Headspace and mediation have done wonders for my well-being so honestly it's completely worth trying out :)
I spent 5 days on a deserted island 50miles of the coast of central America on the Pacific side with no food, no water and no shelter and only limited gear.
A special Thanks to desertislandsurvival.com and @wildsurvivalskills for the Training :)

Video should be named: “Dude drinking coconut water”
I was gona comment something like this. Almost 30mins into the vid and guy is still talking about coconuts.
His stomach will run 😂😂
I’m saying. I’m all for the real content but this guy is infatuated with the coconuts. Spent 2 days getting coconuts.
Should be "I got the shits from thinking coconut water was actually water". Good thing he had ample supplies. 😂
I felt like I was on acid and just watched the same thing like 10 times but he really did just go back and forth eating coconuts 😂
Tip for coconut. Remove the husk after drinking the water. Then roast it. It will produce some oil. Put oil on skin. Instant moisturizer and insect repellent
also perfectly good source of fats in a survival situation
@@stephenkennedy9687 No need to eat the oil when u can eat the coconut
The jelly u meant? We use to make oil with the jelly inside when I was a child. You can chop off a piece of the shell and use as a scoop to get out the jelly by scooping around the edges, it comes out nicely
Just dont use it being directly hit by the sun it will roast you.
@@THEHORSELOVER235 ideal for frying in, add fat to everything you can in that situation And he wasted so much of it
That is what CZcams should be all about... the algorithm took me here and I was amazed. You're serious figuring out survival stuff but still you are funny in the same time. Much respect, man!
If you enjoyed this, check out on CZcams, "the island with bear grylls". Its a TV show about survival that took place on this same island, just a few years earlier.
It's a great channel. Xander has a great art of observing and participating in nature.
@@TravisLawrence12 exactly.. real, raw stuff, no fooling around...
The COCONUTS man😂🎉
Brother, I saw your name in the Guinness World Record -- The man who drinks the most coconut water.🥥🌴
It means you could be addicted to coconut water
@@user-lm8fp2dq9b Yes, like your mother 😋
Those crabs will be talking about you for years: "Remember when that Canadian guy showed up and chucked out all of those perfectly good coconuts?"
"Remember? I've still got some of the coconut in my freezer".
@@krift8083 lmao rofl lol hahahahahahha
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 The ants 2 they all living on a island unbothered
crabs don't have freezers
I LMFAO'd after I ROFL'd at that!
*one tips- if u want drink coconut water with better taste, shake the coconut first, if u hear the water inside shaking, thats defenitly the wrong one. if it dont shaking, thats the good one. it's coconut taste just so good and better than, and eazy to scratch too. im an south east asian, coconut water is my blood. trust me
For eggs put them in the water and if it flows it's no good
Im very sure he couldn't be picky in his situation. You ain't shaking no coconuts when you are limited. You just take what you can get.
@@chaosXgum no, he can climb, and there is a ton of coconut three, there is an option, so its a good tips
@LEMAO-hm3hg but he didn't want to climb as it clearly was using to much energy and it wasn't as easy as just poking them down. You can't test a coconut that's hanging on the palm. It needs to already have been hit to the floor at which this time he might as well drink it regardless of it having much coconut water inside, due to him being on an island for 5 days. You don't get picky when in that situation.
@LEMAO-hm3hg if you are going to be stupid, go be stupid with @acumalaka910
i love how most of the comments mentions about him talking about coconuts. i mean you cant blame the guy its the only resource he can easily get to
Literally living and making childhood dreams!
I sit here with my son, and we both are glued, and now he wants planes.
Quite frankly, so do I 😂😂😂❤
Hey, algorithm just showed me this video randomly, I’ve never seen any of your videos. 1 hour in the video and I’m so submerged and mesmerized! Awesome work bud
Oh, wow. You have so much to see with Xander's channel! I've been watching him for over 2 years now, and I still get excited when he drops a new video. I hope you get a chance to check out all of his older videos 😃🙌
Welcome to this world.
Lucky, so many videos to binge.
Warning ! Xander's videos are very addicted...You start to see the first, you need to see the others. There are no end. Perhaps this guy is very attractive too 😅😅. I think so.
Same! ♡
Got to be the best intro ever haha
Great performance 🎭
Now he just need a buzz cut and some military training lol
Classic Xander
Great intro. How you gonna top it
He was acting his ass off and we loved it
An amazing island adventure Xander. Such a different experience and appreciate being able to see what a different part of the world is like. Well done on your survival skills and I hope you had no further digestive issues
What an awesome test of your ability to adapt and thrive! Great photo journalism as usual. Thanks Xander!
My primary takeaway from this video is simply how much time and effort it takes a "primitive man" to simply not die. You spend the majority of your waking moments just trying to get water and food and not be killed by the elements. Quite amazing and a real testament to how impactful the concept of cultivating plants and animals was. Without that, we'd still all be scrabbling for the basics.
Agreed
With tools.
One needs to realize just how lucky our ancestors were to survive in ancient times with just bare hands sticks n stones
@@johnfranktullo3463 you underestimate our ancestors and our potential, it was not "lucky". like those that say humans without guns are nothing. we killed mamooths with spears for fks sake, there is no luck involved.
@@XxvoleistulxX true but what was the ratio ? What was the end effect yes u had meat but u had lots of injuries and death
Some things I learned: Xander is way more jacked than I thought, tropical suits him more than I would have thought, he needs to do some more of these long form video's where he's out of the snow and Canadian outback, he's funnier than I thought too. Good stuff Xander!
He’s definitely not unattractive
@@fivemjs Lmao thats definitely underselling it, man crush right there
Do you fancy him?
@@schmatever i want him on my bed 💕
He’s going to be completely bald soon
Love that smile in the end, you can tell how excited he is to go back home
I love these deserted island survival things. I hope you keep doing more of this.
I watched this with my little boy (6). He asked loads of questions and we learned a lot from your good example. Inspiring work you do showing those survival skills and your constructive attitude. Thanks.
Xander is one of the best out there. Funny and smart.
The poop tips are the best, even @ middle age.

1 and a half hours, what a treat
for real man, love these
And I still wish it was a longer video
Felt like 1 and a half hours of watching him cutting coconuts open though.
@@louisonSCO49 yes lol chop chop chop chop chop chop lol
Yep
My first video of yours I had no idea what this even was. It was so interesting, relaxing and beautiful. Can’t wait to see more of your stuff. ❤
Awesome to see how far your videos have come. I hope to see more of this and more of you out in the canadian wilderness. Absolutely loved this one.
53:32- 54:06 is why I watch. Every other survival/camping content creator seems so serious, but Xander gives all of his videos a great lightheartedness that I really enjoy!
Yes bro, thats why i love watching xander too
dont forget 49:20 "oh i love it theyre so good" :D
This.
Absolutely..he just has a diff vibe. Been following him since ages ago.
1:26:27 -1:27:47 😂😂😂
A full-length Xander surviving on a deserted, tropical island movie!! Thank you for the treat, brother 😃🥥🏝
Thank you CZcams algorithm!! I discovered Xander an amazing guy!! You absolutely rock man ..the quality of these vids is insanee
Yes, I for one am taking a pause and enjoying the view. Looking good! ❤
I love my boy Xander. Drinks 90 coconuts over the course of three days and thinks the reason he has stomach problems is he may have accidentally had some fresh sushi.
Your videos are next level my man. Starting to remind me of Survivorman.
There’s no evidence than coconut water is bad for you or causes diarrhea
yah the magnesium content in cocwater will mess up your shits for sure
haha at the start of the video I remember hearing some where to much coconut can cause diarrhea esp if eating them too. But I'll admit I thought it was the fish that caused the runs.
Yeah, raw meat isn't going to hurt you at all if it's from a natural healthy animal. I've been eating raw animal foods for years and I've never been sick a single time.
If I was in his position I'd have ate at least one of those fishes raw, there's actually more nutrients in it raw than there is cooked. I also just prefer raw meat but yeah.
@@psychedelaholicLmao this is the worst take I've ever seen.
I remember in a video long ago, Xander said he figured out what to do on the channel. First he would explore the outback, then get a car to explore North America, then a boat to explore the world. The finally he would get a spaceship to explore the universe. He is 3/4 so far, don't underestimate this guy. He'll go where no one else has one day!
5 days is barely any time. Gay
@@TheRealATkeyboard warrior
@@zarcxyn I put myself on a remote island with nothing and I’ve built a computer from nothing but things I’ve found. What have you done with your life??
@@TheRealAThe's probably done a lot better than making childish and bs comments on people's awesome CZcams content. I bet that all you really have done is switch on and off a computer in your parents house that your mum paid for and continually tells you to stop using and go out into the real world and get a life.
I hope you make some friends one day you sad soul.
Bye.
@@TheRealAT no one asked or cares
Awesome video and experience! Thanks for this new angle and massive amount of edited footage! Yes coconut water in quantity gives the runs. Add the fiber from the coconut meat and there you have it.
That intro was hilarious 😂 you are one off my inspiration to start my own chanel. Couple videos out. Lot to learn and i love it!
A really versatile guy. One video I’m watching you scarfing down 12 burritos. The next I’m seeing you survive on what you can find. Great video you truly don’t know what you’ll get here,I’m mean that in a great way. Much love and support.
Oh that 12 burrito feast was something to behold 😂. I don't know how he did it.
fajitas not burritos....lol!
@@krisgarwood5733 fajitas
Coconuts, like if you have more than four or so, are a natural laxative. Enjoy having your system purged! Great video, full movie length!
I was just going to post this. I got a little worried when he said that coconuts were going to be his main source of food and water, because I had a feeling this was going to happen!
Coconut Budnick
I was thinking the same thing lol.
Mainly the coconut flesh he ate causes that, not the water.
But that's not a bad thing doh
CZcamsr Field Days myth-busted that.
Thank you for this, i am currently away from my home village since Oct7 , im from lebanon, and been in a city since it started, this video reminded me of the beautiful nature around my home ❤
Drinking too much coconut water can cause diarrhea in some people. Coconut water is high in potassium, which can lead to an electrolyte imbalance and diarrhea if consumed in excess. Coconut water also contains fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), which are short-chain carbohydrates that can cause digestive issues like diarrhea.
In the beginning of drinking only coconut water lets say for survival, the electrolytes can cause a top down colonic rinsing out the small/large intestines. It's important to keep perspectives on things. After the intestines clean out old processed food/etc, the body can optimize its use of the coconut water & the body's digestion will adapt to the coconut water electrolytes.
True
I agree, coconut water can cause all these symptoms, it is much better to die of thirst or in this case drink sand
So too many powerade and Gatorade can cause diarrhea due to high electrolytes? Would explain why I rarely had a solid one while playing football, that and all the protein shakes mixed with raw eggs and chocolate milk of course
Why is this better than a movie? It’s so relaxing at the same time
41:48 someone know this sound or how many frequence? please this such my brain
@@muhammadhamzah6603what
yes yes, usually when you find yourself on an island alone, you always have a machete and a flashlight... batteries included
@@bananabringer9109Yeah, actually. Those would be pretty common items to have on a ship or boat. Something similar to a machete at least.
@SMAIYLKA 👋👍✌
dude you're my new fav person, thnx for being that kind of human
I remember a old scout master telling me that in a pinch you can sanitize water by leaving it in a clear bottle in the sun for a few days. Here in Florida we got swamps and over the corse of the camp out we each filled a gallon jug and let it settle we separated the clean water from the bio mud and then left the water in a clear jug for a day and drank it and it was just fine.
From a Canadian- Caribbean Island boy, seeing you use the bamboo to pick the coconuts made me smile as it's how we get them in the Caribbean. Just one piece of advice for the future. We attach a blade to the end of the stick to cut them (and other fruits) down from the tree(s). Thanks for the vid budz.
My parents were on the same course as you and they have been very excitedly waiting for this video. We've just sat down and watched it whilst we had dinner, and they paused the video every 5 mins to tell me about their experience 😂
Thanks Trina - thought we were playing it cool but obviously not 🤣
Y'all are cool 😎 @@WildlyCurious
First video I've ever seen of Xander, and definitely not the last. Such a dope video !!
Xander my boy keep pumping these videos out I wish I was able to do half the stuff you do just mainly because I don’t have the time but I love your channel brother keep on pushing
Yes, friend. You might be scrolling through the comments, like me, reading all these motivational comments. If you're reading this at night, you should get some sleep and not stress about everything going on in the world or what you're going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress about your future. Just live your life, because you only have one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what others want from you.
I just opened this video and you were the first motivational comment! Thanks, really needed it. I’m gonna go to sleep… after watching this video and reading all the comments.
Real n true firm handshakes 🤝
That’s really sweet. This unexpected reminder was really helpful, thank you :)
Thanks much, really needed that.✍️🥇
Thank you❤
That was insane Xander! I always thought the show “Survivor” should be more about your adventure and less about stabbing each other in the back. I figured you’d elevate your sleeping off of the earth due to the crabs and pests but you did alright. I think your stomach issues were less about the fish and more about the coconuts. Glad you brought us along for the adventure!
Yeah coconut make you go bathroom
@@terryhuggins9199 It's just indigestible fiber.
Are you simple? 18 coconuts in one day??!! 😂 this dude's videos are an absolute lie
@@adamnolton388 Why do you say that? Have you seen his other videos?
@@adamnolton388this guy is legit lmao
Solid video man, great adventure. Love that you're reppin' MEC as well. Hi from Ottawa.
It would be cool to see you back at the hotel after a trip getting good food and cleaned up and the appreciation you have for it after not having it. Also this is the first video ive watched of yours. I will definitely being going down the list now. Glad i found this. I love the long form videos like this.
Oh hell yeah 5 minutes after I wake up this drops. What a great way to start my Saturday morning.
SAME thing bro, thats sooooo good
Better than Sat. morning cartoons!!! 😁
Next time - attach the 3 point spear head to the bamboo pole - and now you have a coconut picker! Love the vids as always keep it up brudda
now thats an idea
Won't last long doing that, best use it for what it's intended for or lose it.
@@onepup-pr3yl it will def last. Especially for a 5 day trip LOL go debby downer someone else's comment bro
Imagine if you poked the coconut deep with that prong and it gets stuck and detached from the bamboo 😂
thought the same!
Awesome video mate! Congrats on surviving the 5 days!
Best desert island youtube content I've seen and you actually managed to start a bow drill fire 👍🏻
Just waiting for that Nat Geo sponsor now. Dude needs his own high production crew. I WANT MORE "Surviving with Xander"
At least this way I believe in the veracity of the videos hhh
Doesn't need a crew. Just the sponsorships.
No production crew...
Les stroud did it all great canadain to watch.
Production crews would absolutely ruin it. Go watch “reality TV” if you want that kind of content.
My favourite survival content is "island with nothing surviving" but you made me love "geared camping/surviving" but this that you do my favourite content and its YOU, MY GOD you are the BEST❤
Excellent video, Xander! You're looking strong as anything man, the ants and hermits fear thee.
Thank you for taking us with you. Epic adventure.
In Australia we also call a Trigger Fish a Leather Jacket. Best way to get to the meat is to peel the leather off / skin it. From the head to the tail. Pretty simple once you know how. Awesome video and good to see you exploring outside of your own backyard (Canada).
Yea leather jackets good eating just skinning them is pain in the butt
@@matt948 Very good eating, I used to make sure they were super dry, easier to grip when skinning.
You did a great job surviving on an island for 5 days without anything but limited tools...Coconut for 5 days is what makes you a survivor...I'm a fan from the Philippines💯💪
This is your best video yet! Great work!
Hey Xander! Loved the video, I've done quite a bit of wilderness survival, and I've always found it helpful to hang any food that the ants may want in a tree! You can make a simple container by using the palm leaves, I'm sure you can figure something out better than I did, but I found they weave quite nicely!
12:27 that bird diving in for a fish is a sick shot
or that close one lol 32:44
Iaorana (Bonjour)Xander
Thank you for this amazing video. Surviving in tropical islands seems easier than you thought...You are Lucky to be in an island where there are coconut trees. This tree offers you life. Eating nuts, drinking water, building hut with leaves...Hope you will find also tropical fruit trees inside the island. Hope as well you will make a mat with coconut leaves, you need practice for that. Here are some advices : 1-Not drinking too much coconut water, more you drink more you will never be satisfied. 2-Make fire smoke to distant mosquitos 3-Use Hermite crabs to catch fish. Big friendly hugs from Tahiti French Polynesia. Have a good and safe trip stunning Xander.😊
TFP sooo beautiful!!
I am coconut producer and drink ONLY coconuts (from 6 to 10 every day): absolutly no any problèm (and I am not alone to do this)
@@thaiinfranceReally !!! It depends of the sort of coconut and how u drink it. Look at Xander how many coconuts He has drunk to be satisfied...
i got caught OFF guard when i saw him washing up the shore LOL
One of your most stimulating videos Xander. You sure get into some cool situations. Hope your guts healed well man.
Coconut water is a diuretic, so while it does have a bunch of nutrients (though not all the nutrients you need), it isn't sustainable for long-term hydration. For that, you likely need to find a freshwater source you can pot and boil or create a solar still to convert seawater to drinkable water, both of which are easier said than done.
As for nutrients, if you add cooked clams or crabs and seaweed to your coconut diet that should satisfy the full repertoire of nutrients your body needs to survive indefinitely.
Finally, just as a general rule for survival: never sweat more than you can afford. Always try to figure out how to do the most you can with the least amount of work. Our strength as humans is in our brains first and our persistence second.
The body gets adapted to coconut water in survival situations. In my view, coconut water becomes the perfect survival food & drink, after the body adapts from eating processed modern foods/products/etc. Initially, coconut water rinses out the intestines of old junk, it's important to keep perspectives, as the body will be adjusting from modern foods/drinks. After the body let's go of old waste rinsed by the coconut water, then the body can acclimate to utilizing the coconut water hydration etc. Many of the "concepts" society shares about health and survival are full of distorted misinformation. In general, when humans are suddenly put into survival mode, the body often goes through a cleansing process, where it let's go of old waste - can include diarrhea, fevers, etc as the body let's go of old toxic modern addictive processed foods & products. A living body is always in adaptive transition with its changing environment
@SMAIYLKA
Or make a fresh water source. if beach combing for supplies didn't turn upuseful items, that blanket would have worked with some cordage as an evaporator/solar still to make fresh water.
in our country we carve mini steps on the trunk of the coconut trees so we can get a better grip on our foot
when climbing.
Wouldn't that hurt the tree? just wondering
@@dennisbagatin4480 not really since it dries up quickly and it doesnt release any sap, the steps were not that deep its just so your feet could get a better grip. its 1-2
inch deep
yup we do that as well 👍
That's awesome. Learn something new every day.
Yup, that's how it's done. Only had to deal with the ants on top. That's the worst, btw.
I came across your videos tonight and watched three , really enjoyed watching them , thanks ☺️
I love you Xander and love you more than you know, I admire your strength with everything I witness through many videos that make me love you even more. That's why I think on every trip like this you should always prepare a box of emergency food and water for the worst cases. Of course when making videos you still respect the spirit of the experience but still need an emergency box for the worst cases. Always love you! ❤
Dude, I just stumbled across your video, that was amazing, you did really well
Xander, the effort you put into this whole production, the filming of the event, constant camera adjustments to capture worthy footage for us viewers, not to mention the island survival itself - it’s insane, massive kudos to you sir!
he makes money from it bro
@@bawseeeee602 We know bro, just want to express opinions. Our views make him money
He is playing in the Island with so many food to eat.
@@jobelgarcela9944 I mean yeah. it wouldn't be as cool to watch if he just straight up starved the whole time.
Sometimes when I have trouble going to sleep, I play out in my mind a fantasy where I wash up on the beach and have to survive. Your adventure was a lot like that, so fun and refreshing! Loved it! Thanks for the effort Xander.
I thought I was the only one who did this 😆
Lol same bro, same.
Wow, you are really great at surviving on the island, or in the jungle , keep your spirits up brother🎉
i loved this video, im glad you got to share this video with us. also this video was eye opening, this world is so beautiful, and it really makes me sad seeing all those water bottle on the shore from us. just makes me realize how much we are damaging this beautiful planet we call home. i also loved the start of the video with him getting washed up on shore. 🤣 subbed and liked the video 🔥
stepping up the camping game....dont let the tropics fool anyone...it can be harsh if you dont know how to fend properly. I was born and raised in Tonga...I watch you call coconuts ripe.... the ripe ones are the old ones. the young ones are the sweeter ones...typically heavier too. Great stuff my friend..!
I just gulped some water from my water bottle halfway into this video and realized it!
Man we take everything for granted.
Love your videos❤️
Please don't beat the fish like that
@@AmirAhmed-hb1zebruh your replying to a comment. And also is he supposed to make the fish suffocate? Or burn it alive? You cray.
@SMAIYLKA
Watching this video makes me wonder how on earth our prehistoric ancestors survived because every minute of every day revolved around finding water, food and just surviving.
literally started feeling so thirsty and watching it sipping from my bottle lol
Damn! This content is GOLD! 😊 Thank you, man 😊 Stay blessed 😊
I appreciate you putting out the fire, a lot of people will just leave fires, even an old camping buddy of mine just didn't care. Gotta make sure its cool to the touch, don't wanna destroy an entire island
I love the big outdoors, but life with a multi handicapped child is restrictive to say the least.. but being able to take a few short breaks here and there with our regality and being able to watch your great content Xander is refreshing. please, never stop what you are doing. you are not only entertaining but also a safe haven for people like me :)

Awesome video as always 👌 wish I had seen it sooner...back paddling poop tip #2 got me 86'd from the wave pool at the Waterpark...
I usually don't leave comments on CZcams videos, but this one was a masterpiece. I love watching your videos while having brunch or before falling asleep, since the music you use and the scenery you capture are mesmerizing. However, this one kept me awake for the entire length.
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts!
See them all a standing in a row!
best intro to a survival vid i’ve ever seen absolutely not unnoticed!
I love these stuck on an island videos. The first thing they always do is get coconuts and say they need to drink a lot of them.... that is the worst idea. You can drink 1 or 2 a day, and you might not get diarrhea after 3 days, but any more than that, and you are asking for trouble. Your best thing to do is find a way to boil the coconut water off and distill it to have as pure water from it as possible, then shred the coconut meat and soak it in the water to make coconut milk. Don't toss the shredded coconut meat, but cook it in a pan like you are making pancakes out of it and add a little coconut milk to it, and you will have a sweet coconut meat cookie. It will give you much more out of it than just some coconut water and some dry coconut meat, and you will have less of a chance of getting diarrhea from it.
You can also get coconut oil from the milk if you let it sit overnight. Just like with real milk and cream. The oil, though it looks more like shortening, then it does oil, can be used to cook as well as fry other things you intend to cook, adding not only flavor but essential vitamins and minerals.
Yes, the coconut is a power food on Islands like this, but only if you process it properly. Though in such a short challenge like this, you could just drink the water to your hearts content and deal with the diarrhea when you are back home and safe, but then again, this is supposed to be a survival challenge and you should be showing proper survival methods even if it is only for a handful of days.
Well, at least you have some floater material with those Crocs as they are the worst footwear to have in a survival situation but work great to make floaters or used in a fire to make a signal as they burn and make some nasty black smoke. You are better off with some water socks as a spare set of footwear, but even they are a bit of a bad idea. You are better off with boots and tennis shoes but water socks are a good choice if you want at least a little foot protection in the water and that dry out fast.
How not to use your knife..... getting Limpets off rocks. You have plenty of materials laying around including two toothbrushes that you can use to get the Limpets off the rocks. Cut off the bristles, as you don't have a fire yet, should have done that the first day, then use the rocks to sand the brush end down till you have a flat spade and use that to get under the Limpets' shells and save you knife for something it should be used for.
I think you are thinking of Captain Cook not Columbus.
ok
The only person to point out the fact that you can’t live off coconuts for hydration
Was wondering how he’s not had the shits. Must of cut those bits out
I think it’s funny that you’re sitting at home telling the person who is actually doing it how to do it. Also it’s a misconception that you can get diarrhea from coconut water. Most people will not experience any diarrhea
Watched this with my missus;
“He has big arms!”
“I love his sense of humour”
“I bet he has the sweetest parents”
She enjoyed it too ;) great stuff as always Xander, that must have been tough but your perseverance and positivity is awesome to see
😂😂
Glad you enjoyed yourself Xander. You are looking well these days and settled. Love to you dear boy. Keep on doing what you’re doing ❤
Felt like I was there myself…brilliant video, thanks for posting.
I really enjoyed this video of your stay on the island. You did very well indeed. Thank you.
I absolutely loved this video! Thanks for taking us with you on this journey Xander.
I’d love to see you do more stuff like this in the future.
The coconut water is causing your tummy issues. Caribbean resorts actually limit pina coladas due the diarrhetic effects.
Felt so nice watching your survival. I learned a lot
1st time watching. wasn't sure at 1st. but good for you!! watched to the end. you almost made it fun to get lost !!!lol:)
You're an inspiration man. Tremendous grit and perseverance with a genuinely chill attitude. And you brought it to us with amazing footage. Thanks comrade!
I feel like the only time I have a true escape from everything negative in my life is when I watch these videos it’s the only time I feel relaxed when I feel like nothing I watch xander. Thank you
Awesome video as always dude. Small fun fact,those trigger fish are some of the best eating meat in the ocean,they are truly delicious,and amazing as sashimi! Much love brother keep doing awesome stuff
Xander - I've been a subscriber for a very long time and you've put out so many amazing videos and experiences. This has gotta be my favorite one thus far. Incredible.
Just watched the full thing. This was amazing. Such a good vid (as usual). This may be your best yet.
my absolute favorite thing after being out camping for a while and being dehydrated is once getting back to town, first stop is to Sonic to get a bag of their ice, and I'll just sit around drinking ice water and eating ice. If you ever get a Sonic sponsorship, shoutout their ice lol, best ice ever.
Loved it. From a kind of a misfit in modern society, this allowed me to dream and get a break ❤
MORE OF THIS!!! I could watch this style stuff for hours. Literally. Survivorman type stuff is by far best.
Try looking at field days, he does this kind of stuff
