Special Reports: Life 2 the Limit
10 people, 30 days, a deserted island, and nothing else. A small group of South Africans, Canadians and a Norwegian are seeing if they can survive a serious return to nature.
Meet the team of 10
Meet the team and find out what they’re hoping for, and what they’ve packed.
Day 1 of Life 2 the Limit
Carrying their Sea to Summit 5-litre dry bags over their heads, 10 people waded ashore to the remote and deserted island that is going to be their home for the next 30 days.
Day 3 of Life 2 the Limit
Some hard realisations and disappointments on Day 3, which, say the survival experts, is usually the bad one.
Day 6 of Life 2 the Limit
Twenty-five fish! Fourteen in the morning and another 11 in the evening, which is officially the most they’ve had in any one day – it could even be more than over all six days!
Day 8 of Life 2 the Limit
A mission through the jungle ends in disappointment – and the group is divided.
Day 10 of Life 2 the Limit
They’re excited by their new home and the fresh water, but is this enough to stop people from leaving? It doesn’t seem so.
Day 12 of Life 2 the Limit
Day 12 was a long one, with a thoroughly wet start. A light drizzle at four in the morning woke them all up, but turned into a full-blown downpour of monsoon proportions.
Day 14 of Life 2 the Limit
Sweating urine? At the two-week mark their bodies are undergoing drastic changes – and are a few of them getting ready to leave?
Day 16 & 17 of Life 2 the Limit
Two days’ news in one post today – why? The group’s dynamics are coming to a head and although it’s starting slowly, there are big changes coming…
Day 19 of Life 2 the Limit
A group that’s halved in size seems calmer – although they’re all euphoric from the sugar rush of Nick’s birthday feast.
Day 21 of Life 2 the Limit
Day 25 of Life 2 the Limit
A boat full of extremely happy people heads for food, family and more food, as Saul and Joe settle in for the last push: five more days, more alone than they’ve ever been.
Day 27 of Life 2 the Limit
After almost four weeks, life on the island has become comfortably routine for Joe and Saul – even if the weather is prompting occasional sense-of-humour failures.
Day 30 of Life 2 the Limit
Life 2 the Limit draws to a close as Saul and Joe leave the tropical island that’s been home for the last 30 days.
Day 4 of Life 2 the Limit
Day 4, and the 10 Life 2 the limit islanders have switched into automatic survival mode – with still no reasonable food in their growling bellies.
Day 7 of Life 2 the Limit
Still no good food news, but now there’s a new plan! They’re on the move.
Day 9 of Life 2 the Limit
The ‘do I stay or do I go’ debate continues, and now seems to have three sides. But moving to a new beach is providing fresh motivation. Lots of baring of souls in today’s video!
Day 11 of Life 2 the Limit
We now have two camps – the sitters and the explorers, and there’s a level of tension brewing. Could this turn into Survivor after all?
Day 13 of Life 2 the Limit
The group is split, physically and emotionally. Angi and Lisa – whose food is supporting four people – are set to run out in six days, and Nick has a night-time visitor …
Day 15 of Life 2 the Limit
The 10 islanders have all hit the halfway mark! But are they too short on energy and team spirit to celebrate?
Day 18 of Life 2 the Limit
And so it’s happened. Five people are leaving the island – and there’s a delivery of some serious food on its way.
Day 20 of Life 2 the Limit
Two-thirds of the way through, and apart from a sugar hangover from yesterday’s junk food binge, the five remaining islanders seem pretty chilled.
Day 22 of Life 2 the Limit
A fierce rainstorm, sugar demons and the killer beans - just another day on the island.
Day 26 of Life 2 the Limit
If Saul and Joe have been saving for that rainy day, now’s the time to break out the shelter – the monsoon is coming
Day 28 & 29 of Life 2 the Limit
Is it possible to overdose on bliss? Saul and Joe relish their last two full days on the island.
