SURVIVAL CHALLENGE: (3 days with NO FOOD NO WATER) Eat what I catch & Coastal Foraging

I tried surviving on the coast for 3 days with no food or water, having to catch my own food and forage for something to eat. Was it easy? Did I get hungry? This video will show you exactly what I caught, foraged, and ate.
I slept on a sheepskin in a Onetigris tent, on a cliff, about 20m above the rocky shore. You will see that the UK laws prevented me from eating the majority of my catch, due to the minimum landing size limits for the various species. Fishing was really tough....was it the bait? Was it the time of year?
Overall, it was great to be on the coast practicing something that many of us have always wanted to try - Survival with no food or water. There are many ways to purify water but as you will see in the video I used a water filter. As mentioned, the traps could be made from washed-up materials or woven together using some dogwood, willow, bramble, or any other thin branch. Having knowledge will significantly help you in a 'real' situation like this. I don't know everything & I don't know it all! But I tried, using what I had.

WHAT WOULD YOUR FIRST MEAL BE AFTER DOING THIS CHALLENGE?

[@vikingbushcraft1911]

Breakfastus McDonaldus - a little known costal delicacy 😉

[@rumblechick73]

Steak and eggs with French toast and hash browns.

[@bvictory5698]

Real Mexican tacos, steak, cilantro, onion, some cheese, on corn tortilla, and Atleast a 32oz beer.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Yes....that sounds good.

[@bristolbushcraft]

Steak... Lots of steak.

[@cptechno]

A bit of advice mate! Review your finshing strategy. I recommend that you get enough of the rock seafood and mashed them with a rock to create paste and put them in a small bag made of cloth. You use this bag as bait inside of your net. The paste will mix with the local water and create a strong scent to attract bigger bait. Also, you should not put your net in places where the water waves come crashing. It's best to choose place where the water is relatively calm and as deep as you can find.

[@Zxtx5Kim-sw5ep]

What’s your source? Curious…

[@PurplePerinaise]

​@@Zxtx5Kim-sw5eplol.. Does experience need a source?

[@Ralphbo-u6l]

The source was the internet

[@Rasputin-p4e]

Wrong.

[@MN_ALGORITHMS]

Are we just catching bait or food

[@garyearly4674]

I appreciated your understanding and respect for mother nature Dustin. If only more people had that then mother nature would be in plentiful abundance. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

[@owendiaram3870]

Agreed. Dustin was even honest enough to check the sizes of everything he caught and toss it back if it didn't meet legal standards; a lesser man would most likely have just lied about its size.

[@Thehusler]

Mad letting that Conger go. There amazing eating

[@viz.on7]

Amazing video bud, one of your best videos. It's really cool to see some real survival, real scenario, emotions, struggle, hunger, thirst... it puts things in perspective, huh? Suddenly the rush for water, food, shelter... no pre-made pound steak. You actually need to walk, search, collect and work for your food, very interesting to watch. No store to run to and buy whatever you want, constant battle, really tough. I'm glad to see you take on such a challenge, very cool to see how you manage it, BIG respect to you. Please make more of those :)

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate your comment.

[@gailembleton662]

Your excitement is so good to see.. 👏🦀🦐 and I'm only half way through watching this..

[@gracethomas1891]

Good for you, Dustin! Man, I wouldn't have returned the eels or the smaller crabs! Oops! But you are the best at education and responsible sustainable fishing. Thanks for sharing!

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thank you Grace

[@eleildovieira9506]

Eu tmb não teria devolvido os peixes q foram pegos a base da sobrevivência e se alimentar bem mesmo que fuja da regra.

[@CurtisMassey]

Awe man, it broke my heart when you lost those crab. You were a real trooper about it. Great attitude.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks bro

Good video bro, looked a struggle at times but ya made it! Good effort, and lucky with the weather 👌🏼👍🏼

[@johnkorhonen5452]

Cook with seawater to save drinking water and don't waste energy to saw short lengths of firewood.I always start with a small fire and burn three or four long lengths in half and feed the burnt ends as needed into the fire.Cheers from sunny Australia.

[@irvingramirez4614]

Dustin, thank you for sharing this video with us I❤️ love what you do and it shows us what it's like to survive out in nature, struggle, respect for conservation and it's by laws and still pull through some tough times. You are truly gifted in your survival skills and bushcrafting. I would like to see you do some fishing alongside some rivers and lakes in a remote setting and use your skills as an outdoorsman and work your magic in a survival situation. Thank you for all you do and keep up the great 👍 👌 work, I'm loving ❤️ 😍 every bit of it. Your friend Ernie from NC, USA.

[@jaymannewell]

Good effort mate, Your environment seems alien to me so i could never fault a wild food harvester in the area and it is nice to see some honest survival challenge content, the kind where shhh happens and you just have to deal with it.

[@owendiaram3870]

I'm new to you channel and I can already tell what I like about this video compared to others like it. You walk us through your thought process, explain things about what you're doing and how which makes it so much more interesting than when it's just silent or some cheap background music.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks Owen 🙏

[@stevepratley]

As a pointer for next time mate, re bait your pots with the dead man's fingers and lower body shell from the crab's you just ate. Don't be afraid to move your pot's if they are not producing, even 5M along the shore could make the difference. A great video and thank you, looking forward to seeing some more.

3 days without packing in food or water. Surviving off what you can catch/pick! Your awesome! TA Fishing would like to catch those congas 😆

Those jailbreakin crabs!!.. *shakes fist*

Another excellent video. I learned a lot. I love the woodland setting of your usual videos but really enjoyed the change of scenery. Could you perhaps try a (well-stocked) lake setting next time?

Very nice video. The crab and prawns looked delicious but I would have probably kept all the shells and heads to put back on the boil for a nice bit of stock in the morning, really get all you can from out of the legs, heads, etc ... Especially in a survival situation.

I'd love to catch and cook a mud 🦀

[@ewengillies9826]

Nothing better than a 1.5kg muddy Dustin they're the best. Always cook your crabs n prawns in sea water to get the best taste mate. Great video as we always get from you. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us. Bushyboy Oz.

Oh, a choice cut of beef, a few tender asparagus with a drizzle of prefered sauce, an amount of red potatoes raw, butter on top with basil and parm baked tender inclusivly and an apropriate beverage mmm :)

[@RatdogDRB]

I'm surprised you didn't use a rock ling for bait, or an eel for bait in the traps. Might've gotten something better. I wondered how long before you took some limpets for yourself to supplement the crab. You didn't offer up your opinion of the One Tigris tent you used. Did you like it? Nice outing, loved seeing some of the coast of G.B. Thanks.

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

You should have boiled up your greens first, then the crab in the same pot with the greens and made a crab stock. Would have been a nutritional hot drink right before bed to go with the greens and ceab

[@johnrevill1087]

would love you too do something like this in maybe farmland, woodland, marshland, and mountainous areas too show it can be done an at all times of the year i know from growing up on the coast that its easy to forage on the coast all year round but in the afore mentioned areas it takes more skill and a good deal of seasonal knowledge to just survive

[@Snowzeus]

Love it. Great length. Too bad you couldn’t use those rock fish for bait. Awesome 👏 take care brother 😁🔥

[@dalebusby8298]

I would say from experience using those fold up lobster pots the smellier the fish the better as bait maybe next time I would of used the large rocking on the hook as bait for a fish cut it into strips on a pulley penned rig and the head and guts in the pots for a lobster and the conger would of been eaten ;) nice work my biggest wrasse was caught caught on limpet they can be a great bait float fished in a deep gulley the fish eat the black gut sack once that’s gone they tend to leave them as bait !

@@iaincraig4871 By drinking a lot of milk and juices. 2 gal of milk and 6-8 litres of juice per day. Why: I was training my body to survive long periods w/o food.
