      Your video through the dark narrow tunnel looks terrifying and for someone who has claustrophobia like me….I will pass 😅

    I can't imagine the pain of stepping on those traps, it makes my stomach turn!! And it's crazy that the 60% of the Vietnam’s army was women! Such a valuable video, I would have learned so much more for my history exams by watching this instead of studying it in the books. Well done amazing vlog!

      Aha yeah schools don’t teach everything! I was amazing by all the info I was given on this tour!
      Ps. Please don’t fall in a trap

      These traps were not designed to kill instantly but to make the victim suffer for as long as possible and strike fear to the whole squad.
      Imagine seeing your best friend fall into the trap, your best bet is to ignore his cry and keep moving. If you stop to try helping him, you will get ambushed or thrown grenade to death.

      Yes the guy said! And they would cover them in poop to make the soldiers infected as well

      @@sexillu it was a really effective tactic, while it seemed cruel, it was ruthlessly pragmatic, youd take out 4 men and demoralise the unit, the soldier, 2 to carry em home, and 1 to carry their pack.
      the vietcong also lost more of their own number to the traps, but despite that they were still extremely effective, being cheap, powerful and simple to build.

    This is just proof how strong and determined VN people's mentality is to keep the country together. Tested and trained by so many wars

    My dad got sucked into this shit, even after the Edgewood Arsenal tests. He has known for decades that his enemy is not the Vietnamese people, but his own government.

      It’s always a war for the governments, never for the people

    Honestly, I am more than impressed than human being were able to live in those tunnels for 12 years, it's unbelievable! Thank you for trying to share it with us even if you were struggling with your backpack 😂

    • @RyanLeeBanks

      In those tunnel, u can liver in 12 year or even survive the war.
      But on surface?
      I’m not sure that u can stay alive for one day during the rain of B-52 bomb

    It's crazy how these people managed to build these tunnels and even live there for 12 years, I would have died of claustrophobia within 5 minutes 😅

    • @RyanLeeBanks
      @RyanLeeBanks  Год назад +2

      They were hardened battle soldiers ready for the cause… I wouldn’t want to do it either 😅

    This place will become more interesting, if they allows us to explore all the tunnels in Cu Chi. I mean about its depth ... about 12 meters underground? It will be a great experience~

  • @doodahgurlie
    @doodahgurlie Год назад +1

    Very informative tour...I cannot believe they lived in there for 12 years like that. Yikes! If you make it to Hue, do the guided tour for the DMZ like CularTravels did. Really interesting, too.

    • @RyanLeeBanks
      @RyanLeeBanks  Год назад

      I know right it’s such a long time! I did get to Hue but again unfortunately because of speedy travel and some bus issues I only had 1 day to explore!

    One fact: In current day, Cu Chi tunnel has been extended for tourists (both Vietnamese and western)
    In OG design, we must crawl slowly down there and it’s extremely hard
