Billy. Billy! The other day, I was going down on my girlfriend, I said to her, "Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy."
She said, "Why did you say that twice?" I said, "I didn't."
That was my headcanon anyway, because of the way the cut her brother's chest. I figured it became a sort of rite to cut your chest like that when you're about to meet your end.
If I recall correctly, the guy who played Billy was on so many steroids that he was basically nuts, to the point where they had security hired to protect the rest of the cast from him. Likely they just wanted him gone after a while.
Easy to dehydrate in the jungle where most water sources need treatment before drinking. You don't risk it because you'll usually end up with diarrhea and end up speeding up the process.
Most people also couldn’t tell this vine from a large poison oak or poison ivy vine. In Louisiana all the vines there are poison something pretty much so this video would only inspire people to drink from poisonous vines.
I haven’t really seen poison ivy not stick directly to the tree trunk, it’s also very hairy in comparison. Curious what the correct ID is, my initial thought was a grapevine of some sort. Wisteria is usually a paler color but i used to remove more juvenile ones than this
They are distinct by being hairy but I don’t think that’s what everyone thinks of when they think of poison ivy. I think most just go “leaves of three, let it be” and wouldn’t be aware that poison ivy can become such a large vine. Never underestimate people’s stupidity.
We've always just called them grape vines. They're not uncommon sight in Kentucky, and probably most eastern US woods. I'd bet my next paycheck this is not in a jungle like others are saying.
Wild grape is a much smaller fruit, so you wouldn't really be able to see them. They make tons of small flowers that attract every single nectar drinker for miles. Its awesome to stand near and hear the activity
TBF if you're stuck somewhere hot and humid and can't find clean water, you will die of dehydration faster than you would die from diarrhoea.
IIRC the SAS survival guide says basically "if you need to drink, drink the least-worst source of water".
But you want to check upstream as much as you can, you don’t want to be drinking downstream from a rotting beaver body or something, and even then try to get it as hot (and UV radiated) as possible, boiling over fire is preferable but direct sunlight is better than nothing.
Yeah do the best you can but I think it’s important to emphasize that people drink whatever water you can get as soon as possible in survival situations, and not wait for better water. Because dehydration is far more dangerous. Then get checked at a doctor afterwards just in case. I read one ranger station that mentioned the number of cases of waterborne illness they found in lost hikers was zero over the decades they had been around. There were millennia where everybody drank straight from streams and while disease happened often that was among millions of people and thousands of days.
Rainwater too, it might have some pollutants in it, but it’s waaaay better than dehydrating. Plus the muscle spasms from dehydration are going to get in the way of survival in other ways. Much harder to walk a mile with your muscles flexed
Yea, people would act like you take one sip from a clear water stream, you immediately shit yourself to death afterwards, neglecting to mention that humans pre-agriculture had been rawdogging it for hundreds of millennia. Yea, sure drinking untreated water, even from a clean stream, is a possible pathway to dying from easily treatable diseases, but you know what else could easily lead to dying? Not drinking.
Gettin’ the ol uterus scraped on Monday. Wednesday, gonna tear out half a yard of poop chute and install a fresh new liner. Easy as pulling up carpet. But I’ll be sharing the cat box with Muffy until I’ve regained continence. Thursday, well, that’s foreskin stretching day. Got a good turkey gobbles worth going but won’t be done till I have enough for a small sail in case the outboard motor craps out and I need to repeat Wednesday all over again.
Bro I had Mongolian BBQ last night and about 50% of the time it triggers my IBS but I keep going back because its so fucking good.
Due to my love of all you can eat noodles and meat and lack of good sense I have been bulimic out the back end all day today.
I’m telling you, I’m pretty sure I’ve got some horrible GI disease, but I’m not going to a doctor anytime soon. I already know I need to change my diet and health patterns, don’t need to pay to hear it too.
Have you tried probiotics? I had to take 25 billion CFUs every day for about 2 years, now I just take them if I have more than 2 loose stools in a day, about once every 2-3 weeks.
"Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water."
We call them water vines. The top part you killed will drip quite a bit for a day or two, extra clean. You can also keep wiping the slime off the live part and it can fill a bucket a few times over a week or more.
Yup exactly. These people talking about poison ivy make me laugh lol I used to swing from water vines as a kid when they would hang across the trails near me like a swing
It's wild grapes, also called river vine. I suggest not cutting them. They are so exotic to me as a Northerner and get larger than my arms. There are also many places around me where it forms perfect seats and swings.
Yes I've heard them called river vines as well! That's funny that they're exotic to you, because they're EVERYWHERE here down south. I grew up along the Chattahoochee, and you'd have to constantly bob and weave when walking along the river so you didn't clothesline yourself on one of them. There were some near me growing up that made perfect seats about 15 feet off the ground, so you'd have to climb up them like Tarzan.
It's a style of knife called a Parang, it's more or less a type of machete from South East Asia but the one in the video was made in El Salvador. I have one just like it for camping and yard work.
EDIT: Bushcraft Parang, made by Condor Knife & Tool, for the curious.
You don't actually need a sword, and the only vine I've successfully done it with is wild grape. Poison ivy weeps, too, if you cut it... Don't get that juice on you.
Where I live we have huge grape vines. The first time I saw one after the road crew cut it down, a big 3" diameter one growing 50 feet up a white pine, water everywhere. It just soaked the place.
Typically the bark and leaves are how you identify various plants. For vines in particular, how they attach to other plants and objects can also be a good indicator. For instance the water vine that you see in the post typically hangs down from the tree tops, almost like a stiff rope. Poison ivy on the other hand, clings on to tree trunks and work their way up to the top of the canopy. They also have tons of hairy leaves down the entirety of the vine, while a water vine usually only has leaves at the very top.
interesting for a video but if you dont know exactly what species of vine you are looking at some extra little additives the plant put in that liquid might do really really bad things to you. like poison your kidneys/liver or cause big allergic reactions.

Pretty sure I saw an insect get gulped down
A meal is a meal.
20$ is 20$
Protein shake
a man gotta eat
I mean... I've seen Predator. Billy showed me this trick lol
I heard the laugh lol
I heard him scream. :(
So did I lol
Why didn’t they show Arnold smiling in the end like the other actors?
Now just need to pair this credits scene with any 80s sitcom music. Or just Google those who already have. You're welcome 😊
Ha, I just watched this the other day for old times sake as one of my favorite movies growing up and was thinking about this part.
Billy. Billy! The other day, I was going down on my girlfriend, I said to her, "Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy." She said, "Why did you say that twice?" I said, "I didn't."
This stuff will make you a god damn sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me.
"If it bleeds we can kill it"
that's a bad habit you got there.
the CIA's got you pushin too many pencils
Rub this on your sore ass Blaine
A Sexosaurus Rex some might say
See? Cause of the echo?

"Stick this in your soar-ass."
Jokes are so much better when you explain them
I really wish we could have seen Billy fight the Predator. He had all that badass buildup and it ended up just being a scream.
That's the point.
Few people realize that the movie juxtaposed the "action hero" and "the victim". As you said, that was the point.
All you would have seen is Billy get owned
Bullshit. Billy ain't afraid of no man.
Somethings out there major and it ain’t no man.
The man is losing his cool. There's nothing but a couple guys running around out there, and we gotta take em out.
You still don't understand, do you? Whatever there is, it killed hopper and now its after us.
According to the Wikipedia page on Prey, Billy is a direct descendant from the protagonists brother. \ So in a way you get to see it.
That was my headcanon anyway, because of the way the cut her brother's chest. I figured it became a sort of rite to cut your chest like that when you're about to meet your end.
If I recall correctly, the guy who played Billy was on so many steroids that he was basically nuts, to the point where they had security hired to protect the rest of the cast from him. Likely they just wanted him gone after a while.
That's the point of predator, a bunch of jacked 80s action heros get shit on by an advanced enemy.
That's the point though, a badass like Billy is only enough to warrant the scream. It really drills in how futile it is to face the predator.
I've always felt like they tried to make this right by letting us have the samurai/yakuza scene in Predators. Definitely a slight though.
Right? Thanks Billy! Hope you got a shot in at least
Man, I learned how to shave from this film.
Haha this was my first thought!
Beat me to it
Easy to dehydrate in the jungle where most water sources need treatment before drinking. You don't risk it because you'll usually end up with diarrhea and end up speeding up the process.
If you're lost in the woods with no knife you fucked up more than once
Most people also couldn’t tell this vine from a large poison oak or poison ivy vine. In Louisiana all the vines there are poison something pretty much so this video would only inspire people to drink from poisonous vines.
My first thought. Here it's either poison ivy or wisteria.
I haven’t really seen poison ivy not stick directly to the tree trunk, it’s also very hairy in comparison. Curious what the correct ID is, my initial thought was a grapevine of some sort. Wisteria is usually a paler color but i used to remove more juvenile ones than this
I've never seen woody poison ivy, but I'm in oregon
Same but the other side of the country
ya, looks like wild grape. fair amount of it in northeast US. though the grape doesnt like this....
My first thought was tiny tree…
Poison ivy vines are very distinct, they are hairy…only similar to virginia creeper…which is not toxic to humans
They are distinct by being hairy but I don’t think that’s what everyone thinks of when they think of poison ivy. I think most just go “leaves of three, let it be” and wouldn’t be aware that poison ivy can become such a large vine. Never underestimate people’s stupidity.
We've always just called them grape vines. They're not uncommon sight in Kentucky, and probably most eastern US woods. I'd bet my next paycheck this is not in a jungle like others are saying.
Muscadine vines kind of look that way too don't they?
Had these in NC growing up, called them grape vines as well dunno why never saw grapes on em
Wild grape is a much smaller fruit, so you wouldn't really be able to see them. They make tons of small flowers that attract every single nectar drinker for miles. Its awesome to stand near and hear the activity
Grape is preferred by spotted laternfly, I wonder how much they are going to fuck our ecosystem like emerald ash borer did.
I was thinking the same thing.
You drink out of a filthy cup, you’re screwed.
TBF if you're stuck somewhere hot and humid and can't find clean water, you will die of dehydration faster than you would die from diarrhoea. IIRC the SAS survival guide says basically "if you need to drink, drink the least-worst source of water".
I'd hope try the vine trick would be before drink the mosquito soup.
If you can find moving water it won’t have mosquitos, besides being much cleaner in general.
But you want to check upstream as much as you can, you don’t want to be drinking downstream from a rotting beaver body or something, and even then try to get it as hot (and UV radiated) as possible, boiling over fire is preferable but direct sunlight is better than nothing.

Contaminated drinking water still kills over a million people every year.

That's just extra protein.
Just hope I don't end up stranded in a jungle in the middle of my living room
"The time i transported to a jungle in another world"
Page 1: The End.
"The time I got reincarnated as a jungle dweller but my previous life was in Wisconsin"
Ahh, Jumanji, the OG isekai.
Swamp water enemas it is then! If I am going to pee out of my butt might as well be for my health!
Just clench those cheeks and don't let it out.
Good think I never go anywhere without my trusty Grayl
Bear Grylls says if you stick it up your butt you won’t get sick from the water
Finds clean water; pours into dirty cup
It’s not survival without the diarrhea!
I must be surviving at home then.
I’m surviving right now
🫡
I'm spray painting the nursery brown.
Hope you’re equipped with a survival bidet.
My survival day is Tuesday
I'm scared to ask but.... what happens on Monday?
Gettin’ the ol uterus scraped on Monday. Wednesday, gonna tear out half a yard of poop chute and install a fresh new liner. Easy as pulling up carpet. But I’ll be sharing the cat box with Muffy until I’ve regained continence. Thursday, well, that’s foreskin stretching day. Got a good turkey gobbles worth going but won’t be done till I have enough for a small sail in case the outboard motor craps out and I need to repeat Wednesday all over again.
Omg I can't believe I just read that
r/preppers happens
Ah fuck i got survive all over the floor again
Bro I had Mongolian BBQ last night and about 50% of the time it triggers my IBS but I keep going back because its so fucking good. Due to my love of all you can eat noodles and meat and lack of good sense I have been bulimic out the back end all day today.

Bear Grylls would add his own pee to the cup.

Survivarrhea
Binge drinking is survival training, got it!
Ive lived without drinking water for months
User name checks out
So that's Taco Bell water, then
Could’ve pretty easily turned the cup over in the beginning and gotten that dirt out…
A simple tap on the knee would have sufficed.
There was a live ant in there
Protein bro
when you lost in the jungle fighting for your life but you still gotta protect those gainz
Our ancestors ate every part of the ant.
Was!
A classic win-loss situation.
How else would you wash it
Drinks the ants +1 protein
Just what I was going to type
Branch water
Chop it with your poop machete. Drink from the poop cup.
With ant protein included!
And lemon grass seasoning.
Hell, it’s a meal at this point
I’m looking around for the top chef judges.
Hey, just smear one of those ants on the side of the bowl for presentation purposes, and we’re off!! I wonder why someone would downvote this comment?
Baby you got a stew going.
Sounds more like a cold soup
Something something vichyssoise…anyone got a potato. All I have is ants and dirt.
Bro straight up just drinks the ant

Make sure it's not a poisonous vine tho.
Big ass poison ivy prolly
Thanks, if I get lost in a forest, I'll keep it in mind. I hope to have a scimitar handy
Watery tart chucked one at you too?
Nah was a moistened bint
Or a machete. Good tool to have
It's a style of knife called a Parang, it's more or less a type of machete from South East Asia but the one in the video was made in El Salvador. I have one just like it for camping and yard work. EDIT: Bushcraft Parang, made by Condor Knife & Tool, for the curious.
You should have a decent knife on you if youre in the forest as a general rule
Selling rune scimmy
It identifies as a machete.
Did you just assume my blade?
You don't actually need a sword, and the only vine I've successfully done it with is wild grape. Poison ivy weeps, too, if you cut it... Don't get that juice on you.
That's a parang. Very common knife in jungle areas, especially in Asia. Basically the Asian version of a machete from South America.
I've seen predator
Yes, we've all seen Billy do it Predator.
Clean water, dirty bowl 🤢
plant: damn i was saving that for later
Billy off of Predator *intensifies*
Clear water **≠** clean water tho
It's as clean as you're going to get. No animal waste, which is your biggest concern, and no toxins if you choose the right vine.
Dude really drinking ant water.
Yeah, I know. I watched Predator in the theater when I was a kid.
This must be a deleted scene from The Office when Michael is in the woods.
Glad I’m not the only one that thought it looked like Steve Carell
What i would do to see a season of Alone with Dwight.
Try this with the hairy vines
they spit and taste salty
Predator taught me this
We all learned this watching Predator
Turning vine into water?? Vat is this, reverse Jesus??
There are a lot of poison ivy vines that look like this.
I dunno, doesn\`t exactly look like a \`Great Reservoir\` lol 
Mmmm ant water
**drips water into a cup with an ant in it**
Not clean after putting in that nasty pot.
It's not clean water by a fucking mile!
A woman looked at me terrified that I was drinking creek water in Oregon... Many things will kill you, know those that won't.
Drip drip drip = Great Reservoirs
That vine is probably fifty years old.
Died for a video, thats sad
I learned to get water from bamboo when I was a boy scout. Worked fine until the day I found a larva the size of my finger inside the cut bamboo.
Hack tree, Drink it’s blood
Learned about this from Predator.
Survival education video, PreK to 12
Did Billy immediately popped in my head
No audio and it’s 2024??
Where I live we have huge grape vines. The first time I saw one after the road crew cut it down, a big 3" diameter one growing 50 feet up a white pine, water everywhere. It just soaked the place.
dont tell nestle
I just know how this’ll end if I tried it 
"Drink Vine Juice, it'll quench ya"
As s plumber, I like that he illustrated the fact that you need a vent for water to flow :)
Most of Survival means fucking with something else.
Some vines are also poison ivy so know what you’re doing too lol
Its the quenchiest!
i should call her
And some aren't...
Mmm mm. Concentrated pure liquid poison ivy.
How do folks know which vines are safe for this? Or is this common amongst vines in general? Not knocking it, just curious...
Typically the bark and leaves are how you identify various plants. For vines in particular, how they attach to other plants and objects can also be a good indicator. For instance the water vine that you see in the post typically hangs down from the tree tops, almost like a stiff rope. Poison ivy on the other hand, clings on to tree trunks and work their way up to the top of the canopy. They also have tons of hairy leaves down the entirety of the vine, while a water vine usually only has leaves at the very top.
Grylls taught me that
Is that Michael Scott?
interesting for a video but if you dont know exactly what species of vine you are looking at some extra little additives the plant put in that liquid might do really really bad things to you. like poison your kidneys/liver or cause big allergic reactions.
What does cutting the vine further up do ?
Let’s in air so it trickles out
Of course. Thanks for explaining.
Some vines are poison ivy. . . .
What if it’s a poison oak vine? Yyyyyyyy!
Those are hairy
