This 1944 black-and-white film is the second part “Castaway” - a Willard Pictures creation for the Bureau of Aeronautics. It continues to follow a downed pilot, who after being adrift at sea for several days finds his way to a dry island. “The hunt for food is on and you’re not overlooking anything,” the narrator immediately explains at mark 00:10 at the pilot walks along the shoreline, picking up snails, scallops, and conch. Sleep envelops the pilot but by mark 1:30 he is back along the shore and comes across a pandanus tree with fruit high up on the trunk. He sets out on the ocean again at mark 02:35 only to have his raft (and his legs) punctured by a coral reef as he makes his way to another island. After tending to his wounds the pilot and getting some rest, he suddenly awakes at mark 07:00 to sounds of the tropics, as the narrator assures him that “they don’t mean a thing.” Gathering coconuts follows, with a reminder to the film’s pilot (and the viewer) that coconuts that have fallen to the ground are mature … and that the milk inside can work as a powerful laxative. After learning the proper way to crack into a coconut at mark 11:11, the pilot patches his raft at mark 12:40 (carefully explaining it to the audience in the process) and recalls which tropical plants are edible - and how to cook them.
Dinner is interrupted at mat 17:20 as the pilot catches a glimpse of an island native in the tall grass. “Be friendly. Show him you’re not afraid. Remember, they’re afraid of you, too,” the pilot reminds himself, and is soon offering his new friend a cigarette. “Natives are sticklers for ceremony and like to take their time. Get acquainted first,” the narrator adds at mark 18:45, explaining how you should try to develop some form of communication - even something as simple as tending to a wound. By mark 27:00, their new friendship has grown and led to contact with the outside world, as the pilot is finally rescued.

The Native saying “hello” back is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
AND being introduced immediately to smoking cancer! ;)
That's better than him saying "hey guys, dinner has arrived "
@@Richard-zc1cj LOL X)
"Me fix, me fix" lmao
@@SoapinTrucker ohhh cut it out …. Native Americans have been smoking for millennia
Imagine going through all this and being incredibly lucky to survive and when you finally receive a miracle and get back home they immediately send you back out to fight.
Not hard to imagine. Think they would send you home mid war?
You haven't watch Unbreakable don't ya
@@lordjor96 best book ever!
And you end up right back on the same island. That's gonna be one confused native...
That leg probably earned him a couple of weeks’ or months’ worth of rest
I'm really surprised by how good this is made, enjoyed it like a film
Same here
I suspect that was the intention, so you would watch and pay attention.
Hollywood industry was implied in the war effort, would not be surprised technician, scenarist or filmmakers from there are part of this film
It was really good. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to have the guy get a stick on the first island and make his hand paddles into a kayak paddle. He would have been able to cover at least 5 times more water in a day.
him making the best of it food wise reminds me of something my mom's pastor said..he said "Sure, steak is nice,but sometimes corn bread and pinto beans,if that's all you can afford, really hits the spot"
These films are so optimistic, assuming everything is going to go your way. Steamed lobster, clams and scallops, coconuts, bananas, drinkable water only three feet down, and a friendly native out of the jungle to help you get home before suppertime! In the real world things were much different. This guy was one in ten thousand.
Still fun to watch and much appreciated.
It was a training film so it is likely they tried to cover as wide a variety of possible foods sources that may be encountered.
What they don't tell you is that most habitable islands have pigs coconuts and breadfruit in the tropical Pacific. The Polynesians put them all over during their sailing trips for the future.
Actually pilots that reached an island had a lot better chance of being recovered than one in ten thousand.
This was a training film. The island natives were very helpful because the Japanese mistreated them so much.
Americans were very generous with folks that helped pilots.
A lot of personnel did much better than this training film. Most found friendly natives...
If you were adrift in the ocean ? Yeah you had a hard time..
The object of the training films were to show what was possible and to instill confidence and hope.
Lack of hope is a deadly enemy.

There's an odd beauty in this. A time where the world was bigger and also accessible.
WingsOf Plankton so true !
Accessible how?
Bigger makes sense - when so much wasn't widely known, and no google satellite maps to poke around, there was for sure more of a sense of wonder.
But global travel is pretty accessible, no?
Ens. Carter and his Man Monday got back together after the war to open up Castaway Island Tours. They lived happily ever after.
I'd like to see that movie! Kinda like Donovan's Reef.
so glad to hear the happy couple are doing well. Mazel Tov! **lol.**
This was one of the best films like this I have ever seen.
Me too. Periscope has plenty of examples of these. Also archive.org , free to download for use when youre not online. The best part? 100% legal and encouraged to share. God bless public domain films. Theres also full length movie classics, tv shows too.
Cheers
Oh yeah, this was absolutely intriguing movie. Way better than modern movies out there and i mean it
The acting and premise is really well done in comparison to others. They must have been going all out on the budget at the time
This...was actually surprisingly entertaining.
I mean 21 days on "Naked and afraid" would be easy after this series of instructionals.
I like war training film more than hollywood movies .. thanks for uploading bro
My brother told me if they showed you how to make do in Tahiti you would be stranded in Kodiak,,
The airman's kindness reminded me of a verse from the Bible "Be ye kind unto strangers..for in doing so, some of you have entertained angels unawares"
The best sequel to anything ever.
Everyone understands English if you speak it slowly
chuck keeler and loud with plenty of hand gestures.
We believe that here in Texas.
Like Scotty kilmer
It's the second easiest language to learn next to Spanish. Try to learn Chinese or Greek dialects if you don't believe me
Joseph Kool as an Spaniard I can confirm that
I saw this the first time when I was 8. My dad would bring movies home and show them to my brothers boy scout patrol. I would sit and watch them from the back of the room. I learned a lot as a young boy.
I know this place, there is a Hilton little further down the beach.
I bet. Just beyond the dunes and 'the native' is a resort employee.
Like in that Huey Lewis music video
They don't take American Express though.
In his Good Eats series, Alton Brown does a show on tropical foods, pretending he's stranded on a Pacific Island. At the end, he gets busted for poaching a pineapple off the Dole plantation.
My father was in the RCAF, then the Canadian Navy as a pilot. One day he brought home a survival film similar to this, about a pilot who crashlands in a Canadian winter. It had a HUGE effect on me...
You'll like this one then, if you haven't come across it already..
👇👇😁👍

Was it a movie or an actual training film ? Would love to know more . Its not easy to find canadian stuff
@@guycalgary7800 an actual training film. I loved it.
the long dark :)
This seems like the most chill, life threatening experience
When I was a kid I read my Dad’s WW2 survival manual- “Survival on Land and Sea”. A great book
Have you used it?
This has the feel of an old pulp adventure novel or one of those 1930s exotic adventure travelogues. The reality could likely be a lot grimmer, but this little film is sort of charming.
Plot twist: the government man turns out to be a Japanese soldier.
rockstarJDP lmao
He never did specify what government did he?
Yeah, either that or gov.man shoots native dead for running up on him. And why would they send a freaking plane for him when he's that close to an outpost?
One important thing to remember during survival training... pay attention! After 60-years I still remember the training I got during Navy boot camp.
Carter still on the island - no virus there and doesn't even need toilet paper.
As a WW2 collector my specialty is survival equipment. The Navy's backpack kit which I have is pretty comprehensive. The Army had several kits from the E-17 which is a two flasks and mirror to the C-1 vest (there were 3 variants during the war). They also had a pack kit attached to the chute harness the B-3 (2 variants). The biggest difference was the navy didn't carry ammo but all the Army ones did carry 45 ammo. The E17 had a better med kit than any of them. It was a veritable pharmacy in one flask alone. As a collector with these complete kits it's interesting to see the different branches thoughts on survival.
This is an interesting look at a survival kit from from Steve1989MRE. Lots of items included.
czcams.com/video/CKUcFhJLm34/video.html
Yes, check out Steve1988MRE I think you will find his channel interesting.
Sweet
It’s not so much what they “thought “ about survival.
Different services had different missions. What was appropriate for an Army infantryman who most likely would be on the ground in close proximity to other GI’s. Whereas a Navy flier might touch down alone on an uninhabited island somewhere requiring different equipment. Each service wanted their member to survive just as much as the next. It’s just that different needs have to be met by the type of missions they perform.
In the Navy in 73-74, we were replenishing some old ww2 survival kits with new ones. The old ones were all intact, except for the morphine. They were all missing. Funny how the new replacements didn't have them. Just midol and tylenol.
I learned a few things about coconuts that could save my life possibly.
I had it backwards, I thought green coconuts gave you the shits.
I'm gonna start carrying green coconuts in my bug-out bag :)
1 Carter should have gone hunting for that cat someone stepped on at 7:12
What they didn't tell you Carter. Was when you didn't land back at base or carrier. All your underwear socks and shirts were claimed by the rest of your fighter group.
You now spend at least 3 days trying to get something else wear.
(That's according to Greg "Pappy" Boyington. Who I had the honor of getting to know. )
LOL.. You won internet a year later.....
Excellent film , just the right amount of humour and factual info
This pilot VERY lucky though..
@@francisphillips53 yeah, what did you expect them to show, the pilot dying after all his effort? This is a training film, it has to show you what to do and instill confidence. A soldier without hope is a dead soldier.
Nvm the blatant racism
I bet some real special friendships were made on these islands! Thank god the people on them were kind and looked after us!
I knew our boy Carter would make it
Been binging on these army survival films. I think they have a charm about them and they probably held the interest of the guys who were meant to watch and learn from them.
I like the sense of optism and can-do attitude. These films saved a lot of lives.

They had to have saved lives in all kinds of environments. There's another good WWII aviator survival film out there that the Army made--pretty similar to this one--on how to survive if your plane goes down in the Arctic, and another one for the desert.
would you have a link to the one in the arctic@@galoon would be much appreciated :)
After watching the first half of this film a year or two back, have been looking forward to seeing this second half. Thank you kindly for posting it. The survival technics they taught back then were the basic and essentials skills needed. Calm thinking and patience will get you through.
plus the movie is better than half the shit on TV these days!
Ditto. I've been waiting to see the second part of this survival series for at least a year or more.
Yep. Slow down. Think. Don’t waste energy and anticipate what could go wrong before it does.
I think I learned how to climb a palm tree from watching this.
That Navy issue survival kit was impressive, considering how much stuff was included in a relatively small pack.
Check out Steve1989 here on CZcams. He did a review of it. He's one of my favorite channels.
@@TraceyAllen Yep, saw that one. Very informative.
While on the rescue plane..... Oh crap! It’s going down. Where’s my gear? Oh wait, I gave it to the native.
josh3326 and don't you just know they took it out of his pay?
josh3326, I thought the same thing. However on further thought, there should be more survival gear on the airplane.
@@MissMarinaCapri Downed in the drink twice in the same week! - but just think the survial pay will be doubled!
@@EddieVBlueIsland that plane floats...
Got a laugh out of that one!
With my luck.....the native would say, " No want Marlboro, my tribe only smoke Newports."
Those were Camels.......lol...
Ganja
I have never smoked a cigarette but when I was little and they still had cigarette vending machines I would allways pull out the Camel button just becsue of the artwork..
It has to be the most artists and interesting packaging..
@@siddokis2945 they didn't have Weed on these islands..
They would drink a narcotic made from a crushed root in water..
From memory it would cause them to have rashes with long use ..
The same or similar to Kava..
I have had Kava in a low dose and it's a very calming feeling..
You can buy it in capsules in some countries for relaxation and sleep but they are only small doses compared to people drink large amounts of the stuff..
It's supposed to taste like mud..
I've been binge-watching these old World War Two informational films so long now, I almost understand when it's most appropriate to call someone "brother," or when "Mac" is the preferred term.
Amazing how he stays clean shaven throughout!
Maybe he found a razor clam.
Folk really enjoyed the coconut shoe music and started making their own coconut clothes, hats, cats, dogs and dentures. Thank you coconut music person.
Just a castaway. An island, lost at sea. Another lonely day, no one here but me. More loneliness than any man could bear. Rescue me before I fall into despair.
*arpeggiated add9 power chords intensify*
Dang! James Franco has been in the movie business longer than I thought! Who'd of thought that he got his start acting in Navy training films during WWII.
"I better hit the sack before I get the jungle jitters!"
diplomacy at its finest..i wish all of us could work together like this
These two films must have taken a lot of time and effort to make!
I wonder were they filmed it..
Off Florida, I don't think anywhere else in US waters would have such plant life etc..
They could have filmed it at a US colony but that would have just increased the expense and risk..
Go for it Carter! Win the war!
"just get through the husk until you get to the nut". Everything reminds me of her. 😔
This is better than most current movie releases!
That guy was lucky. I don't want to know how many brave airmen vanished in the vast Pacific Ocean while desperately trying to survive.
After Midway, very few.
Unless you were spotted.
The Raft gave them some chance to survive.
"It's been 16 hours and no rescue plane yet--Aww, stop thinking like that!" Monitoring negative thinking.
"More time for a fun camping trip!"
Really enjoyed this one,takes me back to my service days...this was well made and interesting
Thanks for your service to our great nation.
12:30 Poor Madaline ...that coral sure done you wrong. LOL
This video was entertaining -- and somewhat informative.
Makes me want to play the survival video game called "Stranded Deep",
I was reminded of the Volleyball on Castaway. WILSON!!!
That moment when you get shot down from your plane, make it to land, meet a native that somehow knows some english, give him a cigarette, and get him to help you
At least the Navy had a sense of humor. Go get em, Carter!
How did Carters wife get on the same island (7:03)?
@@jupitercyclops6521 better question is how did MY ex-wife get there? 🤔
Can’t believe he washed his face in his drinking water
I thought the same thing--he could have washed in Sea water.
Seriously?
I mean ... I get it, but that isn't even close to the worst of what I seen him doing on this video.
@@mxplk Washing in salty seawater is not very satisfactory. Washing in the freshwater is how you get the salt and beach sand off of your skin. Of course, this is a training film, but the assumption is that he now has plenty of drinking water.
@@charlesaanonson3954 Thanks for your civil reply--rare in CZcams Land!
@@mxplk This is correct form, sea water is bad for your skin, even more so in tropical climates. He did the right thing, this is survival.
Nice. When a coconut spouts you can pull it up eat the meat. Cooked it’s like bread. To husk a brown nut I place them bump side down on a nice hard place and drop a heavy rock on it and the husk shatters and is pealed off easily not too hard or you will crack the nut. It uses less energy. Smack the nut on the trunk of the tree and you can pop out the plug and drink right away. Bump end up.
Loved this film! Actually learned something.
Tom Hanks looks different ... And so does Wilson !!!
Nope, that was Friday.
THANK YOU!!!! (btw Steve1989 does a full review of a WW2 “over water, tropical” survival kit)
Nice hiss!
One of the very rare times smoking saves lives. haha
No it save my boss life everyday
The Bushes he set up his water catch is called Sea Grape. If some are ripe they are good. Lots of food there.
The easy way to husk a coconut is to set it on its three knobs like a football on something hard and drop something heavy in it and the brown husk shatters.
That's how I opened coconuts when I was staying down in the Abaco Islands. Food was expensive as hell so I snacked on the free coconuts, which were everywhere! I'd prop one up between two cinder blocks, then smack it with another cinder block until the husk cracked open.
Tells native: "I will return in 1946 with big atomic thunder to test on your atoll". Gives him a pat on the back and a wave goodbye.
BEEN TOLD SURVIVAL KITS NOW COME EQUIPPED WITH 1 NATIVE.
I choose a female native if given a choice.
Not too young,not so old...just right.
Oh,she's gotta be able to cook.
@@feellucky271 she come with a coconut bra?
@@BigboiiTone Preferable maybe yeah.
I'd like that as long as she's comfortable.Doubt it would be for long tho.ha
Great thing about living just west of Orlando.Surrounded by water on 5 sides....well only 3 really but 5 sounded really cool I thought.ha
I made a post and it disappeared.
I mean, it already includes an inflatable. You just need a little imagination. "What do you think that ointment is for, axle grease?"
WILSOOOOOON!!!!!!!!
It's VOIT, dumbass..........Family Guy, I think...........
I really question his decision to put back to sea in 'Madeline!' That thing deflates and he's a dead man. On the island he has water, food, shelter. Seems insane to risk dangerous currents and weather!
My first thought too, but that might depend overmuch on over-flights for rescue, rather than contact with other people. And island resources would only last so long. Plus it was "only" five miles, right? lol Edit: On the other hand, dragging the raft around and sleeping on it, really had me scratching my head.
The Navy wants you to survive and get back into the fight, not sit out the war on a tropical island, so of course the hero of the story is going to be on a relentless mission to return to duty.
An interesting movie:
Three men survive 34 days on raft in the South Pacific.
See:
AGAINST THE SUN.
Navy, 1942, WWII.
All that & he made a Friend!
One on One Diplomacy!
As Carter wends his way off into the sunset, an enterprising Kandoo contemplates his dream of setting up a bustling war surplus business on Wango island where he does a brisk trade with rescued Japanese and American naval aviators.
9:30 while he's looking for coconuts I'm thinking about the tide carrying off his shoes...
Me too!
Doubt they swim. They probably house some crabs now.
What they don't show is Carter at CIF attempting to explain why he can't turn in his items that were lost at sea. Statement of charges coming his way.
The "native" can speak and magically understand english simply by having sounds he has never heard before repeated to him
Seems to me that puts him on the genius side of the IQ scale
My kids use words everyday that I haven't got the foggiest clue what they mean and they're in there 20's
Many of the Pacific Island were claimed or visited by the Royal Navy and American whalers. Pidgin English was a thing on hundreds of these islands, from New Guinea, Palau, the Solomons, Fiji to Samoa.
Wango island is part of the Solomon islands near Australia. Australia did have some stations in the Solomons. So it is highly likely that Kundu did have some familiarity with the English language.
Occasionally, some South Sea islanders had encountered European missionaries. Not every island would have been so visited, but some were.
Notice how he sent a letter to the goverment person..
That would have been and Australian or American working with the islanders on the island..
They would spy on Japanese ships and planes and if the Japanese took the island they would go into the inland and use gorilla attacks against the Japanese..
That's how they would have been able to handle basic English..
From memory the Australians called them Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel's..
They had a lot of respect for them...
"Everyone knows English"
On his way to Wango, he ran into Ted Nugent on Tango!
And was shot by an arrow, gutted, and strung up to cure. Hahaha
Thankfully I learned differance between cocunuts on ground versus ones in the tree and how to correctly open them!
Yeah, that was all news to me! I've eaten coconuts off the ground before, but luckily didn't end up with diarrhea.
ahh yes the faithful native that speaks english but fr this acting is pretty good compared to some of the movies now and is really good for the 40s GG Carter
Carter will always remember savoring that cigarette he enjoyed, after the romantic lunch with his lonely native friend.
I always dig these old timey military training films. Informative and entertaining
I love watching this as I fall asleep. This is not a negative comment, I'm very exact to what is on falling asleep. Thanks.
I consider myself very lucky I never had to go thru this my respects to the people and our Nation!
Thank God for every break he gives US
I’ve got a 1942 chit, in pidgin English. “You muss hatim’ long ole Japan. Takim me gubman.” Grandpa carried it on every mission.
There was plenty of meat on the islander if the food situation got really desperate. =p
Scary thought!! Donner party.. pacific style!
Ya true...that ol islander was healthy...even needed a bra. ( or a bro/manzere)
maybe the islander was thinking the same thing ? or was a headhunter looking for a new head to harvest ?
Never eat your butler
Bit of Long Pig, not uncommon where he washed up
Love these wartime instructional videos. Give 'em hell!
I've always wondered how many lives coconuts have saved over the years.. food and drink in a portable container.. a very incredible tree..
How'd he get the lobster??
Lobsters sometimes wander onto land in serch of men to eat them as it is a lobster's life goal to be found and eaten by a human (so it's soul can be set free).
@@geigertec5921 ahhh okay, well I guess it makes sense then.. 😁 they do call lobsters the "knights of the ocean.."
Wes Steele that's nothing! I used to use plasma to get drugs!
Lobster trees are native to the Pacific Islands.
Just eat.
native Islanders know how to treat a wound. When the system labeled Indigenous people as primative/savage . It changed human consciousness to a paracitic consciousness.
Lets all hope this film inspires other lost military men now and in the future.
Two things extra I would do..
Use the sailcloth as a Spinnaker if the wind is behind you, not to big so as to risk loss or damage..
Use the raft, sailcloth and empty tin to convert Salt Water into free water, its not fast but in such heat it would produce enough...
NO! Not Madeline! She was so young.
@Sheila T. Yeah. And then it got caught on the rocks or whatever. Lol.
@Sheila T. Well enjoy. I really enjoyed this video personally.
If there was a native guy, then he should have been able to find a native woman too. That's how I'd spend the rest of the war.
A true patriot lol
I’d probably do the same
@@keepermovin5906 that happened very seldom i'd imagine! In the armed forces you are a one big family after all. It sounds crazy in peace time and For civilian but a soldier longs to be fighting, that what army does to Lost people
That was my thought too. Some of the Doolittle Raiders, once they crash landed in China were supposedly offered local women but chose not to take advantage. That's if you want to believe what was written in books
Green coconut water is still a laxative . Hes gonna get the shits every hour!
Great film thanks.
I think I saw that "native" on 125th street and Lennox Avenue.
Love this "training video". Has some Robinson Crusoe / Cast Away vibes
If you liked this film, check out Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964), a tale of survival that includes a native.
Great movie! You can watch it free on CZcams, too.
Awesome thank you for uploading this
Is this an actual movie? 'cause Carter's tale of survival and the coy narrator makes for actual entertainment
I thought I was watching an instructional video
I saw a Burger King wrapper beside the palm tree.
LoL.....
I really enjoy these old training films. What a window into the effort made to try and prepare our servicemen for such eventualities. I mean, going down over open ocean and having no idea what you might be in for would be a pretty bleak proposition. I’m gonna hazard a guess but the survival rate for this probably wouldn’t be too favorable either way. But at least it gave a guy some hope, and that’s a powerful ally in a survival situation. Thanks for the upload!
Love these old vids so entertaining
Glad the pilot received survival training and had the energy to hold-out until help arrived.
Gripping stuff. Really interesting.
(PS Part 3 has him training his monkey butler.)
Please tell me this wasn’t a comment on race
Great Film .I recomended to watch this🤗
I like it I love it I want more of it
21:12 Yea, that's how it works. Just speak the words slowly and loudly and they'll understand you...... Even if they don't speak or under stand the language you are speaking.
Just say the words slowly and loudly and all of a sudden they will understand your language.
The will when its an island with say an australian observer on the island living with the natives.. The person he call "goverment man"
They had such people on heaps on pacific Island living with natives.
They would watch patrols and radio in..
They would use the natives to spy and move around the island..
They would even do this on island that the Japanese had taken over.. Working with the natives to stay hidden from the Japanese..
My dad was caught in survival training picking no berries in Maine by the side of the road . He was sent to solitary confinement
I have opend coconuts like that for years! This was hilarious!
On the other side of the first island, there was some people named Gilligan, The Skipper, Mr and Mrs. Howell, Ginger, The Professor and MaryAnn.. There on Gilligan's Isle....
