3 Days Camping with NO FOOD! Building a Survival Shelter (barely made it)

Welcome to our extreme island survival adventure. Our objective is to build a big survival shelter to make a base in the archipelago. We're going out with almost no equipment. We just grabbed these silly wool blankets and said let's go. We don't need any sleeping bags and jackets to make it. We're the last Vikings, we're going out to an island far out to the sea. We have no food with us, only this fishing rod and some wool blankets. All right, we have now arrived at the island. Now our next objective is to make a shelter for the night. So we're here with Josh and this is going to be our first time survival camping. What do we need to do first? I think we got to find where to build our hut. Yes, that's our first quest for today. So Josh, have you ever been survival camping before? I have never been survival camping. This is my first time. All right, it's going to be exciting and even though it's summer, it's going to become cold in the night. So we definitely need to get a shelter done. And there may be some rain coming tomorrow. So let's get started. We need to get some big logs to make an A-frame shelter. Let's do that. This tree is going to be perfect for the frame and we're also going to need some reeds and branches for the roof. So you can take care of that. Sure. And I'm gonna take care of these logs. All right, let's do that. Yeah, go. All right. A few moments later. I meant reeds, not grass. Wow, all for nothing. So I told Joshua to gather a lot of these reeds which are growing on the shore. If we can manage to gather enough, we can make a comfortable bed and even waterproof roof. All right, you have the reeds. We can use these as a mattress also to sleep on, but we're gonna need a lot more. You're gonna be faster. And now we have enough logs to start building the frame of our shelter. When building shelters of natural materials, having no nails, ropes or drills, it is totally possible to create advanced structures, more than mere piles of branches. Using natural notches on the branches, we are able to attach materials in a safe and simple way, even without nails or string. Can you now see what it's gonna become? It's gonna become a house. Yes, beautiful house. Looks good. Hold it up there. I'm gonna put this A-frame here under. We hope it's gonna not fall down on us when we sleep. Let's try it. All right, kind of works. Yeah, this is actually gonna work. I was a bit doubtful what this is gonna become, but we made it. Yeah, yeah, this is gonna be an amazing hut and perhaps this night we're gonna freeze because we're not gonna get it ready. Let's just keep going. Yeah, let's get it done. Under here, we will build a bed. Using the reeds, we can easily create a safe and cozy space to lay down. For tonight, this should suffice as there is no rain coming. Look, there's a swan. Perhaps we can eat it. Dude, I'm exhausted. I don't know how long I can take this, but I'll try my best. We've been here like five hours, I think. And you're already tired. I'm already tired and we haven't eaten anything. We're gonna eat something tomorrow. We're gonna go fishing. Yeah, tomorrow we're gonna go fishing. I hope we get some fish, otherwise I'm not eating anything. But yeah, let's hope for the best. Being out here in the wild, having no food with us, is an amazing feeling of adventure. And many may believe that it is very difficult to go without food for very long times. They are wrong. If you're healthy, you can be surprisingly active despite eating nothing. I don't think people should be afraid of going without food for a while. It's a strengthening experience. All right, bro, now we have a sleeping mat finally. Yeah, so what do you think? Do you just want to sleep here? You seem a bit sleepy. I'm very tired. Yeah, but if we don't have a roof here, we may get wet at night. We definitely gotta make a roof. All right, you still have energy for a roof? Still have energy. Okay, we need something above our heads. Now our next task is to find some branches to put over here and maybe some more of these reeds as a roof and then to make a fireplace. Yeah, I'm looking forward for the fireplace. Yeah, definitely. Let's get going. Let's get going. So now the mosquitoes are starting to come, but luckily we have these wool cloaks. We're gonna be able to sleep under them and hopefully no mosquitoes are gonna be able to bite us. Now I'm also starting to feel a bit hungry. We haven't eaten in the entire day, but tomorrow for sure we're gonna catch some good fish and cook it on the fire. That's gonna be amazing. And we also have a bit of water with us, but only like one bottle each. So we're gonna be very conservative, drinking one sip at a time and that's gonna keep us hydrated, but we're not gonna drink too much water too fast. So it's getting a bit dark, but before we can go to sleep we must cover at least half of this wall and then we put some moss on top of it and if it starts to rain then we're gonna stay kind of dry. Let's go to the dark forest to find some logs. Are you a viking hero? I'm a viking. Okay Josh, the shelter is ready for the night. Barely. Yeah, barely, almost. What time do you think it is? I think it's like one o'clock. So tired. We haven't eaten anything. We have to catch some fish tomorrow. Definitely. Otherwise we're not gonna make it at all. Hold back. Yeah, hold back. Luckily we have some water. Yeah, I have drank like three sips today just to make sure it's not gonna run out. We drink one sip at a time and it's not gonna run out. We also have eaten a lot of salt. So we stay hydrated. Yeah. So what do you think about your mattress? Well, it's better than sleeping on a rock. Really soft. Alright bro, it's time to wake up. Yeah. We need to go fishing. Let's get the food. Yeah, it's a beautiful day today. Let's get up. It didn't rain this night. Oh, this was quite a cozy hut. Yeah, you thought it was cozy. It was cozy. To sleep out here in nature. Definitely. I slept like seven hours but they were very like deep sleep. Yeah, you feel so relaxed here. I felt very relaxed, connected to the ground, connected to nature. You relax more and we had pretty deep sleep. Definitely. And there was some ants crawling but at least no ticks so that's the... Yeah, very good, very good. No rain. Did you get too cold? A bit cold at some point but... Yeah, it was windy in the night. But now let's get going and catch some fish. So are you excited to catch some fish? Yeah, I'm hungry. Super hungry. Starving. Alright, yeah, we have this fishing rod and you also have worm and hooks. Yeah. So we're definitely gonna catch something, at least something small. I hope. Yeah, we're gonna cook it on the fire. It already looks like we're gonna have something to eat today. We're not gonna starve. I got one bite of a pike but it got away so we're gonna catch it soon. You let it go. No. Time passed as we grew more tired from the paddling and lack of food. We have been fishing for at least three hours and there is nothing, nothing yet. Until... Alright, you got your first fish. I got my first fish. Finally. Took like three hours I think. I'm a bit hungry so... You cannot eat it? I could almost eat it straight. Okay, so first you gotta take it away from the hook. Remove the hook. Yeah, got it. Alright and kill it. Can you kill a fish? I think it's dead. That was rough. Was it the moral way to kill a fish? I guess. Yeah, it was. Fast way. Okay, so we're now getting a lot of this small, small junk fish one can say. But it's totally edible and we're not gonna starve anymore. I'm so happy now. How much protein do you think we have now? We have six or five of these fish. So how much protein do you think there's in one fish? How many do we gonna need? I think there's like five to ten grams of protein. I need to eat 20. Well, this is a big one. We're definitely not gonna starve. We're gonna have a feast. Don't lose it. We can't lose this. It's the biggest one we caught. This is at least like 20 grams of protein. Nice. Like a protein bar. Okay, so we can kill this. We have a sharp knife. We're gonna cut off the... Alright, so we have eight fish right now and we've been here for quite long. Like probably like almost five hours. And we need six more so that we can be satisfied with a good stomach. I'm currently starving and also quite tired from the like rowing the boat and waiting and also being just hungry. So I'm waiting. I'm looking forward for the fish and this is gonna be a good evening. Yeah, gonna be awesome bro. We have another big one. You gotta grab it. Yeah. Yeah, can't wait to eat this. I'm like starving right now. Whoops. I can't run. So yesterday we thought this would be easy but after all of this work and fishing we began to feel the knot. So optimal sleep doesn't help either. We must create better beds if we are able to make it back to the island. We have now paddled back to the island with our last strength. I think if we didn't get this fish we couldn't have made it this far. This gave a lot of more energy when you just know that we're gonna have something to eat. So now let's go and eat something. All right, so have you gutted a fish before? Never. Never before. You need to cut off its stomach. Let's see. You're gonna like this. Okay, your turn. All right. What do I do now? I take it? Yeah, you pull out all the intestines. What the **** is that? Yeah, it's fresh, right? And then you clean it in the water. Awesome, all the fish are clean. Now, can you grab some of that grass there and then we're gonna ignite the fire. Sure. Here we have some very dry grass and this flint and steel. So can you get it burning as we did last night? Let's see. Let's give that a try. Yeah and I actually have a challenge for you. If you can do it in a minute you can have this apple I sneaked with me to this island. And you did it. I did it. Quickly. You have an apple. Thank you. But I'm gonna not eat anything. Okay, get some small twigs here. Twigs, yeah. I'm so hungry. It's so juicy. It's the best apple you've eaten ever. Yeah, I saw you getting a bit tired. I'm glad you got the challenge done too easily actually. I thought you wouldn't even make it. I'm so hungry I gotta make the fire fast. Yeah, awesome. Now we have the fish here and we can cook them on these rocks here. All right. It's gonna be very good. And let's also bring the salt that we have brought here. We have some Himalayan salt. Here is your beautiful perch. Oh yeah. You're gonna eat that one. Thank you. I think your perch is done. You can have a try. You just open it like that and take a piece. Looks good. And then you take some of this salt here. Yeah, it tastes very good. Yeah, with this food we'll have energy to complete the shelter. Definitely. The night was a bit windy and cold so we're gonna have a better sleep now. Yeah, that's very important. I'm looking forward for that. To build a beautiful and complete shelter is our goal. This is our challenge we decided to do before going on to this journey. It's a lot of work to gather all of these logs and thick branches considering the rough circumstances we are in. It's going to look amazing once it's done though. So we want to keep going creating this durable shelter. All right, so let's make a door here. I think we can make a door frame on this Y-branch here. Do you understand? And we can make this top of the door stand on top of this. All right. And this other side I can attach better with this rope I found on the beach. You can find anything if you're looking for it. Now I'm showing Joshua how to fit these wood pieces above our beautiful door frame using these natural notches to connect the wooden structures. While I build the rest of this wall, Josh finished the other side with moss he gathered from around the forest. Yeah, this is very good. This is cozy. Here we're gonna sleep a good night's sleep and we just need to finish these sides here and then it's gonna be ready and we can finally lay down and relax, sit by the campfire. There's so much room inside here and when we bring more of these reeds it's gonna be a luxury mattress here. Not kidding. This is how the entire shelter will look soon. Energy is really running low, especially for Josh as he is not yet used to this kind of life. I'm becoming concerned if we actually do have enough mental strength and energy to complete the last wall, but something great happened and brought us renewed energy to pull it through. Hey, I found something. What's that? I found some old planks. What's that you found? Yeah, I found some old planks, possibly some kind of building over here that is under the moss, so maybe we can use this. Yeah, that's awesome. Very good. These look very old. I wonder what was here. Finally the shelter is complete. We have built something very beautiful and it took us at least 15 hours of constant work, but this was our challenge to build a beautiful hut in which we can sleep. We did this without eating almost any food and we're very proud. Now it's just about finishing it up with some final details and then we can move the fireplace and get the fire going. Wow, what a day. A very rough day, or two days. Yeah, two days of rough. Did you expect to be so hungry? I was really hungry before we got fish, so I was happy when we got some fish and it tasted very good. Yeah, I think we got like 30 grams of protein. It's very little, but 30 grams of protein and 200 calories, so I'm still starving. Yeah, I'm quite hungry still, but better than nothing. Tomorrow we can catch something more and also in the evening we're gonna return home to our wonderful beautiful beds. Yeah, can't wait. That's gonna be so beautiful. Now everything in the modern, everything we have in our normal lives now seems so luxurious. Definitely. Even having some normal food is gonna be so nice. The apple you gave me tasted so delicious and the fish were like on another planet. Yeah. But yeah, I managed to survive. I've never done this in my life and I burned my face a little bit in the sun, but it's all right. I think you did very well. You haven't complained a single time. True that. Many other men would have probably. Good point. They would have been wanting to get home already. Yeah, and also one other thing. I didn't expect us to survive with such less water. We drank like, we had like a bit over a liter of water, so we've managed to survive quite well. Yeah, I think we both have like half a liter left, so we could even drink some more now. Yeah. We can have a party and drink a bit more water. Let's do that. Oh man. And now we can still, we can improve the beds a bit before we go sleeping. Sure. And that's gonna be even cozier. Yeah, sounds like a plan. Yeah. Cheers. Get the metal shake. Yeah, sounds good. Reject plastics, embrace metal shake. Okay, but now I have like 300 left for tomorrow. That's gonna be enough. All right, I have about the same, one third. All right, 300 milliliters. We're gonna survive it. All right, good night bro. Good night. All right Josh, it's time to wake up. You tired? I'm quite tired. Yeah. Do you remember what we promised your brothers? Well, we promised to do a workout. Yeah, yeah, we need to work out and also swim in the cold water. So time to rise up and clear our heads. The last water. The last water. Yeah, before we go training, I just want to say you have done a pretty good job here helping me out with this shelter. Thank you. This is very beautiful. It is. I'm looking forward to come back here. We're gonna come back and make it better. What else do you think we need? Well, I think we should build some kind of fireplace inside. It was a bit cold, so in the winters it might be colder. And then some windows would be nice. Some windows, oh yeah. But the fireplace, yeah, inside in winter. We're gonna come here at winter at least. Yeah. And one more time this summer. Perhaps we build some bench here. Would be amazing to have a bench here. Now it's time to head out and do our little workout. Vikings train every day. So this is the third day now. We have only been eating a few small fish. We will now return with the kayak, doing some fishing on the way in hopes of getting some food on our long journey home. We're excited to return here for our next camping trip and we're very glad to show you this adventure. So do subscribe to the channel and see the next video. And most importantly, don't forget to get out there.
