>Go to Death Valley>Diehttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/us/french-tourist-dead-death-valley.htmlMaybe visit Disneyland next time.
>>2878355It's literally called death valleyWhy are euros like this
>>2878355Can't you just call the emergency to get your car serviced ? I literally don't understand the problem
>>2878363>I genuinely have no idea how remote parts of the world can be!
>>2878366It's literally a flat plain nigger, worse case you call 911 and they land a rescue helicopter
>>2878355Ban roads they killed people.
>>28783721. You have no cell service2. It's too hot for your phone to work3. Is too hot for you to think4. It's too hot to fly helicopters through the air5. Fatal heatstroke sets in within a few hours Here's an idea, go get stranded in death valley and prove us wrong!
Great story about missing Germans in Death Valley: https://otherhand.org/home-page/search-and-rescue/the-hunt-for-the-death-valley-germans/
>>2878389>It's too hot to fly helicoptersThe US flew helicopters in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan all the time. The Soviets flew helicopters in Afghanistan. The US uses helicopters in their North Africa operations.
>>2878398>military helicopters are TOTALLY the same thing as civilian ones, guys!
>>2878393I thought of this story too when I saw this thread.
>>2878389I forgot the US rural areas were basically third world, my bad
>>2878423Death valley is outside of Life Flight /Mercy Air operational zones so the Army is dispatched (in blackhawks) for rescues and they use it as a training event.>t. 3d Armored Cav with a blackawk unit that has also had 2 friends medivac'd out of the desert so ive seen it first hand from bith sides.
>>2878461RuralIts a fucking national park, dumbass.Death valley is about 1/7th the size of Portugal or 1/6th the size of Ireland.Theres more open desert in the U.S. than your entire country.
>>2878466Europeans literally cannot comprehend such spaces anon dont even bother
>>2878464nooo you aren't supposed to point that out!!!
>>2878389Why do retards keep going into deadly areas without a satellite phone or starlink?
>>2878490Sign at entrance to Death Valley circa 1850>3 days no water>travel at night>dont stopBut those days are gone. You can mash the gas pedal through the valley on an open road at 70mph with the A/C cranked up and be out in less than 2 hours (on the longest route).Over a million people visit Death Valley every year. Deaths are rare but they always make the news because sensationalism is the MSM meta.In comparison- about 12 people die in car crashes in California every day.In 2025 there were 2 deaths in Death Valley- both were car accidents on the highway through the valley.
It's funny to see how amerifags idealise a fucking desert, you'd expect any normal country to add emergency phones along the road every 2km or something if people die so much there no ?
>>2878389So if your car stops working even when you are in the main road you also die?
Maybe don’t go to the hottest place of earth in summer of all times alone, idiot
>>2878575The main highway is heavily traveled.They were on a remote dirt road "exploring".Death valley is 5,270 square miles.
>>2878577If you're dumbfuck enough to not prepare, probably not even then. Someone will see you and try to take your money via state-sponsored banditry.
>>2878602There shouldn't be park guards or something patrolling with pick ups to see if there are people having problems?
>>2878612>5,270 square miles.
>>2878612lol full peasant brain, up there with:>It's called a park, why are the animals not domesticated?
>>2878631Use drones then.
>>2878653>>2878612How about taking responsibility for your own life instead of expecting the government to wipe your ass for you
>>2878656Your car can stop working and not be your fault.
>>2878658Fault is irrelevantYou should have been prepared for the possibility
>>2878355Why do the French keep dying on US deserts? A French family died a few years ago at White Sands
>>2878389>car ac runs>its not that worse just wait>fuel runs out>die
>>2878355>frenchfor a people that are frank, they sure didn't take that name seriously did they.
>>2878656bro, europeans can't even take a shit without the government tickling their buttholes like a mother dog to her puppies.europeans are nigger tier retarded, stop expecting adult human responsibility from them
>>2878653What's the range of these drones you wish to use?Are you going to scan all 5,270 square miles just once a day to find the bodies or are you going to check all 5,270 miles hourly so you can find them when theyre still alive?How many drones does it take to cover 5,270 square miles in an hour?
Apparently during winter there is no danger because the temperature is between 64.4º F and 71.6º F. So just visit the park during winter and there is no danger.
>>2878709The temperature can drop from 50° to freezing in a day in Death Valley.Its also a horrible place to be during a rain because of flash floods.
>>2878709When the mud freezes it turns into a skating rink and wind blows boulders around like some olympic figure skating competition.Its a dangerous place any time of the year.
>>2878729The logical thing to do would be to be there during the day, not at night when it gets so cold. And floods must be something rare so it's very unlikely that they affect you.>>2878730Doesn't look like many rocks and I think I saw something about that and they move not so fast as to be a problem for humans.
>>2878730The pioneers used to ride those babies for miles
Another thread in the “Europeans don’t realize how small they are” book
>>2878393Damn, I spent way too much time down that rabbit hole.Nice.
there's a joke about virgin valley in there somewhere
>>2879152Yeah that guy really milked the shit out of that story. Could've told the interesting bits in one blog post instead of two dozen. Also I thought he came off as a bitch.
>>2878729>The temperature can drop from 50° to freezing in a day in Death Valley.Citation needed.For example, the climate data for Cow Creek Station shows that from May to September the RECORD LOW has never gone below 10°C (50°F), while average nighttime lows are actually around 30°C (90°F) in the summer. Even if there are substantial temperature swings between day and night, the reality is that summer in Death Valley is a furnace during the day and sweltering hot at night. Realistically the only times you could risk a freezing night are between December and February, but even then it's extremely unlikely unless you literally climb up the mountains in the area and spend the night there.
>>2879189I liked the part where he got shitty with the army guy and they just never called him back.
>>2878577Yes
weeeeeeeeeee
>>2879194>extremely unlikely unless you literally climb up the mountainsElevations in Death Valley range from 282 feet below sea level to 11,049 feet above sea level.This pic >>2878730 , is a dry lake bed where it freezes, is at about 3,600 feet.
>>2878355Why this thread smell like BO and mustard breh
>>2878355>Go to Death Valley>DieI would rather die than go to Death Valley. What's the appeal of visiting a furnace with no water or shade anywhere? Cuyahoga Valley, a national park that everyone shits on, is miles better than Death Valley in every way.
>>2879420Death valley national park has montane forest that stays cool year round it goes to over 11000 ft within the park its not just the literal valley
>>2879420How many french lives has Cuyahoga taken?
>>2879410you are smelling your upper lip son.
>>2879194Wildrose RS in Death Valley averages 40-60 freezing nights a winter. It is at 4,100 ft (1250m) above sea level, this is relatively typical for that elevation and an area with almost no vegetation. 4,600 feet (1400m) above sea level in Arizona in a temperate forest biome averages roughly 120-150 freezing nights a winter for comparison, which is more than Cincinnati Ohio.
>>2878468My Finnish friend was telling me how in Finland every part of the country has cell service even in the deepest woods. That is not the case here and it’s probably because of the size but also because of inefficient stuff that does make us somewhat third world. Being able to call anytime u want with a regular cellphone in the woods is a huge deal. The us is much more dangerous because of this. Obviously not a problem if you’re an American but for a little libtard euro prancing around it’s no good.
>>2879537Your friend is a liar.This is the cellphone coverage map for Finland.
>>2879613>thirdworlders make up things about their shitholes to feel better about themselvesmany such cases.remember Finland has a lower per capita income than Arkansas.>but muh bennies!yes, high public benefit dependency is part of being a poor or declining state/nation state.
>>2878356Where is the life valley?
>>2878355Why anyone would go to a fucking desert?Sure it can be scenic and if it's the only nature near you I can get it, but traveling from another corner of the World to se some dry dirt and some cactus?
>>2879644Lots of reason to go to "the desert".But Death Valley? Thats just a "i saw death valley" bucket list shit.Although the super bloom is pretty cool. Theres flowers that stay dormant for a decade or two and wait for that one good rain to sprout.
>>2879613>>2879616you americans are beyond retarded sometimes, it took me 10 seconds to find a coverage map for mobile for one(1) of apparently 3 major operators and that one alone has full coverage. you fucking mouthbreathing simpletons are looking at a 5G network map only or somethinghttps://www.dna.fi/wholesale/about-us/networks
>>2879658>that one alone has full coveragePic is from your link.
>>2878355In the fucking summer too, why wouldn't they go in December or something?
>>2879680
>>2879643We got kicked out of it because two people ate a fruit they weren't supposed to.
>>2879644Never been to a desert before so I'm thinking about going in winter to see what it's like, might be interesting for a change of scenery.
>>2879658>angry third worlder sounds and a link that disprove their own argument.kek
>>2879699Its like going to the beach but not being able to get in the water or stroll down the boardwalk.Its only fun if you have a dirt bike, quad, sandrail or truck.
>>2879674>>2879700not him, but if you select 2g it covers almost all Finland
>>2879652Damn, just fucking missed it. See you in 10 years.
>>2878683As many Brits just learned this summer, your car doesn't run out of fuel from running the AC.
>>2879795So the AC just magically keeps working forever?
>>2879795Wait were bongs so pathetic they spent the “heat wave” running the ac in the car instead of joining the 20th century?>we’re helping the environment
>>2879799Some of then even piped it to their housed and idled their cars all day lol
Only tangentially related, but didn't a bunch of retarded frenchies die in a heatwave due to hating air conditioning a few months ago? Shouldn't the rest of them know better now?
>Go to Death Valley>Die
>>2879809More europoors die from heat every year than gun violence here in the US. Mull that over a bit.
>>2879817They've had over 100,000 heat related deaths this year (and theyre still dying).
>strandedthe keyword is strandedsome poor fuck got unlucky and you people manage to make it about nationality or politicsthis behaviour is why everyone despise americans
>>2879887If you can’t stand the heat stay out of the fire.
>>2879817The people who die of heat are the elderly. In the winter they die ”excessively” of the flu / influenza in the same way, they are already in a very weak condition
>>2879897Delusional cope.>they were weak so of course they died from the heat, thats normal!!
>>2879899What you really should be doing is comparing the heat deaths in Europe to heat deaths in USA. In both cases you’ll find it’s the elderly that die. Maybe there are more deaths in Europe, but you should really factor in the temperatures too to make a reasonable comparison. I don’t know why one would compare heat deaths to gun deaths really
>>2879903Because you europoors constantly try to make it seem like a big deal when it’s usually due to “socioeconomic factors”.Less Americans die of heat than Europeans die of gun violence.
>>2879903It’s just not really a problem in the us.
>>2879903>you should really factor in the temperatures too to make a reasonable comparisonLook up average temperatures across the U.S. compared to europe.For a visual aid to get a general understanding of how much hotter the U.S. is just look at what latitudes europe is at compared to the U.S. I mean half of Europe is up there with fucking Canada. The average high last month in my state was 92.3F (33.5C) with many days at 100F (37.8C).
>>2879904What I can gather from this is heat deaths are a nothingburger in Europe (old, weak people die, no one cares, much like covid) and it’s the same in USA for gun deaths (gang violence etc). Is there much incentive to do anything about the death numbers, respectively. They are still both ”excessive” deaths
>>2879907>Sahara desert is from 15°N to 35 °N>San Diego is at 32°NWhen you see new reports saying San Diego is 72°F, thats at the airport (literally on the beach).A 20 minute drive inland during the summer and the temperature can hit 104°
>>2879908Report back when your grandma dies because A/C is illegal in her city.
>>2879910> because A/C is illegal in her cityA/C is rare yes. It must suck in central / south europe when the heat wave hits. Luckily I live in the north.
>>2879799>>2879803Yup https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricVehiclesUK/comments/1ufy9ae/our_bedrooms_reached_32c_yesterday_in_desperation/See picrel. They were so desperate they resorted to this. >>2879887How do you get stranded and die of dehydration in the age of the handheld GPS with an SOS button, or an iPhone, or a car, or a $1 1gal bottle of water and a $4 pack of electrolyte mix. When you go to Death Valley there are signs everywhere warning you of the hiking/driving conditions in the valley. The valley's conditions are well known. We live in the age of the Internet, everybody is very aware of the dangers in Death Valley. At this point getting stranded and dying from failure to prepare, is a deliberate choice.
>>2878707>Are you going to scan all 5,270 square miles just once a day to find the bodies or are you going to check all 5,270 miles hourly so you can find them when theyre still alive? He'd probably just scan the main road like he previously said
>>2879928Main highway isnt desolate.Even dueing the summer youll get a car driving by every 10 minutes.The issue with the OP is that they decided to go "exploring" down dirt roads in a rental car.
>>2879643Our respective mothers birth canals
>>2878575You fucks can't even provide air conditioning for your elderly. European tourists probably wouldn't pick up the emergency phones for fear it would contribute to greenhouse gas emissions
>>2878389Are you fucking retarded just like they were? If you're going through Death Valley take a fucking satellite phone. And a helicopter did go to pick up one of the dudes but he was already dead.
>>2880276>take a satellite phoneWon't help when heat stroke can kill you in 20 minutes, retard.How about you just dont go "exploring" in a place named Death Valley when the weather forecast says its going to be 125°.
>>2879698kekd
>>2880258classic american moment; can't understand that this is unusual weather. we don't need cooling, we need heating and insulation, because this is a different country, which means things like the weather are different here, i know that as an american you might not be aware of this.
>>2878393Tom Mahood is awesome. Ive hiked in the Sandias with him.
>>2880392Ive hiked in the Sandias without him
>>2880390kek, seethe isn't an argument my 3rd world dweller.
>>2880390>1,300 europeans die from heat stroke while sitting in their house in a week>IN ONE WEEK.VS>1 tourist (European no less) dies in a desert state park that sees 1.32 million visitors a year.
>>2878733hi chatgpt
>>2878355>go to angles landing>fall and land on the ground and turn into an angel
>>2878355They should build a Buccee's there.
>>2878355Why are euros so obsessed with Death Valley? This exact scenario has played out thousands of times over the years
>>2880699Their nanny government keeps them in the cultural equivalent of a padded room so danger is not only attractive due to its relatively exotic nature, but they are unfamiliar with it having actual consequences.
>>2878355
>>2880702Also, they really don’t understand how big the US is. Death Valley is roughly the same size as Switzerland but that doesn’t occur to your average erupean.
