  • The Amazon jungle. One of the world's most extensive and diverse ecosystems, spanning multiple countries in South America. It's also the Earth's most extreme and deadly environment. Yossi Ghinsburg, Kevin Gale, Marcus Stamm, and Karl Ruprechter descended into the depths of the jungle, seeking gold and adventure. For several days, they trekked onward, but dwindling food supplies caught up with them. Recognizing Marcus's inability to continue, the quartet made a tough choice to abort their journey and reassess. They held Marcus responsible, attributing their predicament to his reluctance to consume the wild game. They decided to split up, with Yossi and Kevin continuing on and Karl and Marcus heading back to civilization. This would have dire consequences for all as the expedition would turn into a disaster with all stranded and alone in the jungle, with slim survival chances.

    Give me the mountains, the desert, the forest, the snowpack landscape. Even the ocean, I'll take my chances in these places. There's something about this tropical jungle environment that terrifies me. Although I consider myself quite adventurous, I have no desire to explore the jungle. I can't even begin to imagine the horrors that Yossi must have endured, especially during the night when he was left wondering about the rustling in the foilage. The constant fear of creatures crawling or slithering over you while you sleep, the lurking threat of disease, and countless other dangers that could end your life. All of this Yossi confronted head on and miraculously survived. It's truly remarkable.

      It is truly remarkable what Yossi went through and miraculously overcame and survived! It would've been terrifying to experience and go through, plus that guy who was actually a fugitive. It's sad Marcus had bad feet and then vanished with that sketchy fugitive Karl guy. Have a good rest of your labor day!

      EXACT same mindset here. I’ve never been intrigued or interested whatsoever about the “jungle/rainforest” environment. IT’S THE CREATURES that inhabit it. Can’t really hurt you otherwise unless you’re talking about lack of clean water, etc. Chances of malaria via the hordes of mosquitos 24/7 are another CONSTANT no-no and NO-go for me. Too many things both silent and deadly are looking to ‘do you in’…THEN eat you.

      It's a cautionary tale. Don't go into the jungle as an inexperienced backpacker w/another inexperienced backpacker, just because he claims "there's gold in them thar hills!"
      I'm glad Yossi & Kevin survived and thank goodness for the good people of Las Paz because it wouldn't surprise me if Carl got out alive and slipped into obscurity, as opposed to raising the alarm for the others in his party, being a fugitive from justice.

    It would never occur to me to embark on a trip like this unless I had spent years learning and practicing extreme outdoor survival techniques. I'd also make sure I knew how to swim. Upon acquiring all the necessary skills and knowledge, I would then opt to stay out of the jungle.

    I‘ve spent quite some time in Bolivia and once went on a few weeks trip to Rurrenabaque which is mentioned in the video. I did a little bit of hiking but never strayed far from the edges of the jungle and always was accompanied by a local. I‘d never go alone deep into the jungle. Its abundance of life is equaled by the abundance of death, it‘s eat and get eaten, literally. The ants alone are terrifying ^^ and there‘s a looooot more to worry about. Even the locals don‘t venture into the forest, most of them just stay in the village the whole time. I met one crazy man who lived alone in the jungle, a few hours hike from the village, was kinda older guy but tough as leather, with a grip of stone. My friend who introduced me wanted to take me to visit but then I came down with Dengue fever so we never did it. Nobody mentioned disease carrying mosquitos yet? Very memorable experience.

These men went through so much and had to overcome even more given their situation. I think they made a movie about what these guys went through called The Jungle if I remember correctly. Needless to say the whole ordeal would be scary. I hope Yossi and Kevin are doing better today and I also hope the family of Marcus will find closure some day. I look forward to your next video!

    Sometimes these disasters are a result of just terribly bad luck - that was not the case here. Total morons, blinded by greed and ignoring the warnings of locals.
    That said, the rainforest is probably the last place I’d want to get lost. At least in the desert people can see you from above.

    • @ishmellow
      @ishmellow Před 10 měsíci +1

      Not much greed - to be honest they were looking for adventure, and given the time there's not really a way to tell the difference between "well this is a fun river" and "when I go here I'm truly stranded in the wilderness"

    This adventure was a bad idea from the get go! For Outdoor Disasters ( CZcamss best channel ) doing this story was a good idea! Simply put the adventure was poorly planned and ill conceived so it was no surprise the horrors they encountered during their journey and were very lucky to walk away with their lives except for the two who broke off and went it alone! They disappeared without a trace and I can only imagine what horror they encountered that ultimately took their lives! Another excellent story from this channel along with life lessons and tips as well as explanations for what this forest does for the planet! Thanks so much for sharing

The odds of finding a lost person in the Amazon are slim but the odds of finding your friend after you yourself being lost are lower than winning the powerball.

But no one could tell such a story, it was like a living hell!! So happy that they made it out. So sorry to Markus and his family. Not knowing what happened to him must have been very hard to deal with. I pray his last moments were quick and painless. This is true survival. 💙🙏🏽🩶🙏🏽🩵🙏🏽
