Our favorite YouTuber, Bretman Rock, is back with a new show called 30 Days With: Bretman Rock! It's a four-part documentary series from YouTube Originals that follows the content creator into the jungle, where he will try to survive for a week. Before he dives in, Bretman has to do a 24-hour "bootcamp"—but instead of the "boy scout moment" he expected, he meets a "jungle king" named Cap who teaches him the basics of survival.
Cap tells Bretman that whatever he can fit in one backpack is all he's allowed to bring to training. And his reaction is everything:
Bret learns how to do everything, starting with how to properly hold a knife:
They work together to build shelter for the night:
Btw, guys, a basket? Apparently, very essential to survival 'cause that's what you'll need to carry your food.
Bretman also attempts to climb a tree to get a coconut!
But our proudest moment, though, is when he successfully makes fire!
"I'm trying to gather as much information as I can," Bret shares. The social media star opened up about why he decided to try this challenge. "I owe so much of who I am today 'cause of my dad. He accepted me for being gay. He encouraged me to be myself. He told me I could do anything. He made me feel like I could do anything."
He continued, "For a long time, I've been telling myself that that pain is gone and that I don't blame myself anymore, but I still do...This whole experience, I hope I find myself...to reconnect with Bret. I feel like I've been Bretman Rock for so long."
