“When I have a worthy suffering, I can suffer for a longgg time” amen to that
Staying awake for days is a living hell that’s very hard to explain
The hallucinations are awful. At least in my experience. Even closing my eyes I see shit. Very scary after day 4/5 😬
@@PS-en7wnwhat things have you seen?
It's not even healthy either. It's just stupid and doing it more times doesn't even help you get used to it for next time (as I assume they want to train it for real life situations)
@@raymondqiu8202It’s all a mind game.. The no sleep feature goes with keeping a person cold and sandy 24-7 it will break you. After you’re broken are you going to stay and dig or go home. It all needs to be tested to the extreme it’s the only way
Can you even train for that?
Sleep deprivation is the single most difficult part of parenting no one talks about
Underrated comment!!! Agreed 100%
When my youngest was born, I had multiple anxiety attacks because I was so desperate for sleep. She was up every hour on the hour, every single night for months. Came to find out she has a dairy allergy and her stomach was constantly upset from the formula. I don’t wish that on anyone, seriously.
my youngest is 14 years old and I've never gone back to previous sleep patterns, I also have real insomnia, I go a few days with no sleep, during sleep cycles - I sleep max 3 hours a night.
the background and lighting - wowzer
almost through that was real though
Crazy Goggins did 3 of them 🔥 beast. Props to all seals! Y’all are animals
Goggins: I missed the part where thats my problem.
Didn’t Goggins fail his first attempt?
@@slantythecamel yes
I love how well spoken he is. I would love to sit down with a ex-seals or spec ops guy and just have a conversation
I know the pain brother. Had constant two week, operations with little to no sleep in Afghanistan. There were days where i was so tired i would hope to just step on an IED lol
I remembered I wanted to be a seal and came across Goggins when he talked about his time as a Navy. But my recruiter told me I couldn't be a seal because I was a woman. Still hearing these perspectives are still so cool and interesting to hear. Being a Navy kid, I'll always still think about how it could have been. Love Mr.Ballen's and Chris's videos
This title is so funny, MrBallen in Dutch translated is something like MrCojones
No way! I just heard he talked about his seal experience 6 mths ago and I find a 6 hour old video? Synchronicity at its finest
What? They literally have nothing to do with each other.....
Badasses that our country really need to look up too
Sick backdrop Chris
Friend of mine just completed her Marine training. I was saying how that type of training requires a special “messed up” mind where you can just DEAL with the discomfort and be ok. Normal everyday people wouldn’t do that. But that’s what you will need when your buddy got shot in combat and you have to go rescue him when normal people would just let him bleed out, out of fear or lack of guts.
I only did the Einzelkämpferlehrgang 20 years ago during my officer's training in the German Armed Forces, which I'm sure is just a walk in the park when compared with SEAL Hell Week.
Nevertheless, those 4 weeks of pain and sheer misery still motivate me to go through any form of hardship that normal life throws at me, because of 'been there, done that'.
It's amazing what a human body can endure if the mind is stubborn enough.
I was surprised to hear that in buds, if you’re married you get to basically go home at night and sleep in your own bed. I always thought they all stayed together until the end of BUDS
This is awesome. So glad that I subbed recently!
Now do Delta Force Selection lol. There’s a reason they call it “The Long Walk.”
0:15 I asked him on Twitter you know what was like one of the hardest parts of being a Navy SEAL and he said the water is very cold LOL. Honestly he's such a cool dude like he's giving me permission to use certain things like it's pretty cool like to take his time to just talk to a random person like me I was watching his channel before it blew up and I also asked him like how crazy is the change you know from going from like 10,000 subscribers to Millions and you know he liked it and he was like it's insane he's a really chill dude. That's why I like when he talks about him having trouble and being mean it's like I don't see that I can't see him being a dick I mean I've never met him or hung out with him but it's just really hard to see because anytime that I have had an interaction with them it's just extremely nice so I'm glad he has success
6:06 is there any more or are there only two videos with Mr. Ballen
"my friend alex" lmao captain sinbad's video is echoing in my head rn
Sleep deprivation was my experience with the police academy but it wasn’t this extreme. Occasionally we would have a night shoot go until 2300 and have to be back at 0500. Only bad for me because I lived an hour away from my academy so I would get a max of 2 hours of sleep. They would always screw with us afterwards by forcing us to do PT first thing the next morning. Always thought that was dangerous and irresponsible.
You forgot about the cans of Copenhagen for the instructors
I have never been through SEAL training, but I reached a point of sleep deprivation that caused full on panic, fear, and hallucinations. I was talking to Rocky Balboa, and I would come in and out of reality. When i snapped back to reality for a minute, full-blown panic set in because I thought that I had permanently damaged my brain and that id be this way forever. I forced myself to go to sleep and i woke up completely fine... I think...
Anyways, this only took about 56 hours straight to cause this. So i question when people say they have stayed awake for 3 days straight or 72 hours and this didnt happen to them. Maybe im an oddball but it surely taught how important sleep is. Not to mention, I was very young and was on summer break. I was just trying to see how long I could stay awake.
When I was in college I was working in a factory for 60 hours a week usually. (Absolutely no less than 52, ever.) And i would get home at 1 am. Eat, shower, wash clothes, and would be in bed by 3am only to wake up at 6am. I did this for one full year and I got to the point where I could drift off to sleep standing. Also if youre like me and you have sleep paralysis, DO NOT deprive your sleep. It basically supercharges it.
5:30 I am sticking that on the wall.
This guy is a seal? Whooaaaa
Hes still mad about filling the instructors coffee and shit. 😅
If you have to drive 40 minutes both ways...why not stay closer to base for the week?
You don’t go home during hell week. He’s talking about before they even started
The background is fucking bonkers
Hell week? Completed it mate...
You've dated an irish woman then...
Alright Jay 😂
I didn’t realise you could live off site whilst doing buds?
Buds isn’t just hell week.
BUDS is 6 months
3:48 that's strange like mentally I made myself suffer for a very long time. I think it's because I had no self-worth and and there was kind of like a you know your voice inside your head you know you're worthless you're scumbag you're a loser why are you even here you shouldn't be here you should leave this place nobody wants you here anyways. I used to think like that as a child the first time I tried leaving this place I was in 4th grade and it wasn't until the age of 28 29 I think I had this just say stop and so anytime these negative thoughts would come into my head I would say stop and then I would think of something positive that I did for someone else in my life and I would continue to do this for 5 years then I would find things about myself that were positive so I think I finally got self-worth once I did the want for alcohol dropped off the want for other things dropped off. I never thought that I could ever control alcohol or beer because if I drink hard alcohol i blackout and I become someone else like it's bad but I always thought it was all or none like what nah says or AA says but for a year I didn't drink. Then one random day I'm walking down the street with my friend and there was a bar we went in I had one beer and I left. My brain was like by 12 pack by 12-pack by 12 pack and I kept saying no and eventually it stop and I was like holy shit I can control this. That was the first time I ever realized that I can actually not only put it down and just walk away forever but I can actually drink responsibly I never thought that would have been impossible in my life. I haven't drank since I think like last Memorial Day which is I don't know how long ago that is I don't count days. And I've been off of Fentanyl and H for over 9 years. So if you are a person that is struggling through substance abuse and you have possibly know self-worth and you tell yourself you're a loser know that you're not and you got to retrain your brain it's not easy but it is possible I guarantee you then everything else once you figure that out everything else kind of falls off I hope this helps someone out there
If you're living off base, how can they stop you sleeping? 🤔
During hell week he doesn’t get to go home. The instructors keep them up for 5 1/2 days during hell week.
2:22 -- Yeah, try patrolling day & night the Siachen glacier! The Indian Army does that daily, and has done that for decades! And not even the SOF. Just regular soldiers........
Are you trying to compare a regular Indian soldier and a navy seal?
@@18MikeMitchell18 Nope. Not "trying". Flat out saying it.🤣 That, an average Indian soldier serving at the Siachen glacier is better than an average SEAL.
And, y'know what? A *real* SEAL (unlike so many keyboard warriors) would agree.
Because they know that context is key & training is king!
@@shantanusapru you're out of your god damn mind.
@@18MikeMitchell18 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cope!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@shantanusaprulol no one coming to India for elite soldiers
Try having kids - my youngest kept me awake for 9 months 🐣🐥
Did you have to swim your kids through the cold pacific at night with great white sharks 😂
I think it’s wrong to call seals brutal. Yes they gotta eat but the pups are so so fcin cutie.
they let these guys live off base during BUD's ???? Thats actually surprising
With my father, I’ll bet my childhood was harder.
I don’t know why but I can’t see him as a navy seal, he doesn’t look like the type.
Nvm totally see it now.
What does the type look like to you?
that's the point
Are there any Navy SEALs who *haven’t* been on a podcast? 😆
Bro how many times are people going to make vids on buds lmao. Stg seals are media boys today more then ever before. PJ pipeline is way harder but no one talks about them. All buds is RASP with dive indoc and water. It's not some magical selection.
I hate those comments not bugs features, bro youre a podcaster, calm down
Dude, you lived 40 minutes away?! Well, there is your problem right there. You added another obsticle to BUDs training as if it weren't already difficult enough. Props to you!
kenyan boy scouts can survive at least 3 hell weeks. those mf are real tough
lol yea, we will see how they do in the freezing pacific waters with no sleep and perform their tasks
Embrace the suck.
What a pointless existence
Try working for a living.
For some reason I don't like his energy
Nobody asked .lol
Thanks for sharing
I have no respect for anyone who thinks that wearing his hat backwards makes him look 'cool'.
Go through hell week and say that.
🤓
I have no respect for anyone who thinks stupid insults in comments make them look hard 😂
K he don't care bout u either. Let him do it if he wants. We aren't his boss
He does look cool tho
