That's the worst thing about the desert...cactus. Brush up against one and it'll be sticking you for weeks. At least the thorns in the jungle stop stabbing you once you get out of them...and don't secretly ride on you waiting for you to sit down or lean against something just right.
I’ve lived in Arizona and done desert and mountain trekking. I currently live in the Pacific Northwet and while it’s not quite jungle it’s pretty damn close in places during summer. I much preferred Arizona despite water and shelter being way easier to come by here. On the other hand we have bears and elk which mean a real bad day if they’re in a bad mood. Arizona has rattlers, Gila monsters and such but generally you can see them from farther away than a big mammal in the woods. But yeah, know your turf as well as you can beforehand so you avoid nasty surprises.
To your benelli m4 comment. My grandfather was a marine platoon sergeant in the south pacific in WW2. His preferred weapon was a 12 gauge. He was issued wax paper shells at first which he kept wrapped in oiled cotton to keep them from swelling in the jungle. Eventually he was supplied with full length brass shells. Pre plastic.

11:11 I was a missionary for two years in Sierra Leone. I had a 3 liter CamelBak. A few times during dry season, my CamelBak went dry around 1 pm (we are out the door by 9am) bought a 1.5 liter bottle, got home and drank another .75 liter of water and my pee was still the color of honey. How much water you need I think would largely depend on knowing the limits of your own body. How do you find your limits? I suppose practice, practice, practice.
When in high UVlight keep skin covered so u don’t sweat out ur fluids and get turned into a dry sponge, also u have to have an apple or something to eat that has electrolyte or ur body won’t absorb water and u just stay thirsty even if u drank 10 liters u have to have that electro lyte
@@BBLphilosopher Sierra Leoneans use a lot of salt in their diet. Electrolytes aren’t a problem. The 110 degree days with 90% humidity is the problem. And I have large pores, I sweat a lot. There were a few weeks where the nights were just as bad. No electricity, no running water, no wind, when I’d wake up there’d be my shape in the bed made out of sweat. Oh, and the dust! We’d have to wear white shirts and ties, my shirt would be soaked by the end of the day, olí could literally ring it out. There’s so much dust in the air, my shirts were red. Not everyone sweats the same rate.
I was an instructor at JWTC in Okinawa for three years. Everything he said is true times 10. The weather is terrible. The flora and fauna will kill you. Any enemy force that is occupying an area will be hard to see. Typical engagement distance is 25 meters. Traps are easy to hide and hard to locate. Easily one of the worst environments to fight in if not trained for it.
Honestly NC is like a bipolar woman, she can't decide if it's a rainy day or a nice day or a completely miserable day, no matter what time of year it is. It can be 80 with 100% humidity in the winter just the same as in the summer, and can sleet/snow in the spring/summer too. It's kinda scary really, its got me convinced THEY are tampering with our weather. Just felt like I should state that cause there's probably some Carolinians out there right now like "I wish it was hot!" Or "I wish it would start raining!"
I’d be laughing, but my Nephew, who’s a Senior Chief in a Navy EOD Unit just got his Tour of Duty on GUAM extended for another year. Stuff’s getting Complicated.
Don’t take it too literally. Guam is trying to bolster forces all around. For example Marine EOD is trying to establish a presence there too and there’s potential for more peeps from Oki making their way to stay in Guam. The entire military is in a big reconstruction period since we have no active combat zones for conventional troops
I was a conscript in the Brazillian millitary. I've had the luck to be trained by an SF guy who is speciallized in jungle warfare (we focus on that a lot in Brazil) and the main thing I got from it is MOVE SUPER SLOW or dont move at all. Its super easy to see movement in the jungle, also camoflage is suuuper effectice, in an exercise me and my buddys managed to sneak super close to the instructor and it would have been fatal to them. He even used that to point out how stale and slow jungle combat is, because a team of conscripts that was 7-8 months into training could take out a team that he, an SF guy was leading very easily. He did ask our leader what he did and we just didnt do much, we just lied in wait, and when we saw them we just crawled to some better cover. Its so easy to ambush people in thick jungle, if you are prone and have good camo there is no way a patrol will see you until they are right on top of you, but in the other hand the one waiting to ambush can see people patrolling standing up and hear their noite from very far away.
Not to see movement most of the times, because the vegetation may be thick and if so it will limit your field of view, but actually to be hard for someone to listen, because once you get used to that environment, everything that sounds different than natural you can notice pretty far away, even before actually see it, so you would aware everyone if you move fast making a lot of unnatural noises.
I always find it funny that people make fun of marines intelligence, but when it comes to talking about training related topics their always serious, clear, and straight to the point. Almost like there's a time and place for the tism.

This is just amazing. It's one of the very best episodes you've done. I haven't learned this much from a single video ever before. Thank you. Kegan is awesome, BTW.
I did my JWT a fair few years ago but the key aspects I remember are: 1. You never pass a water source without drinking what you are carrying and refilling 2. The enemy can easily be within 20m so no talking or noise, hand signals only, get your stink on so no deoderant or soap. 3. Navigation and radio comms are an absolute nightmare so your map to ground better be perfect. 4. Keep your weapon, crotch and feet clean as much as possible. 5. Dry clothes bagged for sleeping in, wet and sweaty clothes for the day 6. It is the purest form of soldiering, incredibly hard but excellent skill training.
Technically the US does have some jungles; the Great Smokey Mountains, for example, are considered a “temperate rainforest”. And let me tell you, as a native of the area, when it’s been pouring rain, the fog is hanging in the mountains and everything is flush with dense vegetation of every shade of green imaginable, it doesn’t look far off from a jungle at all.
One of the best and most grueling jungle warfare school is taught by the French Foreign Legion in French Guiana and they have an international jungle training course called JAGUAR is also organized for foreign soldiers within the CEFE that lasts 8 weeks .
9:00 Weather on May 21st, 2023 (I picked one random day) in Taipei: 87.4F, 72%, WS 1.6 fps. You do not simply cool down without a cold shower or air-conditioned room. And I haven't even picked August.
Where are we? Fubar island. Looks like a stealth jungle sir! ... drops you in landlocked desert instead. Carrier taskforce heads to extra-dry dock for repairs due to contact with enemy sandcastle.
Jungle warfare lives completely rent free in my brain. My favorite LARP sessions are putting on my tiger camo and web gear, CAR15, finding the densest forest on the hottest days of the year.
According to "With the Old Breed" and "A Helmet for my Pillow", you don't use rifles in the jungle. Gives your position away. You sneak up on them and use your K-BAR.
Greetings from Taiwan, don’t know if should be happy or worried to see Taiwan on map 3 seconds into the video. I am no military guy but did spend some time in low altitude mountains, I have to say that water is so important. Imagine it’s 38’c with 100% humidity, and you have to move across 3 valleys covered by branches and vines in full gear. Just a few kilometers would make you suffer. A man sweat a lot, like me, may need 3 to 4 liters to move 10 to 20km a day, then hydrate some more during the rest. But on the other hand, it’s not a good sign if we have to fight against the Chinese in the jungles. Most of the habitable area in Taiwan has been urbanized, we have to stop them on the beach or in the cities.
I think you would be better off with very light gear in Taiwan because of the density of the jungles and the drastic rise in elevation. Water purifiers because there is a lot of water sources. You are absolutely correct about the beaches and cities. I wouldn't want to be on Jin Men Island.
Didn't read the description, just clicked on when I saw a new Admin video. My brain tickled for a few seconds before I recognized Kagan, love the collab!!
That's why we have, "The Thing," or the M50 Ontos. As The Fat Electrician said, "when the trees started speaking veitnamese, they weren't doing it for very fucking long."
Awesome video by two awesome dudes. He's not lying about how gnarly habus are, a reptile keeper at the old Bronx Zoo in NY narrowly avoided a serious bite by sheer dumb luck. The snake's main fangs actually overshot his finger and the normal fangs got him instead, even found one stuck in his finger, he learned his lesson and never got tagged by a venomous snake again. Also, love your Px4, what comp/brake do you have on that cause it looks slick and sick.
11:30 Dude, TWO liters? Hell no. I’ve done jobs in Florida in the summer. I’ve hiked around in southern Mexico and Costa Rica. Not even rucking 50lbs. I’m bringing more like two gallons. I HATE humidity. It sucks hard. The bad way.
I’ve been reading “Good to Go” about Seal Team Two in Vietnam and man I’m glad I don’t have to do that. Also doing all of the night operations without night vision is nuts.
Admin, I personally loved the video. As a former soldier I never had the pleasure of being in the jungle. My AO was desert. So I found this very interesting. Kegan seems like a cool dude subbed to your channel man thanks for the info nice job explaining it Barney style thanks guys.
I've lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for the last 16 year's. Been working, playing, and hunting in the jungle here the whole time! Best jungle rifle, mini-14 tactical (5.56). LOVE IT!
Well I was going to continue watching your video but not now .. that Devil Dog you have with you is covering everything I've already learned at camp lejeune and Oki. I was just sitting here thinking why am I watching this?. 😂
@@AdministrativeResults here is a fun fact for you I am actually sitting on the toilet while I'm responding to you right now 😂 Note to self,no more circle k burritos..
You know what brother, I’m glad I’m not the only one that has smooth brain moments every once in a while. I consider you a smart man, so I’m glad I’m not alone out there. I get it, when you get so focused in on a conversation or one particular part sometimes the question just comes out lol. Keep up the good work.
Nice content! One correction: humidity does not make you to sweat more, the sweat just evaporates slower. In the dry and warm environment you will loose more water but notice it less. Sweating a lot will bring other issues though, like a really bad rash. And 4 liters of water per person for 2 days is nothing, in the desert 6 liters will be your minimum.
Southern/Coastal Georgia, Florida, Coastal Alabama, Louisiana, Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands...lots of places with thick underbrush (jungle or jungle like) all year long that usually have high humidity, lots of heat, bugs and rain.
Jungle warfare mixed with drones will bring about the comeback of shotguns as necessary kit. Perhaps even the return of the Aa-12 or the usa-12 or some other fullsemi shotties.
Pretty sure they’d just buy more Benelli M4’s for the Marines and give them turkey loads to drop drones with. If they’re already relatively Marine proof, I doubt the Benelli’s going to choke in the jungle.
South Florida is its own monster. Jungle tactics can apply, but theres a mixture of swamp, palmetto thicket, hammock, and forest that I dont think is anywhere else in the world. Personally i think thered have to be a completely new school of doctrine for SoFlo alone
@@keirosen the fields of saw palmetto, the thickets of Everglades palm (which are also covered in little saw teeth), the gators, mosquitoes the size of your thumb, water moccasins. Everything in the Everglades is either trying to eat you or stab you.
@@keirosen I've only ever seen them three separate times. One on a service road about 100 yards away (saw it through binoculars). As soon as it heard the motor come down the road, it crossed back into the sawgrass. Panthers are usually pretty skittish (airboats, cars, big groups, loud noises) but I wouldn't wanna be walking around out there at night, that's for sure. They tend to stalk from tree lines or where the water is shallow enough and/or there's enough cover for them to ambush. Again, I reiterate, no one should go walking those service roads at night. At least not without buddies, a floodlight, and a rifle.
@7:00 Some embarrassingly high-ranked Marine has definitely considered weaponizing venomous snakes at some point, I bet the US mil has at least some experience air-transporting snakes. Not a dumb question.
Those of us who have done patrols with the PI Marines in the Philippines during the rebel attacks or have been stationed in a Jungle base like Schwab etc. Jungle warfare bites both literally and figuratively. Jungle is badness man.
I was in okinawa back in 2019 to 2020 with 4th Mar Reg on camp schwab. was in jungle warfare training center as a comm marine saw a bunch of guys come through for the training. I never went through the training that the guys came up there, but I got to hike the area, and it was beautiful and definitely hard to travel if you weren't prepared for it.
It may not technically be a jungle but the Appalachian wilderness in summer is extremely thick and you could probably apply much of this to that environment.
"The biggest horror of fighting in the Pacific is that the swarms of mosquitoes will fly off with your rifle while pulling an impersonation of Count Vrad the Dlacula" - Some Asian dude, probably
Besides Hawaii, there are other areas in the country that can give you a Jungle-like training experience. I did almost my ROTC training in the thick woods of Southern Georgia and Alabama. During the Summer, it’s close to being in a real jungle.
Gearwise, we operated wearing rainboots (yes those boots) and a chest rig plus our pack. Those "high speed low drag" gears like helmets plate carriers are only worn in garrisons
Read Larry Chambers' books about his tours in Vietnam as a LRRP. Death in the Jungle is a great start. Gary Linderer's books are awesome, as well. They served on the same team occasionally.
A video in the forests of PA and the usage of ghille suits would be dope. Ive heard theres a talking balaclava Mountaineering in the caves and hills here, drinking bats and eating his beer. Allegedly.
There are tropical jungles near Phoenix AZ. From Apache Junction head down the Apache Trail towards Tortilla Flats. When you get to the Canyon Lake Marina, looks for a trail off to your right called the Boulder Canyon Trail. Follow that trail south until it starts to break back towards the West, and at that point look for a tiny trail heading down due South. Follow that little trail and you'll end up in a valley, a lush green tropical valley complete with tree frogs and lizards, it's literally a tropical jungle. Use to take the kids from Apache Junction Middle School there on field trips. Oh, and no, you're not going to find the Lost Dutchman Mine there, that's off the Peralta Trail...not even close...oh, and in the valley, you will get wet.
I’ve spent a decent amount of time doing hard work outdoors on Okinawa in gear, not Marine levels for sure but the heat and humidity is no joke and neither are the snakes or cliffs. Beautiful island full of history and fun though.
The jungle did not in fact have as much fun and games as Guns N' Roses promised.
I mean they also said we're gonna die.

I did my JWT a fair few years ago but the key aspects I remember are:
1. You never pass a water source without drinking what you are carrying and refilling
2. The enemy can easily be within 20m so no talking or noise, hand signals only, get your stink on so no deoderant or soap.
3. Navigation and radio comms are an absolute nightmare so your map to ground better be perfect.
4. Keep your weapon, crotch and feet clean as much as possible.
5. Dry clothes bagged for sleeping in, wet and sweaty clothes for the day
6. It is the purest form of soldiering, incredibly hard but excellent skill training.
i read that some guys in Vietnam would wear pantyhose under their pants to keep leeches off of them
@@sonar357 Yeah we wore lycra cycling shorts. Not ideal but better than getting leeches down there.
Technically the US does have some jungles; the Great Smokey Mountains, for example, are considered a “temperate rainforest”. And let me tell you, as a native of the area, when it’s been pouring rain, the fog is hanging in the mountains and everything is flush with dense vegetation of every shade of green imaginable, it doesn’t look far off from a jungle at all.
It also has Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, the US Virgin Islands 🇻🇮, Hawaii, and some other pacific islands
@@prgamer241 Also Southern part of Florida, Miami, homestead and everglades are "tropical" climates
Can confirm, I live 10 mi. from the entrance to the smokies, it gets miserable in kit during the summer.
@@danielkantor5693yes but that’s all flat
The Olympic rain forest is pretty gnarly. Would love to train there with the boys😂
One of the best and most grueling jungle warfare school is taught by the French Foreign Legion in French Guiana and they have an international jungle training course called JAGUAR is also organized for foreign soldiers within the CEFE that lasts 8 weeks .
Drafted... the press gang would have to face the jungles of Appalachia.
lol was looking for this comment!
9:00 Weather on May 21st, 2023 (I picked one random day) in Taipei: 87.4F, 72%, WS 1.6 fps. You do not simply cool down without a cold shower or air-conditioned room. And I haven't even picked August.
We're a whole grid off classic 😂
Where are we? Fubar island. Looks like a stealth jungle sir! ... drops you in landlocked desert instead. Carrier taskforce heads to extra-dry dock for repairs due to contact with enemy sandcastle.
Jungle warfare lives completely rent free in my brain. My favorite LARP sessions are putting on my tiger camo and web gear, CAR15, finding the densest forest on the hottest days of the year.

Ozark mountains in Summer are like jungles. I have been to Thailand and Malaysia and apart from the animals the density of vegetation ia similar
Boy I can't wait to figure out why military vehicles are being painted green again.
lol I can wait. Being 25 and Australian is like prime time for being mc graped in the bum for being thrown into said awful scenario.
The Jungle is Neutral by Freddie Spencer Chapman is an excellent read for anyone spending time there.
That was on the required reading list for 1st SFG.
The Zoomers yearn for the jungles...
I’m in the middle of a Pacific rewatch so you chose a great time to release this.
My cousins that would have existed if it weren’t for .45 ACP would know a lot about this subject.
According to "With the Old Breed" and "A Helmet for my Pillow", you don't use rifles in the jungle. Gives your position away. You sneak up on them and use your K-BAR.
Greetings from Taiwan, don’t know if should be happy or worried to see Taiwan on map 3 seconds into the video.
I am no military guy but did spend some time in low altitude mountains, I have to say that water is so important. Imagine it’s 38’c with 100% humidity, and you have to move across 3 valleys covered by branches and vines in full gear. Just a few kilometers would make you suffer. A man sweat a lot, like me, may need 3 to 4 liters to move 10 to 20km a day, then hydrate some more during the rest.
But on the other hand, it’s not a good sign if we have to fight against the Chinese in the jungles. Most of the habitable area in Taiwan has been urbanized, we have to stop them on the beach or in the cities.
I think you would be better off with very light gear in Taiwan because of the density of the jungles and the drastic rise in elevation. Water purifiers because there is a lot of water sources. You are absolutely correct about the beaches and cities. I wouldn't want to be on Jin Men Island.
I was building these before they started using them, I love em, they're an amazing tool and toy to have, fpv is a blast
Air-evacing snakes is an old Marine Corp tradition.
How else do they get snakes for blood drinking? Thanks PETA.
@@ScarriorIII They feed the blood of Marines to snakes? That's pretty hardcore, and kinda messed up...
I heard thar once a rattlesnake bit Chesty Puller, after three days of intense pain an agony, the snake finally died.
In a jungle environment you’ll be needing more than a gallon of water per day. A couple liters won’t cover two days
Not gonna lie those Business Insider videos got me putting together a jungle rig too 😂😂
Didn't read the description, just clicked on when I saw a new Admin video. My brain tickled for a few seconds before I recognized Kagan, love the collab!!
Everyone is badass until the bushes and trees start speaking Vietnamese.
Or Ewok....😉
The trees can’t be harmed if the Lorax is armed.
If your nearest bush is speaking Vietnamese, you might have questions…..
That's why we have, "The Thing," or the M50 Ontos. As The Fat Electrician said, "when the trees started speaking veitnamese, they weren't doing it for very fucking long."
@@Darknight0781 And if the roof starts speaking Korean?
Awesome video by two awesome dudes. He's not lying about how gnarly habus are, a reptile keeper at the old Bronx Zoo in NY narrowly avoided a serious bite by sheer dumb luck. The snake's main fangs actually overshot his finger and the normal fangs got him instead, even found one stuck in his finger, he learned his lesson and never got tagged by a venomous snake again. Also, love your Px4, what comp/brake do you have on that cause it looks slick and sick.
Boys follow you for the tactical ints and tricks but men like me?
We follow you for the spicy memes.
11:30 Dude, TWO liters? Hell no. I’ve done jobs in Florida in the summer. I’ve hiked around in southern Mexico and Costa Rica. Not even rucking 50lbs. I’m bringing more like two gallons. I HATE humidity. It sucks hard. The bad way.
I’ve been reading “Good to Go” about Seal Team Two in Vietnam and man I’m glad I don’t have to do that. Also doing all of the night operations without night vision is nuts.
Admin, I personally loved the video. As a former soldier I never had the pleasure of being in the jungle. My AO was desert. So I found this very interesting. Kegan seems like a cool dude subbed to your channel man thanks for the info nice job explaining it Barney style thanks guys.
That frog skin camo 🤌🏼
I've lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for the last 16 year's. Been working, playing, and hunting in the jungle here the whole time! Best jungle rifle, mini-14 tactical (5.56). LOVE IT!

Sounds like infantry school in Savannah Georgia during the summer.
Nice content! One correction: humidity does not make you to sweat more, the sweat just evaporates slower. In the dry and warm environment you will loose more water but notice it less. Sweating a lot will bring other issues though, like a really bad rash.
And 4 liters of water per person for 2 days is nothing, in the desert 6 liters will be your minimum.
make an arctic training video where you just tell people to not eat snow for 30 minutes straight youre so funny and cool
Southern/Coastal Georgia, Florida, Coastal Alabama, Louisiana, Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands...lots of places with thick underbrush (jungle or jungle like) all year long that usually have high humidity, lots of heat, bugs and rain.
Jungle warfare mixed with drones will bring about the comeback of shotguns as necessary kit. Perhaps even the return of the Aa-12 or the usa-12 or some other fullsemi shotties.
I think that would only work on non tropical jungle
Won't work
@@paivajcm true, Drones aren't suitable for almost all jungle and semiauto shotgun would jammed up
Pretty sure they’d just buy more Benelli M4’s for the Marines and give them turkey loads to drop drones with. If they’re already relatively Marine proof, I doubt the Benelli’s going to choke in the jungle.
@@Verdha603 but not in tropical jungle
It’s awesome to see Kagan branching out and doing collabs with guntube. Hope this is a trend for him
As a lifelong south floridian, my time has come
South Florida is its own monster. Jungle tactics can apply, but theres a mixture of swamp, palmetto thicket, hammock, and forest that I dont think is anywhere else in the world.
Personally i think thered have to be a completely new school of doctrine for SoFlo alone
@@keirosen That would be neat tbh especially in the everglades
@@keirosen the fields of saw palmetto, the thickets of Everglades palm (which are also covered in little saw teeth), the gators, mosquitoes the size of your thumb, water moccasins.
Everything in the Everglades is either trying to eat you or stab you.
@@Khan.WrathOf the panthers. When you see one a health bar appears
@@keirosen I've only ever seen them three separate times. One on a service road about 100 yards away (saw it through binoculars). As soon as it heard the motor come down the road, it crossed back into the sawgrass. Panthers are usually pretty skittish (airboats, cars, big groups, loud noises) but I wouldn't wanna be walking around out there at night, that's for sure.
They tend to stalk from tree lines or where the water is shallow enough and/or there's enough cover for them to ambush. Again, I reiterate, no one should go walking those service roads at night. At least not without buddies, a floodlight, and a rifle.
No jungle in Arizona but it has a Bagdad and that helicopter at 15:23 the one with the stache could take out any number of drones, just look at it!

HELLL YEEEEEEEEEES WHAT A DUO!!!! By far one of your best videos!!! You should have LT Kagan on more often!
Those of us who have done patrols with the PI Marines in the Philippines during the rebel attacks or have been stationed in a Jungle base like Schwab etc. Jungle warfare bites both literally and figuratively. Jungle is badness man.
Especially in South East Asia due to their climate
I was in okinawa back in 2019 to 2020 with 4th Mar Reg on camp schwab. was in jungle warfare training center as a comm marine saw a bunch of guys come through for the training. I never went through the training that the guys came up there, but I got to hike the area, and it was beautiful and definitely hard to travel if you weren't prepared for it.
It may not technically be a jungle but the Appalachian wilderness in summer is extremely thick and you could probably apply much of this to that environment.
Honestly, dolly sodds is so damn thick and wet it might qualify ….. as your mom!!🤯
Wait wtf 0:01 who is admins editor? Based Clannad reference or meme?! Since I dont remember that scene 😂
"The biggest horror of fighting in the Pacific is that the swarms of mosquitoes will fly off with your rifle while pulling an impersonation of Count Vrad the Dlacula" - Some Asian dude, probably
The "red sun in the sky" song at the beginning segment after the skit is gold.
Besides Hawaii, there are other areas in the country that can give you a Jungle-like training experience. I did almost my ROTC training in the thick woods of Southern Georgia and Alabama. During the Summer, it’s close to being in a real jungle.
Southern part of Florida is basically jungle

7:08 me when im zoning out during the class my NCO is giving me in the field while im picking at the grass
There are tropical jungles near Phoenix AZ. From Apache Junction head down the Apache Trail towards Tortilla Flats. When you get to the Canyon Lake Marina, looks for a trail off to your right called the Boulder Canyon Trail. Follow that trail south until it starts to break back towards the West, and at that point look for a tiny trail heading down due South. Follow that little trail and you'll end up in a valley, a lush green tropical valley complete with tree frogs and lizards, it's literally a tropical jungle. Use to take the kids from Apache Junction Middle School there on field trips. Oh, and no, you're not going to find the Lost Dutchman Mine there, that's off the Peralta Trail...not even close...oh, and in the valley, you will get wet.
