As a Brazilian I can confirm. In the Amazon there are places where it rains most of the year, it is weird when it doesn't rain, in the western Amazon forest precipitation can be between 2000mm to 5000 mm a year, which is absolutely insane
@@krispycool1 that's wild, the World is a fascinating place. Some places it rains basically every day, other places haven't seen rain in almost two centuries.
The thing they missed about that scene in "The Grey" is he accidentally stumbled upon the wolves den. That is why they were surrounding him and getting ready to attack. He came into their home by accident thinking he was traveling away from the den
I can well believe that! Apparently their saliva contains an anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting. In areas with a lot of leaches, it's not unusual for cattle to die from blood loss as a result of leach bites! I'm so glad that I've only ever seen one in the wild, and that was a tiny one!
The desert stuff is no joke. People don’t understand how fast heat stroke happens- the sun and heat sneakily suck all the hydration out of you. I live in Arizona and tourists go out to hike with a liter of water in the summer and have to be rescued regularly. Several die each year. If you’re going to be outside, you have to guzzle water for days ahead of time. One of my friends visited a few years ago and he totally disregarded the excessive heat warning and my own warnings. “I like heat, I’ll be fine” he said, going out DURING THE DAY to find rattlesnakes in July in jeans, a black long sleeve tee, boots, and cowboy hat. He had heatstroke within an hour and I had to go find him and bring him to the hospital. He was slurring his and hallucinating. I was irritated but glad I could help him.
Incredibly unrealistic unless someone had existing health problems or was already extremely dehydrated. I’ve spent years in deserts from Arizona to Afghanistan and I’ve heard of zero people who were healthy and succumbed to any heat related illness in an hour. The guy you’re referring to obviously had some type of health problems, was dehydrated due to possible alcohol consumption, or you made up the story to validate your point. I’ve hiked many times in Arizona in peak summer heat specifically because so few people do it. I’m also from Ohio, so in no way a desert climate. The people most threatened by Arizona sun and heat are elderly, children and those with health problems. The jeans, long sleeves and cowboy hat would actually help prevent heat injuries, not cause them.
@@joeelkins3618 I’m not making it up. I live here, dude, that’s what happened when my friend visited. They rescue people off Camelback mountain or McDowell at least once a week due to heatstroke and we have deaths every year. This summer has had plenty of deaths already. I’m puzzled how you think you’re going to tell a desert dweller how the desert works, and that what happens here doesn’t actually happen. We loathe summer tourist hikers and the rescue workers do even more. Heat stroke happens unbelievably fast when it’s 115 outside and you go hiking at 1pm in July.
@@MonsoonGeek “desert dwellers” is an unfit term for anyone who doesn’t actually go in the desert. Again, your own media warns the most effected are elderly, children and those with medical problems. Maybe your friend is one of those or was dehydrated from something like alcohol consumption, but I can tell you as someone who has worn 45+ pounds of body armor while carrying over 100 additional pounds in gear while patrolling in temps above 126 degrees that your average, healthy person is not getting near death in only one hour. I’ve had my kids out in 108 degrees for an entire day multiple times in Arizona with zero negative effects. I struggled far more with heat in the mid 90s in tropical environments in the Pacific than any desert. Maybe your friend had some problems you’re not disclosing. Either way, I’ve done far harder stuff in the desert than you so I’m not going to consider your input lol
@@MonsoonGeek I love when people who live exclusively in climate controlled homes, driving climate controlled vehicles criticize me. You may live there, but you’ve never spent 7 month stretches in temps over 110 degrees with zero a/c, drinking water that’s the same temp as the air. You’re no desert dweller. You live in a house. I guarantee you’ve never even spent a week straight in the desert without luxuries. Don’t lecture me lol stop spreading lies to act like you’re tougher than tourists. I’m a tourist and you’d die doing 90% of the stuff I’ve done in my life and you don’t hear me trying to belittle you. You sound like a bleeding blue liberal with all this nonsense.
@@MonsoonGeek 645 people died in 2023. Seems like a lot, except the permanent population of Phoenix is 1.644 million with a daily tourist population of another 1.6 million. 645 people out of 3.2 million ain’t cause for concern. No point in fear mongering.
I don’t know brother. The Internet is invariably more effective at educating than a regimented school system bound by budgets and quality of educators. Because we can access the content whenever, access ANY TYPE of content, and engage with any level of detail and knowledge for those topics. We can have the most experienced and most qualified experts alive at our fingertips! We aren’t tied to “grades” and levels. I love it. I agree though, survivalism should be emphasized more, not just pedagogically but culturally.
It would be amazing for a high schooler to take a quarter or semester of survival training in a health class if they even still ha e those. Or in gym, if thats still a thing.
@@lotusinn3 Its not going to kill a school systems budget or resources to teach a kid for 9 weeks how to survive in the wild 3 weeks in the cold, 3 weeks in the water 3 weeks in the heat and they should take it as a gym class.
@@Morgan-zf3yz Tell that to school systems, not me. Most teachers pay for classroom supplies out of their one personal income, so that’s not exactly a glowing representation of the financial priorities of district leaders. Survivalism being attached as a special limited-week addition for gym would be fantastic, it just wouldn’t be adopted by most schools for the above mentioned reasons. Bare minimum seems to be the unfortunate standard of public schools.
32 years in the USAF with 22 as an F-15E pilot. I've been through SERE in EVERY environment on numerous occasions. The rules: 1) BE CALM; 2) Have (or form) a plan; 3) Route plan for egress (if you're lost, STAY PUT and wait for rescue); 4) Focus on necessities (shelter, water, heat, food, (IN THAT ORDER) if the focus is survival); 5) BE CALM. Of course, we had a 12-24 hour head start (ha ha) before we were being actively hunted. That kind of changes the focus which, hopefully, you'll never experience! Equipment rarely plays a major part in survival but it IS nice to have a knife (even a simple pocket knife) and a fire starter (I keep a credit sized plastic magnifier in my wallet). Hope these simple tips help!
I grew up in the woods of North Idaho hunting, fishing, and backpacking. Staying put would not be in my vocabulary, but I agree with everything else. Then again I'm not military, with a very expensive search team looking for me. Thank you for your service 🍺
@@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj Staying put eliminates the high possibility of passing through a grid that has already been searched. On the survival side, staying put lowers the risk of injury while on the move, reduces the loss of calories and hydration through exertion as well as being able to focus more on signaling for rescue. You move (change location) no more than is necessary to replenish resources (moving closer to water, fuel, and potentially food) without sacrificing good shelter. Achieve higher elevation (if safe to do so) to make signaling easier, but never at risk of losing resources. Remember that you'll die of exposure before thirst, and thirst well before hunger. Of course, in SERE, you're being hunted, so you have to move (they are still gonna catch you, btw) but here we're talking about being lost through whatever means in a hostile environment. I've done this many times for pure survival training and it was a breeze using nothing more than my issue survival gear. I did this once again last October, and following my training, well, I just got bored after a couple of weeks, signaled for 'rescue' and my buddies just came and got me. I was 61 at the time.
@@itsjustme8947 first off, way to much writing there for me to bother reading. Second I don't expect anyone to be looking for me, if they are, I'm not sure I want them to find me. Last but not least, I was taught not to depend on anyone but myself, I see you were not. I would guess that's why you went Air Force, not the Marines.
@@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj First, in the military, you're part of a team...even if you're a Marine. Basic training is designed to eradicate individualism. Second, I expanded on what I thought was a legitimate question. Third, with your comment about 'depending on yourself', I'd venture to guess that you never served, so why bother disparaging ANYONE'S choice of service?? No ground-pounder who served during the war slams an Airman in such a manner. Why? Because CAS is a thing and Pararescue exists.
@@itsjustme8947ok I already stated that I wasn't military is why I wouldn't stay put. Why would you think a statement was a question? Especially when there wasn't a single question mark, anywhere in my statement? Next time someone says something to you, perhaps you could let go of that bloated sense of superiority, and take the time to contemplate what they are saying. So long maverick.
*I had the distinct pleasure of training with Hudson many years ago after being medically except flying F18 with the RCAF.

Yeah so watching the part about Titanic and the cold water survival expert's comments are right on the money. It actually triggered a bit of PTSD in me and I remember at the time that a crazy windstorm whipped up and our canoe fell into icy cold water on a cold spring trip and we all almost died. I barely managed to avoid a hypothermic coma due to my friend's help... A week later a father and his 2 kids fell in the water in the same lake and none of them made it... Be careful out there!
He's wrong about one major aspect though -- time. He mistakenly says the returning lifeboat is a rescue boat from the Carapathia -- which would have been hours later. It's not. The returning lifeboat is from the Titanic and the crew member moved a bunch of people out of it so that he could go back to do more rescues. So Rose wasn't waiting very long in the cold (even on top of the door) when he appeared. The rest of the commentary was great though.
Never been there myself, but I'd imagne that it's one of the more challenging environments to survive in! Plenty of water, but food is more of a problem, and no chance of getting a fire going for warmth either seeing as snow and ice don't burn....Only options for building materials....snow and ice! Arctic survival is basically working out 101 uses for snow and ice!
I think it is interesting that Laura has the Beast of Gevaudan tattooed on her arm, and is discussing wolf attacks on humans! Awesome tattoo by the way, would love to know the story behind it!
The artic explorer dude is wrong about frostbite and amputation you don't do it quickly these days they wait a few days to weeks becuse some of thee frostbiten finger can be saved it recovers some and sometimes all of it, i was taught that when i did my artic training as a conscript back in 2003 and they still practise it were i live atleast.
Bear scene, coals is where it's at. I had a buddy that whacked a dude w a flaming log once. He was just bruised and some singed hairs in aftermath, but coals will burn flesh on contact, and stick around more.
That pool surrounded by fire scene makes me think of chemical (mosquito fogger truck spray):burned lungs, I'd take the waterboarding feeling of a wet rag over any burn like that. With the Tomb Raider thorn impalement, best bet, break off the external & cover the entry untip you know whether or not it'll be a quick rescue or long walk out to decide upon removal using blood loss as a guide to whether or not it's a cork or problem.
My neighbour work in Nunavut for 30yrs just wore regular work boots great circulation. He was driving a D-8 CAT across the ice making a runway. The ice broke in a triangle. The only thing that stopped him from going in was the edge of the blade hung up on the other side. He's 84 now and full of stories. He even did a 3yr stretch in Saudi.
Apparently This girl hasn't heard of the north vietcongs infamous traps used against the Americans, Canadians and South Vietnamese military personnel. Regarding the scene of the Rambo clip. That trap Rambo used would have been one he learned while fighting in the Vietnam and Thai Laos conflicts.
Forging metal in the wild starts with making charcoal and a set of bellows- and would take a considerable amount of time. The charcoal is made the same way charcloth is made- you put the wood chunks into a metal container like a 50-gallon drum or a 5-gallon bucket- start a fire under it, and partially seal it off- you don't want much oxygen getting in- but you have to let gasses out. You will see tons of smoke come out of the bucket or drum- it's very flammable- be careful. Once it stops gassing off- leave it to cool- do not open that lid. Once cooled, now open it up- there's your charcoal. Now you need bellows, some means of moving air- lots of it. This can also be built but- it's not easy, you need several different raw materials- that aren't generally speaking in the wilderness. If you manage to build a set though- now you need a bank about 3-4 feet high and very steep- almost vertical. You're going to have to dig into this bank and create a forge- which is basically a small shallow basin with a hole in the center that goes all the way down and come out at the bottom of the bank. This is the hole you're going to force air through from the bottom- it will come out the top in the center of the shallow depression you dig- which now has the charcoal in it. As you can see this would take days to do, and you would need all kinds of raw materials you probably don't have and can't find. We haven't even gotten to what you're going to use for tongs or a hammer, or where you managed to find a piece of suitable carbon steel to make a knife with. And here's the real rub- if all you need to do is a kill a guy- then you wasted a ton of time and effort here- a sharpened piece of mild steel will work just fine. Which means you don't need to do anything to it but find it, sharpen it, and stick him with it. Shanks are very effective weapons- ask any prisoner. But let's say you need it for more than that- to do some actual work- which by the way are what knives are really for- use stone. Much more plentiful, just as effective, much easier to work in the wilderness, etc. If you're lucky enough to find obsidian- that stuff is like a razor blade- literally, that's not an exaggeration. And it lasts- I have a handmade obsidian knife I've had for over 10 years, and it's still razor sharp. I set it in a piece of deer antler and used a touch of two-part epoxy and some gut string to secure it- it's solid as a rock- no pun intended. 2 part epoxy is cheap, very light weight and easy to carry- I usually have a little in my pack. Get the 5 min. kind though- when you need it to work, you need it to work now.
The cold is no joke. I was glacier skiing in Austria a few years back at a much higher altitude than I’m used to. Was very poorly prepared, not very smart and had a storm roll in covering the glacier in a blanket of thick clouds. I lost my sense of direction. Fell a lot which soaked and shredded my clothes. Eventually I had gotten my skis parallel to each other and took off. Lost control, falling backwards and as hard as I hit my head I don’t remember any pain or whiplash, there were flashes of red, black and white light. I remember getting rescued, then getting flown out and not remembering anything past that for about 4 months after. Accidents happen because you put yourself in a dumb situation. I was in it for fun, and it was. Right before this happened. Everywhere I go. I prepared for everything
did the supposed snake expert say " if it was poisonous." immediate fail at beginner level snake knowledge. what a complete lack of training. and literally, even basic pet owners know which snakes are venomous, let alone hilariously not poisonous. extremely large tell for a fraud.
Was she watching a different clip than us at 33:25? She's acting like the person in the video was running on ice on purpose when really she accidentally put too much weight on the stick and tripped onto the ice
You can definitely forge over a campfire quite easily. You just need to light it long enough so that the wood turns into charcoal as it burns. I've done it.
I had nothing whatsoever to do with production, but I provided the stories for Cast Away, Titanic, The Revenant, Day After Tomorrow, and some parts of the Indiana Jones films.
At 40:41....'IF it was a poisonous snake....'. Generally in survival situations, poisonous snakes aren't really a big threat, you just have to avoid eating them! Venomous snakes however are a potential hazard! I live in the UK, and for the majority of the time, the climate is relatively kind, and survival is far easier than in many parts of the world, however the weather can and does change very rapidly especially in the mountains, and it can go from being comfortably warm in Winter, to being life threatening in a matter of minutes, with very little warning! Even though the mountains in the UK are small compared to mountains in other areas, they should never be underestimated, the can, and DO kill people every year. Getting lost to the point where you'll die is only really a risk if you navigate badly in the mountains in poor visibility, as there is a chance that you may accidentally walk off the top of a cliff, but there isn't anywhere where you'd get lost and couldn't escape from the situation just by walking in a straight line! At some point usually within a couple of hours at most you WILL encounter a road! There just simply aren't any areas that are unpopulated and without any sign of human habitation!
The fire advice is particularly bad in this video. Depending on the intensity you shouldnt run from a fire, often you can actually run through it in the opposite direction to survive.
It’s Hollywood! Your not answering nothing. In the Situations it’s all about the movie effect! Not real. Okay. When you are in a surviving situation…. You adapt and survive. Survival knowledge.
Will there EVER be ANY movie that appropriately shows someone recovering from hypothemia, particularly when it happens in water? Anybody know the exception to the rule here? I'll watch it immediately and eagerly, if you do. It's an enviornmental hazzard you have right arround the world, so, while I know it's not cinematic, I've been waiting all my life for some director of a film that makes it big to be like, "That's IT! We all know how this works and that it is NOT great for story building or cinematics. Just ONCE let's make things hard on ourselves and find a way to get it first-responder-approved correct. I don't think I've ever seen what I can believe as water hypothemia done right on film. Book depictions. But not film. And Titanic is by far the worst, mostly, I guess, because,as fluffy as it is it WAS trying for historical and physics accuracy in a lot of ways and the long LONG death scene just had my brain screaming on the first viewing, "You are both SO dead. SO many times over. I can't even count how many times you are unquestionably DEAD in the real, medically correct, universe!"

The artic explorer dude is wrong about frostbite and amputation you don't do it quickly these days they wait a few days to weeks becuse some of thee frostbiten finger can be saved it recovers some and sometimes all of it, i was taught that when i did my artic training as a conscript back in 2003 and they still practise it were i live atleast.
Bear scene, coals is where it's at. I had a buddy that whacked a dude w a flaming log once. He was just bruised and some singed hairs in aftermath, but coals will burn flesh on contact, and stick around more.
4:40 "poisonous"? Aren't snakes venomous?
Yes. Most people just don't know the difference.
That pool surrounded by fire scene makes me think of chemical (mosquito fogger truck spray):burned lungs, I'd take the waterboarding feeling of a wet rag over any burn like that. With the Tomb Raider thorn impalement, best bet, break off the external & cover the entry untip you know whether or not it'll be a quick rescue or long walk out to decide upon removal using blood loss as a guide to whether or not it's a cork or problem.
My neighbour work in Nunavut for 30yrs just wore regular work boots great circulation. He was driving a D-8 CAT across the ice making a runway. The ice broke in a triangle. The only thing that stopped him from going in was the edge of the blade hung up on the other side. He's 84 now and full of stories. He even did a 3yr stretch in Saudi.
Les is a legend!
Thank you, Jack and Rose ABSOLUTELY could have both fit on that door!😂
Apparently This girl hasn't heard of the north vietcongs infamous traps used against the Americans, Canadians and South Vietnamese military personnel. Regarding the scene of the Rambo clip.
That trap Rambo used would have been one he learned while fighting in the Vietnam and Thai Laos conflicts.

Forging metal in the wild starts with making charcoal and a set of bellows- and would take a considerable amount of time. The charcoal is made the same way charcloth is made- you put the wood chunks into a metal container like a 50-gallon drum or a 5-gallon bucket- start a fire under it, and partially seal it off- you don't want much oxygen getting in- but you have to let gasses out. You will see tons of smoke come out of the bucket or drum- it's very flammable- be careful. Once it stops gassing off- leave it to cool- do not open that lid. Once cooled, now open it up- there's your charcoal. Now you need bellows, some means of moving air- lots of it. This can also be built but- it's not easy, you need several different raw materials- that aren't generally speaking in the wilderness. If you manage to build a set though- now you need a bank about 3-4 feet high and very steep- almost vertical. You're going to have to dig into this bank and create a forge- which is basically a small shallow basin with a hole in the center that goes all the way down and come out at the bottom of the bank. This is the hole you're going to force air through from the bottom- it will come out the top in the center of the shallow depression you dig- which now has the charcoal in it. As you can see this would take days to do, and you would need all kinds of raw materials you probably don't have and can't find. We haven't even gotten to what you're going to use for tongs or a hammer, or where you managed to find a piece of suitable carbon steel to make a knife with.
And here's the real rub- if all you need to do is a kill a guy- then you wasted a ton of time and effort here- a sharpened piece of mild steel will work just fine. Which means you don't need to do anything to it but find it, sharpen it, and stick him with it. Shanks are very effective weapons- ask any prisoner. But let's say you need it for more than that- to do some actual work- which by the way are what knives are really for- use stone. Much more plentiful, just as effective, much easier to work in the wilderness, etc. If you're lucky enough to find obsidian- that stuff is like a razor blade- literally, that's not an exaggeration. And it lasts- I have a handmade obsidian knife I've had for over 10 years, and it's still razor sharp. I set it in a piece of deer antler and used a touch of two-part epoxy and some gut string to secure it- it's solid as a rock- no pun intended. 2 part epoxy is cheap, very light weight and easy to carry- I usually have a little in my pack. Get the 5 min. kind though- when you need it to work, you need it to work now.
The cold is no joke. I was glacier skiing in Austria a few years back at a much higher altitude than I’m used to. Was very poorly prepared, not very smart and had a storm roll in covering the glacier in a blanket of thick clouds. I lost my sense of direction. Fell a lot which soaked and shredded my clothes. Eventually I had gotten my skis parallel to each other and took off. Lost control, falling backwards and as hard as I hit my
head I don’t remember any pain or whiplash, there were flashes of red, black and white light. I remember getting rescued, then getting flown out and not remembering anything past that for about 4 months after. Accidents happen because you put yourself in a dumb situation. I was in it for fun, and it was. Right before this happened. Everywhere I go. I prepared for everything
so many good muvies - impressin folks all
It's Rambo! Why are you questioning his skills? He has a CMH. Obviously you don't know. Rookie statement.
I assume you're joking😂
Great stuff. Laura talking wolves with the beast of gevauden tattoo is so cryptic awesome
MORE Laura!!!!!! 👊🏻
did the supposed snake expert say " if it was poisonous." immediate fail at beginner level snake knowledge. what a complete lack of training. and literally, even basic pet owners know which snakes are venomous, let alone hilariously not poisonous. extremely large tell for a fraud.
"It's like picking anchovies out of my caesar salad" 😂😂😂
Man says “I’m a snake guy” then calls the fer-de-lance poisonous 🤦🏻♂️
Venomous whatever. Have you watched his show?
@@SMOOVKILL1extremely huge difference. Any expert worth his salt would know that
@@laurieb3703 Yeah venomous and poisonous are 2 different things I know that.
Was she watching a different clip than us at 33:25? She's acting like the person in the video was running on ice on purpose when really she accidentally put too much weight on the stick and tripped onto the ice
Maybe at first, but she is clearly running across after that
Yay I love these! I always learn something cool
I’m the first one to comment on this video in history😂
You can definitely forge over a campfire quite easily. You just need to light it long enough so that the wood turns into charcoal as it burns. I've done it.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
do they watch the whole movie or just a little clip?
the grey is about depression and a pack of insane mutant wolves.
Its good to see les stroud....
Who else noticed her tattoo while she was talking about wolf attacks? Oh my god, I'm dead.
Beast of gevauden. Great story behind the lore
The fox 40 is such a good whistle even the nfl and nba use it now
❤ Angelina Jolie. Wish she was in more movies nowadays, but her catalog, no matter the film, holds up. Jolie is one of the greats!
Laura Zerra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been the best one of these yet…. Brilliant!
Ah, the real survivorman, Les Strouds!
titanic scene wasn't people from the carpathia
I had nothing whatsoever to do with production, but I provided the stories for Cast Away, Titanic, The Revenant, Day After Tomorrow, and some parts of the Indiana Jones films.
40:40 I was first iffy about him over the whole piranha BS. But now he calls snakes poisonous? I don't know if I would listen to anything he said lol
"There's Something Out There Waiting For Us, And It Ain't No Man. We're All Gonna Die." ~BILLY
The Aussie bloke survival technique, rub some dirt in it and continue as if nothing happened lol.
Most of the clips was just the aussie way of walking to school
Love the guy who use kilos
What about wim hof and Cold water
Of coarse you TRY to outswim a shark lmao. What am I gonna do start clenching up my fists?!
Course*
Does the Arrow ever come back down Bow/Blow torch.if not blown hard enough😮
It's a tauntaun. (Pushes glasses up his nose.)
Dune is not really a survivalist movie....
teeth? damn
Arctic warfare scenes in movies and tv nxt pls 🙏 😊
22:00 my luck every bottle would break at the neck
that redford film is fantastic
Has last guy there talking heard of Lara Croft?
At 40:41....'IF it was a poisonous snake....'. Generally in survival situations, poisonous snakes aren't really a big threat, you just have to avoid eating them! Venomous snakes however are a potential hazard! I live in the UK, and for the majority of the time, the climate is relatively kind, and survival is far easier than in many parts of the world, however the weather can and does change very rapidly especially in the mountains, and it can go from being comfortably warm in Winter, to being life threatening in a matter of minutes, with very little warning! Even though the mountains in the UK are small compared to mountains in other areas, they should never be underestimated, the can, and DO kill people every year. Getting lost to the point where you'll die is only really a risk if you navigate badly in the mountains in poor visibility, as there is a chance that you may accidentally walk off the top of a cliff, but there isn't anywhere where you'd get lost and couldn't escape from the situation just by walking in a straight line! At some point usually within a couple of hours at most you WILL encounter a road! There just simply aren't any areas that are unpopulated and without any sign of human habitation!
TOM CRUISE = LEGEND 51:35
I know its about survival but every time i see here i have to say it...Laura is so 🔥 !
How could you do this without Dave and Cody???
Huge missed opportunity to not just have Laura on camera for this whole video. Every man and some woman are pissed right now.
She's definitely a rocket 🚀
the audacity to telling rambo how to do camouflage...😅
The fire advice is particularly bad in this video. Depending on the intensity you shouldnt run from a fire, often you can actually run through it in the opposite direction to survive.
the thing start were norsk and thay say its not the dog but ammercans didnt understand
The first guy is absolutely Tom Holland returning from the future
True but, funny.
The format is great, use a movie as a prompt for experts to share knowledge, but please drop the ratings which is useless filler.
It is not piran-ha, the nh is a diftong and sound like the spanish ñ , in fact , in Spanish it is a piraña.
It’s Hollywood! Your not answering nothing. In the Situations it’s all about the movie effect! Not real. Okay.
When you are in a surviving situation…. You adapt and survive. Survival knowledge.
This new or just reruns?
It's one of their compilations of older episodes, nothing new.
Remember when The Revenant was filmed in my country Argentina? 🇦🇷 and i'm still waiting to become a Famous Person
Will there EVER be ANY movie that appropriately shows someone recovering from hypothemia, particularly when it happens in water? Anybody know the exception to the rule here? I'll watch it immediately and eagerly, if you do. It's an enviornmental hazzard you have right arround the world, so, while I know it's not cinematic, I've been waiting all my life for some director of a film that makes it big to be like, "That's IT! We all know how this works and that it is NOT great for story building or cinematics. Just ONCE let's make things hard on ourselves and find a way to get it first-responder-approved correct. I don't think I've ever seen what I can believe as water hypothemia done right on film. Book depictions. But not film. And Titanic is by far the worst, mostly, I guess, because,as fluffy as it is it WAS trying for historical and physics accuracy in a lot of ways and the long LONG death scene just had my brain screaming on the first viewing, "You are both SO dead. SO many times over. I can't even count how many times you are unquestionably DEAD in the real, medically correct, universe!"
Didn’t shorty tapp out on naked n afraid lmfaoo why she on the show 😂
wolf attack comment, I lixe in a country that is too smaal for a wolf,,,,my country is about as big for one pride, we have several clans now, I ee this s a problem/ love dogs/wolves

The pee part. Les forgot that he was all about drinking urine on his show lol
you cant take a woman seriously who's been on a "tv" show claiming to be a Survivalists
22:45 marry me
these channels always use like the worst clips as examples
There's people that swim in water this cold for fun these people are just exaggerating
i am second 😂
Third
Is it just me or does Les Stroud come across as the least trustworthy person ever. And then forcing Joe Rogan and his audience to listen to his awful band play? He's just overflowing with cringe.
I will gatekeep Laura Zerra
Enough commercials for you?
Bye
she got the worst movies
