How To Beat ISOLATION In MINE 

Have a damn good day

Sniper: Blinks Cinema Summary: Thats a wrong move, I like to see my enemies at all times so I would train my eyes with lemon juice and keep them open at all times using eye drops.

"His water bladder is empty" WHO THE SHIT ARRANGED THIS MISSION? No evac strategy No water bladder No working GPS I'm surprised they remembered to give him bullets

When his buddy's body wound up next to him after the sand storm he could have tried to position his dead body directly beneath his and then quickly taken his foot off the mine and letting the body absorb the explosion. When his friend stepped directly on one it only mangled his legs so they arent incredibly powerful so this should allow him to only take minimal damage.

I lost a friend in combat to a landmine. This movie keeps you on edge, just like the soldiers marching through deserts at this very moment. I'm glad it brings awareness to the fact that us as humanity need to stop our shit and be good to eachother for once.

You know, the biggest twist is the fact that it wasn't even an active land mine at the end, imagine the overwhelming feeling of relief the soldier got.

“He’s now ready to take his next step, trading in a landmine in the desert for a ticking time bomb of a bad marriage” *You always seem to add humor to every dark/scary situation, and I absolutely love it*

"How to beat Mine" 1. Don't be a solider in the first place 2. Profit

Anyone else sometimes binge watch these videos and get tired of concluding “be a super genius in all things known to man”

so no one’s gonna talk about how he still managed to snipe 2 enemies dead while being extremely exhausted and probably on the brink of passing out or even dying?? That’s hella impressive

Fear is the mind-killer. I actually realized when you said the man told him to free himself, is when I knew he wasn't on an active mine.

This was the most anxiety inducing video you have done so far bro...glad to see my man's make it out alive

This is one of the most unique ones I saw a recap on, and a how to survive of this was very interesting

One thing you missed: Snipers are also trained to always lens cap their sniper scope before pulling off the weapon. You are trained to do this, so that if your scope ever gives of a glint, it is only if the enemy is look directly at you. This was poor thinking and lack of discipline on the soldiers part.

Imagine having the final scene of the proposal where he drops on his knee but it is just a hallucination and he wakes up on the mine again

It's also worth noting that the locals in the Sahara have a very low chance of actually helping an American solider. We're allies with Morocco and are even the only Western Nation in the world that supports their territorial claims in Western Sahara. Hungary and Romania also both support Moroccan claims but calling them Western is kinda complicated.

man i love ur vids😁 have a blessed week

I guess you could say that these soildiers should have been "mineful" of where they should step.

1- Actual snipers know scopes flash, so they shield them from the sun. Since the freaking 30s, lol. 2- sand dunes would be the least dangerous type of terrain to use landmines in, since nothing focuses or contains the blast, spreading the damage out. 3- Landmines in sand dunes would be easier to dig out or tilt in a different direction. 4- the spotter's body, pack, or his own pack would be enough to cut the shrapnel risk to almost nothing. A ribcage in between you and a landmine is almost as good as a shield. This movie should have been called "Contrivance in the Desert"

He could dig out the land mine to inspect it a bit. He could also tie the landmine around the boot and take the boot off.

If he wasn't sure about his pack and gear being heavy enough to keep the magic mine from exploding or thought he'd perish without them, I feel like his friend's corpse would've probably been sufficient. Macabre, maybe, but he isn't using it anymore

This man is teaching us all for the future and giving us great life lessons, and I know it’s all in the movies but if I ever come to a position like this then I know who to trust

i’m guessing that the guy who tried to help him was telling him the “landmine” he was standing on was actually a tin can considering it didn’t blow up after all the pressure changes and 52 hours

I really enjoyed the video, great job as always, though from a technical standpoint... it feels like the audio is around 10-15 seconds behind the visuals later on in the video? Take 15:26 for instance, you're talking about him shooting to scare off the wild dogs while the footage for that is shown at 15:16 (that's one of the clearer examples, but it is everywhere). Again, it was a great video regardless and it doesn't really take away much, but I wondered whether something got messed up during editing. Cheers!

omg i just LOVE your videooos

Time Traveler: *kicks a rock* The timeline: Sniper: *shoots the target* *End Credits*

Fun-Fact: All Pressure activated mines explode the moment you step on them. Its actually a simple process. Once someone or something puts enough pressure or weight onto the mine, it triggeres the mechanism and that triggers the explosive. Mines that only activate once stepped on, and then explode when pressure releases makes no sense and would be complicated to make.

I love this channels energy.

I’ve seen this before but you explained much better

My favorite thing about these videos is when at the end he says "How would you beat..?" I wouldn't. I would die. End of story.

Some landmines have a delay but if you apply to long pressure on them they also explode. Also they are most likely Soviet style and they have the tendency to be very unpredictable and can even go of on their own, if they are left in the ground for long.

Stopped watching for a couple months but glad I can pick it back up and watch

I was wondering the whole film if the landmine was a dud or something. Thanks as always for a really interesting video!

My dad once went into a minefield by accident! Granted, all the mines were probably too old to explode at all anyway, but there was still a chance. Since it was an Old minefield, some of the mines had already exploded forever ago, so he got out by walking in the craters of already exploded mines. You can't explode something twice : ) do not walk in minefields even old ones 👍

"If you just stepped on a landmine, what would you do?" Swear loudly and say goodbye to life.

I was in military too and we watch this movie with our drill sergeant and he was f....ng disappointed and he gave us 4 rules if this thing happened to us. 1st rule: don't be dumb 2nd rule: remember your training as a soldier 3rd rule: dig it to make sure it was a land mine or just a dog poop 4th: remember the 1st rule

Thanks to you I never have to sit through some of these movies.

Although you *are* correct about land mines activating instantly, there was a type of trap in WW2 for stairs that when you step on a stair it activates, and when you take your foot off it, it explodes, it is impossible to see it as the click could be mistaken as a creak.

The berber said he needs to "move on or he'll be stuck forever", he was actually talking about the tin cans placed in the sand as "mines". He should've been more clear (and not walked away immediately). No wonder he said that. It doesn't change the fact that they're still mines around AND you can't tell if they're mines or tin cans. I realized how weird it is that this berber didn't tell Mike the SECOND TIME when he showed up again that he needs to "move on" or just straight-up tell him he's (probably) on a tin can.

You have the best advice indeed to do that with your ideas are the best advice indeed good luck

thank you for this, Mine is now on my dont bother wasting my time to watch, movie list.

Imagine being a soldier, planning for a mission for a few months and then end up dying, not because of failing the mission, but because you didn’t listen to your squad mate after he said “There are landmines.” And calling him fucking paranoid as if they didn’t just get hit with *an actual fucking sign from the gods* that there are mines.

The idea that the soldiers wouldn't have any understanding of their position because they don't have a digital gps is so hilarious

16:15 I just had a thought… like you said, anti-personnel mines are triggered instantly upon contact. So since this mine hasn’t gone off, and since there’s a non-zero chance of a mine malfunctioning (even if it’s a low chance), the Berber keeps telling him to move on because it’s already clear the landmine he’s standing on is a dud- it didn’t go off when he stepped on it, so it’s not going to go off because it’s broken. So the Berber keeps telling him to just fkin walk out already and then keeps showing him the path to take. But the soldier is so afraid of the big scary mine that’ll surely explode if he steps off it, that he’s not understanding the fairly direct message the man is saying to him. EDIT: yeh I was mostly right 🤣 it wasn’t broken, just wasn’t even a mine at all.

"If you just stepped on a landmine in the desert and one wrong step can blow you to pieces, what do you do? " me: DIE

This video in particular had a lot of good insight on survival in the desert. People often wonder why desert travelers are wearing so much clothing and all that and they don't realize that it gets freezing cold at night. Not to mention, the layers provide protection against the sun and sand. And the water loss was such a great bit of knowledge, losing water and dehydrating quicker.

Loved how you debunk most movie tropes... I am the one who still believe that kind of landmine existed until u debunk it lol

I haven't watched that yet but, that made me cry-

**RETROACTIVE SPOILER WARNING IN EFFECT: PROCEED WITH CAUTION** It is actually a relief to know that he was actually standing on a tin can rather than an actual mine. At first I thought it was a mine made specifically for the plot and make the rest of the field a veritable killzone

WOW!! Not another "stepped on a land mine; hear a "click"; and do not move" movie. As a former Combat Engineer for 20 years that delt with land mines all the time, this movie just .... Since the area in question was most likely scattered with CONVENTIONAL land mines, this sniper team should have been more aware of their immediate surroundings. At NO time in my 20 years in military handling/training/disarming land mines or placing/removing mine fields did we ever train for this type of scenario!!! NEVER ever happened!!! You stepped on a land mine - BOOM - see ya, don't want to be ya!!! You have a better chance of surviving this scenario IF you stepped on an ANTI-TANK mine, but definitely NOT an ANTI-PERSONNEL mine. Before they deployed to whatever country they were in, this sniper team would have received training on the types of threats to be expected - especially land mines AND mine field MARKINGS. NOT all mine fields are going to be marked properly, but these guys had some type of divine intervention when that mine marking sign landed at their feet. Looks like this area most likely had conventional ANTI-PERSONNEL land mines (the types you step on and go BOOM almost IMMEDIATELY) or ANTI-TANK land mines (vehicles drive over and go BOOM). True - there are some types of anti-personnel mines that have a certain amount of delay like a BOUNDING mine which will bound into the air a certain distance after someone steps on it or triggers a trip wire. The bounding mine will usually go roughly hip-high then explode, thus sending thousands of tiny beads about the size of BBs 360* and killing/maiming anyone/thing in its kill zone. Also, BOOBY TRAPS and/or ANTI-HANDLING DEVICES can be placed on any land mine thus giving a few extra seconds before activation IF disturbed. Anti-tank mines need a certain amount of WEIGHT on them in order to activate, usually the WEIGHT of a wheeled vehicle or tank. Now, some anti-tank mines can be activated by the use of a TILT ROD - a fiberglass rod that is screwed into the top of the anti-tank mine's fuse that will activate the mine IF it is tilted a certain number of degrees, thus killing a vehicle without that vehicle actually running over said mine. Now that tilt rod can also be tilted in high winds, thus exploding the mine without killing anything - one of the primary reasons why US military got rid of them in 1980s. Also, anti-tank mines can have a pneumatic hose screwed into the fuse and stretched out a few feet thus increasing the likely hood that a vehicle will run over that hose; forcing air into the fuse well; and activating the mine. US military had gotten away for those as well way back in the 1980s. Soviet style mines had the same capabilities. Now since this sniper stepped on a mine, heard a "click" (which he was lucky to survive without soiling himself), and the mine did NOT automatically explode, chances were that he stepped on an anti-tank mine OR a defective mine of any sort. Seems that the area that he was in had Soviet style land mines AND those mines were most likely in place for a very long time. I was stationed in South Korea in early 1990s and we were told that there are land mines of all sorts still in place along the North/South border since the 1950s!! Most likely true which would mean that ain't nobody going to remove those mines for they would have become way too unstable (they may explode; they may not explode; or they may sort of explode meaning that the explosive charge could be too far deteriorated to do what it is supposed to do properly). Anyway, since the land mine did not explode after the sniper stepped on it, I think that he did the correct thing by kneeling down to determine type of land mine he stepped on. IF he discovered that it was an anti-tank mine, he most likely could have just taken his foot off it (anti-tank mines need a certain amount of weight/pressure in order for them to activate). If it was discovered to have been an anti-personnel mine, he could have deduced that it was most likely a dud (something that should have been taught to him before his deployment and re-inforced throughout time in country) and gone about his business. HOWEVER, since those land mines were most likely in place for quite a few years and most likely have become unstable, he probably did the right thing by staying in place for a few hours. Now for the rest of the movie...well makes good DRAMA for a movie. Again, 20 years in military handling this stuff and NEVER trained for nor heard about this scenario. EVERYTHING that I typed was what I experienced from 1981-2001, so DO NOT KNOW how modern military trains for a scenario like this - maybe they do, maybe they do not, but yeah, does make for a good movie. You will see a scenario similar like this in the movie "Kelly's Heroes" & "The Boys in Company C", and a few other movies.

Great video great quality 10/10

Army soldier: I have trained my entire life to survive at any condition.... Cinema summary and nerd explains: pffft amateurs 😏😏

this movie has one of the simplest story yet the way it's executed is so well

The protagonist: *Breathes* Cinema summary: *as YOU can SEE here this guy is making a HUGE mistake*

Thanks, it worked for me!

This man is a Legend 🏆

Dude i've never even heard of "mine". Really excited to see what i'll need to do to survive

Man the moment i ran out of water i wouldve tried to jump away with hope lmao, but i 100% would’ve been left the mine when the black man stood just inches from a “mine” that could blow up… no one who’s native to a area like this would take such a risk just to flex some wisdom, it’d literally be the opposite of wise actually

morocco's mines are located only at the border mainly at south along the great sand wall that was built to keep algerian's militia(polisario) from entry and so far it's working effectively . : )

Please cover the ritual netflix horror movie. I just watched it yesterday., it was sooo good and I cant help but think about your channel while watching it. The way the movies breaks the genre by using a god/demi god as the monster instead of a demon/ghost is really good.

I’d just step off it. Landmines don’t go click and then explode when you step off. If I suspected it was one of the very few models that did explode after being stepped off, then I’d just brush away the sand and see if there’s any way to defuse it or keep the thing depressed

I would think the soldiers should already know techniques to try to survive a landmine.

Perfect ad placement, didnt feel like an interruption

Thank you... I've just watched the synopsis of the movie via this video... I don't need to ever see this movie at all... Clearly that soldier hadn't seen a single Hollywood war movie, cause he would've known about "clicking" landmines, aren't... Clearly it didn't go places cause I haven heard this one till now...

If you wanna survive any traps from the "Mine", then you always prepare the Creative Mode whenever you need.

This movie was absolutely amazing. Truely this movie showed one of the most dangerous enviroment to survive in and how powerful your mind can be with you, or against you. The whole time he's on a false mine filled with a toy soldier😭

like videos man its like free movie to watch

I love these

Always a good day when Cinema Summary uploads

Getting married or not, if you're my target im pulling the trigger. Also odd that the soldiers had zero clue about their surroundings or environments. Soldiers are always briefed on their environment and surroundings. Added to that snipers are often highly trained and skilled soldiers with high provision in survival, stealth and mental fortitude. They wouldnt be laughing off the idea of a mine field nor joking around about their situation after that whole debacle.

The entire movie hinges on the glair from the scope... this would never happen as you place pantihose over the front element held in place with zip tie or rubber band. There also end caps that do the same... hide any potential glair.

That last line was savage

His foot is wider than the tin can he was standing on. So you're telling me he didn't even try removing the sand around the "mine" or try feeling around his foot to be sure it was a mine.

These videos are pure talent! The way you explain these movies is just wonderful! I can go from not even knowing the movie to loving it from watching your video! Have a damn good day!

MY RU-vid CLOSED AS YOU SAID THE CONNECTION CUTS OFF, What a awesome coincodence!

Every cinema summary video has one word that is used in every video "Okay"

this guys sense of humour plus amazing advice makes the perfect content!!

I really appreciate how hard he works for these videos, The best channel that talks about movies i have seen so far ❤️

sorry you had to do so much work censoring blood for RU-vid! this is a very good essay and I can really feel the effort you put in explaining the scenarios and alternative solutions and intel/background information! could've just put all the work into that stuff-- the good stuff! good stuff, thank you! I watched this movie before watching your essay to avoid spoilers and am really appreciating the level of thought you put into it. I didn't pick up on the fact that he has to stay awake the whole time so he doesn't fall off the mine through whole movie! good catch-- no pun intended!

Damn, gained lots of knowledge while watching this.

This guy is a legend even if it was just a movie sitting there for the hours it would have taken to make the shots has to be super hard and boring

Man can we appreciate how long these videos take to make they are so well done

Love your endusiasm

Pressure Release Mines are unrealistic but would be a great halting tool to evacuate your own platoon. Imagine a scenario where an order was given for an army to abandon an outpost while an enemy platoon is rapidly surrounding it. If they used pressure release instead of instant. They would basically make an inegotiable hostage situation. Their only choice is to sacrifice their comrade to proceed with the mission or to bring in a bomb defusal expert to try to save the single soldier and giving your army more time to get away. It would be an amazing insurgent tool

This is a really amazing movie with a good message, but it still bothers me that he had to stand on the mine for that long when they are typically made to explode right away. If you think about it, why would the enemy make a mine that gives you the leeway to be able to try and disarm/get out of it after making contact?

Thank you for this, I’ve been standing on a mine for 1 night now and this really helps!

27:57 Holy shit Cinema Summary! The man survives all that and you just murder him at the end with that line! Damn.

i learned more survival skills from this one video than i have ever learned in school that should say something.

0:18 “these soldiers” Every Marine in a 200 mile radius: *Unadulterated Rage*

When a local gets close enough to touch you there is a big chance that you aren't on a mine

I love this💖

the end killed me good one, lmfao 😂😂😂

Bro the editing that goes into these videos is insane, I've been watching your content for over a year now and it never drops off love you man :)

These videos are always entertaining and I appreciate you for working hard on these videos, keep up the good work 👍

It's gotten to the point where I've come to watching one of these videos a day in order to gleam some assorted survival tips that I might have missed otherwise - this man gives an amount of basic, but very fundamental pieces of advice to survive.

Great video Sir

It's never great when a movie/TV show requires a lot of stupidity to keep the story moving. "We've trained for this for months and to dehumanize the enemy. Although, I'd feel bad if I ruined what might be the happiest day of his life." Sure... Also, the military spends ridiculous amounts of money to send personnel out with the best equipment possible...except for these two guys, evidently.

my first thought would be to check the landmine and attach something to it to keep it weighed down, and if you did check it you would’ve noticed it

Ooooooooooooh, I can't wait to show this video to my retired military dad!

Hope you have a good day man
