- The Survival trip becomes a race for water and fire, nothing else seems overly important... once we have those sorted we can go catch a nice fish for the family back home. Hope you enjoyed this trip, something a little different to mix it up.

I’ve never thought seeing a man holding a brown colored water bottle could be so exciting for a thumbnail. I love this channel.
Was awesome to see one of these type of videos again. Glad you did it
Ikr?! I saw the thumbnail and 🥳
Not gonna lie but when I saw the title and looked at the brownish water in the thumbnail, the first thing that flashed across my mind was, "Did this guy try to survive by drinking his own pee?" Then, I snapped back to my senses. Lol.
@@eric9493 I too thought of pee at first but I knew better lol
I thought the same! haha
Yessssssss mate! Ordering a take-away and throwing this up on the tv, Friday has arrived!
Rod you've done an outstanding job making this survival video. I've learned a lot from this video. You've definately put all those want to be survivalist to shame in my opinion. Epic video Rod you be safe out there. Aloha from Kansas.
Instead of soaking the leaves with saltwater, just line the hole with a plastic bag and fill it with seawater. Far more available liquid to evaporate
Evaporation doesn't remove all salt.
@@williamkennedy6423 Yeah it do.
@@williamkennedy6423 it’s actually best to add a little salt back to it. Distilled water will burst your cell walls from osmosis.
All the survival experts 🤣
@@williamkennedy6423 If evaporation doesn't remove all salt then rain water should be salty too and not safe to drink to much 😂 but it aint
Cactus leaf cooks up real nice. It's a delicacy in Mexico
Never seen the plastic bag fire method. Thanks for the knowledge! Worked a treat
39:00 why did I start blowing too 😂😂
😜👍😂😂
hahahaha that's so funny I felt myself starting to blow too...i was so invested! 😂
I really appreciate how environmentally conscious you are. Thanks for the video. If I'm ever in a survival situation, I would just bring one thing: Rob. :)
You deserve that bottled water and chips at the end. That was an awesome legit survival video. Thanks for that. Looking forward to your next vids mate. 🤙
I am a little conflicted about the garbage removal lol....
it should be removed but obviously it could help save a life...
but...new garbage will arrive soon I suppose
@@NoNORADon911 he said in the first part he gonna clean them
Hey Rod, I appreciate how you focused on not being destructive for the need of a video. Also, found it interesting on how plastic is so bad for the environment but how much easier it was for survival.
I knew Friday was gonna be a good day!. RoKKit KiT coming through for the win.
mate, use a plastic bag in the hole to to retain a whole bunch of saltwater for your still, then use what you did on top you'd of had loads of water then.
Nah man it’s not that productive. It’s more of a reserve. Not a main source. Plus he used dead leaves.
That’s how I saw it done many years ago. We were taught that we could turn salt water into fresh, by grabbing a bucket of salt water, butting an empty plastic container in it, cling wrap over the bucket and a pebble in the center of the cling wrap. Easy (in theory)
@@215ILLicit It wasnt productive because of the half ass way he did it lol the sand and dead leaves didnt retain any water. The plastic bag in the hole as well as mentioned in the original comment would have allowed a bunch of water to evaporate and condense on the plastic bag above and then make its way down to the cup.
@@PatB22 could’ve swore I said he used dead leaves. Emotional much?
@@215ILLicitUUhhmm ok yea i guess lol i didnt say that you didnt say that.
Don't eat too many prickly pears or it'll mess with your digestion, if you know what I mean.
rod showing who's boss by wrapping with underpants 😂
i haven't tried it in ages but ive heard that with the drill you want to push down hard and spin slower to get the 'brown' dust then switch to lighter pressure and faster spinning to create the 'black' dust and get the ember. I've also heard you want a hard stick and softer plank.
Loved the plastic bag of water magnifier trick!
That’s why you have to watch mirrors and direct sunlight coming through a window. Many house fires start with wall mirrors in the summertime.
I have watched almost all of your videos, and I love what you do (probably my favorite channel). This video was different then what you normally do and it was great! Water and fire are on the top of the list for survival, and you showed us, although it’s not easy it can be done. Keep doing what you do and I’ll keep watching.
I have been checking youtube every single day since the first survival episode came out!!! Love this stuff
He uploads on a Friday
@@debbiemarquis3231 yep but had to check anyways. Ya never know
Transpiration method is definitely the way to go. First time seeing it but extremely impressed.
Also, put some rocks in the fire and cuddle up to them while you sleep. The rocks will hold heat for hours.
That bag was amazing!! Shows you how bush fires start in aus… old bottles and crap thrown in the bush
I was blowing those embers as well Rod!! As you went on it was interseting how your concentration was ebbing as well!!
Amigo, your shared experiences bring such a smile. The tree stills and a tall drink of water, I was just grinning ear to ear with you. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
You can eat the cactus, its a very loved dish in Mexico (Nopal) usually remove the needles and cut in small strips, cook in a pan with oil and some potatoes and other veggies. You should try it
🤯🙏🙏🙏🤤
I have a new found respect for plastic bags.. They give you fire AND water in a survival situation. I learned something very valuable today.
Thank you!
Thank you Rod, another excellent adventure. I legit was getting thirsty just watching you. thank you again I appreciate all your hard work.
It was stressful thinking he was going to accidentally drop or knock over the filled water bottle, he'd so painstakingly collected.
This is one of the rare ways to experience the real Australia. As beautyful as the landscape is, it can be as hell on earth.
Thanks for your vid, m8! Miss your country so much...your blessed 🎉
at least the island isnt full of things that want to kill you, except plants.
Well, everything in australia wants to kill you, some are just too small
My dude made fire with a plastic bag. Fkin legend.
Here’s some tips for Your fire rubbing, I’m and aboriginal dancer and we use it in our shows (Videos on my channel) . The reason you weren’t getting a cherry is the top stick is hollowing in. I’d cut it off the end and start with a fresh flat end. Use your knife to cut little knicks into the bottom stick hole too create more friction & will stop the squeak. It’s also all about downward pressure try kneeling down on one Knee with foot on the bottom stick and use your shoulders to push down into the stick. You’ll be popping coals under 10 seconds in no time 👍🏾
excellent info Layton..gonna check your channel
Man this trip became a whole movie! So epic. Really enjoyed the survival aspect of this one
These 2 survival videos are the most riveting videos you've ever done! Loved them and now have some great tips to get water and make fire. Could not believe how easy it was to make fire with the bag of water. Well done 👏
I can't believe the bag with water actually started a fire!!!!!! That was awesome!!!
Amazing how plastic is key to survival - for water and fire
Never let a fire go to waste. You had one started chuckles
The prickly pear bit was great. What a godsend those things are.
Anyone think the solar still coulda been more effective if he lined the bottom with a bag also? Figured less water being absorbed by the sand.
Agreed! That would have definitely helped.
no because he had to pour salt water into the hole before hand
@@MdonyWilsonGaming Did you know how distillation works? He could pour there even industrial wastewater.
I had to grab a cold beer just watching you.
All through the🔥creation, I kept thinking of Tom Hanks in 🏝Castaway. It was like I was sitting right there next to you yelling 😧'watch it Rob, don't drop it mate'😂This is CZcams gold mate. Definitely do more of these please😎👌
I've watched a fair few of your videos mate, but this one spooked me. I could see you slowly degrading over the day, your speech patterns changed, you searched for words - looked pretty grim until you went to make the fire. Dehydration is no joke.
Water bags on trees. Incredible! Love this. You need your own tv channel. Would be so popular 🙏
Rod is our new bushy, taking over from the great Aussie survivalists like Malcolm Douglas, Jack Absalom and the mighty Bush Tucker man
I'll never look at plastic bags the same way!
Hanapaa! Action!!
Most of Hawaii's fresh water comes from onshore aquifers, which are layers of rock and soil underground that collect water after rainfall.
Mahalo for sharing survival with "No Water"🚱and making "Fire" (that was cool).🔥
when the sunrise was coming up and you could hear the waves and the fire.... you should honestly clip that and run it in a loop, would make an awesome sleeping white noise track
Lighting a fire with a plastic bag of water made my day. Good on ya!
That was awesome watching how to use a plastic bag and sea water to creat a focal point and creating a fire!
Loved the vid especially when you got that fire going amazing. Tree water was good as well. Thanks Rob
Hats off to the only man I know of that thinks he's greedy while been the only man on the island. Another good one rod.
If you could get a few large stones, you could warm it on fire and bury it under the sand to make warm bed. The prickly cactus fruits was more or less a sort of dragon fruit because they were of the same cactus family. Look delicious.
I am so thirsty now I look at my tap with a new appreciation thanks again mate for suffering to entertain us you are awesome 👏
Nothing like those sun rays to warm you after a cold night...they can't come out quick enough!
I really enjoyed this, yeh it was different but it was really good and really honest, a bit of an eye opener.
Nice one bud 👍
Amazingly useful and potentially life saving information. Thank you. Plastic bags - the no.1 survival tool, who would have thought.
I live in Colorado , here in the Rockies we would have built what they call a bough bed, for the insulation between your body and the ground. But we have conifers / pine trees.
Current wisdom says you need at least 4 inches of insulation between you and the ground. Went camping with a church youth group did the same thing close to a stream, it was most miserable night I've ever spent in the woods.. Thanks for the water collection demonstration..
You're a good man for packing out the garbage, thank you for not only for providing educational and entertaining content, but for setting a good example
This is the first time I've watched this channel. I watched part 1 and part 2 of this video series and I definitely enjoyed it. I look forward to watching more videos.
We have a survival saying in the army cadets down in sydney. 3 days without water, 1 week without food, 3 seconds without hope, this video really shows how true that first bit is without a doubt.
*tries difficult fire starting technique for the first time ever* ... "ok so that worked"
Certified greatest outdoorsman. Love it!
"its got to be big enough to fit the kids in it" LOLOL dang man youre videos are awesome! I loved this survival one, I love all your solo camping trip videos
Brought back great memories of a week spent in Caloundra. Millions of soldier crabs and the much bigger (and tastier) crabs that fed on them. Thank you!
Highly doubt there were millions of them lol
@@mightywookiee6633 Well, there were at least two.
Great, I love the honesty about your thought process and decisions. Plastic bags only next time..
quick tip : keep the peels of these fruits, place them in a bottle, and crush them. It will give you a lot of juice and vitamins
To be honest, this is a great example or a show and tell for my son ( a lot of other kids ) on how to survive with very little supplies. I am in U.S. and a lot of more kids are kore interested in video games vs to being outside and learning things like this. Thank you for always sharing this part of your life.
Me and the missus legit cheering for ya when you got the fire starter haha the suspense
Soooo goood! 🔥
The prickly pear cactus is very edible. The paddles taste a lot like green beans. The fruit is delicious and sweet. The easiest way to get rid of the tiny thorns is to use a flame to get rid of them.
Great two episodes. Never knew you could draw that much water from transpiration. Good to know. Fire techniques interesting as well. That’s for sharing and best of luck.
Even though you're not a 'survival channel' per say, this was by far the most educational survival series I've seen. Didn't realise how effective a plastic bag could be in terms of starting a fire and producing water. Insane.
Anyone else waiting for Wilson to pop up? Rod yelling at Wilson that the air got to it while building the fire. Lol.
Great videos to watch and very entertaining. When I was a kid in the scouts, we started fires pretty easily using the base of a bottle. Of course you have to break the bottle to do it, but the base is pretty much already curved in the shape of a magnifying glass .
So the lessons learned here are "take a magnifying glass with you to start your fires!"
No, u take a water tight container with several lighters.
Absolutely
Greatly great to see you managed to get a fire going and a decent haul of drinkable water!
Hey I'm a new viewer here but I just wanna say this series was fantastic. I learned a lot, especially about water collection from trees (I had NO idea that was possible). I also respect and appreciate you taking care of the environment as well as you can.
Murphy's Law my friend,(to answer your question around the 20min mark) Murphy's Law 🙃🙂..
Love the vids, so relaxing to just sit and chill watching 🇦🇺❤️👍
That Casuarina you are camping under has a lil nut/seed growing on it, find a green seed (not a brown one) peel the outta ruff husk then chew and suck on it for a few minutes and it will activate your surlier glans.... also as you are on a island off the coast of Australia you will also find a Papperbark Tree's around that you can get freshwater from by cutting into the trunk with a axe of sharp tool
this encourages me to go wild camping, the more you can rely on nature and cut out the unnecessary is a really useful exercise in life, especially as most of us suffer from stuffocation and stagnation - the side effects of civilisation
Much love here from NSW. Watching your vids help us escape the mess
If you're going to make more such videos, you could bring a flint rod for starting a fire. A potable saw to cut wood and build crab traps or fish traps. Find a place where there is fresh water and bring a purifier.
Gathering snails/shellfish other than pipis and oysters is illegal in Moreton bay. Any other part of QLD it's fine, or in NSW. Just can't use anything with a shell in Moreton bay unless it's a surf clam/pipi, oysters can't be transported so you have to eat them on the same beach you found them on.
Fill one of the glass bottles a third of the way with sea water, line up the mouth of the bottle with the mouth of the other empty bottle horizontally and boil the water. The steam will condense into the empty bottle.
The pads of the prickly pear are very edible. I love to cook with them. In Mexico they are called nopalitos. Take the whole pad and spear it with a stick lengthwise from where it was attached to the cactus, sing off the spines and lean it against a rock close to the fire. Watch so it doesn’t burn. When the first side is cooked turn it around so the back side can cook also. When finished, peel off the skin and slice into strips or cubes. They are very pleasant flavored.
I've never seen a fire made with water in a bag how clever of you. Also generating water with bags over tree leaves is ingenious. Yes I know that you didn't just invent it but to remember it and actually use it is great! I think of how many people died and could saved themselves if they just know those two techniques. I'm a desert runner in Arizona and use to go out a lot by myself when I was younger. I still go out on outings but with a couple of close friends that I trust my life to. We always take plenty of fresh water and food to ensure that we are not going to get into a survival situation. Love watching your channel. Stay safe.
That night sounded awful. Huge props for the great attitude. I'd have been miserable after that
Man I'd love to see a snorkling/spearing and more fishing vids from where you caught the coral trout!
for part 1- It's very sensitive that you don't cut leaves and branches for shelter, it's the first time I've seen a survival man who thinks like that and I appreciate you
I was praying that you didn't knock your precious water over. 😱😱😱😱
Great video, love to you and the fam, from the U.K.💙💙💙💙
One of the best videos you’ve made. Thanks for putting your self through this. Love you man. Wish I could have as much fun as you are.
The plastic bag fire was awesome. Amazing content
Les Stroud would have drank that ant with the water. lol Those bags got you a lot of water, fantastic!
an hour long video! i cant wait to watch this in the morning with my coffee!
Learned a lot , and entertained . . Is an understatement : )
I’m wrapping up the Coral trout in my underpants to take home to my family.🤣
Try throwing some rocks on your fire and heat them right up, the dig a hole in the sand and bury them about half a metre down. Its amazing how warm that will keep you, and you dont have to keep putting logs in the fire. ive done it before and it works for ages.
Rod I appreciate you posting your experiences. I get so excited when I get a notification of a new video from Rokkit kit. I have tried watching other you tubers. You have such a great personality, and seem so humble. Keep up the Good work. God Bless!! Richard from Missouri.
No matter who you are and how much training you've had - Survival is a bitch! You did great Rod 👌
Bro! The plastic bag full of water idea was brilliant! Making fire with water, excellent!
Nice vid. I've had to drink water out of muddy cow prints once... long story though. Any water is good water when you're thirsty.
Prickly pear jam is a treat too. Eating too much raw fruit isn't great, as you found and I hate the super fine prickles, but any moisture is good.
At one point in history, the family farm was covered in cactus, until the the catoblastis moth was released. Poisoning did little prior to that.
Water, more than food, is life. Nice trout at the end there :)
Glad you took us along for the ride. Ta.
14.25 that was truly amazing.
I would have kept that fire going just to prove the point for the rest of the video
I think with the bottle you need the concave base so you would need to break the bottle. I remember when I was a kid using the base to start fires. When mum wouldn't let u have matches lol.
This is gold, like the water 😊
I remember the old folks used to make jam out of prickly pear fruit... taste great when they're ripe
Absolutely loved this video. I was sorry when it was over. You are amazing. Please keep the videos coming.
Between the fire starting method and the plastic bags in the trees I reckon you'd be on the top of my list of people I'd like to be marooned on a desert island with. Cheers mate.
