- Why, am I, oh, I did it! I am a genius!
I have created fire!
- Oh my God, dude! I'd survive!
- Science is cool!
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Let's say that you were stranded in the wilderness.
No electricity, no cell phone, do you think you'd survive?
- Definitely not.
Just straight up, I've thought about this exact scenario myself, no.
- No, absolutely not. Not at all.
- No. (laughs)
I don't think I would survive.
- I'm definitely an outdoors person.
I would say a fanatic to the point where, yeah.
'Cause I like, every single opportunity that I get,
I always go hiking.
- (FBE) Well today we're gonna test your survival skills
in a new Try Not To Die challenge.
- Oh my God! Is this a challenge?
This is what we've become, Try Not To Die?
- You're not taking me out to the wilderness, are you?
- (FBE) No. - Okay.
- (FBE) So we're gonna give you everything you need
to complete a specific survival hack. - Okay.
- (FBE) If you can figure it out without watching a video,
you're gonna get two points. - Oh!
- (FBE) If you can figure it out after you watch a video,
you'll get one point, and if you can't figure it out
even with a video, you'll get zero points.
Does that sound good?
- (laughs) Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm excited.
- Well, we definitely don't wanna die, and we also wanna win.
- Worst case scenario, I just die, and that's it.
- (FBE) So for your first survival hack,
we've given you everything you need to make this flashlight work.
- Okay.
- Aluminum foil, one battery, and a lamp.
- I'm assuming an empty...
See I woulda lost the cap in the wilderness.
- Am I missing batteries, is that what's going on?
- I feel like I'm gonna die doing this.
Does it say which side it goes in?
- I'm gonna take a thread of this,
and I'm going to mash it as much as I can.
- I feel like I'm folding this way too big, hold on.
- You know, my dad's an engineer in electronic,
I should know how to figure this out.
- Wrap this up pretty, oh, it's conducting heat already.
I'm really about to burn down FBE.
Like if you think about it, you guys really did this to yourself.
(bell rings)
- (laughs) No way!
Science is cool!
- Come on, do it!
(bell rings) I did it.
Oh wait, that's not good for the camera, sorry guys!
- Wait, wait, gimme a second, gimme a second.
(bell rings) Oh my God, dude!
I'd survive!
- This is how you do it, but I think
that I just didn't do it properly enough.
(buzzer rings) Yeah.
- So it didn't work, okay.
Um, I'll see a video.
- Let's see.
- Oh, okay.
- That's what I was kinda going for.
That's why I kinda made it that way,
I was like oh, I'm gonna make the battery.
- That's so clever, that's so clever!
- Wow, okay.
Oh my God, okay, so it had to be a little bit bigger.
- Uh, that's it?
No, no, no!
- I feel like I'm a kid again.
Like I don't feel like no one, oh!
(bell rings) Yay!
Ooh, sorry, I like flashed it.
Oh my God, I'm so excited!
- So I don't need these gloves then.
'Cause I won't be blowing anything up.
Put the battery first.
Bro, it's not, she's like, dude this is turd of foil.
I give up, I give up. (buzzer rings)
This challenge is hard, bro.
- (FBE) So let's say you didn't have a flashlight.
Can you make a light source from these items?
- Oh, okay, well, this one kinda seems very simple.
- The crayons have like kinda the same consistency of a candle.
- Will this act like a candle? Oh my God, 'cause it's wax!
- I'm just melting my crayons.
There's no food for us tonight, guys.
(yells) It burns!
- Girl, is it a candle?
Oh no, it just looks like a blunt. (laughs)
- We want our candle to stand on this aluminum tray.
The only way to get it to stand is if there's already a wax set up.
Which means we're gonna have to burn one of the crayons,
kinda create a base for our other crayon,
and then try to light that.
- Let's go ahead and melt this one.
Okay.
Have it stick like a candle.
- I don't know if I'm doing this right at all.
(Izzy gasps)
- (FBE) That's pretty close, yeah. We'll count it.
(bell rings) - Yeah, yeah?
Oh, hell yeah!
Should I blow it out?
Okay, I wish for ponies.
I wish for Zac Efron. (laughs)
(bell rings)
- Now we can save this one for another day.
- Why, am I, oh, I did it!
I am a genius!
I have created fire!
(buzzer rings)
- I'm gonna see a video.
- (FBE) (laughs) Alright.
This one's a fail, I think it's time to go to the video.
- How did you guys do it?
Show me, I really wanna see.
- They lit the tip like I did previously.
Oh, both ends.
- Mine didn't do that!
I did the same thing!
- Oh, he used the own crayon wax as like a stand.
- Oh, wow.
- I would like to try again.
Okay, so we melt the tip first.
There's a flame, okay. (bell rings)
Yay, I got it!
- Ooh, a giant puddle.
Oh my God, look how pretty that was, it was so graceful too.
- It was the same.
It's just, I was just impatient.
Oh, yes, and then I'm gonna warm up this.
(bell rings)
Happy birthday to me!
- (FBE) For your third hack, here you go.
- Thank you. A bra.
- (FBE) If you find yourself in a fire or other contaminated air situation,
a simple face mask can be made from a bra.
Any ideas on how to do this?
- Probably, 'cause I wear one every day.
- Whose bra is this?
- I'm just gonna cut right in the middle.
That's probably not what you're supposed to do.
- I'd assume it would need to be like one and then like two.
Like one strap on the other side,
but I don't know how that would like make it on the other side.
- Maybe I'll cut a cup off?
This seems like such a nice bra too.
- We're gonna have to cut this in half.
I'm trying to think like, oh!
Wait a second, am I a surgeon now?
(bell rings)
Is this what you're supposed to do?
This might be it, man!
This might be my final invention.
'Cause this is pretty good!
- Like a face mask,
and then just like attempt to breathe in through here.
- This part is gonna give you support in the back,
and then these two will stay on your ears.
I didn't even have to cut it,
because this back part will give you support
so that you don't have to hold it.
- Wapow! (laughs)
- (FBE) A for effort. (buzzer rings)
- (laughs) Dang it!
- I'd like to see a video before I ruin the bra, so.
(buzzer rings) - (FBE) Okay.
- Bra, okay, I was supposed to do that.
- Oh it just needed, oh!
- Oh my... - No way!
I technically did it!
- That's actually pretty cool,
and I feel like it would work better than a facemask
from the dollar store, because this is like thicker.
It's actually like way better.
- Okay, and we got it!
(bell rings) It worked!
Kind of, there you go.
- We need a bigger bra with bigger straps.
Ooh! Cut.
It fits! (laughs)
I need like the double Ds!
- What they did is they took the thing
and then they just did this. Oh, wow.
- I know that she did move the strap maybe a little closer
to provide more security,
but she also doesn't have a big head like me,
so that's why I kept the strap on the outsides.
- (FBE) Next up, if you're looking for a way to preserve water
in the wilderness, you can make a canteen with these things.
- (Sheila) Ooh!
- (FBE) And then the water bottle is there for you to test it with.
- Is this a condom? (laughs) What?
- Non-lubricated condoms.
And a sock.
- I don't even know where this sock would come in.
- I know this doesn't look like much guys,
but I promise you, the finished product is gonna be sick.
- Wrap it around there.
But now it's kinda made a tight seal.
- Maybe I should fill it up with water,
and then put it on the sock.
- What am I supposed to do?
This one's hard.
And, there's so many items.
- I'm just gonna stick the string though these holes
and kind of make it like a zipper.
But I mean, God bless whoever drinks out of this.
- I don't think this is how they're gonna do it,
but it's how I'm gonna do it, and that's all that matters right now,
'cause it's about how I'm surviving.
Oh, this is so healthy, oh my goodness.
- I know, maybe to tie this, but then that would tie it shut.
- Okay, there.
And now hey, you wanna close your bottle up?
Now you just twine this up and there you go.
You got your little sock protected water bottle.
- Now I have my fricking floating water condom bottle.
Like, I'm ready to go.
- Maybe you just don't need to survive with me.
You just have to have a good time. That didn't work.
(buzzer rings) I give up.
(buzzer rings) - Can I watch the video?
- Put a nice little bow on it.
I don't know if it's even going.
(buzzer rings) It's not going.
I would like to see the video.
- Put the condom inside of the sock before filling.
- And then fill it, okay.
- Tie the end off with a stick so it's easier to unknot later.
- Huh?
- Oh, that's cool! Okay!
That was more simpler.
- So I'm just assuming you're gonna wrap it.
Okay, there we go.
Ready, is this how it's supposed to, okay, wow, I feel very,
like, I'm learning something!
- This way, this way, give yourself a little room, you know?
You cannot look at this and take me seriously.
If I came up to you, and I was like hey, you wanna drink from my canteen?
(bell rings) I promise you,
you would not wanna stay with me in the woods.
- (laughs) I'm sorry, I just whipped it.
Alright, look at that! (bell rings)
That's really big. (laughs)
- I'm actually very happy with my own, like,
just, you see? You see, this is fashion.
- Now you just carry your little canteen. (smacks lips)
- (FBE) Alright, so we were pretty nice earlier,
and we gave you a lighter,
but can you start a fire without one?
- How to start a fire with a battery, a piece of paper,
two pieces of gum, and some gloves.
- This has energy in it.
But we have to find some way to get the energy out of it,
and heat up enough to be able to spark a fire.
- What? To start a fire.
oh, there's foil, duh!
- I'm gonna try to do friction, but I really don't think
this is how you do it.
- Let's see if this holds any heat.
No, I know I have to split this, but how?
- My brain is like slowing down the more I do like another...
(buzzer rings) ...like, hack.
- One battery. One girl.
Two gum bars, and one pair of scissors.
What will she do? We don't know!
(buzzer rings) She doesn't know!
- First safety concern, I don't think I can do this one.
(buzzer rings) I wanna watch the video first.
- I don't know, I tried every single combination possible,
and it didn't work.
- Ugh, I'm so sad!
Just light on fire! (buzzer rings)
- (FBE) Do you wanna watch the video?
- Yeah.
- The wrapper?
Oh, aluminum, oh my God, I didn't even think of that!
- Wow, duh!
There was use of the scissors.
- Okay, cut it.
- Making it super thin, taking that gum aluminum.
Taking the little strips, putting it at the end,
and at the, okay. Whoa, what?
- Oh, I've seen, yes. Oh, damn.
- Yeah.
I basically did that!
- Now what the person in the video did is they trimmed off the ends.
- It has to be thin, right?
- (FBE) Mm-hmm. - I'm assuming.
- I did it! I made the strip!
- Trying to get a grip.
Nope! Okay, it's not going in.
No it's not.
I give up. (buzzer rings)
I'm so sorry, I give, it's not working.
Is it working, it's burning. It's not working. (laughs)
I'm so sad. No!
(buzzer rings) Damn it.
- I don't know, man.
This is some Dragon Ball Z stuff. It's not catching on fire.
I give up, bro.
- It's getting hot, but it's not.
But it's not catching in the middle.
Come on, come on.
I don't think it's happening for me. (buzzer rings)
- Ugh, yes! Yes.
Yes, I did it! Oh my God!
- (FBE) You did it!
- That was so cool!
It's like let me just make sure we're not starting fire.
- (FBE) Out of five survival hacks total,
you completed three of them without seeing a video,
and the other two, you were able to do
once you saw the video. - Yes.
- (FBE) Meaning you completed five out of five hacks,
and you got eight out of 10 points.
- Are you serious?
I did, oh my God!
I feel good about myself.
- If you were stuck on an island, I'm assuming you were on a plane,
or on a boat, and then they have these tools
to begin with, so it's nice, you know?
Now I know, I'll never forget.
- I learned a lot more, and I learned that I need to get out.
Like, outdoors a lot more.
- Dude, I feel so proud.
You know, next time I go out to the wilderness,
I might just stay out there for a few days, you know?
And survive off the land. (laughs)
- I know if we actually went out to the wild and did it,
like I would definitely be the one that's thriving,
out of the group, so, I would definitely love to do this again.
- When you're in situations when you're actually like,
it's life or death, things like that don't matter.
'Cause all that matters is surviving.
- It was fun trying to figure out how to make these
four random objects that could in no way be related
into this, and maybe that's just what survival is.
It's just wilderness is a giant puzzle that you gotta solve.
