How does he travel to dangerous places and not get robbed or attacked?
>>
>>2839440
Soviet shitholes aren't that dangerous if you speak Russian
>>
>>2839441
he's been to most of south america and literally crossed the most dangerous jungle in the world
>>
>>2839442
Latinx really aren't that aggressive outside of the conquistsdores of northern Mexico
>>
he's obvisouly sus

The guy's a killer.
>>
>>2839440
Maybe they see him filming and don't want to get caught.

Also, this guy is just annoying as fuck.surprised he doesn't get socked more. His sense of humor is so cringe
>>
>>2839457
He's certainly something beginning with K
>>
>>2839440
If you went outside you'd realize its not actually that dangerous in 99% of places you could access. (Unless youre a woman)
>>
>>2839467
>Maybe they see him filming and don't want to get caught.
he's not filming most of the time and real criminals in shitholes dont care about cameras
>>
>>2839480
>its not actually that dangerous in 99% of places
ok go to the darien gap or some smaller mexican city and get back to me
>>
>>2839483
>Darien gap
>"hurr oh yeah? Most places aren't dangerous, what if you were stranded in Antarctica or the Congo Rainforest????"
Are you retarded? Such an inaccessible area is not a place you just 'end up' at, and is dangerous for reasons that go well beyond cartel activity.
>"dood Mexico is LE DANGEROUS cuz i saw a rekt thread on /gif/"
Maybe a retard like you won't be, but any other normal person would be fine in a smaller Mexican city. You have to be deliberately looking for trouble by sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, especially after dark, to be in actual danger in most countries. And even then 9/10 times nothing happens but 30IQs like you see the 1/10 and extrapolate it to something that happens to every other tourist who visits anywhere in the country.

Basic self preservation skills and vigilance gets you through any country thats actively not at war with itself. You wont feel comfortable 100% of the time and that means your basic instincts are working. But please go on with more stupid examples like North Korea, or random villagistan in rural India that nobody actually goes to.
>>
Mexico isn't dangerous except for some areas that most people know to avoid.

But his hijinx in Bolivia were seriously dodgy. Messing around in cartel territory and neighborhoods where locals literally warned him on the street.
>>
>>2839440
He's a man
He's tall
He's handsome
He has good charisma and is extroverted unlike >>2839467
He's white
He actually learns the languages of the places he goes and tries to communicate with natives
He usually seeks out older generations to learn from about the locations
All of these traits help you not get in trouble. Not being a fucking creep like >>2839467 that has aggressive thoughts constantly helps a lot when solo traveling. People can sense when you're a fucking weirdo and will treat you as such.
>>
>>2839492
>1 out of 10 chance of something actually dangerous happening
Jesus Christ that's an S+ tier shithole
>>
>>2839440
bodyguards
>>
I've seen a few of his videos.
He presents himself like a bumbling clueless anglo tourist but he's actually smarter than he looks. He takes precautions and knows when to bail
>>
He works for Mossad.
>>
Jewish rapist who like Kurt Caz, has built a followership from brown incels wanting to live vicariously
>>
I am starting to think he's a spy
His role is passion for travel and history
But he's gotten question by Russia and Ukraine gov, snuck into many places, always traveling, all his friends are bulky like him, knows many languages, knows a lot of history, has suspicious history yet no one will touch him

Or maybe this is why people think I'm a spy
>>
>>2839440
hes not stupid? idk. simple as.
>>
>>2839440
By not being a chickenshit manlet who is scared of rough places, duh.
>>2839480
Ignoring potential threats in the vicinity works just fine, until it doesn't and the dog yapping at your heels suddenly chomps down on your calf.
>>2839444
Law of the jungle applies. Look at the social dynamics of a pack of monkeys, for instance. The big monkeys attack the smaller weaker ones at will to assert their dominance. Never the other way around. Size matters.
>>2839492
>going out after dark
Anyone who says that a place is too dangerous to go out alone after dark is a complete fucking chickenshit. You're the kind of faggot who unironically WILL get robbed if he goes out alone after dark in a sketchy place, because you're so timid and risk-averse. As a tourist in a dangerous area, you can assume that local guys will test your mettle, and your intuitive reaction will determine the outcome of the interaction. It's utter foolishness to base your safety on the assumption that such hostile encounters will never happen. They WILL happen, and you MUST be able to deal with them decisively. It's no shame to be quivery and shaky afterwards; that's just the aftermath of an adrenaline dump.
>>
>>2839507
bald is a huge guy. he doesn't have to worry about anybody messing with him. he's also too jolly and friendly to make a lot of enemies
>>
>>2839492
>9/10 times nothing happens
so there's a 10% chance you will be robbed and murdered? that's not great odds dude
>>
>>2839440
Legit being 6'2" in the third world is near Godlike. As far as Russia (oh come on its second world) well, most people there have Christian/Muslim types of values and don't just go around stealing or shanking when they can get seen on camera.

But seriously he was at least 6 inches taller than almost every Indian he is so loud and intimidating.

how is this not one of the most unsafe shitholes in the world

Literally an MI6 asset
>>
>>2839440
>>2839457
>>2839472
He acts like a typical faggot, but he is no doubt Mi6/mossad that plays that character very well
>>
He cows stabby browns with his alpha Anglo-Saxon charisma
>>
he has an amusing "clueless tourist nice guy" aura around him, he's not aggressive and very polite, you can hear him saying hello and thank you kindly a mile away.
plus he's pretty fucking big, i guess risk calculation comes into play
>>
>>2839582
or you could just like, not go to sketchy places. only reason to do so is to make content for a "i go to sketchy places" youtube channel lol
>>
>>2839510
>>2839613
>>2839627
>"hurr the place would still be considered dangerous"
That's the point you illiterate spergs, a place thats considered dangerous is one where youre still very unlikely to be in danger even if youre actively seeking it or ignoring your basic self preservation skills. It's still an unsafe shithole compared to places where the risk doesn't exist, but your actual risk of harm is often negligible
>>2839582
>Ignoring potential threats in the vicinity works just fine, until it doesn't
Wow what a nothing statement that applies literally everywhere in the world
>Anyone who says that a place is too dangerous [...]
I didn't read most of this inane fanfiction you wrote since very little of it applies to anything I said, but youre a fucking idiot if you think night doesn't make some places more dangerous. That doesn't mean "don't enjoy nightlife" it means dont go to dodgy places, especially in the middle of the night if you think crime is a concern in the area. Does your dumbass think crime works as a random encounter dice roll in an rpg? It's opportunistic, and the best way to avoid it is to not give opportunity
>>
>>2839721
>unlikely
>10 percent

>>2839729
please redeeming the dictionary saar
>>
>>2839732
i wouldnt drive a car if i knew there was a 10 percent chance of me dying
>>
>>2839733
And you shouldn't saar, but that doesn't change that its unlikely. And even then the caveat for 10% was people who would intentionally put themselves in dangerous situations, not 10% of all people. Please keep redeeming the dictionary saar until you can read at a native level.
>>
>>2839440
he has aura and doesn't look like a victim. you can carry yourself in a way people don't fuck with you, which doesn't mean you need to be aggressive. just that people look for easy victims and he obviously is not one.
>>
>>2839721
You’re trying to argue on 4chan give it up man.
>>
>>2839721
It absolutely does mean "don't enjoy nightlife in dangerous places", you clueless retard. Being drunk and/or distracted by pussy makes you the perfect opportunity for enterprising criminals. Clubs are famously rife with scumbags, and you may not be free to leave after you walk in the door. Walking the streets sober and on point, talking to locals, maybe having a couple beers at an open-air bar...that's all cool.
>>
+100 Charisma
>>
He's never been to actually dangerous places.
>>
The other anon is right that most people that get fucked up travelling are already doing something dumb. This is true even in middling euro countries too btw. If you're trying to buy coke at a sketchy nightclub, you are now a target for crime. Same for going somewhere without permits, trying to bribe someone, etc. Criminals aren't retards, most are literally just opportunists.
>>
Those two fags are tempting fate going back to India after that last hit job they did. They should be ashamed.

They have to be careful, because it's very easy to have a train accident in India. Many videos of peopel getting accidentally decapitated or falling off and under a train. If they pray to Krishna maybe they can avoid a mishap but I wouldn't bet my money on it.

First discovered Bald during the covid lockdowns and was obsessed living vicariously through his vids. His early vids from India and the FSU were the best shit i've seen in youtube. Peaked at that buran video. Since then, his videos have gone to shit. He's had his moment but he's run out of things to do. That's why he keeps going back to inida.
>>
>>2840446
His recent two India videos are the pretty good. Backpacker Ben throws a massive hissy fit.
Bald also used the word "based" as a compliment which makes me think maybe he frequents these boards
>>
>>2840633
Who do you think posts these threads?
>>
>>2840446
India is good for content. He doesn't show nice stuff on his channel. Even if he encounters nice stuff in India (like in Darjeeling), he wont' show it. Same thing wherever he goes. He enjoyed a nice vacation in Luang Prabang, but showed none of it. He eats at fancy restaurants when he's off camera and stays at luxury resorts.
>>
>>2839442
>he's been to most of south america
So have I. It's not that big a deal.
>>
>>2840633
5 years ago that might have been true but now the word is more so just known amongst those who are heavily online as opposed to anons

In his latest video he showed some nice places in India

Lived in Rio my whole life. Crime happens with opportunity, not location. Dude probably never leaves a hotel past 8pm, gets uber or taxis everywhere, probably looks into places and situations to avoid.
I mean, people get regularly robbed at the local bus stop, but I go there all the time and never had any issues cause I'm a NEET and go outside what? 9am, noon, those robberies usually happen early in the morning or late when people are going to/coming from work.
There's a difference between saying "place is dangerous" and "there is a 100% chance you'll get robbed"
>>
>>2840905
Browns are much safer in Rio than pale-skinned people. I saw a South American mulatto wearing booty shorts in the laundromat a couple days ago and she stared directly at my face when I came in (but only for a second). White people stick out in African admixed parts of South America. Some other anon thinks my experiences are a "fairytale", like being approached on the moonlit beach near Santa Marta by some sketchy dude who fucked off rather quickly after I dealt with him. Drug addicts are scrawny shits, if you're fit they won't get physical with you. A homeless woman sat next to me on a bench in Medellin and started huffing glue from a bag. In Cali I encountered an insistent drug addict who seemed on the verge of attacking me when I told him to get lost in no uncertain terms, but decided just to say some nasty things and go a different way.
>>
Forgot to add, some dude in Tumaco wanted to "look at" my watch, then didn't want to give it back. My turn to get aggressive. After that I didn't fuck with anybody else in the town. The houses on stilts on the edge of the swamp looked Africa tier.
>>
In San Gil I bought weed from a drug dealer loitering by the river with his paco-smoking amigo. He charged me a fair price, like $4 for 3 grams of midshelf. His friend offered a hit of paco but I didn't take him up on it.
>>
>>2840656
Yeah i'm sure he was staying at luxury resorts while in the middle of bum fuck nowhere in belarus. Just accept that he actually enjoys seeing what normal life in most countries is like and not just showing off the same instagram locations for the 10000th time like every other influencer.
>>

Do you understand how percentages work, retard? Stop saaring and shouting about dictionaries and grab a fourth grade maths textbook instead.
Please roll a d10 right now and promise to shoot yourself in the head on a 1 if you think that is a "very unlikely even if you're actively seeking danger" sort of chance.
>>
>>2841081
traded the watch for the computer
>>
A lot of the places he goes aren't actually dangerous, he just picks fights with random people off camera and edits it. "Oh wow look this crazy person is real mad haha, what a wild place."
>>
>>2841455
Show literally one example, lol

It's a shame he's burning out. He's on the cusp of being a decent documentary maker. If he put his mind to it, he could easily create quite high level content which could mog the traditional doco fags.

Still though, I've always enjoyed watching his stuff. Evidently a talented guy.

Shame Kurt Caz didn't learn a bit more from his playbook. His recent stuff had so much potential in uncovering the real west, but it's just coming off as ragebait and 'guy walking around' laziness.
>>
>>2841799
There'll be a big fuck off highway running through it one day if Central America is serious aobut development and can uproot cartels. Nothing is sacred. (Though maybe criminality is the key to preservation....)

He offered 5 grams of cocaine and 5 grams of marijuana for the watch, kek
