I'm not on Xtwit, so I can't see any comments on this video. I'm curious, how was this video made? What was following this idiot through that maze and continued filming after the crash and then the truck sideswiping him? Or is it AI?
The whole vid is great. The part that shares how some of the shots are done is the ad starting at 4:49. Insta360 is what he has in the vid. Has software to remove the stick. There are some other ways.
 
You were lucky. In central Texas it would have been one big rock, a half mile long.

I had to fence the north and east boundaries on our property. I told the neighbor who had a Bobcat with a rock drill, if he'd punch 4' deep holes every 10', I'd pay for materials. He drilled 4" holes and I put 3" pipe in each hole, brushed the rock dust back in the holes and filled each pipe with water. A week later, strung 5' v-mesh with a single strand of Gaucho barbed wire on top and not a damn pipe moved. I don't think concrete would have held better.

Rock is great if you have the money or means to get around it.

Alaska, land of beautiful nature, millions of gallons oil. The 80s was actively pumping fuel from the Northslope of Alaska to Valdez where ships would bring the oil to the States to refine it. In 1982 Sohio Oil hired Columbia helicopters to test an idea out, pull a barge, The purpose of this test was to evaluate the ability of a helicopter - the Boeing Vertol 107-II - to tow a fully-loaded hover barge over water, snow and ice and see if it could be potentially useful.
The test began in Prudhoe Bay on June 17. The Vertol’s 600-foot long line was connected to hover barge ACT-100, jointly owned by Global Marine Development and VECO. Air blowers on the 170-ton barge forced a cushion of air under the barge, which was kept in place by rubberized skirt material. This first test was run around Prudhoe Bay with an empty barge, and was successful. During this and subsequent tests, the aircraft often flew with a nose-down angle approaching 25 degrees. Next, ACT-100 was loaded with 40 tons of cargo for another close-in test run. Once more, the helicopter showed it could move the barge despite the additional weight. The final aspect of the test was to tow the hover barge over a 50-mile course to a drill site named Alaska Island where Sohio had just completed an oil well. During the tow to the island, headwinds over 30 knots were encountered, and snow and ice buildup were also factors. Regardless, the Vertol was able to bring the empty barge to the island successfully. On the return trip to Prudhoe Bay, when this photo was taken, the barge carried 50 tons of cargo, bringing the total weight to 220 tons. As with the previous tests, this task was accomplished successfully. This photograph is one of longtime Columbia Helicopters’ photographer Ted Veal’s most famous photographs.
 
Even worse do they ever get the nasty stuff completely from underneath their finger nails? I’m not talking about ordinary dirt.

Never mind, her finger nails are probably treated like VC pungy sticks.
If you had to go hands on with that thing you can expect to get scratched, which could result it some nasty infections and possible sepsis if not treated. I mean boiled out with hydrogen peroxide and some serious antibiotic ointment.

The med community stopped washing any wounds with H2O2 a long time ago.

Short of it, it causes issues with the tissues and delays healing.

Soap (just good soap, not antiobiotic) and lots of clean water is the best for cleaning wounds.

An amputated and degloved leg from a crush with the rocky mountains as the anvil got 12L of washout.
Then 9L more 2 days later.
And IV antibiotics of course.

I dont use 3x antibiotic cream on cuts unless they show sign of infection.
But what do I know?🤷‍♂️
Even nasty nasty contamination.
Wash wash wash.
If its contaminated and bad enough it needs stitches, they will likely put a person on some Keflex.

Just face the truth. One scratch from its fecal encrusted claws and you’re dead. Send for the preacher and get your affairs in order. It’s got to be worse than a bite from a black mamba. Stick a pistol in your mouth. It’s got to be quick and there will be less suffering.
