YBS Lifestyle Ep 22 - SOLO CAMPING WITH NO FOOD | Living From The Land

Me and Strider are back down the beach. We've got no food, not much gear and we are just going to survive for as long as we sort of can and wing it. We're about an hour from town. The next major town south is probably 350 kilometers away. So I'll show you what I got the four-wheel drive. Water, got the swag just in case. Drone and I've got a few pots and pans and stuff in there. The only food I packed is some dog biscuits for Strider just in case we don't get anything. Look at it. She is flexing boy. Probably left home at just after six o'clock this morning. We'll keep heading south. Pretty much how barren and gnarly it is out here. What I'm guessing was a big sheet and poor fella. There was a shabba no shark right in the shallow. This could potentially make a great spear. How's that for a five second makeshift spear? That was bad bro. It's really starting to heat up now. I got some of this dog sunscreen. It's like fully natural. Doesn't hurt the dog. That's pretty cool. Like goat skin. I wonder if it tastes like jerky. Big grasshopper. I don't think they could swim. Oh snack. I'm sorry mate. I am sorry. I got it. You know what? I reckon we should chuck the drone up in the air. Let's do that. You're so quick. So hot. Could definitely be some mud crabs around here. Whoa this one stings. I've got cuts all over my feet and I don't want to get infected. How do I get out of here? It's about four o'clock now. We'll just keep moving. We're a couple hours out of town now. I like doing this stuff. It's like challenging and fun at the same time. So we'll keep pushing through. This will all be out of the water and have some mud flats to go explore. It is now 5.19pm. Just waiting for the other GoPro to charge. I've got my head torch on charge as well because that's going to probably get me through tonight. Just an infinite list of things around here that can kill you. That thing there this meaty part here is going to be my only friend. That was actually delicious. I just seen another one of those shells. I'm just going to eat it. Right next to it is a stonefish. Wow look at this guy. Stonefish. So gnarly. So venomous. So dangerous. These spikes here all down his back. You step on them spikes and that's it. These are the guys you really got to be careful of. Thanks mate. Thanks for letting me hang with you. Here you go buddy. If I stood on that stonefish out here or got stung just then that would have been it. There's no way I would have got back. I mean there's always a chance. So nice. Water crossing. We'll just grab all our gear. Oh it's starting to get freezing cold. As the sun goes down, the tide goes out, fingers crossed we can get something. Strider! We're ready to go. You ready Strider? Well this is it guys. This is what we do Strider. It's the last of the light. When the light goes it gets a little bit more lonely that's for sure but it's okay. We've got a Strider dog. All I can think about now is stepping on a stonefish. I've got no shoes on. Strider's chasing something. Into the mangroves we go. Man this is actually kind of spooky now. It's getting really dark. This is absolutely sick. When the sun goes we just got each other out here. I don't even know if you can see anymore but I can see there's a mud crab right here. Oh ---- there we go. It's seen me. There it is. Oh sick. I don't want to get this on. I need to get it off. Out of the water. Out of the water. Let's go. Ready? Let's go. Let's go. Oh look at the tail on this. Got ya. I did it. Well over 12 hours we've been on this mission. Well over 20 hours I've had no food and I've got myself a mud crab. Oh whoa whoa. You want to grab them on those two back swimmers. Push them in together and hold it tight and they cannot get you with their nippers. That'll just take your finger off. It'll crush it. Almost got me then. Mangroves are so important for the ecosystem. I'm just going to pinch a couple just to make this as less stress as I can for tonight. Here you go mate. Feels like they're hidden and they're in their element. Just puts less stress on the crab. I'm getting absolutely lit up by sandflies at the moment. They're everywhere. I'm pretty much in the middle of nowhere right now and I just pulled over. I'm not sure if you can see all those like they look like glowing diamonds. What they are is they're spider eyes. Wolf spiders to be particular. They are venomous. They're not too bad on humans but they are very very thick around here. I'll show you one. There's one. That is a wolf spider. They're beautiful. He's got his fangs up. I'm not gonna hurt you mate. Put you back down. Off you get. Oh I'm sorry. Watch the time. It's quarter to 11. I just sort of made it back down to the area where I want to camp. Gonna have a quick scrub. Try to get this zinc off my face. I'll probably see you guys first thing tomorrow morning. Oh good morning. I actually slept like a baby last night. Five five five. In five more minutes we survived 24 hours with no food at all in barren coastal Australia. You want to come in here? Maybe I should get the drone up real quick huh? Make the most of this sunrise. Let's do that. Oh there's the sun just coming up now. I've been all around the globe trying to protect your soul. Not much energy at the moment that's for sure. We just had a quick swim and we're um heading along the beach to find a nice place to make a little campfire and cook up that mud crab. Plenty of wood over there. I'm just making my little fireplace here. Get some hot coals going because I'm going to boil this crab. Getting absolutely cooked out here now. This is good. That's exactly what we wanted and hopefully this stuff is going to be dead enough to uh get a flame going. Come on baby. Come on baby. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes boom boom boom boom. We have fire baby. Yes all right we'll let that get super hot. Heaps of coals. We'll grab this pot put some salt water in it. If you're going to cook a mud crab always use salt water. It tastes so much better. It's just coming to the boil now. About 15 minutes. Look at that. See how you can see that it's starting to rise and um float and there's a bit of meat coming out of the legs. That means there's a great indicator that it's cooked and it's ready to come out so we'll take this pot off right now. So what you're meant to do when you're cooking crabs is once they come off the boil straight onto ice. Straight onto icy water and it just helps soften the meat and it tastes a lot better. The best thing I can do is go straight down to the ocean. Excuse me. Holy ---- I'm sweating. The best thing I can do is go straight down the ocean and drop it straight in in the cool water down there. Look at that. Oh I'm so hungry. I don't even know how long I don't even know how long I've been out here anymore. It's well over 24 hours now and um yes I'm underneath my car because I am that cooked. This is the only shade available. This is gonna taste so good. That is so good. I don't even know how to explain it. Yeah. Well I think that's it for another episode guys. I'm just gonna eat this and head back home. I'm absolutely buggered. Thanks so much for watching. If you like it give it a thumbs up if you want to see more subscribe.
