The captain going to tell us something. He's going to tell us something. We ran out of fuel. Oh,

one adventure just began. This is not clickbait. We really did just get accidentally stranded on an uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with barely any food, no shelter, and no idea how we were going to get rescued. Through all of our years of remote travel adventures, this had become the most life-threatening circumstance we'd ever found ourselves in. But to understand how we got here, we need to rewind a bit. In our last episode, we flew to the Mariana Islands, a collection of islands in the Pacific Ocean that strangely enough belonged to the United States.

After learning about these islands complicated history, our next episode was supposed to be about one of the furthest ones of this chain, Pagan. one of the most remote islands in the world where two people currently live completely isolated on an active volcano. It is so remote, in fact, that the only way to reach it was to charter a local fishing boat and sail 12 straight hours across the Pacific Ocean. However, we had no idea that what we thought would be a simple day trip on a boat was about to take a very unpredictable turn.

Good morning. Only slept about 3 hours. Yeah, which was probably not the best idea given the 12-hour boat journey we're about to get on. This is maybe going to be one of the more brutal things we're going to do. I don't know if you've been on a ship like this before. We're in the open ocean. And last time they went on this island, it turned into a full-on rescue mission. So, that will be fine.

All right. What's the worst thing that can happen? It's time to say hi to one of the very few men that actually have traveled to Pagan.

Morning. Good morning. How you doing? Morning, my man. Yeah. Ready for adventure?

I don't know you. Not sure. This man right here is straight out of a Hollywood action movie. Vlad, a Russian ex-military and survival expert. that we were connected to for this mission, who through a long story has found himself locked out of Russia and now stuck on these islands, living here full-time. Over his years here, he's found adventure by exploring every little corner of these remote islands. He has now become one of the more experienced survival experts here, joining us with the main mission of making sure we make it back alive.

This boat is going to be intense. Yeah, I hope we can make it. How many of us are going to fit on this boat?

Good questions. In my head, I thought maybe there will be somewhere we can lie down on the boat, but

not a chance. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not a chance. Yeah. An interesting turn of events, we have a Russian guide to this unknown American island, which is like you can't script this stuff. He's the only most experienced like adventurer on the northern Arianas. So, he's been assigned to us to make sure we don't we don't die. Very, very few people have been. Even the locals from here. 99% of the people that we meet tell us it's not possible to go. We've been able to charter a fishing ship, working with some of the local authorities, etc. to make it happen on such a short notice.

But uh yeah, this trip doesn't exist. It's something that we have just fabricated essentially. So, Yeah.

Well, this is the seat. 12 hours here. Hello, sir. Oh, this is the morning. Morning,

Mario. Nice to meet you, sir. Nice to meet you. Have fun. Bye. Bye. Bye. See you. I don't think Stefan really knows what a boat journey like this entails. So, right now, he's excited.

I think give us an hour and then we'll we'll check back in and see how we feel.

It's like an adventure. It is an adventure. It's an adventure of a lifetime. Everyone is feeling good about the trip. Nothing to worry about.

We're taking off. Oh my god. We're going to be on this for 12 hours. As we are setting sail and we fully in every sense of the term embody our message of seeking discomfort, we're also celebrating that today is the launch of our brand new holiday collection on seekdiscomfort.com. If you're a new viewer or a returning one and want to support our ability to continue chasing uncharted stories like this one, it would mean the world to us if you checked it out and got yourself or your loved ones some gifts for the holidays and rep the message.

Uh well, we just left, but we are having a bit of a technical difficulty. I think we have some water in the engine. starting to get a bit nervous now. So, it's very calm until now I think well up until like 10 minutes ago and it is starting to rock quite a bit on this boat was already the swell was already quite intense but now just standing still on a ship like this is quite rough for seasickness.

Oh wow, that's some waves. Yeah, can't look down really. You have to look at the horizon. Well, the sun is rising at least.

All good. All good. And then you realize like how vulnerable you are out in the ocean.

That's why I asked you like, have you ever done anything like this before? Because

we're going to be out in the middle of the Pacific. There's nothing like for miles and miles and miles. There's absolutely nothing. Like now we can still see land, but at one point there will be no land for hours in each direction. I I I I I imagined that it was going to be tough, but I didn't imagine it was going to be like a little bit afraid, but like it's all good. But definitely one of the more scary things I've done. I realiz now. I didn't expect that part. I'm scared.

We were now officially out in open waters. 10 men on a tiny fishing boat. It's difficult to convey through video how grueling the beginning of this 12-hour journey already was. The waves were much bigger than anticipated, which meant we were each locked in our chairs, unable to sleep, and trying to focus on not getting seasick. We made a short pit stop at the nearest island to refuel the boat with extra gas we had stored on board.

First time riding this. First time you're riding the boat. Before continuing our journey into the deeper waters, wary of the 36,000 ft drop to the ocean floor below us. Just got super rocky. We've been on ocean for 9 hours now and uh it just been like this hour in hour out. It's very hard to film because you need to like stay focused on the horizon. We've been like silent for hours here. We're not really talking with each other. We just like very locked in. Last 3 hours now was that was tough.

We're hauling too. We're going fast. Yeah. Anytime we get close to land, it's a little nicer. It's a little calmer for a short period, but the waves look big over where we're going. How many hours left in total?

3 hours. 3 hours. Yeah. It depends on I don't know what we're doing here right now.

Oh, blood. How we looking? Bloody man. The captain going to tell us something. We ran out of fuel. Oh,

yeah. We we cannot even make it to Alamagen. We just you want our adventure just began. For some reason, we burn just way more than expected. So, we have probably 70 gallons left. And we can maybe make it to Alamagan. But if we get there, then what do we do after that? I don't want to push to make it further away from civilization. We're trying to go back towards civilization and we don't make it even to the next island. I rather be here where we can anchor up. We have a little bit of protection from the weather um than to try to make it further either way and we don't reach the next island.

So hopefully he can find someone to load a few on the other boats and meet us out here and we can continue on.

Okay. You know, but that would be like tomorrow, right? If that was the case, it'll probably be like tomorrow evening.

Tomorrow evening. Yeah. It'll take uh 22 hours to Pan from Saipan. So to here is maybe 18. So that's that's where we're at right now.

Yeah, that we called for an adventure. Well, got it. We are stranded right now.

You got it. You be careful what you wish for. Like I was not expecting this at all. racing.

Neither were we. Neither were we. How are you feeling about it? Are you like uh trying to be calm,

doing the captain? You know, I'm not going to panic. There's Who doesn't? It's just going to take a while.

We're stuck here for at least at least 24 hours. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are currently stranded in the middle of actually in the middle of nowhere on an uninhabited island with no fuel and no one to come save us for the next 24 hours minimum. And it's raining. This island is a bird sanctuary. So, we're not allowed to stop here. But, in case of emergency

like what's happening right now, you're allowed I mean you're allowed to to freaking save your life. We just go out in the ocean now. try to make it to the other island. We might not make it, right? Then you can just drift away for days.

It's just insane. That's insane. Look at this is on stage in my practice. Like I maybe never like this. We'll stay together and uh

yeah, this is just take decisions wisely. There's no beach here, so it's just rock, right? We just said we're going to have to climb out.

Yeah. Yeah, you ran up here. Probably maybe the worst island to be stuck on. All the other islands Vlad knows fairly well, except for this one cuz you're not allowed to go on it.

Monsters, you know the coconut crabs. Monsters. Monster coconut crabs here. Like a huge monster

on this island here. Yes. Are there any sharks in here? Sharks everywhere. No panic. No panic.

No panic. lightly. They're having an intense conversation over there. It's pretty choppy. That's what I'm saying. This feel no reserve.

I wouldn't jeopardize, you know, I wouldn't risk, you know, might take days for them to come. But this is what happen in stressful situations, right? Either wait a couple of days or like send it.

I mean, if we send it, we just risk running out. Yeah. the middle of the ocean in which there's like nothing we can do, you know, except float.

The potential consequence is so high. Like the worst case scenario is really, really, really bad. I mean, it's like stranded at sea and the wild open Pacific Ocean. We might have to just stay here on this island and see if we can find somewhere to stay, set up camp. The island we are currently by is called Gugwan and the next island over is called Alamagan. But our final destination was meant to be Pagan. But as the sun is now setting, we've had too many engine issues already and the waves are too big out in the open ocean. We are forced to anchor up here, do an engine check, and see if a crossing could be possible tomorrow. What I'm thinking, we'll stay here tonight. As soon as it sun starts popping up, go straight to Alamagan. At least there you have the sand, you have the village area, stuff like that.

Once you guys are ready, we'll start moving in. Okay. Our humble about tonight. Line up. Line up. Spend more. Hold it right there. Hold. Good. Go. Careful. Good. Good. Focus. Focus. Focus. Just keep low still. Yeah.

Still rolling. Okay. You got it. Got it. Well, this is uh this is a little sketchy. Yeah, you have to sort of rock climb up here. Okay, we got it, Cory. There's basically no shelter. It's just rock here. There are these huge coconut crabs everywhere and their claws can just cut your fingers off.

Oh wow. Yeah. You don't want to have your finger there. Yeah. If it rains at night, which it has every night so far, we'll be soaked in the middle of the night if we don't have a cover over us. Problem is, we can't put up our tent. It's no flat area. There's also risky to sleep under some mountain there because it can fall down rocks. So, we have to find uh yeah, we have to find some spots outdoor just outside and then we don't have any sleeping bags. But that's that's a minor problem comparing to other problem.

Okay. Well, we are sleeping out on the rocks tonight. I guess there's a first for everything, huh? Even for Vlad, who's been on a thousand adventures. He's not gone stuck because l of lack of fuel before. It's going to be dark fast now. Yeah.

You know where your food bag went. Stefan. Wow. I have never slept outside on a rock like this before. I found my food.

Where was it? Bag. I've been looking for it for half an hour in an alertation. Most of you probably don't know this, but Stefan is a serial forgetter of things. Usually, every friend group has one person that keeps track of everything and one that loses everything. I'm the one that keeps track. And Stfan is the one that loses one of his most important items on a daily basis. his wallet, his phone, his laptop charger, and in this case, his food on a deserted island.

You know, when I did abandon in my cow, I lost my wallet that night, but I found it like 2 hours later. You

b excing so fast that I'm so sleepd deprived that I don't think reality has really sunk in. We There's a possibility that we get stranded here for a while. Someone said it was Sunday.

Yeah, there's a real real possibility. Sunday, but it's Tuesday. Stop guessing.

After searching for a while, we picked the flattest area of rocks we could find and settled for the night. We felt so lucky to have Vlad's expertise and equipment for this exact situation.

Oh, damn. You had that in your backpack? Yeah, in the box. Sounds nice. And you make this?

Yeah. Sounds amazing, man. Thanks for Thanks for offering these to us. Yeah, thank you.

Absolutely enough. Who is first crab still around? See that? You see that one? It's like a massive one.

He's going to come and try to taste your ear. Look here. This is my bed. Are you kidding me? That is massive. I don't know how I will be able to sleep.

Like this is how big it is. Oh, hey buddy. Were you Were you joking that they can like shop your shop your finger?

That big one? Absolutely not joking up. I'm so happy that I'm not where I was supposed to be and that I'm instead sleeping on a rock.

Showing so much gratitude, man. With gigantic crabs. They're going to like eat our eyes while we sleep. And we slept 3 hours last night and then we've been on a 12-hour rocky boat. Well,

yeah. Yeah. You want to say good night? Good night. Good night. Good night. And as you can probably guess, we were not in for the most restful sleep of our lives. I'm not going to let crabs be the be the reason I die. I have boots on. I have gloves on. I'm going to cover myself like this. Now I'm getting ready to sleep. Oh my god, there's one more. No, there's three more. Okay, there's one. There's two. There's three. There's Cory sleeping like with his feet out as well. I'll see you tomorrow. My mattress broke before I could even fall asleep. So, I've been sleeping on plain rock, which means I've not been sleeping at all. I'm a bit restless. I don't know how much longer we have until it's morning. We asked for a wild adventure.

This is a wild adventure. Hello kids. Welcome to Stubbing with the Stars. Here we have Rayon's belt. You see those street? 1 2 3. This is one of the good things being ended up stranded on island. Get to see the stars. There's nothing else to really do. Now it's 4:02. I think it's getting closer to getting onto the boat. Rise and shine. Welcome to a new day. 5:41. Um, they told Vlad on the radio that we are going to head to the boat now.

Morning, sir. Morning, sir. Well done. Made it through the night. Yeah, my mattress broke before the night even started. Huge hole. I tried to blow it back up and it just exploded. Good morning,

Thomas. Do you want to wave goodbye to our little rock we slept on? Thank you for a couple of hours of sleep. Well, it does feel quite fitting to be stranded on a pristine, beautiful, deserted island. as with seek discomfort this year, we decided not to participate in all of the craziness of Black Friday and instead start our own holiday called Green Friday where with every single item that anyone orders this year, we'll be planting one tree. If you wish, you can also plant a tree directly through our website. And for those of you who want to go even further, you can choose to make your entire order carbon neutral.

We've been trying to be as mindful of our impact as possible and we appreciate your support and you believing in us. If you've been watching Yes Theory or if you're one of the new Yes viewers, we've been receiving a lot of new subscribers recently, which we're super grateful for, then you can head to seek disdiscomfort.com and participate to our green Friday holiday. And hopefully we'll see many of you there to comp some of the new Seis Comfort designs and some of the bestelling old ones.

Ready to head on adventure? Yes, sir. We're going to where I grew up. Nice island. I'm taking you guys with me.

Oh, okay. It's very slippery. Thank you. Good morning, Captain. Good morning, guys. I was just checking. We going to try to go to the next

Yes. Next. We're going to make it to the next island. Mhm. And then from there, we'll anchor up. We'll assess everything. We'll make a couple calls. It's just going to take some time.

Okay, the crossing begins. The uncertain crossing. Sketchiest ride I ever done in my life. But all good. Anytime he slows down, I'm sketched out.

The reason we were so nervous in this very moment is because on a normal trip like this, there would be a safety reserve of extra fuel stored on the boat. But given our emergency situation, we were about to use that extra fuel to move to the nearest island over which has more infrastructure for us to survive from. With the risk being that if for some reason the reserve fuel isn't enough, we can end up stranded in open water. And there is no help available from the mainland in case that happens. We would need to call the US military for a full-on rescue mission coming all the way from an island hundreds of miles away called Guam, which would not only cost tens of thousands of dollars, but as you can also understand, is not something one calls upon lightly. Okay, let's to the next island begin.

Pretty amazing to be out in the Pacific Ocean, see a full rainbow. How were you feeling in the moment when it was most intense before? Like

we're 200 some miles away from the closest hospital. So you you know that's something to think about.

Okay, we made it to the next island at least. There's a shark right there. Yeah,

I was just about to go swim. Sharks in the water in the middle of the Pacific without fuel. This shark is swimming around the boat. He's like

curious what's going on. Ready for breakfast? Is it the kind of shark that would bite you?

Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Here. It happens. I'm That's what they say. So, on this island specifically, there there are sharks that attack. I thought at least we'll be able to like swim and like enjoy being in the tropics.

We're here tonight until the boat comes tomorrow. We can refuel and then take off.

Mhm. Mhm. Well, looks like we're stuck on another on a new island. Is this where you're born here? You grew up here?

Yeah, I grew up here. I was born in Saipan. You're born in Saipan and then you grew up here. So, we're back on your home.

I miss my home. If you missed our last story, we explained that the Traoros are the seafaring indigenous people of these islands who settled here over 4,000 years ago. Today, essentially, none of these islands up north are inhabited. And Mario, who is one of our crew members and his family, happened to be the last ones to have inhabited this island of Alamagan before moving away a few years ago.

See the house here? Yeah. Yeah. Wait, so you have a house up there? Yeah. Can we go and see your house?

Yeah. My man, you're hosting us tonight, Mario. Got you, guys. Thank you, man. I was worried about food. He was like, we're going to catch a wild pig.

Yeah, we can fish anything. I don't think there's any better team we could have been stranded on a on an island with than these boys. Yeah. A group of Chammoros and a Russian military survival expert. I think we're in good hands.

Oh jeez. Mario Looks like Mario is checking out this house in case there's any animals that does come here. Thanks for having us in your home, man.

We got Cuc water here. But this is from this is rain water. Yeah. Oh, it's empty. What the Oh no, no, no. Think about there's plenty of coconut if you guys want to pick some. All this tree here, I used to make a tuba. It's like a wine kind

made by coconut. Yeah, by coconut. Wow. Try dry. Anyone who knows me knows that I love coconut. This is an amazing coconut. Oh my god, it's so sweet.

Yeah. Are you a fisherman? Uh, I used to, but when that freaking shark almost got me, I quit fishing.

Wait, it was until now. I was in the water like swimming in the water. Try to catch I catch a fish right when I try to take the fish from the pier.

Man, if I can walk on the water, I'll walk. Mhm. The only thing that was there on the spear gun is the head. The head of the fish

because the shark came. Oh my god. Where's all my chicken? Oh my god. That is so good.

How does it feel to be home, man? Man, I'm so happy to see my place again. It's been a long time. It's been what? Almost 8 months since I left the island.

Only now I come back. Holy This is us right there. That little tiny thing. Cool.

It's like you're very in tune with nature man. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You you feel connected to nature. Oh, yes.

You don't want to move to Paris? Oh, no. I I tried moving to the States for 17 years.

Yeah. And I keep deciding I don't want to stay. Yeah. I want to move back. Yeah, man.

Yeah. My family wants to move like a good life, good job. But I grew up here. I cannot

Yeah. Like I cannot stop thinking of this island. You know, I can close my eyes and walk. I know where I'm going. I know what place I'm going.

Yeah. I'm happy. So I'm happy here. Yep. It was afternoon now and we hadn't eaten a proper meal since the night before and we're starting to get hungry. So far, fishing had been unsuccessful. But luckily, we didn't just have anyone with us. We had Mario, a man born and bred here, who was going to take us with him to set up a trap to catch a wild pig and scavenge for other seafood as we were having to hunt and fish to survive.

Not Oh. Um, thank you. Oh, the leg is still moving. Go for it. Another one of those.

Wait. What do you think the chances are that we'll catch one? 100%. 100%. When you're doing this kind of stuff, you have to be careful. This thing can poke can break your face.

Yeah. Oh, that's a thick boy. Someone is going to eat it. Why am I so freaked out? Sorry, man.

This is new for me. I'm not going to bite. Sure. Yeah. Okay. So, this one here?

Yeah. Eat the whole thing. Okay. Inshallah. That one you can swallow. Not bad, right?

Not too bad, actually. Yeah. Once you step on that thing, that wood's going to fall on and this thing will snap. See how fast you can break the skin. I mean the shelf. Yeah, just like that.

That one's good. For yesterday, we got a bit worried because for us, we are like stranded far away from home. Mhm.

But it's funny that it's it's your home. Yeah. How does it feel to be home for you? Oh man, it feels good. Feels great.

Yeah. I don't want to go back, right? You don't want to go back? Cuz we weren't supposed to stop here.

Yeah. Cuz she looked worried before. Oh yeah, of course. Even me. Yeah. How were you feeling when all of this was happening yesterday? And

you just pray, you know. Pray. Yeah. But we're good now. We're safe. Yeah. We were

on my nerve. So landed on your island. I will never stop coming. Are your brothers now in Thailand?

The oldest one is still alive right now, but he's old already. He cannot come here. All two of my youngest brother died already.

Oh, sorry. What What's the name of your brother? Paul and uh Patrick. Bless your brothers. Bless your brothers.

Thank you. They're not far. Yeah, man. I bet they are proud looking down and seeing you show the island to us and to

Yeah. Yeah, man. Thank you. How do you say thank you in chammoro? That's a difficult one.

Yeah, go ahead. Did we have any update regarding uh tomorrow if there is petrol coming?

Uh last communication with um the mayor. They departed Saipan at 4:00 p.m. So they should be here first thing in the morning.

Thank you so much. Yeah. Yeah. Great news. Thank you for that. That's a wild rescue mission. They're going to ride through the night then.

Yeah. We've been stranded now for more than 24 hours without fuel. We can you can see the pagan. You see that? Oh, that's Pagan.

Yeah. Oh, that's Pagan. Whoa. Damn, it's right there. Yeah, we're so close. One more night out here and let's hope that they're that they make it tomorrow morning.

Yeah. What was for us a rescue mission was for Mario a completely unexpected opportunity to go back to his roots. getting to show total strangers his home, which we quickly understood wasn't just his house, but the entire island.

Right now, we're stranded. Good. Stranded good. Movie star, huh? I'm a movie star.

Look at that, buddy. Yeah, this is a good team. This is the good team. That's dinner, bro. That's dinner. So, first I'm going to put my rice.

Oh, wow. And put on the side. Wow. He's decorating his plate. So much flavor. Yeah.

What the hell? Wow. This is so good. Yeah. Holy crap. Holy crap. And after dinner, Vlad pulled off probably the last thing we were expecting on a deserted island.

What the hell is happening, bro? He set up a cinema for us. Vlad, where did you get this? This is absolutely wild.

We're literally stranded on an island and he has the material needed to make a movie night.

Did he have it in his bag this whole time? We passed this island before, right?

Yeah, that's the ghost island. So, he found an old Japanese movie about one of the islands here that we're going to watch.

I keep forgetting we're actually deserted here. Wow. Sunrise in the middle of nowhere. Absolutely beautiful.

Tell me. The ball just spotted on the horizon. Wa! We've been waiting for this moment. We see a boat. Oh.

Oh my god. Woohoo. This boat has been riding all night to come bring us fuel. Welcome.

After 42 hours stranded with honestly very unclear guarantees that a ship with fuel was coming to save us, hope was restored. So much happened in such a short period of time. We slept alongside monsters, had to fish and hunt to feed ourselves and adapt quickly in an emergency situation, and I'm proud of our team who never panicked. Luckily, with our dream team of Latin Mario taking care of us, we couldn't have been in better hands. But what lay ahead of us now was something much more extreme. Pagan, one of the world's most unique islands, home to two active volcanoes and a mysterious man living there in complete isolation. We boarded our fishing boat again with big anticipation to see how things would go for our final crossing. If you watched this story and appreciated the lengths we have gone through on this adventure, it would mean the world to us if you participated in our brand new drop on cdisco.com. Wear
