An inflatable island, and only what he catches, on High Adventure Videos
The 40-day-old survival challenge has passed 200,000 views while the South Carolina outdoors channel takes a week off.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
2 Days Surviving On An Inflatable Island! {Eating Only What I Catch}
Forty days ago, High Adventure Videos built a private island out of inflatables and promised to eat only what he could pull from the water around it. That video, "2 Days Surviving On An Inflatable Island! {Eating Only What I Catch}", is still the one doing the most work on the channel, now past 200,000 views.
Nothing new went up in these seven days, and the shelf carried on at almost exactly its usual pace, about 125,000 views across the week with the subscriber count holding at 367,000.
The rest of the momentum comes from two trips in opposite directions. One went up into the mountains, where he dropped live herring a hundred feet down with a "stinger" hook, his first time trying one, chasing brown trout. The other went to the coast for a sushi catch and cook built on Spanish mackerel and sheepshead, with the description promising the first time eating sheepshead raw. Sheepshead is better known for its human-looking teeth than for turning up as sashimi, which may be part of the appeal.
Among the outdoor channels nearest its size, Big Water Guy is having an enormous week and 402_Outdoors is running well above its usual, while Mullet Man and JE Wilds sit closer to calm. High Adventure Videos lands in the middle of that group, steady, with an island and a raw fish still keeping its viewers company.
