Hats off to this dude for keeping his composure so well. Even though he’s got a protective suit on, it’s gotta be unnerving as hell being swarmed over by those things.
Once I was walking in an alleviated area of the land-locked county of Nantou and almost bumped into a tree with a similar-size hornet nest on it. Luckily, I didn’t really bump into it and was able to run away quickly though a few of hornets were still buzzing behind me along the way for a few moments. Stories of school children having a field trip and suddenly being killed by hornets are numerous in Taiwan. These devils are really really scary, especially given the fact that they often misinterpret your actions and then make their first move first. The ones on this video are, in fact, rather peaceful – they were too slow to start attacking.
This is HILARIOUS!!! That broke down ladder when there is a perfectly new one right next to it… The small net for the giant nest! Him walking down the ladder the wrong way! Him holding the power lines for support! The family in the background with no protective gear! The random background music! And then the sudden end of the video. 🤣🤣🤣 This was the best!
Highly impressive skills and balance while being swarmed. Even though he has a protective suit on it still has to be extremely unnerving with them swarming angrily
Can’t imagine how much more dramatic that process would have been if he decided to use an even shorter ladder made of sticks, smaller mesh laundry bag, and a tinyer aquarium net. One thing for certain… he sure knows how to agitate hornets in the midday sun
I’m highly impressed by the courage of this man, choosing to use a makeshift ladder and using a bag that’s clearly too small. I can imagine when he went to film it he thought ‘how can I make this more badass’, I know I’ll leave the bigger bag aside and struggle with the smaller lol
