Me, I personally wouldn't disregard the warnings of native inhabitants who know the natural surroundings well, anywhere. That's so many generations of human experience, regardless of what you believe in.

My brother passed away today. Mr Ballen he loved your videos. He battled a drug addiction for years and he was doing good…your videos brought him peace of mind which he rarely ever had. He struggled for so long. And thank you for doing what you do man. Watching this one for him. Sorry if this is depressing…you made him incredibly happy thank you.

Wow. Thank all of you for the comments. No this isn’t fake lol…I usually never even comment on YouTube videos. And yes beef I guess that is weird. What’s more weird is the approach you took to call me out on that. I didn’t hold my brother dying in my arms and pull out my phone and comment on a YouTube post. Hence if you read what I said I said today..not right now. Not ten minutes ago. Not last month like you said. But today. And people grieve differently. But I pray for you as well homie to deeper peace and happiness as you may not have that yet. And to anyone who thought this was weird or inappropriate. I apologize. We both knocked out watching mr Ballen and at the end of the day. It wasn’t for anyone but Mr Ballen to know his content can truly help people out. Again thank you everyone 🙏❤️. Anyone who battles this or knows someone who battles this I will keep you in my thoughts and pray for you as well! You got this. They got this. Crazy how negative some can be in a comment section. True Mr Ballen may have never seen it for the 20 people hating but 6 thousand people did and 590 of those people understand. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers

Side note if you ever find someone who is starving or dehydrated to almost death, do not give them lots of fluid or food. They will puke it up and do more damage to themselves. Small sips and small bites.

[gabrielboorom]

Our oldest gift our ancestors left us when we were born is our instinct, our "gut feeling", when we can sense something is wrong before even knowing what it is. Never ignore it. Do what it tells you. Those who do ignore it may not survive. If you're wrong, you can laugh about it later ...but if you're right, you might learn just how narrowly you escaped death or things worse than death.

Anytime there’s a warning in a story…you know it’s gonna be ignored

[RocketDraco]

I love how you add the “not real photo” or “real photo” it’s such a small detail but really appreciated 🙏

One thing about this story that I love is Chief Ouray. He was trying to save these men in 1874, this was right after the government had promised to keep miners off his tribes territory. The federal government never once kept that promise. Chief Ouray complained about the miners in 1872 and he had continuous renegotiations over tribal land, which ended up basically reducing their land significantly and their land rights for a small amount of money because the government threatened war if they didn’t agree. All of this and he still just wanted to see those men live. He was an incredible person who saw value in human life. Every human life.

Shout out to Chief Ouray and his wife, Chipeta. I live in western Colorado where they are still legendary figures.

I love this! My great grandmother (Sunshine Cloud, ) was Chief Ouray’s granddaughter. Most of my family (maternal cousins/aunts/etc, ) live in the Southern Ute reservation ☺️. I’m super proud of my heritage and hearing new things surrounding the Southern Utes and my family makes me excited!

[TripleDCrook]

@MrBallen I’m in the hospital after getting my leg amputated below the knee. Watching your videos has really helped distract me and pass the time. Thanks John!

[dtaylorchuckufarle]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Mr. Ballen for going out to the San Juan Mountains in the dead of winter to tell this story? It's not fit for man nor beast out there.

[sheridangardner]

I literally live in Western Colorado by the San Juan mountains. Chief Ouray is a big deal around here. You should never ignore warnings for superstitions about an area from a native American. They’ve been here so much longer than we have and they know what’s up.

[Flight]

As a Native American I absolutely fully approve the title of this video & I would also reiterate "Never ignore native wisdom".
Another banger Mr Ballen well done brother.👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻

[Video]

Growing up in western Colorado, we all know this story, but nobody tells it better than Mr. Ballen. Great job in using the plot twist at the end.

Don't drink alcohol to warm up. It brings your blood away from your organs, giving the illusion of warmth while it freezes you. That, and it doesn't last. You'll be colder than you were to start.

[EuniceFrederick-xwbn]

Telling stories with pictures is actually the best thing. I appreciate Mr ballen for that

[shpgrl]

My jaw literally dropped when he said who it was that had killed the men. Wow. Crazy story.

[conrradotorres]

*Native advice while in the woods at night:*
If you ever hear the voice of a loved one call you out or you hear a whistle. DO NOT respond or whistle back, leave immediately.

[blanquiat]

My father just passed away and these are helping me keep my mind in a better space. Thank you MrBallen!

[earthearth]

Can't believe it's already been 2 years since I have been following this channel! Thank you for these amazing stories, which substituted for my boredom and anxiety...
