Erin had been wanting to cover a "real-life castaway" situation, so of course our dudes Googled "Real-Life Castaways" and found this guy: Philip Ashton. At 19 years old, he was captured and tortured by pirates, before he was marooned on a deserted island. And you guys? He survived for MONTHS. Of course, this was in the 1700s. Could you imagine a current day teen getting marooned on a deserted island?! Gah Bless.
