Painful RITES of PASSAGE with the MURSI TRIBE 

Would anyone else get this cool souvenir? 🐉 UNCENSORED SCENES ARE HERE: www.patreon.com/posts/67567976

it’s beautiful how he doesn’t judge or think their cultures and traditions are weird. it really gives me some hope for humanity ❤

That young lady playing footsies with him was the most adorable interaction between 2 people from completely different walks of life I have ever seen. 🥰

I'm Ethiopian and I can understand what most of them were saying and it makes me happy because my country is not one of those who is mentioned a lot plus I promise to watch every single one of your videos Mike and what's even more surprising is I'm Ethiopian and I don't think I've heard of the mursi tribe what a shame for me

It’s crazy how much the society we grow up in affects our perception of beauty. For example, I simply cannot fathom how anyone could find those lip plates attractive, but what many fail to realize, the Mursi also couldn’t fathom someone NOT thinking lip plates are attractive. This is such a clear proof of the fact that there is no such thing as objective beauty. Take those lip plates to any other society on earth and they would think that they not only look ugly, but downright disgusting. Yet this small culture has adopted this as a standard of beauty. Very interesting.

"Just because something seems weird to you doesn't mean you're right, people live different ways" that's a powerful line man. Your content is just amazing, your channel one of the best in this platform

"Armed with a kalachnikov and a pink butterfly necklace" has got to be one of the most badass things ever

I'm studying to become an archivist. What you have done here is another form of archive work. It's so important that you did this in a respectful way, when it comes to deeper tribes like this what we have is extremely outdated colonialist writings. You're correcting that. You're showing how it truly is. Thank you

I couldn't even last 10 minutes how they live. Mad respect this is beyond beautiful. Life would be so simpler but hard yet rewarding all in the same.

Honestly there are so many traditions like scarification that aren’t really that harmful and I don’t think they should be abandoned completely in the modern world so many traditions are beautiful and it’s so wonderful to see them at least in some ways recorded and preserved

He was treating it like a tattoo😂😂 “What’s the aftercare?” Ah sir I love this channel cause it shows very real moments. I especially love bits where the kids are curious

I am so fascinated with the scarification process. I have gotten keloids all my life and the biggest one is my keloid scar i used to be so insecure about them… but watching videos like this where its a right of passage just makes me feel less insecure and more proud of myself.

16:30 oh, poor her. Wanted to find the man of her dreams… but I’ve learned that people who live in tribes don’t really get to have what they choose, just have to follow what their families chose for them.

I'm disabled and can't travel more than 10 miles from my home. Thank you so much for your channel! I can finally travel and see the world through your lense. I appreciate your point of view on people and cultures. I love them all and want to experience and learn all I can.

This is incredible, much respect to them with drinking the cow’s blood. I wouldn’t be able to do that. I love how the tribe laughed with him. He got down on his knee and practiced their culture with them. I love how careful she was when she was scarring him! The intricacy in the scars you can see are amazing 💟 💕

By far one of the most respectful travel vloggers i have ever come across, the way you communicate with the natives wherever you go is great. Its like you forever keep in mind that you are a guest in their home. Thank for you for work❤

This whole video is just beautiful. The respect and love he shows to the tribe makes me believe in the world so much, great watch.

Thank you for introducing our country Ethiopia 🇪🇹

She's so unbelievably adorable it makes me tear up. When she smiles all shyly 😩😍🥰🥺 I just can't handle it. I hope she finds someone she loves that treats her as Amazing as she deserves to be treated. She's right, forced marriage is not good.

I just came across this channel, first video I’m watching and what an open minded, calming and beautiful human Mike is. We really need more inspiring people like this in the spotlight. This video alone brought me so much joy and inspiration. What beautiful people make up this tribe, captured from such a raw perspective.

Thank you sooooo much for this amazing content, I honestly look forward to seeing more and more of this. Love from, South Africa.

That young lady was so cute when she was playing footsy with you. What a great thing you are doing, educating all of us who are curious. Your respect for others is beautiful. Thank you. We need more people like you on this planet.

broo keep doing u. u are a teacher opening people's eyes to different cultures

Back to the core. You're doing it right. This fills my heart , also my heart goes out to all fellow women everywhere around the world who are mistreated and stripped of their autonomy. 😢

You're brilliant man. You got this energy to overcome fear when involved in with some of the most awkward staffs. You showed true love and kindness.

As an Ethiopian I appreciated you blurring out some things, that is what humanity means. Great video, I learned a lot!

I freaking love how you go hang out with the tribes, take part in their culture without making a big charade of it, don’t make them feel less-than and give them compliments, and also encourage others to not be dicks in the beginning of the video ❤️

I don’t really watch vlogs or anything like this on RU-vid, but this caught my eye and now I’ve subscribed. You’re perspective is beautiful and rare sir. Even amongst travelers. Blessings to you!

The way you did your intro was so amazing to me I immediately subscribed ! We need more people like you in this world !

15:26 "let's go" she's adorable ☺

my first time ever experiencing your videos, & never have I felt so immersed in an other culture or had a greater appreciation for life as a whole, thank you for making the content you do, & please continue to do so & share the message you have been

I'm currently writing this at the introduction of the video. I am truly touched by such a loving message. Truly embrace all cultures! People come from different experiences! This is my first video from your channel as well! Subbed for sure!

I loved this, I definitely am going to watch some other videos. It was so lovely seeing another culture and their rituals. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏

He is not just a traveller, he is a poet, a person who makes poetry of things which can't be shared directly , i love the way he sees humanity and how much he understands it, he himself has grown as a human with his channel . Love your content mike

Amazing and high-quality storytelling, especially for a channel with a million subscribers. I see Fearless & Far having a lot of potential for further growth and success in the near-future, keep it up!

Man, I think its so cool you're willing to go into a culture with no fear and just experience differences that exist!

You are such a beautiful being. The way you hold yourself and go about things I’d just graceful and humble. I learned something new from this video, and I’ll treasure that. Thank you ❤

The pink butterfly necklace is EVERYTHING!! Also thank you for making this video and sharing your experience with their culture!

I'M PROUD TO BE ETHIOPIAN!

I’m so grateful to Sky for introducing you! Love your content love your broad minded perspective and gentle nature. Love the curious and adventurous spirit! Keep it up brother x

I watch RU-vid a lot, this is the first time I see your videos in full, it is one of the best channels I have seen so far.

I love how open minded and respectful this guy is, he doesn’t judge and makes his own opinions!

I love the way the lady is so proud of her sorghum, "my sorghum" I love the way humanity is diverse, that drinking blood and porridge would make someone so happy It is a lesson to us all, we don't need anything more to be happy, we just need each other 💙

I found you and have loved what I have seen! So glad to see a person just enjoying all the wonderful things in this world.

The best way to teach is to learn. Thank you and thank you to everyone in the tribe for sharing this with us.

As an Ethiopian this also surprised me a lot ….specially the fact that the mursi men speak impassive Amharic(the national language)...Excellent Content

Your speech about rites of passage really, really spoke to me. I'm halfway across my country for college within the next two weeks. It will be the first time I live away from my family. I do feel scared, and I do feel lost, but ultimately I'm traveling to grow as a person - exactly as you described - for the first time in my life.

as soon as you started the introduction, telling us to keep an open mind, i subscribed and turned on notifications, immediately knew this was a channel that'll share and educate, i love that so much, i've got such a hunger for learning about different cultures and people, so this is so exciting to me, thank you for what you do 🫶

“I just really appreciate people for being people” Beautiful words, I’m gonna start saying that now.🙌☺️

As a retired professional tattoo artist for 20 years in the United States. I must say I am truly jealous of your experience with traditional scarification. I see them as amazing people, as they also should be able to protect their livelihood just as any other person without being considered to be violent for protecting themselves and their way of life from thieves stealing their cattle. The violence is at the hands of the thieves who steal their cattle. Whereas they have every right to protect their children and the cattle they raise that enables them to raise their children in the amazing culture their ancestors shared with them as they will also share with their children’s children. That is what has been lost in the western world cultural importance is now lesser then having a iPhone or some other latest gadget and that to me is sad. Thank you sir for videoing your adventures and giving your audience the perspective of these customs and historic cultural values that a lot of these tribes are still living today. I rather throw away the cell phone and money and live in a cave which is not far away from my current way of life now living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado at 9000ft off the grid with the only video or tv I watch being documentaries in likeness of the ones that you are producing and that are of historical truth. Which is why the value of tribes like the ones that you allow others to see are far richer than most people living in the world today as most people know not their history let alone still value it enough to protect that way of life and to me that is far more important than any amount of money one could ever make and pass down as inheritance. The biggest thing is when the world has become once again as it has in its lifespan destroying the technology that those ancestors had but it was the tribes that were able to continue life. Most people do not currently know how to start a fire and it was said a year ago that 70% of society would die off without electricity in the United States and that is extremely said but good thing to have all that money saved. Once a person is able to cut the rope from the machine and then is able to truly live life as we humans were supposed to live it is only then that a true appreciation for life takes place otherwise it is appreciated for the technology and gadgets a person has not the sunshine, sunrise, sunset. Or the rain when their food depends upon it growing from the rain and not from a grocery store.

Man im not gonna lie that was way past my comfort zone even just watching but I’m amazed how open you are to things keep it up your showing the entire world things they would never get to see or know otherwise

this is my first time see this channel as it was recommended to me by youtube but WOW this is incredible to watch and so intriguing to see all different forms or culture and life. absolutely beautiful.

Wow. This video gives a very powerful message. I wish everyone could see the world with the level of understanding that you have.

Watching this makes me want to cry. Our perception of outside cultures is kinda disgusting. I really appreciate what I’ve seen here and cannot judge outside people again. The same happened when watching Best Ever Food Review Show and seeing the foods they eat. I love and respect you for all you do.

Your fearless travel is such a beautiful thing. Its lovely to see someone embrace things as you do. And you even put in donga!

Awesome. Thanks for the video !

Just watched your channel & the additional video for the first time. It was magical. What you are doing was my dream right after I got out of high school but never followed up. Life happens. God bless you !

when you asked what makes her most happy in life and she said "we drink blood and eat porage" i seen her eyes get watery and the emotion felt contagious. find gratitude in the now, think ive been ungrateful. thank you for visiting and sharing your experience.

I love this guy, doesn’t shame or judge he educates us and actually participates in thier culture I love this.

stumbled across your account and have to tell you that your content is amazing! I appreciate all the effort and respect you put into it ❣️

As a Liberian living in America, it’s really dope to see you respectfully exploring my continent 💪🏾

You're so right about travel being a right of passage, I was homeless at 13 so I was raised by alcoholics,junkies,prisoners,bikers on my travels as a kid all of them took me under their wing. Some treated me well some didn't but none forgotten, it's like an actual cartoon but out the other side of that came a man with moral convictions, compassion, ideals. When I tell people my story it sounds like the origins of a supervillain but I disarm people by being nice and chill everybody gets a firm handshake (it's my one prejudice I can't stand limp handshakes they annoy me but thats absolutely from growing up surrounded by psychotic alpha males haha) I can't physically walk anymore due to health so I live vicariously through videos such as this to see the world soothes my gypsy spirit so I thank you.

Wow that was the most beautiful video that I’ve seen this year. I love that my algorithm know that I wanted to see something making me feel good

I love how you immerse yourself in culture. What a wonderful experience. Continue to keep an open mind, enjoy and learn all you can. Life is beautiful when you live, learn and love.

Out of everything drinking blood won't be an easy thing to me. Guys you go through a lot to show us what is happening out there. I salute you

The way Natoyi closes his eyes while he's getting the scar is just 😇sooo blissful to watch. Man, she's so precious.......

I love this video, it very meaningful and the fact your showing their culture and traditions to the world to show that how they live and it beautiful, Is incredible honestly I want to go in tears❤

you deserve a whole TV show man. Keep up this great work you you’re amazing.

Much love to our peaceful neighbors of Ethiopia from Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤️

I am African,but I have to say that as much as we may want to preserve our culture,when it is painful,forced and useless,,we have to learn and move on *Just my view*

I loved how the people were asking for his bracelets in the end, he must have really made a cool impact on the tribe. I am sure they wanted a token to remember this experience forever. OR maybe they just thought the bracelets looked really cool haha. Great video!

I instantly became a Fan. I’d love to meet this Tribe! Thanks for giving us a close look at the lives of real humanity

Some of the most extreme and immersive travel vlogs on youtube! Your adventures never disappoint and your videos are marvellous little documentaries that tell their story.

Wow this is the first time I've ran into ur videos and I can honestly say it made me feel warm I can truly see how sincere and genuine u are as a person and how u truly love what u do and aren't just using these ppl to create content. Hands down u seem like a pure human being and I love it. Keep it up. Don't change.

It's baffling how the kids at the school could make fun of her, she's freer, happier and stronger than they could ever hope to be, I'm so glad she kept her smile and is doing great!

I respect how much respect you show each culture. Understanding that they have opened their home and culture to you.

traveling the way you do, letting people see the way others live their lives, by doing the things you do, is such a beautiful thing. you become an accepted member of society everywhere you go, and that helps prove that humans are more accepting than people may think. You have a powerful movement happening, that trails behind you. Kudos to you sir!

I just want to say thank you. Due to health issues I can’t travel often, I hope to be able to one day. And these videos give me hope that I can over come my health fears and experience this amazing world. You’re doing such an amazing thing by showing the world different cultures. And for that thank you!!❤

I love videos like these. The new perspective of beauty, the rituals, the commitment these people have to their tribe is amazing and reshreshing.😇😇😇

Amazing video brother . Love it ❤❤❤

Bro- how come at 9:25 the guy was staring DEEP into my soul💀

Watching these videos have really opened up my eyes to different cultures thank you

I have so much respect for how you respect their cultures and traditions. I love watching and learning about different cultures.

A very beautiful video. You are genuine, respectful and honored to be there and they feel that. ❤❤❤❤

The only thing i'm sad for is the language barrier. You can understand so much of a culture if you understand it's language, since it's not only useful to communicate but it also carries the way people think and interact with the world and with each other. No translation will ever be able to convey this.

I've only just stumbled across your channel but you've just gained me as a subscriber. The respect you demonstrate to these people is inspirational and I look forward to watching your older videos.

Thank you so much for this beautiful peek inside these peoples world! I enjoyed this so much and just gained a new sub and fan! I hope to get my own scar souvenir- what beautiful people thanks again!

WOW!!! I Love this one!!! Im an American who grew up in Ethiopia..and lived near Omo for eleven years...my mum was a nurse midwife..along with one other nurse at our station. We often had groups of these lovley people come to our clinic as needed...they would have walked for days to get to us. You have brought me such joy and amazing memories! Thank you!

I just found out your channel on youtube and I won't lie i really love it ! I love the introspection, the respect, the discoverey. Thank you for sharing with the world, things that could have stayed unknown with a high quality storytelling

Subscribed. Not just because it’s amazing footage and documentary on the dark places of the world that deserve a spotlight, but also because of the constant love you show ❤

It’s beautiful to see the different cultures. I noticed the sempiternal tattoo and I love it!

Did anyone else notice the little boy peeking at the guy from behind the tree at 12:17 lol so wholesome

Your storytelling helps to bring out the humanity in so many neglected cultures. You are respectful, nonjudgmental, and open. Since you are exploring the world through this attitude, we feel that same energy reflected back. We're immersed in your close intimate filming style. While other documentaries pretend to be objective and detached, your videos feel so personal. The people in your video may come from far away continents. They may have grown up with different backgrounds and cultural practices, but at the root, we are all so similar. We all want the warmth of acceptance, family, food, shelter, laughter, and intimacy.

I say this guy is the best. Embracing every culture he encounters. No words can express how much this means especially when participating this kind of tradition/ritual. God bless my guy. Greetings from the Philippines. Mabuhay ka!

Please do a short to show it once it's healed up! Nice observations and understanding; surprised she offered that testimony but very revealing to hear.

Absolutely love these types of travelling videos. Real raw no holds barred true life experiences ❤❤ new subscriber

You are one of the Greatest Human I've ever seen and respect. Storytelling is all we need in this world. Keep doing what you love, man. Thank you, Mike!

Amazing video. You made me feel bad. Even tho' am an Ethiopian I never went to visit this village. But now I will go and check this beautiful place. Thanks for being the moral to go to the mursi tribe.

I like the way you fit in with your hosts. That's the beauty of your videos. Thanks

You are amazing! Thank you for having the courage to travel to these amazing cultures and for sharing with the world. I love your life path!!!! Go as far as you can, it should be scary…..brilliant! Today is my first time on your channel and I am in total awe!!!
