96 Hour Island Survival (no food, water, or shelter)

[@adambrown7609]

Nate's parents are troopers. I can only imagine Nate's imagination as a child. Christie and James could start a channel called the Nate Chronicles.

[@alexafox4743]

Lololol this is a great idea 😂

[@susanadams-wauro6716]

Yes to the above

[@albertarose1433]

100 💯 agree! Total Rock Stars! Nate you look just like them too - and maybe inherited their sense of adventure. ❤

[@occhamberseastkilbride4936]

if they did I would 100 watch all of their adventures and i would love for Nate and James to bike the Colorado trail that would be amazing

[@laurab32459]

Maybe Christie and James need to do a series on van life! 😊

[@JJ-fromDK]

The accent and humor of Nate's dad is a pure joy to watch

You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this video! Visiting my beautiful Motherland, Tonga 🇹🇴 🤍 Both my Tongan Grandad and I will definitely be watching this together, this one is special. Love you guys x

❤🇹🇴

[@jeannedennis5863]

I just love Nates parents. Their personalities are definitely where Nate got his.

[@peytonharris3861]

Nate’s mama is so stinking cute!! So proud of y’all! Can’t wait to see the rest! Kara, I love when you do all the things and are proud of yourself because you totally should be!

[@jman9806]

Wish I had this relationship with my parents truly a blessing to have these two in your lives especially doing something like this shows what a family you have happy for you all thank you for this amazing content from Nova Scotia here !

[@virastefaniya2716]

I’m only 4 minutes in and I have a feeling Nate’s dad is going to be so much better at this than Nate and Dusty were last time! He’s climbing those palm trees like a pro and the two sticks with ropes to get coconuts down was probably his idea. Such amazing parents ❤️

[@Boats_N_Hoez]

Cuz he’s a southern boy

[@STAY143EVER]

Actually They discovered that way to get them down in the first video they made but I’m still pretty sure that yet Nate stats probably going to be a really good asset in the team and I think they’re definitely gonna survive and probably thrive on this beautiful island

[@susanlowe8603]

@@Boats_N_Hoezyou’re so correct 😂😂

[@laurasadie8357]

I adore the parents! So glad your families are willing to be in your videos! What a lovely bunch you all are. I saw this video but then put off watching it to savor it later on. It was worth saving! I need to start over again and watch this channel from the beginning with my kids.

[@Zz2424zxcvbnn]

I recently watched your interview on The Unplanned Podcast. I enjoyed the entire interview, but there was one thing that impressed me the most. When they asked you which country you felt had the friendliest people, you mentioned the Kurds that you met in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. I recall in one of your earlier videos, Nate had jokingly asked you if you would like to visit the Middle Eastern countries ending in ‘-stan’, knowing it was outside of your comfort zone, and you fervently answered, “no thanks!’ Seeing how much you’ve grown through your journey and your unwavering respect for all people, while disregarding the vast cultural, political and religious differences from where you grew up, is just one of the reasons I adore and support your channel. You both are genuinely good people and are a rare, but perfect example of how social media influencers should act! God bless!

[@wildsurvivalskills]

It was a pleasure getting to hang with you guys and your parents! Great job on your isolation!! Hopefully we cross paths again soon!

[@desigoodwin5148]

Hi Kara and Nate, I'm thirteen years old and love you guys!!!! Thank you for being the coolest people and so inspiring. God bless you!!!

[@christaannwilder55]

You all always make me smile ❤

[@AshUndone]

Your parents are champions! I hope they take a luxurious vacation after their survival experience!

[@LtNduati]

I was beginning to think Kara was my spirit animal, but I'm certain Nates Parents havetaken on that role. THese guys (Kara & Nate included) are just the best, love everything they do,honestly, thankyou covid for closing the worldtwo weeks after I found their channel

[@boohoolulu2503]

I love the way Nate always encourages Kara❤ mom and dad did GREAT 👍

[@karen6778]

Aw Nate your parents are gorgeous. ❤ lovely to see them sharing this adventure with you and Kara. If you hadn’t taken that first flight years ago they wouldn’t be experiencing this now. It’s beautiful to know that what you two have been experiencing and accomplishing over the years has also brought your family and your friends such wonderful experiences that they might not have had otherwise. Xx

[@michellegreer2183]

Cheers to the Buchanan tribe! I love seeing James and Christie again, they are truly amazing and inspiring. Its easy to see what an example they have been to Kara and Nate. Thank you for taking us along on another great adventure.

[@asmronthego2146]

A smile from ear to ear the entire video.I. am so happy for you both! The growth is everything:)

[@mpampissavvidis2494]

I don't know who is behind this and if Kara is still editing the videos but it's getting better and better! Fantastic job from the editor! Looking forward to the next parts! Love you guys!

[@faithwithsheldon]

I think they have an editor now

[@travelertrome8449]

I cannot believe that Kara and Nate decided to do this again. Didn't seem too long ago that they were flying in first class in the lap of luxury. They want to show everyone that success has not made them soft!

[@laurenm8561]

I say this with total love, respect and admiration .... You guys are totally crazy! Couldn’t be 4 better people to do this challenge. Thanks again for another cool video 💞

[@laruedouglas7972]

Your mom and dad are such good troopers 🥰. A lot better than last year for you and Nate.

[@oldstuffbethtx8052]

Your parents are real troopers, Nate. I hope there was a reward afterward for their efforts.

[@paultimis5883]

kara seem to be the nicest person on earth, i wish i had the same positive energy if i were doing this survival i would hate it and be so down on myself. keep up the awesome content you guys!!

[@kateszyslowski836]

you guys are so inspirational! I am 13 and you guys have made me want to travel the world and do van life. I didn’t watch a couple of your last videos so now I get to watch a ton today! Whenever I am traveling or in the airport I always try and keep my eye out for you guys!! Safe travels😊

[@kristinwright6632]

I just love Mom's Tennessee accent. As a woman of over 60 who tries to keep active but has had some health issues causing setbacks in the last few years, I am so happy and envious of seeing Nate's folks out there doing this. I just hope when my ordeals have eased I will be back out there with a pack on my back. Not in survival mode. Just a simple camping weekend. That is all I'm asking anymore. In the meantime, here is my inspiration.

[@twohumansonajourney]

We loved this video! ♥️What really impressed us is that Nate's parents were open to doing such a challenge, even with their massive following. You all have such incredible courage. I hope to learn from your stellar content creation and positive family values. Wishing you continued success! Let me know if you have any tips for an aspiring channel like ours.😃

[@heatherrowles9930]

I know right? My mother is 84 now but I know for certain that she has never, in her entire life, slept in a tent.......never.

[@JillTravenner]

Wow, watching your journey through the 96-hour island survival challenge in Tonga was truly inspiring! Your determination, resilience, and teamwork in the face of such difficult conditions were amazing to witness. Your vlog not only showcased the beauty of the deserted island but also highlighted the importance of survival skills and resourcefulness. Thanks Kara and Nate for taking us along on this incredible adventure!🎉❤

[@coleengoodell7523]

You guys absolutely killed it. I've been watching "The Island" and not one of the groups ever covered all the bases on the first day. To be honest, they did have to trek to find a beach and try not to get lost. I've also not seen one with the innovation to make the coconut retrieval method so seamless. Nate's parents are amazing and raised a wonderful son. Stay safe and God bless.

[@thekatelynnb6606]

I've always been so inspired by Kara and Nate but Christie and James!!! Wow! I wanna be as active and supportive as they are at their age!! so inspirational

[@chrissyobermeyer1139]

I love Nate’s parents! They are so awesome for doing this with you guys!

[@SofiaToral-l4z]

Thank you!! this video made me forget for a second about the fires in my beautiful home Tenerife, Canary Islands. You all stay safe out there and Kara&Nate you guys rock 🤟

[@bridgetedwardslivelifefully]

Fantastic memories you're making together! ❤ Congrats on your successful survival skills 👏 👌 🙌 Nate your parents are wonderful, so down to earth and such troopers for being willing to explore this challenge with you and Kara. 🌟

[@mychemical74]

So cool , so proud of Nate’s parents, for being nuts enough to do one of your crazy challenges, and I’m so happy I get to watch you all make another wick video … ❤🇬🇧

[@ZombicidalMadMom81]

I'm surprised you guys are doing the survivor thing again, but pleasantly so! In my part of the world, it's standard to learn how to survive in the woods; we all learn how it's done in middle school. The annual 7th-grade camping trip then the next year, the dreaded 8th-grade survival trip lol the only tools we can bring are whatever we can fit into one of the smaller-sized tin coffee cans; w/ fishing line wrapped around the outside and holes poked into the can itself so the bottom can be used as a cooking surface. Just place the fire on the ground, put the can upside down over the fire, with the bottom facing up, and as long as you have holes in the can to let the smoke out, the flat bottom heats up and becomes the cooktop. I can't help but think how much more fun it would've been w/o having to worry about the damn cold & rain lol I live in an Alaskan island town called Ketchikan, nicknamed the First City because it's usually the 1st city one comes to when traveling to Alaska by boat or plane. My island town is located in the middle of the Tongass National Rainforest, the largest national forest in the U.S. and it's a cold-ass rainforest; a temporal one, not a tropical one, so we're always wet around here. Owning lawn furniture is silly & pointless because if it's not water-proof it'll get ruined; and if it is, it's always going to be wet and no one wants to sit on a hard, wet surface. It doesn't stop raining long enough for anything to dry out outside.

[@skillabration-school]

Wow! Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@iam_madaki]

What nate and cara does is just pure love, so adoring.

[@dianaplanas2095]

It’s just so cool to watch you guys challenge yourself to the limits. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@Mildgreenwow]

Ive seen every episode and season of US Survivor multiple times but never once knew how they split the palm leaves haha... Great tutorials (cordage, bow drill etc) along with the actual survival aspect! Go Kara for starting fire by herself as well as Nate!!

[@celiamenes143]

I love this series! You guys are so brave to do this. Can’t wait for part 2!

Sooo heartwarming seeing Nates parents, such great people. Like the all of u are! Love you K+N and love every video!

[@vickybarritt6234]

Its so wonderful that your parents wanted to do this survival challenge with you Nate. I could never talk my parents into doing something like this with me so I have nothing but admiration for them. I'm sure you will all talk about this for years to come along with the memories you will all make during your time on the island. Wonderful video guys as usual and I look forward to seeing part two xx

[@e.b.]

without a doubt my favorite thing about this episode is listening to Nate's Tennessee accent come out from spending so much time around his parents!

[@janef5578]

Loved this, as I do all your videos! I think it's great that you can give your parents such a great experience Nate. Can't wait for the next one

[@paultimis5883]

i love the survival video you did with dusty and sarah last year i have just stared watching this video so i hope its just as good with nate's parents!!

I love both of Nate’s parents, but his dad-has me cracking up 😂😂 he’s so great

[@jennifer6833]

I started watching your channel today, started with Svalbard because I subscribe to Cecilia’s channel it popped up, I remembered them having you join them. Then the long flights to where you currently are. Magnificent content! I completely get why you’ve got 3.4 million subscribers on your channel, it’s unique and fun! New subscriber as of today!

[@imshaehen9971]

I'm lovin this series. Nate's parents are so cool!

I applaud your parents doing this with you. They are amazing.

[@msvespa3]

Thoroughly enjoyed this, can't wait for part 2. Nate, your parents are so cool.

[@Angela-1974]

Kara definitely deserves an award for going along with Nate's crazy ideas. Gotta say, fair play to Nate's parents for agreeing to take part. I definitely would not survive 😂 Great video as always 😎👍

[@brittaniblair3859]

I truly think having your dad with u is not only a wonderful memory, but old dad got yall a house on that island! ❤ love u guys ! Safe travels, an I can't wait to see what yall do next! Much love from eastern Kentucky!

[@AryaJazzy]

I’m obsessed with ur videos I’m so grateful for your content! ❤😊

[@kevinfleming9919]

Two times that Tom Hanks in the movie Cast Away popped in my head watching this. 1, was when you were drinking the coconut water and Tom talking in the movie about how coconut water is a natural laxative as he's going behind a bush, and 2 was when Kara started a fire and Tom was celebrating on the beach waving the burning palms around, singing "come on baby light my fire" and bragging to himself about making the fire, and I expected that scene to pop up after Kara was celebrating making her fire! lol! 😅

[@imscanon]

Look at ya'll go! You're way better this round. Well freaking done!

[@KaraandNate]

Thank you!!! Tonga is a bit more forgiving in many ways 😄🙌🏼

[@catherinelam9381]

I never thought that i would be such elated just simply seeing fire coming out successfully. You all are brilliant!!! What a trip!

So, my parents and I were set to travel to visit my sister in Alaska (we live in Mass). Then, my mom and I came down with COVID (we are vaccinated, we will be fine), so, it’s not safe to travel and we were so sad. Your channel and some coffee are EXACTLY the cheering up I need today. Thank you for that. ❤️❤️❤️

22:43 omg this is so creative I could never this looks so fun tho

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

That was entertaining. I can't wait to see part 2. The takeaway from this for me was. I would have brought a mylar survival blanket in place of the sleeping bag. A mylar blanket is waterproof. It retains your body heat, It can be used as shelter in the rain. It can be used to shelter from the heat or cold. I would have built a raised bed using tree branches and palm branches. Great idea for getting the coconuts out of the trees and using the shells for bowls. You could carve some spoons out of the coconut shells, too. You could pull some of the meat out of the coconut and dry it in the sun to make coconut chips. Build a little smoker over a fire and smoke some fish to eat for protein throughout the day. Pour some coconut water over the fish for flavor. 😊

[@kathernhenderson5757]

I'm really loving this one with the parents. They're doing very well. Please do one with both sets of parents with the van.
