Can we take a moment to admire the balls on this dude? Joining a hunting group of locals, into the sweltering jungle, while naked, at night. No self consciousness, rolling with the jabs, and not quitting. WTF dude? Salute.
Get this man a TV show! I could watch him learn any language and go spend a week with whatever culture he is learning about. Definitely a star in the making!
It's interesting, if he was on a TV show he would have fewer viewers and likely far earn less money. He also would have to let other people have a say in what kind of content he puts out. I think the TH-cam "open" format is perfect for this.
I'm so proud of Ari for having the courage to run along naked men. His courage when talking to strangers in Mandarin is one thing, but this sure is something else 😅
And respect to these people and their way of life. They were kind enough to let an outsider in... So we should be kind enough to stay outside and let them live.
Mad props to Xiaoma for this. This is the same guy who couldn’t get a face massage without yelling. He’s come a long way. And I’m super impressed with his toughness here.
@TheGStick Can't agree more. I got this dude totally wrong from watching some of his other video's. To actually do this stuff apart from learning the language makes this content 10x better. He should just do this with every obscure tribe on the planet, and show how small the barriers are between all people. I'm simply amazed.
So much better than a boring documentary based off third hand knowledge, getting right in there, speaking their language and actually hunting naked with them! Literally amazing!
This man has balls, for not only going through the jungle naked with a forgotten tribe, but to leave in the part of the video where they called him “small” 💀
As someone else said, this humanizes the tribes 100x better than any documentaries out there. It's so cool seeing the similarities in communication and the stark differences as well. This was truly amazing to witness.
The Waorani tribe seem to be humble people. Although it may have been awkward for you to be put into a situation like this, we still applaud your courage for taking such huge risks.
They used to kill people like crazy, then they were introduced to Jesus and everything changed. They are the ones that killed the 5 missionaries, and some of the widows and their children went to live with them and show forgiveness. It totally changed their society.
Yeah, they humbly grabbed his penis, humbly made fun of it while the whole village laughed at him then again later, made fun of his skin, and then left him behind to be lost in the jungle. Interesting standards for humble you have.
The courage to go into the jungle naked is actually insane! Knowing what resides in those jungles and still going in is a remarkable accomplishment. To really immerse yourself in the culture like that takes guts.
I used to think Ari was brave for trying all the random food he would eat but this takes it to a whole new level. Much respect for putting your life on the line to share this unique culture with us.
This is more authentic and closer to the actual life experience of tribes living in the Amazon than any BBC documentary I've seen. You should get an award for this stuff
There have been many documentaries done in the past. Others have gone to the Amazon and lived naked with the tribes. The young generation woukldnt know about them. Pretty sure it was the national geographic channel who aired most of them in the early 2000's
Man, speaking their language just hits different from all the thousands of "proper" documentaries out there. you humanized the people! The men making jokes and running aimlessly in the jungle, makes us viewers feel we were actually in the moment. amazing video. truly.
@@karwashblark7499 Maybe he only knows a little bit of their language and they communicate in Portugese most of the times, that wouldnt suprise me. But I can't tell beacuse I dont know Portugese. Maybe it is just similar language.
You looked torn between relishing a once-in-a-lifetime experience and regretting every life decision that led you to this point. Mad respect. That was an amazing glimpse into the lives of people who live spectacularly differently than I do.
this is so amazing. it’s the first time I’ve actually felt this group of people being humanized- like, they’re not some distant species to be ogled at, but are actually humans who are relatable. they’re people who could be our friends and family. seriously next level content, I don’t think I could find this anywhere else. tysm 🙏
I'm glad this video helped you to expand your boundaries and get a better understanding of how close foreign societies actually are to our own society. But please be careful, the way you are framing your admiration implies that you are actually surprised to see how "humanized" indigenous people are, as if your were led to think before they were not.
@@DaBigPear sorry, I meant to refer to the idea of 'uncontacted tribes' rather than indigenous people in general. I used to hear news about how such modern-day uncontacted groups were incredibly hostile and should be avoided at all costs, etc., so I'm definitely glad that this video provided an inside look and expanded my knowledge :)
@@rainspiritthey are not uncontacted though, and do a lot of media and legal work for the Amazon protection. He mentioned in a video that there are uncontacted tribes in the area, you definitely shouldn't mess with them (for their and your own sake).
Honestly, this video could've been a full blown 1,5 hour documentary and I would've watched it without even noticing. This was the most insightful and interesting view into the life of an amazon tribe I've ever seen. Even National Geographic couldn't pull sth like this off. Thanks for that!
This guy has no ego, I love it. Just the fact that you weren't self-conscious at all and just threw yourself right into the experience is inspirational, let alone the incredible language skills. Thanks for giving us this experience Xiaoma, you're a unique dude in the best way possible!
I had the experience of being tossed in a clothes dryer all stripped down after coming out of a pool with one of my friends at a pool party next thing we knew two of our friends shut the door and turned the dryer on.bothe of us were tumbling around in the nude.
So glad to have been a part of this. This was one of the most intense experiences of my life! We really did it though and somehow survived. At some point we got lost deep in the jungle at night and we only made it out due to those yells from the boat. Will never forget this one...truly amazing.
This is crazy. The confidence on this man to go hunting naked with an actual forgotten tribe. Its a completely different world and he's transitioned to it very respectfully and well.
he's stupid, and just put his whole system into permanent damaged. these tribes have multiple generations of eating literally shit on the ground, their metabolism is conditioned to this, this "european looking guy" is going to struggle like hell in the future. but hey, he got views on TH-cam, Yay !
@@VaughnRondo honestly no. I would have no idea what's going on, and I'd probably make mistakes while hunting that lower the tribes chance of getting something. Or I'd get lost in the dark and die there.
This was freaking nuts. Dude went from joking with people talking crap about him in different languages to going buck bare in the jungle and almost getting lost. Props.
I love that what use to take an entire National Geographic team to accomplish, can now be accomplished with a few guys with cameras and determination. I haven’t seen a documentary like this since I was a kid. I loved it. Thank you.
I've watched Xiaoma for many years. THIS IS PEAK XIAOMA! Hat's off to you Xiaoma/Ari for attempting to do this. You are very courageous. Not many people will have the guts to do what you did. Much respect to you and the crew!
This was amazing. Thank you for also being transparent about how much of a struggle this was for you - going barefoot, getting stung, being so tired. It definitely highlights how much resilience this tribe has to go through this daily to feed themselves and their families. Truly amazing way of life and a reality for them. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you! You did fantastic and were such a good sport about it.
Good Sport is an understatement! No man anywhere in the world likes to have his equipment joked about, even if it is too small for a pair of gnats to land on it side by side!
He could edit that circumcision stuff out, or the size jokes, but MAD RESPECT for being 100 percent real. I can't express my respect enough. JUST WOW ARI
Agreed. But to be fair to Ari, the Waorani people are well-adapted to their environment. From their skin to their specific muscle-tone, this isn't terrifying, painful, muscle-exhausting work for them. They are built like that through hundreds of generations, as well as simply living it every day. So, the tribe doesn't have a special amount of "resilience." It's like trying to flap your arms and fly, and appreciating how special birds are, because they can do it. It's just what they're adapted to do.
You are the only one in your crew who went naked with the tribe. Your genuine intention to be one of them was clear to them, and they have earned your trust and love.
I don't say this lightly This young man is becoming a world ambassador for culture and understanding! This episode was just amazing ! He rolled with a lot of adversity with both feet!
You literally risked your life to show the world the ways, culture, and language of one of the last human hunter-gatherer tribes on the planet. I am amazed and grateful and I'm so happy you made it okay. Thank you Xiaoma/Ari.
Man, National Geographic ain't got NOTHING compared to this guy! I so admire your commitment and determination to really live in someone's shoes. Very impressive indeed!🙌🙌👏👏👏👏 Keep up the amazing work that you do.
Learning how the tribe genuinely keeps themselves tucked away while they run through the forest was so fascinating. I would have never guessed that's what they did.
Please more of this. I really can't remember anybody else who's gone on such a 'anthropology adventure' while ALSO being able to communicate with the host people.
Ari genuinely has the biggest balls on the planet. Running naked through a jungle all day when you weren't brought up and raised doing so all your life is incredibly courageous, but keeping and using the clip of the Waorani making fun of your penis length in a video millions of people will watch is the highest level of bravery.
As an anthropology major studying and understanding the importance of fieldwork and what it means to immerse yourself in the culture, this is beautiful, and incredible example!! it’s so educational and informative. Thank you for keeping this alive and showing the world!! ethnocentrism is so damaging
I love how Ari started off from just walking around NYs china surprising them with mandarin, all the way to this documentary level type of content with these tribes and their rare languages. Its been cool watching him over the years. This isn't just a language channel but much more. The examples of cross cultural exchange shown in a lot his videos is what we need more in the world.
i hope its just the start. this is what life should be about. ari could be an exceptional foreign journalist as hes able to communicate with so many different cultures.
The most underrated scene starts @ 14:02. The way he meticulously sets up the dart to be loaded into the blow gun was absolutely first class. He did this in seconds without taking an eye off the monkey and hit it first try. It was so innate in his nature. It's undeniably certain that he is a master hunter. Thank you Xiaoma for showing us this kind of content.
@@Chicksquid wow! Have not seen that until now, he genuinelly broke that branch just with instinct, all that even preparing his next shot. Can't describe how incredible it is.
this is by far my favorite episode….The Waorani tribe were so generous to allow the rest of the world a glimpse of their lifestyles. Ari, you and your crew are real champions.
So this guy went from talking to an old lady in a chinese grocery store to a freaking naked hunt adventure in the amazonas??? What a GIGACHAD!! That was amazing!! 💪🏻
And this is everiday life for tribal people. You do this during day and in the evening having good times by the fire with your friends and family. Ok. Now back to reality, 9-5 job, sit in the traffic, trying to figure in a wallmart are those eggs free range and if they are what that actualy means.
Oh my god.. Ari.. this was NEXT LEVEL. You really took us ALL on a mind blowing adventure that most of us would never have the chance (or guts) to experience. This was truely an incredible experience.. You’ve really taken your channel to a whole new level with this one.. Incredible work 👏🔥💜
This is a real DOCUMENTARY! I've learned and understood more than I ever would from this video versus any standard documentaries on any streaming platforms.
It is impressive how these people are super adapted to the jungle, their bodies, their movements to avoid harm, their orientation methods, knowing what to eat, where to find it, they do not need anything from outside. They are made for the jungle. and the jungle made them.
And we all came from people like these ... no matter what culture. Europeans had to struggle against extreme cold in Winter and hunt to stay alive. It's amazing how we got here at all! We certainly didn't care about pronouns back then.
they may have made fun of your private parts, but you have bigger balls than any of us watching. WOW that was incredible. literally put your life on the line and they treated you all like family. incredible video brother
Incredible. You really put your body on the line out there in the jungle, and handled it incredibly well, where 99.9% of TH-camrs would have quit after that first search. And the footage you captured has to be of anthropological significance. Just amazing.
I love how you immerse yourself not just in the language, but in the culture. Trying different foods, products, services, but you outdid yourself this time by running through an Amazon jungle! This was an excellent video. It not only shows your command of their language but how far you're willing to go to learn the lifestyle. You're living an amazing life. Please keep the videos coming they are wonderful!
This is some of the most real and legit content I’ve seen in a LONG time. That takes some balls to just get naked and go hunting, and literally trust your life to these guys. That was hectic and nuts, and I LOVED it!
Xiaoma went from boy to man in one episode! Joking aside, that was insanely brave. I have always respected you and your message, but this takes it to a level 99.9% wouldn’t go. You know how to live, man. Thanks for showing us the beauty of life. Truly inspiring.
You are incredible. This was so refreshing to see someone just like us do something in this manner. You were authentic and vulnerable to the unknown but relished in every sting, bite,needle,heat of the humidity kind, and did it with grace. No pretention, no need to 'prove' yourself or conquer the environment like so many do. You immersed yourself in their ways and trusted them to have your back. I hope there us more footage because for me, this is the best thing you've ever done. Thanks for the ride.
FEARLESS! 🤯🙌🏻 Do you truly realize how mindblowing this was?!? Totally committed and went all-in no matter what all while filming! This was riveting and deserves an Emmy or something FFS! 🎉🎉🎉
Holy shit, Xiaoma! You've officially reached a new level on your channel. This was incredible! One of the most dangerous, yet thrilling agendas you've carried out. Glad you made it out. I'm sure the Waorani tribesmen were impressed and honored to have you there as well. Keep up the amazing content, man. Well done!
They made the jokes about your shaft, but you and your crew have the biggest spheres this side of the equator. To almost literally follow these people blindly in the jungle at nightfall takes a type of courage that *would* leave anyone happy to be alive. And yet these people do this regularly. Life is so diverse, and I'm so happy you're able to catch it on camera for all of us. So glad you made it back, hope you can take a break and enjoy being back with your family for a bit before your next big adventure.
This is extraordinary. I don't think I've ever got so much out of a free 18-minute TH-cam video. It brings so much to the table and checks so many boxes, I simply can't list them all. This is like golden-age BBC documentary or National Geographic calibre. Xiaoma is our guide into a totally different world. You manage to capture all the humble moments, banter and teamwork of a people at work and had the stones and humility to hang in there and get it. Thanks so much Team Xiaoma!
I am full Native American and I am very impressed with your experience. And honestly I don't think I could keep up either. The hunters are incredible and the people so honest and friendly. Everything possible must be done to preserve their way of life. And thank you for showing respect for their language and culture, the world needs more people like yourself.
@@playboix4322 I mean south america is basically just a mix between white, indigenous and black people, often mixed up together for so long nobody can tell whats what anymore. So, they just discriminate by skin tone
Major respect to the Waorani people. They need more love and respect in the world. Thanks Ari for giving us just a sliver of insight into what their lives are like.
My skin is extremely sensitive, I could never do this simply for the fact that I have sensory issues when things unexpectedly touch me and I'm afraid of contracting diseases from bloodthirsty parasites. This guy's courage is from another dimension that I cannot see.
I follow you completely except I'd be afraid of stepping on something. If I had a choice of naked with shoes OR fully clothed with bare feet, I'd pick naked with shoes .... no contest.
@@ak5659 We really should normalise being barefoot more. It's healthy for your feet. Wear shoes, or even socks, is unnatural and our feet are in constant confinement. Toes being pushed together constantly making us unable to move them freely. It's awful. I've started taking off my socks at home recently so my feet can be healthier.
I'm honestly so impressed and amazed by what this guy does!! He's the only person I've seen on recording that has actually IMMERSED himself into another culture and actually isn't afraid to try what the other culture does. And learning the language too is like the icing on the cake. The one thing I loved about this tribe is that the lady made a WHOLE functioning basket out of some jungle leaves, that is skill right there. I love that they just utilize the most out of the resources they have (obviously as they're a tribe). I really enjoyed this adventure you've shared with us and the experience seems amazing. Props to you Xiaoma
In a world of superficial or politically divisive social media you are a breath of fresh air. Your curiosity and openness to learn and experience our great world and unknown or rarely known cultures is unsurpassed. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us! ❤🙏🏻
You just toppled my meter for how much respect I could have for any youtuber, content creator. YOU, Xaioma!...have all my blessings. This adventure is over 9000!. I have never seen this type of commitment on any media. EVER. Bless you forever brother.
How is this not the most popular video on youtube ever? It's amazing! I'm so thankful to experience this vicariously, capturing world history now before it's forgotten.
These last two videos have been really cool to watch. It’s amazing how language lets you drop into a culture so much more fluidly. How receptive they are to having you there and teaching you just because that language barrier is gone so quickly. Very very cool videos .
You are above and beyond just a guy who has a gift for languages! You really have some cojones, Ari! I really could see you doing this around the world exploring these lesser known cultures and really bringing us on in immersion of it all! If I could x10 "Like" this one I would!
I'm so amazed by the kindness, hospitality, respect shown by Indigenous people. I wish so much Westerners could have such a spirit. Respect for Creator, humanity.
I must admit that I did not expect the level of care and courage to exceed all expectations from Ari, the crew, and the tribe. You're going above and beyond in taking the meaning of polyglot to the next level.
That's truly insane. You mixed every single aspect of content producing that makes a video good, that's really hard to come by, I really believe you should be top1 in this type of category. You learned the language, put yourself in a dangerous situation, immersed yourself in the culture by going on the naked hunt, and packaged it in a video that's extremely well put together in both editing and content level. Truly world class.
Learning well-known and widespread languages is not an easy task, but learning a language from one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes is amazing! I believe that this attitude of not only learning their language, but hunting with them, demonstrated a great respect for their culture and way of life. Make more videos like this if you can. Congratulations on your curiosity and perseverance in making this short documentary.
Dude you are one of the best reporters in the world in my eyes. Speaking their language allows for insights that no documentary could ever get, just sheer normal human interaction without barriers or censorship. I love it. Also love the fact that you turned from roaming different blocks of a single city to traveling the whole globe to some of the most remote places imaginable ! And all that just because of your love for food :D Best Channel on yt, period
I’d say his love for learning languages is a bigger driving force. The food is just the excuse to interact with different peoples. Just my take on it though🤷🏻♂️
From the concrete jungle to the amazon jungle -- I never thought I'd see the day. This is a different side of Ari, we got to witness something truly moving and life-altering. Thanks for capturing this journey, you guys!
This has to be one of my favorite videos from you. I kept and bred poison dart frogs for about 8 yrs and collect tropical plants for 40yrs now. You are truelly blessed to have not only witnessed the hunt, but to be part of it. Your very brave.
This has to be the best thing I've seen on TH-cam in a while. Watching this was an adventure and Xiaoma being able to communicate well with them really adds a whole 'nother level to this type of vlog/documentary you don't usually get to see. Really makes you see we're all just humans at the end of the day.
I never comment on stuff, but this was the most epic video I have watched in the history of youtube. You are so much tougher than you look at first glance, and so genuine and authentic in the meeting of these exciting cultures. Hats off to you, keep going, you are a legend already!
Jesus christ people, he's doing stuff like this for attention, this is the job of a TH-camr. Do whatever it takes to get attention, so the more dramaic it gets, the more people tune it because people waste their lives watching shit like this all day vs actually doing something with their own lives.
@@CompetitionSportsNetwork Don’t downplay the incredible amount of work involved in completing a trip that’s basically impossible to accomplish. They’ve spectacularly took on a monumental challenge and are LEGENDS for capturing real life and making history!!!
This is honestly awesome. It's wonderful how quickly they accept you because you've made the effort to speak their language and the communication barrier isn't there. What a daring adventure -- Good for you! Also, 5:40 is f-ing gold. The whole village watching while they try to deal with your wardrobe malfunction!
The Waorani Tribe took to you well, and I’m sure they went home to tell stories of how soft and useless the white man was with his gadgets and technology, yet brave and humble😌 Thank you for being open minded and appreciating other cultures. We’re all connected and experiencing this life together in 2023! 🌎🌍🌏
As a mom of a 40 yr old son, I was terrified for you throughout most of this video but the work you're doing to promote learning and protecting languages and cultures is so important
I’m from America but my ancestors and family are indigenous natives in Ecuador. It’s so fascinating seeing people who look like they could be my brothers live so freely and off of just the earths natural materials
Seeing how they brought you in and helped you with whatever you needed just shows how humble this tribe is. Love watching more natural documentaries like yours man!!!
This has to be the greatest TH-cam video I’ve ever seen. Would never have seen this and how their culture is without you being there doing this. So amazing!!!
Ari, that was an amazing video! You really put yourself out there for this one. I like that you dont try and put yourself above others, and that you let the people around you be themselves. It's the little things like how you are walking through the jungle completely naked and susceptible to all the dangers, and stopping to have someone help brush your feet off and show you where to walk. Those people know that you aren't In your element but the fact that You wanted to come along with them and do exactly as they do showed so much respect. I don't know why, but this video brought me to tears. It was such an awesome video.
This was an incredible step up in intensity from your other videos. You're going from polyglot in New York to world travelling documentarian, able to get a closer more intimate look at a lot of these cultures by speaking their language. Keep up the fantastic work!
These tribe men are so strong I'm blown away. Our expectation of how strength looks like is very different. These men literally sustain the tribe with their skills doing something close to impossible. This is how we used to be and how deep down we still are, in different forms. I personally am very fascinated by men's strength, especially when they use it to protect and provide. Top notch Ari, you were incredible.
I agree, our ancestors were far more powerful living in harsh conditions, I remember the strength of my great grandfather who lived on mountains with his tribe, they had incredible strength i once remember seeing them jumping 4-5 feet high climbing trees around my ethnic area
Sin duda, lo mejor que he visto nunca a un youtuber en internet. Estás poniendo el listón muy alto, y va a ser muy difícil que te superes a ti mismo. Enhorabuena.
Some massive respect for doing this mate, it is awesome to see there is people still out there living like this. Thank you for showing us this experience
I really appreciate how your videos motivate others to walk on someone else's shoes. To me there's no better way of showing appreciation and respect for others' cultures than speaking their language, eating their food and indulging in their customs. Great content!
One of the best Tribal experience videos on the internet. Someone who speaks their language, wears their attire and eats their food. Legend. Please do more
@@GianVersace If it doesn't kill them it makes them stronger. They go into normal civilisation who is in contact with his kind anyways so good logic. They aren't the uncontacted tribes bozo. The ones who go out and come back would also kill them lol

This is more authentic and closer to the actual life experience of tribes living in the Amazon than any BBC documentary I've seen. You should get an award for this stuff
There have been many documentaries done in the past. Others have gone to the Amazon and lived naked with the tribes. The young generation woukldnt know about them. Pretty sure it was the national geographic channel who aired most of them in the early 2000's

this is so amazing. it’s the first time I’ve actually felt this group of people being humanized- like, they’re not some distant species to be ogled at, but are actually humans who are relatable. they’re people who could be our friends and family. seriously next level content, I don’t think I could find this anywhere else. tysm 🙏
Did you watch Yasuni Man?
I'm glad this video helped you to expand your boundaries and get a better understanding of how close foreign societies actually are to our own society. But please be careful, the way you are framing your admiration implies that you are actually surprised to see how "humanized" indigenous people are, as if your were led to think before they were not.
@@DaBigPear sorry, I meant to refer to the idea of 'uncontacted tribes' rather than indigenous people in general. I used to hear news about how such modern-day uncontacted groups were incredibly hostile and should be avoided at all costs, etc., so I'm definitely glad that this video provided an inside look and expanded my knowledge :)
@@matthewgoetzka8855 I haven't, but I'll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion
@@rainspiritthey are not uncontacted though, and do a lot of media and legal work for the Amazon protection. He mentioned in a video that there are uncontacted tribes in the area, you definitely shouldn't mess with them (for their and your own sake).
Honestly, this video could've been a full blown 1,5 hour documentary and I would've watched it without even noticing. This was the most insightful and interesting view into the life of an amazon tribe I've ever seen. Even National Geographic couldn't pull sth like this off.
Thanks for that!
This guy has no ego, I love it. Just the fact that you weren't self-conscious at all and just threw yourself right into the experience is inspirational, let alone the incredible language skills. Thanks for giving us this experience Xiaoma, you're a unique dude in the best way possible!
That's it. That's the core of it.
my man is ballin'
Sure there is ego, but you don't let it lead you around by the nose, and prevent you from experiencing new things.
I had the experience of being tossed in a clothes dryer all stripped down after coming out of a pool with one of my friends at a pool party next thing we knew two of our friends shut the door and turned the dryer on.bothe of us were tumbling around in the nude.
So glad to have been a part of this. This was one of the most intense experiences of my life! We really did it though and somehow survived. At some point we got lost deep in the jungle at night and we only made it out due to those yells from the boat. Will never forget this one...truly amazing.
Why did your tribal friends leave you guys behind? Surely they knew you wouldn't be able to keep up easily.
RIP to whoever edited all of those blurs into the video :)
are you also jew??
@@youtubeuser206 Why do you ask? (Asking for a Jewish friend.)
Hi Nathan ...That truly was an experience of a lifetime...you guys are really brave.
This is crazy. The confidence on this man to go hunting naked with an actual forgotten tribe. Its a completely different world and he's transitioned to it very respectfully and well.
in front of people he knows too! no blur in real life
nice comment, except they are not a 'forgotten' tribe
he's stupid, and just put his whole system into permanent damaged.
these tribes have multiple generations of eating literally shit on the ground, their metabolism is conditioned to this, this "european looking guy" is going to struggle like hell in the future.
but hey, he got views on TH-cam, Yay !
@@VaughnRondo honestly no. I would have no idea what's going on, and I'd probably make mistakes while hunting that lower the tribes chance of getting something. Or I'd get lost in the dark and die there.
Forgotten tribe? They speak Spanish... wear modern clothes... have Chinese tattoos... very forgotten...
This was freaking nuts. Dude went from joking with people talking crap about him in different languages to going buck bare in the jungle and almost getting lost. Props.
Not possible to get lost with them.
I love that what use to take an entire National Geographic team to accomplish, can now be accomplished with a few guys with cameras and determination. I haven’t seen a documentary like this since I was a kid. I loved it. Thank you.
In all fairness, bro can speak like 7+ languages 😂 he can do this. If you or I tried we would not have the same opportunity.
I've watched Xiaoma for many years. THIS IS PEAK XIAOMA!
Hat's off to you Xiaoma/Ari for attempting to do this. You are very courageous. Not many people will have the guts to do what you did.
Much respect to you and the crew!
Yes this is prime Xiaoma! Man this video was beyond amazing, fun, entertaining,and exciting! Glad Ari tried something new
Agreed. I thought his last video was his best yet, until this one dropped. Taking his channel to the next level.
This was amazing. Thank you for also being transparent about how much of a struggle this was for you - going barefoot, getting stung, being so tired. It definitely highlights how much resilience this tribe has to go through this daily to feed themselves and their families. Truly amazing way of life and a reality for them. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you! You did fantastic and were such a good sport about it.
Good Sport is an understatement! No man anywhere in the world likes to have his equipment joked about, even if it is too small for a pair of gnats to land on it side by side!
He could edit that circumcision stuff out, or the size jokes, but MAD RESPECT for being 100 percent real. I can't express my respect enough. JUST WOW ARI
Agreed. But to be fair to Ari, the Waorani people are well-adapted to their environment. From their skin to their specific muscle-tone, this isn't terrifying, painful, muscle-exhausting work for them. They are built like that through hundreds of generations, as well as simply living it every day. So, the tribe doesn't have a special amount of "resilience." It's like trying to flap your arms and fly, and appreciating how special birds are, because they can do it. It's just what they're adapted to do.
@@brockryan3405 I would be scared to show my small peepee too.
@@MrTruckerf That's quite an exaggeration. Not everyone's that self-conscious about their dick size, plenty of people don't care.
You are the only one in your crew who went naked with the tribe. Your genuine intention to be one of them was clear to them, and they have earned your trust and love.
His crew is just there to record and probably make sure he’s not in any danger
Is there a TH-cam award for this guy? He’s done the most amazing thing I’ve seen on TH-cam
I was thinking the same thing
Absolutely! This man is very courageous for doing something like this.
I don't say this lightly This young man is becoming a world ambassador for culture and understanding! This episode was just amazing ! He rolled with a lot of adversity with both feet!
Ya I’m so impressed with Xiaoma he’s truly been leveled up to epic.
@@waldroj01 He rolled a lot more than just with adversity :'D repeatedly, over and over. It was cold.
he was made exactly for this. He should be given the golden cross, or made a Knight, or something!!!
I feel he should go on some talk shows.
Excellent!
You literally risked your life to show the world the ways, culture, and language of one of the last human hunter-gatherer tribes on the planet. I am amazed and grateful and I'm so happy you made it okay. Thank you Xiaoma/Ari.
Man, National Geographic ain't got NOTHING compared to this guy! I so admire your commitment and determination to really live in someone's shoes. Very impressive indeed!🙌🙌👏👏👏👏 Keep up the amazing work that you do.
Learning how the tribe genuinely keeps themselves tucked away while they run through the forest was so fascinating. I would have never guessed that's what they did.
i wanna start doing that before i go hiking
@@ninoalvarez7604 somehow i misread hiking as "killing" and i was rather confused
@@isatntt That's an impressive misread. Regardless, stay strapped my guy.
@@ninoalvarez7604 😂
"Tucked away"... I see what you did here!
Please more of this. I really can't remember anybody else who's gone on such a 'anthropology adventure' while ALSO being able to communicate with the host people.
So cool, i want more of this, they were impressed and happy 😁
💯💯💯
This is actually very dangerous for them. Foreigners can carry diseases unknown to tribes.
he's super smart i love him
Ari genuinely has the biggest balls on the planet. Running naked through a jungle all day when you weren't brought up and raised doing so all your life is incredibly courageous, but keeping and using the clip of the Waorani making fun of your penis length in a video millions of people will watch is the highest level of bravery.
He's probably a grower lmao
Frfr, my respect for him grew a lot seeing how he just rolled w all the small pp jokes
@@centralizedcore8690I don't think they were tbh lol
@@centralizedcore8690 The forskin doesn't shrink when it's cold. It's embarassing etiher way.
As an anthropology major studying and understanding the importance of fieldwork and what it means to immerse yourself in the culture, this is beautiful, and incredible example!! it’s so educational and informative. Thank you for keeping this alive and showing the world!! ethnocentrism is so damaging
I love that you don’t just learn their language, you immerse yourself in their culture 🥰
100% was going to say the same
I would be scared to show my small peepee too.
I love how Ari started off from just walking around NYs china surprising them with mandarin, all the way to this documentary level type of content with these tribes and their rare languages. Its been cool watching him over the years. This isn't just a language channel but much more. The examples of cross cultural exchange shown in a lot his videos is what we need more in the world.
Fr it makes me happy that he’s made it this far
i hope its just the start. this is what life should be about. ari could be an exceptional foreign journalist as hes able to communicate with so many different cultures.
The most underrated scene starts @ 14:02. The way he meticulously sets up the dart to be loaded into the blow gun was absolutely first class. He did this in seconds without taking an eye off the monkey and hit it first try. It was so innate in his nature. It's undeniably certain that he is a master hunter. Thank you Xiaoma for showing us this kind of content.
He also breaks the branch next to him as a marker! As to not get lost I mean and it was all just instinct, as soon as he felt the branch he broke it
@@Chicksquid wow! Have not seen that until now, he genuinelly broke that branch just with instinct, all that even preparing his next shot. Can't describe how incredible it is.
Indeed a MASTER HUNTER, I wouldn't like to mess with him.
@@Chicksquid to me it looked like he broke the branch for visibility
@@Lukas-ph9uf Yes I think it was distracting him and he broke it to get it out of the way.
this is by far my favorite episode….The Waorani tribe were so generous to allow the rest of the world a glimpse of their lifestyles. Ari, you and your crew are real champions.
So this guy went from talking to an old lady in a chinese grocery store to a freaking naked hunt adventure in the amazonas??? What a GIGACHAD!! That was amazing!! 💪🏻
We've been on a ton of journeys together, but I will absolutely never forget this one! What an experience, what a ride.
Man you kicked ass out there and held yer own, props to Ari for being brave enough to run naked though a friggin jungle 😂
Dude you were awesome, trudging through all that in basketball shorts !
@@Lomax81 when he goes into something. He goes in 100%
@@johndoethethirdjohnsoninspecto haha as a fat man, basketball shorts are basically all I own 😂
And this is everiday life for tribal people. You do this during day and in the evening having good times by the fire with your friends and family. Ok. Now back to reality, 9-5 job, sit in the traffic, trying to figure in a wallmart are those eggs free range and if they are what that actualy means.
Oh my god.. Ari.. this was NEXT LEVEL. You really took us ALL on a mind blowing adventure that most of us would never have the chance (or guts) to experience.
This was truely an incredible experience.. You’ve really taken your channel to a whole new level with this one.. Incredible work 👏🔥💜
This is far more metal than tripping on ayahuasca in the jungle lol.
This is a real DOCUMENTARY! I've learned and understood more than I ever would from this video versus any standard documentaries on any streaming platforms.
It is impressive how these people are super adapted to the jungle, their bodies, their movements to avoid harm, their orientation methods, knowing what to eat, where to find it, they do not need anything from outside. They are made for the jungle. and the jungle made them.
Our ancestors
Yeah I loved the way they moved through the jungle, so slick
And we all came from people like these ... no matter what culture. Europeans had to struggle against extreme cold in Winter and hunt to stay alive. It's amazing how we got here at all! We certainly didn't care about pronouns back then.
Write that last part down, it sounded cool!
Beautifully said.
they may have made fun of your private parts, but you have bigger balls than any of us watching. WOW that was incredible. literally put your life on the line and they treated you all like family. incredible video brother
Xiaoma is our new king of small penis 3-4 inch warriors of love!
Small Johnson, gigantic iron balls.
He's a grower not a shower
@@badcornflakes6374 new tshirt please Hung like Xiamung!
Incredible. You really put your body on the line out there in the jungle, and handled it incredibly well, where 99.9% of TH-camrs would have quit after that first search. And the footage you captured has to be of anthropological significance. Just amazing.
The high detail shot of the guy reloading his blowgun with expert skill and nailing the shot is pure gold.
Yeah I wouldn't make it to the jungle. There's no way I'm tying my dick into a knot.
I love how you immerse yourself not just in the language, but in the culture. Trying different foods, products, services, but you outdid yourself this time by running through an Amazon jungle! This was an excellent video. It not only shows your command of their language but how far you're willing to go to learn the lifestyle. You're living an amazing life. Please keep the videos coming they are wonderful!
This is some of the most real and legit content I’ve seen in a LONG time. That takes some balls to just get naked and go hunting, and literally trust your life to these guys. That was hectic and nuts, and I LOVED it!
Xiaoma went from boy to man in one episode! Joking aside, that was insanely brave. I have always respected you and your message, but this takes it to a level 99.9% wouldn’t go. You know how to live, man. Thanks for showing us the beauty of life. Truly inspiring.
Still equipped with a boy penis apparently
He's Xiaoman now
You are incredible. This was so refreshing to see someone just like us do something in this manner. You were authentic and vulnerable to the unknown but relished in every sting, bite,needle,heat of the humidity kind, and did it with grace. No pretention, no need to 'prove' yourself or conquer the environment like so many do. You immersed yourself in their ways and trusted them to have your back. I hope there us more footage because for me, this is the best thing you've ever done. Thanks for the ride.
I couldn't agree more
Fabulously stated.
FEARLESS! 🤯🙌🏻 Do you truly realize how mindblowing this was?!? Totally committed and went all-in no matter what all while filming! This was riveting and deserves an Emmy or something FFS! 🎉🎉🎉
Holy shit, Xiaoma! You've officially reached a new level on your channel. This was incredible! One of the most dangerous, yet thrilling agendas you've carried out. Glad you made it out. I'm sure the Waorani tribesmen were impressed and honored to have you there as well. Keep up the amazing content, man. Well done!
Of all the things he's done, this is definitely the craziest eh
They made the jokes about your shaft, but you and your crew have the biggest spheres this side of the equator. To almost literally follow these people blindly in the jungle at nightfall takes a type of courage that *would* leave anyone happy to be alive. And yet these people do this regularly. Life is so diverse, and I'm so happy you're able to catch it on camera for all of us. So glad you made it back, hope you can take a break and enjoy being back with your family for a bit before your next big adventure.
I like how your channel has branched out from linguistics into anthropology and working to preserve these threatened cultures.
This is extraordinary. I don't think I've ever got so much out of a free 18-minute TH-cam video. It brings so much to the table and checks so many boxes, I simply can't list them all. This is like golden-age BBC documentary or National Geographic calibre. Xiaoma is our guide into a totally different world. You manage to capture all the humble moments, banter and teamwork of a people at work and had the stones and humility to hang in there and get it. Thanks so much Team Xiaoma!
I am full Native American and I am very impressed with your experience. And honestly I don't think I could keep up either. The hunters are incredible and the people so honest and friendly. Everything possible must be done to preserve their way of life. And thank you for showing respect for their language and culture, the world needs more people like yourself.
What tribe are you if you don't mind me asking
@@jakesuper6447 I don't mind...Creek/ Sac & Fox.
@DeluxiousD1111 Cool! Been to Tama!
@Fotosaurus56 Yeah, it's crazy there's native american in South America still living their lives. It make me happy.
@@playboix4322 I mean south america is basically just a mix between white, indigenous and black people, often mixed up together for so long nobody can tell whats what anymore. So, they just discriminate by skin tone
Major respect to the Waorani people. They need more love and respect in the world. Thanks Ari for giving us just a sliver of insight into what their lives are like.
My skin is extremely sensitive, I could never do this simply for the fact that I have sensory issues when things unexpectedly touch me and I'm afraid of contracting diseases from bloodthirsty parasites. This guy's courage is from another dimension that I cannot see.
I follow you completely except I'd be afraid of stepping on something. If I had a choice of naked with shoes OR fully clothed with bare feet, I'd pick naked with shoes .... no contest.
@@ak5659 We really should normalise being barefoot more. It's healthy for your feet. Wear shoes, or even socks, is unnatural and our feet are in constant confinement. Toes being pushed together constantly making us unable to move them freely. It's awful. I've started taking off my socks at home recently so my feet can be healthier.
You weaken the tribe... Lol
I'm honestly so impressed and amazed by what this guy does!! He's the only person I've seen on recording that has actually IMMERSED himself into another culture and actually isn't afraid to try what the other culture does. And learning the language too is like the icing on the cake. The one thing I loved about this tribe is that the lady made a WHOLE functioning basket out of some jungle leaves, that is skill right there. I love that they just utilize the most out of the resources they have (obviously as they're a tribe). I really enjoyed this adventure you've shared with us and the experience seems amazing. Props to you Xiaoma
In a world of superficial or politically divisive social media you are a breath of fresh air. Your curiosity and openness to learn and experience our great world and unknown or rarely known cultures is unsurpassed. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us! ❤🙏🏻
You just toppled my meter for how much respect I could have for any youtuber, content creator. YOU, Xaioma!...have all my blessings. This adventure is over 9000!. I have never seen this type of commitment on any media. EVER. Bless you forever brother.
How is this not the most popular video on youtube ever? It's amazing! I'm so thankful to experience this vicariously, capturing world history now before it's forgotten.

Hi David ...That was truly an experience of a lifetime ....you all are really brave.
These last two videos have been really cool to watch. It’s amazing how language lets you drop into a culture so much more fluidly. How receptive they are to having you there and teaching you just because that language barrier is gone so quickly. Very very cool videos .
You are above and beyond just a guy who has a gift for languages! You really have some cojones, Ari! I really could see you doing this around the world exploring these lesser known cultures and really bringing us on in immersion of it all! If I could x10 "Like" this one I would!
He is really brave. I would never do what he did.
Just to help you, though, if you're trying to say balls, it's cojones
@@extraterestrial thanks! Fixed! Lol
you might not have their tough skin, but your mental fortitude, athleticism, and ability to adapt is what helps anyone survive
I'm so amazed by the kindness, hospitality, respect shown by Indigenous people. I wish so much Westerners could have such a spirit. Respect for Creator, humanity.
Yeah almost lost them in the jungle....😅
This guy went from talking to people in stores and on the street to hunting like a true man naked one of the best TH-camrs out for adults
I must admit that I did not expect the level of care and courage to exceed all expectations from Ari, the crew, and the tribe. You're going above and beyond in taking the meaning of polyglot to the next level.
Thank you for showing this Ecuatorian tribe to the world in a very respectful way
That's truly insane. You mixed every single aspect of content producing that makes a video good, that's really hard to come by, I really believe you should be top1 in this type of category. You learned the language, put yourself in a dangerous situation, immersed yourself in the culture by going on the naked hunt, and packaged it in a video that's extremely well put together in both editing and content level. Truly world class.
Learning well-known and widespread languages is not an easy task, but learning a language from one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes is amazing! I believe that this attitude of not only learning their language, but hunting with them, demonstrated a great respect for their culture and way of life. Make more videos like this if you can. Congratulations on your curiosity and perseverance in making this short documentary.
Ari, this is exceptional stuff man. You don't even see this level of film from National Geographic or similar networks. Well done.
I've always liked Ari. But now, I have mad respect for him too. What a lesson in having no fear.
Dude you are one of the best reporters in the world in my eyes. Speaking their language allows for insights that no documentary could ever get, just sheer normal human interaction without barriers or censorship. I love it. Also love the fact that you turned from roaming different blocks of a single city to traveling the whole globe to some of the most remote places imaginable !
And all that just because of your love for food :D
Best Channel on yt, period
I’d say his love for learning languages is a bigger driving force. The food is just the excuse to interact with different peoples. Just my take on it though🤷🏻♂️
From the concrete jungle to the amazon jungle -- I never thought I'd see the day. This is a different side of Ari, we got to witness something truly moving and life-altering. Thanks for capturing this journey, you guys!
If this video doesn't go viral, I don't know what will. This is amazing! Thank you for your courage and insight in this incredible tribe culture.
twerking video of Cardi B will but not this video, that's humanity
This man DESERVES his own adventure show. I salute this man for being original and humble.
This has to be one of my favorite videos from you. I kept and bred poison dart frogs for about 8 yrs and collect tropical plants for 40yrs now. You are truelly blessed to have not only witnessed the hunt, but to be part of it. Your very brave.
This has to be the best thing I've seen on TH-cam in a while. Watching this was an adventure and Xiaoma being able to communicate well with them really adds a whole 'nother level to this type of vlog/documentary you don't usually get to see. Really makes you see we're all just humans at the end of the day.
Holy cow!! I can NOT believe you did this. You’ve taken your life to so many incredible places but this is such a higher level. Mad props my man!
I never comment on stuff, but this was the most epic video I have watched in the history of youtube. You are so much tougher than you look at first glance, and so genuine and authentic in the meeting of these exciting cultures. Hats off to you, keep going, you are a legend already!
Jesus christ people, he's doing stuff like this for attention, this is the job of a TH-camr. Do whatever it takes to get attention, so the more dramaic it gets, the more people tune it because people waste their lives watching shit like this all day vs actually doing something with their own lives.
@@CompetitionSportsNetworkdramaic
@@CompetitionSportsNetwork lol, not sure if he knows the amazon floor has venomous snakes
@@CompetitionSportsNetwork Don’t downplay the incredible amount of work involved in completing a trip that’s basically impossible to accomplish. They’ve spectacularly took on a monumental challenge and are LEGENDS for capturing real life and making history!!!
This is honestly awesome. It's wonderful how quickly they accept you because you've made the effort to speak their language and the communication barrier isn't there. What a daring adventure -- Good for you! Also, 5:40 is f-ing gold. The whole village watching while they try to deal with your wardrobe malfunction!
The Waorani Tribe took to you well, and I’m sure they went home to tell stories of how soft and useless the white man was with his gadgets and technology, yet brave and humble😌 Thank you for being open minded and appreciating other cultures. We’re all connected and experiencing this life together in 2023! 🌎🌍🌏
As a mom of a 40 yr old son, I was terrified for you throughout most of this video but the work you're doing to promote learning and protecting languages and cultures is so important
I’m from America but my ancestors and family are indigenous natives in Ecuador. It’s so fascinating seeing people who look like they could be my brothers live so freely and off of just the earths natural materials
Seeing how they brought you in and helped you with whatever you needed just shows how humble this tribe is. Love watching more natural documentaries like yours man!!!
This has to be the greatest TH-cam video I’ve ever seen. Would never have seen this and how their culture is without you being there doing this. So amazing!!!
Ari, that was an amazing video! You really put yourself out there for this one. I like that you dont try and put yourself above others, and that you let the people around you be themselves. It's the little things like how you are walking through the jungle completely naked and susceptible to all the dangers, and stopping to have someone help brush your feet off and show you where to walk. Those people know that you aren't In your element but the fact that You wanted to come along with them and do exactly as they do showed so much respect. I don't know why, but this video brought me to tears. It was such an awesome video.
Xiaoman and his team really deserve a recognition for this! His videos going through the Amazon should be shown on National Geographic! Kudos! 👏😀
This was an incredible step up in intensity from your other videos. You're going from polyglot in New York to world travelling documentarian, able to get a closer more intimate look at a lot of these cultures by speaking their language. Keep up the fantastic work!
These tribe men are so strong I'm blown away. Our expectation of how strength looks like is very different. These men literally sustain the tribe with their skills doing something close to impossible. This is how we used to be and how deep down we still are, in different forms. I personally am very fascinated by men's strength, especially when they use it to protect and provide. Top notch Ari, you were incredible.
I agree, our ancestors were far more powerful living in harsh conditions, I remember the strength of my great grandfather who lived on mountains with his tribe, they had incredible strength i once remember seeing them jumping 4-5 feet high climbing trees around my ethnic area
Sin duda, lo mejor que he visto nunca a un youtuber en internet. Estás poniendo el listón muy alto, y va a ser muy difícil que te superes a ti mismo. Enhorabuena.
I would be scared to show my small peepee too.
Some massive respect for doing this mate, it is awesome to see there is people still out there living like this. Thank you for showing us this experience
I really appreciate how your videos motivate others to walk on someone else's shoes. To me there's no better way of showing appreciation and respect for others' cultures than speaking their language, eating their food and indulging in their customs. Great content!
One of the best Tribal experience videos on the internet. Someone who speaks their language, wears their attire and eats their food.
Legend. Please do more
