[@dragonballzenyamouth93]

@@TriforceOfCourage97 I think the real joke is the cover is there in the first place. I am pretty sure there are not random kids on the island running around and falling down wells. The cover only hurts the people that need water and I am sure not many are there for fun. What is the islands population .... Zero. Oh eccept the one cop that patrols the well and arrests shipwrecks who need water and go to the well. I saw this in death valley CA once. There is a cold water spring in the middle oh no where that people used for years. Than one day it has a grate on it. On the hotest place on earth that could cost lives , but the government dont want you going there. Think they claim some rare fish lives there and the fish are more important.

[@michaelchandler1042]

Bro, split your spear tip into 4 sections by cutting a “+” into it. Sharpen those 4 points and you’ve got more chance of hitting something compared to a singular point. Take it a step further and divide each 4 points before its sharpened, so there’s 8 points and more chance of hitting something. At the base of the split put small wedges to keep the tips apart and bind it together preventing it come loose. Watching you spend a whole day making a simple point is heartbreaking

[@TheBoerniBoom]

[@Daimon_at_It_For_Subs]

[@shekharm6035]

I dont know if you know this or not, but, there are 3 holes on the top of coconut, one of which you can puncture. That way you'll save water that you loose when you crack it open.

This was fascinating, I love the huge amount of evidence on the island of habitation both hundreds and thousands of years ago!

[@GrahamHancock-i1e]

I spent 25 days at a time on 2 separate kayaking expeditions with a company called NOLS. I first kayaked through a remote set of isles and sounds on the west coast of Vancouver. The second was on the west coast of Valdese in Alaska. These are both places almost completely uninhabited by people. It's true wilderness, much like where this guy is. A weird part of both experiences, but more in British Columbia, was finding these HUGE piles of eaten shellfish. I mean a couple were taller than me. These were relics from Native tribes that had lived and foraged there HUNDREDS of years ago. Really beautiful and weird. A feeling of timelessness. Like hundreds of years ago was just yesterday

[@acyrosriven]

While it does seem a little off, there is such an abundance of trash in the ocean that the likelihood of finding a spool with a good amount of line on them is extremely high. Additionally, since it is a Reef that's known for shipwrecks, I'm certain not just old ancient ships broke down here, but also quite a few small modern day fishing boats

[@nimakhosravii2662]

You can use a small trap to catch fish. Use one of the bottles by the beach, empty some bait in the bottle and tie the end of the bottle with a strap on the beach and fill the bottle with sea water and leave it in the water. After an hour, remove the bottle from the water. Pull it and some fishes have gone inside the bottle and you can eat them, in our country we use the same method to catch fish by the sea for fishing bait. Use oysters for the bait inside the bottle

What a lot of people don’t know is that you can boil water in coconut 🥥 shells, and heat soups providing you stir the contents. Providing there is liquid on the inside of the coconut, it won’t burn the shell provided the heat source 🔥 is below the shell.

[@KenFullman]

Also if you exclusively drink coconut milk, the diarrhoea will get you.

[@penguinvic9892]

@@KenFullman Absolutely, and the fact this excessive consumption of coconut water acts as a laxative was mentioned in the movie. Now it may be possible to exist on seafood and coconuts for awhile but nutrients deficiencies would catch up with Chuck sooner or later (probably sooner). Not shown in the movie, but Chuck would probably have eaten the migrating birdlife (the island with its rocky outcrop was idea for this), and possibly dispatched the odd lost penguin 🐧 (the island being in the Southern Pacific). The thing is with making soup 🍲 in coconut shells 🥥, is that small animals, fish, seaweed, etc, could go in the mix, and harmful bacteria 🦠 etc., maybe boiled out of them. Also because it’s “fresh water” does not mean it’s free of harmful germs 🦠. Boiling it in coconut shells 🥥 actually makes sense. Chuck’s island is quite small. With him on it the island 🏝 is probably almost reaching its Malthusian level.
