#1 Siberia story. It reminds me of something I recently read. A father took his family to a zoo, I believe Australia. A big sign said "On Exhibit- The Most Dangerous Animal on Earth".

It's such a dumb statement. A human next to another human is in almost zero danger. A human next do an incredibly venomous snake is in incredible danger. Even during the Massive World Wars your chance of being killed in a New Jersey street or a Brisbane Pub was still incredibly small. Humans have periods of danger that we know about and can avoid.

I am late but I just have to comment that diving accident, because I knew one of those man died in there. I am from Finland and my family had many hunting dogs and because of their success, we got puppies and sold those to other people. My family did not want to sell dogs to just random person so we connected little bit with buyers, so we could be sure that new home is good for the dog or dogs. One of these people was diver, who also loved hunting and seemed like perfect home for Peppi, this dog he seemed to like. Most times we stayed in touch with these dog buyer in first year or so just to check out and help if needed. After couple of years we got call that this man died in cave diving accident and none of his relatives could not take Peppi, so we went and took dog back. And today my parent still have this same dog. Also I love your content MrBallen it is the best and you tell these stories so well that I just have to watch more and more. I would love also to see more of these stories that take place in the EU, because it is easier to connect with videos that are "close" to me.

@promontorium 2 года назад

Regarding the first couple, I've noticed some world travelers operate on the notion that everyone is good. They see the best of humanity and that probably fuels their continued traveling. But they meet endings like this when they won't accept some people are predators. Quite literally in this case. Don't hike the border of Iran and Iraq. Don't go to North Korea unless you obey every rule, don't overstay your welcome. Learn when to look for something in people's eyes and mannerisms that shouldn't be there. Practice your own poker face, learn to be unpredictable, practice subtle cues to your partner(s). Be savy.

@taitsmith8521 Год назад

It's not that "everyone is good", it's the belief that there is some good in everyone. I mean Christ, Hitler did a lot for animal rights, and there were some people who loved him. White supremacists still tuck their kids in at night. But there is a big difference between trying to find common ground with someone you hate ( or somebody who hates you ) in a professional of public setting, and a black person showing up to a Klan rally. Don't become a bigot yourself when dealing with bigots, but don't be naive either.

Well he got like 5 things wrong about it in the space of 3 minutes, so I don't think that's true. The most glaring of which was this tired, silly trope of "You can't know which of these identical paths is the correct one! OH NO!" Yes, you can, because you have a permanent rope line with arrows telling you precisely which one is the correct path... and if there is no rope line, which pretty much always means it hasn't been explored yet, you would never ever be there doing a traverse. By definition, of course, because if it hadn't been explored, nobody would even know there WAS a traverse, lol. How can you go out to do a traverse that nobody knows exists? You can't. And if they do know it exists, it means there's a rope line in there, and you shouldn't ever get confused about the correct path.

To the story about Seberia and Stalin: my grandmother used to tell me stories about those times. Our whole nation was deported by Stalin to Seberia and Kazakhstan and to the native people there the Russians told that the new habitants are cannibals, and because of that the natives wouldn’t interact whit them. My grandmother used to tell me how terrible it was and how a lot of them just died on the way… and in one village they couldn’t gather everyone on time, so they just put them in a shed, closed it and burnt them alive. And whoever could escape was just shot dead. They did all of that to us and they never apologised or acknowledged. They just don’t tell this in the history classes, you don’t find it in the books…but they do learn you about what a great leader Stalin was and just light up that time of history. Meanwhile, our houses and properties were owned by other nations that were sent there. They burnt and got rid of every book that mentioned our name, every track of our existence was deleted. We were able to come back but again they tried to get rid of us. There were two wars, the first one we won. Eltsin started it and than Putin inherited and put more effort into it. They need our land without us, if that’s not possible, they need it with brainwashed, no culture and traditions people. We are now September 2022 and we’re still fighting for our freedom and right to existence without that giant monster, called Russia. Can anyone guess who I’m talking about??

All alone in a remote island, with a stranger and nobody knowing that they are there...... This girl was so brave, strong and daring, it’s sad that her boyfriend didn’t survive.

I am a teacher/tutor for varsity tutors and I do a lot of pressure volume based problems of coarse; I had no idea you were a navy seal and for the longest time I could not figure out exactly what you were to obtain from what I called "hard earned commonsense" .Its very noble to obtain such a visceral and reflective form of brain power. I'm impressed man and thankful my dude. You guys are like the guardians of the sea man. I'm petrified of it, but its so fascinating and begs to be understood and surviveed in the safest possible way and above all respected like any great foe.

I can't believe all the comments are talking about the divers when the Siberian cannibal camp is a million times more horrific.

People usually more concerned about the situations they might be in. In this case, if compared, the diving situation is more plausible than Stalin's island.
