#KSNV #California #DeathValley
People are really bored.
Bored to death.
There are so many beautiful National Parks. They chose there?
Looks beautiful to me.
You spelled morons wrong.
This is the dumbest thing I can imagine..
HINT: more climate change fearmongering! sandwiched inbetween airborne germbugs that are deathly dangerous yet have a 99.997% chance of surviving one if u get it; but avoid depoke, folks bc its not for your benefit, quite the opposite despite their insistance that all getpoked!
Ate you mixing your MEDS again??
Thanks for putting all the geniuses on display for us dumb folk who choose not to risk our lives for a photo op.
Been there, it cleared up my asthma.
@imo8249 well if you wander around Arizona..ask a bit you will find alot of people in say 50..70 year old range Arizona is where doctors used to tell..send people with asthma to go there’s a specialized clinic northwest of Tucson for it sister and brother used to go …me the healthy one would get all the tests done on…not a good thing was still learning English and only four years old
@Miguel Castaneda ❤AZ
@Miguel CastanedaI doubt you get that kind of information at car auctions🙄
@purplemist7 we knew a retired police officer he owned a pawn shop
These arent records, its death valley. Keep drinking big brothers coolaide
Rather go to,Disneyland
Darwin –
For people in search of a life!
As per 0:24, I’ll be headed to Death Valley
The past year was 134😂
Dumb people activities
I die at 80 degrees, forget this place
i can see breeze no problem then
The earth has been hotter before many times the ice cores prove this. The climate change is not real it’s a proven cycle years after years.
Sure, these visitors are fine as long as they are only briefly exposed to triple digit temps and then can get back into their highly air-conditioned vehicles or go inside the air-conditioned ranger station. However, if any one of those vehicles breaks down more than a 20-minute walk from rescue, those humans would be in serious trouble if no one came to their rescue. Clearly with all that exposed skin, these visitors do not know how to dress for intense desert heat or intense sunlight and have little appreciation for how quickly a human can become dehydrated and dangerously over-heated in triple digit temperatures.
I visit Death Valey in the winter and early spring when temperatures are reasonable. I would never visit during the summer when my life would depend upon my vehicle and its air-conditioning not malfunctioning.
Couldn’t agree with you more.
Grew up Arizona yea once your acclimated too it it’s normal.. had calluses on feet walking across hot asphalt was nothing..and there it was normal to take salt tablets daily…today’s people freak out about that
That sounds miserable. what’s wrong with people 😂
Sometimes I think white people live such safe and sheltered lives that they seek danger & discomfort.
Wow, incredible how the freaking CMs Democrats LGTB MSM are whining about the heat, trying to indoctrinate people with climate change rhetoric. It’s already a record in that place in July 1913, with 57 degrees Celsius at that time, & it was not cars the culprits accused of climate change. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite place in summer I just visited this week and was amazing but lonely.
00:25 – Instagramer Squad on their way to ask the ranger where the nearest Starbucks is.
People shh this is a good opportunity to be rid of these influencers. Sorry for those who we legit lost to nature but these people just let them take their selfies along the trails.
Wearing black in that heat ?
Yeah, she shouldn’t be wearing those bottoms 😜
Since 1913 we as humans have added so many more heat islands, CO2 and all other kinds of horrible pollution and we still cant break the 134* record… but don’t worry, climate change preachers will say that’s exactly what it’s suppose to do 😮
Better not touch my carbonated beverage, I love Coke a Cola.
You should leave earth and help take the strain off the planet
Climate related deaths are on the decline and there is no increase in natural disasters. Humans are so conceited, they actually think they can alter the climate.
It’s always “those” people I figured would like to go “enjoy” being in the record heat. 🙄
_Charles Darwin has entered the chat_
Don’t call anyone when your going thru dehydration. You chose to be out there on a heat wave
*when you’re going through dehydration.
“Been there, done that” crowd.
“If your car break down but air conditioning still working” not likely unless you have a flat tire. Crazy lady
A flat tire is considered a broken car. She is correct. Educate yourself before you make comments.
Seek your thrills if you must, but make these people sign a waiver that if they get into trouble they do not expect a rescue from first responders.
Why does it feel like you’re wearing a mask when you typed this 😂
😂😂😂😂
They’re in a national park.
News team…. Hey Brett ! Go do a story on Death Valley , You’ll love it ………
120s are not a record in death Valley California. Death Valley California holds the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded on planet earth. I’ve also done military exercises in death Valley. That was 25 years ago, almost 30 years ago actually, and it was in the 120s then. Stop making this out to be something that it’s not.
Okay I’m sorry
If your car breaks down, you die.
Those are some *THICK* people. Carrying extra weight in the heat is a heart attack waiting to happen.
Mental midgets.
am I the only one who noticed the common theme among these people?
PASS
Y’all are kind of dumb. Hello! 1913!!!!! Global warming? How about pretending to know anything about a cycle we only barely started observing. For there to be real understandable stats that can be used, there needs to be 3 periods of documentation. Early, Adjusted and Current. We are literally not even able to justify our “current” understanding of weather cycles because we are still comparing what we know now to what we used to know. There is other information available that explains this process in greater detail than people are aware. The Earth will always adjust itself while we “think” thinking about it is going to do anything.
If you want to die. This is the place to be
Here in the uk we moan about it being over 30° if it was over 50 here in the UK we might as well live on Mars If you want to cool down Antarctica is currently -49 But with a wind Chill of -62 thanks to a 19mph north to south wind
Try taking the temp in the dirt without any concrete around im sure will will be normal and not be a record stop trying to find new ways to set a record by bs
Touron is a more accurate term😬🤷♂️
If it’s 100+ degrees where you are.. Just get in your car and not turn on the ac. Stay there for 10mins and it’ll feel like Death Valley really quick without going to Death Valley in person.. same thing
A car can get hotter than Death Valley. Sometimes they can get up to 143°F!
many decades ago I traveled from Portland Oregon to Death valley in July and a circuit on my car melted that caused the car to overheat. What a nightmare that was.
hEy eVEryBodY iT’s hOt ouTSiDe. The MSM acts as though it’s the first time Summer has ever happened as they continue to exaggerate using heat index which is not the temperature.
Ego Maniacs.
Yo y’all is nuts
Why are they encouraging the dumb people to be dumb?
Seems like our energy problems could be solved by erecting a solar energy plant in Death Valley or much of the California deserts.
That is the main reason why since 2020, every new home built in California has to have solar panels, and I believe by 2024 it will also include every new business
“solved” LOL! You should be hired as the head of the Department of Energy.
My Father drove the two of us through Death Valley in the 60’s in the middle of the day (Summer, 120F) in a car with no AC. I was about 9 and kept telling him I was too hot, but he was a military vet and said to sit upright, chest out. I tried that for a few moments then started complaining again. He said, “This isn’t too hot. When I was stationed in Hong Kong in WW2 it was hot & humid. This is a dry heat. You’ll be fine.” But I could feel I was getting ready to pass out, then I saw green liquid on the passenger floor. My father said, “Look at the anti-freeze.” So I fell forward on to it and used my hands to elevate my head out of the liquid, which felt cool and passed out. My father yelled at me to get up but he never pulled over or anything. Near dusk I came to and got back up in my seat. My father said, “Boy I sure am glad you’re ok. Your Mother would have really gotten after me if anything happened to you.” On the radio the local news was about a married couple and their daughter whose car broke down that day in Death Valley and all 3 were found dead. So I guess I dodged a bullet that day thanks to the anti-freeze but wow, did I ever have a bad headache and green hair. Nothing like some severe child abuse to remind you you’re not in control at that age.
What the heck was wrong with your dad?
Jesus, and I thought my Dad was bad.
I can’t believe a more upright posture didn’t help. 😆
His brain was already melted.
A parent’s love can be so poor. Live on friend.
It’s a quick way to get a Tan I guess…
Smh 🤡
Then their families cry boo who when they are found dead. 🙄🤦♂️
I’m a cool seeker

It is much, much more difficult to survive 2 hours at 110°, than 2 minutes at 124° for a photo
tell me it was a little joke, if the car breaks down stay inside the car with the 😁a/c on
No joke. Where are you going to walk to? If you stay with your car you have shade, and a rescue party can spot your car much easier than you trying to walk somewhere.
More like hot heads!
Exactly were old people dont belong
and peeps still think solar panels dumb idea?
Imagine the wattage that could be soaked up and used…. FOR AIR CONDITIONING?!?!
That heat heat.
I’m getting credits to watch this video. Getting credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch this.
Its 117+ in Phoenix. Im good i kno2 what hot is lol no need for D valley
0:25 mmm dang… I need to visit Death Valley
Whyyyyy
Why do I see almost no one wearing a hat? How stupid can they be?
#DarwinAwardWinners
There will be more deaths as more and more people come for the thrill of being there. Taking a photo at 128 degrees is something to brag about but there are risks.
It’s all fun and games to most people until someone dies of heat stroke or hyperthermia
IT’S NOT HOT, IT HAUTE!😂 I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES THE PARK RANGERS HAVE HEARD THAT JOKE😩
I want a barbecue 😊
GO Home
I hope it gets hot enough that people just start spontaneously combusting … Hot enough out here for ya Ted? Har har.. wait a minute..too hot..too hot!!! Hothothothothothot heeeelp! The flesh..it buuuuurns bahahahahaha god your sick
1:06 & 2:04 Hey! Brett!
Temperatures are neither “hot” nor “cold”.
Temperatures are “high”, and temperatures are “low”.
Almost nobody in this reel wearing a hat for heat and sun protection! Hilarious!
If you want some good heat. Go jogging on the paseos in mid summer.
When are people going to learn that removing too much carbon too rapidly heats the earth even more
Meanwhile you’re posting on the Internet, driving a car/public transportation, buying groceries, wearing clothing, using plastic items, living in some kind of home/apartment that uses electricity and heating, etc.
I don’t understand the appeal.
It was 123 degrees there the other day at 2am in the morning 😂
“1-3 ppl die in the park a year, and yet there are still ppl willing to risk it” That’s not a risk bro considering how many ppl go there every year.
There are far too many stupid people there wearing black. Nature will take its course and eventually catch the stupids.
its always fun and games….”UNTIL SOMEONE LOSES AND EYE!!!”
these people are 1 flat tire from death!!😮 “the traveling fool”…
So the record 110 years ago has not been broken?
death valley is a place where you visit once lol
TR-h& nah i been there many times. Make sure your ac is good
These tourists. Good luck if the ac or car breaks down.
Simply foolish, there’s no point and your car may breakdown in the process and die in that heat.
If there were Aliens from other galaxies watching us “humans” do this they’d simply turn around and leave..
“No intelligent life here”, NEXT!
Every year is hot there stop with climate control its the sun not the earth
What’s wrong with white people
Morons.
If you can think of a stupid thing to do, there will be stupid people chomping at the bit to do it.
0:33 is that William Dafoe?
They can have death valley ! I’ll be in the AC !
I would rather go to Alaska
CRAZY HUMANS!!! I live 2 hrs west in China Lake and i dont even go outside in the summer if i dont have to. You ppl are nuts!! At 111, im staying in the house!!
Nothing to laugh about. We are destroying everything. Poor population, the least responsible of this catastrophe, are dying. Exon knew this was going to happen decades ago. Criminals!
Been there done that in July 2021 when record was set. Believe it was 132°
Too bad there’s a national “park” there keeping normal habitation down. A normal settlement would have a hospital and more gas stations or life for help around. It’s like the parks service is out to trick people into it to die there and generate cash for them only. Look at missing 411 and see they won’t let the deaths and missing even go public for our protection. They own our history and death rates on their land? Who are they?
cold weather is more dangerous for some people my parents always went to the desert for vacation we were hiking in the hills around palm springs in 119 degrees no one had problems what about the extremes the donner party faced can someone live nowadays above 86 degrees ?
