It's really nice to see an Analog Horror series where every institution ISN'T in cahoots with the literal devil, and we've got actual good guys to root for in the absolute GOAT that is Ranger Craig.
Ranger Isaiah debuting when?? These guys gotta invite him on as a cameo or something, this hits all the marks for something Wendigoon would love no wonder it was recommended. The rangers are indeed the BOYS. All of them are legends omfg
Oh GOSH, I never realized during the campfire stories when the puppets all say "But we can't rest until our stories are told!" That's in reference to the dead kids' tragedies being brought to light by the show's creators... This series is amazing I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
@@ajzorger93 I had the same revelation when I realized all the credits themes had the stranger motif, especially because I usually skip credits for internet series because they tend to break immersion
when rangers speak you listen period honestly. theyre right up there with folks that work with elderly, suicide hotline/911 dispatch operators, and folks that work with special needs kids in sainthood in my eyes. you need veterinary education AND all the other higher education on top of that to be a ranger, and they only make $60k a year for all of that qualifications. you gotta really want to do it, and I applaud the hell out of their efforts. nothing but respect in a world full of scumbags poisoning the only known life in the universe
@@mudnarchist what are you implying went over my head exactly? the thing you repeated from the video? yeah no I got that just fine thanks I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate good folk but I guess that must be offensive enough to some people to warrant more regurgitation
🌸Cool lore tidbit: the flowers that keep getting panned to in the latest episode are known as lambkill or sheep's laurel. They look very pretty and appealing, so sheep often eat them. These flowers, however, are highly poisonous and kill those who aren't careful or don't know any better, causing any sheep that eats them to die. The more you know!
And in the Bible, God is commonly referred to as the Shepherd and his Followers as the Sheep. So the Flower kinda makes me think of Satan in a metaphorical way. This series has a lot of meanings worked into it.
I can imagine the ending of Blood Meridian where the judge is dancing and screaming about how he will never die... Only for a mysterious ranger to slowly stroll into town atop a white steed. All while playing a familiar tune in his harmonica.
I got so concerned when he said "My wife's dead but what can you do." Then I realized something "happening" to his wife is a running gag on the side channel. 😂🤣
I remember back when he posted a video called "playing COD because my wife left me" and everyone was leaving him supportive comments about moving on. She'd left for a work trip lmfao
I was so confused and worried 😟 he sounded so passively sad and apathetic 😭 like, sir please don't scare me I was actually checking Instagram and sh-it.
Idk if it came up in the original VOD or not, but the White Stag is also another myth in NJ (similar to the Jersey Devil). Apparently, a man was driving a stagecoach through the pine barrens when he was roadblocked by a white stag. When he got off the carriage and walked further down the road, he discovered that the bridge he was meant to go over had been destroyed (I think by a storm?), and that he, his horses, and cargo would have fallen into it had the stag not stopped them. The White Stag is seen as a good omen that prevents disasters from happening, much in the same way that the park rangers prevent hikers from going down false trails. In that sense, White Stag Education is a very fitting name for what they do (but also I love the biblical interpretation, and wouldn't be surprised if that was also intended).
14:56 Luke & Dan: *Running for their lives and one of them (can’t tell who) getting absolutely torn to shreds* Wendigoon: *Explaining how you shouldn’t use Jesus’s name in vain*
Nah because honestly I said the same exact thing he said right before he said it🤣 I said “keep saying that name, just not in… *screaming in the background* that. way😅”
47:32 the idea of using these kid's "legacy" or whatever the right word is to educate children abt the strangers in the woods so their tragic deaths wouldn't happen to any other kids is actually really sweet in a sad way
Every detail I learn about that episode that foreshadows the kids' death is just... Mwah, this series is so effective. I'm also sorry for your loss, may he rest well in heaven.
There’s a story that goes along with the white stag in the pine barrens. It’s about this guy who was like riding in a wagon or walking on a trail during a horrible thunderstorm and right when he was about to go on a bridge to cross a river, a white stag jumped in-front of him making him stop and just a few seconds later, the bridge he could’ve been on, got swept away in the storm and ever since then few people have reported seeing a white stag in the area trying to like warn them of danger or to be cautious of what’s ahead so just like White Stag Education, the white stag warns people of the dangers of the pine barrens and is the opposite of the jersey devil.
the strangers have different taxonomy, "homo" means they are in the same genus as us but they are a different species, "personatus" means masked. This could confirm them as not human

Amen! Craig out there laying down demonic Strangers with a tiny pistol. I would’ve wanted an automatic of some sort. Heck! Even something with a drum magazine would be more helpful. But Ranger “We can’t let God do all the work” Craig is going boldly into Satans crater forest, all while using a small 9mm (I’m not 100% sure what gun he’s using, not a professional acknowledgement)
For my 6th grade year, my school went to this campsite in the New Jersey Pine Barrens as like a field trip, one of the counselors told us the stories of the Jersey Devil and obviously we would be terrified. But once they sent all of us back to our cabins, it would always be pitch dark outside, no lights, you can’t see anything four feet away from you, in order to travel in the darkness you had to hold hand with your peers. All of us were always terrified every night we had to go back to our cabins. Unfortunately, the last night we went back to our cabin, we lost on of my cabin peers, we heard a scream and the counselors looked everywere for him. they did find him, but his leg was bitten into and bleeding a lot. but from what i heard after they took him away was that he said he swore he heard someone whisper into his ear and then he fell to the floor. he trully believed that night the jersey devil had got to him.
43:11 the line "we can't rest until our stories are told" makes way more sense when we see the four kids in the end credits of the show. I bet the plot events that happen to the puppets is based on what happened to the kids (fishing, getting lost and encountering the strangers, etc.) Maybe the Gleeson and Oswald encounter was based on what they *should've* done, hence the emphasis by ranger Luke on doing a good job with the strangers.
RANGER CRAIG! I remember when Wendigoon was on his streaming bender, and as he was taking suggestions on things to watch, we were graced by Ranger Craig. Ahh, so many memories. What a hunk craig is.
I remember how the Lacey Games videos were so fucked up, he pulled up furry art and let chat simp for Ranger Craig to feel better 💀 My proudest moment is tormenting wendi with Lacey i guess
@@walkingcontradiction223A lot of factors play into this. Humidity of the fart, temperature, density, volume, length, potential to cause physical/mental harm, clarity of sound, shart risk, etc.. The list goes on and on.
18:30 I did the math. Assuming an average human weight of 80kg, feeding mice 50mg of a drug is like giving a person 80g of it. A bar of chocolate is usually 100g for comparison.
2 things that people pointed out in your live chat that you missed because of overwhelming love for Ranger Craig are :- 1) end song of forest friends resembles the whistle 2) the drug is probably made from the oldest tree in the forest 3) there are 4 rangers and 4 dead kids
@@Weezer0418 dont know the name specific now but 1 who played guitar , fat guy , 1 who we see the end emergency tape running, and 1 form the audio who got attacked .
I’d wager the “White Stag” is the archangel Uriel. He was mentioned in the second video and is the angel most commonly said to wield the flaming sword and protect the Garden of Eden.
8:24 I love that the names spell "INNOCENT SEND HELP" No idea what that means, but that got me. It's also interesting to me that Rex (latin for King) has a 7 on his shirt, like the 7 stars in the Book of Enoch. I know Anne might be related to Daniel who had the intuitain/fruit of knowledge and saw the cult, but I wonder what the other two boys were about.
i Don't know if you noticed but at 43:10 mark at the campfire the puppets say to the Ranger "But we can't rest until our stories are told!" would creepingly relate to the end of that video where it shows all the missing children photos.
The line in Forest Friends about the oldest tree in the forest in reference to the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden is a really neat detail to put in the episode directly after a drug that gives you unnatural knowledge is introduced
As a healthcare professional, the medication talk made me take psychic damage. 50mg might be a lot, it might be a little, it all depends on medication. For example quetiapine, a medication i take for bipolar in 50mg, is not much, has a max dose of 800mg per day. Metformin starts at 50mg, max of 2000mg. Levothyroxine (thyroid med) it's dosed at 2-3mcg (micrograms) per kg of body weight. Milligrams do not translate laterally between medications as a reference to its effect. 50mg or 200mg can be a little, can be a lot, it's all up to exactly what medication its in reference to. I love you wendi, i just needed to get that out for someone who might get confused
I agree, 50 mg is not too worrying if we don't know what drug are we talking about lol, paracetamol/acetaminophen's usual dose is 500 mg and max dose is around 4g/day lol
body mass, age, overall health, and inherent responsiveness to the drug are factors too. fifty milligrams of prozac would make me borderline stoned, but for some people it's the perfect dose to keep them functional, and for others still it wouldn't make any difference whatsoever because prozac just doesn't work for them.
@@b.collins2656 taking minimum dose on prozac nuked my apetite. Wasn't hungry at all for 2 weeks & puked whenever I tried to eat. But for my fiancé it's the perfect med for stability
Damn it, I just realized something, I'm working at a summer camp this summer and I'm gonna be scared shitless of walking around in the forests because of this series
@@paul_warner I'm not a ranger, I lead hikes and plan events for the park. But as a person who works with ranger,s they have to deal with some strange shenanigans. Going after Yogi and boo boo being one of them.
I just commented this, took way too long to find your comment. The Garden and The Pit. Oh! The Bible does say that the Garden is in the East of the land.
I really want this to get its own full fledged video, and I want Wendigoon with an entire section about how Ranger Craig, and White Stag, please don't let anything bad happen to Craig, Craig is the GOAT.
They also made a point to capitalize Strangers which is a trope for a demon or devilish individual; usually the Stranger makes offers or temptations that the protagonist succumbs to or leads to misfortune like the prophecy in Macbeth.
I love how how demon woods exist with active cults in them and the local government is just like "yeah, just stay on the proper trails otherwise you'll be sacrificed, have a good day!"
I love how that nerd absolutely destroys some arguments and concepts by using logic and his vast knowledge,like, "if you weight ** you are equivalent to 4 mice"
rewatching and i forgot how catchy the stranger danger song is. im studying to be an elementary teacher and ngl im really tempted to sneak that song into one of my practice teaching classes.
This might just be a me thing because this is one of the first questions I usually ask about any given analog horror scenario(when the threat is greater than affecting like one or two people ofc), but I feel like the lack of US government presence is really strange here. Maybe they'll explain it, but ain't no way the US gov is like "Oh one of our national parks apparently keeps infinitely spawning these human/animal hybrids that all worship Satan and the park rangers frequently have to go on night raids to hunt them down and cull their population whenever they get enough numbers to start abducting citizens to do God knows what" and follow that up with "Send Ranger Craig in with the blicky, that's all we need"
Minor detail I noticed. In one of the clips the phrase "The Burning Swords protect us" flashes on screen for a frame, and the markings used for denoting the trails are called "Blazes" with the ones denoting safe trails being red, or fiery. At the end when the latin phrase "The fiery sword has turned to stone" is said, it's possible that the original sword used to guard Eden has lost effectiveness and that these red blazes are used to partially make up for it, thus being referred to as the burning swordS.
11:50 If I may chime in as the catholic weirdo in the audience: in Catholicism the only archangels we have confirmed are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Uriel is a thing in Orthodoxy though, and also some Anglican beliefs. Also worth noting here that the Ethiopian orthodox church does actually consider the book of Enoch canonical, but they're the only church that does. At least excluding like fringe alternative christian cult stuff.
@@Rattlehead-gy9ct I don't think this series is trying to be. I just know wendy isn't super familiar with pre-protestant Christianity so I figured I'd lend some info as a fairly learned cathollic. I can't imagine he's read Tobit or any of the other Deuterocanon.
Another thing to note is that the melody that the strangers whistle is an ongoing motif in the other music throughout the video, I noticed it in the piano playing for the christmas service and the music playing in the final informational video with luke, craig and dan
They keep showing images of lambs-kill flower specifically idk if that symbolically means anything but it's very deadly poisonous, i recognized it on sight because it's a popular engraving request at my aunts wood-work shop (mainly bowls, combs and such)

As a resident of Lacey Township in Ocean County New Jersey, I have seen these very woods filmed and it is so unerving to see areas like double trouble state park.
To me, during the Little Red song, it sounded more like Little Red went inside the house, couldn’t see the “grandma” who was possibly hiding, locked the door behind Little Red to keep her from running away, and the “grandma” was the one who was an imposter.
18:45 listening to Wendigoon rant about how 200mg is a massive dose for a human as I swallow my daily 400mg of magnesium and 400mg of vitamin B2 is quite the experience. I probably shouldn’t tell him about the 1000mg 2x per day of valtrex I took when I was sick
Oh my gosh! I was taking my morning supps, too! I was taking the same Maggie dose and a similar methylated B Vitamin dose, and I was thinking about how it's not _that_ much, but then I remembered my Maggies are horse pills. Are you taking a chelated version?
The great thing about the craig video is that it's a park safety production. The silly people in masks are just a SFW rendition of what the ACTUAL Strangers look like, done by local actors or something. It's silly until you think about that.
in orthodox angelology, the archangel and saint michael wields a flaming sword, he also throws the devil into the prison you mentioned, that is what i assume, “the burning swords protect us means”.
I've watched this like 6 times already, however it just dawned on me. When the kids are around the campfire and say, "We can't rest until our stories are told!" and knowing they are dead, that they are likely talking about their restless spirits not being able to pass on. This entire show could be a way for the White Stag "Wardens" to help them pass over.
"I smoked too much weed, read too much McCarthy and watched too much Wendigoon and now I believe in God again" that is one hell od a mood.

Unfortunately, the last night we went back to our cabin, we lost on of my cabin peers, we heard a scream and the counselors looked everywere for him. they did find him, but his leg was bitten into and bleeding a lot. but from what i heard after they took him away was that he said he swore he heard someone whisper into his ear and then he fell to the floor. he trully believed that night the jersey devil had got to him.
Did they ever find out what bit him?
@@BabyGirlGraveI feel like if we knew the size of the bite we could figure it out

"Pine Barrens Hiking Safety"
As someone from New Jersey, my only Pine Barrens safety tip is don't come to New Jersey.
My farts are better than Wendigoon's farts
I heard if two italian men offer to take you to pine barrens to dig a ditch, you politely decline
As a fellow those-cursed-with-Jersey, I agree.
As someone who has lived in the Pine Barrens all my life, I can confirm this is true.

yeah but does anyone know where jake was wrong? because i played it on my instrument and it was right.
@@TheAverageDaniel24:56 The line up notes was correct but Jake didn’t add the line up so that’s how he became a heretic XD
43:11 the line "we can't rest until our stories are told" makes way more sense when we see the four kids in the end credits of the show.
I bet the plot events that happen to the puppets is based on what happened to the kids (fishing, getting lost and encountering the strangers, etc.)
Maybe the Gleeson and Oswald encounter was based on what they *should've* done, hence the emphasis by ranger Luke on doing a good job with the strangers.

Ranger Luke: The Bard

RANGER CRAIG!
I remember when Wendigoon was on his streaming bender, and as he was taking suggestions on things to watch, we were graced by Ranger Craig. Ahh, so many memories. What a hunk craig is.
My farts are better than Wendigoon's farts
@@p-__ ain't got shit on Ranger Craig's farts homie

Didn't ask. 🤨
@@p-__What makes one fart better than another?
@@walkingcontradiction223A lot of factors play into this. Humidity of the fart, temperature, density, volume, length, potential to cause physical/mental harm, clarity of sound, shart risk, etc.. The list goes on and on.

18:30 I did the math. Assuming an average human weight of 80kg, feeding mice 50mg of a drug is like giving a person 80g of it. A bar of chocolate is usually 100g for comparison.

"I'll see you at The Gates, but not inside of Them" is a top tier Wendigoon line
2 things that people pointed out in your live chat that you missed because of overwhelming love for Ranger Craig are :-
1) end song of forest friends resembles the whistle
2) the drug is probably made from the oldest tree in the forest
3) there are 4 rangers and 4 dead kids
Buy one get one free deal
The oldest tree being the “tree of knowledge” and the drug being intuition/foresight is insanely cool, so I love this theory
Who are the 4 rangers?
@@Weezer0418 dont know the name specific now but 1 who played guitar , fat guy , 1 who we see the end emergency tape running, and 1 form the audio who got attacked .
Obviously, they're singing the song of the forest
I’d wager the “White Stag” is the archangel Uriel. He was mentioned in the second video and is the angel most commonly said to wield the flaming sword and protect the Garden of Eden.
So the entire thing is Uriel trying to warm people about what is going on
1:01:27 I still can’t get over the fact that from the moment they called them “bipeds” the next 2/3 closeups we get show them on all 4s😂

Perhaps the Park rangers are essentially the human paladins under the guidance of angels to fight back the forces of "The Adversary" within the park.
Multiclassing? In this economy?
Watch your tone with me boy, you may be the prince, but I'm still your superior as a paladin
As if I could forget. Listen, Uther, There's something about the Adversary you should know...@@hydra_lisk
Agreed. Pastors keeping people on the right path.
This series made me realize how cool the ranger uniform is
Also wouldn't park rangers be closer to the ranger class lol
It's so funny seeing the screen zoom in on Isiah as he christplains while the characters are screaming the background
8:24 I love that the names spell "INNOCENT SEND HELP" No idea what that means, but that got me.
It's also interesting to me that Rex (latin for King) has a 7 on his shirt, like the 7 stars in the Book of Enoch. I know Anne might be related to Daniel who had the intuitain/fruit of knowledge and saw the cult, but I wonder what the other two boys were about.
Cain and Able maybe, or some other biblical pair of men.
i Don't know if you noticed but at 43:10 mark at the campfire the puppets say to the Ranger "But we can't rest until our stories are told!" would creepingly relate to the end of that video where it shows all the missing children photos.
The line in Forest Friends about the oldest tree in the forest in reference to the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden is a really neat detail to put in the episode directly after a drug that gives you unnatural knowledge is introduced
Also later on with my somewhat basic knowledge of Latin “Homo Personatus” roughly would translate to same person or them being the same as people
You saying “Shut Up, Anna”! was the same energy as Dwight telling Micheal's Fake Head from the Halloween episode “Quiet You”!
As a healthcare professional, the medication talk made me take psychic damage. 50mg might be a lot, it might be a little, it all depends on medication. For example quetiapine, a medication i take for bipolar in 50mg, is not much, has a max dose of 800mg per day. Metformin starts at 50mg, max of 2000mg. Levothyroxine (thyroid med) it's dosed at 2-3mcg (micrograms) per kg of body weight. Milligrams do not translate laterally between medications as a reference to its effect. 50mg or 200mg can be a little, can be a lot, it's all up to exactly what medication its in reference to. I love you wendi, i just needed to get that out for someone who might get confused
I agree, 50 mg is not too worrying if we don't know what drug are we talking about lol, paracetamol/acetaminophen's usual dose is 500 mg and max dose is around 4g/day lol
body mass, age, overall health, and inherent responsiveness to the drug are factors too. fifty milligrams of prozac would make me borderline stoned, but for some people it's the perfect dose to keep them functional, and for others still it wouldn't make any difference whatsoever because prozac just doesn't work for them.
@@b.collins2656 taking minimum dose on prozac nuked my apetite. Wasn't hungry at all for 2 weeks & puked whenever I tried to eat. But for my fiancé it's the perfect med for stability
Thank you! I take 1800mg of gabapentin daily to control my nerve pain. The starting dose is 300 and can go up to 3000 I believe
yeah lol medications like Algofren (ibuprofen) is like 600mg for ages 16+
Damn it, I just realized something, I'm working at a summer camp this summer and I'm gonna be scared shitless of walking around in the forests because of this series

"When Craig talks about -demons- False Trails, I sit my white ass down" made me bust up laughing. This is an amazing ARG too!

I genuinely love this one the most. As a person who works in the park service (not a ranger) it really rings home.

Ok, so straight up, I’ve come back just to hear the stranger danger song. Unironically slaps
And to watch the Iceberg Boy do his dancey dance
Same I wish it was on Spotify :(
I really want this to get its own full fledged video, and I want Wendigoon with an entire section about how Ranger Craig, and White Stag, please don't let anything bad happen to Craig, Craig is the GOAT.
They also made a point to capitalize Strangers which is a trope for a demon or devilish individual; usually the Stranger makes offers or temptations that the protagonist succumbs to or leads to misfortune like the prophecy in Macbeth.
I love how how demon woods exist with active cults in them and the local government is just like "yeah, just stay on the proper trails otherwise you'll be sacrificed, have a good day!"
"We're setting up a cult in this park"
"Okay, just make sure all guests sign a liability waiver prior to entering the park"
And pay the proper permits. If we profit enough you have no idea how much we'll overlook 🫡
The government unfortunately can't stop some cults
Seems realistic
lol sounds like south park
I love how that nerd absolutely destroys some arguments and concepts by using logic and his vast knowledge,like, "if you weight ** you are equivalent to 4 mice"
15:00 Hearing Wendigoon calmly lecturing the screaming people in the background is certainly an experience
He sounds like my mother
Man Wendigoon is so savage, "I'll see you at the gates but not inside of them" daaaaaaamn
rewatching and i forgot how catchy the stranger danger song is. im studying to be an elementary teacher and ngl im really tempted to sneak that song into one of my practice teaching classes.
1:04:27 they hunt in packs. Maybe not a good time to holster

this had me out of my seat holy shit
HEY!
This might just be a me thing because this is one of the first questions I usually ask about any given analog horror scenario(when the threat is greater than affecting like one or two people ofc), but I feel like the lack of US government presence is really strange here. Maybe they'll explain it, but ain't no way the US gov is like "Oh one of our national parks apparently keeps infinitely spawning these human/animal hybrids that all worship Satan and the park rangers frequently have to go on night raids to hunt them down and cull their population whenever they get enough numbers to start abducting citizens to do God knows what" and follow that up with "Send Ranger Craig in with the blicky, that's all we need"
Plot twist: the US government sent rangers from Texas~
Counterpoint: They sent *Ranger Craig* after them. That's all they really need.
Do you really think the same government that caused the Waco siege would care about saving people?
I mean….
Bold of you to assume the government is capable of making the best choices about any crisis
Especially in media
Minor detail I noticed. In one of the clips the phrase "The Burning Swords protect us" flashes on screen for a frame, and the markings used for denoting the trails are called "Blazes" with the ones denoting safe trails being red, or fiery. At the end when the latin phrase "The fiery sword has turned to stone" is said, it's possible that the original sword used to guard Eden has lost effectiveness and that these red blazes are used to partially make up for it, thus being referred to as the burning swordS.
Stranger danger is unironically a bop
Deadass
You are my special
Literally been humming it 😭
WHATNIVE BEEN SAYINGGG
11:50 If I may chime in as the catholic weirdo in the audience: in Catholicism the only archangels we have confirmed are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Uriel is a thing in Orthodoxy though, and also some Anglican beliefs.
Also worth noting here that the Ethiopian orthodox church does actually consider the book of Enoch canonical, but they're the only church that does. At least excluding like fringe alternative christian cult stuff.
YAAAY! another Catholic! I think this series won't be entirely accurate, but it's fun
What about Camael?
@@rawrdino7046 not recognized by the Church
@@Rattlehead-gy9ct I don't think this series is trying to be. I just know wendy isn't super familiar with pre-protestant Christianity so I figured I'd lend some info as a fairly learned cathollic. I can't imagine he's read Tobit or any of the other Deuterocanon.
@warbossgegguz679 no, he probably hasn't. Good on you for chiming in though.
Another thing to note is that the melody that the strangers whistle is an ongoing motif in the other music throughout the video, I noticed it in the piano playing for the christmas service and the music playing in the final informational video with luke, craig and dan
They keep showing images of lambs-kill flower specifically idk if that symbolically means anything but it's very deadly poisonous, i recognized it on sight because it's a popular engraving request at my aunts wood-work shop (mainly bowls, combs and such)

As a resident of Lacey Township in Ocean County New Jersey, I have seen these very woods filmed and it is so unerving to see areas like double trouble state park.
is ranger craig there keeping everyone safe?
To me, during the Little Red song, it sounded more like Little Red went inside the house, couldn’t see the “grandma” who was possibly hiding, locked the door behind Little Red to keep her from running away, and the “grandma” was the one who was an imposter.
18:45 listening to Wendigoon rant about how 200mg is a massive dose for a human as I swallow my daily 400mg of magnesium and 400mg of vitamin B2 is quite the experience. I probably shouldn’t tell him about the 1000mg 2x per day of valtrex I took when I was sick
2 grams a day gatdam
Oh my gosh! I was taking my morning supps, too! I was taking the same Maggie dose and a similar methylated B Vitamin dose, and I was thinking about how it's not _that_ much, but then I remembered my Maggies are horse pills.
Are you taking a chelated version?
Yeah 200mg is NOT a high dose lol. That's 1 over the counter ibuprofen, for example. A 500mg pill is a "horse pill" as I refer to them
yeah i take 300mg of Trileptal in the morning and 300mg at night. i literally take 600mg of it total in one day and i'm fine.
@@dragontheheroi take 1200 trileptal per day lol
I just realized the 'oldest tree' could be a reference to the tree that had fruit of knowledge growing on it
damn it's like Wendi said in the video
The great thing about the craig video is that it's a park safety production. The silly people in masks are just a SFW rendition of what the ACTUAL Strangers look like, done by local actors or something. It's silly until you think about that.
The list of names in episode 2 for "special thanks" has the first letter of each name (first & last) read out top to bottom: Innocent Sendhelp.
in orthodox angelology, the archangel and saint michael wields a flaming sword, he also throws the devil into the prison you mentioned, that is what i assume, “the burning swords protect us means”.
14:58 wendigoon telling these guys to exorcise the jersey devil while there screaming in agony is hilarious
I've watched this like 6 times already, however it just dawned on me. When the kids are around the campfire and say, "We can't rest until our stories are told!" and knowing they are dead, that they are likely talking about their restless spirits not being able to pass on. This entire show could be a way for the White Stag "Wardens" to help them pass over.
