A heads up for those who will watch the premiere: this video is 59 minutes.
Viewing on a bigger screen advised.
A really great way of getting ill is not washing your hands before eating in a tropical environment.
You're on a beach, wash your hands !! 😩
Respect Laura
surviving and daily tasks and living is my idea of a perfect living( basics without normal distractions )survival is a great focus for the mind, the peace and quiet , yes please
This was wonderful! I got choked up at the fire victory too. I bet you'd watch the movie "Castaway" with a whole new set of eyes now.
This was so enjoyable to watch! My favourite bit was when you got the fire going!
Brilliant Laura, amazing adventure 😊
i thought you're only by yourself but the cameraman couldn't lie 😂
Thank you Laura for inspiring us with your positive vibe and your motto: "Just get on with it" – this is what many people need to hear but often don't apply to their lives (me included)! But thanks to your motto, I finally got back to creating videos, one step/video at a time…!
That was an amazing effort. You did so well and overcame all your fears. I loved you life lessons which are so true and apply to everyday life. Really encouraging as life is hard and we do need to do one step at a time and just do it and keep on going even when we sometimes don’t feel like it. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure
Hopefully you get the bushcraft, outdoors bug.
awesome video LT, I needed these reminders <3 and the fire part was emosh ! what an incredible adventure x
What a fantastic video Laura, thoroughly enjoyed it and now looking forward to Sunday evening.
A few seconds in to the video I see a guy who needs a shave. I'm out
You need your own show
I'd be lying if I said my eyes didn't well up with tears when I saw those flames burst out of your hands! I love every one of your videos and this one is definitely my favorite! BRAVOOO!!!
So impressive and inspirational. Thanks for sharing. 😄
Brilliant video laura! You really came into your own when you ventured alone! And faced so many challenges! Really well put together video! I was fascinated from start to finish! ❤
Hi, I’m new here! I was cheering for you when you got fire – both the first time and the second time! What a fabulous video, thank you. New subscriber here 👍👍
I was away on holiday when you posted this vid. I wanted to keep it until I got home and it did not disappoint. It is very well shot and put together but your overall message and grit to keep going and stay positive was beautiful. Well done, Laura. This is amazing.
This looks challenging and interesting and makes me wanna go on an adventure ❤
Excellent content! We enjoyed it more than your short 8 minutes content. We wish more, more footage, comments, fAQ, part 2, the whole lot…. 😁
Wow Laura! Epic! Good on you for giving it a go and getting so much out of it, not just the hands on skills. Can't wait for the next installment of where this lead you. Well done!
You did great!
A wonderful experience. Congratulations on your accomplishments 🎊🎉‼️🙏🏻🌈🕊💯❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
This is fantastic. Such a huge achievement 👏 both the desert island and the editing 😂 looking forward to watching you on Alone!
We’ll done Laura amazing !!!
Haw old are you !?
I’m watching the programme now and I just recognised you! 🙂
Girl you rock you're as tough as an Afrikaans boere auntie of South Africa love your story
Amazing Laura you kept going and smashed it was it easier than the rowing of the Atlantic?
That was rough. Awesome video.
Got the fire kit already 😅😅
Next time don't forget your tent and lighter and maybe some tunes…. oh and a air bed mattress. 😊😊😊
hardwon, precious fire!!! you without a doubt learned more about fire through your mistakes and your struggles…than if you have had an easy go.
only fishing tip i got is : you gotta spit on the bait before you throw it in. Don´t ask me why tho 😅
Awesome adventure, i love your spirit. I hope to do something like this someday, i will remember your words of wisdom.
I've enjoyed the "survival show" genre for years: Survivorman, Dual Survivor, Man Woman Wild, etc. This was honestly one of the most enjoyable shows I've watched. I loved the realism. Other than Les Stroud, I don't believe for a minute that any of those other folks were going out unsupported with food or water. I think they had scripted skills to show. You just got rid of the script and showed up the real. Thank you.
Fluffy disappointment
