Theory: Where 'Daz & Dave Survival' might be located this year

"Daz & Dave Survival" is a series of videos chronicling Daz Black and BitMoreDave's attempts to survive while stranded on an island, which is something they chose to do because they've played a lot of survival games together and they wanted to see how they'd do in real life.

Right now, the series consists of two episodes, the first of which is shown in the video above, covering their trip to a deserted island in Malaysia last year. They were each allowed to bring three items for survival, and they had a camera man who was free to come and go after filming concluded each day.

They only spent a week at the location due to mounting hunger, sunburns, and fatigue, and they built a raft to get themselves back to inhabited territory, which was one of their goals. This was essentially an extreme camping trip, which was wild enough given their lack of experience.

But now, they've filmed a second season of sorts with even more extreme conditions.

According to Daz's most recent video, he and Dave traveled to the middle of the Indian Ocean, possibly without any of the equipment they had last time, to survive and move between 10 islands, nine of which are uninhabited and usually restricted.

Likewise, they needed to get to the single inhabited island within a certain timeframe in order to be flown home on schedule. After two weeks of filming, they managed to get home safely.

I did some searching with Wikipedia and Google Maps and I think I might know where they were. Based on Daz's description of 10 islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean that aren't usually open to the public aside from one inhabited island, I think they were in the British Indian Ocean Territory.

Most of the islands in the British Indian Ocean Territory are nature preserves that are usually closed to the public, they're right in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and Diego Garcia fits their description of being the only inhabited island with a single airstrip.

The location seems odd given how strict the status is for the islands' nature preserves, plus there are technically at least 11+ islands if you count more recent additions such as Resurgent Island and the tiny isles of the Egmont Islands, but it fits the bill in every other sense based on Daz's description.

Either way, this year sounds more risky and I'm just glad Daz and Dave got home safely.
