7 True Scary VACATION Stories | VOL 3 

When grabbed, peel back the pinky of the hand. Show your daughters this method. The hand will automatically release its grip. Practice!

I've posted this same thing elsewhere but I remember hearing from a self-defense instructor that if calling out for help is the only option then 'help' (see Kitty Genovese) or 'rape' or 'murder' are not the best words to attract a crowd. No word works better than 'fire!'. Not many people will think 'Someone else will deal with it' and roll over and go back to sleep if they think a raging out of control fire is anywhere near them. Apologies to anyone who's already read this bit of advice but if it ends up helping even one person I'm glad I reposted it.

That last story is tragic. It really just shows you how doing 1 simple thing can be life saving.

I love the thing with the flamingo inner tube. He’s starting to creep me out after staring at him for thirty minutes though. Haha

story 3 reminds me of our families terrible vacation in Florida.first day there my mom fell down some stairs and broke her ribs. she spent the rest of our vacation in the hospital

I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. However when you said a truck piled high with junk my first thought was to get at least 6 car lengths behind him in case some junk fell out and safety for a quick stop. Again truly sorry for your loss. So glad your mum found a great guy you all like. Seems hard to do Reading abt all the step parents.

The last story breaks my heart. This is why driving terrifies me

23:00 now I'm wanting to know what she brought up to "make Mark livid." 😆😆😆 Anyone else curious now?

Was literally thinking about what to watch on RU-vid the same second I got this notification

Always happy to have such a reliable source of scary stories to listen to!! Great work

7:12 I would never be caught dead going to a log cabin by myself knowing that it was iscolated from emergency services, also knowing that there is no electricity to call for help would give me anxiety.

I checked Walmart today, AND THEY’RE STARTING TO PUT OUT HALLOWEEN STUFF EEEEIIIIKKKK IM SO READY👹

Love you ty for tucking me in every night

Another reminder for me to make better content and NOT go on vacation. Thanks Joel.

The tree climbing story where the guy fell, it reminds me of when I was 12 or 13. I was over at my godmother's house and the girl across the street, Nicole, used to come over and play with me. My godmother had this old hose that was one of those flat hoses that click in to another hose to lengthen it, not alike, but the same concept of a seatbelt. This gave me an idea. I climbed up on the magnolia tree that was taller than my godmother's tri-level house. I found a decent sized branch and threw the hose over. I managed to configure it into a harness around my legs and then around my waist and it was perfect. When Nicole came over, I decided to show her. We both climbed up the tree and when we got to the predetermined branch, she asked if I would hold her glasses, to which I obliged. The hose was fastened to the branch above the one we were standing on. I went ahead and started wrapping the hose around her and finally got it just right. -click- and the hose was connected. Approximately 3-5 seconds later I heard another noise, but this time it was a crack. I was 15 ft in the air, but not for long. The harness held her securely in place as predicted; so she was safe. Ad I came down, I was determined to keep her glasses from breaking so I held them in my right hand as I made the fast descent and held it above my head. When I landed it was with a squat and my left hand on the ground. I immediately felt horrible pain in my wrist and looked down to see my hand bent back far further than it should be. I thought that maybe I had dislocated it so in my panic I put it against my chest and pushed it back to its normal position. Thankfully, my adrenaline was coursing and I couldn't feel a thing besides the initial break. When I got to the hospital and did x-rays, the doctor told me that it was just a hairline fracture and I was lucky that they didn't have to set the bone. I then told him about the positioning of my hand and how I put it to my chest and pushed it back into place. The doctor looked amazed and said "Well you got the hard part out of the way yourself didn't you?" As I had never broken a bone before I didn't know that it had to be set back into position. In the end I'd wear a cast for 6 weeks and it still gives me a little problem every now and then, but I lived and the glasses didn't break either! 🤣😂😆😁😊

These stories were really great, amazing authors that lived through an experience and want to impart that knowledge to help someone else, beautiful on them. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Great video!

We had a tire swing in our backyard on the farm. My dad stood in the bucket of our Oliver 88 loader tractor to hang it. We had many hours of fun on it. Something that I'll never forget... my sister was mowing near the swing with our dangerous Mozall walk behind when we heard her scream. She had hit some #9 wire and a 5" chunk went through her shoe and through her foot, sticking out of both ends. Why that wire was there right next to the house is a mystery. Off to town to the doctor. Another thing I won't forget happened to me in the late 1960's. My dad had bought an old barn on auction that we deconstructed to use the lumber for other projects. The roof ends were only about 8 feet from the ground. Dumb kid that I was, I jumped off and promptly landed on a board with a long nail sticking up. It went through my boot, through my arch and through the top of my boot. Ow. LOL, the things kids do to get out of working.

Watching this a day before I go camp out at a Rob zombie concert

I'm literally just about to leave a for a trip to Vietnam. Perfect timing :)

Chuckle moment at 5:45. “I wouldn’t drink alone with men until my husband and I were married. “ I know how its meant but it got me to chuckle.

The thumbnail is perfect 😁😅😂

Good stories

Keep up the good work mate

Didn’t know you needed training in order to know you should bring food and water when you go hiking

Listened 7/8/22 11:32AM 🇬🇧

not me listening to this the day before going on holiday 🥲

Ok ok I'm getting my seat belt fixed now. 😳

Nothing like a bit of let’s read

1. I'm really glad the guy in the last story came out and said it because I was going to anyway- his father was so utterly selfish in not wearing a seatbelt. I can't imagine letting ego or a slight amount of discomfort cause me to forgo something that is often literally the difference between life and death, especially if I had kids depending on me. I was in one major car accident and my seatbelt is the only reason I'm alive. The car looked like a crushed ball of tinfoil. And in the case of the story, the fact that everyone else was OK somehow makes the story even more upsetting/frustrating; they all got to leave the hospital the next day while the dad died all because of one stupid decision. 2. Who the hell goes hiking WITHOUT A WATER BOTTLE?!

ooo, a kid fell out of a tree while kn vacation. so scaryyy. a woman got lost for a night with her boyfriend and they broke up afterwards.. terrifying!!!

Very interesting stories. As always lovingly read by LR. Have the best Friday and the most wonderful weekend ever. TTFN smooches 💋

Hmmm... very interesting :o

Interesting

Hey Joel ,My son’s fishing trip went well this morning Brandon enjoyed himself It made me happy to see my boy smiling. Right now I’m sitting on my porch looking at my 200 acres of my property Stephanie and Brandon are spending time together. Joel you and I have an amazing friendship and I hope you have a wonderful evening and looking forward to your next stream.

story 4 is similar to the one I've seen in a documentary, where a couple left by their cable car and tour guide when they decided to go find a waterfall in a mountain. They were lightly dress, didn't bring any water and only had a digital camera with them. They even found a body of a dead man who have been reported missing for a long time while in the process of leaving the mountain. They did end up getting rescued when one of them decided to burn the bushes around them (they got the lighter from the dead man backpack) thus signalling their rescuer of their location. Luckily when they were lost, it was not during winter/rainy season. But just like this couple, they did end up breaking up.

♡♡♡

I LOVE YOU

🖤

Two more weeks and I get my new badge. *rubbing hands together* Like Flossy Carter says "my Birdman hands" 😂

💚💚💚💙💙💙

Hiya from 2024! Love you RU-vidJoel! ❤ 👍🤘Thank you! Thank you! 💚🦋💚

😊😊

HI MR H 🐈‍⬛

🤟

👌👍🌻

As someone who lives in Corpus, sounds like Corpus

Story 3. Cops show up to say your daughter discovered a dead body at the beach where your other child and wife are too. It takes you 30 minutes to get dressed to go down there? Did you put on a tuxedo?

👻👻👻

Yeah I love when I get a new vid Joel thinks it’s 12pm hear in the uk I can’t sleep unless I listen to let’s read I’ve tried so many other channels but Joel is my fave nite guys xx

40:28

Really? No one? /I/ have to be the one to make this joke? *sigh* *deep breath* Seems like Story 4 OP never listened to TLC. Should have just stuck to the rivers and the lakes they were used to...

Just wanna point out that shivering does technically keep you alive for the sake of the person in story 4

36:07
