Dude went from dragging ass to chasing dragons. Can you imagine being those Soviet soldiers at that campsite though? They're just sitting there minding their own, thinking about how they're going to have to report that the enemy escaped, then this dude in Finnish gear bursts through the trees vibrating like he's trying to enter the Speedforce, he looks around and then he just books it into the woods and I can only imagine he's leaving a six-foot rooster-tail of snow behind him like something out of SledStorm while screaming the lyics to Dragula.
Ah yes, The Man, The Meth, The Legend. Between Lauri "I hate commies so much I'll fight for 3 different armies, in 3 different continents" Torni, and Simo "Iron sights, Dressed all in white" Hayha. The Finnish are apparently a nation of badass Snowdemons hell bent on eradicating every red in sight.
Now Finland is a member of NATO one of the best trained and equipped Armies in Europe. For almost 90 years of armed neutrality out the window, thank you Vlad "the corrupted" Putin! As for Major Larry Thorne, aka Lauri Torni, he rests in Arlington. No small thing!
No the best part is given his life span he was the guy that said "I don't need to use it" eventually needed to use it and never touched it again after responding "yes"
The 3rd Finnish soldier you should know by name. Lauri Torni. He fought for the Finns between 1938-44, was a Waffen-SS volunteer from 1944-45, and then was a US Special Forces soldier from 1954-65. He was KIA in Vietnam and is the only former Waffen-SS soldier buried in Arlington Cemetery.

Aimo should forever be known as Icenberg. He broke bad for two weeks; simultaneously ambushed and retreated from the enemy, killed a log with a compass, chased the North Star, then got mortally wounded twice and was like "S'all good man."
As a Finnish and being familiar with the story I have heard this story at least 4-6 times in different styles and forms from animation, dramatization and story formats *by yours is hands down the best I've yet to come across and your way of adding that comedic punch though seriousness of the subject matter was just the funniest!* With ❤ from 🇫🇮 _definitely subbed_
I absolutely love that picture of Aimo Koivunen. That is the face of a man who looked God in the eye and made him flinch. That is the face of a man who can hear the colors around him and see the sounds of the universe telling him things not meant to be known.
I'm 60. You have told the funniest story I've EVER herd. I'm actually crying with laughter. My old lady is thinking she going to have to have me committed. Thank you brother.
Same, and I had just watched a video of a snake getting yeeted onto a dude via ceiling fan. Was caught off guard, did laugh. I'm not sure which was funnier
I had to stop at 2:39 because the previous...that much...had me crying/laughing too. Then I had to get through the rest of it. I would say snorting because I was laugh/snorting...but it certainly wasn't meth!
I think you need to complete your trilogy of over the top Finnish soldiers from World War II. Lauri Tourni, aka Larry Thorne, aka the Soldier of Three Armies. Hated the commies so bad, he joined three different armies to do it. Including the U.S. Army Green Berets purely on the fact that he could fight better than some of the guys half his age. Among the commendations and awards he earned in his career were the Finnish Mannerheim Cross 2nd class, German Iron Cross 2nd class, 2 Purple Hearts, a Distinguished Flying Cross, and a Bronze Star with V device. He was killed in action in Vietnam in 1965 when his helicopter went down. His remains were recovered in 1999 with his South Vietnamese crew's, and are interned in Arlington National Cemetery.
I mean if ANYBODY was gonna be a reality warper, it's gonna be Aimo. Dude basically stopped following the rules of existence and said "fuck it, I'm high and Finnish", so I believe that plot twist.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out he never fully sobered up and his picture looks that way because he's legitimately seeing ghosts. Thirty times the dosage of high grade meth, and fucking Tylenol tells you your liver will fall apart if you eat 6 of them too close together. Man should've just exploded on the spot.
As a Finn this was unexpected, but great to see you learning about the absolute madlad called Aimo :D. I did my conscription service as a borderjäeger which is pretty much the closest thing to the ww2 era long distance recon units and i can say skiing long distances in full gear is shitty enough in exercises so can't even imagine what it was like during the war and high as shit.

There are 3 nevers in life: - Never ask your wife when dinner will be ready while she's working on your car, - never cross a high-fenced meadow unless you can do it faster than the bull, & - never challenge the Finns in winter.
I just love aimos picture. it’s like dude saw the future and was unimpressed. Aimo did slo-mo from judge dredd and was like so this is what mortals feel.
The Finns during WWII were crazy competent for their situation. They bled the Soviets like crazy for every inch. Every time you here the name of a finish soldier you know the story will be legendary.
It was too cold for the Russians, their tanks froze up and were ambushed by the Finnish soldiers but the Russians also froze to death in their foxholes. They never really had a chance against the men on skies 😂
Let's be real here. The only reason the Soviets won that war is the same exact reason why they won WW2 against the Germans. They threw bodies at the issue without a care in the world as to how many died. This is distinctly different from how the west approached WW2.
So many in the comments seems to want to know about the story that won the writing contest. It's way more tragic and somber than the account of Aimo as are most of these stories though. First place of that writing contest was a written account about the last days of the winter war in Petäjäsaari (pine island), lake Ladoga and almost total destruction of the 220 Finnish men defending it, less than 20 survived almost all of them wounded. Don't know if English translation of it exists but it's called: Viimeiseen mieheen (To the last man) by Tauno Seppä and was published in Kansa taisteli (Nation fought) magazine in 1978
I mean.. they both kind of attest to the sheer grit and determination the people of Finland are capable of. One story shows their solidarity and bravery despite impossible odds, and the other shows that Finns can tank a dose of meth that would kill a horse. Either way, it would seem Finns don't die unless they're ready to. One doesn't take a Finn's life, they ask politely for it.
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do my grandfather was a navy seal and he would not do anything on Sunday until he watched your videos and I loved hearing him tell me about his service and your videos so thank you for helping me keep great memories alive by watching your videos keep doing what you do
As a methhead, I abhor the stereotype that all we do is steal cat. converters. We also do cool things like blare Marilyn Manson in McDonald's drive-thrus, fight strangers on the town square, and collect exquisite stalactites.
Did electronic tweakineering come out of style? I have made and seen some ingenious (sometimes perfectly working) and batshit crazy DIY electric contraptions made basically using whatever relevant know-how/information quick googling provided, wire strippers and electricians tape though sometimes (but very rarely) even soldering iron was used. Remembering apartment full of speakers, bikes, computer parts, hi-fi stereos, more or less illegal chemicals..and all those definitely hazardous DIYT (do-it-yourself-tweaked) electrocuting traps, tasers, weaponry, 💣 💥 I'm not sure if I feel nostalgic yearning for speeding but I'm grateful and lucky that nobody got killed by those works.
I just sent this to my husband who is an actual electrician. Let me tell you I’m a 3 generation vet and a gen x. I have heard some stories and I’ve got a few. I laughed so hard I legit thought I was gonna pee myself. Props to mad story telling and I’m totally subscribing. Mad props hunny that was awesome!!! ❤
@@troybaxter I'm thinking, that's presumably 250 miles in a straight line. Given his condition, I think we can be pretty darn certain that he covered a lot more distance overall- zig-zags, circles, etc..
Aimo was the apex predator of the planet for 14 days. His picture, he has the look of a man that doesn't fear God. He looked God in the eye and God blinked.
He became a humanoid honey badger. He took Odin's good eye for a compass. He played Duck Duck Goose with God, Jehovah, and Allah. He told Buddha pervitin was the way to enlightenment. He stole Azathoth's flute and played Hot Cross Buns on it.
I messed with meth for a couple of years. My first binge on my first time smoking meth, I stayed up 21 days. Within a week or so, my vision looked like it was raining in front of my face or like the static from an old CRT TV. There was also shadow people everywhere - behind trees, in the limbs of trees, peeking around buildings, etc. The last night I was awake, I saw this demon dragon thing in the clouds a little after dusk and I said, "Nope. It's time for bed"... Which, going to sleep is freaking scary after about a week - it feels like you won't ever wake up or something. I would sleep for 24 hours easy back then and sometimes even more without ever waking up. I remember picking at a splinter for 19 hours straight without ever standing up once. You could really go to sleep anytime if you quit refueling for several hours but that was my first experience and I just kept going - it all feels like one long day - so I didn't even think to go to sleep. I always managed to keep my senses and I knew all the hallucinations were just bullshit - but people around me were totally spazzed out and crying and rambling and stuff over the things they were seeing. Meth gave me energy but I supposedly have ADHD so it also made me really calm - like I could either tweak on electronics, dumpster dive, get into random mischief or sit down by the fire and read a book. Weird - all types of speed have always affected me like that. Glad to be away from it though - it devours your soul among everything else. Don't do drugs kids - it may look cool while your friends are doing it but the other part that you haven't seen yet is the withdrawal when you run out of money or can't find your drug - cold sweats and shivering in a pool of your sweat not feeling like sleeping or being awake or existing or doing anything while feeling like you have the worst flu you've ever had with a simultaneous massive panic attack and depending on the drug, your bones hurt and it feels like your limbs are being pulled off - and in the worst of cases, you might lose control of your bowels or bladder and so on. So, not just some old person saying, "Drugs aren't cool - just say no" - you eventually get to a pathetic and objectively uncool state - opioid withdrawal was probably the worst thing I've ever been through that just affected my own mind and body - like the death of loved ones rivals it but in a different way. But as far as anything only affecting my own person/body, opioid withdrawal still gives me chills to think about. But the meth, I think, gave me sleep apnea and extending from that, my life has been fucked ever since quitting everything. So really, it's your life and your business or whatever but, if you've never done drugs, you are a lucky MFer - and I highly advise you to keep it that way... I'm a walking anti-drug campaign ever since quitting everything lol...
This is hands down the absolute best content on the internet. I’ve recommended this channel to absolutely everyone I know and I’ve watched every video. It’s absurd how much I look forward to these
Not sure if you’ll see this, but I’m a retired AF 2T1 (88M) and spent 10 deployments with my TACON under the Army. You are the epitome of what I miss about the military. Every video I feel like I’m transported back to the downtime and hanging out with the absolute best people in the world. You fill a void I didn’t know I had and actually make me miss military deployments. THANK YOU! I’ve purchased some of your merch and will get more when I can. Please keep this content coming, it’s more than just a history lesson. It’s a reminder of the best times of my life.
Aimo: (does a massive dose of meth and goes on a two week bender through an active warzone.) Floridaman: "Finally! A worthy opponent. Our battle shall be legendary!"
I got another Finn for ya, Lauri Allan Torni, aka Larry Alan Thorne. The man hated Communists so much that he fought in the Finnish army against the USSR in the Winter War and Continuation War, earning the Cross of Mannerheim (the Finnish equivalent of the Medal of Honor) in the process, then fought against the Soviets with the Waffen SS in WWII, earning an Iron Cross in the process, then fought in Vietnam as a Green Beret in the US Army, ultimately going down when his helicopter stuck around too long and got hit by bad weather. In total the man earned the Cross of Mannerheim, an Iron Cross, the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, and the Distinguished Flying Cross (though that would be awarded posthumously), and became known as the Soldier of 3 Armies, which is also the name of a pretty sick Sabaton Song about the guy
The vikings didn't even go into Finland. They have stories about vikings and Scandinavian settlers going in but nobody ever coming back out. There's also viking writings talking about the native inhabitants 'Finns' as being part man and part elf who don't need to eat or sleep and don't feel pain lol. Makes me proud to be finnish. SISU!
Next you should do a video on MAD JACK CHURCHILL. The only man who got a confirmed kill with a Longbow in WW2. Oh and carried a Long sword with him into battle while playing bagpipes.
"Congratulations, your story won 2nd place." WTF?!?! Okay, now we have to hear what freakin' story took 1st place! That was amazing and hilarious, especially since I have no doubt that it really happened.
@@Ichigoekidon't get me wrong, that's a great story, but you can't beat a story of a man that tweaked out on meth for 2 weeks and somehow managed to wander his ass 250 miles off course.
Dude i don't know where you've been all my life but I'm so glad I found your channel. Best story teller ever. Literally spit out my drink at "well good the door knob is real, the land mine sure as f*ck was"
meth is a wonderful drug...that's how Hitler won and ended up NOT commiting suicide in a bunker somewhere while germany was split in half for decades. Drugs are great... all armies who used them, since freaking Roman times, have gone on to be victorious and did not immediately collapse into rubble. (
So funny! My good friend, an former Marine, Johnny used to steal cadalitic comverters for meth. He would love this channel. He's the only person to ever stand up to my abusive husband & give me a ride to my mommas house - where ive stayed for 2years while i divorce. I hope & pray that he is in paradise today, I'll never forget what he did for me. R.I.P Johnny, idc that u were addicted to meth or that you stole for ur habit, I saw your sweet heart, & see youll always be a hero to me 🤍 Anyways, had to sub, this guy is hilarious
I haven’t genuinely, laughed out loud, at a joke, in a while. When you first showed Aimo’s picture, I immediately thought, “This is most definitely a true story.” Then you made that joke at the end and I lost it. Love your videos. Please keep doing these history videos. This is historical gold, you are digging up. Thank you!
That last sentence probably works, in paper only 😂 Only to realize that they're greeted by bunch of ATGM to the face, oh I think it's a great idea for him to make a videos about ATGM, as "the most Americans un-healthcare of the world"
I would like to point out, as a former Pharmacy school student, that methamphetamine has an initial duration/half-life of only about 12-13 hours. He didn't take the entire bottle in a single dose. He DID take way too many pills, but only about 1/4 the total contents. The reason his story lasts so long is that he kept redosing at somewhat regular intervals to stave off exhaustion and sleep. That's also probably why he began experiencing wild hallucinations and delusions. Meth by itself shouldn't do that in most otherwise sane people. However, severe sleep deprivation absolutely CAN do that. Meth can easily keep you awake for over 72 hours, which is about the point that most people start to report intense delusions, visual phenomenon, etc...
You take enough at once and it's not ending in 12-13 hours. You're going to be up for a few days. Then when you do finally get some sleep, it'll be a short nap.
@@samxfour Aimo himself has stated this specific correction on multiple occasions. He continued to take the pills over the course of events. He didn't down the entire bottle on his first dose.
I thought this might have been the answer to baddies challenge at a fake story. This was gold, I love how you present your videos and the outtakes where much appreciated
"How are we gunna get away!" *"Ayo!, Aimo gunna just take this METH NUGGET and TURBO US OUT!"* Also, at first I was kinda like "Huh!, his mates are overreating, taking all his ammo etc away"... a few minutes later after he has attacked EVERYTHING around him "Jaysus!, take his skis too!"
Where is this mans grave? Dude, we gotta get that 1st place trophy to him. Seriously, as a comedian and a veteran, this would mean a lot to me. AIMO for BEST WAR STORY OF ALL TIME.
This reminded me of a vietnam story where a medic had a man he was working on shot in the face while the VC was trying to take him captive, so he grabbed all the adrenaline he could reach and injected himself. They found him on the enemy side of the tree line filled with bullets and still breathing. I think 5 deaths were attributed to his March across the creek towards the enemy, and he didn't use a gun.
@@michaelthemadsoldiertisthey man. I feel you. Former meth and heroin addict here, just keep building yourself up and working on yourself. We’ll never be problem free but if you’re heading in the right direction that’s all that matters. Overcoming meth addiction, isn’t easy. If you’re dealing with any psychological issues post meth addiction, just want you to know if you don’t already, as the years go on, those problems will subside. Meth just does a lot of long term damage to your brain. Didn’t mean to write a fucking novel for you, but just rooting for ya.
This is, hands down, the absolute best telling of this story I have ever heard. I've heard it a million times, and never better than this. Fantoostich!
12:03 My mans is LOCKED IN in that picture. He is seeing smell, tasting sound and feeling smells. He is one with the speed force. His hair is slicked back, not with pomade, oh no my fellow mellow brothers in Christ. His hair is slicked back permanently from the sheer speed he can move while staying still. And most of all….He is feeling it Mr. Krabs.
It's somewhere in the triangle of "how much shit do they do to get the drug tolerance to not die immediately," "they must be tons of fun at parties," and "I hope I never piss one of these people off." So, almost like a Marine.
the rest of Europe sees you the same way the rest of the US sees Florida. You're the absolute wildcard that, when time comes, gets all the most impossible shit done, even with the secret ingredients of crime and drugs aiding you, but when times are quiet we look at you the same way we'd look at a bottle of nitroglycerine sitting on an old washing machine that's about to start Please never change
I do not want a quarrel with you guys, 'cause every Finnish person I've known has been pretty chill and also Finland as a place scares the shit outta me. I don't wanna be buried in a Soviet graveyard.
@@the_fat_electrician I enjoy all your content man. You have great topics, stories and tell them well and hilariously. I've enjoyed watching the quality of your videos get better and better. I have no idea how you don't have millions of subscribers because you deserve to. Again I wish you and your channel the best man. 👍
Another great Finnish soldier I recommend checking out Lauri Törni. He fought for Finland against the Russians then joined the German SS to continue fighting the Russians. After he left Germany to go to the US changing his name to Larry Thorne where he served in the 5th, 7th, and 10th special forces groups along with the 11th airborne AKA Arctic Angels out of Alaska. The man was so badass that the Sabaton song “Soldier of Three Armies” is about him. Also let’s not forget the biggest nightmare of every Soviet officer. The man the myth the legend. Another Finn that Sabaton wrote a. Song about. The White Death himself Simo Häyhä.
@@Ferkrat if you take the time to read his history he only joined Germany in order to continue to fight against Russia who invaded his homeland to which he then fled and became an American. He wasn’t part of the concentration camps and was against what the Nazis stood for. He was made an SS because of his experience as a highly skilled soldier. Educate yourself before making stupid uneducated statements like that.
@@GreenSargent While association of any kind with the SS is a horrible look. Depending on the source, he was never even a proper member of the SS. He was sent to Austria for training and was temporarily recognized as an SS NCO for about a month before being sent back to Finland.
@@RedDeadTrooperthe reality is that he clearly had issue with the Soviets and Communism more than anything else. His intentions and beliefs were clear in that he truly believe "better dead than red."
Between those tablets (made by Germany so the germans likely had them too) and Tanker Chocolate, I’m convinced a good portion of the german troops’ diet was made up of meth. Can’t help but wonder the type of shenanigans the Marines got into with the stuff. I mean theyre already like Honey Badgers given human form as it is, I can’t imagine the chaos of one turbo charged like Aimo.
Gotta say, the only thing better than your punch line speed-bag short format videos, is your long format story telling! Had me glued to my seat, which is probably good cause otherwise I would have fallen out of it from laughter! well done!
The captain of my high school wrestling team had dual citizenship in the US and Finland. He placed second at state and got tons of scholarship offers. Instead of going to college, he returns to Finland to serve in the military. He went from 145 lbs. to 215 lbs. in a couple of years and none of it was body fat.
I grew in clay county KY, there was a meth lab not even a mile down the road from where I lived, one time they stole a weed eater and a chainsaw when my dad left it unatended for about 15 minutes when he went to get a drink and cool off, the only reason none of us got our quads stolen was that there was a large shed that had space for like 12 or so quads and it could be locked up, most quads have a universal key so if you have a honda quad there is a good chance your quads key will work on mine and vice versa.
As a Finn, this is normal (it's the winters that get you). But you should, if possible cover Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, the true "unkillable" "He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear; was blinded in his left eye; survived two plane crashes; tunnelled out of a prisoner-of-war camp; and tore off his own fingers when a doctor declined to amputate them", Describing his experiences in the First World War, he wrote, "Frankly, I had enjoyed the war."

He was killed in action in Vietnam in 1965 when his helicopter went down. His remains were recovered in 1999 with his South Vietnamese crew's, and are interned in Arlington National Cemetery.
I was about to comment this if someone else hadn't. The man has his own Sabaton song.
yeah literealy came to post the same thing.
I see someone else is a fan of Hard as Fuck Finns ie HAFFs for short.
Do it!
You just told the whole fuckin story lol
1/4 lb of meth+ one compass= one dead Hugh Jackman
Plot twist: Aimo is actually still hallucinating in that forest and we are all just a figment of his meth fueled hallucinations
He took so much meth that he transcend reality and became a God?
That cool NGL
I mean if ANYBODY was gonna be a reality warper, it's gonna be Aimo. Dude basically stopped following the rules of existence and said "fuck it, I'm high and Finnish", so I believe that plot twist.
the plot thickens.
the meth version of the holographic principle
It wouldn't surprise me to find out he never fully sobered up and his picture looks that way because he's legitimately seeing ghosts. Thirty times the dosage of high grade meth, and fucking Tylenol tells you your liver will fall apart if you eat 6 of them too close together. Man should've just exploded on the spot.
As a Finn this was unexpected, but great to see you learning about the absolute madlad called Aimo :D. I did my conscription service as a borderjäeger which is pretty much the closest thing to the ww2 era long distance recon units and i can say skiing long distances in full gear is shitty enough in exercises so can't even imagine what it was like during the war and high as shit.
Those skiis are almost waster going backwords than forwords.
Now think about doing that on those old ass skis from back in the war, that makes it even fucking worse to do 😂

I just love aimos picture. it’s like dude saw the future and was unimpressed. Aimo did slo-mo from judge dredd and was like so this is what mortals feel.
Urban legend has it that Aimo was the inspiration for the character Dash Incredible. 😉👍🤣
The Finns during WWII were crazy competent for their situation. They bled the Soviets like crazy for every inch. Every time you here the name of a finish soldier you know the story will be legendary.
It was too cold for the Russians, their tanks froze up and were ambushed by the Finnish soldiers but the Russians also froze to death in their foxholes. They never really had a chance against the men on skies 😂
@@murkyturkey5238 they also got hit hard by one of the greatest sabotagers of the Lauri Torni. who also became one of the first Green Brerets
Let's be real here. The only reason the Soviets won that war is the same exact reason why they won WW2 against the Germans. They threw bodies at the issue without a care in the world as to how many died. This is distinctly different from how the west approached WW2.
It's all fun and games until the snow starts speaking Finnish
Video should have been titled “Finnish man becomes Cornholio”.
So many in the comments seems to want to know about the story that won the writing contest. It's way more tragic and somber than the account of Aimo as are most of these stories though.
First place of that writing contest was a written account about the last days of the winter war in Petäjäsaari (pine island), lake Ladoga and almost total destruction of the 220 Finnish men defending it, less than 20 survived almost all of them wounded.
Don't know if English translation of it exists but it's called:
Viimeiseen mieheen (To the last man) by Tauno Seppä and was published in Kansa taisteli (Nation fought) magazine in 1978
Thank you. I was on my way to Google homepage to find the winning story from the magazine.
Yeah I kinda feel like an asshole now.
I mean.. they both kind of attest to the sheer grit and determination the people of Finland are capable of. One story shows their solidarity and bravery despite impossible odds, and the other shows that Finns can tank a dose of meth that would kill a horse. Either way, it would seem Finns don't die unless they're ready to. One doesn't take a Finn's life, they ask politely for it.
soooo 220 Finns ... how many battalions on the other side?
🫡
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do my grandfather was a navy seal and he would not do anything on Sunday until he watched your videos and I loved hearing him tell me about his service and your videos so thank you for helping me keep great memories alive by watching your videos keep doing what you do
As a methhead, I abhor the stereotype that all we do is steal cat. converters. We also do cool things like blare Marilyn Manson in McDonald's drive-thrus, fight strangers on the town square, and collect exquisite stalactites.
Did electronic tweakineering come out of style?
I have made and seen some ingenious (sometimes perfectly working) and batshit crazy DIY electric contraptions made basically using whatever relevant know-how/information quick googling provided, wire strippers and electricians tape though sometimes (but very rarely) even soldering iron was used.
Remembering apartment full of speakers, bikes, computer parts, hi-fi stereos, more or less illegal chemicals..and all those definitely hazardous DIYT (do-it-yourself-tweaked) electrocuting traps, tasers, weaponry, 💣 💥
I'm not sure if I feel nostalgic yearning for speeding but I'm grateful and lucky that nobody got killed by those works.
Just what a methhead would say.

He told Buddha pervitin was the way to enlightenment.
He stole Azathoth's flute and played Hot Cross Buns on it.

I messed with meth for a couple of years. My first binge on my first time smoking meth, I stayed up 21 days. Within a week or so, my vision looked like it was raining in front of my face or like the static from an old CRT TV. There was also shadow people everywhere - behind trees, in the limbs of trees, peeking around buildings, etc.
The last night I was awake, I saw this demon dragon thing in the clouds a little after dusk and I said, "Nope. It's time for bed"... Which, going to sleep is freaking scary after about a week - it feels like you won't ever wake up or something. I would sleep for 24 hours easy back then and sometimes even more without ever waking up. I remember picking at a splinter for 19 hours straight without ever standing up once.
You could really go to sleep anytime if you quit refueling for several hours but that was my first experience and I just kept going - it all feels like one long day - so I didn't even think to go to sleep. I always managed to keep my senses and I knew all the hallucinations were just bullshit - but people around me were totally spazzed out and crying and rambling and stuff over the things they were seeing.
Meth gave me energy but I supposedly have ADHD so it also made me really calm - like I could either tweak on electronics, dumpster dive, get into random mischief or sit down by the fire and read a book. Weird - all types of speed have always affected me like that. Glad to be away from it though - it devours your soul among everything else.
Don't do drugs kids - it may look cool while your friends are doing it but the other part that you haven't seen yet is the withdrawal when you run out of money or can't find your drug - cold sweats and shivering in a pool of your sweat not feeling like sleeping or being awake or existing or doing anything while feeling like you have the worst flu you've ever had with a simultaneous massive panic attack and depending on the drug, your bones hurt and it feels like your limbs are being pulled off - and in the worst of cases, you might lose control of your bowels or bladder and so on.
So, not just some old person saying, "Drugs aren't cool - just say no" - you eventually get to a pathetic and objectively uncool state - opioid withdrawal was probably the worst thing I've ever been through that just affected my own mind and body - like the death of loved ones rivals it but in a different way. But as far as anything only affecting my own person/body, opioid withdrawal still gives me chills to think about. But the meth, I think, gave me sleep apnea and extending from that, my life has been fucked ever since quitting everything. So really, it's your life and your business or whatever but, if you've never done drugs, you are a lucky MFer - and I highly advise you to keep it that way... I'm a walking anti-drug campaign ever since quitting everything lol...

I got another Finn for ya, Lauri Allan Torni, aka Larry Alan Thorne. The man hated Communists so much that he fought in the Finnish army against the USSR in the Winter War and Continuation War, earning the Cross of Mannerheim (the Finnish equivalent of the Medal of Honor) in the process, then fought against the Soviets with the Waffen SS in WWII, earning an Iron Cross in the process, then fought in Vietnam as a Green Beret in the US Army, ultimately going down when his helicopter stuck around too long and got hit by bad weather. In total the man earned the Cross of Mannerheim, an Iron Cross, the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, and the Distinguished Flying Cross (though that would be awarded posthumously), and became known as the Soldier of 3 Armies, which is also the name of a pretty sick Sabaton Song about the guy
Now you must tell us the story that gave him second place.
Yeah, I'm not mad he came second, I want to read the story of the first!
Maybe it was Simo?
The vikings didn't even go into Finland. They have stories about vikings and Scandinavian settlers going in but nobody ever coming back out. There's also viking writings talking about the native inhabitants 'Finns' as being part man and part elf who don't need to eat or sleep and don't feel pain lol. Makes me proud to be finnish. SISU!
Next you should do a video on MAD JACK CHURCHILL. The only man who got a confirmed kill with a Longbow in WW2. Oh and carried a Long sword with him into battle while playing bagpipes.

I would like to point out, as a former Pharmacy school student, that methamphetamine has an initial duration/half-life of only about 12-13 hours. He didn't take the entire bottle in a single dose. He DID take way too many pills, but only about 1/4 the total contents. The reason his story lasts so long is that he kept redosing at somewhat regular intervals to stave off exhaustion and sleep. That's also probably why he began experiencing wild hallucinations and delusions. Meth by itself shouldn't do that in most otherwise sane people. However, severe sleep deprivation absolutely CAN do that. Meth can easily keep you awake for over 72 hours, which is about the point that most people start to report intense delusions, visual phenomenon, etc...
I know kids that have stayed awake for 30 days.
You take enough at once and it's not ending in 12-13 hours. You're going to be up for a few days. Then when you do finally get some sleep, it'll be a short nap.
@@samxfour Aimo himself has stated this specific correction on multiple occasions. He continued to take the pills over the course of events. He didn't down the entire bottle on his first dose.

Another great Finnish soldier I recommend checking out Lauri Törni. He fought for Finland against the Russians then joined the German SS to continue fighting the Russians. After he left Germany to go to the US changing his name to Larry Thorne where he served in the 5th, 7th, and 10th special forces groups along with the 11th airborne AKA Arctic Angels out of Alaska. The man was so badass that the Sabaton song “Soldier of Three Armies” is about him.
Also let’s not forget the biggest nightmare of every Soviet officer. The man the myth the legend. Another Finn that Sabaton wrote a. Song about. The White Death himself Simo Häyhä.

@@Ferkrat if you take the time to read his history he only joined Germany in order to continue to fight against Russia who invaded his homeland to which he then fled and became an American.

Educate yourself before making stupid uneducated statements like that.

I've heard that the fact that it was so cold helped him not have a heart attack or overheat
@@ThinWhiteAxevery plausible!
This man has the eyes of someone who can see the past, present, and future all at once... Or hes gone mach 10... Probably both.
The captain of my high school wrestling team had dual citizenship in the US and Finland.
He placed second at state and got tons of scholarship offers.
Instead of going to college, he returns to Finland to serve in the military.
He went from 145 lbs. to 215 lbs. in a couple of years and none of it was body fat.
Them northern boys are built different
Steroids is a good drug
I grew in clay county KY, there was a meth lab not even a mile down the road from where I lived, one time they stole a weed eater and a chainsaw when my dad left it unatended for about 15 minutes when he went to get a drink and cool off, the only reason none of us got our quads stolen was that there was a large shed that had space for like 12 or so quads and it could be locked up, most quads have a universal key so if you have a honda quad there is a good chance your quads key will work on mine and vice versa.
Been a fan of Mr Ballen for a few years now. The Electrician is like Ballen but harder & more graphic & I literally can't stop laughing
I was thinking that too
Mr Ballen is good but has nothing on this guy.
I think ballen is more graphic then Electritcian, and in my opinion ballen is more scary
As a Finn, this is normal (it's the winters that get you). But you should, if possible cover Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, the true "unkillable"
"He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear; was blinded in his left eye; survived two plane crashes; tunnelled out of a prisoner-of-war camp; and tore off his own fingers when a doctor declined to amputate them", Describing his experiences in the First World War, he wrote, "Frankly, I had enjoyed the war."
Sabaton made a song about him, pretty good too!

Just a little Freedomous
I genuinely believe the Finnish aren't human beings, but rather supernatural warriors born to kill and survive in winter lands against all odds.
