00:00We are now stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean.
00:03And there goes our boat.
00:04We are now stranded for seven days.
00:06How much longer?
00:08Seven days.
00:09Frick.
00:10This raft is literally countless miles
00:12from the nearest civilization.
00:14And whether we like it or not, my four friends and I
00:16are stuck on this raft.
00:18And it's not going to be easy.
00:20This is brutal.
00:21Stop raining!
00:23We're all at rock bottom now.
00:24This challenge went from fun to a literal nightmare very fast.
00:29Bro, look how far away the boat is.
00:32I can't even see it anymore.
00:33So step one, we're going to get sunburned if we don't get shade.
00:36And I had survival specialists equip this raft
00:39with tons of wood, rope, and everything else we would need
00:41to build ourselves a shelter.
00:43Boys, we need to get started.
00:44We are running out of life.
00:45I got this side.
00:46Oh, my finger!
00:47Now we set these up like a teepee.
00:49We picked the worst day to start.
00:51As you can tell by the clouds, it's literally about the storm.
00:54Ah!
00:55So first thing we want to do is set up some structure
00:58to cover us.
01:00Also, since we're on this slab of wood for the next seven days,
01:02we need a place to hide from the sun
01:03so we don't get sunburned.
01:05So two birds, one stone.
01:06Speaking of birds, while we were building, this happened.
01:09Bro, the bird!
01:10It's coming right at us!
01:11Oh, my god.
01:11Yo!
01:11Oh, my god, it's a bird!
01:12Yo!
01:17This is crazy.
01:18We should name him.
01:18What's his name?
01:19Brian.
01:20Brian!
01:20Brian!
01:21Brian.
01:22What if you went and caught some fish?
01:24I don't know.
01:24He's looking at me.
01:25He understands.
01:25Jimmy, just say the word.
01:27Put the knife away.
01:28OK, I'll put the knife away.
01:30And the hatchet.
01:32Brian, that was a joke.
01:33Forget the bird!
01:34We've got to build a shelter!
01:35We're making friends!
01:36And while Brian watched, we worked on our first shelter
01:38for the rest of the day.
01:40Except for my friend, Tariq, who spent the entire day
01:42getting cool drone shots.
01:43And I'm not even mad about it.
01:47Inside this crate is the food for all five of us
01:49for the next seven days.
01:50Oh, my gosh.
01:53And in these two barrels is our entire water supply
01:56for all five of us.
01:57How does it taste?
02:00Very hot.
02:01Oh, no.
02:02There was dirt in my cup.
02:04It's getting dark, and that crate
02:05has the word sleep on it.
02:06Hopefully, the survival guides gave us something soft.
02:09Why are they wet?
02:10Things do get wet on a boat.
02:12I'm ready for bed.
02:13I want to go to sleep.
02:14This is night one, and Brian is just yawning.
02:19This is miserable.
02:21This is all the coverage we have.
02:23I didn't realize what I was signing up for.
02:25It's hot.
02:26This thing will not stop swaying,
02:27and I feel like I'm going to puke.
02:28And I'm surrounded by a bunch of sweaty people.
02:30Hey, sweaty man.
02:31If you guys smell this bad on day one,
02:33what are you going to smell like on day seven?
02:35Oh, gosh.
02:39Our first night of sleep was really rough.
02:42Sleeping is impossible.
02:44These waves are just making me miserable.
02:46And to make matters worse, our best friend Brian
02:48ended up leaving us that morning.
02:50Brian!
02:51Brian!
02:52Brian!
02:53Brian!
02:54But regardless, today's objective
02:56is to build ourselves a permanent, weatherproof shelter.
02:59How do we turn that into a livable structure?
03:02There's definitely something here.
03:04Luckily, I had them throw a bunch of wood on the raft
03:06so we could build a nice house.
03:09How we build the house, I'm not quite sure.
03:10But they said this is enough to build a house.
03:13But ironically, right as we got started.
03:15Oh, no.
03:15It's raining!
03:16Start throwing!
03:17Oh!
03:18Oh!
03:19Jimmy, get my shark pillow!
03:20Woo!
03:21Woo!
03:22Woo!
03:23This is miserable!
03:24This is bad.
03:25Oh, Jesus Christ!
03:26You're not doing the right thing, Nolan!
03:29Listen with your ears!
03:30Why do you yell so much?
03:31Because you don't let me!
03:32Oh, I'm going to hit Nolan!
03:33It's just raining!
03:34Shut up!
03:35At least we don't have to shower!
03:36Yeah!
03:37This is so bad!
03:38And we still have over six days left!
03:42Where do we go poop?
03:43Oh, we have to build the pooper.
03:44What?
03:45We have to build everything that's here.
03:47We have to build the toilet, build our shelter, the fire, everything.
03:50Thanks, man.
03:51The moment the rain finished, the boys and I needed to build
03:53all of our survival essentials, starting with the shelter.
03:56We're tearing this down to the name of something better.
03:59Five-minute break for Chris.
04:04I also need a break.
04:06I'm seasick.
04:07I'm out of it.
04:08You got to pick this up.
04:10I can't pick it up anymore.
04:11I feel like you're doing all the work, but we got two other goofs just laying down.
04:17I'm miserable.
04:18We built one wall!
04:19Yeah, we built one wall.
04:21All together.
04:22All of us.
04:23Regardless of being seasick, who's going to take all of us if you wanted to finish this?
04:27Now you guys bring it forward.
04:28There we go.
04:29Let's go!
04:30How many YouTubers does it take to build a little structure?
04:34What?
04:35Is that a whale?
04:36I think that's a whale.
04:37That's insane.
04:38Oh my gosh.
04:39That is unreal.
04:40They're actually whales.
04:41This experience just keeps getting better.
04:44Shelter, water, not being near Nolan.
04:47I'm never going to take that for granted again.
04:50Probably would have been really useful to build the ladder first.
04:53Got a ladder now.
04:55I literally just built this four minutes ago.
04:58After hours of building, we were finally getting somewhere.
05:02I severely regret making this a seven day challenge instead of a 50 hour challenge like all our other videos.
05:08We keep rocking back and forth.
05:09It's freaking miserable.
05:10I'm going to puke.
05:11And finally, just as the sun was going down...
05:14Camp is now organized.
05:15Yeah!
05:16Woo!
05:17Night two.
05:19My bed is still broken, but I'm going to get some sleep tonight because I'm that tired.
05:23I'm going to head to bed.
05:24How did I wake you up?
05:25I'm tired.
05:26Just go back to bed.
05:27I'm just walking.
05:28Accidental glazer up.
05:29I feel bad now.
05:30This might be the most tired I've ever been in my entire life.
05:38It's now day three and somehow our building didn't fall over.
05:41I'll take that as a dub.
05:43Noises that this structure made while I was sleeping last night filled me with nightmares.
05:48It's day three and we've really started to get into a rhythm.
05:51Our morning routine consisted of peeing in the corner.
05:53Bro, who vlogs in the pee corner?
05:55I'm not moving.
05:58Eating our breakfast.
05:59Surviving on festivals.
06:00That's all you need.
06:01And drinking hot barrel water.
06:03So dehydrated.
06:04I need this.
06:05We're about 36 hours in and we're almost halfway through a barrel of water.
06:09Is that slow or fast?
06:12We're going to run out on day six.
06:14Running low on water and food gave me an idea.
06:17I'm kind of curious to see what's under the boat.
06:19Dude, there's so many fish below us.
06:21So we decided to try to catch some dinner, but we weren't very good at it.
06:26Why does this take so long?
06:27I just want something to put in my stomach.
06:29Brian!
06:30Brian, help us catch fish.
06:32Brian!
06:33Brian!
06:34Turns out fishing is a lot harder than YouTube.
06:36After hours, we caught absolutely nothing.
06:39Why can't we catch anything?
06:41Oh, I give up.
06:42We were tired, dehydrated and hungry, which forced us to dig into our rations.
06:46Let's have ourselves a feast.
06:47Yeah!
06:48We call it a feast.
06:49A bowl.
06:50Yeah.
06:51In our supplies, we had wood to build a fire and pans to cook with.
06:56You take big stick and make really little sticks.
07:00And then make medium sticks.
07:02Then use the big sticks at the end.
07:05We're getting beans, baby.
07:10I'm so excited.
07:11This looks awesome.
07:12This is a really bad thing.
07:13Can you tell we've been at sea for three days?
07:15Literally.
07:16When have I ever been this excited over canned chili?
07:18Hey, I put some love into this one.
07:20It's not just canned chili anymore.
07:21It's got tomatoes, kidney beans.
07:23You don't have to keep talking.
07:24I'm already drooling.
07:25This was our first hot meal in days.
07:27But it was also a good chunk of our rations.
07:30So we made sure to enjoy it.
07:31I'm feeling a lot better.
07:32I think the first two days were definitely the most miserable.
07:35I think we're slowly losing our minds and it's actually becoming bearable.
07:38I still haven't gone to the bathroom.
07:40That's my biggest concern now.
07:41I'm struggling to sleep.
07:51This raft is just rocking like crazy.
07:56Not gonna lie, I'm kind of miserable.
07:58Hopefully tomorrow's better.
08:01None of us managed to get any sleep.
08:03We lost the back of our fort last night.
08:05The house needs some repairs.
08:07Tensions are pretty high on the raft this morning.
08:09Nolan's a little upset.
08:10He broke his bed.
08:11Oh my god!
08:12Nolan is struggling.
08:13He's just eating his feels right now.
08:15It'll be okay.
08:18You probably would have quit the channel if I did that.
08:20This is easily the worst.
08:23Oh, there's thunder.
08:24I swear if it starts raining again.
08:26Oh, I can't take that.
08:27And to make matters worse, we accidentally dropped our ladle in the drinking water.
08:31And since we haven't showered in four days, grabbing it technically contaminated the drinking water.
08:36I'm never drinking out of that again.
08:37I'm worried when we run out of water.
08:39Because of the contamination, a third of our water was no longer safe to drink.
08:42For whatever reason, the more I suffer, the more you guys watch.
08:45Some of our most popular videos are when I buried myself alive,
08:48spend time in solitary confinement.
08:49So I hope you're happy.
08:50I'm suffering again.
08:52It's not easy surviving on a raft.
08:54But after four long days...
08:55Lazer's finally pooping.
08:57Can you play a celebratory song?
08:59Lazer bean is pooping.
09:05It's pooping.
09:06It's pooping.
09:07Yeah!
09:08See how all those clouds over there are dark?
09:09Yeah.
09:10Yeah, they're gonna pour down on us tonight.
09:12Tonight's gonna suck.
09:13We didn't know it yet, but the biggest storm of the entire challenge was heading right towards us.
09:18And when we saw it approaching, we tried to prepare as much as possible.
09:21Can't wait for another storm just to destroy all this again.
09:24Tariq is fixing his side of the floor and Chris is fixing the roof.
09:27And I'm now the cameraman for some reason.
09:29There's a storm of ruin!
09:32And while they're preparing the shelter for the storm, I'm gonna tell you guys about Shopify.
09:36Because it might literally storm until the end of the challenge.
09:39This is gonna be a bit rocky.
09:41Shopify is a platform that makes it easy for anyone to start a business.
09:45They literally support millions of small businesses all around the world.
09:48From selling wood to nails to crates to crops, they support businesses that sell it on Shopify.
09:54I'm soon gonna have absolutely zero tops covering this structure.
09:58I am worried about it.
09:59100% of what I sell online, from merch to feastables, I do with Shopify.
10:04It's actually getting pretty rocky out here.
10:06Bro, the wind is getting crazy.
10:07We're out of nails!
10:08It's really hard to work around the wind, guys.
10:10Stop yelling and do things!
10:12Shopify even has a new AI tool called Sidekick, making running your entire business easier.
10:18Just like surviving on this raft can be hard, so can entrepreneurship.
10:21And that's why they do everything in their power to make it as easy as possible for you.
10:24This is my worst nightmare.
10:26So miserable.
10:27Go to shopify.com slash MrBeast to give it a try right now.
10:30Thank you, Shopify.
10:31Let's go prep for the storm.
10:33I'm soaking wet!
10:34Maybe you can stop helping us, Jimmy.
10:36I'm staying for the raft.
10:39This storm was really starting to pick up, but that night, it got so much worse.
10:44This really puts the helter in shelter, eh?
10:46Ah!
10:47Oh, no!
10:48Dude!
10:49Are you kidding me?
10:50It's leaking!
10:51Oh, no.
10:52This shelter is the opposite of waterproof.
10:54Ah!
10:55This is brutal.
10:56What do we do?
10:57We have...
10:58Ah!
10:59The next three days, by the way.
11:00Ah!
11:01Ah!
11:02There's water everywhere.
11:03It's useless!
11:04This does nothing!
11:05This is the most insane night yet.
11:07Oh, we're struggling right now.
11:09Is this safe anymore?
11:11We would've just filmed this in a studio.
11:13But no, we have to be the real channel that doesn't fake things.
11:16Oh, we're gonna die.
11:17We're getting just destroyed.
11:19Oh, I'm getting hit.
11:20There's a hole that is completely opened up over my bed.
11:23I can't do it.
11:24I can't do it.
11:25You can end this video, Jimmy.
11:26Jimmy, please.
11:27I tried to talk all you guys out of it.
11:29You all said yes!
11:31This is the worst experience I've ever had in my entire life.
11:35I hate every part of this.
11:37Bro.
11:38I'm just miserable right now.
11:39Ah!
11:42This storm was reaching a new peak with every passing hour.
11:46We were desperate, so we tried using our beds as literal walls to protect us from the rain.
11:52We're all at rock bottom now.
11:54Been raining for a few hours.
11:55Stuff's freezing cold.
11:57We don't have beds.
11:59I'm getting nauseous.
12:00I don't know if we're gonna make it this full seven days at this point.
12:04It rained non-stop for around 20 hours straight.
12:08And after standing the whole night completely soaked and exhausted,
12:13we had to push ourselves to dry off our supplies and rebuild camp.
12:16Our raft is just in shambles.
12:18Look at our beds.
12:19We're drying them off.
12:20This is harder than Antarctica.
12:21This is harder than a desert video.
12:23I'm just ready to be home.
12:24I hate this raft.
12:26I never want to see it again.
12:27Our entire fire pit is completely drenched.
12:29We couldn't start a fire if we wanted to tonight.
12:31No dinner.
12:32And to make matters worse, all of our food was completely soaked, meaning only a portion
12:36of it was still safe to eat.
12:38We had stability.
12:39We had food.
12:40We had dry beds.
12:42And we took it for granted.
12:43We cannot take another night like that.
12:46We need to waterproof the shelter.
12:48Just ripped that off.
12:49Tied it here.
12:50And then we'll leave the air close to the side.
12:52I mean, the last time we were shivering cold and went to die.
12:55So would you rather be warm and dry or cold and wet?
12:57Put a zip tie here, Nolan.
12:59Tie a rope to that.
13:00Zip tie there.
13:01We could use that to push this up so we get even more room.
13:05I'm thinking, why don't I make a really big clothesline and hang up all our wet stuff?
13:10Maybe we'll have dry towels by tomorrow.
13:12I want to die.
13:13I'm sunburned, tired, dehydrated, and I say tired.
13:16After fixing camp, we were so exhausted that we spent most of the day sleeping.
13:21But at least when we woke up, we were reunited with a familiar friend.
13:25Brian!
13:26Brian!
13:27Brian!
13:28Brian!
13:29Brian!
13:31After being stuck on a raft for five days with these guys.
13:35This really is a nightmare.
13:37I'll admit it.
13:38I miss Brian.
13:39Brian, moved on.
13:41You may not have given up on Brian, but Brian gave up on you.
13:44Brian's given up on us.
13:45We have two days left.
13:46We're running out of food, our water's contaminated, and we're all borderline dying.
13:51I'm going crazy.
13:52These last two days will be interesting.
13:54What could go wrong now?
13:56I can literally see 500 fish down there.
13:59That is crazy.
14:00Oh my gosh, this poop bucket stinks.
14:03I almost had a mental break last night.
14:05I was shivering, wet the entire time, could not sleep.
14:08It was one of the worst nights of my life.
14:10Last night, shivering in the torrential rain in the middle of the deep, dark ocean.
14:14You know, we got through it.
14:15Now the end of this challenge should not come soon enough.
14:18Making the challenge seven days was a horrible decision.
14:21This is so much harder.
14:23The new reinforced waterproof fortress actually worked.
14:27Lennon said it rained last night, did it?
14:29Yeah, at 4am sprinkled a little bit.
14:31Hey, here's the beauty.
14:32I didn't even know.
14:33That was the best sleep I've ever gotten.
14:35I actually got a full night's sleep last night.
14:38I can barely even open my eyeballs.
14:40I would say this is the hardest challenge we've ever done.
14:43Adding the extra five days on the end of a 50 hour challenge definitely makes it harder.
14:47The fact that we're just drifting at sea on this hunk of wood, that's pretty impressive.
14:51And while it seemed like the rain was over, we found ourselves encountering a new obstacle.
14:55We've gone from shivering cold like two nights ago to it being scorching hot.
15:00Unbelievably hot.
15:01I'm about to jump in the water because I'm getting too hot.
15:03We're going to go swimming.
15:04I hope no one can swim.
15:05And while they cooled off in their own way, we got creative with ours.
15:09Oh yeah, it's bad.
15:10Cold air.
15:11I feel amazing.
15:12Air.
15:13A jellyfish hit me.
15:14No, no, no.
15:15How high does the ocean hate us?
15:18I knew it was a great idea not to go swimming.
15:22Are you okay?
15:25I found the sweet spot.
15:27Oh yeah.
15:29Oh no.
15:30Yeah, I got a little welts and some red lines.
15:32For the majority of the day, it was so hot.
15:34We literally couldn't walk on the deck.
15:36Yeah, I'm hot.
15:37I don't want to be alive because I'm hot.
15:39It's very hot.
15:40But as the sun went down, we were optimistic about reaching the finish line.
15:43We have less than 24 hours left in the challenge.
15:46This has genuinely been the hardest challenge video I've ever been a part of.
15:49Honestly, this whole experience has made me appreciate all the things we take for granted in life.
15:53Like your shower, your food.
15:55I miss food.
15:57A working toilet.
15:58I never want to poo in a bucket again.
16:02I say we celebrate making it this far with the Feastable Bar.
16:05Yes.
16:06Available in every Walmart, Target, 7-Eleven, Albertsons, and America.
16:09For 2023, if you're still buying Hershey's, it's kind of lame.
16:12Hershey's for the boomers.
16:16Oh.
16:17Jimmy.
16:18Why is my chair just broke?
16:19What is happening?
16:20Jimmy, I'm starting to think you ate all the food.
16:22I guess I'll just continue the time lapse with the broken chair, I guess.
16:29This is our final night sleeping together, everybody.
16:31I'm so glad to sleep alone.
16:33I'm going to miss sleeping by your side.
16:35100%.
16:36I would not rather sleep next to any other man.
16:39And with that, I'm going to bed.
16:41After an amazing night's sleep, we were visited by a familiar face.
16:54Brian brought his family to say goodbye to us on the last day.
16:57Thank you, Brian, that meant a lot.
17:00It's almost like we were family to Brian.
17:02We were.
17:03He kept us safe during the night we had the least shelter.
17:06Maybe he's just a pea-brained bird.
17:09Shut up.
17:10Nolan, off the raft.
17:11I wish.
17:12That was emotional.
17:13Everything's gone full circle.
17:15We had so many crazy memories of this raft.
17:18Yep.
17:19And I think my best memory is going to be leaving.
17:21Same.
17:22We spent over 150 hours on this floating piece of wood.
17:25And even though it was easily the hardest thing I've ever done,
17:28the boys and I still had some good times.
17:30Where's this boat?
17:31Where is the boat?
17:32The boat!
17:33Then finally, the end was literally in sight.
17:36The boat is coming!
