Visiting the Closest Town to Space (Life with 50% less oxygen)

Holy shit, how did you manage with 65% SpO²?

When we were offroading in South America, one of us dropped to 80% when we were in the Andes and he was seriously ill because of it. We almost broke up the trip. In a hotel it hit me too when I woke up and felt like I was suffocating, but no matter how much I breathed the feeling wouldn't go away. One of the worst experiences in my life. I take my hat off to you for powering through this.

Dang! Moved from California to Colorado during COVID. Took me months to adjust to the altitude! But CO is worth it ❤

ben şok oldum, insan hayatı için ne kadar uygun olabilir ki orası.. sırf altın için.. aman ya rabbim

I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). It feels like what he calls altitude sickness, but at sea level and O2 doesn't help 😅 Thank you for showing us this amazing footage of such a unique place in the world!

I can't think.. more oxygen please

Türkiyenin en büyük kanalı helal olsun

Mi Perusalen :v

Merci pour ce reportage édifiant.

Never knew a place like this existed! Wow.

Not worth it!

Ruhi utilizando aire en todo momento*
Los lugareños: y este homosexual 🤨🏳️‍🌈

I don't give a damn how much Gold is up there I am OUT!

Not Interested.

RUSO EXAGERADO MAMON

😢

What was it like going back to <1000m above sea level? I imagine that your body felt way better

Your lucky you're not dead. I am glad you at least emphasized on how bad this really is, otherwise people could think it's okay.

i thank you god for what you have given me and will give me and i am eternally grateful.

i sincerely wish a better life for those there. God bless them

Is this real???

Man, one thing is Coca leaves and another thing is cocaine... write cocaine's material when you're speaking about Coca?

No se si haya otras razones pero para mi da la impresión de que estan ahi solk para acerse ricos, no es por necesidad sino por la fantasia de volverse millonarios, exponen niños y a los suyos por un poco de oro que se ganan si tienen suerte, no se pero refleja hasta donde te orilla la ambición.

Sangat menakjubkan🙏🔥

You and ur videos are perfect Ruhi Cenet!!!!

These people need to take into consideration and maybe they already do but having that much dirt going through the city its the right match for dangerous illnesses to come up as well. Terrrible unhealthy

Duvido visita a area 51

So many people living in absolute poverty - the world is a mess.

Great job documenting this region. My goodness especially with the difficulty you faced

And you have money to do this trips from....Stupid humans..

Спасибо за видео!

Кстати, горная болезнь может быть очень опасной. Вплоть до летального исхода. Лучше постепенно подниматься и аклиматизироваться.

Il y a moyen de gagner de l’argent mais à quel prix. C’est cher payer, une vie courte, difficile, dangereuse….

The fact that the locals they are used to it i feel like their lungs may developed something that normal humans dont have theres some planet low on oxygen that they might survive

Man needs to be intubated lol. Jk.

yav Türkçe yap şunları

I live in NY & a few years back I visited Colorado and got altitude sickness. Shits no joke lol

Only humans can survive with less oxygen and more garbage. Humans are really evolving! 😮

No thanks. I don’t want to suffer.

nothing grows there and yet people still grow their crops by the acid lake?

My mother in law's blood oxygen was 65 back on May 18th 2014. It was her funeral.

Askerde 3800 metredeydik düz yürürken bile nefes nefese kalıyorduk

Eso que hay otros lugares en el peru mas altos

The discomfort may come from your brain reading low oxygen whereas your blood reads low HCO. So your body says breath slower but your brain says breath faster. The trick is to walk a few blocks until your HCO raises, and that will settle things. For sleeping, if you wake up short of breath, prop yourself up on pillows so you sleep partially elevated. Normally when you sleep your breathing will slow initially and your oxygen level drops, but then you shift to a better breathing pattern and your oxygen goes back up. This is why you will suddenly wake up short of breath just after you fell asleep. Propping up on pillows seems to alter the breathing pattern to a more normal state. Not sure about the science on this and I'm speaking from personal experience. I've been at 14,000 feet a number of times and slept at 11,000 feet. At 14,000 feet I was able to run without becoming short of breath. My SO remained very low until I went to 1,500 feet in the Amazon jungle and my SO became a very high 100%. Just to add a relevant detail, my red blood cell count was well above average for those trips, so I was somewhat naturally acclimatized, similar to those who lived there.

Welp...

Scratching La Reconada off my Spring Break 2024 list.

Puro show q ase este vato

This area would be great for a far cry game or a game in general

sheer exploiting of the earth for her riches

Bruh ? Are people touching mercury like that ? Shouldn’t they be dead?

Mining for gold at this altitude is absolutely wild. Human greed knows no bounds I guess.

all the shots of the children living that way hurts so much. automation should be enabling us all to live comfortably, but instead the few hoard everything and force us to live this way.

Niye kendine bunu yapıyorsun Ruhi abii😢❤
