Pretty awesome. What's more amazing is this guy has been off the scene for about 9 years and coms back not aging a day
Too much music
You went too fast at the under over weave to where I got lost, Could you first slow it down so we could get the weave a little then spread up???😮
How do you fight the fatigue factor when you’re out in these environments? Very interesting content. Initially saw your desert survival videos.
Looks like white boy summer is back on the menu boys! One of the best survival channels out there 😍
I love the sombrero! Next time I’m standing under a coconut palm I’m going to make one. Also those grouper look like the same kind I caught in the Caribbean. Nice trick to get those stunned sardines from the pelicans. You have so much knowledge.
Welcome back!
Come to Burma. Take real life for sure. run away from bullets❤😂😂😂😂
Godzilla at 24:58 is awesome 😍
pro
ok siap
Man that was absolutely awesome!!!!! New subscriber here!!!!!
Great 🎉🎉🎉
Way to go Forrest Gump Oh that's Cast away..haha
Glad to see u mate.. 🎉 i'm from sumatra, Tom
Tommy Mac runs one of the best survival channels out there!
Love it keep it up
Yes !!!
Absolutely amazing. Very well done. Thanks a lot. 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ok ive seen people go up and down but I like this technique. Using more of his upper body weight
That will keep me toasty warm, Tom!
Interesting and commendable .. albeit under ideal conditions. I've seen the same done in under 10 seconds by a Selous Scout Survival Instructor. Once again, everything was 'set up' beforehand. Not saying that it cannot be done regularly .. providing ..
Commendable!
Here and subbed because of Xander!!
Here because of Xander!!
Hahaha... The 'join' button covered the ember the whole time! 😂 Bummer
You are crazy. It is all him. You do the work and it pays off. “Dirt time” ;)
@@junkeaable you're making no sense bot.
@@KenGray I'm calling BS on your comment.
@@junkeaable no really. On my Samsung s24 ultra, that darn 'join' button perfectly sits over the ember the whole time (till he picks up the camera). 😂
What is the best wood to use for the spindle and the base?
Lots of good options but yucca on yucca is good, horse weed, goldenrod, mullein, or sea hibiscus are a few great ones
EZ PZ
My records 55 seconds with a flame 🔥 Just an ember 35 seconds so it looks like you beat me. It’s nice to know that other people out there can do the floating hand technique though. There’s very few people that actually care. have you done it with a 6 inch spindle yet?
Wow that was fast!
I first found Tom watching Alone years ago. He's the reason I dove headfirst into Bushcraft and wilderness survival. Great guy.
Hey Tom, you liked my comment, so I'm hoping I can snare your attention for a moment... How did you get it in 20 seconds? What materials were you using, and were they prepped?
He was on "Naked and Afraid" season 3, but not on Alone.
@@donbambo Then I have him mixed up with someone else.
Nuce video I learned a lot👍🌹
So cool!
Steve and terri vibes from you two. Love it
For anyone wondering: Yes, Mr. Crabs restaurant from spongebob is a crab trap.
Wow
Should have found a small grove of trees to tie into the platform.
And that's how cavemen lost an eye!
highly skilled + great video. you guys did a nice job, i loved both parts.
Thank you very much!
I. Live. Your Guy’s. Video
nice to see you again

The Goat has finally returned!!!!
Good tips! Try smearing coconut residue from milk making on skin for sun protection and keep for burn ointment!
Tom, good to have you back. And so happy still no shoes. Respect.
Looking forward to meet you in 2 weeks and learn a lot from you!
👍🇲🇾
Tom, this is amazing! Your skills are next level.
Thanks Chad!! You as well. I’m stoked to see what you got up to in the PNW.
Loved every second. I would love it even more if they were longer and in way more detail!
