I am a HUGE fan of Hazen. Man not only is a survival beast, but has the most sensible understanding of different cultures. A lot of respect to you mate from Australia.
I took a semester of first aid training in high school and one of the chief things I remember our teacher telling us was never to try removing an impaling object from an injury - let the pros IE, a surgeon handle it because it’s holding back leaking blood. I think of him telling us that every time I see a scene where someone pulls a sharp object of themselves or someone else. He was a great teacher too - funny dude, made the class interesting but still taught us a lot.
I reckon the only time you'd want to pull that kind of thing out is if you knew there was no medical help coming, you had a way to control the bleeding, and you think you have a better shot with an open wound versus an infection from keeping it in. Your body really doesn't like foreign objects in it. When I had to have my nose packed for bleeding I was actually given pills to take to stop toxic shock from the packing thing because it needed to be in a few days.
Absolutely. The two main complications in a scenario like was depicted is the lack of quick medical attention and that the FOD is caused by dirty wood. Wood in an environment like what will be absolutely HEAVING with bacteria amd small toxic material. Plus unless you're a native or have spent long enough to train your immune system for that environment, at best you'll get a nasty fever. If there's no immediate medical help available you'd have to choose the lesser of two evils and remove it then hope you can control the bleeding plus your immune system copes.
This guy's show is great. One of the better things I've seen on History/Discovery/Animal Planet. He doesn't mythologize survivalism or the indigenous people where he is. I loved it.
@AnEarAche Damn, that's crazy. If you ever bump shoulders with him again; my dad and I found his show while staying at a hotel shortly after he got out of jail. He was getting back on his feet, and I was helping him run those errands. Watching Hazen's show was a really positive bonding moment for us. Not that I get the impression you're still in touch, but it would be cool if he knew the show was part of an important memory for us.

Quality of these rating videos dropped. Clips are only a few seconds short and this guy did a lot of describing instead of providing his insight. Don’t get me wrong, the guy’s cool but felt like the video could’ve been much better.
Agree strongly. Some of those clips were barely long enough just to understand what's happening and then him guessing and commenting. Great dude! Lost potential.
It’s probably to avoid getting flagged for copyright infringement. Despite fair use laws, studios always flag videos that feature clips more than a few seconds long and it causes the video to get demonetized.

that's what im saying lol everyone is questioning the validity of some guy they probably didn't know exist until now over what was probably a slip of the tongue
It's really dumb, too, because he's likely just using layman's terms to describe something instead of going off on some tangent. Or he did go off on that tangent, but it was edited out for time because the goal is to quickly educate the audience. Nobody is going to see a snake then debate whether it's venomous or poisonous for five minutes to try and figure out who gets bitten. 🐍
In the tree climbing scene, if you see a snake with its mouth open and fangs exposed, you have zero time to analyze whether its is a venomous snake or a constrictor. You freak out and fall either way, expecting the former.
So, I have to disagree about piranhas. I worked with the red bellies in an aquarium and I have to say that feeding them was quite tricky. They are terribly skittish and will spook quite easily, so it always took a while before they would start feasting on even the most bloody morsel. On the contrary, the vegetarian species of piranhas was quite curious and would happily nibble on anything that came into their tank (they don't have sharp teeth so it wasn't dangerous at all).
"poisonous snake"? Don't know who first said this, but: You bite it and you die: Poison It bites you and you die: Venom It bites itself and you die: Voodoo also, every other "jungle person" I've heard talk about leeches said to leave them until they are satisfied and drop off by themselves. but very good advice about (not) pulling the plug. It is one of my movie cliche pet peeves
my movie cliche pet peeves is bullets bounce of wind screens, taking cove behind a car door will stop bullets bullets alway hit heros (stars) in the shoulder and knock back villans as far as getting hit by a car
Make sure you never misspeak when you’re on the internet. All the experience in the world won’t be enough to make up for using the wrong word. If you asked him what the difference is between poisonous and venomous, of course he would tell you.
@@jdogwatcher7456 The speed at which you sink into it depends on how dense it is. It’s very easy to die from quicksand, especially if you’re alone. If it’s fast sinking sand, you’ll drown. If it’s slow sinking sand, you’ll suffocate from the compression on your chest and abdomen, or you’ll die of dehydration or exposure.
@@alann4598 i looked it up it said its basically impossible to die like that and shows that its actually hard to die to quicksand very rare to find deaths
Semantical comment: at 5:44 he said "poisonous snake" and we should all know he meant "venomous snake". It's not like the threat was getting poisoned from eating a random snake in a tree, the threat was getting bitten by a VENOMOUS snake in a tree.
I actually didn't notice that mistake, which just discredits his video even more, I actually came to see if anyone noticed that he said he could tell the snake was a Python, and gave the video a 10?? but there are No Pythons in the Amazon! Pythons are only found in Africa, Asia, and Australia. Either he identified the snake incorrectly, or he failed to know that there aren't pythons in South America, and he should have dropped the rating.
i got annoyed at the red bellied piranha part 😂, even starved piranhas dont attack people except in some very rare scenarios (e.g. if you crush their eggs)
Surprised he didn't mention that you're unlikely to hear the call of a red tailed hawk in a jungle in India 🙂 (13:07). Hollywood just loves that sound!
For a guy that knows a lot about snakes he sure doesn't know that poisonous and venomous aren't the same. 5:38 ( i guess he could have just made a mistake with the word but come on..)
@@Ninja_CheshieThat is true is a good general rule of thumb. You can also absorb poison through your skin and lungs. Venom can also be from a stinger or proboscis but that’s just semantics
He is a jungle survivalist expert, not a grammar expert. I also have used often poisonous animal as an synonym for venomous animal, (worked for 25 years in the Amazon) but okay, English is not my first language.
@@pietervanderveld3096 I understand your point, but then again, you seem to debunk your own argument. I believe that English is his mother tongue. Also, considering this is a scripted, pre-recorded video, he could have prepared better. When presenting on a subject you know well, you shouldn't make simple slip-ups like these, especially when you're supposed to be providing expertise or teaching less knowledgeable people.
I was told through my entire childhood how dangerous quicksand and piranha were, then learnes as an adult that it was largely myth. Now I find out the childhood myths are true after all!
@@amathy9690 Yeah, I was about to say exactly that. I have swam in rivers full of piranhas, never even worried. You'd have to be VERY unlucky to get bitten by one and even more so to be the reason to the beginning of a frenzy.
The quality of these videos seems like it's dropped. Movie clips are waaay shorter, sometimes some things the guests say seem to reference parts of the video that arent shown, and you can tell when the guest is speaking there are cuts in the middle of their sentences. It's annoying because the cuts are often during advice the guest is giving, or personal anecdotes which I'd need uch rather hear than not.
Wanted to know how a leech feels...so I took a spare one we wanted to use for the horses and let it feast. I bled through 4 dressings afterwards, for at least 7 hours.
Noticed a really funny mistake in Romancing the Stone a couple of years ago, watching it for the umpteenth time: watch closely when Douglas hits the rock cliff while swinging on the vine - you can see it flex because it’s made of rubber.
Poisonous snakes isn't something you need to be particularly worried about in a survival situation, and then only when figuring out what's safe to eat. What he means is VENOMOUS snakes! A good mnemonic is "if it bites you and you die, it's venomous, if you bite it and you die, it's poisonous!".

Sure, it's not going to be that easy to spear a fish, but in rivers I've caught a fish with my bare hands, and I've seen fish caught with sticks, bows, machetes, and pistols. It can absolutely be done and sometimes you just get lucky too.
Growing up fishing with leaches, I find it funny that people think all leaches are like that. The ones used for fishing in are not bloodsuckers. There is a very distinct difference when you happen to get one with your leaches and fish won't bite on them.
The Jungle is an often over looked Radcliff movie. personally, i think he's a fantastic actor, and am always glad to see him distancing further from the schlock that was Harry Potter (my opinion, i understand that it was a huge part of many of my peers' childhoods, so I'll leave my opinion that simple and leave the fans to enjoy it as they choose)
I've been watching his shows since i don't know when. But it's really entertaining and informative, whenever i watch it i learn something new and i like that.
LMAO. I love when the people rating the scenes saying something nice about the scene, "... that's why I'm giving it a 3". By the way, wouldn't this guy be great in a biopic of John Ritter? Interesting likeness.
Quick mud one is brutal. My 4 year old got stuck in it up to his waist. I jumped in and dug him out enough to pull him up. Then I got stuck, luckily it stopped just under my waist, had to slide out of my pants and shoes to get out. Not fun.
I don't know what you'd call it, quick sand or quick mud, but when I visited the upper peninsula in Michigan I had to go and do my business. I wasn't seeing where I was stepping, it was by the lake. And I noticed as I am standing there, watering the trees per se, I noticed the trees were getting taller or I was shrinking. It wasn't super fast and one of my feet was Sinking slower than the other. I was scared, but immediately leaned forward and stepped out. Luckily, there was solid ground just a foot away.... but being 40, I said to myself.... thank God I watched all those Saturday morning cartoons that made us think quick sand was going to be a major issue, which taught me what to do
I got leeches on me twice as a kid. Not anything as big as in the movies. They were very small, but I do remember the bleeding afterwards. Lots of bleeding but no pain.
10:56 - I used to live in Singapore, and there was a joke there. Singapore has two seasons. A wet season and a dry season. During the dry season, it only rains once a day. That wasn't too far from the truth.
@elfarlaur That's the point, though. An EXPERT in a given field absolutely would be pedantic and use appropriate terminology. Venomous snake, poisonous berries, and so on.
@@elfarlaur What a terrible take. The dumbing down of society is an exponential problem. I don't want my surgeon to say to an assisting resident, *"Cut that thing out but make sure you don't even touch that other thing, we all know what I mean, right?"* I want pedants who are meticulous to a ridiculous, almost competitive, degree. So should you. And "it's just TH-cam" isn't a good excuse anymore, since so many people use this platform for knowledge - especially knowledge proclaimed to be coming from an expert.
Elf was the one dumbing it down. The point was valid, and is not the only ridiculous part of this “expert” commentary. A survivalist who tells you that humans should be worried about piranhas is either hyping things up so you watch his show or is an idiot.
I used to go on a lot of adventures with one particular buddy of mine. crazy multi day canoe trips stealth camping wherever we could find or like we would would see a little island on a river/lake and decide we were going to camp there. We are both pretty capable out in the woods but we sort of made a good team because he was an excellent navigator (not my strongest area) and I was a much better planner and had better necessary gear and better at logistics of a trip. My only complaint is this guy could not leave a snake alone… any snake we came across he would want to try to handle it and it drove me crazy…. there were times where we had hiked 5+ hours into the middle of nowhere in some remote swampy area and he is messing with a poisonous snake. I’m like think about this: if you get bit I am now going to have to try and get you out of here… we have no phone signal and you are going to have to do the hike we just did to even get to a point we could possibly get medical attention. Instead of remaining calm and lowering your heart rate you will be hiking and navigating us back out of here.

He is a snake guy the same way some males are foot guys. They are not foot doctors but just simple pervs
Watching primal Survivor and been fan of hazen for like 6years
Since 2018
Im thinking if the leech leaves an open wound you would want to atleast cover it until it closes, especially in jungle environment
LMAO. I love when the people rating the scenes saying something nice about the scene, "... that's why I'm giving it a 3".
By the way, wouldn't this guy be great in a biopic of John Ritter? Interesting likeness.
lol I can kinda every see that.
3’s company but lost in the jungle 😂
Quick mud one is brutal. My 4 year old got stuck in it up to his waist. I jumped in and dug him out enough to pull him up. Then I got stuck, luckily it stopped just under my waist, had to slide out of my pants and shoes to get out. Not fun.
Abdominal puncture is deadly without intervention, likely surgical & antibiotic prophylaxis. Bacteremia from the intestines leads quickly to sepsis
lol at the first one
"Eh, it was good 3/10" 😅
EOD vet here. Love your vid
understanding of survival: 10/10
understanding of a rating system: 3/10
One of the best reviews I’ve seen
I don't know what you'd call it, quick sand or quick mud, but when I visited the upper peninsula in Michigan I had to go and do my business. I wasn't seeing where I was stepping, it was by the lake. And I noticed as I am standing there, watering the trees per se, I noticed the trees were getting taller or I was shrinking. It wasn't super fast and one of my feet was Sinking slower than the other. I was scared, but immediately leaned forward and stepped out. Luckily, there was solid ground just a foot away.... but being 40, I said to myself.... thank God I watched all those Saturday morning cartoons that made us think quick sand was going to be a major issue, which taught me what to do
I enjoyed this video, the only thing that i can say is snakes are venomous... not poisonous
Romancing The Stone is still a fun movie and book.....
I got leeches on me twice as a kid. Not anything as big as in the movies. They were very small, but I do remember the bleeding afterwards. Lots of bleeding but no pain.
Man I grew up on Primal Survivor and shows like that
The road mudslide on dirt roads is very true in the Serra nevadas in California too
Actually in the game, besides the movie she cauterized the wound and she was back in business pretty quickly I may say 😏
Also at that point in the timeline, she isn't exactly a survival expert, so she may not have known any better just like your average joe.
Probably the most tens i’ve ever seen given out from these experts!
As a Guyanese, hearing him (a foreigner) pronounce Guyana correctly is satisfying because its rare lol
LOVE Hazen! 💕☺️
Loved him for this
Despite bragging about snake knowledge, he still called them poisonous when they are in fact venomous, not poisonous.
Who cares
@asapthiccdadyletsgetit935 anyone who's above the double digits in iq knows the difference, we don't all need to be slow like you.
@@asapthiccdadyletsgetit935A lot of people... Why stay ignorant?
@@frogsbongs nah only dumb nerds care
@@asapthiccdadyletsgetit935 I do. Is he allowed to comment now?
Damn, Chris Pontius cleaned up.
Great video!
You definitely picked the right guy!
How cool would it be to get lost in the wild with this guy and les stroud. Sounds fun
"I'm a snake guy" but doesn't know the difference between poisonous and venomous lol!!
Oh please do tropic Thunder!!!
"It can rain anywhere from 3 months to 6 months" sounds like wales
He looks like the pokemon that evolved from Shia Lebouf
Bradley Cooper's latest immersive role
Oh it's Hazen Audel. The primal survivor
10:56 - I used to live in Singapore, and there was a joke there. Singapore has two seasons. A wet season and a dry season. During the dry season, it only rains once a day. That wasn't too far from the truth.
Hmmm, it has to raise a question or two when the survival expert says "poisonous snake"...
Not everyone is so pedantic. We all know what he meant
@elfarlaur That's the point, though. An EXPERT in a given field absolutely would be pedantic and use appropriate terminology. Venomous snake, poisonous berries, and so on.
Facts
@@elfarlaur
What a terrible take. The dumbing down of society is an exponential problem.
I don't want my surgeon to say to an assisting resident, *"Cut that thing out but make sure you don't even touch that other thing, we all know what I mean, right?"*
I want pedants who are meticulous to a ridiculous, almost competitive, degree. So should you. And "it's just TH-cam" isn't a good excuse anymore, since so many people use this platform for knowledge - especially knowledge proclaimed to be coming from an expert.
Elf was the one dumbing it down. The point was valid, and is not the only ridiculous part of this “expert” commentary. A survivalist who tells you that humans should be worried about piranhas is either hyping things up so you watch his show or is an idiot.
I would have loved to see him rate The Ghost & the darkness
I used to go on a lot of adventures with one particular buddy of mine. crazy multi day canoe trips stealth camping wherever we could find or like we would would see a little island on a river/lake and decide we were going to camp there. We are both pretty capable out in the woods but we sort of made a good team because he was an excellent navigator (not my strongest area) and I was a much better planner and had better necessary gear and better at logistics of a trip.
My only complaint is this guy could not leave a snake alone… any snake we came across he would want to try to handle it and it drove me crazy…. there were times where we had hiked 5+ hours into the middle of nowhere in some remote swampy area and he is messing with a poisonous snake. I’m like think about this: if you get bit I am now going to have to try and get you out of here… we have no phone signal and you are going to have to do the hike we just did to even get to a point we could possibly get medical attention. Instead of remaining calm and lowering your heart rate you will be hiking and navigating us back out of here.
2:28 this info abou piranhas is false af, a ton of papers have been written about this subject an something that all of them agree is that piranhas are harmless if you are not a fish or a dead carcass
Pro tip: Hold left on the screen to play 2x (likely adapted from TikTok).
Cast Away my fav movie!!!
The movie he rated “Jungle” was based on a true story. It is a slow going movie. It it is really good.
Excellent video 👍 Thank you
Should check out the hunting scene from jungle to jungle. Cool use of a blow dart (😅or I think that’s what they’re called)
broo.. i grew up watching this guys show.. i learned a lot from him
I remember on day i got acared of quicksand even tho i live in dallas and i came across a video of this guy escaping quicksand. Lol
I'd love to watch the movie Apocalypto with him just to ask him all the questions that pop into my head.
"Jungle" (2017), "Cast Away" (2000) ,"The Lost City" (2022) -most real
As a Pacific islander there is a difference when u say "quick sand" & "mud" 😂😂😂
Just a quick comment. Some snakes are VENOMOUS not poisonous lol
