I'm a little disappointed this is to be the last of these interviews, but I believe they are, and will continue to be, an incredibly valuable reference.
Hell prob be back again when the wars over
they were highly informative and enjoyable but I did find the wait between episodes a bit longer than ideal
@@JoeMangleWins I think they were just when he was back and available, so it means we got the information as it came, un-aged or artificially delayed.
Maybe lindy would interview other combatants. These are very interesting.
Bullshit
Joe‘s story about the deer is nearly word-for-word what happened to my Great Grandpa during WW2. He was part of the island hopping campaign in the Pacific. They had captured an island, but not fully neutralized the Japanese presence there. He was assigned to guard airplanes at night from Japanese saboteurs. They’d come out of their caves at night, slit the throats of any guards, and blow up the planes.
It was a moonless night, he was alone, and all he had was a pistol and a flashlight. Several hours pass and he hears a noise in the brush. It’s getting louder and louder as it closes on him. He’s terrified, praying, and thinking he’s about to get his throat slit. Then all of a sudden he hears a loud “BAAAH!”. It was a goat. He was so relieved that he said he could’ve kissed the goat, then and there.
RIP Frederick Raymond Campbell, AKA “Paw Paw” ❤️
"Baah"
"...You were lucky you didn't add "zai" to that"
@@worldcomicsreview354 Booooo! Have my angry upvote for that horribly amazing dad joke 😡
His story reminded me of my first time bear hunting. Prey animals are super loud. Deer, mice, squirrels. Every time I heard one of those I reached for my gun. When the bear came up on me, I never heard him coming. Only when it was ten feet away and sniffing me. Predators are super quiet.
Lol. The same stories my grandfather told me. He was also in the pacific and there is no way that you would step outside your area where your troops where and where they can see you, if you were to go for a pee or whatever you wouldn’t come back, they would find you dead in the morning with your throat cut. The terror that must be flowing through your body every minute of everyday while out there must have been horrific.
ruclips.net/video/Db86lpidcz4/видео.html im just gonna leave this here...
"We're a Labour family." I am surprised at how hard I laughed at that.
Thank you, Joe, for everything you've shared in this series of interviews. I'm a civilian from Canada, and I've learned so much from watching these.
Fighting for Ukraine is the same as fighting for Hitler.
@@user-tj3cy8kd7lok Ivan, time to take your meds.
@@user-tj3cy8kd7l Please tell me what makes Ukraine so "nazi". Aside from the military having some issues with Neo-Nazi divisions (that were totally blown out of proportion).
Might I remind you Zelensky is Jewish.
@@herbivorethecarnivore8447They weren’t Nazis. They were ultra-anti Russian nationalists. They weren’t interested in Jews. Even, I’m dead wrong, every country has a few nuts. Azov doesn’t slaughter families, pets and gang grape children in front of their families like Russia.
@@user-tj3cy8kd7lYou realize Russia just had a POGROM? In 2023! Or that Wagner’s named in honor of Hitler’s favorite composer and its founder had dozens of nazi tattoos? Or that 🇷🇺 has the most neo-nazis of any country?
These raw, off-the-cuff remarks shortly after returning are worth so much to history. Thank you so much Joe for sharing your story!

The narrow belts of trees are to shelter the fields from the wind - both to protect crops and to prevent soil erosion.
Cool, probably does a lot for biodiversity too.
Its a bit more than that. We have a very long tradition of dividing land with those tree lines. From what I know, it goes back into the mists of time and the reason why folks did it was to prevent land disputes. Once the tree line is planted, you can argue till you are blue in the face that this parcel is really yours, but it is not gonna fly. A fence can be moved, but a tree line is quite permanent and its kinda hard to say that your neighbour moved it by X meters while you were away on business. So yeah, I am sure those trees have positive effect on the agriculture, but the main reason that concept came about was a bit more pragmatic :)
The US invasion forces famously fought in the bocage country of Normandy. It is also rectangular or square fields lined by dense elevated hedgerows or trees. The fields were much smaller and the vegetation more dense but a similar idea.
These hedges exist in many regions for similar reasons, they indeed are great for biodiversity and are very good for basically everything.
In the US they are often planted with modestly valuable timber, species that are not shade tolerant. So there's that too.
That anecdote of breaking the bad news to his dad about having to shake Boris Johnson's hand is absolutely hilarious! 😂
Can you imagine? Yikes!
He lost his hand in the war... not being able to live with the shame of shaking Boris Johnson's.
Correction: Boris F-ing Johnson's hand. 😂
And to think that Boris F-n Johnson actually prevented the war from being over already in April 2022!! 🤢🤢😠
Especially the part where he praises Zelensky the sick weirdo, how clever
Im from a north american prairie area.
Trees dividing fields were planted as structured wind breaks for protection winter, these strips of untilled land were called shelter belts.
The same term is used in England
Canada as well.
Thats good. In Ukraine and Russia i think the best translate would "windbreaks" and that is what they are, windbreaks😅
@@BattlenudeYeah, windbreak is the only term I’ve ever heard. And it makes the most sense. I’m from the Midwest too. Never heard shelter belts before. But I’m not in a rural area.
Fantastic series. As everyone else in the comments has pointed out, Mac is a wonderful storyteller and sounds like the kind of guy you want if you're going to be in the trenches. Hopefully he's been enjoying his time back before setting out on his next adventure. 🍻

The way his voice broke just a tiny bit when he mentioned his deceased friend is heartbreaking
🤣
@@mr.m2659 bro
Went over... fucked around, found out and came home 😂
@@mr.m2659 what is funny little man?
@@k1er4n544 his friend died
Loyd is a fantastic interviewer, but Mac is truly incredible at story telling in these, I could listen to him talk about this for 5 more parts
I fast-forwarded twice through his deer incident and missed nothing but an extra 20 seconds of build-up. Sounded like a city boy who'd never been in the woods alone at night.
@@harrymills2770 I mean, this is a man in a war zone - and if you watched the other interviews you would know he's not that green - he was just, as I said, telling a good story about a time he was scared
@@harrymills2770 You ever been in the woods in a war zone, Harry?
@@harrymills2770 At least you get to feel superior to him for a little bit!
@@harrymills2770 You seem to think that he was afraid of a deer in the woods. It's alright, some people are confused by the simplest of facts, but just to explain it to you: he was in the woods of a country actively being attacked, including by forest penetrating special force soldiers. So even if he were "just a city boy", then it's a case of "a city boy being almost bayoneted in the throat, on a pitch black night...in the woods".
Let's see how you would handle that situation.
Honestly this series has kept me so entertained these last few days. Thanks so much for this, both of you. Joe has to be one of my favourite people I've seen on the Internet, and thanks for talking out about all your experiences💯👍😁
Mug.😂😂😂
@@dominicczajka6005 you are such a sweet lovely person,thanks for sharing,,love you,,,xxxxtaoxxxx
Jesus. Huge kudos to this man for doing what he did. And he almost makes light of what was really immense bravery. He tells his story in such a way that you almost forget how terrifiying such an experience must actually be. And so many layers to his story. Very revealing in so many ways. Good on you mate. I'm humbled. If we could all be so brave..
how brave indeed, where was he to defend the citizens of the Donbass when victoria nuland's cookies help fuel the bandera scumbags launch a war against them.. you lot have 0 clue.
Great series. This guy's really a good storyteller.
a good bull sh*tter
do you really believe he fought in ukraine, suffering deprivations and involved in fire fights ?
one look at his paunch, and you know what he has been doing since he "left for ukraine"
@@darthvaper6745 This guy got more balls than you, my friend.
@@darthvaper6745 First off Vaper you have no idea what he did and are just being cynical because that's obviously the viewpoint you want to take. Secondly, handing out food to the locals would be a noble thing to do and would certainly not be a completely safe thing to be doing compared to staying at home in the UK.
jonathan_frakes.mp4
@@darthvaper6745 I would say it’s more likely that he just embellishes his stories more then this being a case of stolen valor. Stolen valor is lying about being in the military or in combat. He most definitely was serving for a country in a war zone. So if he just makes some stories sound cooler then they probably were isn’t considered stolen valor.
Its nice that 2 months later and you've finally remembered the password
The interviews are on point
you are literally on all the channels i watch
Same ^
@@tweeterjack Are you certain?
@@Bamsebjorn literally from longbeachgriffy to angry cops and lindybeige
@@tweeterjack so he has the same taste as you. Amazing 🤩
From Ukrainian guy - thank you!!!
there is absolute no way you can pull a grenade pin with your teeth, anyone thats held one im sure can agree
I feel like the scariest moment story is a pretty good anecdote on the psychological stress of frontline duties. Fear of the unknown, with added very real danger...it's a wonder there aren't more friendly fire incidents...well there probably are more, just unreported.
Joe seems admirable to me.
Well in this case he could have had a nice Venison dinner for all that matter.
Yeah i had the same experience from the trench nights, just with pigs, the entire wider family of them what's worse, you think an enemy company is advancing, ffs was i scared the first time, but you quickly learn to distinct the patterns, animals randomly searching for food make different noises from human walk/approach which is more uniformed, more rythmic, matter how quick or slow, hard to explain but you learn to recognise different things.
@@dannyboy-vtc5741yeah patterns are important to know
Will miss you Joe, thanks for giving him a platform Lloyd!
I know Aussies who demined areas in Kampuchea, it's a good deed.
Joe should write a book
I really think this should be a series, interviews of soldiers, I would watch that every day from you.
Just a little bit of kindness and a little bit of resources... Still can do a lot. I feel like that alone should get you a medal. Thanks to both of you!
I'm Polish, I could listen to this soldier tales for hours . It reminds me tales of WW2 told by my grandfather
did your grandfather also fight for the people with swastikas and skulls on their uniforms?
@@kristoffer3000
No one attacked Nazi germany
WW2 Poland was invaded by Germany AND Russia
Putin Invaded Ukraine Without provacation
the Only Nazi is Putin
And you are surporting the baddies
@@kristoffer3000 You smell a bit orcish
He's a great lad met him and he stayed over when we come back from ukraine. He left his coffee maker here so that proves I ain't talking shit and I'm from troon so if you ask him he will be gutted about his coffee machine 😂
@@kristoffer3000 Are you talking about the russians today?
Joe is like, I got into hand to hand combat in Ukraine. With Russians? No, with a drunken Ukrainian officer. And I almost got bayonet by a deer. That's really fun tale to hear. Wish you the best!
Absolutely loved this series. This is probably my favorite channel on RUclips. It's definitely the only one that when a video drops, I immediately stop whatever I'm doing I start watching it. I also don't tend to retch videos, whereas I have rewatched most of his historical videos multiple times. Lloyd has such a unique and passionate way of talking about subjects that is so amazing that I actually consider his tangents some of the best parts of the lecture. Perfect topic selection, research and presentation. Feel bad about the whole Hannibal debacle but literally everyrhing else about this channel is perfect. Only thing that could improve it is if Lloyd was willing to delegate a BIT of the work to others so we could get more frequent videos, but I suppose that would risk lowering the quality and that's not worth it. I just want to thank you for all the YEARS (at least 7 or 8 at this point think it's closer to 10 though) or entertainment you've provided me though. I'm an absolute history nerd and even when you talk about a subject I know very well there are always new facets I was completely unaware of.
What a great thing to do as a follow up to your trial by battle. Learning to help de-mine the world's war zones is one of the greatest things I can think of a person with those skills doing. Great interviews, all of them. Thanks for bringing them to us.
It's a shame this is the last episode, I'd love to see more of him.
Scariest moment? I bet he nearly ran out of tea.
No, it wasn't THAT bad.
I understand that my words don't matter in the grand scheme of things, but I want to thank Joe for helping in Ukraine, and Lloyd for making videos letting us hear from him and Joe. I am an American but I was born and grew up in Eastern Ukraine. I am in a lot of emotional pain seeing that my place of origin has been torn by war by Russia's invasion. It is a very very sad place there, but a place with much more potential than Russia is or was, and the reason there is this potential is not some natural resource like gas or the coal Eastern Ukraine is known for , but the political will and the resolve of the people living there.
Моя страна хотела МИРА с Путиным но одна страна предпочтила попрыгать на Майдане и пострелять в Мирных житилей СВОЕЙ страны из стрелкового и нетолько оружия и Нас попрасили помочь в разрешение даного конфликта . Но единственый для Моей Страны возможность это вооружёный метод ведения СВО.
saying there is a "political will" , how naive can you get to trust politicians?
@@user-ol7df4de5tWho Wanted piece ? You from russia ?
I know for a fact that after Russia finally exhausts all of their resources and political will, something good will rise out of this pile of shit. Ukraine is a wonderful country. People everywhere have so much capacity for good, it's just that evil governments and situations put them down and dehumanize them so much. I believe in Ukraine. Even if Ukraine doesn't become some amazing perfect model country, I genuinely believe that Eastern Europe and Ukraine has the capacity to at least be normal and not constantly at war and having horrible things happening to them.
@@bilbo_gamers6417 so Russia didnt Run Out of rockets ? I read that Russia Drives Up the production of all Things so .....
LOYD! I'm beginning to run out of videos of you to rewatch (yes I have been watching your video's ALOT over the past years). I hope you do lots more story telling. The white headhunter is my all time favourite video on this platform, hope you don't quit making such video's
So sad that this is the last interview, I've rewatched them so much and they never fail to be amazingly interesting and insightful

Thank you so much for sharing your enlightening stories that I would likely not find anywhere else.
Been waiting for part 5. I'd keep watching through part 100! Best of luck to him.

You can tell Mac comes from a labour family because people enjoyed listening to him talk for 5 parts.
Lloyd doing Sir Alec doing Obi Wan is sublime, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
My favourite guy on You Tube! What a shame that it was the last part of the interview with him. My best wishes to You, Sir. Listening to You has been great fun and Your insight and insider's knowledge is priceless.
His story about the Deer is great. I had my own experience with a Deer when I was 7 years old, my mother, her friend and her son and I used to go for walks in a local forest every now and then, my friend and I would go running off into the forest to climb the trees and look for shotgun shells. This one time we ran in and got to this massive Oak tree and saw a fully grown Stag just behind it, with antlers at least 3 feet tall. We startle it and it charges, naturally we ran away and my mum said the following:
"We heard a scream, then all of a sudden my son(me) comes flying out of the forest like a bullet being chased by this massive Stag"
I managed to escape and the Deer turned a different direction. I still vividly remember the Deer stopping about 50 meters away, looking back at us, snorting and then walking off. I will never forget that experience lol.
I was just wondering whatever happened to the lad and if we are going to see more of him.
Stay alive and good hunt mate
And thank you for the interview Lindy

Kiev 🇷🇺
Kiev is how you pronounce it in English. You don't force English speakers to refer to Ukraine as Україна, its not how languages work. As much as I support Ukraine's war against Russia, I think this is a deliberate propaganda tool and quite unnecessary other than dividing people when they could be helping Ukraine in a more practical sense.
@@EastAtLeast Oh c'mon there was a whole campaign encouraging the World to name our capital in a right way, way before ruzz FSI, ruzz distorted lots of naming in their weird way... e.g. Beijing - Pehkeen etc.

My grandfarther experienced similar story to deer one.
It was on a Baikal lake in 50th.
He was on an overnight duty, watching some artillery store and heard like entire company is running toward him in a water ( he was on a lake cost ).
He yelled few times and then shot maybe everything he had in his magazine or maybe switched managizes.
Finally, it became quiet.
He was so scared.
In the morning, they found a bull from nearby farm got shot on a lake coast. Water made his 4 legs sounds like a lot of people running.
Officer came, my grandfarther was sure he will be sent to military cartser but officer said : "dont tell it to anyone, we just send the bull to the kitchen".
So entire group had a good lunch or few good meals

The narrow woods between fields are windbreaks. They're especially used in the large open flat plains of that area of Ukraine and Russia. Without those the wind would quickly build up and erode the top soil, or spread weed seeds, or lots of other bad things. They also serve as ancestral land border markers since the trees are also planted between different owners' fields and take ages to grow.
Makes me wonder, how did they took care of soil & seeds until the trees were big enough?
Good information. Thanks to both.
What an awesome set of stories.
Unbelievable lad. So much wit, positivity, strength, wisdom and optimism ❤️💪
