That's the worst thing about the desert...cactus. Brush up against one and it'll be sticking you for weeks. At least the thorns in the jungle stop stabbing you once you get out of them...and don't secretly ride on you waiting for you to sit down or lean against something just right.
I’ve lived in Arizona and done desert and mountain trekking. I currently live in the Pacific Northwet and while it’s not quite jungle it’s pretty damn close in places during summer. I much preferred Arizona despite water and shelter being way easier to come by here. On the other hand we have bears and elk which mean a real bad day if they’re in a bad mood. Arizona has rattlers, Gila monsters and such but generally you can see them from farther away than a big mammal in the woods. But yeah, know your turf as well as you can beforehand so you avoid nasty surprises.
To your benelli m4 comment. My grandfather was a marine platoon sergeant in the south pacific in WW2. His preferred weapon was a 12 gauge. He was issued wax paper shells at first which he kept wrapped in oiled cotton to keep them from swelling in the jungle. Eventually he was supplied with full length brass shells. Pre plastic.
Kegan is one of the few Military “influencers” that isn’t cringe, which is an accomplishment on its own. He seems like a cool dude even if he’s an officer.
11:11 I was a missionary for two years in Sierra Leone. I had a 3 liter CamelBak. A few times during dry season, my CamelBak went dry around 1 pm (we are out the door by 9am) bought a 1.5 liter bottle, got home and drank another .75 liter of water and my pee was still the color of honey. How much water you need I think would largely depend on knowing the limits of your own body. How do you find your limits? I suppose practice, practice, practice.
When in high UVlight keep skin covered so u don’t sweat out ur fluids and get turned into a dry sponge, also u have to have an apple or something to eat that has electrolyte or ur body won’t absorb water and u just stay thirsty even if u drank 10 liters u have to have that electro lyte
@@BBLphilosopher Sierra Leoneans use a lot of salt in their diet. Electrolytes aren’t a problem. The 110 degree days with 90% humidity is the problem. And I have large pores, I sweat a lot. There were a few weeks where the nights were just as bad. No electricity, no running water, no wind, when I’d wake up there’d be my shape in the bed made out of sweat. Oh, and the dust! We’d have to wear white shirts and ties, my shirt would be soaked by the end of the day, olí could literally ring it out. There’s so much dust in the air, my shirts were red. Not everyone sweats the same rate.
Honestly NC is like a bipolar woman, she can't decide if it's a rainy day or a nice day or a completely miserable day, no matter what time of year it is. It can be 80 with 100% humidity in the winter just the same as in the summer, and can sleet/snow in the spring/summer too. It's kinda scary really, its got me convinced THEY are tampering with our weather. Just felt like I should state that cause there's probably some Carolinians out there right now like "I wish it was hot!" Or "I wish it would start raining!"
That's why we have, "The Thing," or the M50 Ontos. As The Fat Electrician said, "when the trees started speaking veitnamese, they weren't doing it for very fucking long."
I’d be laughing, but my Nephew, who’s a Senior Chief in a Navy EOD Unit just got his Tour of Duty on GUAM extended for another year. Stuff’s getting Complicated.
Don’t take it too literally. Guam is trying to bolster forces all around. For example Marine EOD is trying to establish a presence there too and there’s potential for more peeps from Oki making their way to stay in Guam. The entire military is in a big reconstruction period since we have no active combat zones for conventional troops
I believe the gulf coast is a good analog for jungle warfare. Specifically places like south Louisiana where it’s as he mentioned 85 degrees and 100% humidity at midnight.
In some aspects. It’s flat & but difficult to hike through. Lots of jungles in the Pacific are three dimensional. You can’t move quickly on the ground there.

I was a conscript in the Brazillian millitary. I've had the luck to be trained by an SF guy who is speciallized in jungle warfare (we focus on that a lot in Brazil) and the main thing I got from it is MOVE SUPER SLOW or dont move at all. Its super easy to see movement in the jungle, also camoflage is suuuper effectice, in an exercise me and my buddys managed to sneak super close to the instructor and it would have been fatal to them. He even used that to point out how stale and slow jungle combat is, because a team of conscripts that was 7-8 months into training could take out a team that he, an SF guy was leading very easily. He did ask our leader what he did and we just didnt do much, we just lied in wait, and when we saw them we just crawled to some better cover. Its so easy to ambush people in thick jungle, if you are prone and have good camo there is no way a patrol will see you until they are right on top of you, but in the other hand the one waiting to ambush can see people patrolling standing up and hear their noite from very far away.
Not to see movement most of the times, because the vegetation may be thick and if so it will limit your field of view, but actually to be hard for someone to listen, because once you get used to that environment, everything that sounds different than natural you can notice pretty far away, even before actually see it, so you would aware everyone if you move fast making a lot of unnatural noises.

I was an instructor at JWTC in Okinawa for three years. Everything he said is true times 10. The weather is terrible. The flora and fauna will kill you.

Greetings from Taiwan, don’t know if should be happy or worried to see Taiwan on map 3 seconds into the video. I am no military guy but did spend some time in low altitude mountains, I have to say that water is so important. Imagine it’s 38’c with 100% humidity, and you have to move across 3 valleys covered by branches and vines in full gear. Just a few kilometers would make you suffer. A man sweat a lot, like me, may need 3 to 4 liters to move 10 to 20km a day, then hydrate some more during the rest. But on the other hand, it’s not a good sign if we have to fight against the Chinese in the jungles. Most of the habitable area in Taiwan has been urbanized, we have to stop them on the beach or in the cities.
I think you would be better off with very light gear in Taiwan because of the density of the jungles and the drastic rise in elevation. Water purifiers because there is a lot of water sources. You are absolutely correct about the beaches and cities. I wouldn't want to be on Jin Men Island.
Lt Dunlap is a good dude. Really funny and to me was always in good spirits when i worked with him. People give him shit cuz i think they see his vids everywhere but you can blame that on algorithms I think.
Jungle warfare lives completely rent free in my brain. My favorite LARP sessions are putting on my tiger camo and web gear, CAR15, finding the densest forest on the hottest days of the year.
I did my JWT a fair few years ago but the key aspects I remember are: 1. You never pass a water source without drinking what you are carrying and refilling 2. The enemy can easily be within 20m so no talking or noise, hand signals only, get your stink on so no deoderant or soap. 3. Navigation and radio comms are an absolute nightmare so your map to ground better be perfect. 4. Keep your weapon, crotch and feet clean as much as possible. 5. Dry clothes bagged for sleeping in, wet and sweaty clothes for the day 6. It is the purest form of soldiering, incredibly hard but excellent skill training.
Technically the US does have some jungles; the Great Smokey Mountains, for example, are considered a “temperate rainforest”. And let me tell you, as a native of the area, when it’s been pouring rain, the fog is hanging in the mountains and everything is flush with dense vegetation of every shade of green imaginable, it doesn’t look far off from a jungle at all.
South Florida is its own monster. Jungle tactics can apply, but theres a mixture of swamp, palmetto thicket, hammock, and forest that I dont think is anywhere else in the world. Personally i think thered have to be a completely new school of doctrine for SoFlo alone
@@keirosen the fields of saw palmetto, the thickets of Everglades palm (which are also covered in little saw teeth), the gators, mosquitoes the size of your thumb, water moccasins. Everything in the Everglades is either trying to eat you or stab you.
@@keirosen I've only ever seen them three separate times. One on a service road about 100 yards away (saw it through binoculars). As soon as it heard the motor come down the road, it crossed back into the sawgrass. Panthers are usually pretty skittish (airboats, cars, big groups, loud noises) but I wouldn't wanna be walking around out there at night, that's for sure. They tend to stalk from tree lines or where the water is shallow enough and/or there's enough cover for them to ambush. Again, I reiterate, no one should go walking those service roads at night. At least not without buddies, a floodlight, and a rifle.

Getting drafted to Israel is as lucky as it gets in WW3. That's pretty much a walk in the park compared to the Russian and Pacific theaters. It would be like taking part in Operation Weserübung compared to Operation Barbarossa.
This is just amazing. It's one of the very best episodes you've done. I haven't learned this much from a single video ever before. Thank you. Kegan is awesome, BTW.
Pretty much all of Appalacia is a jungle in the summer time. Only its filled with green briars and multi floral rose instead of palm trees. Still have the mosquitos and biting flies too.
Jungle warfare mixed with drones will bring about the comeback of shotguns as necessary kit. Perhaps even the return of the Aa-12 or the usa-12 or some other fullsemi shotties.
Pretty sure they’d just buy more Benelli M4’s for the Marines and give them turkey loads to drop drones with. If they’re already relatively Marine proof, I doubt the Benelli’s going to choke in the jungle.
Those of us who have done patrols with the PI Marines in the Philippines during the rebel attacks or have been stationed in a Jungle base like Schwab etc. Jungle warfare bites both literally and figuratively. Jungle is badness man.
Well I was going to continue watching your video but not now .. that Devil Dog you have with you is covering everything I've already learned at camp lejeune and Oki. I was just sitting here thinking why am I watching this?. 😂
@@AdministrativeResults here is a fun fact for you I am actually sitting on the toilet while I'm responding to you right now 😂 Note to self,no more circle k burritos..
I was in okinawa back in 2019 to 2020 with 4th Mar Reg on camp schwab. was in jungle warfare training center as a comm marine saw a bunch of guys come through for the training. I never went through the training that the guys came up there, but I got to hike the area, and it was beautiful and definitely hard to travel if you weren't prepared for it.
If I was an enemy fighting the U.S in the jungle, the thing I would fear most is the moment they start playing the Vietnam playlist. You are sitting on a log at your patrol base, drinking some water while everyone around you is either doing the same or prepping gear or whatever and you hear in the distance the wvrrt, wvrrt, wvrrt of rotor blades and the beginning of Black Sabbeth's Paranoid because at that point, the Americans have said "fuck it" and they are going to embrace the Vietnam memes and the potential of you dying by jungle jelly and the abundance of trees dropping has climbed 500%.
I’ve been reading “Good to Go” about Seal Team Two in Vietnam and man I’m glad I don’t have to do that. Also doing all of the night operations without night vision is nuts.
That is called submarines sinking enemy transports, the Merchant Marine and SeaLift Command hauling our stuff, and spooks learning secrets and missleading the enemy by sabotaging enemy bureaucracy. It is also the E4 Mafia transfering equipment.
Awesome video by two awesome dudes. He's not lying about how gnarly habus are, a reptile keeper at the old Bronx Zoo in NY narrowly avoided a serious bite by sheer dumb luck. The snake's main fangs actually overshot his finger and the normal fangs got him instead, even found one stuck in his finger, he learned his lesson and never got tagged by a venomous snake again. Also, love your Px4, what comp/brake do you have on that cause it looks slick and sick.
It may not technically be a jungle but the Appalachian wilderness in summer is extremely thick and you could probably apply much of this to that environment.
Read Larry Chambers' books about his tours in Vietnam as a LRRP. Death in the Jungle is a great start. Gary Linderer's books are awesome, as well. They served on the same team occasionally.

Where are we? Fubar island. Looks like a stealth jungle sir! ... drops you in landlocked desert instead. Carrier taskforce heads to extra-dry dock for repairs due to contact with enemy sandcastle.
Having been through the Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa, and several extremely shitty field ops in Thailand, the Philippines; can confirm. Jungle fucking sucks.
Southern/Coastal Georgia, Florida, Coastal Alabama, Louisiana, Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands...lots of places with thick underbrush (jungle or jungle like) all year long that usually have high humidity, lots of heat, bugs and rain.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. You can never be too prepared when it comes to taking care of yourself and those around you. Be the person you know you will need in any emergency and you will never regret it.
I've lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for the last 16 year's. Been working, playing, and hunting in the jungle here the whole time! Best jungle rifle, mini-14 tactical (5.56). LOVE IT!

@@AdministrativeResults Everybody asks why or when is Kagan Dunlap, but now HOW is Kagan Dunlap😢
We should be asking HOW is Kagan Dunlap
I did my JWT a fair few years ago but the key aspects I remember are:
1. You never pass a water source without drinking what you are carrying and refilling
2. The enemy can easily be within 20m so no talking or noise, hand signals only, get your stink on so no deoderant or soap.
3. Navigation and radio comms are an absolute nightmare so your map to ground better be perfect.
4. Keep your weapon, crotch and feet clean as much as possible.
5. Dry clothes bagged for sleeping in, wet and sweaty clothes for the day
6. It is the purest form of soldiering, incredibly hard but excellent skill training.
i read that some guys in Vietnam would wear pantyhose under their pants to keep leeches off of them
@@sonar357 Yeah we wore lycra cycling shorts. Not ideal but better than getting leeches down there.
Boy I can't wait to figure out why military vehicles are being painted green again.
lol I can wait. Being 25 and Australian is like prime time for being mc graped in the bum for being thrown into said awful scenario.
Just send in the Floridamen and the Cajuns, problem solved.
You had a chance to use the Predator soundtrack and ..... DIDN"T !!
Admin does live in a desert.

Budget "Becoming Deadly In The Mountains" isn't real, it can't hurt you
Budget Becoming Deadly in the Mountains:
Technically the US does have some jungles; the Great Smokey Mountains, for example, are considered a “temperate rainforest”. And let me tell you, as a native of the area, when it’s been pouring rain, the fog is hanging in the mountains and everything is flush with dense vegetation of every shade of green imaginable, it doesn’t look far off from a jungle at all.
It also has Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, the US Virgin Islands 🇻🇮, Hawaii, and some other pacific islands
@@prgamer241 Also Southern part of Florida, Miami, homestead and everglades are "tropical" climates
Can confirm, I live 10 mi. from the entrance to the smokies, it gets miserable in kit during the summer.
@@danielkantor5693yes but that’s all flat
The Olympic rain forest is pretty gnarly. Would love to train there with the boys😂
Ozark mountains in Summer are like jungles. I have been to Thailand and Malaysia and apart from the animals the density of vegetation ia similar
The Zoomers yearn for the jungles...
The Jungle is Neutral by Freddie Spencer Chapman is an excellent read for anyone spending time there.
That was on the required reading list for 1st SFG.
As a lifelong south floridian, my time has come
South Florida is its own monster. Jungle tactics can apply, but theres a mixture of swamp, palmetto thicket, hammock, and forest that I dont think is anywhere else in the world.
Personally i think thered have to be a completely new school of doctrine for SoFlo alone
@@keirosen That would be neat tbh especially in the everglades
@@keirosen the fields of saw palmetto, the thickets of Everglades palm (which are also covered in little saw teeth), the gators, mosquitoes the size of your thumb, water moccasins.
Everything in the Everglades is either trying to eat you or stab you.
@@Khan.WrathOf the panthers. When you see one a health bar appears
@@keirosen I've only ever seen them three separate times. One on a service road about 100 yards away (saw it through binoculars). As soon as it heard the motor come down the road, it crossed back into the sawgrass. Panthers are usually pretty skittish (airboats, cars, big groups, loud noises) but I wouldn't wanna be walking around out there at night, that's for sure.
They tend to stalk from tree lines or where the water is shallow enough and/or there's enough cover for them to ambush. Again, I reiterate, no one should go walking those service roads at night. At least not without buddies, a floodlight, and a rifle.
make an arctic training video where you just tell people to not eat snow for 30 minutes straight youre so funny and cool
We're a whole grid off classic 😂
That frog skin camo 🤌🏼
My cousins that would have existed if it weren’t for .45 ACP would know a lot about this subject.
"The biggest horror of fighting in the Pacific is that the swarms of mosquitoes will fly off with your rifle while pulling an impersonation of Count Vrad the Dlacula" - Some Asian dude, probably
Boys follow you for the tactical ints and tricks but men like me?
We follow you for the spicy memes.
@7:00 Some embarrassingly high-ranked Marine has definitely considered weaponizing venomous snakes at some point, I bet the US mil has at least some experience air-transporting snakes. Not a dumb question.
SIR! THE AMERICANS ARE DROPPING SNAKESSSSSSS
Born too late to be deployed to Vietnam, Born too early to be drafted to Isreal
Born just in time to realize America should focus on its own borders rather than spend tax payers money and lives for other countries problems to enrich a small corrupt elite
You'll make fine boots, son.
Born just in time to throw money at Ukraine
Even if you're not 15 or above, it's not a war crime if you win.
Getting drafted to Israel is as lucky as it gets in WW3. That's pretty much a walk in the park compared to the Russian and Pacific theaters. It would be like taking part in Operation Weserübung compared to Operation Barbarossa.
We got duck hunters here in Louisiana that should be with every dismounted moving squad... Just saying it'd be the best🤠
No lie...I'm a master marsh stomper...teal season.gator duckblink negation.
This is the oddest cross over in UA-cam history…. It slays
I like working with people I think are neat
How is a gun enthusiast and a marine hanging out odd at all lol
This is just amazing. It's one of the very best episodes you've done. I haven't learned this much from a single video ever before.
Thank you.
Kegan is awesome, BTW.
Sounds like infantry school in Savannah Georgia during the summer.
Pretty much all of Appalacia is a jungle in the summer time. Only its filled with green briars and multi floral rose instead of palm trees. Still have the mosquitos and biting flies too.
Jungle warfare mixed with drones will bring about the comeback of shotguns as necessary kit. Perhaps even the return of the Aa-12 or the usa-12 or some other fullsemi shotties.
I think that would only work on non tropical jungle
Won't work
@@paivajcm true, Drones aren't suitable for almost all jungle and semiauto shotgun would jammed up
Pretty sure they’d just buy more Benelli M4’s for the Marines and give them turkey loads to drop drones with. If they’re already relatively Marine proof, I doubt the Benelli’s going to choke in the jungle.
@@Verdha603 but not in tropical jungle
I’m in the middle of a Pacific rewatch so you chose a great time to release this.
Tactical Snake Evac....
Hisssss
@@AdministrativeResults sweatband link? i need one for RnG matches.
Endangered snake dying from crayon tainted blood…..
@@AdministrativeResults 900 IQ Admin moment
too much MGS
Not gonna lie those Business Insider videos got me putting together a jungle rig too 😂😂
The silent hell yeah 😂
It makes me happy knowing someone else loves the USMC WWII frogskin as much as I do. Its the freaking best.
Those of us who have done patrols with the PI Marines in the Philippines during the rebel attacks or have been stationed in a Jungle base like Schwab etc. Jungle warfare bites both literally and figuratively. Jungle is badness man.
Especially in South East Asia due to their climate
The "red sun in the sky" song at the beginning segment after the skit is gold.
Nobody-...
Admin- "Evac that snake!"
Hearing Ushio say "You got Drafted" to my face would definitely make me cry too.
Well I was going to continue watching your video but not now .. that Devil Dog you have with you is covering everything I've already learned at camp lejeune and Oki. I was just sitting here thinking why am I watching this?. 😂
Refresher course I guess
@@AdministrativeResults lol yes you can never get enough training.
You never know I could have missed something 👍🏻
@@AdministrativeResults here is a fun fact for you I am actually sitting on the toilet while I'm responding to you right now 😂
Note to self,no more circle k burritos..
@@sqeekms6186it’s like taco bell. You always regret it later on but end up crawling back for more anyway
I love Kagan he's a cool sir, also the fact that the LT was lost is the most accurate part of this LMAO
“But Hey Dummy yer in the Dessert”
I was in okinawa back in 2019 to 2020 with 4th Mar Reg on camp schwab. was in jungle warfare training center as a comm marine saw a bunch of guys come through for the training. I never went through the training that the guys came up there, but I got to hike the area, and it was beautiful and definitely hard to travel if you weren't prepared for it.
"Well, I guess Puerto Rico."
Camp Santiago has your back for all your 100+ weather needs, whether it's degrees, humidity, or both.
If I was an enemy fighting the U.S in the jungle, the thing I would fear most is the moment they start playing the Vietnam playlist. You are sitting on a log at your patrol base, drinking some water while everyone around you is either doing the same or prepping gear or whatever and you hear in the distance the wvrrt, wvrrt, wvrrt of rotor blades and the beginning of Black Sabbeth's Paranoid because at that point, the Americans have said "fuck it" and they are going to embrace the Vietnam memes and the potential of you dying by jungle jelly and the abundance of trees dropping has climbed 500%.
I’ve been reading “Good to Go” about Seal Team Two in Vietnam and man I’m glad I don’t have to do that. Also doing all of the night operations without night vision is nuts.
Im in the high desert of idaho. This is perfectly useful to me. Thank you daho
I just thought of something, Administrative Warfare.
That is called submarines sinking enemy transports, the Merchant Marine and SeaLift Command hauling our stuff, and spooks learning secrets and missleading the enemy by sabotaging enemy bureaucracy. It is also the E4 Mafia transfering equipment.
Awesome video by two awesome dudes. He's not lying about how gnarly habus are, a reptile keeper at the old Bronx Zoo in NY narrowly avoided a serious bite by sheer dumb luck. The snake's main fangs actually overshot his finger and the normal fangs got him instead, even found one stuck in his finger, he learned his lesson and never got tagged by a venomous snake again. Also, love your Px4, what comp/brake do you have on that cause it looks slick and sick.
It may not technically be a jungle but the Appalachian wilderness in summer is extremely thick and you could probably apply much of this to that environment.
Honestly, dolly sodds is so damn thick and wet it might qualify ….. as your mom!!🤯
Great to see Kagan Dunlap here. He's a beautiful proud prancing pony!
😂
"Trying to survive the jungle warfare"
South East Asia: that's a win for us
Read Larry Chambers' books about his tours in Vietnam as a LRRP. Death in the Jungle is a great start. Gary Linderer's books are awesome, as well. They served on the same team occasionally.
Combining the horrors of WW2 era jungle fighting with the horrors of 21st Century high-intesity mass-scale warfare as seen in Ukraine
Oh, yippee, I can't wait to get my draft card...
One of the better videos you've done in a while. Kudos.
The information that was related in this video was completely amazing.
Fellow crayon eater and felony creek veteran here. Thank you for your cervix Mr. Dunlap sir! 🫡
Gearwise, we operated wearing rainboots (yes those boots) and a chest rig plus our pack.
Those "high speed low drag" gears like helmets plate carriers are only worn in garrisons
Come to Eastern Kentucky and redo this video.
Our temperate rainforest would be perfect.
A bit on the mountainous side but should be good enough.
Asia has mountains
Didn't read the description, just clicked on when I saw a new Admin video. My brain tickled for a few seconds before I recognized Kagan, love the collab!!
This also works incredibly well for Central and South American theaters/hispanic guerilla warfare
Where are we? Fubar island. Looks like a stealth jungle sir! ... drops you in landlocked desert instead. Carrier taskforce heads to extra-dry dock for repairs due to contact with enemy sandcastle.
Good discussion and we are in the early days of WW3
Closest to Jungle in AZ we got is the top of Mount Graham in the South East. But it just a really lush pine forest.
The US does have a lot of “Concrete Jungle”.
It’s awesome to see Kagan branching out and doing collabs with guntube. Hope this is a trend for him
7:08 me when im zoning out during the class my NCO is giving me in the field while im picking at the grass
Right when the ad started, i thought, "I wonder if they have a grip cut out for my px4." Literally, the next second, you whipped one out. Fuck yeah.
Having been through the Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa, and several extremely shitty field ops in Thailand, the Philippines; can confirm. Jungle fucking sucks.
Southern/Coastal Georgia, Florida, Coastal Alabama, Louisiana, Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands...lots of places with thick underbrush (jungle or jungle like) all year long that usually have high humidity, lots of heat, bugs and rain.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. You can never be too prepared when it comes to taking care of yourself and those around you. Be the person you know you will need in any emergency and you will never regret it.
I've lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for the last 16 year's. Been working, playing, and hunting in the jungle here the whole time! Best jungle rifle, mini-14 tactical (5.56). LOVE IT!
