oh did you hear that
whoa what is that everywhere
being stranded in the middle of the
ocean is a pretty unlikely and rare
situation
to end up in but isn't unheard of and to
be honest
we've recently been thinking about more
and more ideas to test our ability to
survive situations
of distress can we survive in nature
without any food and water
should we learn how to hunt if we ever
get lost in the wild and could we
overcome being stranded at sea
for 24 hours on a life raft today we're
going to answer
one of those questions matt managed to
find an unused life raft up for sale
and a company willing to stick around to
manage our safety
amar gets extremely seasick and it's
almost impossible to keep still in one
place for more than two hours
let alone 24 and even though we tried
being stuck together in a bathroom for
an entire day two years ago
this time the environment is entirely
out of our control
in fact we wouldn't even realize how
tricky this challenge was going to be
until minutes before we jumped on the
raft and so all of a sudden
the hypothetical scenario became very
real
this may potentially be one stupidest
thing we ever do
and two the scariest thing that we ever
do they'll explain why when we get down
there
[Music]
thank you guys for having us oh you're
welcome appreciate it it's gonna be a
fun trip
and what fun is the right word that'll
be interesting yeah
nonetheless oh boy this is getting real
real fast should we talk a bit about
what you guys do
yeah the most popular thing that we do
is like extreme whale watching we go
offshore and we get
close to the biggest animals on the
planet we get arms reach of dolphins
whales swimming right around the boats
that's amazing you guys are the perfect
people for this yeah yeah heard this
like oh yeah
this is safe this is organized this is
good you guys need to stay in the boat
okay i think a mars plan was to be in
the water for a bit so i think that's
bone
yeah let's explain why that yeah so
there's uh there's a lot of mako sharks
out there right now um in fact most of
the people
mako sharks makos what's up more
aggressive than a great white so
[Music]
people are telling me watch out for
great whites don't worry about great
weights it don't matter
yeah worry about makeup um it is
possible that they will like come up and
check you guys out you'll probably see
their fan not a problem
if it helps typically when somebody gets
bit by a shark they're not gonna like
eat your whole body so like at worst you
just lose a limb
it's a lot better the only two
fears that we know amar has wild animals
and the ocean
the second i get in the water when i'm
in like an open water yeah i always have
this idea that i'm gonna
run out of energy my muscles are gonna
cramp when i was like 12 and i had to
save my mom from getting into a current
because it wasn't anything serious but
the only thing i remember is just
that like state of panic of treading
water so i can keep her up i was small
and that's the only thing i remember
every time i
get into water like that so never a fun
time alrighty
on that note on the water no sharks
today baby
not on my watch behind the seat
his fear the guy who sold us a life raft
was that there would be some holes that
we wouldn't know about but
if there are any holes we'll just come
back onto the boat yeah we're fine oh no
no we'll no we'll stay with 24 hours
with [ __ ] holes in the boat
[Music]
ready to go we're ready
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
dolphins
[Music]
wow
15 miles out and we're about to hop into
our new home how much colder is gonna be
at night than this right here honestly
it's what i was thinking on the way here
it's like we have to pile up in like a
little you're gonna have to yeah
i wonder you came up with this idea this
is what you wanted to do all along
what we needed to travel two hours away
from land so that you could cuddle
nobody on this boat has ever opened the
life raft we are going to open it right
now as best we can what i'm thinking we
do
is we just pull this thing let's see
what happens
i think it's like a big deal isn't it
like yeah both of you would get
yeah well it says specifically not to
roll it so maybe oh [ __ ] okay
this one looks like it's rolled a lot
and where's
definitely too late for the don't do the
rolling thing yeah let's just roll it
off
two one go oh my god
[Applause]
oh that is so cool that's
awesome shall we do this
pull on feel the water like like you're
on the water on the water which is kind
of scary if there are sharks
sharks there it's not if there are
sharks there are sharks
duct tape right now
[Music]
welcome oh [ __ ]
dude how are we going to do this for 24
hours man overboard drills we do have a
life raft in the water
i will be here for the next 24 hours
there's no distress over
good luck everybody for hours you guys
keep your eyes open
somebody just called on the radio and
said there was a whale by that warship
out there
really yeah so you might see a whale
coming your eyes open keep your ears
open the whale's not gonna like hit our
life raft or anything right
that would be awesome if it did
um what's the problem yeah it won't work
like that big boy there's any way you
can move
like a little bit like to the that's
where
i literally can't move right now because
matt is on top of me like i'm barely
your legs are literally blocking my
entire go for it now
we're in international waters right now
which means that if you commit a crime
you just
you go for it is that how it works
yeah there's an international water so
they couldn't prosecute them but the
question of who
is going to go insane first has just
been answered
someone said something's leaking oh wow
yeah it is leaking from the actual
our water jug oh dude [ __ ] me
oh this is soaking wet ah the water is
everywhere i'm soaked too
well this is a good start with the
sponges
and a couple of towels that we had fixed
the situation good news that it wasn't a
leak it was just our own water supply
we are not the the best sea men in the
world
what semen
anyways
[Music]
there's literally nothing around us
right now
now we're just drifting
oh the conditions changed a little bit
from when we took him
out it's so rocky right now oh
yeah it's not looking very good right
now we close the tarps because there's
water that starts to splash in like i'm
soaking wet
and uh ammar is starting to feel the
bumps
every time we slightly open this up to
get some fresh air there's a bunch of
water that splashes inside
but now there's like literally no oxygen
in here
that's how you feel um energy
conservation mud
yeah there is a whole bag of tools and
things you can use that were inside when
we
blew it up and we still haven't really
looked what's inside let's see what's in
this
uh mystery box ah first aid
perfectly just pump like a shot of
adrenaline to a mars
thigh right yes seven oceans
standard emergency can we open it oh
it's probably food
but is this good to eat still wasn't
this little raft built in
the 90s oh my god to be replaced not
later than the date given below in march
2019
three months ago dude is this food safe
to eat yeah take a bite you're saying
yeah but you have no idea you just want
me yeah just take
take a bite if i think about you take a
bite okay
buttery cracker is what it tastes like
all right that's your turn to try uh
i'm all good actually no you said you're
gonna dude we're on a life raft
freaking eat it
how's that literally tastes like any
cracker i know but just knowing how old
it is it makes it so much more gross
tomorrow quick have some of this that'll
help your seasickness
[Music]
no hesitation
a hell of a crewman guy who just eats
our crackers and sleeps it's expired eh
it's really good it's like my mom used
to make this really good
she used to make life rafters your mom
was a life raft cracker maker at home
she would bake them for us for breakfast
oh wow this is a freaking is that a
player yeah dude there's so many of them
really oh my god look at all these oh
a little journal oh wow this isn't not a
journal this is
survival at sea destruction manual
for the survival do not abandon your
hope though you are in distress
and adrift on the sea in the worst
situation of your life
i'm not making this up live through with
strong mental power at least
for three days it would take many hours
to die of hunger or thirst
do your best to survive up to the last
one second there is no reason to be in a
hurry to die your family is waiting for
your return
oh my god that's page one like a lot of
it is just in japanese
oh wow all right gents
we have some dried fruit we have some
candy for dessert the sunset is for real
look at this it's becoming wild one of
the most romantic
dinners i've ever had in my life can you
stop saying this romantic
we're just a bunch of dudes hanging out
we're like so close and we're bonding
and things
you know we have to pile up in like a
little we're gonna have to yeah
we needed to travel two hours away from
land so that you could cuddle
what this is definitely not how people
and life wraps usually feel
like we're just so relaxed people in
that rash are probably so miserable it's
definitely a very different experience
to know that you're being
picked up versus having no freaking idea
if anybody will ever pick you up there
goes the sun
it's that bad song all right it is
currently uh about 9
30 p.m gonna try and pass that soon so
we can't really show this with the
camera but there are so many stars
with the water moving around us too it's
just the most peaceful moment between
thomas and i and mars passed out inside
he's still recovering from the
seasickness i'm very glad i haven't been
uh hit as hard as he was but we're just
going to be enjoying the stars
for another hour or so and then try to
pass out hopefully um
nothing bad happens at night
[Music]
whoa what is that dude there's a whale
no there's a wait
they were so close yeah they were like a
few feet away it's gonna be definitely
harder to sleep now
thomas just dared me to put my hand in
the water for 10 seconds
being the adults and the leader of the
life raft i can't afford to do that
that's the second command
thomas will take the head who elected
you as the leader of the boat
i don't think we ever voted i talked to
omar when he was waiting for those two
seconds today and he said he would like
me to be the leader too
do as i say and put your [ __ ] hand
if you're not the leader you don't ask
the questions i quit
so this is our sleeping setup for the
night i don't know how much sleep we're
gonna get to be honest
animals out there snoring bear right
here and very little space to move
i'm a light sleeper so this is gonna be
sick even just seeing how cramped we are
this life raft is supposed to fit double
how the hell do you fit
six people in this thing i'm glad i'm
joined us to just sleep next to us the
whole time while we
while we were doing this clearly his way
of dealing with the ultimate discomfort
is to sleep we'll see you
in the morning
it's the morning we have a neighbor
it's a massive massive warship probably
slept two hours the whole night
it got really cold
oh wow i can't see anything at all where
the hell are we
still in the pacific ocean this has been
enough
it has been enough hi good morning hey
just checking to see if you guys are
alive
i wanted to see if you guys want to stay
out here longer if you're still sleeping
i think we're pretty ready to pack up
and head back to shore okay perfect
sounds good then i'll see you in a
second
oh they're coming to get us daytime was
easy sleeping on this thing is
impossible did you enjoy
matt excited to sleep
hey guys good morning morning good
morning
you sure you don't want to do another 24
hours out there i think we're good
uh i forgot that we haven't stood up in
24 hours
when we start a challenge like this we
truly have no idea what the outcome
is going to be are the winds going to
pick up are sharks going to swim up to
us
are we even going to fit inside this
raft and well we kind of have to just go
with the experience and see what happens
we try to live these moments as
authentically as we can and the outcome
this time could have honestly turned out
to be a hell of a lot worse
ammar shut down completely for most of
this challenge to limit the pain of his
seasickness
while matt and i as much as we struggled
to all fit and stay sane without
anything to do
ended up having a great learning
experience and circumstances that
remained somewhat
under control we hope that seeing how
life rafts work might have educated you
at least a little bit
and we're excited to explore more
survival challenges in the future if you
have ideas of survival challenges for us
