That was superb to watch! Unreal achievement
Do you think you'll ever use the suit foe creating more content for the channel, Forrest? Really hope so! Seeing Steve Backshall ( the British version of you! )a few years ago swim with Great Whites, Anacondas and Hippos was an incredible watch, so to see more of you doing the same would be insane!
I recently begun making RUclips videos. Does anyone have advice on how I can improve them?
@@EddieExploreslooks like you know already, you got over 5 k subs😂. Seriously, if you want more subs fast, you have to make interesting content with life risking POV, or something everyone else can't do, or show females on your channel 😂 in thumbnails and vids
The only thing I'm confused about is... The suit is absolutely amazing and lifesaving and life changing but my only confusion is all the GoPro cameras mounted to their heads. Those don't give off some form of electricity that they'd pick up on just as much as our human body? Or is it a completely different type of energy?
I don't want to downplay or even want anyone to think I'm criticizing Forrest's accomplishment and the crazy technology of the wetsuit at all.... But they are not the first ones to get in the water face to face with crocodiles. You have to watch the episode of River Monsters when Wade jumps in the water with crocodiles in just his briefs no shit at all no defense weapon and he gets right up to one touches it swims beside it and touches it many times. Now Wade said the only way he was able to accomplish this is he had to go when the water was colder and they are less active and aren't so aggressive or want to hunt when their blood is cooler as when the temperature of the water is very warm where he said there's no chance in hell he'd ever even think to jump in and swim with crocodiles because they'd most definitely attack and most likely kill him. I just thought maybe people would wanna go give that episode a watch. 💯 Forrest is still the fucking man though 💯💪💪
Mark is the embodiment of “cameraman never dies”.
He is the best perdon to talk from a script and make it not believeable at all. 😂 so bad.
😅
Man those shots were unreal. Your upright crocodile walk was spot on too 😂
Wow forest that’s awesome I’m ten years old and I watch wild times podcast every day your my inspiration
Damn. That generations steve irwin.
Probably not true, right?
@@AA-zv6yo crazy how the most inspirational people in the wildlife community tend to gravitate towards reptiles
10 years old piss off 😂
Kid dont go telling random people in a youtube comments section your age some of these people on here are chomos.
Swimming with crocodiles is absolutely insane! That wet suit is a game changer!! Steve Irwin would’ve loved this!!
true. RIP Steve
Except Steve backley has already been doing it..
@@stevelawson1388 first video I’ve seen of someone doing it. Respect to anyone that has the balls to get in water with a crocodile 🫡
Yess
@@stevelawson1388 yeah, lots of people have done it. Mostly wildlife photographers. Chris Gillette(I think his name is?) Got footage of him diving with an alligator, _and_ an American crocodile, only a few yards from each other. He's even dived with Nile crocs with hippos in the area, going under and between those mats of floating vegetation.
I am curious about this suit though and what(if any) role it plays in how wildlife perceive us, or just getting closer to them.
This man is a built different! “I lost friends!” Proceeds to swim with one, absolute legend , love to content and passion big dog 🙏
Absolutely incredible even as just a viewer-I can only imagine how breathtaking the experience was. Thank you to everyone doing the work for these outstanding feats!
Man I cannot believe this doesn’t have more views. Definitely felt some early 2000s discovery channel GOLD vibes but in a modern day feel to it.
I think the audience would love small subtitles naming the creatures also involved in the film. Many of these viewers will come to learn about and appreciate the animals featured in your videos
You can't believe it doesnt have more views? It was literally just released on a YT channel with 14k subs. 🤦
@@DelcoTrash i think they mean like in the millions type, and I can't lie I agree with them. When I saw the views, I was really surprised that this dosen't have like 1M or like 2.5M views or more. Good quality video, the amazing suit technology and just swimming with crocs overall? Give this video some time, and one day the algorithm will show this masterpiece.
Damn dude, you're crazy lol
That was awesome to watch, i really liked the reef shots and seeing the fish be so calm and acting normally while you were around, that opens up so many possibilities for future filming, truly great work!
There are no words to describe how incredible this was
this is some mind blowing shit had to leave a thumbs up. revolutionary
@@Nigels_Wrld I know right
The most terrifying part of this was seeing the croc underwater walking on its back legs 😂 I love those Hex suits
Beautiful up close shots of these modern day dinosaurs. Whats more is how advanced our technology is getting in allowing us too get up this close to wildlife.
This is awesome! You're definitely the most interesting person out there. Love the podcast and these videos. Thank you for the great humor and attitude!
So happy you finally have your own animal channel! I was hoping this would happen 😁
This stuff is just to good, such nice explaining of detail and importance of preserving wildlife 💪🏻 you are my hero!!
Nah.... That's an American Croc. Try that to a Nile croc or any Saltwater Croc from Southeast Asia, That be a different story.
it has been done ruclips.net/video/G1eiKVDKvkE/видео.html&ab_channel=CNN
There’s diving videos with Nile crocs.
They don’t attack under the water the same way. Weird cuz they eat fish.
Try northern Australia Salt water croc wouldn't turn out well
R you correcting one of the most publicly respected biologists
Bull shit they don’t attack under water 🤣 there’s 2 attacks just last year from divers off Australia’ both grabbed on their head
I've never heard of attols until today and I'm amazed! Also can't believe how docile those crocodiles were! Awesome video
This is literally an amazing video that was incredibly explained and shot. Thank you Forrest for always producing and never failing to deliver on these videos. I know this channel will blow up soon! Keep it up!
Peter is fat by the way
The croc footage towards the end was profound. Left an emotional response. They really are stunning creatures when in their natural surroundings. Congrats.
Why does his friend sound like he’s in an infomercial 😂
*Flys to New Zealand*
*Gets wetsuits made then flies to Mexico to see Saltwater crocodiles*
Australia: 🤔
IKR 😅
@@joquin4618 like the extra $$ and time when you could've flown 2/3 hours to Australia 😂
there is no saltwater crocodile in Americas
These are American Crocodiles. They are the only other species that tolerates prolonged exposure to salt water. I've heard one or two people use the phrase "American Saltwater Crocodile" to describe them but I've never seen any scientific source that used that term.
Oddly enough, American Crocodiles are among the most placid crocodiles and even crocodilians overall. I'm not saying they're safe to interact with in the wild. But they tend to be shy and relatively less inclined to bite, especially compared to Salties, Niles and Cubans. So this was a WAY better choice than flying from New Zealand to Australia or trying this in his boyhood home in Africa
I Don't think anybody would try this with a saltwater crocodile old world crocs are no joke
This was AMAZING to watch. Seeing the enjoyment you get to experience after all the good you have done for the world is truly deserved. You are an inspiration to everyone (especially me of course😂)
Wow, thank you!
@@ForrestGalante No way you replied. That’s made my day i won’t lie! I actually made an educational account on instagram because of your inspiration on me. I plan to do what you do in the future and have just started college in animal biology as a step further. Thanks for replying!
Absolutely epic Forrest. The world needs more men like you doing skits shit for the better of humanity. You got some balls guy. Loads of respect from Aussie Troy and the boys
Forrest, your the man for that footage. you and your team do amazing work, keep it up guys
Try it with the saltwater crocodiles of northern Australia or the Nile crocodile.
😂😂😂 no that’s suicide
@@JuanRoman-wx2zgJeremy wade did it on river monsters
Awesome to you swimming with some of my favorite animals. My wife and I have watched every episode of Extinct or Alive and Mysterious Creatures, and we re watch them as well. Pretty much bought Discovery + sub for watching your Nature Documentaries. Thanks Forrest for sharing your passions with everyone. Your hard work in going into making shows this this and the ones on Discovery + does not go unnoticed.
Thank you!
That is awesome! I appreciate the kind words!
You absolutely deserve them all and more!!
This was amazing! I loved this so much! You are such an inspiration!!
This is incredible. Keep doing what you love Forrest
Amazing video and an even more amazing achievement. We need more content of Forrest, especially on RUclips. I want longer clips of all the trips you’re on! If you need someone to carry your bag anywhere, please do give me a shout!
You Blended in so well. I couldn't tell which one was you or the crocodile. I managed to figure it out though, the crocodile is the one that looks like he's always smiling.
This needs more views and is so fascinating
Now this channels up and running, about time for the Forrest, Patrick and Retep adventure I think!👊🏼
All around incredible video and what an achievement. Can't get enough of your content, keep up the great work.✌❤
That was exceptional acting throughout, you guys deserve an Oscar😉
Right!
Thank you for uploading a full documentary, really appreciate it, man. I will enjoy this with a good meal later today!
That was amazing!! To be honest, I could not even grab a bite, I was just so into the documentary. This is amazing, would you dare free dive in Isla Guadalupe wearing one of these suits?
well done Forrest.
Also some great shots from your young cameraman with the crocs.
beautiful to watch.
Congrats! U guys are living legends! 🙇♂️🙇♀️🙇
Loved the part "im afraid bout the weather and exited bout the diving part!"
You two made history! Praise!
By the way. Kid forrest is so cute! 😅
awesome video really loved to see the underwater footage of the crocs and hear your story! One question did anyone see how the tri-field meter arrow was shooting to 0 after he removed his hand with the material on top? like does the material cancel out electrical signal to nothing or just make it a steady stream?
I can easily say that you and the bros are my favorite people on youtube. Keep up the incredible work brother.
This is amazing Forest and Mark. Congrats guys!
I am sooo in love with this accomplishment!!! Thank you for showing us how it is when crocodiles can not sense that we are their food!!! I wish i could wear a suit!!!!
The reefs and fish you were diving with actually looked amazing I had to check to make sure this vid wasn't like 7 years old. I just spent a month working at this coral farming/restoration place in Jamaica and let me tell you, the sea is in a bad state out there.
This is absolutely amazing. I watched this with my son and he is so excited to watch more and learn more
I'm here now bro I'm so happy you posted your YT channel on your FB. I'm over here way more often
This was so cool!!!! I can't to see what other aquatic predators you'll be able to swim with.
Stay tuned!
If you google they run tours to swim with crocs in Banco Chinchorro where the crocs would be used to interacting with people in the water. Interesting video but this was a 15min ad for that wetsuit company lol.
I'd like to see him swim with the crocs he grew up with in Africa or go straight from NZ to Australia and swim with some there lol.
Amazing edit and such a cool experience for you man, keep it up
Forrest Galante deserves so many more subscribers, the man is a legend!
Stop Having Mark read from a script
Awesome stuff
Thank you!
So happy you finally have your own animal channel! I was hoping this would happen
Keep it up I’ve been watching you for a few years and you’re stuff you put out is amazing I truly believe if you keep it up you’ll be the biggest wildlife personality of our time and thank you for all the amazing content
I appreciate that!
Playing with fire eventually leads to getting burnt, just ask the Croc dude, oh crikey you cant, hes dead.
Cool documentary. Would've been nice if you showed us a bit more underwater footage.
absolutely amazing watch, seeing crocs so close is so fascinating
Thank you for this! Truly amazing!
Amazing technology, love to see it in action in Australia.
I have an absolute fear of crocs and alligators but if you throw me in that suit I would jump in and try this. Incredible.
No you wouldn't mate lol
@@tonysburgers7223 I think you’re right lol. I don’t fear a lot of things but crocs and alligators give me a fear I can’t explain.
Jaw dropping video. just wow. ill keep watching and ill hope for updates on this great tech and research
So incredible. But does the camera guy really have to read from a script? 🤣
This tech is incredible, but I can't help but fear the negative impacts of this material. With animals not detecting you, it will make it easier to hunt or sell skitish animals. However, you are such an inspiration to me and many others. Keep up the good work.
The suits aren’t cheap 1. Those who are real legal hunters aren’t gonna over hunt from using this technology and those who aren’t legal are using means/techniques that really don’t require a hex suit when your trapping, baiting, poisoning. Hex suits are meant for real wildlife enthusiasts and hunters who actually stalk their prey.
I had a video pop up in my recommendations for Wally the Alligator last night. He’s an emotional support alligator & he’s freakin adorable 🐊 I didn’t even know a such thing existed 😅
I’m overwhelmed at this technology and so impressed with your doco..keep it up😊
Longer form content let's gooo! Love it
Very cool! I’m wondering why you didn’t swim with crocs in either Africa or Australia (where they’re known to attack humans)? I’d also like to see some real tests with the wetsuit - seems fascinating.
Because saltwater from Australia and Nile crocks are not a joke.
This is one of the MOST amazing videos I have ever seen!!!
How fantastic! The footage was incredible
Forrest Sir you are an inspiration for me. This must have been an incredible experience for you sir !
Dude. I will not lie or pretend. This is amazing footage and I think you show amazing respect. I just hope you stay safe man. This is next level danger. Primal fear is the only correct response to this kind of thing. It’s about whether you can harness. Stay safe
Really well put together video!
God bless you Forrest for what you do and sending my regards to Pat and Retep as well. Love from Sri Lanka ❤
My jaw was on the floor for this whole video. Great job!!!!
Don’t know if anybody has ever told you this but you remind me of Steve Irwin listening to you on podcasts and watching videos you have his enthusiasm !!
This video was awesome !!!!
Incredible footage - earned my sub 100%
You’re insane! Love watching your channel, we need more content.
This was so fascinating. Kudos to both of you for the big kahunas to try this tech that appears untested on the croc world. *Mind blown*
Keep posting this content it is so fascinating
This was Awesome!!
Super happy that you are fearless 😊
Whatta treat 😊
So good every part of it from the cinematography and audio to the out of this world subject matter and bleeding edge wet suit tech everyone else take notes well done mate.
Bro this needs more views, likes, and subs what a video
I had heard of this tech before but you’ve got big balls Forrest. Great video.
Channel Deserves WAY more traffic.
May the algorithm favor you,Galante 🙏
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen on this app
You are one of my favorite human beings who has ever lived I love the work you do and the way you go about doing it
Lol
Mindblowing! Can't wait to see what else you are up to!
Every thing I watch, listen or read youre content I learn something new and am verry entertained
This is very much a stepping stone in your journey.🔥
this is absolutely incredible, I feel so lucky to have watched this, those suits are so cool!
I’m pretty sure Steve Basghall did a swimming with crocs documentary years ago, and this was without the wetsuit tech. The theory is crocs only attack at the surface allowing you to swim underwater with them. Saying that though I will not be trying either method any time soon.
Truly spectacular!!! You guys are amazing!!! The idea of making a suit resembling a croc I think is brilliant!! Kudos to those guys who made it on top of this technology! I can only imagine how much safer it could potentially be to interact with these predators without emitting the electro magnectic energy the suit stops? Not that I would ever consider this, but surely there must be a market for surfers, and Biologists like yourself. Great work!! Subscribed!! And don't compare yourself to climbing Mount Everest as if you have done anything less! I actually think this is bigger than an Everest climb in terms of achievement! I'm totally honest here! Kudos to all involved in this project.
Crazy footage 👍🏻 props to you both and indeed the guys and gals that made the suits 😃
I was scared watching this video.. Also hope someday your channel grows so huge that you will be able to produce your own shows for extinct or alive
Great vid! Here in the US when you see alligator handlers they always say this couldn’t happen with a croc. You completely flipped that on its head. Keep the videos coming.
This was so awesome to see!!
that's so scary! thankful that suit worked!!
keep up the great exploring!
13:50
Lol it looks like you took off a few lionfish fillets for yourself too. Amazing video!
Wow never knew you can hold your breath for so like you built for that life it's soo cool to see these videos and listening to your knowledge thanks for all the content
Some of the best croc footage out there
Bro hitched a ride on the back of a mako shark like it was nothing, and chilling with the crocs is just incredible
Great stuff! And a very cool achievement!
This is wicked man ! Also big fan of The Wild Times Pod, how about getting Sharbytes on there and talk about the suit and how sharks react to it ?
Any way always great content keep it up :)
Yea great for sharks but is completely pointless for crocs as they don't have electroreceptors
