00:00We are now stranded on this island
00:01in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
00:04Our only way off this island is to build a sailboat
00:07and then set sail over miles of open ocean
00:10to that other island.
00:11Why?
00:12Because they like what we suffer.
00:14Let's kick this thing off.
00:15Let's do it.
00:16What are we looking for?
00:17Things to build a sailboat.
00:18Wait, have you guys sailed before?
00:20No.
00:20But I do know we need a camp.
00:22Yeah, I'm sweating already.
00:23I think this would make a good spot for camp.
00:25Yeah, let's do it.
00:26You guys can't see that because it's a 3D animation,
00:28but that's what we have to build.
00:29That's impossible.
00:30I mean, if we don't build that, we're just stuck.
00:33I think you've actually gone crazy.
00:34Before we start construction on the sailboat,
00:36we need to gather supplies and start building a shelter
00:39so this island doesn't kill us before we can escape.
00:42The reason why we're doing this challenge
00:43is I've always wondered,
00:44if me and my friends were stranded on an island,
00:46would we be able to escape?
00:47Yeah, every young man wonders that.
00:49And so we're not stuck on this island as old men.
00:52The fort's coming along very well.
00:53We unloaded the crate,
00:54which has a small amount of survival essentials.
00:56This water might seem like a lot,
00:58but it's got to last us until we build a sailboat.
01:00And I genuinely don't know how long that's going to take us.
01:03Because in reality, we're just a bunch of YouTubers
01:05trying to build a shelter out of nothing.
01:08Ideally, it sits higher.
01:09Chandler, I have an idea.
01:10All right, let's go.
01:11I got it.
01:13Whoa!
01:14All right, Chandler, how's that not going?
01:15Don't kill me.
01:16All right, it's done.
01:17Give me down.
01:17How do I put him down?
01:18Squat.
01:19We're strolling to build a camp.
01:20Imagine when we get to the sailboat.
01:23Yeah.
01:23Oh, boy.
01:24This might last a while.
01:26Oh, sweet.
01:27Yeah, this is going to last a while, a while.
01:29But this was only the beginning.
01:31Little did we know,
01:32this challenge will push us far past our breaking point,
01:35testing our will to survive as a group.
01:37Starting to get tunnel vision.
01:38We got a tunnel.
01:39Big wave, big wave.
01:41The sun was setting fast,
01:42so we very safely lit a fire.
01:45Oh, oh, drop it.
01:46And then made a game plan.
01:47Nolan, have you built a sailboat?
01:49No.
01:49Chandler, have you?
01:50No.
01:50I haven't either.
01:51That is why Hayes is here, because in a previous video,
01:54he kind of built one.
01:55And tomorrow, we begin building this sailboat.
01:58Let's do it!
01:59I have no idea how we're going to do this,
02:00but we're stuck until we do.
02:02First day, we built a shelter.
02:04It's like a tree fort.
02:05I'm looking forward to sailing with a bunch of guys
02:08who've never sailed before.
02:09Since Hayes is the only one that knows what he's doing,
02:12on the morning of day two, he was the only one working on the boat.
02:16Hayes, what are you doing, bro?
02:17Trying to get out of here.
02:18Everybody just creased their eyes open,
02:20and you're out here building.
02:22What are you doing?
02:22This is our little miniature.
02:24We got two hulls, but then on top of that,
02:27we have cross beams.
02:28Then right here is our mast.
02:30Where's the sail?
02:32Nolan, we need your shirt.
02:33Why my shirt?
02:34I don't need all of your shirt.
02:36Whoa!
02:37Dude, I'll just give it to you.
02:38I'll just give it to you.
02:38Okay.
02:39Let's see if it floats!
02:42It floats!
02:43It floats!
02:44We now have a working prototype,
02:45but we need something 30, 40 times bigger.
02:47Can hold a thousand pounds,
02:49and take us all the way to that island.
02:51And we're stuck here until we do that.
02:53Well, we better get on it.
02:55First, we need to gather materials.
02:57You know what makes for a great sailboat?
02:59Bamboo!
03:00Bamboo is very light, which makes it buoyant.
03:02This is big if we can find enough of these.
03:04But all of the bamboo is deep inside this jungle,
03:06and I have no idea what dangers are lurking inside.
03:09Hayes called an emergency meeting.
03:11What's up?
03:11Okay, so before we go into the jungle,
03:14things you've got to look out for.
03:15The fatal snake, the yellow eyelash viper,
03:18and the wandering banana spider.
03:20You serious?
03:21I will be fine.
03:22Let's go get some bamboo.
03:26Dude, there's like ants in my shirt.
03:28What would happen if I poked this beehive?
03:30Don't, don't, don't do that.
03:32I'm joking.
03:33I would never do that.
03:34Everything is trying to kill us here, I swear.
03:36Oh, what is that?
03:38Dude, a bird.
03:40Dude, there's like crates that we can put stuff in?
03:43Dude, that's going to be useful for something, right?
03:45I hope.
03:46We're just going to have to take our time getting back.
03:47Boys, you got a lot.
03:49Yeah.
03:50This is great.
03:51Any container, if it's sealed, it's like more than gold.
03:54Large ships pass through here and dump trash into the ocean
03:57that washes onto this island.
03:58Trash that we can repurpose.
04:00We can use it to build a sailboat.
04:02Yeah, we're cleaning the beaches up and escaping.
04:04There might be some washed up stuff over there.
04:06We need to scour this entire island.
04:08These things got to be perfect.
04:09Oh, is that what I think it is?
04:10I found another one of these blue containers,
04:12but it's been completely smashed open.
04:14That sucks.
04:15Hey, Jimmy.
04:16Check this out.
04:18Bro, we got to check if it floats.
04:20Does it float?
04:23It floats.
04:24Okay, that's big.
04:25Yo.
04:25There's another blue container.
04:27This one looks intact.
04:28I can't believe it.
04:30Oh, I'm about to pass out a heat stroke,
04:31but it makes it all worth it.
04:32We now have enough materials to start building the sailboat.
04:35But with the heat, we didn't have the energy
04:37to start construction today.
04:39I'm starting to feel like we didn't accomplish much today.
04:41I know the guy with the fish on his head ain't saying that.
04:43Take that back, sun hat.
04:46Whoa.
04:47That crossed the line.
04:49Sailboat on three.
04:50One, two, three.
04:52Sailboat!
04:53Day two, everyone's exhausted.
04:55Jimmy, are you happy with how much we got accomplished today?
04:57At this rate, it's going to take a month.
05:00Get some rest, boys.
05:02In the morning, we got a sailboat to build.
05:05Oh, my God.
05:07Nolan just woke up to a spider in his bed.
05:10Oh, my God.
05:11Wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:12It's right there.
05:12It's right there.
05:13Ow, that's a big one.
05:14That's the bad one.
05:15Nolan, get it.
05:16It's coming towards me.
05:17What do you want me to do?
05:17Oh, my God.
05:19Kill it.
05:19Ow, you're just fucking everywhere.
05:21All right, we handled it.
05:22Can you go back to bed and stop seeking attention?
05:25I don't know if I can sleep.
05:26Good night.
05:27It's still hunting somewhere.
05:29The next morning, we didn't feel like melting in the sun
05:31like we did yesterday.
05:33So we decided to move our work area to the shade a ways up the beach.
05:36Words cannot describe how hot it gets on this island.
05:39We need to relocate to where there's shade so we can actually build all day
05:42instead of just a couple hours a day.
05:43And on our way to the new spot, gold mine, Chandler found a third barrel,
05:48making it more likely our sailboat will actually float.
05:51The boys are tired from scavenging, but we finally have enough bamboo and wood to
05:55actually build a good sailboat.
05:57Let's build this thing.
05:58Let's build it.
05:59Let's do it.
06:00Get out of here as soon as possible, please.
06:03I know this doesn't look like much, but this pile of sticks and trash will somehow become
06:07a sailboat.
06:08It's just going to take a lot of work.
06:10I'm tired.
06:11Give me that.
06:12Darius, you go do something.
06:13I'm going to film it here.
06:14Wait, what?
06:14Oh, Chandler's filming now.
06:15I'll film you.
06:16You want me?
06:16Chandler.
06:17I'm taking a break.
06:18Did you just sub in our cameraman?
06:19Here, go help them.
06:21Oh, my gosh.
06:22Darius, I guess you're helping.
06:23All right.
06:24All right.
06:24I hope you know how to build a boat, because we don't.
06:27With Darius promoted to sailboat duty and Chandler behind the camera,
06:30the raft was finally coming together.
06:32But if just one of these knots is loose when we get hit by a wave,
06:36we will sink in the middle of the ocean.
06:39It's time to build the poop deck.
06:41Poop deck?
06:42Isn't that what they call it on ships?
06:44I don't know.
06:44Why do they call it a poop deck?
06:46It's where you go poop.
06:46To be clear, nobody's allowed to go poop while we sail.
06:49This bamboo right here is our ship deck.
06:52It's actually starting to look like a sailboat now.
06:54Yeah, it's coming together.
06:56Oh, man.
06:57Look at that.
06:59Let's go.
07:00We can start tying, even out things, construct a sail,
07:03or we can go have dinner.
07:06We could have dinner.
07:07Dinner 100%.
07:08Okay.
07:09Have we come up with a name for it yet, or are we waiting for that?
07:12Are we waiting for that?
07:13Chandler, what's the name?
07:19All right, that's the name.
07:21Oh, gosh.
07:23The next morning, Hayes began to notice a possible advantage in the tides.
07:28When the tide comes up, when the tide goes down,
07:30it pulls the water away from the shore.
07:32So if we can hit that tide, it's going to rip us out to the ocean.
07:36But if the wind is wrong and the currents are wrong,
07:39you can give me a motor, and we will not get to that island.
07:42And I feel like everyone's counting on me.
07:45So if I pull this off, and we actually accomplish what we set out to do
07:50with guys who have never sailed before,
07:53I would cherish that memory for the rest of my life.
07:56Boys, how are we feeling?
07:57Tired.
07:58My body hurts bad.
08:00I'm tired of having sand everywhere in me.
08:02I'm feeling great.
08:02I slept really good.
08:03Shut up.
08:04The objectives for today are clear.
08:06We tie down the poop deck, gather materials to make paddles.
08:10Then we build a sail?
08:11No.
08:13Then we test it, make sure it floats.
08:15If it floats, then we build a sail.
08:18If it don't float, I'm swimming.
08:19When Chandler and I went to find materials, I realized most of this video so far
08:23has just been us forging through trash, trying to find what we need for a sailboat.
08:27But this trash was our only hope for getting off this island,
08:29because we still needed that fourth barrel.
08:32We're uneven.
08:33Like, that end's going to be weird.
08:34Yeah, we need a fourth barrel.
08:35Well, yeah.
08:37I really think at this point we just have to literally walk until we find it.
08:41I just want you to know right now, it is like 100 degrees.
08:44I am sweating.
08:46This island is unbearable.
08:49How'd it go Chandler?
08:50Did you get what you needed?
08:52He doesn't seem to be in a happy mood.
08:53You got to play to everybody's strengths.
08:55One lash tied the wrong way and this whole thing could fall apart.
08:58I can tie knots probably better than anyone here,
09:01so I should be the one doing them and checking them.
09:03We're still looking for a blue barrel.
09:04We've been literally scouring the beach for two hours.
09:07This is ridiculous.
09:08Wait, hold on.
09:09See something?
09:10There's no way.
09:11No way!
09:13Boom!
09:14Come here!
09:16Let's go.
09:18We have to carry it back through a mile of rocks.
09:22Oh my god, I'm gonna pass out.
09:23You okay?
09:23I don't think I can carry it.
09:25Legitimately.
09:25I think I'm gonna pass out if I try to carry it.
09:27Dang, I should have brought my water.
09:29We found this metal thing washed ashore.
09:32And we're gonna build a fire under it so we can boil pieces of plastic
09:36that we can then mold into paddles.
09:39All right, let's go get some more firewood and see what happens to the plastic.
09:43I'm not carrying the water.
09:43It was a bad idea.
09:45Yeah, I'm starting to get tingly fingers and tunnel vision in the eyes.
09:54Oh my god, it is so hot.
09:58There he is!
10:00There he is!
10:03There he is!
10:05There he is!
10:05There he is!
10:08I'm not going searching for anything or carrying it back ever again after this.
10:14Haze!
10:16Haze!
10:16That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
10:19Darius is walking up with a blue barrel.
10:22Haze, I leave me Nolan's home.
10:23He's not looking too good.
10:25I got you, buddy.
10:26I got you.
10:26Chill out.
10:27He's gonna pass out.
10:28Water.
10:29I need water.
10:29Drink, drink, drink.
10:30Camel up.
10:31Honestly though, he came back with a barrel and a rudder.
10:34Worth it.
10:35We might actually be able to do this, Nolan.
10:38Nolan.
10:40This was one of those moments that we realized it was going to take all of us working together
10:45to succeed.
10:45We had already gone through more than half of our water supply.
10:48So we literally cannot afford to stay here much longer.
10:51And now that we had the last barrel that we needed, it was time to lock in.
10:55All the barrels are now lashed into a cradle.
10:58These are going to be the mechanisms that keep us afloat and they are not going anywhere.
11:02Hopefully.
11:02Well, if they do, we're just going to sink.
11:04And then we're going to have to start all over.
11:07So now that that's done, it's time to do the crossbeams.
11:10This is the lashing we're going to be replicating for all 17 beams.
11:14And we also have to do it on both sides.
11:17And then you broke it.
11:19We're trusting this rope to hold us together while we sail across the ocean.
11:24We are now at a critical junction.
11:26We have two options.
11:28Keep building, cross our fingers it works, and if it falls apart on the day of, we're just screwed.
11:32Or we can take a break, put this in the water, and, you know, see if it floats before we
11:37go any further.
11:39See if she floats.
11:41Let's go swimming.
11:42Let's do it.
11:42All right.
11:43Woo!
11:44All this time on an island leads to this moment right here.
11:48Come on.
11:49We are going to trust these knots.
11:51We're sailing us to that island over there.
11:53Dan, you broke it.
11:53I'm not like a shipwright or anything.
11:55I just like know some stuff.
11:57It floats!
11:58Hey!
11:59It's floating!
12:00Yeah, baby!
12:01Yes!
12:02The boat actually floats!
12:04Yeah!
12:05Yes!
12:05We passed the float test.
12:07This is crazy.
12:08Now picture this with an actual floor, a sail, some rudders, and some oars.
12:14Boys, we're going to be cooking.
12:16We're going to that island!
12:17This is the first time in this entire video where I felt like this is actually possible now.
12:21On this channel, we do so many videos where we build massive sets, and we bring down hundreds
12:26of contestants, and we give away large prizes, like a million dollars.
12:30And honestly, sometimes it's just nice to, you know, get dropped off on an island with your four
12:34friends and build a sailboat.
12:36Like, it's hot.
12:37There's bugs.
12:38This is definitely one of the harder videos.
12:39Don't get me wrong.
12:40This isn't easy.
12:41But there's just something so fun about hanging out with the boys again.
12:43We used to do videos like this all the time, and not really sure why we stopped,
12:46but I'm going to have a lot of fun.
12:49I think if we lock in by the end of tomorrow, we could have a sailboat.
12:52And then day after tomorrow, if the current's right, we could set sail for that island.
12:56But as you can see, we're missing a pretty important piece of this puzzle.
13:00Right now, we have a raft, not a sailboat.
13:04Essentially, we need to make something that can catch the wind to drive us across the ocean.
13:09So today, we make a sail.
13:12We got to get out of here.
13:13Water situation's getting low.
13:15Nolan's looking rough.
13:16His bug bites got me a little worried.
13:18I have over 60 bug bites on my arms and hands alone.
13:22Legitimately, if we do not leave tomorrow, I do not know how much longer I can do this.
13:27I'm going to make sure it gets done.
13:29We're leaving tomorrow.
13:31We failed.
13:32We could not melt the plastic.
13:33I mean, the water was literally boiling.
13:35So in theory, shouldn't the plastic be boiling as well?
13:37That's how I cook noodles.
13:38I don't understand, but that's why you watch Mark Rober, not us.
13:41Yeah.
13:41You're here to watch a bunch of idiots survive on an island.
13:43Wait, what?
13:44You see, what a skeg does is it allows the boat to go straight, even when it doesn't want to.
13:49Perfect.
13:49I have a new plan, Chandler.
13:50What if, you see, you picking up what I'm putting down?
13:53Okay.
13:54Wait, turn it sideways?
13:55Now we have an oar.
13:56Oh, okay.
13:57Well, we'll tie it down.
13:58You get the idea.
13:59This is just a prototype.
14:00Let's see how it works.
14:02Is it sad that a paddle looks more like a flag than a paddle?
14:04We'll tie it a little tighter.
14:05Oh yeah.
14:06We built four of these bad boys.
14:07We're to be rowing.
14:10I will say my shoulders are already tired and we might have to do this for hours.
14:14I need super thin, tough bamboo.
14:17This is our sail right here.
14:19Crab sail, just like the ancient Polynesians.
14:21All right.
14:22And after Hayes was done tying off the sail to the mast, it was time to draw a hole for
14:26the hinge of the sail.
14:27If that fails, the whole sail breaks.
14:29Um, yeah, this is going to be interesting.
14:32Yep.
14:33And just like that, we all took a task and became this beach-ridden, well-oiled machine.
14:38Give me this shirt.
14:40Just working on the skags.
14:42I really hope this sail works.
14:44Almost done with this oar.
14:46This rope is freaking stuck.
14:48I don't know if we're going to be able to do this.
14:49This last leg of building was literally make or break.
14:51If we wanted any chance of getting to that island tomorrow because...
14:55We're at extreme tides with the new moon.
14:58If we go while high tide is going out to low tide, it's going to suck us right out,
15:02straight towards that island.
15:03Timing is perfect.
15:04If we can finish this today, tomorrow could be absolutely perfect.
15:07And with less than 12 hours till the tide changed, we kept pushing.
15:10And it was now time to mount the sail.
15:12Yeah, it is working.
15:14Yes!
15:14Oh, look, we can win!
15:15The oars are done.
15:18It's pretty good, actually.
15:19Never finished!
15:20The wind's going to hit this and push us forward, but if we don't like the direction of the wind,
15:24we just pull this rope.
15:26Boom!
15:26The sail's gone.
15:27Good job.
15:29It's about to get dark here pretty soon.
15:31Yeah, it's pretty much an hour and a half to get down whatever we want to get down before it
15:34gets dark.
15:34And we kept working for hours into the night, pushing ourselves until we hit complete exhaustion.
15:39It's almost midnight.
15:41Let's give them updates.
15:42Chandler, what are you working on?
15:44Oh, I don't even know.
15:46What is this called?
15:47I don't think anybody's brains are really working anymore.
15:49Am I creating a rudder?
15:51We're usually asleep by now.
15:53I feel like I'm making a rudder.
15:57I'm going to use a saw.
15:58You good?
16:02We're done.
16:03And that was it.
16:04At this point, we had done all we could together to get off this island once and for all.
16:15As I dreamed through the night, all I could think about was leaving this island,
16:20going home, seeing my family.
16:23But the only way to get back to them is this makeshift sailboat across an ocean of infinite danger.
16:33Today, the fate of our lives rest in the hands of mother nature.
16:37By the end of today, we will be on that island.
16:40And the only thing separating us from her power is this sailboat and each other.
16:45Oh, awesome.
16:46Let's go.
16:47Look at that ocean.
16:48It's finally about to happen, bro.
16:50I can't believe it.
16:51After a week of slaving away, this is the contraption we came up with.
16:56It's time.
16:57Before we set sail and land on that island or in the middle of the Pacific Ocean like the Titanic.
17:03Titanic was in the Atlantic.
17:06Now you ruined it.
17:08I want to tell you guys about Typeless, a smart voice keyboard that turns your speech into perfect
17:13writing in every app.
17:15And since there's a chance we could drown in the ocean, we should send Tariq a message.
17:20Tariq, we're about to sail to an island.
17:21Uh, and if we don't make it, I hate you.
17:24Uh, yeah.
17:25And thanks to Typeless, you'll see it translates the message.
17:28It gets rid of all the filler words and restructures your sentence.
17:31That's good.
17:32I say a lot of filler words.
17:33Gotta do.
17:34Tariq, this is Chandler.
17:35Um, where are you?
17:36We needed your help.
17:37And see, all the ums and everything is gone.
17:39Wow, it really did.
17:40Ain't a punctuation.
17:41Tariq, I'm messaging you on Typeless, which is available on iOS and Android,
17:45as well as Mac and Windows.
17:46Removes filler words, restructures your sentences, and makes typing four times faster.
17:51Scan this QR code to never type again using Typeless.
17:55All right.
17:55Who's ready to get off this island?
17:57Let's go.
17:58When you're tired, what are you going to do?
18:00Keep battling.
18:01When you're even more tired, what are you going to do?
18:03Keep battling.
18:03When you want to stop paddling, what are you going to do?
18:06Keep battling.
18:07Paddle on three.
18:08One, two, three, paddle.
18:10I don't have a paddle.
18:13The moment of truth.
18:17All right, we're in too deep now, boys.
18:19It's now or never.
18:21The current's great.
18:22Oh, dude, it's sucking me out.
18:23Get those paddles ready.
18:24Paddle like you've never paddled before.
18:26Paddle, paddle, paddle.
18:27Come on, we've got to get past this.
18:28Right side, paddle, more.
18:30How we got it?
18:30How are you doing?
18:31Not well, this is not working.
18:32Keep paddling.
18:35Come on.
18:37Oh my god, this is going to be the longest day imaginable.
18:39Come on.
18:39We land on that island or we die.
18:41The tide is helping us.
18:43We will get there.
18:43Find a rhythm.
18:44The current is naturally wanting to take us out, so that's helping us.
18:47But this current won't help us for long, because in just a few hours we will enter this channel, where
18:53the current will try to pull us sideways, directly into open ocean.
18:57So we need to use everything we have now to get us as close to the island as possible.
19:04Let's see if we can catch some wind and sail to the island.
19:08There we go, guys.
19:09We're getting a breeze now.
19:10Yeah, we are.
19:11Heck yeah.
19:11Now we're moving at one mile an hour.
19:13One mile an hour at least means we'll make it.
19:15I know it doesn't feel like it, but we're actually moving now.
19:17This is how far away we are from the island so far, and you can't even see the island still.
19:22And that's because we still have over five miles to go, and we have no clue how long it will
19:27take us.
19:2820 minutes in.
19:29How's everyone doing?
19:30Very tired already.
19:32Bad.
19:32I'm already getting sick.
19:33I'm sorry, guys.
19:34You've got to paddle the whole time.
19:35But it was clear that if all four of us paddled nonstop for hours.
19:40Dude, my arms are already tired.
19:41I don't envy you guys right now.
19:43We would burn ourselves out before we even made it to the channel.
19:46We're heading straight up wind, pretty much, which is crazy.
19:49So as captain of our ship.
19:50Right side, keep paddling.
19:52I'm trying.
19:53Continuous paddling.
19:54My back's tired, so I'm paddling like I'm sleeping.
19:57Hayes came up with a strategy.
19:59I think this oaring style is no good, guys.
20:01We're going to do 15-minute rotations.
20:02You get a little bit of a break.
20:03Let's do three people on the right.
20:05Nolan, come over.
20:06Yeah.
20:06We're rotating rowing and giving one person a break.
20:09I'm currently on my break.
20:10God, my shoulder is killing me.
20:12Jimmy, can you switch?
20:13My turn to sub in at the front.
20:15Let's get it, boys.
20:16Now we're cruising.
20:17Do or die, baby.
20:20We are approximately 45 minutes in, and it looks like we're about 20% there.
20:25But now, as we made our way closer to the channel, things were starting to turn south.
20:30Oh, no.
20:31The paddle broke.
20:31No, it's paddle broke.
20:32Dude, this is a big problem.
20:34I know.
20:35I'm just going to shove it in there and hope it works.
20:36Yeah, that's not going to work, but I don't know.
20:38I got to keep paddling.
20:38And if the oars weren't enough.
20:40Oh, no.
20:41Wait, no.
20:41We dropped part of the boat.
20:42Even though Hayes fell.
20:43I got to keep the paddling.
20:45Sorry, guys.
20:45That cost us.
20:46And to cap it off, we weren't even pointed in the right direction.
20:50Oh, wait.
20:50We're definitely turning sideways.
20:52Anytime we're off course, we got to all paddle.
20:54Ready?
20:54Here we go.
20:55Big long strokes.
20:56Pull as hard as you can.
20:56The wind is picking up, too.
20:58I'm giving her all she's got.
21:00The harder you pull, the more we turn.
21:01That's good.
21:02There we go, guys.
21:04Now we're turning it.
21:05All right, we're back on course.
21:06We are pointed in the right direction.
21:08We're sailing.
21:10Woo!
21:10It's been a rough start, but we're finally catching a groove.
21:13There's no one else I'd rather be stuck in the middle of the ocean paddling with.
21:17Yeah, we're getting really far away from the island we came from.
21:20I can't even see our beach anymore.
21:21It's basically smooth sailing from here.
21:23There's a lot of work.
21:24A lot of work is an understatement.
21:27Because with tons of progress came even more fatigue.
21:31I know.
21:32I'm dehydrated.
21:33Chandler, how are you doing, buddy?
21:34You don't look so hot.
21:34You feeling all right?
21:35I'm feeling sick.
21:36I don't know how far away we are.
21:38Feels like it's been hours, two hours at least.
21:40And we've built a boat for six days straight, 12 hours a day.
21:44So we're all tired.
21:45I don't know why.
21:46My shoulder's fried.
21:47Chandler, I might need you to tap them for me.
21:49I'm seeing stars because I'm really hurting right now.
21:52More beach to go.
21:52Oh.
21:54Dude, the sun is beaming.
21:56We are cooking like lobsters in the sun.
21:59I mean, this is excruciating.
22:01At this point, I genuinely don't know if we're going to make it or not.
22:03But as I've said all along, the current we are going to face inside of this channel is so strong
22:08that it will do everything to push us sideways into the deadly open ocean.
22:12And now we weren't hours away, but rather minutes.
22:17Whoa, we're getting really wavy.
22:18This is the channel.
22:19We're in the open ocean right now.
22:21It wants to take us out.
22:23Darius, stop right now.
22:24Stop.
22:24Do not paddle anymore.
22:25You don't understand.
22:26Like, if I stop paddling for five seconds, we're going to literally be facing this.
22:28I know, but we're going to turn into the wind, which is what we can't do.
22:31We're already about to be turned into the wind.
22:32All right, guys.
22:33Let's go.
22:37We need to get through this channel.
22:38This is the most current, the most wind.
22:40And your power is keeping us from going too far south, so we can actually make the crossing.
22:44I haven't stopped paddling.
22:46Dude, I feel like we're starting to lose steam.
22:48No, we're not starting to lose steam.
22:49This is our second wind.
22:50Let's go.
22:50Back paddle, back paddle, back paddle, back paddle.
22:53We're working on it.
22:53We're working on it.
22:55I'm literally paddling as hard as I can.
22:58Love you for it.
23:00We're all burnt out.
23:02We're tired, but we're not giving up.
23:04I feel like I'm going to vomit.
23:05Giving up's not an option.
23:07We worked too hard to lose here.
23:08100% we're going to do it.
23:10Zero doubt.
23:11My arms are like noodles now.
23:13They already were noodles.
23:14Dude, don't make me come up there.
23:15I'll turn this ship around.
23:17Come on.
23:18For hours and hours, the current relentlessly pulled us to the left.
23:22All together, all together.
23:23Dragged us to the right.
23:24Paddle.
23:25We got to get on course.
23:25Come on.
23:26And spun us in circles.
23:27I'm getting so dizzy.
23:29Come on.
23:30Together, all at once.
23:31We realized we weren't making any progress.
23:34I feel like we kind of got stuck a little bit though.
23:36We're stranded.
23:37Here, in the middle of the ocean, we were starting to feel defeated.
23:42You think there's sharks under us right now?
23:44100%.
23:45At this point, we were too far to turn back and even more hopeless to keep going.
23:50I think Jimmy is about to throw up, and I think Chandler is asleep.
23:55We've been rowing on and off for six hours.
23:58Darius has been going the whole time.
23:59Hayes has been steering and holding the sail, and Jimmy's seasick, and all of our bodies are done.
24:05I can't go anymore.
24:06With me and Chandler now useless, this mission was all in the hands of Hayes, Nolan, and Darius.
24:13Darius, you're a G.
24:15Thanks, man.
24:15The island's 3.5 miles away.
24:17If we get into the proper wind direction from the island, then we can ride with the current and the
24:22wind.
24:23But the issue is we lost so much ground in the beginning that we're essentially climbing uphill so we can
24:28ride down the hill.
24:29And despite their efforts, we just weren't going to succeed without our entire team working together.
24:34It feels like we're not moving.
24:37I'm shaking.
24:39I'm literally shaking.
24:40We've been out here for seven hours now.
24:42This thing is just not moving like we thought it would.
24:45I really thought we had it.
24:47I did too.
24:48We were making such good ground, and in moments like this where we stopped paddling, we just start recessing.
24:53Now we're just getting sucked into the Pacific Ocean.
24:55I think it's time we break out the flare.
24:57I'm not going to say no.
24:59Dude, I can't go anymore.
25:00I've literally paddled almost nonstop the entire seven hours to get out here.
25:05And I don't know, I just can't hang anymore.
25:08And what sucks is it's literally right there.
25:11It's so close, but so far away.
25:14Before we set sail, we all made a promise.
25:17When you want to stop paddling, what are you going to do?
25:19Keep paddling!
25:21Laying here lifeless on this sailboat, I started to think about what I said two days ago.
25:27Sometimes it's just nice to get dropped off on an island with your four friends and build a sailboat.
25:32But this past week, I've had a lot of fun.
25:34And just as my hope was returning again, by some miracle, Mother Nature was pushing us.
25:40I don't know if you noticed this, but we're like turning towards the island without doing anything.
25:45Because the tide's coming up, so it's sucking us towards the land.
25:48And by this point, without even realizing it, we had officially escaped the channel.
25:53Darius, are we getting closer?
25:54It says 2.9 miles.
25:55You guys want to give it one more go?
25:57I think it's worth it.
25:58I'll give it my all.
25:59I may say I'm going to give up, but until I do it, I was never giving up.
26:03Paddle on three.
26:04One, two, three, paddle!
26:06It actually feels doable now.
26:08It's been over eight hours of rowing.
26:10We're all sunburned.
26:11We're hungry, dehydrated, but we refuse to give up.
26:15All right guys, we're 2.5 miles away now.
26:17If we keep going, we'll make it.
26:19Does anybody think we're not going to make it now?
26:201.7.
26:21Our guesstimations is we have a little bit over a mile left.
26:24Are you excited?
26:25We're almost there!
26:26Row!
26:28Row!
26:28Darius, remember when that thing said 2.6?
26:30I sure do.
26:31Now it says 1.
26:32And look how close that island is now.
26:35You know what's after 0.9?
26:360.8.
26:37You know what's after 0.8?
26:380.7.
26:39You know what's after 0.7?
26:410.6.
26:42We're almost there!
26:43We're almost there!
26:44I'm so freaking happy!
26:45Land ho!
26:46Woo!
26:47But our excitement was getting the best of us.
26:50Because right ahead was one final tide shift.
26:53We got 20 minutes until tide changes.
26:55We're almost out of time.
26:56If the wind is wrong and the currents are wrong,
26:58you can give me a motor and we will not get to that island.
27:02This is it, guys.
27:03Leave it all on the table.
27:05We're in the home stretch, but this is really do or die.
27:07We're probably a third of a mile away,
27:10but if we let the current take us,
27:11we're going to completely miss the island,
27:12and this video is screwed.
27:14We're tracking too far right.
27:15Dude, we're going to miss it!
27:16Is that funny?
27:17Come on, guys.
27:18We need the power.
27:18This is the end.
27:19This is the last 15 minutes.
27:20Come on.
27:21Power, power, power.
27:2311 hours on this boat!
27:24We're not about to lose now!
27:26This is our time.
27:27We can see the island.
27:28We can get to the island.
27:30Do it together.
27:31Teamwork.
27:32Only 10 more minutes!
27:33I'm going to freaking throw up, bro.
27:35But right when we were 95% of the way there,
27:38with barely anything left,
27:41everything went wrong.
27:42The wind's totally shifted on us.
27:44We're getting a gnarly cross breeze.
27:45Should we put the sail down?
27:46I feel like the sail might be pushing us further south.
27:48I don't think we're going to beat the wind without it.
27:50But I mean,
27:51do you not feel where the wind's coming to?
27:52Because the wind's on our face right now.
27:54Hey, I think we should put the sail up.
27:55That doesn't make any sense to me.
27:56We're getting further away.
27:58Five.
27:59We're going to push,
27:59or we're going to miss it.
28:00Right side, right side, right side.
28:01Here we go.
28:04Four.
28:05Why is the ocean so difficult?
28:07One.
28:08Three.
28:09We've got to push.
28:10Two.
28:11We've got to cuddle.
28:12I'll cuddle with my hand if I got to.
28:16Come on.
28:17Just roll.
28:17As hard as you can.
28:19Three.
28:20I'm pushing, man.
28:23Two.
28:25Two.
28:26Two.
28:27Two.
28:27Two.
28:28Two.
28:29Two.
28:32Two.
28:33Two.
28:34Two.
28:34Two.
28:35We're not making forward progress anymore.
28:38The tide shifted and it ripped us right out.
28:42The water that was once pushing behind us was now pushing against us.
28:47And there was nothing we could do.
28:49We were so close.
28:51Are we getting further?
28:534.5 away.
28:56Could have swam to it.
28:58Is this a little last cause?
29:03That's it.
29:04I'm sorry, guys.
29:05I can't believe it.
29:07We were so close to the island.
29:10And now we're getting farther away.
29:12Watching what we were trying to accomplish just slip from our fingers.
29:16I'm going to freaking cry, but I can't believe we just did all that and we didn't make it.
29:20This sucks, man.
29:22We almost did it.
29:24After almost 12 hours of paddling and sailing in this makeshift boat.
29:29Man, if we were just 20 minutes faster, we'd be on that island.
29:32We were right there.
29:33I'm sorry, guys.
29:34We all could have done better.
29:36Let's shoot the flare.
29:38I hate these things.
29:42This was the most difficult challenge I've ever done on this channel.
29:46And for us to get so close and miss, all because the tide changed in the final five percent,
29:52makes this even harder.
29:54I don't know what to say.
29:55I hate losing.
29:57And I don't like this feeling.
29:58And I feel like I'm letting you guys down.
30:00Really sorry.
30:01So you have my word.
30:02Our next challenge video, I'm not failing again.
30:05I'm going to go board this helicopter and I'll catch you later.
30:07I'll catch you later.
