00:10Climbing mountains means pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone, but there's a point where
00:16determination can turn into a dangerous mistake. For this hiker what began as a challenging climb
00:25towards 2.700 meters quickly became an experience that could have ended very differently.
00:36Only the hardens come in the garden. Then the life starts first. What do I think of them?
00:50Is he at all about it? Come, Tobi. From me, you have to go. You have to go for it.
00:59It's dangerous, isn't it? Tobi, do you want to go further or not? I'll try it first.
01:13Look, you can't do it.
01:20Can't you?
01:21You can't do it. You can't do it when you go down here, you know?
01:25Yes, yes, like a river. No, I don't. There is everywhere that thing. You don't get up.
01:31And higher you don't get up. The only shit passage is this thing, right?
01:37Yes, you know, I don't have to go down here and then there is a little bit of a run
01:43here.
01:44Because there is still a gap. Yes?
01:46Yes. So the gap that goes down here, maybe there is also another one, there is also another one.
01:52Should I help you? Yes. Should I take your hand, Tobi? Yes, it's good.
01:59Come. Yeah, it's good.
02:04Don't go down here, don't go down here.
02:13Come.
02:15Don't go down here.
02:20Don't go down here.
02:20Don't go down here.
02:38Setting off with his fellow hikers, the group made steady progress as they climbed higher into the mountains.
02:45But the further they went, the more difficult the terrain became.
02:51The slopes grew steeper. The ground became harder to grip.
02:55And with every step, finding secure footing became increasingly challenging.
03:02As the climb continued, the man began to struggle, becoming visibly distressed, as he tried to push himself further.
03:13I held a.
03:14Ok...
03:16A.
03:16A.
03:22A.
03:51So, let's go.
04:11Ich komme bewusst nicht ran.
04:14Das bricht alles weg.
04:27Ich brauche eigentlich einen Griff, der leicht kleiner ist, aber in dem kann ich mich nicht festhalten.
04:42Okay.
04:43Komm, Vater.
04:46Du stirbst nicht hier.
04:47Du stirbst nicht hier.
04:48Du stirbst nicht.
04:52Du nicht.
04:54Okay.
04:57Okay.
04:58Ich mache das.
05:06Vorsicht.
05:07Die Teile.
05:09Ich komme.
05:13In der Flucht.
05:13Aber mit dem Fluch.
05:15Ich komme.
05:21In der Flucht.
05:23Und mit dem Flucht.
05:24to regain his balance.
05:27Desperate for help,
05:29he called out to his friends
05:31as he fought to get himself out of danger.
06:12I'm in the zone.
06:34Eventually, he managed to reach a safer spot,
06:37completely out of breath
06:38and desperately trying to recover.
06:42Thankfully, he made it home that day,
06:44but the experience serves as a reminder
06:47of just how quickly conditions can change in the mountains,
06:52particularly when you push yourself beyond
06:56what the terrain allows.
07:02Exploring abandoned buildings can be exciting,
07:06but heading into an unfamiliar property
07:08as the sun begins to set comes with risks,
07:13especially when you have no idea who else might be inside.
07:18For this man, a quick trip to an abandoned building
07:21to do some graffiti
07:22took an unexpected turn
07:24when he realized he wasn't alone.
07:43Oh, fuck.
07:46Oh, fuck.
07:48Oh, fuck.
08:03Oh.
08:06Oh.
08:06Let's go.
08:39Let's go.
08:40Let's go.
08:49After arriving at the property, he began working on his graffiti, taking a quick look around the building before returning
08:58to finish what he had started.
08:59At first, everything seemed straightforward, but that quickly changed when he noticed someone in the distance.
09:09Let's go.
09:15Let's go.
09:16Let's go.
09:35Let's go.
09:40Let's go.
09:45Let's go.
09:54Let's go.
09:56Let's go.
09:57Let's go.
09:58Let's go.
10:00Let's go.
10:14Let's go.
10:15Let's go.
10:25Let's go.
10:33Let's go.
10:37Let's go.
10:38Let's go.
10:40Let's go.
10:54Let's go.
10:56without being harmed. But the encounter raises an unsettling question. Who was this man and
11:04why was he so determined to chase him? Whatever his intentions were, the explorer had no way
11:11of knowing how the situation might have ended if he hadn't managed to get away.
11:18For Magda and Dave, spending time outdoors is nothing unusual. The pair are experienced
11:26outdoor explorers who enjoy traveling and experiencing nature. But one camping trip to Botswana brought
11:35them face-to-face with a danger that even experienced adventurers cannot afford to underestimate.
11:41Okay so we've just arrived at Quai River Community campsite and we didn't have a booking but Dave managed to
11:54organize. So we have got a campsite, we are following the rangers up ahead. How lucky are we?
12:04The Quai River, the stretch along here is a very unique environment.
12:10So much animal activity. Within 15 minutes of arriving here we've seen buffalo, elephant,
12:20giraffe, lion, lechwe, African jacana, fish eagle, warthog, guinea fowl. There's just stacks of gum, vultures.
12:43Fish eagle? You don't need anything more than to spend some time in this river. It's absolutely beautiful.
12:51The couple set out to explore the Botswana wilderness knowing that the area was home to
12:57dangerous wildlife and that camping there would come with risks. After exploring the surroundings
13:06they eventually found a campsite near the Quai River where they planned to spend the next few nights
13:12in the next few nights. This is unbelievable.
13:30So we woke up this morning super early and the lion walked into our camp. We were joking all night
13:38that
13:38jeez it would be really a must be mad moment if we could travel by lions. Well no, we had
13:45no cameras, no nothing.
13:47We sneaked out of the tent and now we're sitting here and she's so beautiful. Let me show you.
13:56Since five o'clock this morning we've had a visitor. She went down to the water to drink briefly and
14:01we used
14:01that opportunity to quickly pack up the tent to get in the car. We were stuck in the tent for
14:05three hours
14:06we couldn't get out. Well we haven't had coffee yet or breakfast or anything. While she's in residence we have
14:13to
14:15remain in our car until she decides to leave which could be
14:21this evening. Their first morning brought an unexpected visitor when they woke to find a lion
14:27inside their campsite. Although the encounter was unnerving there was also something remarkable
14:34about seeing such a powerful animal so close in its natural environment. However that experience was
14:44only the beginning of what would become a far more frightening night. As darkness settled over
14:51the campsite on their second night the couple were woken by the sounds of lions surrounding their tent.
15:18They're right here on my side. Right on my side.
15:25I'm sorry approach.
15:31Alright, there's a couple of them.
15:51Let me try and open on the end here.
16:00I don't know if they're fighting or mating, but either way we don't want to participate.
16:15Hearing predators moving around you in the middle of the night is one thing.
16:19But knowing they're so close, while you're lying inside a tent, offers very little reassurance.
16:27With the sounds continuing around them, the pair barely managed to sleep, left waiting for the night to pass while
16:36knowing the animals were somewhere nearby.
16:40Eventually morning arrived, and they were able to get up after making it through a night that must have felt
16:48incredibly long.
16:50Their experience is a stark reminder that camping in the wilderness means sharing the environment with the animals that live
16:59there.
17:02There's nothing quite like hiking out to a quiet creek with a friend, finding a peaceful spot to fish and
17:08spending the day away from the usual distractions.
17:11But for these two friends, a four-mile hike to their chosen fishing spot led to a confrontation that quickly
17:22ruined their plans.
17:25There are the falls right there. The left side, two anglers are fishing it. And that was supposed to be
17:31the ultimate ending for this.
17:32I mean, we hiked literally, what, four miles?
17:35At least, and this was the goal.
17:36This was the goal.
17:38I mean, I guess now we gotta fish up a little ways.
17:40Yeah.
17:42Oh, they might be going. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They might be going.
17:46Oh, no, he's going back in. He's going back in. Almost.
17:49I mean, this rain's coming down pretty hard, dude. This guy might be leaving soon.
17:52You guys probably can't tell, but I mean, I think you can tell. It's raining quite hard.
17:56And it's kind of chilly. It's like not warm out here, so they might be calling it a day soon.
18:08You on? Oh, I'm on.
18:13He got a bar collar on.
18:16Good, how are you?
18:19Having luck today?
18:21Where are you guys coming in from?
18:23Where do we come in from?
18:28What's that?
18:30Where do we come in from, bro?
18:33We just parked.
18:34Where did you guys come in from?
18:37I don't know exactly. I didn't drive. I don't know, man. Sorry.
18:40Where did you walk in from?
18:43We weighed up the creek.
18:44Where?
18:46This creek?
18:48This creek.
18:49Explain to me exactly where.
18:50About four miles downstream.
18:53Yeah, four miles downstream?
18:55So, all those no trespassing signs you walked past, they didn't mean anything?
19:00Wait, which no trespassing signs?
19:02The whole side's mine.
19:04And there's no way you'd walk through down there if you didn't go on my road that has no trespassing
19:09signs on the road as well.
19:10Otherwise, you swam across the creek pool.
19:14Huh?
19:16You can't?
19:17Go ahead, show me. Let's walk.
19:19You guys know you're on my property and you're playing games with me and it's pissing me off.
19:22Which road?
19:23You can come in on the state land in the state parking lot?
19:26Where you're trespassing someone's name on the parking lot?
19:29You can get out of here.
19:30Look, you guys know you're playing games so just be truthful with me and then I'll send this to DEC.
19:35I will find your license so I have it on record.
19:37If I catch any of my cameras again then I will send you.
19:40After making their way along the trails, the pair finally reached the creek and settled in to fish, expecting to
19:49enjoy a relaxing day outdoors.
19:52However, their peace was interrupted when a man approached them and began questioning what they were doing there.
20:00He wanted to know how they had reached the location and after the pair explained where they had come from,
20:07he insisted that the land belonged to him.
20:11He also claimed there were numerous signs warning people not to trespass, leaving the two friends in an increasingly uncomfortable
20:20position.
20:21In the state land, there's no way, this way on the state land, you didn't get to this spot, you
20:27got to this spot without swimming and you're not wet.
20:31You're waiting in the river.
20:32Do you want to walk down? It's not that way, that's all my property.
20:36I'm walking in the woods to be like these days.
20:38So great, if you are publicly on property that is not yours, I have a right to ask for your
20:45identification.
20:46Otherwise, I promise you, with my motorcycles and all the boys up there, we're going to get to your car
20:50before you.
20:51We're going to take a picture of every license plate and we're going to have your picture that can tie
20:54to your license and your driver's license.
20:57We parked past and parked in a parking lot right there and it did say...
21:03You went through a gate, correct?
21:05No, there's no gate. There's no gate.
21:07I'm not comfortable with the way you're talking to us.
21:09I'm not comfortable with the way you're talking to me, standing on my property.
21:12You're being very aggressive. So, what we're going to do...
21:14It's my property. We had no idea.
21:15You know you're not on the right property. Do you own any property in here?
21:18Because I own from all the way down there until all the way up there.
21:23You know what we can do? We can go, I'll have the rest of my crew call the DEC, I'll
21:28meet Ranger Jim here with you guys and you can get formally sighted if that's what you'd like.
21:32We're going to leave, we apologize, okay?
21:34Jason, when I asked you where you parked, why are you lying to me?
21:38Because why do I want to tell you where I parked? You seem like a dangerous individual.
21:41Oh, stop with your dangerous millennial crap.
21:43Right now, you're on my property and if you parked up there, you went through a combo gate that you
21:49either had a key to or you stole my combination.
21:52Alright, let me... I'll handle...
21:54So, start telling the truth instead of playing games with me.
21:56And you can post it wherever you want. I don't care.
21:58Sir, we literally came, we're four miles from the parking lot. Four miles, we came through...
22:03Show it to me on your GPS.
22:05There's no, you know there's no connection here.
22:07I got mine. You ready?
22:08Okay, show me yours.
22:10You have no, we don't want to tell you where our car is because it seems like...
22:12Stop. You're on my property. I can have you arrested for being on my property.
22:17We're not trying to...
22:18And you're playing a game with me, which you shouldn't be doing.
22:20If you just answered me honestly from the beginning, when I simply asked you, where did you park?
22:26Why do I want to tell you where I parked?
22:27We were honest.
22:28When you're standing on my property and then you're hiking up into my property, that's not along the river.
22:33And for the record, I own to the midpoint of the river.
22:36But the confrontation didn't end there.
22:38The man began demanding to see their identification and his behavior became increasingly aggressive as he filmed them and continued
22:49challenging their presence on the property.
22:52The pair apologized several times, seemingly trying to calm the situation down, but he wasn't initially willing to let things
23:02go.
23:03With the man becoming increasingly intimidating, they had to carefully navigate the confrontation while trying not to make matters worse.
23:13Show me how you walked in.
23:15No.
23:20Listen, he and I are cool. You and I, I don't really understand your attitude standing on my property and
23:26you're breaking the law.
23:27Go ahead.
23:28I apologize, you were scaring me a little bit.
23:32You're scaring me too.
23:33I'm out here with my family and I got my boys up there and you guys are on my property.
23:39And I apologize, now that we know there's a property, I'm very, very, very sorry.
23:41You knew it was my property when you went on it, because if you got to this point, unless you
23:46swam, there's no way, and you and I both know it,
23:49and all you had to do was be honest in the beginning and I would have given you a hard
23:52time, because I got kids a little bit older than you.
23:54And I understand the mentality. It's okay if you cut a corner every once in a while, but if you're
23:59on somebody's property, it's perfectly fair for me to ask for your information.
24:03Okay, thank you.
24:04And you know, you didn't walk down along the river to get to this point, correct?
24:10We...
24:10Yes or no?
24:11We pretty much did.
24:13So, for you to do it, you had to walk up past my neighbor's houses up over there.
24:18Go ahead, show me.
24:18Sir, just let...
24:20Go ahead, walk.
24:20I'll just walk you.
24:21Okay, you can walk with it.
24:22I'll just let you know.
24:2495%, we walked across the river.
24:25The other 5%, we never saw a single house.
24:28There's no way down here.
24:29It's a 50 foot drop.
24:31There's no way...
24:32You scaled it.
24:33Exactly.
24:34And then you're up past my neighbor's house.
24:35Okay, we did not see any house, but yeah, we can go ahead and go.
24:39And where you entered on the other side, there's the no trespassing sign right there.
24:44I put up four of them.
24:46And do be careful, it is a bit slippery on these rocks.
24:52Eventually, the situation began to settle down, giving the friends an opportunity to leave.
24:58They got out of there as quickly as they could, but what should have been a peaceful day fishing
25:04had turned into an encounter they certainly hadn't set out expecting.
25:10When you're miles down a trail, and someone confronts you like this,
25:14you have very little idea how far the situation might escalate,
25:20making getting away safely far more important than winning an argument.
25:27Four encounters that started with people simply wanting to explore, enjoy nature, or spend time outdoors,
25:34but ended up being experiences they won't forget anytime soon.
25:38Which encounter do you think was the worst?
25:41Have you ever experienced anything unsettling while out exploring?
25:48The End
25:48The End
25:49The End
