This doesn't look remotely fun to me. I don't understand these people.
Gringo's 😂
@@Mila-lu4mbYep 😅
@@Mila-lu4mba Spanish rapper just recently sewed his own mouth shut to protest something. You have no room to talk.
It magically cleared up my asthma !
@@bellaapple2166 🤣😂🔥🔥🔥🔥😳
Sure, these visitors are fine as long as they are only briefly exposed to triple digit temps and then can get back into their highly air-conditioned vehicles or go inside the air-conditioned ranger station. However, if any one of those vehicles breaks down more than a 20-minute walk from rescue, those humans would be in serious trouble if no one came to their rescue. Clearly with all that exposed skin, these visitors do not know how to dress for intense desert heat or intense sunlight and have little appreciation for how quickly a human can become dehydrated and dangerously over-heated in triple digit temperatures.
I visit Death Valey in the winter and early spring when temperatures are reasonable. I would never visit during the summer when my life would depend upon my vehicle and its air-conditioning not malfunctioning.
Couldn’t agree with you more.
Grew up Arizona yea once your acclimated too it it's normal.. had calluses on feet walking across hot asphalt was nothing..and there it was normal to take salt tablets daily...today's people freak out about that
Yeah I agree with that you have to be a little smarter. It's like going for a hike in the mountains with flip flops. Come one people!
If your car is broken down, and the AC works, stay in the car . 😂
I'm wondering about that too. Did the park ranger realize if your car breaks down the air conditioner won't be working. Maybe if you have a flat, but if the motor isn't running the same with the AC, except if it's electric. In that case, the heat will probably play havoc with the batteries.
Regardless you are dead😊
You're so one dimensional it's sad..
@@roachtoasties If the engine breaks down the AC wont be working, but if your wheel brake locks up, you blow a clutch, etc, the AC can still work. There are 747428 situations in which a car is not mobile but has a functioning engine.
@@electronicsworkshawpIs that an actual number or did you make that up? 😂
My Father drove the two of us through Death Valley in the 60's in the middle of the day (Summer, 120F) in a car with no AC. I was about 9 and kept telling him I was too hot, but he was a military vet and said to sit upright, chest out. I tried that for a few moments then started complaining again. He said, "This isn't too hot. When I was stationed in Hong Kong in WW2 it was hot & humid. This is a dry heat. You'll be fine." But I could feel I was getting ready to pass out, then I saw green liquid on the passenger floor. My father said, "Look at the anti-freeze." So I fell forward on to it and used my hands to elevate my head out of the liquid, which felt cool and passed out. My father yelled at me to get up but he never pulled over or anything. Near dusk I came to and got back up in my seat. My father said, "Boy I sure am glad you're ok. Your Mother would have really gotten after me if anything happened to you." On the radio the local news was about a married couple and their daughter whose car broke down that day in Death Valley and all 3 were found dead. So I guess I dodged a bullet that day thanks to the anti-freeze but wow, did I ever have a bad headache and green hair. Nothing like some severe child abuse to remind you you're not in control at that age.
What the heck was wrong with your dad?
Jesus, and I thought my Dad was bad.
I can't believe a more upright posture didn't help. 😆
His brain was already melted.
A parent’s love can be so poor. Live on friend.
And these are the people who will forever say they've been somewhere hotter on every relevant occasion.
If it’s 100+ degrees where you are.. Just get in your car and not turn on the ac. Stay there for 10mins and it’ll feel like Death Valley really quick without going to Death Valley in person.. same thing
A car can get hotter than Death Valley. Sometimes they can get up to 143°F!
All humans
Stop wasting water.
Switch off electric instruments when not in use.
Stop using single use plastic.
Plant more plants.
I've lived in Southern California nearly all my life, but I have never had an inclination to drive out there during the summer. I guess there's something wrong with me. :/
Your not alone
i grew up in so cal (20 years) and i've never been to death valley. i'd love to go there at night tho to watch the stars.
It's a strange idea. No one is driving to North Dakota in the winter to experience extreme cold.
Yeah I live up in NorCal, and I've been there but it was in December because well... I don't do well with heat hence why I live up here.
@@unknownuser5585 Is North Dakota the coldest place on Earth? Plus cold tends to be harder to physically get to, if it's that cold it probably means a crap ton of snow too
they risk life and limb for an instagram photo, smh
Thanks for putting all the geniuses on display for us dumb folk who choose not to risk our lives for a photo op.
While they're getting their heat training in you're sitting on the couch complaining smh bruv
@@ljot1 Sure, “bruv”. It’s not like I have dozens of videos published on my monetized TH-cam channel showing me buying and fixing up a sailboat to live in preparation to travel around the world just for the sake of experiencing as much of the planet as possible while I’m alive or anything.
But you know me, “bruv”. Just another fat, lazy consumer. That’s me. Good game.
Having grown up in Arizona we always found humor in watching Californians get excited about going out middle of day to hike . We knew better and took salt tablets..yea they were usually found dead...how we got two fairly new cars at tow yard auction
@@miguelcastaneda7257 I was born in NM 😉
Been there, it cleared up my asthma.
It is much, much more difficult to survive 2 hours at 110°, than 2 minutes at 124° for a photo
am I the only one who noticed the common theme among these people?
People are really bored.
Bored to death.
Wearing black in that heat ?
Yeah, she shouldn't be wearing those bottoms 😜
I have a heart condition and I’ve passed out multiple times from the heat, you couldn’t pay me to go there.
There are quite a few medical conditions that extreme heat can make worse! I know, I have high blood pressure and am on lots of medication for it. Also skin conditions such as Rosacea and Eczema can be made worse by the heat! (When you have Rosacea, the blood in your face literally DRAWS IN the heat from your environment, and you turn bright red)!
many decades ago I traveled from Portland Oregon to Death valley in July and a circuit on my car melted that caused the car to overheat. What a nightmare that was.
So there is a mass gathering where folks want to tour a area at the hottest time. Truly this is a confusing time
Oh, my, how we are de-evolving. Is regular life not challenging enough?
Let them be adventurous.
OMG where are people's hats?
I thought this same thing; that and a lot of high SPF sunblock! Plenty of drinking water is a MUST too!
I'm comfortable here in Wisconsin. I know but it's not California.
It's beautiful out here in Oakland it's about 68 degrees today perfect
@@Mila-lu4mb Oakland? Do they still have a major sports team?
@@louiss.7765 Wow
@@Mila-lu4mbEnjoy the weather and a few thugs running around robbing your local stores for a few dollars 😂
@@louiss.7765 The A's are still here
It’s not the sand and rocks it’s the Sun 🤣😂
It was 123 degrees there the other day at 2am in the morning 😂
CRAZY HUMANS!!! I live 2 hrs west in China Lake and i dont even go outside in the summer if i dont have to. You ppl are nuts!! At 111, im staying in the house!!
My favorite place in summer I just visited this week and was amazing but lonely.
“1-3 ppl die in the park a year, and yet there are still ppl willing to risk it” That’s not a risk bro considering how many ppl go there every year.
I die at 80 degrees, forget this place
There are so many beautiful National Parks. They chose there?
Looks beautiful to me.
@@ricardocantoral7672 I'd hate to see your neighborhood.
The mojave's beauty is far above your life's paygrade
@@Sigledriceman So, according to you, my life's value is less than...yours?
What a vile statement.
Risky RIsky Risky Should your AC break down or have a leak or anything your cooked...All to feel what 130 is like..People are very stupid.
For people in search of a life!
why would anyone willingly go there, AND risk their life
"Been there, done that" crowd.
The high temps can get up to 124 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
Almost nobody in this reel wearing a hat for heat and sun protection! Hilarious!
Are they or AREN'T they wearing high SPF sunscreen? You KNOW you need that in those temperatures!
Then their families cry boo who when they are found dead. 🙄🤦♂️
Genuine question: is it climate change if it has already happened multiple decades back when pollution was minimal or non-existent?
Ask Greta she will know
I don't think the issue is record temperatures altogether, it's the fact that record temperatures keep happening at a more frequent pace. In the summers you'd get 2-3 heat waves maybe lasting a week at most and one really hot summer every 5-6 years. Now it's an annual thing.
@@lifevest1 that makes sense... Thanks :)
Maybe the sun has some influence on temperature.
@@lifevest1the environment has been changing since the beginning of time. There’s no point on record the climate has not been changing.
Its 117+ in Phoenix. Im good i kno2 what hot is lol no need for D valley
Why were people wearing black in death valley
It sounds Suicidal!
cold weather is more dangerous for some people my parents always went to the desert for vacation we were hiking in the hills around palm springs in 119 degrees no one had problems what about the extremes the donner party faced can someone live nowadays above 86 degrees ?
In this summer, The Summer of 2024, several people have literally died from being out in the 110+ temperatures walking! Healthy, young people in great athletic shape!
You spelled morons wrong.
Maybe they are just bored or they want a natural sauna. Kids should not because their bodies can't cope as much.
Practicing for where they're going long term.
Simply foolish, there's no point and your car may breakdown in the process and die in that heat.
1:06 & 2:04 Hey! Brett!
Temperatures are neither "hot" nor "cold".
Temperatures are "high", and temperatures are "low".
If your car breaks down, you die.
They can have death valley ! I'll be in the AC !
Been there done that in July 2021 when record was set. Believe it was 132°
Come on USA folks, stop telling that the death valley is the hottest place on the world, Please come to Saudi Arabia Easter region Al Ahsa or to Kuwait on Middle of July we usually record 133F+ 55c+ 😂 not a joke that's real😢
0:25 mmm dang... I need to visit Death Valley
They hated that reporter that's why they sent him there.
After this, they can go to a watching grass grow festival.
That sounds miserable. what's wrong with people 😂
Death don't have no mercy in this land
-- Rev. Gary Davis
It’s all fun and games to most people until someone dies of heat stroke or hyperthermia
As per 0:24, I'll be headed to Death Valley
I don't understand the appeal.
and peeps still think solar panels dumb idea?
Imagine the wattage that could be soaked up and used.... FOR AIR CONDITIONING?!?!
The world is full of posers.
If you want some good heat. Go jogging on the paseos in mid summer.
120s are not a record in death Valley California. Death Valley California holds the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded on planet earth. I’ve also done military exercises in death Valley. That was 25 years ago, almost 30 years ago actually, and it was in the 120s then. Stop making this out to be something that it’s not.
Okay I’m sorry
“If your car break down but air conditioning still working” not likely unless you have a flat tire. Crazy lady
A flat tire is considered a broken car. She is correct. Educate yourself before you make comments.
This summer ,peeps dying from the heat. Previous 2 summers , covid killed em 🧐
Exactly were old people dont belong
the humidity is 30% making that a walk in the park
The place will be packed when the temperature reaches 150
That heat heat.
I’m getting credits to watch this video. Getting credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch this.
So the record 110 years ago has not been broken?
tell me it was a little joke, if the car breaks down stay inside the car with the 😁a/c on
No joke. Where are you going to walk to? If you stay with your car you have shade, and a rescue party can spot your car much easier than you trying to walk somewhere.
IT'S NOT HOT, IT HAUTE!😂 I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES THE PARK RANGERS HAVE HEARD THAT JOKE😩
Try taking the temp in the dirt without any concrete around im sure will will be normal and not be a record stop trying to find new ways to set a record by bs
Whyyyyy
its always fun and games...."UNTIL SOMEONE LOSES AND EYE!!!"
0:33 is that William Dafoe?
I'm a cool seeker
death valley is a place where you visit once lol
TR-h& nah i been there many times. Make sure your ac is good
Touron is a more accurate term😬🤷♂️
Hubris
Looks like they have some big women in Death Valley. Wonder if Charles knows about this 🤔
Don't call anyone when your going thru dehydration. You chose to be out there on a heat wave
*when you're going through dehydration.
PASS
Ice people all the way out of character 😂
00:25 - Instagramer Squad on their way to ask the ranger where the nearest Starbucks is.
Since 1913 we as humans have added so many more heat islands, CO2 and all other kinds of horrible pollution and we still cant break the 134* record… but don’t worry, climate change preachers will say that’s exactly what it’s suppose to do 😮
Better not touch my carbonated beverage, I love Coke a Cola.
You should leave earth and help take the strain off the planet
Climate related deaths are on the decline and there is no increase in natural disasters. Humans are so conceited, they actually think they can alter the climate.
Rather go to,Disneyland
If there were Aliens from other galaxies watching us "humans" do this they'd simply turn around and leave..
"No intelligent life here", NEXT!
yaaaa, i’m good
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crazy mf 😂🤣😂
Ego Maniacs.
It's a quick way to get a Tan I guess...
News team.... Hey Brett ! Go do a story on Death Valley , You'll love it .........
If you want to die. This is the place to be
It's always "those" people I figured would like to go "enjoy" being in the record heat. 🙄
i can see breeze no problem then
More like hot heads!
GO Home
I want a barbecue 😊
That temperature is normal in my hometown Mexicali, Baja California 😂
_Charles Darwin has entered the chat_
Are these nfs stupid?
Seems like our energy problems could be solved by erecting a solar energy plant in Death Valley or much of the California deserts.
That is the main reason why since 2020, every new home built in California has to have solar panels, and I believe by 2024 it will also include every new business
"solved" LOL! You should be hired as the head of the Department of Energy.
Yo y'all is nuts
