Hey people it's another program about the same person another show did. His story is worth telling more than once. Deal with it.

I rewatch that episode all the time so this is nice 👍🏽

Someone needs to give that raft company a 5 star rating

[@peterstoddard6225]

Steve loved the raft for obvious reasons. Yet after his experience he designed rafts that were far superior.

Just listened to his audible book Adrift and finished in 2 days what a story

[@Your_Boy_Dimes]

I know I shouldn’t be bringing negative vibes into the comments but the “I shouldn’t be alive” version of this is so much better, It’s so much more intense and adds some more specific details that just make it feel more whole as a story, they didn’t even mention how we dove back into the boat for supplies and his lungs almost burst while the boat was sinking, like come on now

[@someperson6329]

I am in agreement. This version was a low budget watered down disgrace. Too many important details from the original are missing.

[@jaynapickett618]

Yeah I just finished watching that one, now I'm watching this one. That one was great💯

[@Ransome1690]

And I guess youtube noticed how good that one was that they decided to take it down and market it as something to pay for or whatever because you can no longer find it in the search results, only this Hollywood donkey s**t version.

[@haydenwoodyard3624]

@@jaynapickett618 can you tell me where to watch the original I can’t find it on KZbin anymore

[@toniroberts8117]

I first saw this story on “I shouldn’t be alive”… season 4. Called 76 days at sea or something like that. Just omg WOW. It’s gut wrenching watching. I seriously literally would have died in a week. Guarantee. I just can’t believe he went through that. It makes me so sad thinking about all the other probably gillions of other people that survived an accident at sea for a great deal of time but were never found so their turmoils got completely lost. I can only imagine the stories we’d known of if everyone lost at sea could live to tell their tale.

[@nickmudd]

so the last episode of this guy made him look like he knew absolutely nothing where as this one makes it look like he was survival extraordinaire.

[@EllieJadeOke]

There's like 3 versions of this same thing!!!

[@lillyanderson753]

Incredible man, incredible story. Great re-enactment and some really interesting new details of his ordeal but the I Shouldn't Be Alive episode was definitely better.

[@timothinking9855]

This version covered his equipment much more clearly. Way better play by play of how he kept track and what he used to survive. This one feels more honest.

[@dgg1105]

What an amazing, smart survivor. God bless him. Awesome.

[@Views-rx8vt]

Wonder what the boat hit

[@hirotwo2018]

A whale

[@timothinking9855]

Both versions Worth watching. His type of resilience is rare.

[@husqv5147]

I bet the next ditch bag he assembled was the size of a refrigerator! 3 canned hams, 25 bags potato chips, 25lbs beef jerky, 144 candy bars, 2 kegs of water, case of dinty moore stew, 12 cans chili, 4 boxes saltines, 5 boxes twinkies.

Is this a true story? I've heard that he set it all up and was prepared for it and learnt how to look after himself before leaving and even had a book about how to survive in the ocean and he was a writer. Its quite crazy that he's in the perfect place for food. Id say most people would do this for fame and glory and money and i say and to much
