I'm Bear Grylls,
I served in the British Special Forces.
I've been to the top of Mount Everest
And crossed the oceans frozen Arctic.
Now my challenge is to be abandoned near an island in the Pacific Ocean.
Every year thousands of people have problems in this sea.
I'll show you what you need to know to survive here.
Deadliest Catch
I'm flying over the Pacific Ocean
165 million square kilometers of ocean water
over 30 thousand islands, with Most of them are uninhabited
It may seem like a paradise, but can be deadly
huge waves, currents unexpected, many sharks
make this one of the ocean most dangerous on earth
if you are in the water, will need to know how to survive.
I'll be in the same situation anyone who has had this problem
ocean without a life jacket.
All I have is a knife, the clothes the body and the crew
My mission is to get one of these islands and from there go to a safe place.
The wind seems to be taking me in right direction to that island
are some 3 km from there, but what My concern here are the currents
and if they will let me reach the island or not ...
recently succeeded in 3 children survive after their parents died
when their boat capsized.
after spending 6 days clinging to the hull of the boat,
they then were forced to swim 8 km in waters full of sharks to
a desert island.
They survived for a week drinking rainwater and eating blackberries
before being rescued ...
if you are at sea for kilometers of land the secret is to save energy
this is to swim long distances, is best swimming side and conserve energy
for rebenta??es around the island.
the Pacific islands are known for its strong surf
and this will be an immediate problem, how to get ashore.
Waves and currents are so strong it is difficult to get to the rocks ...
This powerful undertow is created by waves hitting the rocks.
150 swimmers drowned in the surf North American waterways each year,
because they panic and try to swim against the current
and quickly become exhausted.
The best technique is to swim parallel to the coast, until you no longer feel the
current pull it.
Then you come to the beach.
Swim breast keeping the head out of the water and look for the best
access point.
I finally succeeded,
But I need water, me and shelter.
But first I need to explore the island to see what resources it has.
But this part of the island is surrounded by cliffs.
I am a climber, but there basic techniques you can use.
First, find the best route with more places with support for hands and feet
use your hands to guide, and their legs to push.
Inexperienced climbers tire fast, they try to go only with the arms.
Sound like paradise ...
but even in paradise, you do not survive without food and water.
this point of observation I can see a beach,
seems to be sheltered from the wind and I I can see palm trees and can have food.
So that's where I go.
But not a ground like this be careful,
the vegetation can hide funding gaps between the rocks.
Down in this valley seems impossible
because all around is surrounded by vertical rocks ...
but I found here, fig Bengal and its roots ...
grow along the face of rock and go to the bottom.
These roots can be a means to descend.
This part is difficult.
Technically it is more difficult fall than rise,
because it is much harder to see you where to place the feet and hands,
but it is the same rules you have to relax and go slow
and not move without one hundred percent sure that the feet and hands are
well supported.
and you can make some one thousand times, but to err is only one.
the most important thing is to always maintain three points of contact with the tree.
you should not support with only one hand.
This part is difficult because it is here where the roots grew
and the rocks of the cliff are unraveling.
My arms are burning.
I'm running out of strength, but I went down and I'm in the jungle.
I want to get to the beach as soon as possible, but is easy to become disoriented in the dense
Wow, look!
Look at the bamboo, is simply amazing
Bamboo is very versatile, can use to shelter, spear and other things
essential to survive
and I'll take some with me.
Wow, look at this, and the risk of down was truly worth it.
This will be perfect and is a thousand times more sheltered from the place I got.
It will be a good place to camp and I'll also be able to fish here.
Now the big question: - I can not find water?
Translation and Sync: Ph0b05. Review: Decon, RW9.
There are over 30 thousand islands on the ocean peaceful and many are uninhabited.
If you're lost on an island like this, there chances that someone is looking for you.
Then you have to be sure seen by a rescue group
you need to build a signal fire.
I want to make the bonfire the highest I can and that is also the most
flammable possible
to burn very fast and produces light I want to start with this huge pile
dried leaves of trees, to be use as a wick and then I'll use
these dried leaves of coconut tree and then make a tripod around the wick.
But I will not turn on now, I wait a boat or plane appear
and then I also picked up some leaves green and put in back to avoid
water intake and keep the leaves droughts, but also produce smoke.
If the rescue come the day I I need this smoke.
But I have to light another fire now
that must burn constantly, to may light up the sign at any time.
to light the fire I'll use a technique called * Fire Plow
widely used in the Pacific Islands.
The hibiscus that grows throughout Polynesia is a perfect wood to use
the bow and spike, as has a low moisture content.
and that helping it going, because the sweat dripping from my nose is down two
times here, I need to start again, but let the sweat fall on the left
Come on, to almost there!
creating sufficient friction between the arch and the base, you can have an ember that
can be exploited to turn a strand of coconut shells
coals have already done here, just turn the lock
And soon there will be fire There you are!
We fire.
Staying warm is no problem here, but the sun is punishing and exposed to
Wind and rain can end up with health, then I'll build a simple shelter.
the hibiscus is a very useful tree and he is easy to find near the islands
Mexico's Pacific coast, and you recognize the leaves heart-shaped
its smooth bark is excellent pra tie anything.
Normally I would build the shelter in shadow, but my priority here is
be visible to a rescue that is flying and any other rescue.
What am I going to do is hold that most of the fiber shell.
In the first layer, I use leaves dried palm, which is very abundant
and I do not waste a lot energy to find them
and above will use green leaves, they resist water better.
survive is a question both mental and physical
and sometimes something as simple as a Diving can lift your spirits.
Usually on islands such as this are uninhabited because they have no
source of drinking water and the best way to hydrate is getting those coconuts
and I want to have a problem, they there are ten, twelve feet high
and get them will not be easy.
is a technique when climbing these trees, always keep a pressure
the trunk with the heels and toes feet, and switch between hands and feet.
You need to have strong thighs, if know how to ride will be very good at it
but my thighs are burning and I'm only halfway ...
Coconuts can save your life in this situation, but also kill.
People die every year because coconuts falling on their heads.
A coconut weighs an average of almost two kilos and can hit the ground with a force of
a metric ton.
I want them, the greens are new and they contain much more water
older, the Browns who are in beach. These greens are much richer
in nutrients, and the way I will take, just keep spinning it.
And should fall at any time.
And here he comes ... and there he goes.
Cool.
Down the tree is more difficult and painful than you think.
I'll tell you, this is not something you will want to do if you are a man.
Coconuts are rich in potassium, which body loses when you sweat.
It's wonderful.
It also has vitamin C and carbohydrates, being a good source of energy ...
And it is not surprising that the Polynesians call the palm-tree of life.
I met one of the survivors of tsunami of 2005 that was rescued from
a desert island who survived 25 days eating only coconuts and that
shows as well as the coconut can save lives.
Two sailors survived for a week in an island
after their boat sank,
after spending the night clinging to wrecks, the tide took them to an island
desert where there was water ...
they survived on coconuts and crustaceans,
until rescued, seven days after when the flag was improvised
sighted by a plane.
But if the rescue does not appear?
It's my second day on the island, and if you is in this situation, your next
Priority will be food.
I'll try their luck in the ocean.
First I need to do a lan?a.Esse Bamboo is a beginning, to prevent
Split bamboo I need to use some peel hibiscus wrap it around
Now I leave the tip of the bamboo and assim.agora fit I can do
four corners sharp.
The sharper, easier will be trying to catch a fish.
I'll try right.
And it will be useful if I need me defend, because these waters are areas
hunting of sharks ...
You're getting very sharp now and this is even the best casts I can
do to fish.
There are many fish here, I just need to catch them
but there are risks, some fish are poisonous and others can attack me
then keep your hands away of any hole or crack
because the fish can moray attack everything you see
and also not try to eat them morays cause ciguatera
the most common food poisoning for seafood in E.U.A.
I can only hold my breath for two minutes before returning to the surface.
Of all animals, humans have the less able to hold their breath.
But I need to continue and I would more spirit a good meal.
This turtle would give me a meal delicious, but in the late 70 they
joined the list of extinction, I only eat if you were very desperate.
I'm out of breath, but I definitely I'm getting hold your breath for
longer than the first time and this is what I gotta do, go
increasing the time gradually.
Meet with a shark was not what I expected,
luckily this is a sand shark, a less aggressive species here
but this is a reminder that can be others around.
Then it's time to leave the water and fast.
but I will not give up, it is at these times you need to keep trying
and if not work, then arrange a new plan.
I'll try a traditional technique used by the inhabitants of these islands,
I'm looking for a plant that can be used to poison fish.
The fish poison is common in all peaceful
it has oval leaves and is found near the back ...
the poison is in the roots, only use roots small and fresh, it contains more venom.
Often the fish are caught these rock pools at low tide
and what I'll do is grind these timbo roots to catch the oil it
and this is really cool, just need to grind and then stir it into the water.
In minutes, any fish that has contact with it will float
the surface.
The plant and roots contain rotenone,
a natural toxin used for centuries by native peoples to catch fish
and the poison has no harmful effects on humans, then it is safe to eat fish.
Legal caught eight, that's dinner.
Now that caught the fish I need cook them, and what I'll do is
bake them in what they call immunity and it is an oven made of traditional Hawaiian
stones and I always wanted to do this, but never had time to do properly
first you have to dig a hole so now I use my catcher
giant that I did before, that was pretty cool.
and I can get one of these stones and put them here and are very hot
and they are going to bake the fish ...
then I wrap them ...
these stones will be hot for many, many hours and the sand is a
excellent insulator.
Well, to bake these fish I'm wrap them in leaves of melaleuca
and these leaves are very important for the Polynesian people, are known
to combat aging, which is very good, but more importantly
that will give flavor and retain moisture.
That will be right in the middle and will cook in steam,
I will now tie it together ...
And now ready for baking.
So I'll use some of these sheets to cover the bottom of the oven,
'm here, more leaves up and just wait,
for over an hour ...
It should be ready, I can not wait.
As the fish bake, I'll extract a little oil of coconut meat
that will protect me from the sun and sea water.
What I'm trying to do is crushing to extract the oil,
never creamy as a sunscreen,
but I just want to knead enough to get the oil
and it is this oil that will protect me seawater, rashes and sun.
and all I need to do is turn a little in the hand and rub the skin so
and you can tell the oil coming out and give me a good protection.
My fish must have been baked.
Therein lies.
And I see that the eyes jumped pra out, I do not know if you can see,
'll take one ...
the eyes of the fish jumped and that means they are ready
and those you can eat whole and this looks good ... I could stay here
indefinitely, have shelter, food and what to drink, but I want to go home
and tomorrow I will do something you've always wanted, build a raft and go out to the sea.
I put in the position of a stranger an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean
have found shelter and food, I could wait for weeks for the rescue,
but if you run out of food and water, you just if you can survive off the island.
And that's what I'll do.
The natives of the Polynesian used travel thousands of miles by canoe
similar to this, these canoes the tree trunk and when they wanted to go
further they put stabilizer hand
much like this, and this gave more stability for the canoe,
but I do not have the time or tools to make a canoe drawn up like this
but I have great resources here, very bamboo and much rope arrangement to
and what I can do is a catamaran,
a version of two fins it here.
It is far less sophisticated but it has stability.
I can use this to get off this island.
Bamboo is used by sailors for thousands of years for its strength and
buoyancy. There are air pockets between the nodes of the plant and even in us
are tiny pockets of air.
To break down the bamboo one I need build a fire in their base,
because there's no way to cut it with my knife, I would take an eternity,
but before doing so I'll stick a these cameras, because they are filled with air
and if I did not stick, the fire will heat air and bamboo may explode.
So I need to insert the tip of the knife blade or just to release the pressure.
This thing is very hard, but I think ... I can to see it now, could
make a hole and this should relieve the pressure.
Now to make the fire I brought a embers of the camp fire in these
coconut shells and is still on.
it's still on.
And I can use a Quaker of dry woods here.
The fire almost went out, and I do not our walk another 800 meters to
the forest to get one more hot.
Cool!
I'll wrap it up with the bark of the hibiscus.
This simple design of the catamaran will give me more stability,
and more space for supplies.
I can not wait to see it in the water.
The deck has to be strong and flexible enough to withstand the strong waves and
waves and let me higher possible for me to keep dry.
And because the vessel is so heavy, made under roller bamboo
for me to take it to water more easily.
I need a candle, without any candle journey is at the mercy of the currents.
This is a part of the vessel is a mystery to me, trying to make a
sailing and this is something I never did.
And honestly do not know will not work. If it works or not.
I weave these leaves palm to the candle
and make a wooden structure to support, involving everything.
It may work well
I for some of these and I tie everything together.
And it might work.
But I do not know if it will endure the rigor the ground is the open sea.
I decided to find out how things are conditions of the sea from the island,
and are not good.
There is no way I leave this island before these winds stop, then
look at that, it is a cauldron of water busy and it's intimidating just by looking
and is as far as I can see.
Any raft would have problems in a sea so I'll have to wait for the winds
calm down.
Then I see something in the water, a bottle and it can save my life.
If I can get the bottle, will make much difference to me
down but there will not be easy.
Waves like that can be lethal.
Recently a family was wiped out a platform like this for a large
wave while looking at the surf.
The couple had drowned, but the water pushed son of 11 years for the rocks,
when it was rescued by lifeguards.
Waves usually has a regular pattern
they come in succession seven and are becoming increasingly important.
So if I were the patient adequate and comply with standards
I can avoid the waves.
The bottle floated towards deeper waters calm, I'll take the chance.
This bottle can be essential to carry water,
but now it's time to go the sheltered side of the island and give
finishing touches on my boat.
open sea I need to have control of the vessel.
Then I get a paddle with hibiscus.
'm Tying with a fiber to resistance.
This also will be my rudder, is a work hard and time consuming, but worth doing right,
not want to be at the mercy of the currents.
My candle is also beginning to take shape now.
Weaving is one of those things that can not be done quickly,
and is also good to have time to sit quietly, the sun set, the fire is
access, and I can make it calmly and I'm feeling now is that
will definitely work like a candle ...
And every leaf I weave I am a step closer to my house.
After leaving, I can face the greatest fear of sailors adrift ...
Sharks.
He just hit down here.
Orkut Community: Deadliest Catch - Man Vs Wild
The next morning it's raining.
But this is good news for me.
It is a way to take a bath cool and remove the sea water to me.
This is much better than that salt.
When it rains so try make the most.
I'll see if collect a little water and best way to do this is ...
I just found a shell old coconut ...
and if I put the sand in this way one of those big leaves, the rain will
drain here and fill it here, since is raining very hard to fill in
minutes. It will be a good glass of fresh water.
In this heat you should drink at least half a liter of water every day.
My bottle just give me five days of water.
This is hard work, but I managed, this is my candle and also
my protection against the sun, when at sea.
It was too much.
I need to make sure I have all supplies they need,
it is the following, since this sail beauty, is so heavy that
I can not get it back to the beach.
I need everything that is nescess?rio to face the ground that holds.
In the water I to taking more coconut oil to protect me
pra sand and polish my knife.
If I sight any vessel I will use as a signal reflector.
To me this is very exciting and I will never forget those days
but I pray with all my heart and soul for this to work.
It is the moment of truth, if you find that your raft will not hold,
leave it and swim back, but this Polynesian design seems to be stable.
I'm off the island and the winds seem be weaker than in recent days
I was watching them and the winds winds finally stopped,
and this is the window in the weather that I was and I hope it stays that way,
until I go a little further.
The chops will weaken my boat and I hope that this calm will last.
But now, the first problem be open sea is the sun.
It's very hot here and the candle you give me a bit of shade,
but my biggest problem now is amount of water splashing on me
and I can feel my skin is getting very dry
and that's why I brought this coconut oil.
I will now pass same to avoid irritation caused by sea water.
The best way to keep cool is to a swim with a time range,
but it is always good to tie, because there many stories of survivors
being separated from their boats.
But there is something in the water and I need to get out fast.
I should have looked at two times before entering.
It's lucky I was out of the water and usually the sharks are in
surface and you can see their dorsal fins, but these are
the bottom and I had no idea how close when they were immersed.
When you need to leave the vessel never take the clothes and shoes,
statistically when there is a group of people at sea, usually those
are without clothes are first to be attacked.
This is because sharks can mistake the reflection of sunlight on the skin with a fish.
Wow, look at this guy, look! Wow
Those tiger sharks and the worst bite out of all the sharks of the sea.
Look at this guy, and if you are in water being attacked, the better you
can do is yell, hit the water and punching the shark in the nose or the guelrras
are the most sensitive parts of it.
This is the view that castaways fear most.
And it is very hard to keep calm.
I built a raft and leave the island, to show you how to survive at sea.
But now I'm facing a situation like many sailors adrift.
Wow, he hit the bottom of the vessel.
I wish that they would go away soon.
Look! look! look! look!
Except the white shark, the tiger is responsible for more human deaths
than any other shark.
Wow this is not good!
But soon they get bored me and go away.
This makes me wonder how people survive a week after the other
these vast oceans.
It takes willpower and determination to keep hope.
Therefore it is important to keep busy and do everything possible to
try to find more food and water.
It's time to fish
and I'm using a hook made with the bone of a fish that I caught on the island
a bit of bait
and a line made of hibiscus fiber as well as a bamboo stick.
Cross your fingers for me to get something.
I'll relax and see what I can.
Hey, I fished something.
Wow, look at it, is actually a fish surgeon they are ugly and gross
and you can tell because, look, are very sharp and here is something that
with a knife and something like a blade and it is very sharp
can easily cut a vein if you hold wrong.
And what I'll do is open it and ...
Can you see the backbone here, and all that I want is the fluid inside.
Not much, but it's better than nothing.
One of the most incredible survival at sea I've ever heard
was a couple of "Baileys", husband and woman who were hit by a
whale when they were on the yacht and ended up in a life raft
more than 100 days and they survived eating raw sea turtles, seabirds
and fish and all they had was some safety pins and hands.
They were eventually rescued by a small fishing boat, but the clothes
they literally rotted in the body and they had sunburn and
wounds throughout his body, but survived.
This making of Farenheight 100 (38 Celsius)
but the reflection of sun on the water gives impression that is much more.
And I run a shadow the risk of heatstroke.
The Pacific is a vast ocean, but also has busy shipping lanes.
However it is likely that they will not you see, unless you call the
their attention first.
It has a boat there, probably 6 or 8 miles, I see the top of it
when he stops going up and down on waves, but surely is a boat.
I'll use this knife, go sand pra shine and use it to do a sign.
And a sign of these can be seen ? uns 10 kilometros de dist?ncia.
Great, and a man was seen over 160 km away using a reflector
like this, you just need to make a "V" fingers and the blade angle to the sun
hide the knife and go doing this and pray that someone there you see the deck.
Surely, definitely they are there.
Although this site seems idyllic, was much more difficult than I imagined.
And now I understand better how the sea can be unforgiving
but also the heroism of some people who survived it
it's almost like one of those places that you can only enjoy
only after having been there. But for me is definitely the time to go home.
