Dinner is sliced bread, butter and canned corned beef. The evening entertainment is rather more elaborate: a hermit-crab Olympics, staged in a circle in the sand.
That island outing, "They Left Us Here for Three Days", remains JE Wilds - Fishing's busiest video right now, with no new uploads this week. Joe arrives with brothers John and Niko, co-founders of Malosi Lures, at an abandoned tropical resort. A raised, open-air fale becomes his campsite, with a netted tent providing some separation from the mosquitoes.
Getting to the fishing ledge means wading through deep water beneath coastal cliffs. The early casts produce a plastic rubbish bag rather than a fish, before John lands a bluefin trevally. By nightfall, the fishing has given way to camp food and the considerably smaller sporting ambitions of their chosen crabs.
The channel added roughly 47,000 views over the week while subscribers held steady at 177,000. Daily viewing is currently around half its usual level. Older outings are contributing too: "They Bet We Couldn't Do It" follows a resort-staff wager and a visit to the spot called the Ultimate Ledge, while "Biggest Fish Wins" keeps the Briggsy-and-Malosi fishing contest in circulation.
Among similarly sized outdoors channels, SilverFarms and Family Farm Life had much busier viewing weeks; Foxes Afloat was quieter. For Joe, the most active draw is that island camp, where a sudden overnight downpour is followed by a morning cast into the clear lagoon.
