I try to respond to as many comments as I can - but want you to know I read almost all of them and consider what you're saying!!
Here's what I read in the comments from my Island Survival Video and then implemented on my latest one!
From the comments of my Island Survival Video, you suggested:
1) I eat frog legs
2) I survive with just 1 Item
3) I forage more wild edibles
4) Longer Survival Videos
5) Actually catch fish and cook em to eat (haha)
I want to thank all my Friends and Subscribers for all the support and feedback! You are amazing!
