That was really great. Never watched your videos before - really enjoyed this story.

@@LJMCL333 Thanks for watching! My other videos are lots of fun and goofy and I sing dumb songs :)

Ryan Van Duzer I would if you would! Your ‘skill set’ is a pretty valuable skill in order to have team success!

Very nice this video! Very good group! Congratulations!👏🙏

Mad Lib I agree!

Yeah..

No i watched this series. The guys all got super competitive anyway, esp. with the girls.

roach he said in the video that the producers tried to stir up drama where there wasn’t any just for the tv aspect..might’ve been that

Mad Lib girl hello aap kahan ke Rahane Wale

Oh man we dreamed about potato chips out there every 1.7 seconds

Me as I eat a bag of beef jerky while watching lol

Emily Durkee I ate French toast sticks

Sunflower seeds here

Omg their starving! Hold my ice cream...

Of course he was lmao

Y e p

the hype man is the most important, chuck d wouldn't be half as famous without flavor flav, but flavor flav would be dead without chuck d

yeah! lol

@@tylernilson7021 diddy to biggie type shit ha! Lil' Jon & the eastside boys energy

haha

Benjamin Tassone we had a great crew out there, I felt very fortunate

Yea

Sensible people but what a great part of the team he was! Invaluable really.

Ryan was an absolutely invaluable member of that team! Every team needs lightness, positivity and humour. I work a job that’s been draining my soul for 4 1/2 years now- and it’s not as physically draining as what Ryan’s been through- and my funny guy who tells me multiple times a shift that I’m “killing it!” even if he has no idea if I have or not. That’s the reward. You’re putting your all into something that just keeps taking that starts feeling utterly pointless and one of your people comes and tells you you’re doing amazing, finger guns and all before getting back to work? That’s the reason I’m still here 3 1/2 years after I thought I’d quit. After those nights where it was just me and the supervisors. Ryan is a Team Builder, the glue of the Team, the one who kept people’s hearts up. If a team doesn’t have a Ryan, it goes from feeling like a real-life power rangers to a zombie apocalypse. ...I’m just glad Ryan made it a Power Rangers type of team. 🙂 Everyone needs hope.

When somebody calls a bow worthless in a survival situation you know he's a member

I do like Scooby ;)

@@duzer That implies that Scooby is a golden retriever 👀

Well put

🤣🤣🤣. True

Albert Batfinder haha, good point.

They don´t count I suppose, you probably get used to them as your surroundings and you talk to them, but in such situations it is similar to zoom call - you see them, you talk to them, interact, but ... it is still not counted and won´t help you in your situation - unline with natives ;)

in that perspective , you can live in new york on the streets , and not meeting people

@@woodennecktie there is a point in whar you are saying. You can feel completely helpless and alone in the middle of Big Apple despite the "mass of bodies" around you. Usual count of intetactions is zero, which is actually lower than those with a lift you take. It is not about count of people you meet, but about number of relations, interactions and feelings. You have really none with NY crowd and those with camera crew are more like being an animal in the zoo - you are different worlds there. Therefore noone has any relationship and feelings towards the crew and not counting them as "other humans" - yesy they are there, but even in case of danger they will watch and film, not helping

Did they share the Oreos or manage to steal them? My husband was talking during that part.

Fuck...

nice 69

Touché

stupid

ジェネシスantifan what intelligent insight you’ve provided!

I've thought about that...go back with camping gear and food and enjoy it!

That's a great idea!

Yaaaassss please!

I second this! Have another type of adventure

@@duzer do a Kickstarter

sapinva haha!!! Good one

Yeah .. They make good eating

I really don't think he thought it'd be that hard to find food. He was going with people who had military experience, survival experience. The last thing he thought was going to happen was nearly starve to death.

I explained in the video that I had ridden my bike 3,000 miles before this trip and didn't have time to put weight on.

@tubagoo dom sounds like he saw an opportunity and took it before it was gone.

@@rachelanna1471 So poor judgement instead

BingBong 1234 either waybhe was happy with the turnout

StealthAssasin 1Day so true!

Fit people usually have calorie burn rate faster so it makes them faster to lost energy if they get less usual calorie than normal.

Yeah, those indigenous peoples are always real porkers.

Yeah, on History's Alone, a lot of the participants got pulled medically for losing too much body fat. Several of the winners were the biggest guys

Also, of the Donner Party survivors, most were women and one theory is that they had a higher percentage of body fat, compared to the men

Anyone is capable of acclimating if they have the will

because its fun. Some people like the luxuries of civilization... Others like to forsake civilization

same went on so many camping trips, the only camping i like to do is when im pitching a tent in my shed

RIGHT?! They train for yeeeeears

Because it is uncomfortable and scary... it will make you stronger + appreciation of the little things when you get back many benefits mostly psychological lagging behind the actual ordeal.

Awww, thanks! Sending you big high fives!

Never eat breakfast, ever. Fast for one day every week, 2 days once a month. I can go 3 days without food.

@@forexalised9053 "Never eat breakfast".....xD this guy

@@korcidiamond3623 Many cultures around the world don't eat breakfast, it's not mandatory. Humans had been waking up in the morning and hunting for food before they could eat. Before fridges, we used to salt meat but even then, for a long time before that, we couldn't store meat for long and had to feed a community or family. "xD" Are you twelve years old?

@@grapesoda27914 It's ok little one, your brain will finish developing eventually

Yeah I did a workout challenge where I worked out 5 hours a day and fasted for 12 days straight. Ita not bad

I agree! That was the most beautiful aspect of this experience

Well compare like maybe 4 hours to 24 hours a day every day

A shared tragedy tends to bring people together instead of ripping them apart.

True!

we're living in a zombie apocalypse now, trouble is the zombies do not know they are zombies.. They just waddle around mindlessly full of vaccines, eating mc donalds with their dumb phones in their faces, thinking they're free with knowledge, and know things Welcome to planet zombie apocalypse apes

@@ItsFrenzy26 you’re so woke! Congrats 😂

​@@tilted6368 Well to be ''so woke'' I would have had to have been sleeping I was never really sleeping, but I am aware of lots of simple concepts and truths that are seemingly too much for most people to grasp outside of their bubbles of illusion, delusion and ignorance.. So I'm so something, but not sure I'd call it woke considering I was never really ''asleep'', and never as entirely oblivious and ignorant as most other people.. ''Woke'' probably compared to 6 billion mindless idiots, yes.. The people that call themselves woke are still mostly lost and confused compared to some of us.. I'm still just waiting for ''woke people'' to actually get woke..... You're so tilted at the truth or something? I know it's not a helpful way to express or perceive the situation but it's essentially just one way of expressing the sad truth of what things have come to on earth that is rather accurate.. Did I offend you? Or did your ego just get offended that there are people out there more ''woke'' than you think you are, even if they just stopped by to express condolences to planate of the zombie apocalypse apes?

​@@tilted6368 On a side note, most people don't realise that there are biological and chemical weapons that exist that will do something rather similar to the ''zombie virus'', that they've been programmed and conditioned to unknowingly consent to and imagine that scenario occurring.. Which there are very important reasons why people are programmed and conditioned so much, but I'm not going to bother spoon feeding you about that, I'm sure you already know better anyway I suppose it's just sheer luck for humanity that some groups of people would rather not use such weapons on humanity because of the mess it will make, and the impact it will have on their agenda and the civilization of enslavement that people have been tricked into creating Instead we just have covid zombie viruses and the vaccines to go with it.. If there is an actual virus circulating, it was made in a lab.. If there isn't one then probably more people dying of fear from an imaginary virus than any actual virus.. Most people are still too oblivious to realise that fear puts people in a lower vibrational state mentally and physically, which also weakens the bodies defences to illness and problems with the body, and can be why people become ill..

I hear all that, but I have to say, this experience was VERY real.

@@duzer I am not questioning the reality of your experience. This was real. I am referring to the part where they tried to make up a romance between you and Melissa. The section 15:50 minutes into the video. You said "They would try to build up stories that aren't really there." Sorry for not being clear in my first comment.

@@56932982 I'm just happy they didn't try to spin some sick story from the naked warmth for the hypothermia for the first chick.

Same

me too. * wipes tear *

Stephanie Rubin hmmm, does anyone have an extra Nutter Butters? ;)

@@duzer I have a load ; )

Cam confirm. Not eating for more than a few days will give you crazy food dreams.

😊

Only nut he was worried about getting was nutter butter.

Brayden Games Yup humans are only on top because of our brains, double edged sword since civilization makes our lives so much easier but if it were ever to collapse probably most of us would die.

@@Carriesue1982 Most, but the physically fit working class who enjoy fishing, camping and making things with their hands will surely survive.

Forexalised Eh but as you saw this guy being so physically fit actually worked against him and he starved very quickly and had zero reserves. Being super fit in a survival situation isn’t always a good thing.

Forexalised I also grew up fishing with my dad, I mean you can go all damn day without catching a thing or just catch small fish. Highly doubtful to catch enough to sustain a grown man working hard to survive with fishing alone but I mean sure there are some people who might survive fine who have the right skills but the vast majority of people especially in western culture have zero clue how to do anything lol.

Yes, but that's because our ability to empathize, communicate, and work together to form said civilization is our main evolutionary advantage.

Jonathan Hansen ;)

PTOWWWWNNNNN

there probably was. if they collapse and literally dying in the next hour, I'm sure the crew who probably had a medic would have pulled them out.

It didn't take more than functioning set of eyes to tell these people were starving to death. I think he was going to die on the show.

Great way to get 0 caloric intake and many Cholera/ Lyme etc

Ronald Meadows that’s interesting, never knew that before

grass isn't a good source of food for humans, but there were probably other plants they could have eaten.

If you boil it first, it’s alright

@@drgnarm I made the same comment because native people eat the roots of plants like almost a potato it provides starch and carbohydrates. Which is really filling. They just have to know the difference between a poisonous plant and an edible one

ZOOOOOM!

If I was the cam crew, I'd toss'em one at a time to you when no one was looking, ha

Innocentius Lacrim I agree. It’s an extreme way to teach empathy, but it sure works.

I’ve been there twice. One: 30 hour famine in high school. That was a taste (bad pun-sorry). Second & much harder: had a stillbirth at 33 weeks. It was 52+ hours of labour, no food in case it switched to a c/s. A nurse toward the very end let me have a piece of dry toast and it was honestly the best food ever. Labour is hard work, I was starving and so sad. Just awful.

Reality shows are pretty crazy, especially survival ones. Thanks for watching!

Fast Dad Garage - North & South Chamberlain’s Brad is a great guy!!

he would be making a spa with a bbq pit and shit

I love that show!❤️

Should hav been a TV Show "dumpsters here in America"

But are you ok now? Hope you feel better

wtf 60 hours a week and you cant afford food? sounds like you could be managing your spending better

@Yuck Foutube Yeah because he's really saying "God blessed you" and not "may got bless you" or "god bless you for going through it all"

Were they paying you in maps to best dumpsters? Because 60 hrs a week you shouldn't be digging in a dumpster for food especially if you have no bills BC you're homeless? Idk it doesn't make sense to me

Slim_Sumo 🤣 idk why it was funny

@@Chris-eu2ls it's funny because people are starving to death and to being used in America as political water to Bosch completely unrelated policies that will prevent everyone from dying from lack of Medicine here

@@FrancisR420 don't tell me you don't think socialist policies weren't the cause of Venezuelas problems because they certainly are.

@@issadraco532 People here have had it too good for too long, have become lazy fools, and want to bring in a socialist system thinking that the government will become their mommy and take care of them and give them free stuff, and they ignore what happened to the other socialist countries out there.

@@issadraco532 now do Norway

Bobby Duke Arts thanks for watching, it was quite the experience

Revenge of the Nerds!

yep... Watched by fat americans sitting in their oversized homes. "Mother nature" sadly is very hostile and chaotic place - kill or get killed. What made us civilized is agriculture and settled way of life. Never in the history of the human kind, you can just be dropped anywhere and survive. All animals have small natural habitat. What made us expand as species was probably hunting and killing other animals. But such resource is not infinite either. So if we think about "mother nature", the only sustainable way of living on this planet, is proper agriculture. But it can't be made into a show, inducing emotions. So people let entities like Monsanto to rule, while getting their everyday dose of TV... I know this video is supposed to be about the "human spirit", but all I can see is grown up men wasting their energy for mindless entertainment of others.

They were all in on it...that was a total setup

Hey! I'm glad that you enjoyed it, I know it's a long one, but there was a lot to cover. Cheers!

Agreed. The pacing is so engaging!! Great job, Ryan!

Thank you!

siempre lloro cuando vea la parte final con mi mama

I knew that I liked ol Bob

A friend of mine suffered a car accident, it didn't kill him but it left him quadriplegic. I don't think he's stronger.

@@wgjung1 Mentally stronger. Unless you're a woos and it mentally breaks you

C Mantooth yes, they gave us a 50 bucks a day while there, so we all left with about 1k

Ryan Van Duzer ah so military pay 🤣😩

Ambi Cahira wow, thanks for sharing your story. You sound like you’ve been through a lot, sending you hugs from Colorado

me too, everytime!

J L it was as real as it gets!

Timothy Follis Check out Ultimate Survival Alaska another great show too!!

ME!!!

A year after you posted l too would like to know.

Yeah same I would love to know the answer to these questions. I always find that the best questions are always ignored/not seen/never answered on RU-vid.

I had those questions in the beginning of the video. Ryan covered all that well. They were able to check out any time; there were parameters, but they individually determined how far they can endure. That made it more impressive. It's one thing to endure a hardship when you had no choice; another thing to carry on when you have the chance to quit. Jesus could have come down from the cross, but He didn't. Way to go Ryan. I learned alot from your video. A Lot!
