If you've spent even a minute on YouTube Odds are you've seen videos that look Something like this where these dudes go Out into the jungle and build the most Insane primitive survival shelters y'all Have ever seen I bet Mr Beast feels Pretty silly spending Millions on videos When this dude got the same number of Views with a rock and some sticks my Goodness I've been absolutely binge Watching these videos lately all the Meanwhile thinking dude piece of cake I Could totally do that so I packed my Bags and set off for the jungles of Costa Rica where I'd be surviving the Elements for 48 hours all the meanwhile Building my very own primitive survival Shelter that would put Bear Grylls Himself to and I started my trip by Meeting up with the landowner whose Property I'd be building on I'm so white This is Marshall and he lives in the Middle of absolute nowhere in southern Costa Rica in Florida in 1988 my state I Didn't go back I would have to say the Critters most have to watch out for in The jungle out of the snake plants Jumping pit viper we have Bobcats we Have all kinds of ground animals Kinko Jews that come out how's this dangerous Is it gonna lick me today [Music] Then it was just me and my five dollar Pair of Walmart shorts against the

Elements so after doing some thinking I Decided this is the perfect spot to Build our Fortress it's nice and flat There isn't any vegetation for creepy Crawlies to hide in we have these nice Two simple trees that'll be a great Foundation for everything else we build And look at this they're far enough Apart for a long boy to lay down that's Me I'm the long boy we're going Crisscross applesauce but let me tell You never trust a dude named Chris cause If crisscrossed applesauce what do you Think he's gonna do to you so earlier Today Marshall told me at night you have To watch out for the snakes I love to Hear it so the first plan of action is I'm gonna make a little bed structure Raised up off the ground so I don't get Eaten by an anaconda or a goose shoe I Don't know what they have here I'll have To find some materials to build with So I found some bamboo over here and This seems like a pretty solid primitive Building material so uh yeah let's cut Some of this down he said before cutting Some of that down I drugged the bamboo Back to the building site and chopped Off branches until I was out here Looking like a low budget version of The Karate Kid first I need to cut off four Little stakes from this thing that'll Make up the corners of my bed platform Yeah I can count to four then I whittled
Down all the sticks so they'd be nice And pointy so I could drive them into The ground I looked so much cooler with This machete you better watch out next I Want Fred Flintstone style and started Pounding all these steaks right into the Earth now it's time to put some more Bamboo around these four posts to frame The bed I made all the pieces I needed for the Bed frame and got to work on putting it All together we're still nowhere near Complete on this thing but day one is Off to a pretty good start So I'm tying the bamboo together with This twine I got at a nearby market and I know I should probably be using a Vine Or grass or something like that but I'm Not trying to be that primitive what do I look like the dang liver King I met That dude in a parking lot once it was Crazy and he even gave me some advice For surviving the jungle push yourself If a guy that has your capacity and Strength push yourself to that limit You'll know what's possible so I don't Know what that has to do with any of This but I'm sure there's a takeaway There somewhere oh yeah that thing can Hold my big old booty so here's the Problem now there's this big old hole in The middle here and I need to be able to Lie down on top of this so I think what I'm gonna do is try to find a Vine or
Something like that in the jungle and I'm gonna take said Vine and weave it Across these two to make kind of a Hammock it's gonna be so comfy I Actually can't wait this is gonna be Great oh here we go good news folks we Found ourselves a vine I really hope this isn't poisonous and You know what they say I hope for the Best wish for the worst that's not how It goes and so the hammock weave begins I knitted this thing together just like I was a grandma who drank an entire case Of Red Bull after a long day of work This would be a great place for me to Lay my caveman head yeah oh my gosh not Even joking that is really coming so I Don't know about you guys but I'm Getting pretty hungry and thirsty the Good news is here in Costa Rica I know Of something that'll fix both of those Problems it's a beach a shelter actually Isn't that far from the beach it's like A hundred yards or 100 meters if you're From a country with units that make Sense that right there is a coconut I'm Gonna climb this palm tree so all the Time while traveling I see people tie a Rope between their feet and kind of use That to brace their feet to climb a tree And I just found this red seaweed stuff Oh goodness gracious let's see if we can Use that to climb the palm tree and as It turned out this stuff turned me into
A coconut climbing machine [Music] Keep in mind you're not watching my First attempt this was a painful process [Music] We got coconuts baby That is perfect look at that we have This really nice coconut flesh that we Can eat now all right let's go get some More fruit oh there's some nanners we Have bananas Oh delicious it'll have to do the other Thing I have for dinner is star fruit Because that grows around here y'all Ain't gonna believe this but it's Actually Thanksgiving I'm not even Joking look at that Thursday November 24th that's right baby this is our Thanksgiving dinner this Thanksgiving You know what I'm thankful for I'm Thankful for you guys I know so cute so Cute so cheesy but for real I started This YouTube Journey as just kind of a Fun way to document my travels and now After this year is literally part of my Career that's so crazy to me so if You've been tagging along for a while Thank you so much who am I kidding You're here from the tiny home and if You're brand new here I'm David I make Bad videos you should hit the Subscribe Button anyway thank you all right let's Have a Thanksgiving feast Happy Thanksgiving from the jungle getting

There just waiting for me to die all Right so here's what I'm envisioning First I'm gonna get a big piece of Bamboo and put it right across here and Then from there I'm gonna create an A-frame with two sticks going down right Here and two sticks going down right Here [Music] One stick at a time I turn my very Unoriginal design into a reality all While soaking in the Tranquility of this Beautiful country so I think the next Step is I need to find some smaller Pieces of bamboo or something and put Them across here for some cross support And then I can put some leaves or Something over top of that Foreign School I read a book called Hatchet and Ever since it's been a low-key dream of Mine to get stranded in the wilderness So with every stick I tied together and With every demon-like spider I Encountered I knew my 12 year old self Would have been so proud to see me doing This So after doing some searching I found This leaf and I think this will do the Best job of covering up the shelter and It's getting pretty late in the day so It's time to go Goblin mode I tied these Leaves on one at a time by the stems Creating what I hoped would be a really
Good waterproof covering and a pretty Cool looking thumbnail and pretty soon It looked like this entire project was Sponsored by a salad company just look At all those leafy greens there you have It folks a wall covered in leaves Leaf It to me to come up with an idea like This Uh I really don't want to have to do That with the other side and luckily I Don't think I have I found these leaves That look like they came straight off The set of Jurassic Park and they Covered the wall just as well if not Better with only a fraction of the work Is it perfect no Is it pretty good No oh that's tight All right uh this is the room tour this Is actually pretty cozy I really like This you know what this might not be Perfect but I think this is gonna be a Pretty fun night that sounds dirty look You're right above me oh and now you're Over there oh you're right above me Again why do I say open I'm not even From the Midwest and with the shelter Complete and ready to sleep in it's time To head to the beach for our sunset There's hermit crabs all over the beach Here how cool is that Well I'm just here chilling on the beach Enjoying the sunset we have a black sand Beach all doors oh gosh oh we got a
Black sand beach all to ourselves the Last time I was in Costa Rica I was Exploring some more touristy places so It's been so nice to just get out in the Middle of nowhere and really just enjoy This country for what it is you know I Think it's really good for everyone to Just get out in nature by themselves Every once in a while and this has kind Of just taking that to the next level And you know what I could sit here and Talk your ear off but I think I'm just Gonna enjoy the sunset Foreign The last thing I need to do before going To bed is start a fire to keep away Predators like El Chupacabra I got some Pretty dry Driftwood at the beach and I Found a bunch of dead Palm leaves so Hopefully between the two of those this Will go Fuego It's going so good I need to turn the Exposure down And now that that's going I think it's Bedtime I still have both my legs that's A good sign well hello there how did That all work I thought for sure Something would go wrong in this video I Found food I built a shelter I made fire I had fun This is crazy all right sweet dreams There's some really weird noises [Music]
Noise I think it might be El Chupacabra Good morning you silly gooses we Survived another night as you can see my Uh primitive beard is growing in thick And strong actually I haven't shaved in Like a month the leaves just shriveled Up that wall is useless man we came we Survived we conquered and now all that's Left is to swim back to Wyoming later Foreign
