LOST in CONGO and hunting VENOMOUS SNAKES with THE PYGMIES
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 06. 2024
- While in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we were invited into the forest to hunt with a group of Pygmies. This group is an African Tribe that is known for their short stature, and their hunting ability. During our adventure together, we found all sorts of things I didn't know were considered food, and also attacked by a mamba... which y'know... was fun.
This is the second part of the adventure. In the first... we had to escape a governor that labeled us spies. We bought a crocodile before flooding our motorbikes a few kilometers later. The sun was setting, we were stuck, so we went the the nearest village with an offer… our crocodile for a night stay in their village. They accepted.

Chase Your Fears 🐉
I want to help you conquer your fears so you can travel the world too! 🐉
Here's the video how: www.fearlessandfar.com/fear
Would u like to watch frog marriage in North Eastern state of India.
I want to travel In the jungles ❤
You're living the dream for so many others. But I believe everyone should go out and explore. Getting the real experience will show you how amazing this world really is. You will never take anything for granted again. Stay awesome, bro!
Yooo this is the best experience in life i wish i cud do that....thats real life
@fearless & far, when will you be coming to Nigeria
Can we all just take a second and see how accepting these people are ? They openly brought in an outsider , showed him their ways , even teaching him things and always smiling , it’s amazing to watch
@@ntokozonxumalo9332 not really no, it’s not all over...
@@ntokozonxumalo9332 I never said where I’m from they are welcoming but there are a number of African countries were the people aren’t welcoming like Sudan, or Ethiopia...

If only they knew what they did to black folks in the good old USA.
Africans are not racist, or anti other people's, naturally. They don't even have to try
As a Nigerian 🇳🇬 all I can say is that this man is way more African than most of us. I can't even step barefooted within my own compound. But he enters the jungle barefooted??? Balls of steel mehn. One love 🇳🇬

@Leonidas21 pretty sure that OP means "with us" as in this style of living. Most people need their AC and shoes and all the comforts of the modern home.
I sure as hell wouldn't be able to do a lot of this. I'm not eating a snake head or bee larvae, and definitely not walking through the jungle barefoot.
There may be "nothing to fear" for you, but many people are afraid of insects even touching them, let alone eating them.
This man's body language says it all. He's dedicated and he shows respect to the tribes and places he visits.
HE COMES THERE AND PROMISE THEM ALL TO PAY EVERYONE OF THEM TO ACT, SINGING, DANCING AND DO THIS STUFF! FOR HIM MONEY DOES NOT MATTER! IS PEANUTS FOR HIM! I BET HE GOT SOME SECURITY AND TRANSLATOR WITH HIM! HE WOULD NOT GO ALONE IN THERE! AFTER FINISH RECORDING THIS VIDEO! EVERYONE BECOMES A NEW NIKE CAP, NEW 20 DOLLAR SHOES AND 10 KILO RICE!

It would be hard but Loverly to live this life compared to what stress and bs we live with in the west
@@Falconer710I think it's just different stresses. Stresses of money, job, consumerism etc versus stresses of survival and difficulty in accessing healthcare and education. That said, having a deeper proximity to nature is a good thing.
These people are so talented and intelligent, I was blown away by their "Jungle Engineering" using only what nature provides. Thank you for sharing this!
Yes it is so crafty.
They would be blown away by our culture and technology as well.

this is what youtube was made for, thank you so much for documenting your experiences!
indeed
I understand that same way.
I think it's actually so genuine that Ilolo calls you by your name, you're not just mondele to him. That was a pretty wholesome moment to watch in this video, I think it would be honestly amazing to spend time with these people. They are so unique and attached to everything around them it's really quite a beautiful thing. This channel has quickly become one of my favorites by far.
Everyone is being genuine, even the Mondele is being very genuine, to them he is special because probably not every white guy comes and shows so much commitment to live life with them like that. His pronunciation to Ilolo might be strange hence he also calls him Mikey(it’s a humorous banter between them). If you are open to spend time with them know that they calling you by what they see is genuine
@@LifeIsbanana I do agree I never said they weren’t all genuine, I just think it’s a nice extra step llolo took to use Mikey, it makes it more personal in my opinion ( as you said, brings humorous banter) which is good for building a relationship and bond with someone.
I think he also thinks that Michael is fun to say XD
What do you mean by THESE PEOPLE!?!! Jk. Lol
Go do it ! Don't just try to get likes ! Go do it
I love how no matter what language you speak, you will always laugh at your friends coughing at the smoke sesh
Wow this just shows how big Congo is , I’m born and raised in Congo and have never heard of this place , this is amazing
You can say that about anywhere. Earth is massive compared to us... now just imagine all that's out in the universe that we'll never know about.... probably some insane sh*t out there
These videos are reaching National Geographic like levels. Very impressive stuff! Thank you for providing us occasional travelers with such insights, Fearles & far. Very very interesting stuff!

I cant explain how interesting this is. You are living like one of them, fully immersed in thousands of years of cultural novelty. The bare feet, the conversations, the hunts - all unfiltered and genuine. im inspired to do the same now, thank you for this man.
This is the modern day ethnography - anthropology. I believe future humans will use well-done videos and series from creators like this to teach others about the world. I mean, that’s what we’re doing right now, right? Really awesome stuff.

“I was engaged in something much more unpleasant than espionage. I was engaged in ideological subversion, which is seldom explained to people by your media, because the media is part of that process. Only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage and such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures [meaning] psychological warfare… What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that, despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.” -Y.Bezmenov/Soviet defector

this is why i love africa. the people are so very friendly no matter who you are, the cultures and tribes are amazing, and all have very interesting ways of life
Everyone there is so brave for walking around barefoot and jumping into that water 😅 I would never survive in the Congo, not even a day. I would cry if I had to walk in any of that water, scared of snakes and spiders and anything with a heartbeat 😅 props to all of you! What a great video! And an awesome channel 🎉🎉
And they would be just as scared walking around la or New York it's all about how you're raised.
It's beautiful thing watching this tribe. They're like one big family,...hunting, fishing, celebrating, and learning together. From the young girls collecting leaves to the elders building hooks, bows, and other tools needed for the days catch. They share joy, laughter, art, music, and even food. They look out for one another, and look out for guests who may not share the same color of skin, but definitely share a love of life!
In my book, these incredible people are more civilized than many city-dwellers. Great video "white guy",...great video indeed! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

We take so much for granted and i think that is actually a big burden.
Except for the never ending civil war(s) surrounding them.

every video just gets better and better!!! what i like the most is that you can tell this is not just for content. The huge respect you have for the people and their customs and how they see that and allow you in as a tribe member is all the more captivating. you have found a new way of story telling that national geographic or discovery channel will never get right. Its real. Its riveting. Its human. I cannot stop watching. Thank you!!!
The last part of your post has a real beat to it that underlines everything you're saying. It's riveting in its own right. Well done!
I had to stop the video in the middle because of the really wise words you we're saying about the world , and obessesion , obessesion about not being sick , fear of the jungles .
Those words are so true and sad at the same time .
I am glad to find this video out of nowhere .
Made me think to actually made my dream come true and leave behind the city and all the regular things I am used to and just go out to the wild and see the most simple and beautiful part of our earth as it is .
Thank for it and god bless you and keep you safe :)

Mate, you are a legendary personality. You were made for this. Loved watching every moment watching this.
I find this stuff to be so incredibly amazing to see, it always leaves me in awe when I see how little they need to be happy, it almost makes me envious.
Watching this makes me realize how we're disconnected from the source, from the forest, of course some things are a bit extreme for us who born in the cities, but the contact foot and land, walk in the forest... For sure makes us happier. I'm sure these tribes are much more happier than many first world people. Also, the knowledge, respect and skills they have with the forest is incredible, we can notice the pure joy on their faces. This disconnection from the source and unconsciousness about what we are, are one of the main reasons of most mental health issues currently. Thank you for sharing and for making this super production, storytelling, editing and reach this level of quality, even being solo
exactly only if the whole world was this positive. I believe we should all be living like this all natural and how its supposed to be. But certain people run the world that keep our minds controlled when we can do anything in this world and be free from any mental chains. This is why depression is a thing in the first place because of how the world is luckily we have places like these in the world that are filled with love and positivity.
They are 😍 they leave far away from the rest of congolese people they are not in the capital or any other cities in congo
They are isolated and are healthy and they are more happy than the rest of the world
Exactly, there are many reasons to live in this world…
We're totally dependent on big corporations and the chain of production, most people will die if anything bad happens like oil shortage
They are happy but dumb as shit
🇰🇪🇿🇦..As an African in Africa..See how welcoming and open hearted these folks are😌?- that's how they were 100 years ago-then got colonized.
- JUST SAYING
- EPIC CHANNEL-STAY TRUE TO THE MISSION
The differences in both culture & attitude / energy is palpable - I'm not a black person, so I cannot (and will not even attempt) to pretend that I understand the complexities of the sentient human experience for persons with higher levels of melanin. But, I am a human as well, and I'm capable of practicing / implementing critical thought and introspection, along with objectivity.
I've had the pleasure of speaking with immigrants from African nations. From the conversations I've had personally with a number of black African immigrants / visitors to the US, the resounding issue that was most touched on wasn't regarding wyte racism - it was centered around their general disliking / distrust of black Americans, specifically those born in the US. Many feel black Americans have squandered their opportunities as legitimate American citizens. I heard a lot about "wasted opportunities / wasted generations of black Americans," and how black Africans would basically give up their right arm(s) for a fraction of the rights and opportunities afforded to the black American populous. I was honestly taken aback when I heard black Africans tearing into Black American culture, including the lack of cohesion with regard to the family unit / home / black atomic family. I suppose coming from the continent that birthed humanity & that has, for the most part, retained it's cultural norms and traditions in the face of colonialism / endless civil wars / warring tribes / widespread slave trades, HIV / AIDS crisis in certain regions, multi-generational poverty, etc. they struggle to understand the nuances concerning black American cultural norms / standards. Black Africans are hard-working and proud, even if destitute...they come here and see these black communities riddled with poverty, joblessness, hopelessness, urban decay, violence and reliance on the state / federal govt's for sustenance...it's understandable why they're so confused and taken back by it all. The US has historically been the wealthiest nation on the planet - it's known as the "land of opportunity..." our freedoms and rights are world-renowned...yet, they see droves of black Americans doing little to nothing with the opportunities they've heard of all the way back in Africa.
The problem is, they often lack context and pretense for what ails black America. That said, I've spoken to many that simply don't accept the reasoning for it all; their view is, if we can overcome hardships in Africa and still retain our joy, peace, sense of purpose and community, then there's no excuse for it in the greatest nation on the planet.
The onus for much of the problems black America faces falls directly at the feet of the Southern Democrats...instead of providing black communities / communities of color with a leg-up, the wyte southern Dems chose to provide only hand-outs in the form of gov't programs. This didn't incentivize work or a sense of community...it incentivized laziness and disaffected generations of black Americans. If you doubt what I'm saying, research the biggest, oldest black communities in the US; they're ALL Democrat-run cities...and they're all riddled with crime, poverty and black-on-black violence via gangs. Baltimore, Memphis, Chicago, STL, Detroit, etc. All have been under the control of Dems for decades - and things have only gotten worse and worse.
TBH, watching this video made me wish that black America as a whole was more like these Congolese - they're happy, friendly, welcoming, hard-working, and quite respectable. It's so very sad how toxic black culture and communities have become in the "greatest nation in the world." I have no idea what could be done to change things for the better as of now...but I do know one thing for certain...the Democrats have done more to harm, disaffect and disempower black America / communities of color than anything or anyone else. When you take a step back and look objectively at the situation from the macroscopic, it truly appears that the actual enemy of black America has been the very partisan political system / politicians they've placed their collective faith and trust in for the last 70+ years. If that's not the case, why have these communities of color suffered so much while being under the control of the Left? If this is the Dems idea of "helping empower communities of color," I'd hate to see what they'd do to a demographic they sought to destabilize and destroy.
not every where in Africa is and were like that. depends on where you go
and btw only South Africa was colonized. and really wasent even colonized the British dropped their prisoners off there
@@ericsmith6677 Please, do not be ridiculous. Almost every country in Africa was colonized by a European nation such as France, England, Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc...with Ethiopia 🇪🇹 (in East Africa, near Somalia and Eritrea) being the only exception, and Liberia which was a point of entry for the U.S.A in Africa. Hence, Liberia's capital city to this day is named "Monrovia" (after a past U.S. President 🇺🇸) despite Liberia being located in West Africa (not far from Nigeria 🇳🇬, Ivory Coast, Ghana, or Benin🇧🇯 as reference points for you). For example, this video takes place in my country of origin, the Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇨🇩 in central Africa. The country was colonized by Belgium 🇧🇪, and during their rule, King Leopold the second of Belgium killed over ten millions Congolese, while cutting the hands of many millions others, just to exploit our rubber gathered from these trees that you see in the jungle. It was a genocide which was denounced by another European journalist named Edmond Morel. I know this much despite my younger age, as I am not even 25 years old yet. So that shows that you can also educate yourself to learn more about other cultures instead of just denying the colonization of Africa, while stating that even South Africa was not really colonized, since only European prisoners were placed there- how can you make such outrageous claims!!! By the way, I think you mentioned South Africa because of "Apartheid" which is a political system based on racial segregation that was put in place by the European settlers and colonizers in South Africa. This officially ended in 1996, after Nelson Mandela and his countrymen prevailed. By the way, Nelson Mandela became the first ever black president after that. Please learn, and stop making such ridiculous statements. Colonization did in fact take place in Africa, Asia, Australia, and in the Americas, too. It is mainly because of colonization that you have western countries today living better off than most countries that you have abusively named "third world countries" or "developing nations," simply because you stole and exploited their natural resources for centuries to develop your industries in order to build your countries. You got schooled today by a boy from DR.Congo, I am afraid. Stay safe!😊

Great video. I lived in DRC for 3 years and had some great adventures in the forests and travelled the Congo River for 2 weeks on a barge. Was farming and worked in tourism which was very challenging as you know. I remember well being called Mundele and eating the local foods.

yeah... my guess is a week in congo eating crocodile, mamba and an assortment of various bugs while also trying to avoid getting killed by them is gonna make that room of yours seem like heaven on earth and you're never gonna wanna leave it again!
HE COMES THERE AND PROMISE THEM ALL TO PAY EVERYONE OF THEM TO ACT, SINGING, DANCING AND DO THIS STUFF! FOR HIM MONEY DOES NOT MATTER! IS PEANUTS FOR HIM! I BET HE GOT SOME SECURITY AND TRANSLATOR WITH HIM! HE WOULD NOT GO ALONE IN THERE! AFTER FINISH RECORDING THIS VIDEO! EVERYONE BECOMES A NEW NIKE CAP, NEW 20 DOLLAR SHOES AND 10 KILO RICE! YOU ARE NOT FEARLESS! YOU ARE SMART AND CRUEL!
@@ralphbooger4756 where you there? Exactly please stop making assumptions.
For the water flicking at 10:56, I was soo used to doing it .. to the point that it started to happen unconsciously, never knew why either. But we believed it called the fish … or attract them near the trap, I don’t know about the science behind it 😅 It was more of a habit or a good luck charm I guess.
Thank you 😊
Instinct!
I think fish can feel the vibrations on the surface of the water
@@Lickingagoat Yes, I agree
It’s called clonking and it usually used to attract catfish.
You have balls of steel doing all this , mad props and can't wait to see your future projects
Ah wow this is soooo awesome! All those traps and hunting methods and the epic jam session waiting for dinner to cook… what a brilliant experience well done for creating that for yourself!
The fact that you even know when to introduce the next part of this series even though you are at such a dangerous area is amazing. That's what I call quality.

This vid made my heart so very happy - and also fed my sense of adventure. It's amazing how happy and fulfilled these Congolese people seem, even in the face of what we'd consider poverty. Not a smart phone, laptop or TV in sight...not a pair of Jordan's on anyone's feet. Huh - maybe consumerism and materialism ISN'T healthy? These people may be poor in terms of material wealth, but they're overflowing with joy, kindness, work ethic and a sense of pride. I'd say that makes them exceedingly wealthy as a people.
Will Rose, in one of ur comment u said u talk to alot of Africans in America that think black Americans r useless, I'm trying to find back ur comment but with no luck, if you still have it can you please repost it r send it to me. Bless up yourself family one love from Jamaica.
Yeah, it seems that unhappiness, depression, and hate run deep in western societies.
@@JM-pi2vc so true! I’m not so sure we have progressed in the right Direction!!
Couldn't agree with you more man you put it exactly how id like to in a sense id wish the world would go back to a state of primitive survival just to have the need to be alive in a way not to hurt or make others hate life but to enjoy it like these cultures and people do id wish for a second chance to see this worldwide
Thank you! We are naturally very welcoming regardless of what's goes on in our life. Especially towards foreigners.
I wish I was forty years younger and had the opportunity to do something like this you are so blessed to have met these great people
The respect and genuine, non-judgemental friendship that you show these people of the jungle is evident in the footage you shoot. The world needs more adventurers like you who leave their preconceived notions at home, avoid the beaten path, and completely immerse themselves in the culture of each new land they visit. Greetings from a tamer but comparatively boring part of the African continent.
i just came accross your videos tonight and ive found myself just continuously clicking the next video over and over and almost every video bring up some much emotion and joy and tears and just wow man the journeys you get to take all around the world just inspiring. You make me cherish and appreciate and really step back and think about my own decisions and my family. So much love for you and your entire team!
Don’t worry I do the same thing
currently doing this

Cool video. We in the USA really live in a dream wurl,
Where we hv cars houses and refridgerators full
Of food. Also, las one, i forgot, an A/C , Heater. Peace✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🍼🤛🍔🤨
Man I grew up in Congo. But never been where you are now (far and fearless). Stay blessed and thanks for showing the people the other side of life. God protect you there
I just love seeing everyone’s smiles! It puts one on my face! Everyone’s so beautiful.
Excellent video content. Thank you for your courage, heart and passion. Safe travels always. 😊
i love how they all so carelessley play with machetes
Its okay its not some American that cant even take the trash out. Skill vs certificates.
@@ForwardEngineering can confirm im an american i twisted my ankle takibg it to the curb.
@@TheGrego011 lol
Can we all agree that he is unique and different. Not just eating and traveling everywhere but interacting with the life and culture 🥰
Without knowing the Language he is great
You should go out to rural Africa and frolic with the jungle ppl too!
You can come to Zambia it's just a neighbor with Congo
In the midst of this little food lies the abundant love in sharing and eating together. I missed growing up in small town in southwest, Nigeria.
What beautiful people! You are one blessed man to get to experience this adventure!!
Accidentally happened on your channel, and I'm grateful I did. Wonderful content, definitely admire the love you share for those that started as strangers, and ended up as family. Bless up, and be safe.
Wow. Incredible. Its crazy to watch people the other side of the world from England. African tribes are so fascinating. The way they have to live is natural and i wish my life could be the same. I know it sounds crazy considering I'm from a first world country but it's actually very unhealthy how i live in England even when i try to eat good. Look at the bond and unity these people have. I would die for it. God bless Africa. The motherland right? Where life started?
Wise words! It’s so true though right? We buy protein bars, fitness apps, and follow diets… but forget about the fundamental ways we used to live, and how we’re still programmed to be that way. 🐉
Very beautiful words 🎶
You can still change your life and live happy , in Africa we don’t believe in the western mentality or first world or third world… ONE WORLD 🌍. Come join us my brother / sister !😊
@@1KriticalShoota 😇 true 👍
Word 💚
Absolutely love everything you did and said in this video. Thank you. People need to open their mind.
yeeee who dont
I cant even explain how much I love this channel!!!
The stories this man will have for his grandkids 👌🏽
I think they are absolutely amazing. This is what we were, and still are at our core.
Well all i can just say is i really love your channel you content and always love how you capture everything no matter how small or dark it is thanks for showing us another side of the world and would really want to go on adventures especially with someone who has experience so at least you have given us and idea so probably looking forward to it 🙃😌
Thank u this is by far the best channel on utube
I’m inspired and honestly felt so trap in the society we live in but just watching this makes me realize a lot of things also some sort of confidence boost.
Love and support from Seattle Washington

I'm in South Africa, can you please send me a bottle of Gin.
I can't afford it currently.
sad times for me.
You can ship the bottle kind sir.
@@mighty_meee bro 😂😂😂
I can confidently tell you that I can pause a movie on Netflix just to watch fearless and far... amazing 👏 👏
That's a fact
My namesake,saaaame
I’m obsessed with this channel and just found it. Better than anything on tv
Thank you so much brother for showing this part of the Kongo my home land❤
I usually dont comment on youtube. But your videos are such an incredible inspiration for me and I love how open you are towards the world. I agree to a 100 percent that all people are the same and only if someone understands this it opens the whole world and all the experiences for one❤️
Humanity’s innocence,simplicity and contentment..this is not just a simple travel to drc but a travel back to where all humans once were.. so pure and happy.
My thoughts captured in your comment.
Not really innocent but ok
The happiness is contagious 😂😂😂 awesome documentary maybe some people will realize how good they got it 👍
The greatest thing that has happened is me finding this channel, it has given me life and I love it ❤
I live in the South East of Congo and I'm discovering a new side of my country. Thank you for the video
Happy you’re here discovering it with us 🐉
We all are!
I love how the group is always so passionate and always makes far laugh
Thank you for your videos, ppl like you make the world a better place💯✊🏾 respect, love to see it
I love and appreciate how you travel my man. Not like Dale Phillips who would rather enjoy luxury hotels and and local artistic foods. You show the raw view of it. Thank you brother.
I wish we Africans could explore more....our Countries like this to reveal how Beauty our Nature and Unique, It Is!!!!!
Why cant you?
They killed a Mamba that's not beauty
Geezuz this has become my absolute favorite series on all of CZcams. Hands down..its so raw, unrehearsed, natural, real..no BS..excellent message throughout..you'll probably never see any of this anywhere else..man..thank you..please keep doing this..I'm hooked 💯
Maybe the best interview out there. Incredible... the energy Mpisi has at 79. Un-effin-believable.
Inspired me to live in such a way, that will allow me to be THAT full of zest, at 70+ :D that Thank you so much, to both of you 😊🙏🏻❤
Iloilo and Batumba were exceptionally fond of Mike! Young people, super curious and accepting; easiest pack to bond with. Batumba set aside two pieces of the snake for him and Mike to snack over while the dinner is cooked. That's friendship!
This was so great to watch. Thank you so much Mike for sharing this with us. I cannot help but to notice how you are shining and filled with joy and health. It makes me so happy to see someone living their dream and passion, and I think you are the perfect person for this job. How you interact and communicate with others in an open-minded, curious and friendly way is beautiful. I wish you all the best!
This guy seems very respectful and a genuine soul. You can see it from his passion, interaction and closeness to these guys. Very awesome to see. I enjoyed this video throughly.
These people really show the strengths of humanity. Community and intelligence
Possibly the best video EVER! Love the content. This dude does what others only dream of! Am a fan!
Stumbled upon your channel and hands down you have the best traveling channel in all of CZcams. Nobody can compare with your blatant respect for people all across the world and your understanding towards other people and the way they live. I respect you and applaud you.
Just found this channel bc i fell down the rabbit hole of different cultures, and this by far is one of the best! Bc you actually get in there and interact, and you don’t just stand there with a camera shoved in their face 💜 they all are so beautiful!
I can't believe you didn't know you were going to be able to stay there or not and they end up taking your motorcycles all the way back to the city for you these people are amazing and open and friendly it's incredible. Think of how fearful of others back home it's incredible
Very enjoyable. Great people, makes you feel right at home. No need to leave Michael. You fit right in.
I am from Indonesia, I am very impressed with your journey in the Congo forest, and I am amazed by the people there, they are very friendly and respectful of guests who come, and by watching your video I see life in other parts of the world, especially Congo, thank you🙏
You put together a fantastic documentary! You have fluid communication, fearlessness, and amazing repertoire with the locals you encounter. I look forward to more of your adventures.
I love these videos. The people are beautiful inside and out. They’re pure untouched by the world.
that is the best youtube video i've seen so raw and the go-pro climbing scene was outstanding !
This makes me happy .. so beautiful to see that humans can still give and share real love without seeking rewards in return
The ONLY thing I was fearing was how everyone was walking barefoot through the jungle !😭😭
You gotta practice that first. It takes a couple years to get hobbit feet, but that mud feels so damn good between your toes 😆🐉
@@fearlessandfar Super impressive 👍🏽
@@fearlessandfar I haven't watched the full video yet but I'm honestly surprised your foot didn't get impaled by a broken log or stung by a water bug yet.
Ive been at work for 5 hours today ans ur channel is all ive been watching. I love the raw uncut footage. Ita a beautiful thing. Keep it ❤
This channel is truly one of the best things I ever seeen in CZcams keep going on Ma G you are the real top g
Being an Anthropology student,i am just in love with your videos, info's, the feeling, the chills and your vibe ; i just cant stop smiling as the video plays by. Your videos are worth a lot of info's. Thankyou for your content !! ❣️
Thanks for the videos! Brings back great memories! I grew up as a missionary kid in Cameroon for 16 years and loved it!!! Africa is a very special place with amazing people. I never experienced anxiety or panic attacks until I moved back to the U.S. I was happy and content in Africa and had great health and was very physically fit. The forests you go to are similar to the ones I hunted in. I once shot an 8 foot long green mamba with my pellet gun just like the one in your video. Living in such a place I was rarely bored and was always surrounded by loving people. Were there dangers? Sure but every place has dangers. I felt myself there and really enjoyed Africa and it’s people!
You can't disrespect the rare green mambas like that bruv. Let the mambas be. Your blessed to have mambas where you live and your just gonna shoot them like that?
@@Mothobius It is a part of the culture there and food that the people eat just like in the video above.
@@lexluthor8539 how does culture make a difference
@@Mothobius people gotta eat
@@ProfessorMM yes but snakes are not worth eating for many reasons.
1. Barely any meat
2. Can be dangerous if the snake is venomous
3. Snakes need to be respected and feared and not harmed.
4. Easier to eat something else
This channel is awsome. I've always been very fascinated with Africa and its definitely a bucket list place to visit with a guide.
