They don't carry the antivenom because otherwise it would take away from the genuine Goodsprings experience. The experience of dying to the poison of Radscorpions or Cazadores.

Fella accidently started the world's biggest fallout convention in the middle of the desert, wish I had the money to go out there honestly, seems like good fun
It’s pretty cheap, buy a plane ticket in advance, at max it’ll cost ya around 80-90 bucks, a car rental for let’s say 4 days will be around 120. An air bnb in vegas for 4 nights depending on how dodgey you’re willing to go can get as low as 40-60 bucks a night, in the Town itself, depending how n whether or not you go during the new vegas day thing will range form 50 bucks to 200 a night. So a four day trip’ll cost ya around 400 bucks, take an extra 200 for food and other shit. Save up some cash for 3 months and you can make that happen easy. 600 dollars is practically 2 trips to the grocery store.

I never played any Fallout games, but to see that the owner of the bar embraced the fandom the way he did, and even made an event based on New Vegas is awesome
To be fair, being a small town bar owner and then having an influx of random nerds turning up and wanting to spend their money at your place is like gold lightning. Lucky guy, good for him!
Good for Stephen! - Bought a bar he thought was cool - Found out it was tied to a videogame - Tried to do something nice for the fandom - Accidentally stumbled into a goldmine! I mean it would be a lot of work, but also for a town of only a couple hundred people, figuring out you can consistently have 2-3 thousand potential customers come through on a specific weekend each year has gotta be fantastic for business!
And for the townspeople. Gives them a quiet time most of the year and then a fun event once a year to help generate income. Sounds like a win for the town.

Sarsaparilla is not root beer but an ingredient of it. Modern root beer is not like the old real stuff which used to be used like a medicinal tonic. It is sweet and not like genuine sarsaparilla.

It was to control your mind. They don't care about your health. Sarsaparilla will not have the complexity of flavor of root beer, modern or authentic.

I’m from the UK and got my passport 2 months ago, I really want to go abroad and this is the best advertisement to go to America, I finished New Vegas when I was like 11/12 back when it released.
If you notice, even amongst the ex-military men there was an Aussie I think. We are far more welcoming to foreigners than most expect, especially smaller places that tourists haven't absolutely ruined. I think a border-to-border south to north trip across the "wild west" would be amazing for anyone, let alone a visitor from abroad. Just don't get stuck on a reservation or in the hills of Utah at night without a plan.
I visited Goodsprings a few years back. The people at the Saloon and General Store were beyond nice. I was wearing an NCR t-shirt and the lady at the store gave me some nuka cola and sunset sasparilla bottle caps that had been made by a German tourist and given to her as a gift. I couldn't believe she just gave them to me, but she was like "ehhh, you care more about them than I do." Still got them at home today.

Someone writing TRANS LIVES MATTER all over two pages of a comment book is really a perfect image of the lgbt movement's relationship with the Fallout fandom
I mean Tim Cain was an advocate for the dignity of transgender during the development of the original Fallout. Fallout 2 was one of the first mainstream games to feature same-sex marriage. Fallout 2 also had a cut faction called, The Rainbow Confederation made up of all gay members. So it's no surprise that Fallout is a stable within the LGBT community when it did so much to highlight it before most mainstream media. The Sims being another great example a few years later.
For someone who has never played any fallout games but is a keen gamer anyway, I can understand the way people travel across the world just to visit a place a game is based on.
Keen gamer but didnt play fallout 3 and new vegas lmaooo aside mass effect and skyrim among the most immersive classic roleplaying games. In a post apocalype after nukes
Now that I know there IS a meetup annually AND there's a tank theme park nearby....I might just have to follow in your footsteps with my buds some year. XD
I love you Callum!!! I miss you on The Lotus Eaters ! (The podcast feels stiff and too serious without your presence) You are my MEME king bringing laughter to his peasants as the world burns! I think you should do meme reviews to help raise money!
The devs as Obsidian actually went out into the surrounding Vegas area to make the game more accurate to the real Vegas. You don't find that kind of dedication these days. Oh, and they had, like, a year and a half to make the damn thing. That's just a whole other level.
Ummm triple A devs usually.....visit the areas.....they are going to develop.....in...the....game. Like you went out of your way to glaze Obsidian for doing the same thing other triple A devs do. Are you slow or are you trying to be a tribalist and just crap on other devs so u can hype up NV? It's best to maybe go touch grass.
@@grizzlyadamblack bro why do you sound so angry. Man can like New Vegas. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I think the bigger part of his comment is the fact that Bethesda only gave Obsidian like, 9 months or so to develop new vegas, which makes the map accuracy more impressive

We miss you Callum, come back to Lotus Eaters. Collect all the comments like this and present them to Carl as a negotiation tactic for the price you want. You were literally the fan favorite, which is no small thing to consider since the team is so good.
Been a fan of Callum's vibe for many years now. The podcast never felt like his thing, sometimes he would just sit there for 10min doing his weird poker face and being bored and not saying anything. Hope he remains good friends with Carl and the rest of LE and ocassionaly stops by as does Lord Miles and Count Dankula.

TH-cam algorithm scoring major points with this one! I´ve been a big Fallout fan since like 2011 when i first played Fallout 3 at a friends house. Dont play much anymore, but i just never got tired of the lore, the places and such. The entire idea is just addicting for me. Watching this was super comfy, thank you.
This video encapsulates what makes America great. It’s about coming together over a shared love or something, whether you’re lgbt or a gun lover or an autist, unironically. Screw these politics these days that divide people red or blue just divides. Stuff like this binds all of us together no matter what our background or beliefs are. It’s true freedom!
Old man liver is a real one. Had the pleasure of meeting him when a biker fight broke out he told them to settle business in the parking lot. Possibly one of the best owners of a business i have ever met.
20:00 - yes. That's why it was called the Wild West. To see much of California become so authoritarian is bizarre. The desert and gold rush era was about freedom and small town justice.
Уже знаком с американской культурой, и, кажется, что больше не почувствую того восхищения внутри. Но когда смотрю репортажи подобного плана, у меня снова захватывает дух. Момент с энтузиастами на танках посреди пустыни просто добил меня, и я решил написать этот коммент. Все видео смотрел с улыбкой I've already been familiar with american culture and nothing seems to be able to cause the same excitment in me. But when watching this sort of documentaries, it again takes me aback. The moment of the enthusiastic fellas driving the tanks got me giggling, and I decided to leave a comment. You are one of a kind of authenticity. God bless America! Was watching the whole video smiling. My soul will settle in this place if I fail to do it in my lifetime UPD When nothing seems left to impress you a T34 and russian inscriptions show up in the middle of the desert. Damn mind blowing. Let's proceed and see if I hear "Big Iron" I wish some brainwashed didn't see each other as enemies
You are really good at what you're setting out to do here. Editing, narration, pacing, shots etc. I wish Karl had just let you do this with funding as part of Lotus Eaters. I could see the 'cooldown' interview with the boys after a video debuts. Oh well, good stuff in any case.
Dave and Busters was a odd restaurant, it mixed the classic restaurant/sports bar styled kitchen with an arcade. Tons of arcade games, you order your food, play games, drink beer, eat your food, drink more play more games. The card in the ticket box was the reloadable card to pay for arcade games.
That show is brilliant compared to the rest that Hollywood has crapped out lately. And, while not "great", it's far better than I ever could have imagined.
You can't make a good Fallout TV show. TV is a very antiquated form of entertainment when compared to a video game, so translating it between the two media forms is basically never going to end up good.
Glad you enjoyed a little taste of what america is really like outside of our urban hellscapes. Although you probably wouldnt have had as much fun if you went to Good Springs now, as its currently 107⁰ (42⁰C in non-freedom units) lol
A majority of us live in cities and suburbs, backwoods yokels don’t represent America lol. I’m from eastern Oregon the land is beautiful the people aren’t
Great video. Lotus Eaters isn't the same without you. There is a conspicuous lack of shitposting and "taking the piss" out of many of the topics presented on there now.
Root beer and sarsaparilla are NOT the same thing. Root beer is made from sassafras and sarsaparilla is made from sarsaparilla. Both drinks are sickly sweet and taste like herbs, but they do taste different. I can't stand the sugar any more, but if you ever liked root beer you should try sarsaparilla.

Callum trying to find where to move to to flee his rainy isle
this place looks cool as hell, would love to live there
@@some1online2Too hot
When you see Nipton IRL, you'll know Vulpes Inculta did nothing wrong.
patrolling the UK almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
Hits a bit close to home this comment lol
He's true from what we see on the webs. Your coutry and culture are phuqqqqed.
nuclear winter may even improve british food tbh
It'd be an improvement to the ambiance. It may also shoo away the, uhh... fauna from warmer climates.

I’m from the UK and got my passport 2 months ago, I really want to go abroad and this is the best advertisement to go to America, I finished New Vegas when I was like 11/12 back when it released.
If you notice, even amongst the ex-military men there was an Aussie I think. We are far more welcoming to foreigners than most expect, especially smaller places that tourists haven't absolutely ruined. I think a border-to-border south to north trip across the "wild west" would be amazing for anyone, let alone a visitor from abroad. Just don't get stuck on a reservation or in the hills of Utah at night without a plan.
I'm glad I'm not the only autist that did the FNV tour as their primary motivation for visiting the hellhole known as Vegas. Love you Callum
I can only imagine the smile on Callum's face as he rode atop that tank.
F*ck that reminds me I forgot to fix Judy’s radio
Your just evil smh
Maybe you should fix trudys radio first..

i didn't bring you out here to fight sasparilla bottles.
I visited Goodsprings a few years back. The people at the Saloon and General Store were beyond nice. I was wearing an NCR t-shirt and the lady at the store gave me some nuka cola and sunset sasparilla bottle caps that had been made by a German tourist and given to her as a gift. I couldn't believe she just gave them to me, but she was like "ehhh, you care more about them than I do." Still got them at home today.
The container of bottle caps, for the first survivor to arrive after the bombs fall. Like winning the lottery in Nipton.
Winning the lottery in Nipton never lasts long when I'm the PC.
And here I thought it was a bottle cap mine that wasn't armed
It took a while for caps to become currency. Tied to value of potable water and all that.
YYEEAAAH! WHO WON THE LOTTERY!? I DID!
Callum takes a sip from his trusty vault 13 canteen
Callum, miss you on Lotus Eaters so great to hear from you, 👍
I don't think he misses Sargons pesos on the hour or arguing over tradcuckery tho
Lotus Eaters has been going downhill for a while now, but it took a nosedive when Callum left
@@spaghettimkay5795Do you know why? I didn’t even know that happened,
though I’m not British,
but I watched Sargon years ago I sometimes Lotus Eaters when he created it, and if my memory serves me right Callum was first there, wasn’t he, regardless besides Sargon he was like main face of it for me
@Ratimir101 yeah the best segments were with Carl and Callum
@@spaghettimkay5795 Disagree. Lotus Eaters is getting bigger and better. They're talking to bigger names, having more influence while not selling out.
That tank guy had some kind of South African/australian/british/american accent, that was unexpected.
yep he's Australian you can see a patch of the Australian flag on his sleeve. Kinda made me happy as an Aussie tbh.
Sounds like an Australian that has spent a long time in Murica, plus he explained an Australian tank while wearing an Australian armband
*And yet you were so close to the hellscape that is California!*
If you ever have intentions of visiting, please notify me. Food, lodging, the works!
Someone writing TRANS LIVES MATTER all over two pages of a comment book is really a perfect image of the lgbt movement's relationship with the Fallout fandom
Yeah
You mean their relationship with basically any fandom?
Flag creatures ruin anything they touch
@@SergalCheeseHeadit's just a meme
I mean Tim Cain was an advocate for the dignity of transgender during the development of the original Fallout. Fallout 2 was one of the first mainstream games to feature same-sex marriage. Fallout 2 also had a cut faction called, The Rainbow Confederation made up of all gay members. So it's no surprise that Fallout is a stable within the LGBT community when it did so much to highlight it before most mainstream media. The Sims being another great example a few years later.
You can legit be bi or gay through perks in new Vegas so it's canon
That bar owner is an absolute champ!
Miss you on the podcast, but this content is top notch. Good to see you're across the pond.
For someone who has never played any fallout games but is a keen gamer anyway, I can understand the way people travel across the world just to visit a place a game is based on.
Keen gamer but didnt play fallout 3 and new vegas lmaooo aside mass effect and skyrim among the most immersive classic roleplaying games. In a post apocalype after nukes
Bro you’re missing out
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti Some people don't play roleplaying games.
Now that I know there IS a meetup annually AND there's a tank theme park nearby....I might just have to follow in your footsteps with my buds some year. XD
Always great to see content from you. Make British traveling and exploring the world great again.
I love you Callum!!! I miss you on The Lotus Eaters !
(The podcast feels stiff and too serious without your presence)
You are my MEME king bringing laughter to his peasants as the world burns!
I think you should do meme reviews to help raise money!
Callum yearns to explore deserts.
Don’t we all
His British blood yearns to take him to strange and foreign lands.
“The English have a great hunger for desolate places, I think you are another of these desert loving English”
A great line from a great film.
Its so hilarious to me that you still use the north Korean music because of the DMCA meme way back whenever 😂
You're looking well and younger since leaving Lotus Eaters. Suits you, but you are missed. Take care dude.
Looking forward to this!
Hey! It's you!
If america is Utahized does New Vegas become an -imperial- free city?
I'm surprised you survived the nevada sun being a rainy island man. See you November at the festival.
The devs as Obsidian actually went out into the surrounding Vegas area to make the game more accurate to the real Vegas. You don't find that kind of dedication these days. Oh, and they had, like, a year and a half to make the damn thing. That's just a whole other level.
The other games also have accurate locations...
Ummm triple A devs usually.....visit the areas.....they are going to develop.....in...the....game. Like you went out of your way to glaze Obsidian for doing the same thing other triple A devs do. Are you slow or are you trying to be a tribalist and just crap on other devs so u can hype up NV? It's best to maybe go touch grass.
@@grizzlyadamblack bro why do you sound so angry. Man can like New Vegas. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I think the bigger part of his comment is the fact that Bethesda only gave Obsidian like, 9 months or so to develop new vegas, which makes the map accuracy more impressive
@jormilos Awe are ur feelings hurt softy? And no guy made a comment to glaze Obsidian and acted like other devs dont do the same when most gamers know that is what most devs do. And yeah clearly its tribalism given by ur reply. "Bethesda gave em 9 months" who in the living he double hockey sticks cares?
@@grizzlyadamblack homie, why do you sound so angry? Chillax. Man, I remember when baits used to be believable. Guy can like something. Simple as. You're on a video about someone exploring goodsprings because he likes New Vegas and going into the comment section complaining that people like OP like New Vegas. Like, why? Relax. Be good to others
We miss you Callum, come back to Lotus Eaters.
Collect all the comments like this and present them to Carl as a negotiation tactic for the price you want. You were literally the fan favorite, which is no small thing to consider since the team is so good.
He's moved beyond the island of the lotus eaters, and is embarking on the rest of his Odyssey.
Been a fan of Callum's vibe for many years now. The podcast never felt like his thing, sometimes he would just sit there for 10min doing his weird poker face and being bored and not saying anything. Hope he remains good friends with Carl and the rest of LE and ocassionaly stops by as does Lord Miles and Count Dankula.
I miss him on LE too, but he is on a quest.
Everyone's so sick of culture war and politics... I can't imagine having to do it for a job in my 20's! I was traveling at his age, it's what young men are supposed to do: see the world and where you fit into it. Politics will always be there at the end (unfortunately)
Waiting pripyat tour
50,000 people used to live here.
Now it’s a ghost town.
Well after he visited Donbas, there is a real risk of getting arrested for it
Just wanted to say good on you callum for striking it out on your own and doing something you enjoy.
Do miss your persona on the lotus eaters but can honestly say as someone who is 42 married house kid etc I spent way to much time in my ealier years not doing adventures like this.
So good on you, hope it goes well for you.
Great content as always Callum. Miss you on the Lotus Eaters podcast.
I think the podcast misses him more. I find it hard to watch nowadays
@@spaghettimkay5795 I about had it with Stelios... Just can't take that dude.
@@1Life2Little he's so insanely dull
@@spaghettimkay5795 I like Stelios, his wit is dryer than the Mojave.
TH-cam algorithm scoring major points with this one!
I´ve been a big Fallout fan since like 2011 when i first played Fallout 3 at a friends house.
Dont play much anymore, but i just never got tired of the lore, the places and such. The entire idea is just addicting for me.
Watching this was super comfy, thank you.
I expect Callum to be wearing his best cowboy spurs for the pilgrimage.
Days like today are tough, but listening to that guy who owns the bar, reminded me how great my country and people can be.
This video encapsulates what makes America great. It’s about coming together over a shared love or something, whether you’re lgbt or a gun lover or an autist, unironically. Screw these politics these days that divide people red or blue just divides. Stuff like this binds all of us together no matter what our background or beliefs are. It’s true freedom!
@@olympian3 youre the first american ive seen online who isnt purely consumed by the left/right bs
@@leafy126.5 maybe it’s cause I’m Canadian 😭 but to me that’s the idea of America and its too bad it isn’t followed more closely
The American Flags on the graves are on the graves of veterans of the United States military.
I knew easy Pete wouldn't lend you his dynamite
Old man liver is a real one. Had the pleasure of meeting him when a biker fight broke out he told them to settle business in the parking lot. Possibly one of the best owners of a business i have ever met.
Spread those wings and fly Callum. American small town people are America.
Callum should shoot a big iron.
From his hip
20:00 - yes. That's why it was called the Wild West. To see much of California become so authoritarian is bizarre. The desert and gold rush era was about freedom and small town justice.
No step on snek (the antivenom also cost something like 20k a vial and you'll need several vials to save you)
Уже знаком с американской культурой, и, кажется, что больше не почувствую того восхищения внутри. Но когда смотрю репортажи подобного плана, у меня снова захватывает дух. Момент с энтузиастами на танках посреди пустыни просто добил меня, и я решил написать этот коммент. Все видео смотрел с улыбкой
I've already been familiar with american culture and nothing seems to be able to cause the same excitment in me. But when watching this sort of documentaries, it again takes me aback. The moment of the enthusiastic fellas driving the tanks got me giggling, and I decided to leave a comment. You are one of a kind of authenticity. God bless America! Was watching the whole video smiling. My soul will settle in this place if I fail to do it in my lifetime
UPD
When nothing seems left to impress you a T34 and russian inscriptions show up in the middle of the desert. Damn mind blowing. Let's proceed and see if I hear "Big Iron"
I wish some brainwashed didn't see each other as enemies
Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!
It's my old friend from Goodsprings.
Put on a hat! The sun’s no joke out there.
25:50 It's nice you got become friends with the Boomer faction, I hear they're a blast
You are really good at what you're setting out to do here. Editing, narration, pacing, shots etc. I wish Karl had just let you do this with funding as part of Lotus Eaters. I could see the 'cooldown' interview with the boys after a video debuts. Oh well, good stuff in any case.
No no, Callum has to spread his wings and forge out on his own.
@@Ammoniummetavanadate He only 'has to' because Lotus Eaters didn't have the budget or wanted to invest it elsewhere. Which imo would be a mistake.
Old Man Liver looks and sounds like a younger Gary Busey.
He lives!
The saloon owner is unfathomably based af
I've watched many videos from American nerds doing this NV pilgrimage.
It's way more interesting from Callum's POV 🇬🇧
What’s a former ADF staff member doing in Goodsprings?
Why... living his best life of course! Aussie Aussie Aussie!
It's hot as hell and the fauna kills you, basically AUS right
next up- Halo Tourism: Alpha halo
We can dream
"You wont believe what we discovered on Halo!" *Not clickbait*
Dave and Busters was a odd restaurant, it mixed the classic restaurant/sports bar styled kitchen with an arcade. Tons of arcade games, you order your food, play games, drink beer, eat your food, drink more play more games.
The card in the ticket box was the reloadable card to pay for arcade games.
They're still open btw, I was only there a year or two ago but they're still the same I believe.
There's still one in Pittsburgh too.
@@zab6124 They have at least one location in most major American cities.
RIP Matt Perry aka Benny
God I hope Callum can do this for Fallout London, visting all the best fictional places
Fallout fans really deserved a better tv show.
That show is brilliant compared to the rest that Hollywood has crapped out lately. And, while not "great", it's far better than I ever could have imagined.
@@kennethpryde966 Is not that is bad, is that it changes so many things, is not really a Fallout show.
You can't make a good Fallout TV show. TV is a very antiquated form of entertainment when compared to a video game, so translating it between the two media forms is basically never going to end up good.
@@queuedjar4578 That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
Glad you enjoyed a little taste of what america is really like outside of our urban hellscapes. Although you probably wouldnt have had as much fun if you went to Good Springs now, as its currently 107⁰ (42⁰C in non-freedom units) lol
Can confirm, it fucking sucks here.
A majority of us live in cities and suburbs, backwoods yokels don’t represent America lol. I’m from eastern Oregon the land is beautiful the people aren’t
Great video. Lotus Eaters isn't the same without you. There is a conspicuous lack of shitposting and "taking the piss" out of many of the topics presented on there now.
Glad you're having fun Kolm. It's unfortunate that things weren't going well.
7-UP Cake is NOT exclusive to Goodsprings. This is a widely-known recipe across North America.
I've only watched a few of your videos and they made me very excited for the content I get to watch
Love your style, more please 👏
EMS may not carry antivenom, but they can fly you to somewhere that does.
I remember driving through Nevada and heading towards Vegas after playing Fallout. It was really cool to see all the spots IRL that are in the game.
The TV show's cliffhanger ending taking place in New Vegas is gonna spike tourism up here even more than ever!
lmao at the sasparila drinking, also known as rootbeer, everyone one not from the usa says it tastes like medicine
Root beer and sarsaparilla are NOT the same thing. Root beer is made from sassafras and sarsaparilla is made from sarsaparilla. Both drinks are sickly sweet and taste like herbs, but they do taste different. I can't stand the sugar any more, but if you ever liked root beer you should try sarsaparilla.
@kennethpryde966 there are some quite palatable sugar free root beers out there
@@juliantheapostate8295 You then just have to worry about the cancer sweetening your drink or whatever other chemicals it happens to be.
That's probably because it often has wintergreen in it. There's no one root beer recipe, but wintergreen is often used.
I'm a mountain guy but love to hang out in the desert, except for the summer time. Summer in mountains and winter in the desert.
"Things weren't going that well..."
I'm genuinely concerned about what this meant.
I'm in the comments curious about that line as well.
Probably extremely blackpilled at the state of the UK, and knows it's at least 10 years of
Suffering there before things might get better. I'd flee too.
We miss you on Lotus Eaters!!!
