Jimmy and his crew spend 50 hours in Antarctica battling a blizzard, building an ice-block shelter, and climbing a mountain they name Shopify Mountain. Tents blow away, someone nearly slips off a cliff, and they barely catch their flight out.
Chapters
We just landed in Antarctica and we're going to survive the next 50 hours here. We're literally at the bottom of the globe at the coldest place on Earth. Can't wait to freeze to death. And there goes the plane. All right, see you later. And now that that plane has left, boys, there is no way out for the next 50 hours. We're stuck. First, we need to trek towards that mountain to get some protection from the wind. This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Shut up, Nolan. There's already a blizzard incoming. Just our luck. The weather is so bad already. This is so bad. Holy crap. What are the odds Is that a blizzard? What happened right when we came here? It's cold. Jimmy, bro, this is insane. Let's go. We'll set up shelter at the bottom of that mountain. Woo! I almost died. Antarctica! Antarctica! Antarctica! I declare this Camp Beast. It's -30 degrees. And if we're going to survive another 49 hours— Damn it, my tent! My tent about flew away. We need a shelter ASAP. The tutorial said to go at an angle. Oh, oh! Oh no, like we've got it all wrong. How is it so low to the ground? It's in my sleeve. They're like little children. We're screwed. Whoa, they're actually making progress. Look at us, we're the best. Beach Camp is thriving. A common problem in Antarctica is extreme weather blowing away your tent. We gotta cut snow blocks to secure the tents from wind. So we're gonna use these ice blocks to build a wall and keep our camp safe. It's literally dropped 20 degrees since we got here. We need to build the wall faster. Oh God. Holy cow. Dude, this is by far the hardest thing we've ever done. Base camp is now finished. Now that the ice wall is finished, hopefully the wind won't blow away our tents. The hard part about Antarctica is the sun never goes down, so you don't know when it's night or not. My tummy tells me. What time does your tummy say it is? Dinner time. Welcome home, honey. Oh, it's ready, dude. And for dinner, we have MREs. Jimmy, this is awful. Welcome to Antarctica. In case you're wondering how you eat food in the most remote place on the planet, first you boil water, then you pour the boiling hot water— I gotta be careful— in here, and then in 10 minutes you have food. And that's how you eat in Antarctica. You don't know how good that tastes. I'm so ready to sleep. In my tent is Nolan and Dream. And Karl, who's in yours? It's me, Chandler, Snap Lab, and George. You're going to bed, right? Yeah. I am so tired. I'm sick. Antarctica, not a good place to get sick in. Jimmy has no idea we're digging a tunnel. Oh my God. It's just so crazy how he's so far down. Jimmy, I don't think I'm gonna make it 50 hours. The wind is picking up, so we're gonna have a hard time sleeping. All right guys, well, brofist out. The sun literally never goes down in Antarctica, so night 1 was rough. It's the next morning and I don't know if I'm supposed to get out of bed or not because the sun's just always up. Morning 1, this is miserable, bro. Antarctica is not a fun place. I'm sick. Man, I woke up coughing up blood. Before you can leave your tent in Antarctica, you need long pants, a long sleeve shirt, a second pair of pants, a third pair of pants, a jacket, a jacket for your jacket, a ski mask, whatever this is, gloves, gloves for your gloves, gloves, and goggles so your eyeballs don't freeze. And despite having all this on, I can still get frostbite. Going into day 2, there were 2 very important things we needed to take care of. Number 1, in Antarctica, you would think you could just pee in the snow, but you can't. So we have to pee in these bottles and hold on to it until the end of the video. It's -22. - 30 degrees? Let's see if I can pee! Hey, I got it! He did it! I got it. Nice! That took like 5 minutes. And number two— A lot of the boys have to poop so we're going away from camp to set up a poop tent. The worst part about Antarctica is that giant blizzards would randomly sweep through and they would cause your skin to literally start freezing. Oh no! No! Hold it down! Stay down, Tim! All right, work! This bucket is my toilet, and that's the bathroom. I'm going to come out a better man. Nolan, how is it? That was the worst experience of my life. See that mountain right there? Yeah. It currently does not have a name. And everyone knows that if you climb a mountain, you get to name it. Who wants to join me? I'll just grab my stuff out of the tent really quick. OK. I left something in my tent. The weather's kind of bad. Come on. I might just have to— Hey, you're climbing the mountain with me. Just because I'm the last one here? I need someone to be hooked up to in case I fall. Well, I'm glad it's not windy. Seriously, since that mountain isn't named, if we climb it, we literally get to name it whatever we want. Bye guys! Bye! Bye! Now, Operation Hole. Come on. For the past 20-something hours, we've been digging this hole. By the time Jimmy's back, this is going to be massive, massive, massive, massive. We're not even at the mountain and we faced our first obstacle. It's a sea of ice. Look at this view. Antarctica is crazy. Beautiful. Just be very careful, Jimmy. Oh, this is very slippery. Very careful. Less than 10 people on Earth have ever stepped here. That's the mountain we're gonna be climbing. Anyways, let's climb before we die. Onward! Oh my gosh. Oh, oh, don't slip. Oh, this is wild. I'm so terrified. There's a drop to my right. If I fall backwards, I roll for 2,000 feet. Jimmy, what? We're 30 hours in. Oh yes, this is a— this is a huge cliff. No joke, no joking. If we fall down there, we die. Yes, 100%. Carl's still digging though. It's so deep, bro. I'm like gonna get out. Jimmy, I'm right here. Just keep stepping. Yes, I'm alive! I'm gonna take a pee break. Spell i-cup. I see you pee. I hate you. Hey, Jimmy. Hey, just don't mix up the water bottles. Oh yeah. See those tiny little specks over there? That's our base camp. I wonder what the boys are up to. Here comes the airplane. Mmm. Yummy. Yum. The hole provides and now we must provide for the hole. While Jimmy was climbing the mountain, we could have built up more walls to fortify our camp. We could have cleaned up their tents. We could have cooked them meals for them to get home to. But instead we dug this hole. This is the best use of our time possible. Stop filming me and film that view over there. It feels like we're on a different planet. You can't convince me this is Earth. And while we climb this mountain, I wanna tell you guys about Shopify, a platform that makes starting a business incredibly easy. Shopify helped me turn my YouTube channel into a business, and they can do it for whatever you're passionate about, like climbing mountains. Woo! If you've ever bought my merch or Feastables, you've used it. Let's see, how do I, how do I do this? And I'm forever grateful for them because I've been using them since we had 3 million subscribers. Shopify literally powers businesses. Oh God. Give me a second, Shopify. Woo! We're climbing. Shopify powers businesses in 175 countries. Starting a business can be scary, kind of like climbing this mountain. Yeah. But entrepreneurship allows you to wake up every single day and do what you love, so the risk is worth it. We're almost to the top. I can see it. This is the most terrifying experience of my life. This is actually terrifying. We're so high right now. Can you build an elevator next time, Jimmy? Right here. Ah! You got it? I made it! I made it! It only took 4 and a half hours. Hey, we did it! We did it! Nolan! Yeah! Woo! We made it and we didn't die! We climbed the mountain! Ah! Woo! We did it! And now that we climbed the mountain, we get to name it. I think we should name it Shopify because to be honest, I couldn't have done it without Shopify. We just conquered Shopify. Go to shopify.com/behindbeast to watch my exclusive interview with Shopify. This is now Shopify Mountain. Carl, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you. Over. We climbed the mountain. Congratulations, dude. Did you see us on top of the mountain? One second. We have to get outside of the hole. Wait, what hole? No, I said the whole tent. The entire tent. Uh, okay. They literally look like 3 little ants up there. Our base camp is over 10 miles away. If that lens could see us, it's crazy. You know the best part about climbing a mountain? What? You have to climb down. No, no. Also, you can't leave things behind, so I got to take this flag down. I carried it up all the way for that? What do you think they're doing at camp right now? Not something intelligent. Yeah! Best snow day ever! These sleeping bags are complicated. What is this? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Dude, I got to get a move. Okay, guys, it's 4 in the morning and Jimmy's finally arriving back after climbing the mountain. This might have been the hardest thing I've ever done. The hardest but most rewarding thing. He has no idea we dug this hole, so we're going to get in and surprise him. Home sweet home. I need a massage. Ow, Jimmy, I'm not a bed. Where is everybody? Oh my God. How long were you gone for? Something's not normal. I don't hear Karl going, "Bleh, bleh, bleh." Karl! They're probably asleep because it's 4 AM. Karl! Wait, where is everyone at? Jimmy's up there. He doesn't know. What is down here? Oh my gosh. Whoa. Wait, how deep is that hole? It's like 8 feet deep. I'm confused. What's so confusing? It's just a hole. Yeah, but why? You're just trying to, you know, make use of our time. I'm too tired to understand this. Get in the hole! Yeah! How? How did they do this? Hole, hole, hole, hole, hole, hole, hole, hole, hole! I want to get in the hole. This is actually a convenient hole. Can you grab my iPad? Yeah. Do you know what's on this iPad? Penguin videos. No, our next 2 MrBeast videos. Oh! I'll let you guys choose. Do you guys want to watch Blind Man Sees for the First Time or I Ate the World's largest burger. Blind man. I want to see the blind man. Okay, there you go. Tell me what you think. Is that crazy? Yeah. What? That was so cool. Oh my God, it is cold here. It's so cold that the screen on the camera just went black. This is actually freezing outside. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm gonna head to bed. This is the camera tent. We're saying good night. Good night, everybody. Climbing a mountain really took it out of me, and we got back at 4 in the morning. It was nearly impossible to get out of bed on day 3. You guys ready? We have to pack up before the plane leaves. Otherwise we're stuck here. Look, if we miss this flight, Jimmy, we're here for like another day. I'll put pants on in a minute. Jimmy, get up! Or is this your first survival video? Yes. They haven't got out of the tent, Tariq. We are going to miss the flight. Actually, let me rephrase that. They're gonna miss the flight. I'm still making it. We're making the flight. It is extremely important to preserve the untouched beauty of Antarctica. We can't leave a single trace of our camp behind. So I made sure the boys packed up everything and put it back to the way it was. Leave nothing behind on 3. 3, leave nothing behind! But they were as exhausted as I was.. So things didn't get done quickly. I've got absolutely zero energy left. All right, now put that in it. Put it on this side. Whoa, there she is out in the open. No, no, no, no, stop. No, stop. Salute. A sad day for all Antarcticaans. All right, get the fillin', boys. 3, 2, goodbye hole. Goodbye hole. There's a hole in my heart instead. And boom, we can now head home. Yeah. Home! Home! Home! Hey, if we maintain this pace, we'll get to the ice strip right before the plane lands. Plane! Plane! Plane! Plane! Plane! Hey, Antarctica trip! Antarctica! Antarctica! Right over here is the runway. Yes. All right, I see the plane. Yeah! There it is! That's great. I'm proud of all of you for surviving 50 hours in Antarctica. We're going home. Did we survive? We did it! Massive shout out Ali and Eos. They made this trip possible. I hope you guys enjoyed. We going home! Home! Home! Home! Home!
