My mum really really really hated Huntsman's more than most spiders. One day she's like, going to buy some ciggies, hopes in the Mini and head down the road. As the car reaches the corner, we thought she fell out the side of the car via the door flinging open. The car kept going down and around the corner fine. So we rushed across the yards to help her. OMG what happened, you okay. Mum looks up with white fear in her eyes, but starting to crack up laughing, f#$%kin huntsman. As she had reached the corner, the sunshade dropped down and a massive Huntsman fell down onto her lap. She'd just bailed out of the car to get away from it

The issue with the blocks these days is (I have a shoebox block myself). Let’s say the government tells the developer they have an area that is 5km2. In this area you could develop it to have 5,000 properties. BUT if you make the blocks 25% smaller you can now fit an additional 500 properties so instead of generating $1bn in sales you’ve now generated $1.2bn in sales all from the same area. The only way these days really to get a large block is to either buy further out from the city, pay through the nose, buy an old house and do a knock down or remove the subdivision which that still means buying more than 1 block.
you wet your ham bag with water and vinegar and it keeps your leg of ham fresh in the fridge. a cold leg of ham is staple in australia at christmas for salads and sandwiches as it's too hot for baked ham. so we get a giant ham and get it out of the fridge and carve bits off it as we need. so good.
@@candycanessongs well the hamas connection was obvious, but also irrelevant as clearly it's not support for islamic fundamentalist terrorists and neither muslims or jews even eat ham.

Brown snake is one of the most venomous in the world. The lines he had on his skin would have been from a pressure bandage which is first aid for a snake bite.
I learnt this the hard way, 48hrs in hospital with a blood test every 2hrs because the first swap was positive from venom. luckily it was a dry bite. fun times. I did make the news though.
Hey Ryan, I once had a huntsman climb up my leg and then up to my shoulder, over my head, and down the back of the car seat while driving into town. I was on a road where I couldn't stop, so I had to keep driving.
The stigma you mentioned at the start is worse in the U.S (though it is present here in Australia) due to the U.S. being far more religious. We do have an issue with getting legislation passed though because of our aging population. As for the Huntsman spider they are venomous but their bite won't do much just hurt like hell. There is however a theory that they may truly be Australia's most deadly spider by far and it has to do with exactly the situation in the video. They like to live underneath bark and in cracks and so can lurk underneath the sun visor or in air vents etc. Some scientists looked at it and have theorised that many unexplained road accidents, particularly those involving single cars and no signs of excess speeding etc. may have been caused when people got scared shitless by a spider dropping on them or crawling out from it's hiding place. I think it was actually the fact they found a bunch of crashes with people turning into the sun at morning and evening but there otherwise being no clear contributing factor to look into it at first, so there is that risk factor there but they though people might be flipping the sun shade down and having huntsmen drop on them. They looked into other crashes after that and did find crashes which they thought also might be corroborative but in fatal crashes without any clear cause or witness then it's impossible to say for sure
Yes, so true. I had a very good mate in Queensland who lost his daughter and wife in a head on collision with another car with no clear reason for it happening. The cops later theorised that there may have been a spider in the car that caused them to swerve into on-coming traffic. I do remember a time when I was waiting to turn onto a main road in Brisbane, when a car coming along that road began to behave erratically, slowing and speeding up and swerving from side to side. It finally came to a halt and two panic-stricken women leapt out, screaming that there was a spider in the car! So, especially here in the Great Southern Land, it's a real risk, but only if you're a nervous Nelly of a woman!
When I was child and young adult there wasn’t a house I lived in that didn’t have a resident huntsman. No one bothered to get rid of them they were always just there.
After you've carved into your baked ham for Christmas, you put what is left into the calico bag (after making the bag damp) and toss it into the 'fridge. This stops the ham from drying out or turning 'slimy', as you use the leftovers for the next week or so. Most nowadays would use plastic wrap or something, but I've always thought the calico bag left the ham nicer.
Yeah but if that were me, I’d be glad to know as I’m absolutely terrified of spiders. I’d have to drive straight to a car wash! 😱 And thanks to Optus, we had No mobile phone service for most of the day and lost business.
I don't know if you mentioned it Ryan, but this week in Australia, the big news was the communications outage by the second biggest communications network "Optus". It caused chaos to so many businesses, railway networks, government, etc. Not so much for me, I just thought that I had some virus in my computer so I went down to my nearest Optus centre and saw the doors shut. I think I was the only happy one there because I was glad that it was only an internet outage. Tells how much we all rely on it nowadays.
A lot of people left Optus.. couldn't make emergency phone calls.. couldn't do banking..or even buy a coffee. Yes I agree we rely on technology too much!
Our huntsmans are not venomous BUT they are dangerous as they will scare the absolute fuck out of most people when they see one and the worst place for that to happen is inside your car while you’re driving!
Most spiders are venomous, including the Huntsman but also most spider venom isn't deadly to humans. We're not their prey, after all. I've had two huntsman bites and i had a localised reaction around the bite but otherwise its fine. One was so big, I could see the actual fang punctures.
I understand that it’s become a policy among certain members of the community to never pay for a coffee grinder from that particular store. Blends coffee to perfection, I’ve heard 🧐🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
I bought a coffee tree as a novelty, I know have enough coffee beans to grind & had the grinder already, so tried using it to grind coffee, it gives a VERY course grind, I wouldn't say to "perfection" at all!
Houses aren’t supposed to be closer than two metres, to allow for firefighters and to protect nearby homes from the fire. At least that was the law as I knew it.
Planning regulations differ from zone to zone. My suburb is mixed housing and light industry. Any building wall has to be either on the fence line or at ;least a metre away. I hadn't thought of it before, but the 1 metre would indeed be for emergency responders.
Ryan, if you were to get bitten by a King Brown snake it’s not the pain you’d be worried about. It’s whether or not you were going to die or live. King Brown snakes are one of the most deadly snakes on the planet
except there's a grand total of ONE death, EVER from a Mulga snake (the correct name for the "king brown") Mulgas are black snakes & they are the most toxic of the black snake family, being the only species of black snakes to have ever caused a fatality. The bite in that post wasn't a mulga snake though it was a brown snake, either eastern brown snake or western brown snake. Eastern brown snake is the second most venomous snake in the world, mulgas aren't even in the top 10
Developers could easily design suburbs with bigger blocks and regular size houses so theres some outside space. But if they cover the legal minimum block size with houses makes them more money.
In the sugarcane fields of Central & North Qld, Eastern Brown Snakes (2nd most venomous); are breeding with the Coastal Taipan (3rd most venomous). Some are calling it a Common Coastal Brown Taipan. The deities only know how venomous they are.
About Kit Kats - It is owned and manufactured across the world by Nestle - EXCEPT in the USA, where it is under licence by Hersheys. The flavour, texture and advertising will be different if you were to try an American Kit Kat as opposed to, let's say an Aussie Kit Kat or British Kit Kat
I have Optus for my phone and Telstra for my internet. The day Optus went offline was a shit show for many including me. I was ok at home with the WIFI but if I left the house the phone was cactus. Other people had it worse. I felt like I was back as a teenager in the 80s needing to find a public phone lol.
I wonder if there was queues for the public phones. Did you end up finding one? I looked up where the ones near me are many years ago in case I ever needed it, cause I realised that if I did, I wouldn't have access to the internet to find one
its the grinder. and its in a security lock even though it cost 13 dollars, the if you know you know thing we use it to grind our 420.and its prob there most shop lifted item
No self respecting Australian uses a blade grinder for their coffee yet this grinder is one of Kmart’s most popular/popularly stolen products. It’s a mystery 🤔🤷🏻♂️💨
huntsman bite is about as bad as a bee or wasp sting. they do have long fangs though so having a 1/4" of fangs sunk into you is a bit of a shock in itself. huntsman are of no concern to us though they're in our cars and houses and don't bite unless hurt or harassed. we do appreciate them keeping bugs and mice under control. they're like majestic security guards that sit on the wall defending our houses from pests by gracefully running them down at high speed and devouring them. three cheers for huntsmans.
Have you ever been bitten by one to actually know the pain level? I've had a couple touch me with their fangs over the years, but have felt nothing at all. I had a baby one at my old home, who was a real character & would do flips & stuff for attention & jumped onto me, fangs raised, many times, then looked like it was putting it's fangs down onto me but nothing. No idea if it was actually trying to bite me or not though. The other one I had was one in my living room that I fed regularly & who would come running up to me for food & one day came running up to me, on it's back legs & then crashed it's front legs & body down onto my bare foot, then ran off again, but I felt nothing, didn't even feel the weight of the spider, so I'm curious if they do really hurt when biting or not. I don't know anyone who's ever been bitten by one
The bit you missed with the coffee grinder, is the security tags on them. The kettle and milk frother don't, the pot smokers probably keep stealing the coffee grinders.
I don’t know why there was a problem with that bag with the word ham on it as it has been sold in stores accross Australia for many many years at Christmas time as it is for people to help keep the moisture in their Christmas hams in the fridge.

Love that Ryan skips over the Brown snake bite like oh yeah lol Was watching a doco last week of a guy who ignored a bite. Only his Mrs saved him. Think he was in a coma for weeks.
And in the comments the OP was ok and said he felt bad for wasting medical resources/time and maybe he just should have waited but everyone told him he did the right thing.
Way back I made the opposite mistake - ordered $1 worth of chips while in NZ - package was so big I had trouble carrying it out of the shop. Standard was 10cents worth (but not in Oz)
A potatoe costs around 2/10's of sweet F*&K all lol. The Wiggles are great at taking the piss out of themselves and still being child friendly. Genius. A Huntsman Spider in the car can scare the crap not expecting to see it. They run over your windscreen laughing at you lol. Great video and loving my Australia Rocks T-Shirt :)
Hi Ryan, I think the danger of a huntsman spider in or on your car is not that it is venomous but that it might result in an accident if you get startled by it while you are driving. The issue with the spider bite is not the marks on the skin or the pain you experience but the venom, which can be neurotoxic and cardiotoxic - i.e. deadly. If you get bitten, bandage the limb (as was done in this case by the look of the compression marks on the skin) and get to hospital pronto. they will give you antivenin that will save your life. There are not too many snakes in Australia that are not venomous.
Huntsman spiders while they do have venom, it is mostly harmless it causes pain and swelling for a short period of time www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/spiders the Victorian (Aussie state) government certified website. They are however f*cking terrifying up close especially since they can grow up to 15 cms from one leg to the other or in US units half a foot
😂😂😂 23/25 of the worlds most Venomous Snakes are fount in Australia 👍 Only Mahjavi(Rattler) & Snake island! Top the Australian for Reptilian Death rate No one is SAFE......Water (Salt or Fresh) or on Land.....2nd or 3rd for Spiders though.
Thank you for being so interested in Australia, Ryan. I do hope we can look forward to seeing you visit us one day! The problem with the ham is that the way they've printed it is a play on the word "Hamas."
I am quite sure it was NOT printed in that way! It's a play on the word Christmas, replacing Christ with Ham, maintaining the mas. If it was a play on Hamas, it would have read as Ham as NOT Ham mas
Omg I love the wiggles 😂 took my daughter to their last concert but I think I had the most fun, the original four were children's educators which is how they gained rockstar status here. Huntsmans are fine until they run across the inside of your windshield doing 80kms, causes more accidents than you would think 😅.
You want a Huntsman in your house, they usually hide during the day and roam the house at night eating all the bugs. If you catch them and put them out side they will just come back in.
I had a huntsman that had babies in my station wagon years ago. I was driving along and felt things falling in me, i kept brushing them off but when i looked up the headlining was covered in baby huntsman. That was on my way TO work, i still had to drive home at the end of the day 🤷🏼♀️😂 we did fumigate once i got home. My brother’s favourite party trick was having a huntsman crawl on his face and even in his mouth, i can say without prejudice i am related to a full blooded bogan 😉
Without even reading it, brown snake guy is fine :) You can see the marks on his leg from the firmly (correctly) applied pressure immobilisation bandage that had clearly been removed only a short time before he took that photo in the hospital. No-one who's applied that treatment has ever died from a snake bite in Australia
My wife got one of those ham bags. A recall was issued on the bags so she showed me and I laughed pretty hard. However, we won’t be returning the bag. It makes for a story and those are the best things to own.
Happy Arvo, Ryan. In the Southern Hemisphere, they're not called French Fries, they're called Fijian Fries. that an*shole was going to road-rage on two cops in an unmarked car. USA has a huge amount of good farming soil, Australia has comparatively little. Sadly, the colonies started where the farming land was good, and then built over it. Suburbs with more greenery have healthier residents, and don't create as intense heat islands. All new housing should be underground.
I would have questioned the price of those chips. If it’s correct I would send them back and ask for a refund. That is over the top price gouging. 😊 huntsman spiders are not dangerous. I let them live in my house because they eat pesky insects. Optus is a telecommunications service and it went down all day on Wednesday which caused major problems for half the country. I couldn’t use my cell phone and was unable to pay for my remedial massage service because I didn’t know until after I had it. So people rely on this service provider for banking and communication and the trains cere not able to run. It was chaos.😊
Nah, huntsmen are not at all poisonous, they are just very big and hairy. Many Australians including myself, like to have a huntsman in the house (as long as it's not in my bedroom sitting possibly on my face) as they will eat the poisonous spiders. One of my workers had a huntsman living in her bumper till we removed it (as she doesn't like spiders) a couple of weeks ago.
Huntsman are the big hairy ones, which if that suddenly runs across your while you are driving could scare the crap out of you and cause an accident. But harm you due to being dangerous? No.
Also a balls up which was more of a popular saying in the 70's. My mum and dad were with a bank manager as he was explaining some easily fixed error that my dad had just made with filling in a document. My mum, laughing, jokingly said "Oh trust him to to balls it up!" The staid old bank manager was a bit shocked. I had to later explain what the saying meant. She had always thought it meant how woollen knitwear gets messy, tangled little fluffy wool balls on the surface that have to be combed off.🙄 That just made her laugh more.
Don't run. Running just circulates the venom faster. Stay calm. 1. Put safe distance between you and snake. Don't waste time trying to ID 2. Apply medium pressure bandage (doesn't need to stop blood flow, only lymph) with splint to immobilise joint. If you can, include a gauze on bite site for easy testing once in hospital 3. Call/signal for help if possible, or else walk to help/vehicle using minimal exertion and movement of bitten limb. eg. improvise a walking stick 4. Don't remove bandage, only let that happen in ICU when they are ready to keep you alive
@@jwnomad I was going to say almost the same, but the whole body actually has to be immobilised, so no walking to help. There's never been a death from a snake bite in Australia when Pressure Immobilisation has been used. In remote areas, you've actually got a better survival chance if you stay put & wait for help to come to you, as opposed to walking out. & that means weeing yourself, not even moving for that! This is of course assuming that you have at least advised someone where you are going & when you are expected back & that they will therefore be looking for you & you have supplies, if not you might be screwed, but it's likely you will actually survive the bite even without anti--venom if that bandage & immobilisation are in place, as the body can break down the small amounts of the venom that will slowly leak through the lymphatic system over many days. You'll be really sick for many days if you have to wait for all the venom to slowly go through your system & be broken down naturally, as opposed to using anti-venom, but it is possible. There's no clear info as to how/why pressure immobilisation was invented, we know who's idea it was, but not how he came up with it, there is at least some evidence he got it from Aboriginal people & that they used immobilisation at least as a way of surviving snake bites. Unclear if they used any kind of pressure or not, probably didn't. Also, no gauze on the bite. If you want to, there are bandage techniques that leave a "tail" sticking out, so that the tail can be pulled to access the bit of the bandage that's over the bite, but otherwise just circle the bite area & the bandage over it can be cut away for testing. Gauze, pads or anything else create an uneven surface, which negatively impacts the pressure's job, plus it's a time waster & there's no benefit in using gauze to test for venom as opposed to using the bandage for it
It's long been a cultural thing that people want their own house on their own block, and don't tend to go for multi-storey townhouses or apartments. But going up is a much more economical use of space, so may have to become the norm to save our bushland.
yup, up makes more sense imo. I live in a medium density area, along with brush turkeys & possums & a huge range of birds. Next door to me in particular has over 100 units, but also has large open spaces & a tonne of trees & shrubs for the wildlife to live in. MUCH better imo than shoeboxes of brick & concrete stacked next to each other!

I wish Ryan would pick up his camera, leave his office, go outside, and take us on a tour of downtown Indiana! Most of us already know Australian.😊😊😊
Why are you here then? aha
I wish he would just buy a air ticket to Perth Western Australia.
Brown snake is one of the most venomous in the world. The lines he had on his skin would have been from a pressure bandage which is first aid for a snake bite.
I learnt this the hard way, 48hrs in hospital with a blood test every 2hrs because the first swap was positive from venom. luckily it was a dry bite. fun times. I did make the news though.
@@DaiminsDenOFVids family member did the same 3 weeks ago. It wasn't a dry bite. :(
@@mareebrown-e3n i hope they recovered.
Hey Ryan, I once had a huntsman climb up my leg and then up to my shoulder, over my head, and down the back of the car seat while driving into town. I was on a road where I couldn't stop, so I had to keep driving.
ahh man, Those Coffee Grinders will always be the best for chopping up.
Probably the most sold electronic appliance at kmart
Devils lettuce 😂
The stigma you mentioned at the start is worse in the U.S (though it is present here in Australia) due to the U.S. being far more religious. We do have an issue with getting legislation passed though because of our aging population.
As for the Huntsman spider they are venomous but their bite won't do much just hurt like hell. There is however a theory that they may truly be Australia's most deadly spider by far and it has to do with exactly the situation in the video.
They like to live underneath bark and in cracks and so can lurk underneath the sun visor or in air vents etc. Some scientists looked at it and have theorised that many unexplained road accidents, particularly those involving single cars and no signs of excess speeding etc. may have been caused when people got scared shitless by a spider dropping on them or crawling out from it's hiding place. I think it was actually the fact they found a bunch of crashes with people turning into the sun at morning and evening but there otherwise being no clear contributing factor to look into it at first, so there is that risk factor there but they though people might be flipping the sun shade down and having huntsmen drop on them. They looked into other crashes after that and did find crashes which they thought also might be corroborative but in fatal crashes without any clear cause or witness then it's impossible to say for sure
Yes, so true. I had a very good mate in Queensland who lost his daughter and wife in a head on collision with another car with no clear reason for it happening. The cops later theorised that there may have been a spider in the car that caused them to swerve into on-coming traffic.
I do remember a time when I was waiting to turn onto a main road in Brisbane, when a car coming along that road began to behave erratically, slowing and speeding up and swerving from side to side. It finally came to a halt and two panic-stricken women leapt out, screaming that there was a spider in the car!
So, especially here in the Great Southern Land, it's a real risk, but only if you're a nervous Nelly of a woman!
@@michaelboyce7079 hey hey now, only some women, not us living bushways they part of the family here.
When I was child and young adult there wasn’t a house I lived in that didn’t have a resident huntsman. No one bothered to get rid of them they were always just there.
Ryan. The grinder is locked up because people use them to make their mixes (Weed)
Those grinders sell out quickly throughout Australia and have for the last 20 years.. Seems like a lot of people are chopping up herbs in Australia.
😂
yeah thats the reason lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very health conscious we are 😎
After you've carved into your baked ham for Christmas, you put what is left into the calico bag (after making the bag damp) and toss it into the 'fridge. This stops the ham from drying out or turning 'slimy', as you use the leftovers for the next week or so. Most nowadays would use plastic wrap or something, but I've always thought the calico bag left the ham nicer.
brown snake is the second most venomous snake in the world. if you thought it was nothing, you wouldn't think so for very long.
Made me laugh when he was worried about the Huntsman and thought a a Brown Snake bite was not a problem...lol
I live in an attached block of villas and have more distance than those new houses!
The kit kat saying has always been that in Australia
Huntsman spiders are good to have in your house, they'll kill an keep at bay the more dangerous spiders like redbacks or white tail spiders.
They also eat cockroaches. I HATE cockroaches!
Ryan you don’t want a huntsman going into your car. They freak you out while you’re driving.
Yeah but if that were me, I’d be glad to know as I’m absolutely terrified of spiders. I’d have to drive straight to a car wash! 😱
And thanks to Optus, we had No mobile phone service for most of the day and lost business.
I don't know if you mentioned it Ryan, but this week in Australia, the big news was the communications outage by the second biggest communications network "Optus". It caused chaos to so many businesses, railway networks, government, etc.
Not so much for me, I just thought that I had some virus in my computer so I went down to my nearest Optus centre and saw the doors shut. I think I was the only happy one there because I was glad that it was only an internet outage. Tells how much we all rely on it nowadays.
A lot of people left Optus.. couldn't make emergency phone calls.. couldn't do banking..or even buy a coffee. Yes I agree we rely on technology too much!
@@belindahutchinson5333 Pretty poor show that they didn't have any redundancy. How easy for China or some nation to take us out?
@@belindahutchinson5333 Ryan wouldnt know what optus is he's way to busy reaching school shooting amd massacres lol
Our huntsmans are not venomous BUT they are dangerous as they will scare the absolute fuck out of most people when they see one and the worst place for that to happen is inside your car while you’re driving!
Or while giving a blowie
Most spiders are venomous, including the Huntsman but also most spider venom isn't deadly to humans. We're not their prey, after all.
I've had two huntsman bites and i had a localised reaction around the bite but otherwise its fine. One was so big, I could see the actual fang punctures.
The main news has been about the Optus outage here plus a few shark attacks
I understand that it’s become a policy among certain members of the community to never pay for a coffee grinder from that particular store. Blends coffee to perfection, I’ve heard 🧐🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Yeah, the stoners in Moe steal them quicker than they can put them on the shelves, and they are now behind a counter.
I bought a coffee tree as a novelty, I know have enough coffee beans to grind & had the grinder already, so tried using it to grind coffee, it gives a VERY course grind, I wouldn't say to "perfection" at all!
On the topic of solar panels, all new houses are legally required to have them at least here in Sydney
I didn't know that, but that's a good thing imo :)
Snickers used to be $1, now they are $2.20, thats half price dude😂
Houses aren’t supposed to be closer than two metres, to allow for firefighters and to protect nearby homes from the fire. At least that was the law as I knew it.
Planning regulations differ from zone to zone. My suburb is mixed housing and light industry.
Any building wall has to be either on the fence line or at ;least a metre away. I hadn't thought of it before, but the 1 metre would indeed be for emergency responders.
That was road rage until it turned out to be coppers.
Don't call yourself stupid 😢
Ryan, if you were to get bitten by a King Brown snake it’s not the pain you’d be worried about. It’s whether or not you were going to die or live. King Brown snakes are one of the most deadly snakes on the planet
except there's a grand total of ONE death, EVER from a Mulga snake (the correct name for the "king brown") Mulgas are black snakes & they are the most toxic of the black snake family, being the only species of black snakes to have ever caused a fatality.
The bite in that post wasn't a mulga snake though it was a brown snake, either eastern brown snake or western brown snake. Eastern brown snake is the second most venomous snake in the world, mulgas aren't even in the top 10
Developers could easily design suburbs with bigger blocks and regular size houses so theres some outside space. But if they cover the legal minimum block size with houses makes them more money.
In the sugarcane fields of Central & North Qld, Eastern Brown Snakes (2nd most venomous); are breeding with the Coastal Taipan (3rd most venomous). Some are calling it a Common Coastal Brown Taipan. The deities only know how venomous they are.
About Kit Kats - It is owned and manufactured across the world by Nestle - EXCEPT in the USA, where it is under licence by Hersheys. The flavour, texture and advertising will be different if you were to try an American Kit Kat as opposed to, let's say an Aussie Kit Kat or British Kit Kat
We use the coffee grinders to clop up weed in Australia
I have Optus for my phone and Telstra for my internet. The day Optus went offline was a shit show for many including me. I was ok at home with the WIFI but if I left the house the phone was cactus. Other people had it worse. I felt like I was back as a teenager in the 80s needing to find a public phone lol.
I wonder if there was queues for the public phones. Did you end up finding one? I looked up where the ones near me are many years ago in case I ever needed it, cause I realised that if I did, I wouldn't have access to the internet to find one
11:36 Ryan, that guy we would call an idiot 😂
More like a bloody idiot 😂😂
its the grinder. and its in a security lock even though it cost 13 dollars, the if you know you know thing we use it to grind our 420.and its prob there most shop lifted item
No self respecting Australian uses a blade grinder for their coffee yet this grinder is one of Kmart’s most popular/popularly stolen products. It’s a mystery 🤔🤷🏻♂️💨
Somebody once told me those coffee grinders have another use ;)
Is it? Is it really 😂
Roid (road) rage is a thing on our roads. Cops are not immune..😂😂😂😂
He certainly looked like a 'roid boi
huntsman bite is about as bad as a bee or wasp sting. they do have long fangs though so having a 1/4" of fangs sunk into you is a bit of a shock in itself.
huntsman are of no concern to us though they're in our cars and houses and don't bite unless hurt or harassed. we do appreciate them keeping bugs and mice under control.
they're like majestic security guards that sit on the wall defending our houses from pests by gracefully running them down at high speed and devouring them.
three cheers for huntsmans.
Have you ever been bitten by one to actually know the pain level? I've had a couple touch me with their fangs over the years, but have felt nothing at all. I had a baby one at my old home, who was a real character & would do flips & stuff for attention & jumped onto me, fangs raised, many times, then looked like it was putting it's fangs down onto me but nothing. No idea if it was actually trying to bite me or not though. The other one I had was one in my living room that I fed regularly & who would come running up to me for food & one day came running up to me, on it's back legs & then crashed it's front legs & body down onto my bare foot, then ran off again, but I felt nothing, didn't even feel the weight of the spider, so I'm curious if they do really hurt when biting or not. I don't know anyone who's ever been bitten by one
@@mehere8038 yes i've been bitten straight through the fingernail. you'll 100% know you've been bitten during and after.
@@6226superhurricane wow, that's impressive! I certainly didn't know their fangs were that strong! That's about as strong as any of our snakes!
Your son needs to watch the wiggles, he'll be hooked
The bit you missed with the coffee grinder, is the security tags on them. The kettle and milk frother don't, the pot smokers probably keep stealing the coffee grinders.
It’s for those who like a fine chop on their wacky tobacki. 🌿🍃🌱🍀☘️💨
I don’t know why there was a problem with that bag with the word ham on it as it has been sold in stores accross Australia for many many years at Christmas time as it is for people to help keep the moisture in their Christmas hams in the fridge.
Just takes 1 Karen

Love that Ryan skips over the Brown snake bite like oh yeah lol
Was watching a doco last week of a guy who ignored a bite. Only his Mrs saved him. Think he was in a coma for weeks.
And in the comments the OP was ok and said he felt bad for wasting medical resources/time and maybe he just should have waited but everyone told him he did the right thing.
@@becp488 huh
$16.70 for a plate of fries is exorbitant...I wouldn't be going back to that place again.. what a bloody rip-off. 😮
It was $16.10, heaps more affordable, but probably didn't even have chicken salt
Way back I made the opposite mistake - ordered $1 worth of chips while in NZ - package was so big I had trouble carrying it out of the shop. Standard was 10cents worth (but not in Oz)
Haha the good old "coffee" grinder.
I have that Kmart grinder, its good for grinding coffee beans and dope.
Lays used to be Arnott’s but the owners of Smith’s bought all the chips.
A potatoe costs around 2/10's of sweet F*&K all lol. The Wiggles are great at taking the piss out of themselves and still being child friendly. Genius. A Huntsman Spider in the car can scare the crap not expecting to see it. They run over your windscreen laughing at you lol. Great video and loving my Australia Rocks T-Shirt :)
Ryan, the thing about the Snickers is that $1.10 is the sales price (half price special)
That kmart coffee grinder hasn't changed for years, and is loved within a particular herb smoking community
Hi Ryan, I think the danger of a huntsman spider in or on your car is not that it is venomous but that it might result in an accident if you get startled by it while you are driving. The issue with the spider bite is not the marks on the skin or the pain you experience but the venom, which can be neurotoxic and cardiotoxic - i.e. deadly. If you get bitten, bandage the limb (as was done in this case by the look of the compression marks on the skin) and get to hospital pronto. they will give you antivenin that will save your life. There are not too many snakes in Australia that are not venomous.
Huntsman spiders while they do have venom, it is mostly harmless it causes pain and swelling for a short period of time
www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/spiders the Victorian (Aussie state) government certified website.
They are however f*cking terrifying up close especially since they can grow up to 15 cms from one leg to the other or in US units half a foot
You could've made your last sentence, a whole lot simpler by just saying: "Most snakes in Australia are venomous".
@@gbsailing9436 true they could of, but the pure amount of snakes that are venomous vs non-venomous is extremely unbalanced
😂😂😂
23/25 of the worlds most Venomous Snakes are fount in Australia 👍
Only Mahjavi(Rattler) & Snake island! Top the Australian for Reptilian Death rate
No one is SAFE......Water (Salt or Fresh) or on Land.....2nd or 3rd for Spiders though.
G'day from down under been waiting patiently for this week in Oz video
this week in Australia it is my birthday haha
Love your reactions to our wildlife 😂
Thank you for being so interested in Australia, Ryan. I do hope we can look forward to seeing you visit us one day! The problem with the ham is that the way they've printed it is a play on the word "Hamas."
I am quite sure it was NOT printed in that way!
It's a play on the word Christmas, replacing Christ with Ham, maintaining the mas. If it was a play on Hamas, it would have read as
Ham
as
NOT
Ham
mas
& btw it was available at Kmart in October
Omg I love the wiggles 😂 took my daughter to their last concert but I think I had the most fun, the original four were children's educators which is how they gained rockstar status here. Huntsmans are fine until they run across the inside of your windshield doing 80kms, causes more accidents than you would think 😅.
You want a Huntsman in your house, they usually hide during the day and roam the house at night eating all the bugs. If you catch them and put them out side they will just come back in.
Everyone has a named Huntsman in their household, a very hard working member of the family. Hats off to our Tommy!
Stuff up, just means annoying mistake
The best of the Paul Hogan Show Buddy! Agro's father. Get some old 1970's Australian into you.🤣🤣
That bloke with the chips just got ripped by about.9 bucks.
Weed, everyone I know only uses it for doing a chop lol
Lots are smaller with new developments as the developers are greedy and want to make as much money as possible to fit as many new lots in.
I had a huntsman that had babies in my station wagon years ago. I was driving along and felt things falling in me, i kept brushing them off but when i looked up the headlining was covered in baby huntsman. That was on my way TO work, i still had to drive home at the end of the day 🤷🏼♀️😂 we did fumigate once i got home.
My brother’s favourite party trick was having a huntsman crawl on his face and even in his mouth, i can say without prejudice i am related to a full blooded bogan 😉
The coffee grinder, the aussie stoners must have... best chop up lol
The guy with the rats tail wasn't running from the cops, he saw a huntsman spider.
The coffee grinder, because we use them to chop weed lol
$16.10 AUD is roughly $10.25 which in my opinion is still way over priced for a plate of chips. Even for Sydney
The grinder would be for coffee or pot lol
And the new security measures around them 😂 guess they have been going missing with self serve checkouts and all 😂
Love your title page this week in australia
Without even reading it, brown snake guy is fine :) You can see the marks on his leg from the firmly (correctly) applied pressure immobilisation bandage that had clearly been removed only a short time before he took that photo in the hospital. No-one who's applied that treatment has ever died from a snake bite in Australia
Perfect use of the Eshay Ryan 😂
My wife got one of those ham bags. A recall was issued on the bags so she showed me and I laughed pretty hard. However, we won’t be returning the bag. It makes for a story and those are the best things to own.
Happy Arvo, Ryan.
In the Southern Hemisphere, they're not called French Fries, they're called Fijian Fries.
that an*shole was going to road-rage on two cops in an unmarked car.
USA has a huge amount of good farming soil, Australia has comparatively little.
Sadly, the colonies started where the farming land was good, and then built over it. Suburbs with more greenery have healthier residents, and don't create as intense heat islands. All new housing should be underground.
you know vitamin d deficiencies in Australia are already in epidemic proportions right?
@@mehere8038 Yes, I take a D3 supplement among other things
Huntsman spiders aren't too bad, they usually dont bite. I often have them in the car, but if they don't jump on my, I leave them alone.
The coffee Grinder.. Also grinds stuff that takes you to the sky.
You will sometimez see an old house at the front and a new one built where the backyard was
we have lays in Australia. The coffee grinder! 😂 weed!
Pub & club prices for food in the big cities is insane, then out here west of the great devide can cost from $24 - $30 for lunch
Beer battered chips .....
Beer not so cheap....
😂😂😂😂😂
Coffe grinder is a pot heads time saver. All you need to know🤣
I would have questioned the price of those chips. If it’s correct I would send them back and ask for a refund. That is over the top price gouging. 😊 huntsman spiders are not dangerous. I let them live in my house because they eat pesky insects. Optus is a telecommunications service and it went down all day on Wednesday which caused major problems for half the country. I couldn’t use my cell phone and was unable to pay for my remedial massage service because I didn’t know until after I had it. So people rely on this service provider for banking and communication and the trains cere not able to run. It was chaos.😊
Maybe that glass of beer was free with the plate if chips.
Nah, huntsmen are not at all poisonous, they are just very big and hairy. Many Australians including myself, like to have a huntsman in the house (as long as it's not in my bedroom sitting possibly on my face) as they will eat the poisonous spiders. One of my workers had a huntsman living in her bumper till we removed it (as she doesn't like spiders) a couple of weeks ago.
England : Chips, Crisps
America: Fries, Chips
Aussies: Chips, Chips
Huntsman are the big hairy ones, which if that suddenly runs across your while you are driving could scare the crap out of you and cause an accident. But harm you due to being dangerous? No.
Stuff up is the pc way of saying fuck up
Also a balls up which was more of a popular saying in the 70's. My mum and dad were with a bank manager as he was explaining some easily fixed error that my dad had just made with filling in a document. My mum, laughing, jokingly said "Oh trust him to
to balls it up!" The staid old bank manager was a bit shocked.
I had to later explain what the saying meant. She had always thought it meant how woollen knitwear gets messy, tangled little fluffy wool balls on the surface that have to be combed off.🙄 That just made her laugh more.
Thank you!
That was a very entertaining video. I had fun and I really want that Sn*ckers right now!
No NNN for me. 🤣
Ryan, if he knows it was a brown snake, he needs to RUN to the doctor! He needs the anti venom.
Don't run. Running just circulates the venom faster. Stay calm.
1. Put safe distance between you and snake. Don't waste time trying to ID
2. Apply medium pressure bandage (doesn't need to stop blood flow, only lymph) with splint to immobilise joint. If you can, include a gauze on bite site for easy testing once in hospital
3. Call/signal for help if possible, or else walk to help/vehicle using minimal exertion and movement of bitten limb. eg. improvise a walking stick
4. Don't remove bandage, only let that happen in ICU when they are ready to keep you alive
@@jwnomadperfect 😃😃😃
You can see the marks from the pressure bandage that probably saved his life.
@@jwnomad I only said RUN because Ryan had no plans to seek help. LOL!
@@jwnomad I was going to say almost the same, but the whole body actually has to be immobilised, so no walking to help. There's never been a death from a snake bite in Australia when Pressure Immobilisation has been used.
In remote areas, you've actually got a better survival chance if you stay put & wait for help to come to you, as opposed to walking out. & that means weeing yourself, not even moving for that! This is of course assuming that you have at least advised someone where you are going & when you are expected back & that they will therefore be looking for you & you have supplies, if not you might be screwed, but it's likely you will actually survive the bite even without anti--venom if that bandage & immobilisation are in place, as the body can break down the small amounts of the venom that will slowly leak through the lymphatic system over many days. You'll be really sick for many days if you have to wait for all the venom to slowly go through your system & be broken down naturally, as opposed to using anti-venom, but it is possible. There's no clear info as to how/why pressure immobilisation was invented, we know who's idea it was, but not how he came up with it, there is at least some evidence he got it from Aboriginal people & that they used immobilisation at least as a way of surviving snake bites. Unclear if they used any kind of pressure or not, probably didn't.
Also, no gauze on the bite. If you want to, there are bandage techniques that leave a "tail" sticking out, so that the tail can be pulled to access the bit of the bandage that's over the bite, but otherwise just circle the bite area & the bandage over it can be cut away for testing. Gauze, pads or anything else create an uneven surface, which negatively impacts the pressure's job, plus it's a time waster & there's no benefit in using gauze to test for venom as opposed to using the bandage for it
It's long been a cultural thing that people want their own house on their own block, and don't tend to go for multi-storey townhouses or apartments. But going up is a much more economical use of space, so may have to become the norm to save our bushland.
yup, up makes more sense imo. I live in a medium density area, along with brush turkeys & possums & a huge range of birds. Next door to me in particular has over 100 units, but also has large open spaces & a tonne of trees & shrubs for the wildlife to live in. MUCH better imo than shoeboxes of brick & concrete stacked next to each other!
