path or not, we could tell we were getting close to camp.
That's sand. That's some sand. Thank God. We made it? Camp is right there. We have a rare opportunity to scare Shawn. Are we going to take advantage of that? Yes. Of course. Okay.
Oh, God. Oh, my God. You scared me. We made it. Yeah, we're back. I made you guys dinner and coconut water. Oh, I appreciate it. Cheers, boys. Wow, it tastes like a coconut.
After the hike, we ate, we showered, and when we dried off, we took a second to look up at the stars. Because when you're in the middle of the ocean, it really feels like you're on another planet.
But unexpectedly, around the corner was something we've been fearing this entire challenge.
You feel that? Guys, bad news. There's a ton of water on the top of our shelter. I just don't know if that's going to be safe for us to be under it.
Despite our efforts from earlier to make the shelter better, water was beginning to pool up on our roof from the storm.
All this water on top of us, is there a world that could bring our structure down?
And even though all we wanted at this point was a night of sleep, we had to get up and deal with it.
Oh, my God, we're absolutely screwed. I'm just getting destroyed and pummeled by rain all night.
And after two hours of rain, a damaged shelter and soaking wet beds, there was no chance any of us were going to sleep that night.
Raining on you at night, the worst experience you can have on these challenges. I'm so tired. Hopefully it just passes over.
And even though this was an all-time low, our only option was to wait this thing out.
I'm not going to lie. The rain last night was pretty brutal. I don't know that I've ever been that cold, ever.
What do you want to do today, Nolan? I don't know. Absolutely nothing. I just can't wait to get out of here. I'm sick and I'm tired, and I want to go home.
At this point, the island was making us miserable. This is quickly turning into a little bit of a nightmare. And after six days of physical struggle, our mental health was beginning to suffer as well.
There's only so much bagged food you can drink and hours you can lay in the sun before you start to just feel terrible. And I'm starting to feel terrible. I have a headache. I am very tired.
It was clear that we were going to have to take drastic measures if we were going to complete this challenge.
Looking for a peach cobbler. Wanna look for a peach cobbler? Oh, I found one.
So, in an effort to turn things around, we treated ourselves to canned cobbler for breakfast.
Pretty good. How about it? For a can.
And with the help of this unorthodox breakfast, Chandler happy. We were beginning to return back to normal.
Nolan. Dude, you hit straight into the tree.
And it became clear how exactly we were going to survive day six: by having fun with each other.
And I began to realize... even though we've all done a lot of suffering. Why'd we pick the heaviest seat in existence? This whole trip has been filled with a lot of fun. Cheers, boys. And adventure. We did it.
Moments like these are hard to find. And when I look back on this challenge, we probably won't remember the bad times as much as we will the good. It's kind of cool.
And with day six of our challenge finally coming to an end, we're celebrating our final night with a massive fire, but it's kind of burning us all. Yeah, I'm getting back. It's a little too big. When we wake up tomorrow, the challenge will be over.
And as the sun rose on day seven... Go, get me out of here. We broke down camp and cleaned up with one thing in mind: leaving this place and never coming back.
And before we leave, I just want to take the time to say thank you all for watching. All of you are the only reason videos like this exist, and I really hope you all enjoyed it.
