Fun fact from my MANY deployments 😂 everything in the "jungle" goes silent for us because they think of us as large predatory beBeasts. DEVIL DOGS DO IT BETTER 😂 this is why we'd have to infil days ahead of when our assignments were expected to be there..for the..everything 😂 to get used to us. Obviously it varies from biome to biome and I haven't been everywhere..even though it feels like I have. 😵‍💫CAMEL SPIDERS 🤢 No they don't "go after" humans 🤮makes ZERO difference at 3am and ones slowly inviting itself into your pants ( no means no ) and you can't move or make any noise because reasons. 😎 giga chads cry themselves to sleep too. Places where my unsolicited experiences were relevant. Somalia, Congo,Burma, WA state rain forest ( no assignments just live here and go play in the rain forest sometimes. Brazil, Columbia. Not just the "Jungle" but also Afghanistan wilderness is shockingly loud. Oh by the by baboons are ASSHOLES on purpose. They'll stay quiet right until the least opportune moment...for you..or me in this case..and the little fuckers seem to take joy in giving away your position. Not just once but like they're joining the enemy in the hunt. Every time you get a moment to catch your breath they'll start screaming and throwing poo and I kid you not POINTING!? FUCKING POINTING!? also they taste horrific. They need to go extinct. Them and the Demon spawn that are the Humboldt Squid. They hunt in packs like Wolves or Orca I suppose. Coming up from the inky depths of your worst nightmares at the witching hours ( which is of course the same time we're swimming in to an assignment. (Side note; the S.D.V are their own claustrophobic nightmare ,pitch black, FREEZING cold, not enough room to adjust your body. .and NOT A CLOSED SYSTEM !? so you still have to wear your drysuit and rebreather..WHYYY couldn't we have used the sea bobs?) Sorry..AND WHYYY SEAL delivery vehicle!? I didn't see any pansy ass Seals in there. .sorry.. Humboldt Squid- flashing up from the black Hell and those beaks take a silver dollar sized bite..okay off topic. Point being that the forest going silent isn't always a criptid sneaking up on you. it'sOften the biome noticing YOU are there. I LOVE THE CHANNEL ! We use it like a book club before the biofeedback PTSD sessions. To all- I hope that you and those you care for are happy, healthy, and safe. Semper Fidelis P.S.

Interesting note. The "dingo ate my baby" family has actually been vindicated. A few years back someone actually found the blood stained clothing of the child. Forensics identified it as the child taken and also verified that it was an animal attack, likely a dingo, that did consume the child. Its tragic in so many ways, from the loss of the child to the parents being prosecuted for murder and spending time in prison. It took decades to exonerate them and prove this is an actual thing, despite there being dozens of other attacks and fatalities in that same area attributed and confirmed to be dingos. But, just like the mcdonalds coffee lady, the media loves to whip up a frenzy of hate against anyone they can target. Old lesson, dont fear your enemies, they can only take your life. Fear the media, they can take your honor.

Aussie here who grew up in the outback. The reason its called The Red is its a Red Kangaroo, a species of Kangaroo. The largest of all Kangaroos and 7ft? Largest on redcord is juuuuust shy of that. Like 6ft 11 There are some 1 or 2 cop towns in Aus. Yes that is a Toyota, paused just as you asked looks like a 200 series Landcruiser, and likely is, though the 70s are more common through the centre (contains a ute, dual cab ute and troop carrier) most will be v8 diesels some use the more reliable much less powerful 1hz straight 6 diesel. Also a salt water crocodile runs more than fast enough, where you encounter them they will ambush you. Hell even 1mph or 1kmh is more than enough if you dont see them until its too late. Also if its on mud you will be slower. Edit: so i dont keep having to re edit this if anyone has any questions regarding Australia, the outback, "our" iconic vehicles etc just ask. Im an ex mechanic that grew up on farms and worked a lot in the outback, mostly the NT but also far north qld and wa. Now in SEQLD.

32:08 that happened to my dad. Except he wasn't drunk, just woke up one day to go to work and realized his arm didn't move. The only explanation doctors had was that something in the bed, like a bunched up blanket or something, had cut off the circulation in a specific way. Almost six months of sick leave and therapy for him and a new fear unlocked for me.

[@Archiver_Studio]

Was his arm amputated or did they manage to get it working again?

[@anum4776]

@@Archiver_Studio six months of physical therapy and the arm is working fine now. The nerve very, very slowly repaired itself. The arm wouldn't be amputated anyway just because you can't use it. Doctors are very reluctant to remove any bodyparts unless there's severe infection or gangrene. In my dad's case blood circulation was not damaged so there was no widespread tissue death, just the nerves that are responsible for hand movement.

[@Archiver_Studio]

@@anum4776 Oh that's good, usually whenever that happens Tissue death is to be expected, he sounds lucky

[@anum4776]

@@Archiver_Studio Googling "saturday night palsy" (also known as "wrist drop") comes up with: "With prompt treatment, full recovery is common if nerve damage is mild. If nerves are severely compressed for too long before treatment, some permanent weakness or functional impairment may remain. However, therapy often restores good hand and wrist use." My understanding of medical things is limited so take this with a grain of salt, but apparently wrist drop is not the same as your arm going numb from sleeping on it, but a more specific pressure on unfortunate spot (so no significant loss of blood flow). This would also explain why he didn't wake up or his body didn't try to correct the position in his sleep.

[@kelpossin8163]

My chem teacher in high school had something similar happen to her. When is was in her late teens she woke up one day to her arm numb and blue. Got to the hospital and they did surgery to save her arm. It was something to do with the structure of the artery/veins and her collarbone which pressed on them, leading to her arm beginning to die. She had a very noticeable scar on her chest/toward her left clavicle and chose to explain it to her students every year bc kids are assholes and talk a lot of shit.

Papa Ro... I dunno if you did that little Desert, Dessert, spelling lesson just to do you or because you realize that the majority of our high schoolers read at a fourth grade level, but thanks either way for being a great teacher through what you love.

I just started the video but I must share my information, there was an old TV show called Skippy about a friendly kangaroo, that's why they called him Skip and Rippy sounds like Skippy.

Thank you. Your comment deserves to be pinned with honour

I was once mugged by a large grey kangaroo in a camp ground. Had a nice sandwich I had made, walking back to my tent, big grey steps in front of me and grabs the front of my shirt near the neck. I was like "woah hay there" put my hands up, his eyes track the sandwich. I slowly put my hand forward, he grabs the sandwich, gave me the evil eye, and let me go. Now I am used to kangaroos, love em, have little wallabies that graze behind my house in the burbs here in TAS, but some kangaroos you just dont mess with.

[@happyjohn354]

I'm pretty sure there is an extinct predatory species of Kangaroo called procoptodon.

[@disappointedharpy]

I looked it up and it ate grasses and shrubs apparently. I was really looking forward to a predatory kangaroo.😢 The horrific part about them is that apparently they walked like humans do and didn't hop. Which is absolutely insane to think about, like imagine seeing an 8 foot tall kangaroo casually strolling towards you

[@toxi6836]

Survival tip I’ve been told. If you encounter a kangaroo and it wants to scrap, punch it in the face as hard as you can. Kangaroos believe that kicks do twice the punch damage, so if you punch it hard enough it will not want to fight you anymore. You won’t outrun it. If you don’t punch hard enough you better hope you have tranqs or a pew pew

I’m assuming they call it Rippy because “Ripper” is a slang term in Australia, usually for something/someone cool or awesome. Source: I played the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series growing up.

[@minecraftfox4384]

Rippy just sounds Australian to the marketing team. That's the reality of the bland name. "The Red" was probably already taken, and couldn't be used.

[@TheKrispyfort]

Rippy sounds like Skippy. And if that's not an obvious explanation you don't speak Australian-English as a first language

Oh I always knew Australia isn't the land for me. Not a huge fan of spiders or lizards. And then learned about kangaroos waiting in the middle of the water to lure their victims in and I knew I would be dead on day one. That's why you need all these checks before they let you in. So you don't just die as soon as you land and government have to bury you....

@5:30 heavily visually impaired here. I can't speak for everyone but its not accurate to say my other senses are stronger, it's more like my brain prioritizes smell and hearing over sight as my go to senses. It's weird.

[@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n]

Yeah comic books really did a number on understanding how we think you think. How do you actually perceive the world? I'm not some kind of super villain, I just want to understand things. Were you blind from birth? Do you dream? I'm confused, and I want to understand.

[@hernehaugen6878]

@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n I still have some limited ability to see, but even with my glasses any details farther than ten feet away disappear into a foggy haze. I'm not completely blind, and unfortunately I can't tell if my eyes were this bad from birth or just early childhood. I did suffer multiple head injuries as a child from growing up in violent environments, but I have no way of knowing if they contributed to my lack of sight. Elaborating on my earlier point about things turning into a haze after a certain distance, it's like seeing silhouettes. If I took off my glasses while looking at you, even if you were only a few feet away, your face would be replaced by a blank surface of skin with two dark spots for eyes and a line for your mouth. Not literally obviously but that's the difference my glasses make.

[@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n]

@@hernehaugen6878 well thankfully I'm not some kind of super-villain. So let's focus on your visual abilities. Can you imagine things? Or not , if not it's not your fault. I'm not a villain, I just want to understand.

[@discordiacreates6669]

​@@N0sf3r4tuR1s3nI'm pretty sure even fully blind people can imagine things, maybe not the way you do, but still very much can. Idk though... I can only see completely clearly a few inches away from my face when my glasses are off and I used to have the ability to visualize things in my mind in full color like an HD movie. I didn't, however, think planes were for some years and had never seen snow on distant mountains for around the first... Can't remember when I got my glasses, maybe around 10yo? I'm now mid 20s and only take my glasses off when I'm sleeping, bathing or on my phone (probably because I used to almost have to bury my nose in books to read them and I used to read A LOT so bad habit, ik, I also need wider frames). Can obviously still imagine things though, I lost the ability to visualize things for unrelated reasons and was likely born with poor vision

As someone who grew up in rural Australia, my small hometown only had one cop. The jail cells were used to house chickens at one point. If more cops were needed they'd come from a nearby town.

If this movie gets a sequel, they should add koalas. 23km/h running speed with 1-2m bounds up trees, sharp claws, the durability to fall off out of trees, and the ability to swim.
