Skyrim, But I'm Stranded on a Desert Island

I used Skyrim mods to create a permadeath wilderness survival challenge where I'm stranded on a desert island. Now I face the challenges of basic survival, including gathering my own food and facing predators, and somehow finding a way off the island, back to Skyrim. If I die, I have to start over again from the shipwreck. Can I survive and complete this challenge run?
We're starting at level 1, developing both combat and survival skills, and exploring the wilderness of this desert island in search of a way to escape. With survival mode on, we need to eat, sleep, and stay warm similar to an indie survival game. We need to find food and shelter on this island, or our stats will suffer and we'll die way more easily to enemies.
The core mod used is The Island, which can be found on Nexus mods at the link below. I encountered some visual and AI bugs when playing this mod, but it was still a very cool survival experience overall and I'm glad I played it. Hope you enjoy!

This looks absolutely AWESOME. I couldn't watch super far because I don't want to spoil too much for myself. I have to give this modlist a try - By far my favorite channel rn
-
Depending on at which point in the Formerly Blue Cinematic Universe this takes place, Gjeoffriehy's reign of terror has probably spread to the other holds. Staying on the island was the right choice.
-
I love how your character takes the time to light a fire using tinder and striking sparks off of a rock when you have a spell that lets you shoot flames out of your hand
-
I love The Island. I've started some of my favorite play throughs here. Fun fact, both the cabin you stayed at and the cabin with the sawmill also has an entire farming plot that used shovels to activate so you can make your own farm than just using the planting plots. There is also a few hidden quests you can find here, not just finding the crew. I see you had the option to make Amakai's Amulet, so I imagine you found some of them.

As a veteran Skyrim player, your videos are the exact mods and challenges I'd play if I still could. Unfortunately, I had to make some changes and playing Skyrim no longer fits in my life. I miss it sometimes, but your videos are a healthy way for me to feel like I can still play. I appreciate it 💜
-
Can't wait to see what those two plots are about, and you dying to falmer again.
-
The quality of these videos are super top notch! Loving every single bit of them!
-
As someone currently stranded on an island, this was very helpful, thank you.
-
fighting the urge to play modded skyrim after so many years its getting harder and harder
-
Literally just finished your apocalyptic series and refreshed to find this, I can tell this will be a good watch, keep up the amazing content!!
-
I never knew there's mod like this, it's so amazingly immersive The way you can craft simple axe with branch? Man that looks so fun to play Also the video itself, the way you narrating really sound like you were actually there, experiencing all of it by yourself Really love this episode, please keep it up!
-
Go from The Island to Chanterelle to Shattered Skyrim for the ultimate long-term survival experience.
-
I would definitely play this on an Argonian character. - Not just for water breathing but also resistances that are useful in Survival with Realistic Needs. Also, having three planters there for 10 potatoes was nicely calculated. First you plant one, and harvest it. Then you plant that one, and harvest two Then you plant a third and keep one. Then you just harvest three potatoes three growth cycles and have exactly 10.
-
Amazing content man, keep it up! Excited to see more of this series and anything else you come up with as well!
-
These videos make me want to play Skyrim again. Good job with the great content mate.
-
I love the concept of this video, it was so well done too! Can't wait to try this mod out for myself and just live as a peaceful island mage.
-
Loved this video and the voice over was amazing you kept the interest up and made it exiting to watch keep up the good work
-
I absolutely love these videos, the narrating and editing are so much fun. Please continue! ❤🎉
-
Interesting mod combination you found! I'll have to try it out sometime.
-
This was such a great video! I love hard-core ironman style challenges, especially in Skyrim. 12/10.
