Plastic Bottle Island

[skulkraper]

I remember watching him on Ripley's believe it or not back in the early 90s and the island wasn't as big. He should start building a volcano with waterfalls and a rainbow with carebears sliding down!

[vernairo]

he is good

[alienhddna]

i want my own island

[wickedorwhat]

wow fantastic !!!!!1

[GasMaskHeadhunter]

Well more poer to him. Theres nothing Id like more than to have my own desert island. Most years I goto India. I take tourists out on my little loat fishing and diving then take them to a stretch of beach thats not been stepped on as far as I can see as its not able to get to only from the sea. And they love it. They eat what we caught in the day, sleep under the stars in a hammock. Its my idea of heaven. Be great to be a hunter gatherer!

[alienhddna]

i want to make my ownisland to that all be cool thing to do

[alienhddna]

this guy all to go on coast tocoastam

[johngalt2600]

Good idea. To bad it's a retarded pot head that promotes it.

[ami7mina]

I WANT MY OWN ISLAND TOO!! woow!! i'll have my own rules lolz.

[AircooledJohn]

"It's not going to make me sick, is it?" LOLOLOLOL

[doNOTvoteCAMPAIGN]

You just have to put Gorillaz "Plastic beach" at the top of the vid!! You just have to!! LOL "oooo ooo plastic beach...... ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

[CheeseOmletKiller]

I myself have been a loyal litterer in my community for year's. I will try to do more in my part to dump my crap off into the ocean watter's and further pollute the environment this I promise....Feed the oceans barrel's of Oil and freely empty your trash.

[CanadianGanjaGuy420]

i am going to build my own next year sometime but i am gonna grow weed on it too lol

[brookviss]

Spiral handshake. I love this!

[icantgetnosleeep]

that guy is going to get so high.

then he's probably going to drown...

good luck to him!

[iggy764]

the man build him self the real plastic beach.

[timelineman37]

i want my own island

[brennuvargr]

Where the fuck is this matey from?

[99myway]

what a fucktard!!!

[2Bgrego32]

yo can also go in fo space and disappear...

[jaowseph]

He actually put his but on that dirty toilet? haha

[trickthemartyr]

we should get this dude to help out with the fucking oil spill.

[andermm73]

he poo on the island.......lol

[GabberNYC]

If he wasn't such a hippie he could very easily sustain a coop of chickens on the island that would provide fresh protein. And could probably grow yucca or other root vegetables for starch and carbohydrates. I like the guy, though, he has good ideas. I like when he sings and then dances with the kittie. That's adorable.

[laughingrrrl]

Fresh protein is all around him: fish.

[Grey80002]

This guy is seriously a fucking genius. This is the coolest shit I've ever seen on youtube.com. Who the hell is this guy and why has he been discarded by society instead of being recruited? Amazing, unbelievable... yea, he's off the coast of Cancun - but still, look what he built? Lemon trees, nuts, and eggs with a solar cooker.... OMG. Holy shit. I am seriously in shock right now. Genius.

[jasonbritt1]

did i hear something about PRE-DIGESTED FOOD  wow ewwwww

[FenderFan08]

still not as good as sandy balls resort

[rxvexe]

I think the only thing that keeps the island up is the air in the plastic bottles.

[CalvtheMovieguy]

So, id bet somewere. on that island. hes got some good weed growing.

[coachajs]

its a great idea but he should use HEMP PLASTIC not PETROLEUM PLASTIC, because the latter breaks down and does great harm to the oceans and those who live from the ocean (US!)

[markdangerman]

does anybody know if this guy richart sowa has writen a book about his time on the island?

[Tonelokedy]

Yea lets build a huge one with a city on it well all float around and let the world blow itself up.

[ramramram30]

i stayed here iwth this guy. he's really awesome.

[fusion01wp]

problem is all this plastic breaks down over time, when interacting with sunlight and is then heavily polluting to the environment. If he was building this out of completely natural materials, then a different story. Not plastic. Let's recycle this stuff and keep it useful.

[jemkox]

Wow this is what a lot of LSD does to the brain.... the islands cool but you gotta be frying to convince yourself that its gunna fly away

[nintendude1994]

@jemkox yeah he's done a bit to much acid

[maryyy1989]

its fuckin cool

[ViolentVendetta]

great idea

[Carlsarv]

I am going to walk in his footsteps :D

[seth7123]

@Carlsarv so are my friends and i.

[Carlsarv]

Sweet :)

[rob1upon1gsxr1000]

TRASH TALK.

[apr5il]

he is a mix of crazy and genius. i want to make my own island! think about it, no morgage, you're helping the planet, you can travle whenever you want.

[mwmmovies1]

so whos gonna pick all the bottles out of the ocean when this this is torn apart by a the waves??

[Carlsarv]

Othe island builders? :D

[sabflower]

That's not an "island".. It's a plastic raft

[carolshakebefore]

Finally someboby who understands that the "plastic problem" is not a problem when you get knowledge of how to use it well!!!This is art!!

[andy31793]

I love this guy. He's like Noah.

[doo0T]

Holy hell that guy smokes a lot of herb

[llamalady9494]

lol, some of my friends are trying to do this. they have like. 100 bottles. GO TLC.

[doNOTvoteCAMPAIGN]

@llamalady9494 ha ha! Good luck. You'vea way to go yet yeah?????

[carmatic]

how is it going to survive rough seas?

[KottonmouthSoldiers]

its survived two hurricanes... it was destroyed on the third... but still that is amazing that it survived the first two head on..

[Roarke6]

good point!

[Ghomtu]

Groovie! LoL!

[boxerk9]

bad idea! plactics in the ocean are not good thinking! look at the "pacific garbage patch"

[ryudragon7]

true that but hopefully he will have them contained to the best he can.

[an1tab0nghiT]

Plastic is photo degradable so it wont get brittle and break if the sun is not hitting it

[boyanito]

i'm gonna build one someday...

[princesofserendip]

at last a good use for plastics ... pity the plastics in the island are leaching poisons out into the ocean ...

[laser11111]

spiralislanders . com has all kinds of pics and stuff of this.

[driveby619]

that koo i wanna make a island now shot full of weed and fruits

[Ahksel63]

Good thing we've been pumping all that oil so that we could be making plastic bottles so that this man could build his Island and live without the modern world where evil people pump oil and pollute the envitoment making plastics.

[Imperar]

3 months just to cook an egg!?

[gumpdy]

not at all dumbass.

[SovereignCurtis]

ha ha ha, some people just dont get sarcasm.

[chralu]

omg, this video is epicness itself..

[03jhollier]

Fantastic idea, I would love to do it and even if it sounds stupid it isnt really as if you started collecting bottles from when you was young you would be able to achieve it, and it would not be so expensive. Also if he started expanding it and building more houses and selling them he could make a huge profit. I do plan on doing this and I will achieve it.

[KoroOutbreak]

03jhollier:

It's not such a fantasy anymore... Rich guys are currently chomping at the bit to get out on their own homemade islands:

Google "seasteading" to find out more.

[SyncroFei]

He's gonna get tsunami'd to death.

[lfonden]

dude, i saw this on ripleys' believe it or not!. it survived 2 stunamies and several hurricans!

[SovereignCurtis]

two hurricanes and several tropical storms, they dont mention tsunamis

If he is far enough out to sea he can probably survive a tsunami. Not an impact caused tsunami, but an earthquake caused tsunami.

[XxShebleepxX]

he could grow pot on it, lol i love it i wanna do the same thing. but it would be more up north and not so tropical.

[dnHooligan]

He'll be okay, as long as he stays near the equator.

[dcoolman13]

alsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dnHooligan]

What if he floats into the arctic?

[captainimij]

LOVE IT

[mediaskate648]

is there anyway i can contact this guy, or where can i find him?

[guaflar]

search spiralislanders

[zosta13]

my family and i got to go visit him and we helped him to build his new island (this one was hit by a hurricane). IT IS SOOOOOO COOL! Going to Mexico...building islands...the life! AMAZING. guys...this man needs more money to build his new island. if people think it is some mediocre project then they will not lend him the land to build it. LOOK INTO IT...DONATE

[nickcage63]

he needs a small boat for emergency in case it sinks

[dreamthinker79]

it won't sink

This isn't the titanic were talking about. Its a mass of sealed air bottles, I guess if you rigged them like black cats, and just pull out the fuse, you might want a boat.

anything harsh/bad enuff to sink this thing, would obliterate the boat anyways.

I am sure he has at least one boat though.

I bet a 10x10 raft and a teather line would be what you would need, Utilitarian of course

little off theme, but id love to drop some quality engines and a prop on that island =)

[dcoolman13]

yea good idea

[tombombadail]

i want a bottle island!!!

[baarberosssa]

This dudes got some shit figured out. Now if we could build one big enough for all the worlds war-hawks, and send it into the bermuda triangle...Let 'em eat cake...

[warden1103]

that is possibly the coolest thing ever... with the exception of the eternal cake... no way... just... no way.

[dreamthinker79]

it should be biologicaly, and chemicaly possible, to have a cake like that that won't kill you.

I think the secret is purity

[ebb5Ronaldinho]

Doing that is my dream.

[mystdragon333]

wow.....um......what?
