Those jumping cactus called cholla (pronounced choiyah) are your worst nightmare. The spines are soft so it moves and attaches to your skin like Velcro. You have to use pliers to pull them out and they take flesh with them. A tip if you get one in you is to wrap a sock around to stop it and get a pair of pliers.

@RicardoRoams 3 года назад

When I lived in Tucson I would carry a large comb in my pocket. If a cholla ball ever was stuck to my arms or clothing, I would pull out my comb and just comb the entire clump of cactii off.

@NarleyAdventures 3 года назад

I kicked one rolling ball and the freaking thing got stuck to my steel toe boot, kind of freaked me out. Lol

@neeko4676 3 года назад

I was just watching a video about cholla. Those things are scary!!!!

@MultiYoda69 3 года назад

THe cactus wood he played like a horn was from a Teddy Bear Cholla. The Cholla with the fluffier thorns are the Teddy Bear Chollas (AKA jumping Cactus) and the Less Densely thorned variety are Stag Horn Cholla--Both Members of the Opuntia Family of Cacti such as the Baselarius and even Prickly Pear....

@3smoke 3 года назад

lol Javelinas followed me to work once, though it didn't attack. It will if babies are present though D:! Oh and next time you are in the Sonoran Desert? Bring a Black light... An actual Black light to camp... Those lights make Bark Scorpions glow in the dark like HARD from yards away! Amazed you didn't see a snake, though I suppose 60º is too cold. AT Mt. Lemmon! When you caught the drone?! YOU WERE RIGHT NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE TO A TRAIL! The closed Road at the end of the parking lot- ( Right side if you freeze @ 24:41 looks like a red plastic fence blocking a road.) at the top of Mt Lemmon? There's a road there you can take on foot. Its not long, It leads to the Mt Lemmon Sky Center Observatory. Nearby is the " Mt Lemmon Trail Head Entrance". "Street Lore" EVERY restaurant you saw was closed for a long time when the mountain burned up years ago now. If you would have taken some of the trails up there you would have seen evidence of it still present. Burnt tree trunks still stand in some places

Of Course you would go to the east side. The Catalina MountaIns are far lusher than the Tucson Mountains. Also it is pronounced Havalina--The J has the Spanish H sound. Also it is not a hog or a pig. it's a Peccary

Oh they are on the OTHER side. My God it's like night and day....lol....I live up in the foothills, Catalina side, the pretty side like you say. So glad you pointed that out. Not that it isn't all fantastic but the lushness on the Catalina side offers a whole different desert experience. And also about our lovely desert PIGS....the HAVaLEENAS.

Yours is the best video I've seen of Tucson! I've been to all the places you visited. It took me two tries to hike Blacketts Ridge trail. It's funny hearing you miss-pronounce all these words: javelina is pronounced "havelina", saguaro or sahuaro is pronounced "sawaro" and Mt. Lemmon is pronounced "Mt. Lemon".

@lindahardy8713 3 года назад

@JustKrista50 2 года назад

New sub here. I wanted to see your Tucson vid. It's my home. Actually I live in Sahuarita in the hills. You guys are getting so much flack for how you pronounced things. Geesh. "Just don't call me Late For Dinner." Javelinas are aggressive, but they're so ugly, they're cute. Those jumping cacti will actually "jump". It's like a static attraction. They hurt. I always said I'd plant some outside my kids windows if they ever snuck out. I hope you guys get to come back. There is so much to see in Arizona. Sedona is just gorgeous. I like it better than the Grand Canyon. Start on I-10 from Tucson. Get on a back road trip north toward Flagstaff. It's phenomenal. Montezuma's Castle is cool to see. Close to it they have actual adobe dwellings that you can get in. People wonder how our ancestors survived in the heat. Brilliant engineers. Those dwellings are nice and cool in the summer.

The Saguaro grows arms for balance. So arms themselves are not an indicator of age, but of slope conditions or soil conditions. The root system for Saguaros is very shallow so they do all of their balancing and anchoring from above.
