Good eye Tania!!!!!!!
Nice
@@MrBallen 12:58 oh there’s waldo i think on the botton of the bag
Nice job 👏
If I typed it 30 seconds quicker lol
Brigeta: I’m a very experienced hiker.
Bear: Same.
Damn Brigeta... You wanted that ultimate, camping experience.. Once in a lifetime...You got it.
Sadly.., that's funny. I'm a little ashamed of myself for laughing, but it's funny because it's true. 😀
Imagine throwing on headphones with music playing while camping in grizzly bear territory 😫😫🤦🏽♂️
@@mikemarc92 RIGHT
I've read the other day about the climbers that they have this issue with their sympathetic nervous so they don't feel fear. I guess hikers are the same. No sane ppl would just camp in the middle of a bear territory... I guess...
Why is it that the most fucked up places are “Jacob’s SOMETHING”?
Jacob’s Well
Jacob’s Ladder
Jacob’s Hole
....what’s going on with Jacob? Is he okay?
😂😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the exact same thing
Fuckin Jacob 😒😒
I even thought the jacob's hole is connected with jacob's well
Apparently Jacob is someone we want to stay away from lol.
after hearing how people ignore warning signs, now I realise how realistic characters in horror movies are.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeeoooo foreal!! Now I know it's realistic that pple do this
Nobody pays any attention to signs. Fact.
@@madquest8 As a former traffic manager, I can confirm
This is why I always try to listen to them. My general rule is that whoever put the sign up knows more than I do, even if it may seem completely safe, there could always be something that I don't know/haven't realised.
I always thought the characters were willfully ignorant to keep the audience on edge but then I realized people in real life are willfully ignorant but they aren't acting
i love how the victims literally see like 20+ warning signs, and just walk in like it's nobody's business
Crazy, right???
“I wonder who they’re for”
It’s that human ego. “Oh it doesn’t mean me”
@@emilylarsen2370That reminds of the woman that got sucked down the Lake Berryessa Spillway. There were signs warning to stay away from it, plus some sort of roping to separate the area from the rest of the lake. So what does she do? Ignore the signs, pass the rope and go over to the Spillway. It didn't end well.
'It's fine, these signs are for regular people'
words that mean nothing to me anymore:
- avid outdoorsman
- certified and experienced divers
- acomplished hunter
- fairly athletic guy
- pro camper
“Fairly athletic guy” 😂😂
pro cave explorer
True, when I hear the words "Expert" or "Certified", I thing yeah but you can't fix stupid.
Her friends: “No, we swear. She’s REALLY good at camping!”
The Ranger: “You mean sleeping outside? Okie dokie then.”
Permission to have your head chewed off granted!

I'VE LEARNED ONE THING FROM MR.BALLEN.
DON'T DO ANYTHING.
DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
AVOID PEOPLE.

Yeah, just stay in your house.
As a Canadian from British Columbia, who grew up camping around grizzly bears, I was shocked by the levels of irresponsibility when I visited Yellowstone park. Since then, I've never been surprised when I've read about hubris killing a tourist in Yellowstone park.
Can you elaborate?
I didn’t grow up in grizzly territory but I’m in Canada where there are black bears. Many tourists are careless with their food, food waste and garbage. Especially new campers. Best place to see bears isn’t in the backcountry, it’s actually in car camping/family camping areas, or along the road near these campgrounds. Food/garbage management would solve this problem. If people are as reckless in grizzly territory it’s terrifying.
I'm sure Brigitta felt just as confident 😂
Respect to MrB for using the metric system and still giving the exact length in feet. What a nice guy.
Ikr? It makes everything so easy for all his listeners!
When the locals tell you “that’s not a good idea” you should probably listen to them...RIP
That's one of the things we even do in the Australian Defence Force when looking for areas to set up temporary training camps, and hiking routes, we communicate with locals in the area. A map can tell you a lot, however there may a river on the map that is known by locals to only be there part of the year. If you get low on water, and were planning to refill at that river, well you will be shocked to find its dry. That's why local guidance is a valuable resource.
Oh she's resting in pieces here and there. I'm certain that the bear pushed her out a few days later. He probably had a few pieces of her still between his teeth.
You better be more than a pro, because the locals are pros in that area…. you better be Chuck Norris himself.
If you’re humble and wise you will always try to learn and be patient to achieve your goals. 😝 like Chuck Norris would!!
@@MsTemptation Now, why do you have to make me laugh so hard. Now, i feel bad and probably go to hell.
What you take away from these vids:
- Don’t go diving
- Don’t go cave exploring
- And definitely don’t go cave diving
You forgot...Don't go camping where grizzly bears live
Lol man I feel the same way! The scuba diving in caves freak me out 😳
And don't feed the bears.
@@jennifercarr9111 Or if you do, go with someone slower and preferably meatier just in case.
@@307wyopride2 ...and don’t feed any bears you may find in a cave while diving.
Here in Japan, there's a town named after the famous whirlpools that form with the tides: Naruto. Initially I went there because I was a fan of the anime of the same name, but I was surprised to find out that you can actually take a boat ride on these whirlpools. I watched from near the bridge as a couple of boats kept entering and riding the whirlpool currents. I was quite content to just watch with my feet firmly on the land.
Hella!
A grizzly bear attack is just unfathomable. Unbelievably horrific. Hopefully the body goes into shock fast...
From the accounts I've heard on survivors shock is instant especially when they get your neck and paralyze you, and we basically "detach" from our bodies to make it less traumatic. It's some crazy natural defense against these horrific events.
I really hope that's the case bc being conscious for something like this is literally unfathomable 🤯🤯😵😵😵😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
@SirSir-TheSird wow I didn't know that! I hope that's the case
Read up on what happened to Timothy Treadwell, aka Grizzly Man, back in 2003 when the nutjob got himself and his girlfriend eaten alive by a grizzly while their camera was recording the audio. It's neither quick nor painless.
Take a weapon with you.
One thing I've learned from almost a year of MrBallen: Never go scuba diving!!!
Or caves
or go hiking alone in any one of the national parks
I loved scuba diving but can't afford it anymore. Open water in safe areas is fine.
Or caving
Or outside
I don't even wear headphones while I'm walking alone down the street, let alone in the MIDDLE of bear country wtf
So dumb on her part for being out there alone in the first place
Wuss
I don't even wear headphones at the gym lmao I like knowing and hearing whats happening around me
I won't even put headphones on if I'm home alone like I'm on high alert and I have a guard dog
@@marshmallowchild4890 exactly! Some ppl walk through like too naively
In the late 60’s and early 70’s, our family spent 4 weeks each summer camping and fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park. My first (and hopefully last) close up encounter with grizzlies occurred during a day hike to Pelican Creek when I was about 10 years old. The trail meandered through meadow and forest and my mom was in the lead with me close behind. Suddenly she froze, turned to the rest of the group and said one word. BEAR! We all stepped off trail and froze with our backs to trees as a mother and her two cubs came crashing through the woods and passed 20 feet away from us. Shaken but safe, we continued hiking and I landed my first 18” trout. Thanks for reviving this memory from 50 years ago!
Wow!!
I took a scuba safety course once on a tour at the great barrier reef and it was about 15 minutes long and we never went in the water. I decided against going for that reason. A friend went and then accidentally lost the mouth piece and started panicking and the tour guide had to bring them back up out of the water. Things go from 0 to 100 real quick under deep water and u cant account for all of it.
I went through a similar experience. I had never been scuba diving and a guy I was dating at the time signed us up for a beginner-level scuba tour in the Outer Great Barrier Reef. I went through the quick safety brief and then we all went down after being cleared, but I was feeling a lot of anxiety with breathing through the tanks and no matter what I did, my sinuses were not equalizing properly. So my gut told me to not proceed. I told the scuba tour guide I wanted to go up right before they were about to start. I decided to snorkel instead. When the group came back, one of the girls had gotten tired and the guide had to carry her while completing the tour. Every now and then, part of me wonders if I should've just pushed through my anxiety since it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but my gut instincts told me I was not ready that day. So ultimately, I don't regret it.
@@karishmadesai1408 always trust your instincts, they exist for a reason
Omg. I had no idea they let inexperienced people dive. I went to a weeks long course to become dive certified before I ever considered going for a real recreational dive, even a touristy one.
@@bucketofsunshine6366 I actually went scuba diving in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Tenerife two summers ago. I had zero experience scuba diving, there was only a short instruction beforehand. Luckily, I had a great time and nothing went wrong, and we even went quite deep for a first dive (I don't remember the depth). After this great experience, I later heard that in my home country (the Netherlands), you could only scuba dive in open water after taking extensive courses... 😅
You're smart.. scuba diving isn't the least bit interesting to me
Park rangers: you shouldn't camp there alone. It's very dangerous
Her friends: don't worry she's a pro
Her friends the next day: can you help us find her? We're worried
Park rangers: don't worry she's a pro
She was such a pro, she had to bring a book along instructing her how to tie food up in a tree.
Yep.
She was such a pro, but the grizzly was pro-er
Bear - mhm I love to eat pros

@@caelnichols5317 shut the hell up karen
@@linnaweinbaum6757 this channel is an ONI psyop, lol.
Can we all just agree that if the rangers, who are professionals and know the area the best, say its a bad idea... that we listen and follow their advice!
If a Ranger says something I follow it to a fucking TEE. I once asked about swimming in the river at a campsite and they said "No that's a really bad idea, In theory you could sit by the shore but the currents can sweep you away and we can't do anything about it" And I never even got close to the river my whole stay.
Always bring bear spray. It works on bears, coyotes, humans, and any living being.
But for an "experience" camper, she made a lot of mistakes and was even learning how to camp on the go. People need to know their limits and how to not only be honest with others but mostly with themselves.
This right here. Bear spray is actually considered more effective than a gun at deterring bears, because an injured bear is more likely to fight believing it has no other choice rather than run away, whereas a bear that gets a faceful of bear spray is going to have its senses temporarily disabled so it retreats rather than possibly get more injured. Still better to have a gun than nothing, but either way, always bring bear spray.
She was probably an experienced camper in Switzerland, Germany etc. We don't have bears, mountain lions, coyotes here though and only recently wolves have returned and they are very unlikely to attack you.
@@phangirlable We do have bears in the Alps. Just a few months ago a young man in Italy was killed by a bear. And some years ago a bear was shot in Bavaria.
But they are brown bears, I think, definitely not grizzly bears.
Hikers have even been killed by cows. So don't underestimate domesticated animals.
Sounds like suicide. Camp in grizzly country all by yourself, then put headphones on.
how can camping on this little piece of grass be SOO much better than the one with an equally beautiful view in a safer valley or hilltop. Deep down taking those chances is risky, suicidal behavior.
@@lccsd2392 on top of that, why would anyone "NEED" to be alone? If she wanted to pull out her vibrator and have fun under the moonlight, she could've ventured a short distance from her party while they slept.
@@Kewlzter and not only that, alone in a notoriously dangerous place as well.

@@ginosko_ what are you talking about?
“Scuba” and “whirlpool” are two words that should never go together
What about Skeebow and Turlbroon
So true mate. Experienced one ☝️ I gather you know which one m8 ??
@@Billyboz1690 sadly a Skeebow.. very distressing
Scuba whirlpool
It goes together like him saying "high tide, low tide, and slack tide." There is only high tide and low tide. When the tide is coming in and reaches its zenith then the tide becomes slack and then goes out until it hits low tide. At which point it becomes slack until the tide turns again. That means it's safe only during the time between the tides changing direction. The frequency and duration of this slack time is constantly changing and are never the same from day to day. Thankfully it can be easily predicted. Love the show!
Camping, alone, Yellowstone, I knew from the start she was gonna meet a bear. It's a really rare occurrence, but people sleeping alone in griz country is also pretty rare. They're opportunistic.. if they're hungry and they find a nice singular human still in the packaging, they're probably gonna at least check the flavor of it
A few years ago we had a 10 metre sink hole appear near the traffic lights on a busy road in the Gold Coast Australia. I think it had more to do with ageing infrastructure though.
It took a few days to fix.
He actually taught us how not to be hard headed when being told something is dangerous
AND to always check under your bed and closet after returning to your home, and before you go to bed at night. (Even if you left to just get your mail at the end of the drive)
Legit. If someone with more experience than me says, "your idea is terrible." I think up a better idea lol

John Ballen is the most accomplished and addictive raconteur on the internet, in my opinion! Fantastic narration -- always! It's easy to listen to his channel for hours. Even if I occasionally know about a story, I still like to listen to John's version, and I always learn from him. Of course, there are many stories which are unbeknownst to me. John's subscriber base is astounding, with its mind-boggling number, and yet, John is as real and sincere as one can be, in my opinion. It's obvious to me that John thoroughly enjoys narrating for us, so this is a mutually beneficial situation, and they are one of my favorite things in life! 😊
Who else just randomly found this guy and now can’t stop watching him
What I’ve learned from MrBallen
Friends: “Want to go scuba diving?”
Me: “Oh no no no no”
No way I’d go scuba diving or caving. Claustrophobic.
Imagine copying the second best comment XD
I like to be able to breathe endless amounts of O2 also. That’s just not for me.
Hell to the nah, to the nah nah nah.
I want to learn but after watching all of Mr. Ballen's videos I've decided I'll stick to reefs and be damned if I go anywhere near a cave.
“Cave”, “hole”, “abyss” = no divey.
If I lived by those rules I would still be a virgin 😂😂
No likey
Add whirlpool to that list
"Water", "Ocean", "Neglectful person" =no divey
@@rhinodonkey7339
Funny! 🤭
We appreciate your dedication getting these stories out to us. It doesn’t matter how bad the weather behind you gets, you just keep going!
I jumped out into the ocean from a small boat about 150 feet from shore to take a dip (off northwest coast of Haiti). It was really hot so the water was so inviting. I immediately got caught in what I call a vortex and freezing water that pulled me down about 15 feet and got out of it by gathering myself to swim sideways out. I ended up about 40 feet from the boat and they are screaming in English "big fish that bite." I swam back and got back in successfully. Phew!! (Was this a whirlpool??)
Time for another fine episode of “Why I’m Never Scuba Diving.”
And another episode of don't by dumb
Lmao
Time for another episode of "People being stupid and refuse to listen to others"
Liv Miles, go ahead and try a scuba dive...in a pool. I did that, more years ago than I care to admit, and the experience of breathing underwater is truly amazing. There's no way I'd want to dive in the wild, though.
Soo true
This guy is a living legend. I've NEVER been soo into a chanel as I am with his. Stories are so detailed and very well told!!
Respect to you Mr.Ballen!!
Thank you!!!
Same I look everyday for a new upload
Lazy Masquerade, Corpse Husband, and Nuke's Top 5 are very good channels you might like. They tell similar stories to Ballen, except Nuke. Nuke's a whole dif animal! Mainly possible (very realistic) paranormal evidence.
100000 TRUE!
Absolutely agree.
Things this channel has taught me:
Always pay attention to warning signs when scuba diving or spelunking
Always follow the recommendations of park attendants
NEVER visit Yellowstone
So Brigeta was told not to camp by herself and was subsequently hard headed about it and, well the bear tested out just exactly how hard headed.
The bear tore open the tent and before he clamped down on her head he said "do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?"
🤣🤣
LMAO!!!!
That's hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used to work for a police department with a dive team. The one thing I learned from them was: Diving is cool. But, when things go wrong they go suddenly, hideously, and fatally wrong. When I would ask them if I could go out on the boats with them they would say: "Are you crazy!? Get back to your desk where you belong, you nutjob!" Sound advice.
One thing I’ve learned watching MrBallen for awhile it doesn’t matter where you go or what you do, death is lurking in the shadows relentlessly hunting you!💀
There’s only ONE story I’ve heard so far that’s really stuck with me and that was the poor 6y old that got stuck and died in the well.
Literally had to stop watching that really broke me. Don’t understand why the firefighters couldn’t have given the other option a chance before trying their own bc that really could’ve saved his life
That was the one 😳
Mine was the poor elderly couple buried alive. Holy hell that was sad.
@@lacountess Yeah. That was a heavy story. Another that bothered me was the mom and two daughters who were raped and drowned off the coast of Florida. Messed up.
@@07foxmulder Yes, I remember that one. OMG!
His first three parter video I watched involved three stories about people who went to places they shouldn't have and it disturbed me so much I quit the channel for almost a month. One of them was about a guy who got trapped in a ship engine and was cooked alive when the ship started sailing.
My cousin was sleeping in his bed when a sinkhole opened up under his bedroom and swallowed him alive. They were never able to recover his body. It made national news and was even featured in an episode of Nova. Weird seeing your family members on CNN
He had just switched bedroom with his 3 year old niece like a month before. That switch took his live but saved his niece❤ R.I.P Jeff Bush. It was in Seffner, Florida
I remember that. I'm so sorry.
Rest in peace Jeff Bush. 💔
That's very sad. Thank God his niece is okay. So sorry for you and your family's loss. 🤍💫
I remeber that story and feeling bad for him and his family such a sad thing
Actually, he covered that story. Tragic.
I remember hearing about that a number of years ago. So sorry.
I’m completely addicted to getting disturbed by theses videos!
....never knew that about bears seemingly preferring their meals to stay alive while they eat them. That's sooo creepy.
Yep she sure knew what she was doing.... reading a how to camp book... while camping. Experienced for sure.
That got my attention, too. One of the first things you learn as a camper is to get the food way up and out of reach. Poor girl probably didn't realize how freaking tall a grizzly is when it stands on its hind legs. In all fairness, I don't know whether having other campers with her would have saved her. Grizzly might have had an even bigger smorgasboad of idiot meat.
Ikr... Don't worry I'm an expert, I've got a survival book in my backpack, wear headphones in the middle of the wilderness while I'm by myself and don't carry a gun into grizzly country.
That's right a true pro woulda you tubed that shit.

1st story:
I love how the water company just decided that they want to help the families on their own. So honorable.
In Soviet Russia, you don’t sue for damages. Damages sue you!
The head of the company is a good person, a rarity these days.
Thats what i was thinking too. Had that happened here in America, they wouldn't have done crap. Water company here would have lawyered up and freed themselves of any liability and done nothing for the victims families.
…they were responsible for the deaths, it wasn’t compassionate it was to deflect away from negligence
@@bostonrailfan2427 Except they were found not responsible by law so no.
"there's food in there, there's people I can eat"... That was hilarious
"I'm fine on my own, I know what I'm doing."
- most famous last words when it comes to hiking/camping/caving/diving.
If Mrballen posts, you know it’s gonna be a good day.
Is it weird I don’t need the Visual with Mr Ballen?? He tells the story so well that I turn it up on Bose speakers an do stuff around the house
"It's gonna be a good day tater" - Ron White
Always makes my day!
“A good day” he says 😔
Sadly the people he's discussing didn't have a good day 😯
I’m going to need mr Ballen to start uploading 3, 4 even 5 times a DAY
My favorite comment!!
Lol I hear ya
Me too!
LOVE THAT TIFFANY! LOL!! I agree!
Yes 💃💃💃😀😀😀
I love how you convert the distances and sizes because it can get hard as a metric system user who watches mostly US videos
All scuba divers should take a course taught by Mr. Ballen.
Total pro. Doesn't string up her food high enough and listens to music on headphones so as to not hear anything around her. Brigitta apparently is foreign for "bear food"
Would a total pro also not a survival guide to instruct them on how to string up their food?
Surprisingly, bears can climb faster than they can run. I stg I wouldn't believe the statement had I not seen a video of a spooked bear running 20ft up a tree in within a couple seconds. Or maybe bear just tall lol.
@@yoshitheonly Yeah, they're excellent climbers AND they get more aggressive/bold when they're climbing up a tree.
That doesn't really help them get to food that is properly strung up. You don't tie it directly to a tree trunk after all. It's basically mid-air, and bears aren't smart enough to deal with ropes etc.
lol im just picturing Briggitta stringing up the pack high enough she can reach it herself and thinking yeah a 6ft bear wont get to that

New irrational fear unlocked: driving my car and suddenly landing upside down into a 10 foot deep boiling pot of scared Mexican soup 😣😂
Scared Mexican soup is the single best name for boiling water I have ever seen
Claymore mine💥
Men-udo soup
True with that irrational fear business. And ever since I've been binge watching this channel and other true crime type channels it's really affecting me. You truly are what you consume.
Yup I am officially afraid of sink holes, scuba diving, cave diving... what's going to be next
I had a sinkhole happen on the property that I managed in Florida. One entire building was almost lost we were ok, however, along the entire road buildings and cars were lost. It was frightening to see.
That’s so scary! As a Floridian, sinkholes are definitely a concern of mine. I’m glad everyone was ok, that’s the most important thing.
For about four years I have had a gift certificate to get fully scuba certified. I have always been scared to go scuba diving because I have a slight fear of deep water and fish larger than me but this channel has showed me those are the LEAST of what I would need to worry about. I think it’s safe to say I won’t be getting certified anytime soon.
What goes through someone's head when they decide a night camping alone in a well know dangerous spot is a good idea?
And then decides to go to sleep with headphones on....
@@bambinaria makes zero sense right!
I'm surel she was telling herself what a brave and independent woman she was while listening to some soothing music to hell her fall asleep.
Why the fuck would one even be listening to music at night while camping out all alone in a dangerous area is beyond me. I mean for FUCK sake, you have one job, stay alive. She even hung the cooler for fear of a bear trying to get to it yet she still decided to sleep with HEAD PHONES ON!?!??@@? Fuck me man, god damn it
Here we find the grizzly bears natural prey a “strong independent woman” with noise canceling headphones and a strong distaste for the 2nd amendment
Really appreciate you mentioning that most sink holes form slowly as to reduce the sheer terror we all now have associated with them 😆
I think a big deal is when they form under roads or other similarly hard material so can look like solid ground until something passes over them. I drove past a truck halfway in a sinkhole in the oncoming lane on a major highway once. It was in the process of being rescued so I didn't get involved.
@@chaos.corner I think a few months ago a sinkhole opened under a pool somewhere in the US (the property owners knew they weren't allowed to dig there but did anyway). Everyone else survived because they were on floats and climbed out in time, but one man was never seen again
"But these are much larger, and will kill you." I lost it with that line. 🤣
A whirlpool like in your bathtub, “but these are much larger and will kill you”😂
I recommended your channel to my best buddy and he said “dude... you know I go hiking all the time by myself” and I said “I hope I don’t hear your story one day from MrBallen...”
Hope your friend dont be hard headed and end up like the chick who went to Pelican Valley
you're a natural comedian that's a impressive joke
Nothing about this was a joke or supposed to be funny...
@@redpriest9160 dark humor babes.
I hope your buddy doesn’t go hiking alone anymore!
I don’t understand how a person can look at the entire vast ocean and think to themselves “I’ll go diving in this one little area that has a good chance of killing me”
Edgar Allen Poe wrote Descent into the Maelstrom about a whirlpool off the coast of Norway. It was how the term “maelstrom” entered into common usage in English.
Mr. Ballen you should do stories about when you were deployed. I Love military stories.
What I have learned from these videos:
It’s a good thing I’m a hermit and don’t go anywhere
Just make sure your home is not in an area prone to sink holes.
@@bonniehowell4259 I was just about to comment this!!
Me too! I feel very safe.
DCS-YES!!! Same here!!!
There’s a hermit video too lol
The first story where it’s titled “In hot water”, my immediate thought went straight to one of the stories of how people have tried swimming in the Yellowstone geyser pools and were essentially boiled alive 😱
That’s more like: “Acid Bath”
Deathpool
@@user-hl8wz4gk9s 1 tiny mistake and u got a big copyright strike heading your way
I was right there with you
@@SJT81 I mean don’t get me wrong, oh my god getting boiled alive in the pipes?? A;lskdjf; an jsd;f oh my f’ing OUCH 💀 sink holes are a huge nightmare.
You make every single story 10,000x scarier I swear. I won't watch your videos alone anymore 🤣
Brigita would have been wise to learn from you n not camped alone
I am addicted to your videos. Well done John, you are a legend
Yeah, I guess you could say I’m a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format
S ame
Whenever I talk about him I say that!! He started something! I need to check if he has a shirt that says that!
I’m a fan of your mama
@@monsterinparis9568
Me too
Her hatchet wound is full of maggots and smells of rotten milk and garbage...
Also it's all puss-y
SAME!!!
This should be called “the worst ways to die”
So tragic! But great story telling!
I don’t think you can drop the horrible “d” word in a RUclips video title without being demonetized by the advanced computer algorithm
Makes me miss the 1000 ways to die show on tv years ago. It was stupid but enjoyable in how stupid the deaths were.
Yeah it could be, there's certainly some horrible ways to die in today's video...I definitely agree with you on that one, MrBallen's the best ☺👍☮
Or caving
According to my calculations by watching Mr. Ballen you can avoid death 33% more by not scuba diving.
What I’ve learned from watching Mr Ballen is, Don’tgo scuba diving. Don’t go down holes. Don’t camp in woods. Don’t swim in the sea or lakes or streams. Actually Don’t do anything unless you have your own rescue team with you. Just incase to rescue you. 😬😳
Brigitta's fate is why we camp in our backyard or a local lake, along South Carolina's coast. Grizzlies are no joke. How absolutely horrifying. 💔
It's common to encounter a grizzly up here in the yukon as long as you don't bother it it won't bother you
@@basedchad534
Unless its an old one that is too slow to hunt and therefor really hungry. Those tend to murder you slowly because human meat is better than no meat at all.
That was too neat of a scene for a bear to have taken her. It was likely kidnappers or a cougar
@@jenniferhoyt1306 how did a cougar get the food down that was strung up?
@@neillscott4192 Cougars are cats, they can climb trees.

Karen: I know exactly how you feel.
Great content MrBallen 🤜🤛👌👍✊️🙂
Some of these stories are so interesting as you give ind with detail that allows me to get a visual picture of your stories
I like how he talks to you almost like he is talking to you in person when he moves his hands
Thats a really nice touch
"Sailing through the pass is certainly hazardous..."
wait no
"...it's nothing compared to the risks of scuba diving through the pass"
OH HELL NO
FRR
The last one is just horrendous. I am most certainly having nightmares tonight. The way you narrate this, with the impact of your last sentence, just makes it that much more heartbreaking.
I've learned so far from Mr ballen's strange dark and mysterious stories that I shouldn't go hiking,camping, diving, cave diving, SLEEP and pretty much anything and everything
How the convo should have went:
Park Rangers: “Show us where you’ll be camping.”
Birgitta: “Why?”
Park Rangers: “So we know where to find your body tomorrow.”
Birgitta: “ On second thought…”
Perfect way to phrase it & scare the idiot who want’s to solo it 😂
@@mo_musashi_284😂😂😂
Honestly a body search is probably why the park rangers actually asked...
If they actually had said that, they may had scared her and saved her life. Sometimes, having a little bit of "humor" can be life changing!
I live a few hours from the french pass And it's just as terrifying in real life as Mr Ballen has described. It's like holes just appear in the water and you cannot escape them
I live near Yellowstone and a ton of people don't respect how dangerous it is. We are also near the Frank Church Wilderness area which is debatably even more dangerous.
Dude!...im totally hooked on this pod cast..I love the information and background stories..the way you deliver this content is masterful...
Thank you and well done..
Not that it means anything coming from me..hahaha..im definitely a new subscriber..
This man described everything in the last story so incredibly well… literally detailed which side of her sleeping pad each item was located in. The level in which you submerge yourself in these stories is amazing.
Top tier content.
I got addicted to this guy a week ago, watched EVERY video and now I get upset because I have to wait for videos. Those of you that are new will be happy at this guys upload frequency though, it’s incredible how fast he pumps out content!
Imagine the ones that's been here since the beginning and didn't get to binge...like me lol. It's been a cool journey for him. This is the most positive channel and the comment section is full of awesome subscribers. Welcome to the strange, dark and mysterious. We're all addicts here for MrBallens storytelling. 😁
It only took you a week? Dang. I haven’t seen all cos I’m not into the ghost stories but this series is my favorite
Wait a week (I know, difficult) .. Then watch 1 a day while he is producing more content, you will always have something to watch, hehe
It took you 2 weeks to watch all of them? I just discovered this channel, gonna be busy!
I started following you on tiktok when I saw you on utube I loved it because I knew your videos would be longer what you have done here is genius and its a complement to you because your story telling ability is something that's just incomparable I told an older veteran about you and I mean korean war he says back in the day they listened to radio and these stories would be toldhe just listens and says it reminds him of those days I usually watch you but Ive been putting on headphones as I go to sleep my ol lady likes you to but I have trouble sleeping and I can close my eyes and listen to you and picture everything you have a true talent my friend. And a navy seal I hope you make a million dollars off this I mean it
Food for thought:
1 thing I've learned from mrballen, if you can't "beat"a grizzley bear, you best just "become" a grizzley bear.
Chances of survival dramatically increase.
i cant be the only person that finds this mans voice very calming
and he's very handsome too!!!! Okayyyyy Mr. Ballen!
Bears are terrifying. There’s a case where a girl was attacked by a bear and called her mother as the bear was eating her. I just couldn’t imagine the horror for both sides of that call. 1 getting eaten alive is obviously horrible but I think having to hear your child be eaten over the phone knowing there’s nothing you can do must be a whole different horror in itself.
I’d probably kill myself after. I have two kids & know I wouldn’t be able to live if I were that mother.
Or I’d sink into such a depression, it would consume me.
That is the most horrific thing. 😢
"I'm not afraid of camping out in a dangerous wilderness alone".
Okay...I'm sure that will keep those grizzlies at bay.

Hes def got issues with the like button lol !
After listening to several stories about sinkholes, they have become an official phobia of mine.
Stay away from Florida!

@@jasonhaynes2952 that’s where I live... my anxiety has doubled 😭
And let you wash your dishes in a toilet right???
Hell yeah scares the shit out of me. I lay in bed at night and think I feel shaking or freak out all the time 😭
I know these people foolishly brave the wild alone, but...that poor girl. Feeling herself getting eaten. Each second of her life pure agony. RIP.
Your saltwater crocodile stories freaked me out I never realized these apex predators where so creepy looking and sounding
I watched a 10-year-old kid and his mom almost die in a whirlpool on the American River in 2010. It was one of the most terrifying things I'd ever witnessed. Luckily they were okay just really shaken up
My sister and I almost drowned in the sandy river in Oregon. We were walking into the river and there was a drop off we didn't know about. I was able to throw her back on to the edge of it but I fell in. A guy watched the whole thing unfold and he managed to grab me before I fell deeper in. Never went back into that river.
I grew up, literally on the American River. One house backed up to the levee and another one just down the bluffs. My mom forbade me from swimming in that river. I'm probably still alive to this day because of her.
But said they died… HOW ARE THEY OKAY??
These videos are so educational. He totally should be a teacher. No one would ever fail.
Except for the like button. The like button always fails.
What not to do 2710 lol
I could picture hin being a great teacher also. He probably would have been that one teacher that actually kept me in school
So true!!!!
What subject you think he’d teach?
Ok, all three of my worst feared deaths all in one. YIKES. That is horrifying. So sorry for these people.
