Massive respect to all the branches of Norwegian Military for giving Magnus the opportunity to venture into their work and letting viewers around the world to see.
These are the professional units, so they don't just get conscripts by default like the rest of the normal millitary units in Norway, but have to get volunteers of sufficient motivation and fitness level to sign up. So to the military this is advertisement to appeal to those people to volunteer. That is why they let Magnus do this, because it is free advertisement for them. Really they should pay Magnus for the ad content just like any other advertisement agency, but i guess Magnus gets enough money from the UA-cam exposure to make it worth while any way.
@@titter3648 Not to mention it's totally badass getting to do something like this. I'm sure he enjoyed the opportunity regardless of financial compensation.
Yeah, not a sign of tail going between the legs, instead calmly waiting during the lift and the tail started to wiggle when the job was around to start.
The dog was the highlight of the two part series. I love how he is trying to climb aboard to help get himself up to get to the good part he craves the action.
I love the part with the simulated dog attack and they’re telling Magnus to get down and he just replies in the most nonchalant, “uhh no I don’t want to” 😂
This video is insane, the things you were put through to the fact that the people involved actually were nice enough to speak English during all of it is astounding. I salute you Norway as a fellow Swedish neighbour. /salute.
it is obvious a recruitment video using a celeb local resident in Norway. But it still was fun to watch. I guess these fellas goes on mission to capture and handle crisis at sea.
@@somerandomchannel382 I’m not sure about that. Magnus has made several videos with them but also with US military. I just think he has a general interest in the military but dedicated his life to climbing and this is his wad of getting that experience seeing how most Norwegian males serve but he didn’t. But ultimately who knows 🤷🏻♂️ only magnus. Either way it was great content just like all his other videos
Can we take a moment to appreciate that we went from "climber takes normal girl climbing" to "civilian climber rolls on missions with multiple national special forces teams" Crazy journey we've been alowed to experience with you Magnus.
Haha I love how Magnus first instinct was to sort of freeze and take cover when shots started at 17:50. But after a little encouragement through the push in his back he continued forward and managed to engage te 2nd target himself. Props for that
Reason why SWAT and special forces units hold hands on each other's shoulders when entering rooms is precisely this. Your brain's natural instinct is to back out from danger, but in order to neutralize it you really have to make a quick and overwhelming entry. So someone literally has to push you in to danger when your natural instincts tell you otherwise.
Really nice of the Norwegian SF to do the whole thing in English so all of us can understand. These Men are a rare breed of warriors that deserve our respect and support.
@@mosubekore78 Everyone 65 and under speak understandable or better English. And probably well over half of those over 65 does as well.

If society collapses and vigilante justice becomes a thing, Magnus' recent videos are going to be a record of the origins of Norwegian Batman.

What I respect about magnus is how seriously he takes all of these situations, its also likely one of the big reasons they allow him to participate. Most youtube content creators always try to make things like these seem "fun", laughing and giggling in every scenario. Im talking mostly about the training scenarios, he's attentive and fully engaged in the topic. Also I'm not saying its bad to laugh sometimes, or to have fun. But constantly doing it is just a sign of immaturity. Magnus is there like he is being recruited, its a lot more of a showcase of what goes on in the coastal ranger commando and less of a content-oriented "fun" trip to a normally serious profession. And I love that.
I was a seargeant in the swiss army, which is a militia. When we did things with scenarios, we could see that it is very personality dependent if someone can get into the head space and take it serious or if someone just can't do that. Large part to that is also how it looks. If someone has to play through a scenario looking at a cardboard on a stick, it's way harder to do that instead of doing it with either clothed dummies or even in two teams, blanks and gear that tells you if you're hit or not. Same for firefighting exercises: if you can just make a room dark and fill it with disco smoke it makes a huge difference to putting a sign on the door frame so you see what should be inside when entering.
yeah i hate those special forces video's too where the youtubers are clearly making fun or being childish all the way thru, when in reality the training they're getting a very easy version of is extremely hard sometimes even deadly for actual normal people who go thru it
Incredibly professional bunch of guys. The amount of prep they put you through to assess your mindset for challenging the exercise is very respectable.
And after all that, they still didn’t really let him do it. The boat was going pretty fast when the first few guys and the dog went up. Then they’re basically not moving when Magnus goes. Still awesome, for him and the unit too. But yeah ultimately he really didn’t get to do the full challenge. Though he did get to go down at the end at full speed! Still super legit.
I have so much respect for Magnus. It's still insane how well trained the men are. There was a clear difference between how Magnus operates and how they operate. in 19:30 everyone but Magnus used their barrel-grip hand to open the door in order to keep a finger near the trigger 24/7. Their speed was also immensely superior compared to Magnus, but needless to say he did really well for a newbie/novice just as the rest of the squad claimed.
18:18 When you exited onto the cat walk the way you parred the corner by not exposing your weapon barrel is a very good procedure. They clearly taught you a lot more than you showed during this experience. Well done Magnus, incredible work indeed.
I mean by now there is enough good info on CQB on the internet that this should be one of the very basic things you learn just by being remotely interested in the topic. I understand not showing team specific TTPs, but there are only so many ways to clear a room, and the effective/common onces are mostly free on the internet, if you know what to look for.
@@shaneh7519 Sure thats possible. Also what i meant was that the described concept is so common by now that i don't really see why that would be cut out. Or they just thought it wouldn't be as interesting for the average viewer base. I am a nerd regarding CQB and tactics in general, so i can't say how interesting other people would find that.
@@Ommel195 Most likely the case they didn't want to include every single part of instruction and training he received to keep the pace of the video up, don't think those things are what they refer to as their confidential tactics etc.
I am in the Hungarian BL KMZ (for 11 years now), and let me mention, I am amazed by how well you did, I also watched a couple of your videos, because you really got my interest. I have never ever during my 11 years seen someone like this. I am probably for the first time amazed haha. Most people just don't have this in them.
Yeah I saw other guys who completely froze up in tense situations and had no idea what even went down. This man went through it pretty smoothly and got out of the surprise situations well too. Tiszteletem amúgy.
I think Magnus is obviously an incredibly capable guy generally. He's very fit, clearly, but on top of that has a very calm and level-headed approach to things and is very situationally aware. I think he could have excelled at any number of things if he'd taken a different career path than climbing.
I love how Magnus is very respectful and takes this very seriously. Even if it is an exercise and likely modified for his sake, he never gives it less than his all and does not treat it as a joke.
When I first saw the video trying out for the Costal Ranger Commando, I thought it would be like any if these "Trying the Seal etc etc training" but this is actually the first time I've seen someone actually try and even with the military themselves, so cool and inspiring. Keep up the amazing work Magnus its truely amazing!
They'd definetly be the edge above the marine corps. The marines are a well trained bunch but these guys are special forces, and damn good at it at that. Not familiar with rangers enough to say anything about them.@@derpyduck5088
I was struck by that too. Were those blinders (as well perhaps as protection)? Seems it might be easier on the dog if it just couldn't see the crazy position it was in until it was over the rail on deck...
@@peteranelson The helmet has earpro, eyepro, a rail for a tactical light or IR-light, also you can attach a dog muzzle. Quite ''must have'' on any type of CQB, VBSS etc.
it's amazing, this dude could've been an amazing special ops solider or full climber, he choose the latter but had full potential to do either. This man is a legend, Magus, you're the shit.
Love the inclusion of the malinois, Military working dogs are an amazing asset that don’t often get recognition especially for where there able to go and what there able to take it’s also funny work is just like one big game to them. PS between climbing and trying stuff like this your probably one of the most well rounded and most badass UA-camrs I can think of keep up the great work
The best part of this is how nervous Magnus looks and yet how he keeps pushing forward. There's no courage without fear. We saw the same thing when he free soloed with Alex Honnold.
nervousness ("healthy level") is effective in the process of initiate action. It is a state of mind who psychologically forces your energy and action outwards. Just like fear the secret is being aware and having it under control. As former military with decades on solo missions in the middle east, russia and elsewhere (civilian) I do not put much "emotions" into my Fears. Maybe it sounds counter intuitive, but with experience you learn how to compartmentalize part of your own psyche and emotions. Borderline schizophrenic you might say, but the best way for survival and keeping your head clear. Doing solo stuff in hairy situations you only have yourself to relay on. Even our mighty Lord would agree with me on that :) Cheers and Happy New Year !
I just realized... The production quality and value of this is insane. I was thinking first how you could record that, but you had like 2 camera angles of everything and inside shots before entering rooms. Now I wonder who filmed you and how everything went, like a behind the scenes or introducing the people. And that looked really badass, ngl. Also the guys from the military all seemed like pretty nice and chill people.
What a fantastic series! Definitely my favorite of the military ones so far. Best part was when the dog takes Magnus down and the scene is all intense, then a second later the dog is sitting there happily smiling and wagging its tail 😂
Magnus is a lost asset to the spec ops community, but good for the audience he ended up doing what he does. What a talented, focused an able young man. Respect.
I used to be in military (elite unit not special force), now i get in to climbing for 3 month now and still stuck on 6B. you inspiring me to do climbing, thank you!!!
I served 12 years on a SWAT team and you have a natural instinct. The one corner you realized that your barrel was protruding and pulled back thus exposing your position. That is marvelous from a non operator. I will go into battle with you anywhere! I also offer my respect to the Norwegian military, they are squared away! Great video!
One thing I appreciate about Magnus is how his channel has changed. Many artists - especially UA-cam creators - get trapped by an identity they developed early on in their work. A lot of them burn out. Magnus, I respect that you’re not letting that early identity hold you back from who you want to become. Full support bro.
There's a reason why the UK Royal Marines and Special Forces are trained in Norway with/by the Norwegian Forces: they're some of the best in the world, and the environment is one of the harshest and toughest! It was great to see that they seem to employ Mixed Martial Arts (boxing, jiu jitsu, etc) in their hand-to-hand combat training, and I feel this is absolutely necessary. I loved that the dog had little "socks" or "boots" on his feet lol, though I imagine this is a safety precaution. Dogs are certainly a man's best friend, but I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of their duty! lol Thank you Magnus for giving us an insight into the Norwegian Coastal Ranger Commandos, and thank you to them for allowing this to happen! These dudes are amazing, and I'd love to see more! Love and respect from the UK, and here's to a long continued friendship between UK and Norway! 🤘
Flip, Magnus, you are just a natural, those movements, I imagine your stamina also shocked your trainers, as you are just another level compared to a normal civilian. Fantastic video. You've inspired me to join a local Thai boxing place to learn some self defense as well ❤
Dude the insane story arc of "just" being an amazing climber, then to doing huge collab videos to now this? What the fuck man. Awesome job Magnus. For real man, incredible.
I agree, and my friend from Finnland told me once that all the tv shows are in eng with subtitles and that's why basically everyone learns English from watching tv. ^^ Oh, and we here in Switzerland have four national languages and speak English on top of that, but most of the time I use English and French and Swiss German ofc :D Cheers
While the Scandinavian education system is really good and progressive, this probably has a lot to do with Norway being part of NATO as well. Especially as specialized forces, you do need to be fit in English. English is used for all international communication, on exercises and maneuvers. And on real missions as well, obviously.
@@Nitidus not really. Non-military speak about the same level as seen in this video here. Might be different with some older people, though. The amount of nato exercises the average soldiers experience wouldn't be enough to make a huge difference. Germans and French are nato also, and the population there is far worse at speaking English. Has a lot to do with how few people speak norwegian, same with Danish and Dutch et.
Besides primary school we learn english through movies, tv shows and computer games pretty early. We dont do voice over on our movies (thank Odin) but subtitles.
This is insane! Now, that is what I call quality content. Thank you, Magnus, and, of course, thanks to the Coastal Ranger Commando for the very fascinating insight they enabled Magnus to experience, and by extension, us as viewers.
Magnus,if you read this great,if not oh well...but as a person who practices or at least studies hand to hand combat every single day and teaches as well I have to say you have got a giant set on you man. The stuff you went through on this and multiple other videos is seriously difficult and dangerous and although I'm sure you were frightened (if not you are stupid) you gave max effort,like you are known for and it is seriously truly impressive. Thank you for the phenomenal content you continue to provide!!!
Magnus it would be awesome to see english subtitles for the few moments you guys speak norwegian! I'm so proud of you for passing the test to do this mission. You really are an elite athlete with incredible strength and an even better attitude.
20:05 - I love how the dog's trained not to bark when finding the explosives, presumably not to allert potential enemies! Or maybe I'm just reading into that too much!
Kudos to Norwegian Coastal Ranger Command for allowing Magnus to become part of their team, provide great training especially the cover the head test. Magnus responded well for a civilian with minimal training. If Magnus ever gets tired of his UA-cam channel he would make a great Coastal Ranger.
I am so happy for Magnus that he gets to do these things and share them with his almost 2 million subscribers. I can still remember the first vlogs in their house which they were renovating. Amazing how far he's come!
I'm not a climber, but I was in the military so I guess that's why UA-cam suggested the channel, loved all of them. Magnus does a great job of getting stuck in and being really professional too, great content. The dog was badass too.
This is truly the best channel on UA-cam. The filming, the editing, the actual video content, and then of course Magnus' personality are all perfect for good videos.
I like how they didn't give you the expensive NVG set. Both a cost saving measure (you are more likely to bump into something with them) as to make it easier to identify you. That said. Completely badass that you did it. Respect.
Magnus, som en medbergenser kan jeg trygt si at du er en stolthet for byen og blant de beste underholdningsskaperne jeg har vært vitne til. Stå på med det fantastiske arbeidet ditt💪🏽
@@DetBlaaLyn Det eneste her som virker avvikende, er "sgu" :) Jeg vet betydningen, men det er nesten som å lese norsk uansett. For meg har snakkende dansk alltid vært vanskeligere enn skriftlig dansk :P
Magnus, your ability to access and provide us glimpses of exclusive and highly restricted corners of the world is unrivaled. It's uncanny how seamlessly you fit into any environment -- this resembles more of a 'day in the life' rather than 'guest trainee' video (that slight jump at 17:50 was the most obvious sign that you may not be a combat-tested Spec Ops soldier, and it wasn't that obvious). The production value is top-notch as always. Astounding. Also, 10:04 that CS:GO clip looks so realistic (haha)
i love how magnus adapts to the cqb. by the end of the video he has a nice c clamp grip on his rifle and he’s moving tactically it’s awesome to watch the progression
Hey Magnus, I just recently found your videos and I'm absolutely loving it all, can't get enough, you are inspiring. Im not a climber other than what I've done while on random adventures in the mountains and climbing alot of trees as a kid but now I want to get in to it more, just looks like so much fun! I can tell you are kinda an introvert but you really seem like a genuinely fun and kind person so thank you for sharing your life with the world. Keep up the good work!
I think this is the coolest series you've done yet and that is saying something. Not only is the content awesome, but the camera angles, editing, and music are so immersive. Plus the gorgeous location. AND a good puppy to top it all off. Perfect
There were so many times where I thought, "The Sergent is going to yell at him for clearing corners incorrectly.", but I'm glad they just let him enjoy the experience. This was a great video.
Yelling is definitely not part of the curriculum on these levels. It's like the SAS and SBS. They explain what to do and allows you to execute to the best of your ability, and take notes accordingly. That's all it takes.
This has to be the best ad for the Norweigan armed forces ever. I think the large majority of UA-camrs (even athletes) are far too silly to do something like this. Seriously good quality content, Magnus.
Yeah, I think part of the reason why the production quality is so high on these videos, apart from magnus just being very good at this, is this is definitely being helped by the military themselves as a publicity campaign probably. Win win, magnus gets to make a cool video, the military gets a good ad
Great video, I like how you don't ruin the vibe and the moment with too much talking, you keep it for the pauses and breaks, great stuff, it felt better than watching a documentary for me. Hope this grows more.
It was a "real mission", and they sent the cameraman first up the ladder? This thing with "the cameraman never dies" is getting absolutely ridiculous!🤣
When you compare how magnus and the operators do their stuff, you can really see the difference and the skills the operators have, its truly amazing to see
Production and story telling was fantastic these videos, especially when you're actually in the middle of physical challenges, tests, training and all the action.
This episode did not disappoint, Magnus! Excellent videography, editing, content - and of course the star of the video - the DOG! They brought the dog on the mission with his own military-issue booties and mask! Insane entertainment! 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
I have been to Norway several times. In my opinion it has some of the most beautiful landscapes anywhere. The backdrop in this video was amazing, working there must have been really awesome.
Been watching since the early days before you did you first collab with Juju, and been keeping up ever since. I have to say, the quality on the videos the last year especially has been nothing but amazing. The amount of work that goes into these videos where you do stuff with the military especially, both in Norway and elsewhere. Amazing job Magnus, from a fellow Norwegian sharing your name.
It’s crazy to think of how well trained you are when I remember you were only a climber in the past. You learned well and carried yourself as well as anyone trained in milsim/military-esque situations.
It's nice to see our Norwegian brothers using the Swedish Combat Boat 90 (or SB90N as it is designated there). Fingers crossed for NATO acceptance soon!
@@connorkitchen7156The only one fucking with Sweden's NATO membership is ofc our own little favourite dictator Erdogan of Turkey. He's blackmailing Sweden trying to make them give up the Kurds which he likes to bomb the shit out of time to time.
I like how the title of this more documentary like video is focused on the unit instead of "I" tried, competed, etc... It shows respect for the opportunity and their dangerous work. Big props and thanks to everyone involved putting this together and of course Magnus for taking the training/tests seriously to ensure we get to see this.
Really enjoyed this short series, it actually showed how intense this type of training is. Even on a really physically strong person this training can be really exhausting. Thank you for sharing!
Definitely the fanciest, most upscale, and high effort video I have seen on UA-cam. Congratulations to Magnus. And extraction, by rappelling into the boat, but stopping to sign off, was THE BEAST! Maximum SMOOTH! 😎😎😎😎😎 🎖️🥇🏅 🇳🇴 🇳🇴 🇳🇴

Not real
If society collapses and vigilante justice becomes a thing, Magnus' recent videos are going to be a record of the origins of Norwegian Batman. Surprisingly strong, agile, able to climb up cliffs and buildings much faster than most, trained with special forces and martial artists... The only way people will know he's around is criminals tied up in climbing rope and chalk on the floors and walls.
And strategically placed rungne ad pamphlets on the way.
Occasionally, a tshirt would be left behind
Instead of batarrangs he'll throw chalk from his chalk bag to disable criminals.
🤣
The dog looks more like batman hehe.

Large part to that is also how it looks. If someone has to play through a scenario looking at a cardboard on a stick, it's way harder to do that instead of doing it with either clothed dummies or even in two teams, blanks and gear that tells you if you're hit or not.
Same for firefighting exercises: if you can just make a room dark and fill it with disco smoke it makes a huge difference to putting a sign on the door frame so you see what should be inside when entering.
That's definitely among his prime abilities. He's mature and he has an intuitive and experiential understanding of physical risk.
He can make a sports or dangerous job documentary channel and I watch
I wish that Magnus can stay young forever
yeah i hate those special forces video's too where the youtubers are clearly making fun or being childish all the way thru, when in reality the training they're getting a very easy version of is extremely hard sometimes even deadly for actual normal people who go thru it

18:18 When you exited onto the cat walk the way you parred the corner by not exposing your weapon barrel is a very good procedure. They clearly taught you a lot more than you showed during this experience. Well done Magnus, incredible work indeed.
Also seeing high ready/low ready during the training simulations meant that he was taught to avoid flagging as much as possible. Very good.
I mean by now there is enough good info on CQB on the internet that this should be one of the very basic things you learn just by being remotely interested in the topic.
I understand not showing team specific TTPs, but there are only so many ways to clear a room, and the effective/common onces are mostly free on the internet, if you know what to look for.
@@Ommel195magnus has done other similar training. Could’ve known this from prior videos
@@shaneh7519 Sure thats possible.
Also what i meant was that the described concept is so common by now that i don't really see why that would be cut out.
Or they just thought it wouldn't be as interesting for the average viewer base.
I am a nerd regarding CQB and tactics in general, so i can't say how interesting other people would find that.
@@Ommel195 Most likely the case they didn't want to include every single part of instruction and training he received to keep the pace of the video up, don't think those things are what they refer to as their confidential tactics etc.
I started climbing because of this channel, and i just want to say i did my first one arm pull up yesterday :)
thanks magnus
Congratz!!!
👑👑👑
Damn, that’s impressive, congrats!
Congratulations.
Damn 1 arm! hey you dropped this *👑* Keep it going king!
I am in the Hungarian BL KMZ (for 11 years now), and let me mention, I am amazed by how well you did, I also watched a couple of your videos, because you really got my interest. I have never ever during my 11 years seen someone like this. I am probably for the first time amazed haha. Most people just don't have this in them.
Yeah I saw other guys who completely froze up in tense situations and had no idea what even went down. This man went through it pretty smoothly and got out of the surprise situations well too.
Tiszteletem amúgy.
szia én kondolkodom hogy hol kéne elkezdenem ezt a katonai karriert vagy tek-et. Ha nem nagy baj tudnál pár kérdésemre válaszolni? előre is köszi :Đ
I think Magnus is obviously an incredibly capable guy generally. He's very fit, clearly, but on top of that has a very calm and level-headed approach to things and is very situationally aware.
I think he could have excelled at any number of things if he'd taken a different career path than climbing.
I love how Magnus is very respectful and takes this very seriously. Even if it is an exercise and likely modified for his sake, he never gives it less than his all and does not treat it as a joke.
When I first saw the video trying out for the Costal Ranger Commando, I thought it would be like any if these "Trying the Seal etc etc training" but this is actually the first time I've seen someone actually try and even with the military themselves, so cool and inspiring. Keep up the amazing work Magnus its truely amazing!
The equivalent is the Coast Guard actually 😂
@@goodputin4324Nope. The Coast Guard also exists. But are not as elite.
@@goodputin4324not at all
@@goodputin4324 Not really. To us Americans, they'd be equal to our Marine Corps, maybe even Army Rangers
They'd definetly be the edge above the marine corps. The marines are a well trained bunch but these guys are special forces, and damn good at it at that. Not familiar with rangers enough to say anything about them.@@derpyduck5088
Coolest head gear on a dog ever!! Also, Magnus you are the most bad ass climber out there!!!!
It's got lil boots too. Fucking chad
I was struck by that too. Were those blinders (as well perhaps as protection)? Seems it might be easier on the dog if it just couldn't see the crazy position it was in until it was over the rail on deck...
@@peteranelson seems like its for protection and to prevent hearing damage from gunshots
The gimp mask 😂
@@peteranelson The helmet has earpro, eyepro, a rail for a tactical light or IR-light, also you can attach a dog muzzle.
Quite ''must have'' on any type of CQB, VBSS etc.
so cool to see the dog being lifted and he was pretty aware of whats goin on...these guys are badass!!
He has a little helmet too
@@matthewhedrick5536 And ear mufflers :)
Also noticed one of the guys carrying a small oxygen tank bundle of sorts (or other gas)
it's amazing, this dude could've been an amazing special ops solider or full climber, he choose the latter but had full potential to do either. This man is a legend, Magus, you're the shit.
Love the inclusion of the malinois, Military working dogs are an amazing asset that don’t often get recognition especially for where there able to go and what there able to take it’s also funny work is just like one big game to them. PS between climbing and trying stuff like this your probably one of the most well rounded and most badass UA-camrs I can think of keep up the great work
I'm absolutely fascinated by this comment, well done sir.
From climbing to real mission in special forces! It's great to see this channel grow!
Yeah it is crazy what he get to do!! KJK is btw not special forces :)
@@Endumattis I see, my bad. It's still impressive nonetheless.
its training not a real mission
@@dawidpelc4775training counts as real missions. Literally called training missions lol. The US military does this constantly.
Yeh real mission with fake guns and a cameramanon the boat at the top floor waiting for them very good real mission
"Are we gonna pet the dog?" 😂
The best part of this is how nervous Magnus looks and yet how he keeps pushing forward. There's no courage without fear. We saw the same thing when he free soloed with Alex Honnold.
nervousness ("healthy level") is effective in the process of initiate action. It is a state of mind who psychologically forces your energy and action outwards. Just like fear the secret is being aware and having it under control. As former military with decades on solo missions in the middle east, russia and elsewhere (civilian) I do not put much "emotions" into my Fears. Maybe it sounds counter intuitive, but with experience you learn how to compartmentalize part of your own psyche and emotions. Borderline schizophrenic you might say, but the best way for survival and keeping your head clear. Doing solo stuff in hairy situations you only have yourself to relay on. Even our mighty Lord would agree with me on that :) Cheers and Happy New Year !
With 28 years of jiu jitsu on my back I am honestly amazed how Magnus did in the tactical scenarios! Great Job, Magnus!
I just realized... The production quality and value of this is insane. I was thinking first how you could record that, but you had like 2 camera angles of everything and inside shots before entering rooms. Now I wonder who filmed you and how everything went, like a behind the scenes or introducing the people.
And that looked really badass, ngl. Also the guys from the military all seemed like pretty nice and chill people.
What a fantastic series! Definitely my favorite of the military ones so far. Best part was when the dog takes Magnus down and the scene is all intense, then a second later the dog is sitting there happily smiling and wagging its tail 😂
These service dogs are amazing
J😊
and before that scene magnus asked if he has to pet the dog next scene hes in full gear waiting for the dog😂
Magnus is a lost asset to the spec ops community, but good for the audience he ended up doing what he does. What a talented, focused an able young man. Respect.
I used to be in military (elite unit not special force), now i get in to climbing for 3 month now and still stuck on 6B. you inspiring me to do climbing, thank you!!!
I served 12 years on a SWAT team and you have a natural instinct. The one corner you realized that your barrel was protruding and pulled back thus exposing your position. That is marvelous from a non operator. I will go into battle with you anywhere! I also offer my respect to the Norwegian military, they are squared away! Great video!
That dog moment at 19:50 when you see his tail wagging and looking up at the handler like "Am I doing good? :D". Too wholesome.
One thing I appreciate about Magnus is how his channel has changed. Many artists - especially UA-cam creators - get trapped by an identity they developed early on in their work. A lot of them burn out. Magnus, I respect that you’re not letting that early identity hold you back from who you want to become. Full support bro.
I just love how well Norwegians speak English, I have been there many times for vacation and everyone speaks English almost like a native speaker.
There's a reason why the UK Royal Marines and Special Forces are trained in Norway with/by the Norwegian Forces: they're some of the best in the world, and the environment is one of the harshest and toughest! It was great to see that they seem to employ Mixed Martial Arts (boxing, jiu jitsu, etc) in their hand-to-hand combat training, and I feel this is absolutely necessary.
I loved that the dog had little "socks" or "boots" on his feet lol, though I imagine this is a safety precaution. Dogs are certainly a man's best friend, but I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of their duty! lol
Thank you Magnus for giving us an insight into the Norwegian Coastal Ranger Commandos, and thank you to them for allowing this to happen! These dudes are amazing, and I'd love to see more!
Love and respect from the UK, and here's to a long continued friendship between UK and Norway! 🤘
Flip, Magnus, you are just a natural, those movements, I imagine your stamina also shocked your trainers, as you are just another level compared to a normal civilian.
Fantastic video.
You've inspired me to join a local Thai boxing place to learn some self defense as well ❤
This could be on TV, great camera work and Magnus smashed it as always. Nice work guys!
Dude the insane story arc of "just" being an amazing climber, then to doing huge collab videos to now this? What the fuck man. Awesome job Magnus. For real man, incredible.
honestly this is the type of promotion/showcase video the army needs. showcasing the hard work and mentality needed to join. big props to everyone!
Im impressed how people in Norway speak fluent English language! Nice video
I agree, and my friend from Finnland told me once that all the tv shows are in eng with subtitles and that's why basically everyone learns English from watching tv. ^^
Oh, and we here in Switzerland have four national languages and speak English on top of that, but most of the time I use English and French and Swiss German ofc :D
Cheers
While the Scandinavian education system is really good and progressive, this probably has a lot to do with Norway being part of NATO as well. Especially as specialized forces, you do need to be fit in English. English is used for all international communication, on exercises and maneuvers. And on real missions as well, obviously.
@@Nitidus not really. Non-military speak about the same level as seen in this video here. Might be different with some older people, though. The amount of nato exercises the average soldiers experience wouldn't be enough to make a huge difference. Germans and French are nato also, and the population there is far worse at speaking English. Has a lot to do with how few people speak norwegian, same with Danish and Dutch et.
Besides primary school we learn english through movies, tv shows and computer games pretty early. We dont do voice over on our movies (thank Odin) but subtitles.
Perhaps the most epic video series of 2023. Well done, Magnus and team.
Omg the dog going up the ladder at 17:10 with his little outfit on was the cutest thing ever.
Magnus is like a video game protagonist, somehow good at everything
This is insane! Now, that is what I call quality content. Thank you, Magnus, and, of course, thanks to the Coastal Ranger Commando for the very fascinating insight they enabled Magnus to experience, and by extension, us as viewers.
Norwegian military is in my opinion the most badass military in the world, you did incredible Magnus well done and keep up the good work!
Magnus,if you read this great,if not oh well...but as a person who practices or at least studies hand to hand combat every single day and teaches as well I have to say you have got a giant set on you man. The stuff you went through on this and multiple other videos is seriously difficult and dangerous and although I'm sure you were frightened (if not you are stupid) you gave max effort,like you are known for and it is seriously truly impressive. Thank you for the phenomenal content you continue to provide!!!
Magnus it would be awesome to see english subtitles for the few moments you guys speak norwegian! I'm so proud of you for passing the test to do this mission. You really are an elite athlete with incredible strength and an even better attitude.
20:05 - I love how the dog's trained not to bark when finding the explosives, presumably not to allert potential enemies!
Or maybe I'm just reading into that too much!
That seems right!
Kudos to Norwegian Coastal Ranger Command for allowing Magnus to become part of their team, provide great training especially the cover the head test. Magnus responded well for a civilian with minimal training. If Magnus ever gets tired of his UA-cam channel he would make a great Coastal Ranger.
I am so happy for Magnus that he gets to do these things and share them with his almost 2 million subscribers. I can still remember the first vlogs in their house which they were renovating. Amazing how far he's come!
That last scene is absolute fire. Your grin says it all! Well done, M. Super proud of you and your hard work (and bravery).
I'm not a climber, but I was in the military so I guess that's why UA-cam suggested the channel, loved all of them. Magnus does a great job of getting stuck in and being really professional too, great content.
The dog was badass too.
This is truly the best channel on UA-cam. The filming, the editing, the actual video content, and then of course Magnus' personality are all perfect for good videos.
Everything is prefect but the music 😂
These 2 videos were some of your best to date. Really loved them. Looking forward to whats next
I like how they didn't give you the expensive NVG set. Both a cost saving measure (you are more likely to bump into something with them) as to make it easier to identify you.
That said. Completely badass that you did it. Respect.
This was incredible to watch, huge props to the soldiers who helped and trained you, but also props to you for enduring the training like a boss
As a Finnish coastal ranger, this warms my heart. Good to have great neighbours as Swedes and Norwegians.
Happy you guys are finally with us in NATO ❤
Magnus, som en medbergenser kan jeg trygt si at du er en stolthet for byen og blant de beste underholdningsskaperne jeg har vært vitne til. Stå på med det fantastiske arbeidet ditt💪🏽
Som en sønn av en medbergenser kan jeg være enig
Å nei, ikke flere stolte Bergensere!
Hahaha nei bare kødder
Bergen ut av Norge
Ni norrmän har fått äran att ha två av de coolaste magnusarna man kan hitta. Den andre är född i tönsberg.
Fulgt deg nesten helt fra starten, utrolig kul utvikling og reise du har hatt igjennom videone dine :) alltid gøy når ny video kommer ut :)
Its funny as a Dutch person to read what I presume is Norwegian. Kinda like watching something in the distance which you can't place exactly.
@@turtle8581 Tja så kan du jo prøve at læse noget Dansk her det er sgu ligeså forvirrende eh? (yeah he wrote it in Norwegian and this is danish)

@@DetBlaaLyn Det eneste her som virker avvikende, er "sgu" :) Jeg vet betydningen, men det er nesten som å lese norsk uansett. For meg har snakkende dansk alltid vært vanskeligere enn skriftlig dansk :P
@@OnlyKickNuts88 ja mit sprog er ikke særlig elegant eller nemt
Magnus, your ability to access and provide us glimpses of exclusive and highly restricted corners of the world is unrivaled. It's uncanny how seamlessly you fit into any environment -- this resembles more of a 'day in the life' rather than 'guest trainee' video (that slight jump at 17:50 was the most obvious sign that you may not be a combat-tested Spec Ops soldier, and it wasn't that obvious). The production value is top-notch as always. Astounding.
Also,
10:04 that CS:GO clip looks so realistic (haha)
i love how magnus adapts to the cqb. by the end of the video he has a nice c clamp grip on his rifle and he’s moving tactically it’s awesome to watch the progression
Hey Magnus, I just recently found your videos and I'm absolutely loving it all, can't get enough, you are inspiring. Im not a climber other than what I've done while on random adventures in the mountains and climbing alot of trees as a kid but now I want to get in to it more, just looks like so much fun! I can tell you are kinda an introvert but you really seem like a genuinely fun and kind person so thank you for sharing your life with the world. Keep up the good work!
I think this is the coolest series you've done yet and that is saying something. Not only is the content awesome, but the camera angles, editing, and music are so immersive. Plus the gorgeous location. AND a good puppy to top it all off. Perfect
There were so many times where I thought, "The Sergent is going to yell at him for clearing corners incorrectly.", but I'm glad they just let him enjoy the experience. This was a great video.
Im not sure yelling makes a better team.
Yelling is not really a normal part of learning in Norway.
Agreed.
I had some ptsd about those corners
Yelling is definitely not part of the curriculum on these levels. It's like the SAS and SBS. They explain what to do and allows you to execute to the best of your ability, and take notes accordingly. That's all it takes.
@@henforli Not generally, but in the army it sadly is. Ive been in the norwegian army, and can confirm
Love this Magnus. You should come hang out with the U.S. Coast Guard sometime
This has to be the best ad for the Norweigan armed forces ever. I think the large majority of UA-camrs (even athletes) are far too silly to do something like this. Seriously good quality content, Magnus.
Yeah, I think part of the reason why the production quality is so high on these videos, apart from magnus just being very good at this, is this is definitely being helped by the military themselves as a publicity campaign probably. Win win, magnus gets to make a cool video, the military gets a good ad
Much respect. And I am pretty sure no one wants to fight against a well trained crew like this.
Great video, I like how you don't ruin the vibe and the moment with too much talking, you keep it for the pauses and breaks, great stuff, it felt better than watching a documentary for me. Hope this grows more.
Thank you Magnus for the great content, I have not missed a video all year!!
one of the coolest videos ever man, this series has been illuminating. what an awesome opp and challenge for you magnus, congrats
It was a "real mission", and they sent the cameraman first up the ladder? This thing with "the cameraman never dies" is getting absolutely ridiculous!🤣
Yeah 😅😅😅
When you compare how magnus and the operators do their stuff, you can really see the difference and the skills the operators have, its truly amazing to see
Production and story telling was fantastic these videos, especially when you're actually in the middle of physical challenges, tests, training and all the action.
This episode did not disappoint, Magnus! Excellent videography, editing, content - and of course the star of the video - the DOG! They brought the dog on the mission with his own military-issue booties and mask! Insane entertainment! 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
This is probably the most unique content I have ever seen, you show us parts of the world most don't even know about. Keep it up!
I have been to Norway several times. In my opinion it has some of the most beautiful landscapes anywhere.
The backdrop in this video was amazing, working there must have been really awesome.
Yeah well it's cold as fuck too :P And where I live it hardly ever stops raining 😅
That is one badass dog! Seriously impressive you were able to keep up with so little training.
Utrolig gøy å se hvor stor kanalen din har blitt Magnus! Og for en innsats du gjør med videoene! Fulgt deg siden starten 🙂
I never knew that they boarded dogs onto ships like that. Amazing!
Been watching since the early days before you did you first collab with Juju, and been keeping up ever since. I have to say, the quality on the videos the last year especially has been nothing but amazing. The amount of work that goes into these videos where you do stuff with the military especially, both in Norway and elsewhere. Amazing job Magnus, from a fellow Norwegian sharing your name.
I'd call this 2 part series your best videos yet, this was amazing
Beautiful video and props to the Norwegian Military, Magnus, and everyone involved! More like this, please.
It’s crazy to think of how well trained you are when I remember you were only a climber in the past. You learned well and carried yourself as well as anyone trained in milsim/military-esque situations.
Magnus is never afraid of a challenge. His great attitude inspires me. Thanks for all your hard work.
It's nice to see our Norwegian brothers using the Swedish Combat Boat 90 (or SB90N as it is designated there). Fingers crossed for NATO acceptance soon!
bok nato ya girersiniz
Don’t see why not, got to be on one whilst training with the Norwegians 2 years back, sturdier and faster than anything we had haha
@@connorkitchen7156The only one fucking with Sweden's NATO membership is ofc our own little favourite dictator Erdogan of Turkey. He's blackmailing Sweden trying to make them give up the Kurds which he likes to bomb the shit out of time to time.
Nato loves it :-)
This is hands down one of the best videos I've ever seen on UA-cam.
I like how the title of this more documentary like video is focused on the unit instead of "I" tried, competed, etc... It shows respect for the opportunity and their dangerous work. Big props and thanks to everyone involved putting this together and of course Magnus for taking the training/tests seriously to ensure we get to see this.
Really enjoyed this short series, it actually showed how intense this type of training is. Even on a really physically strong person this training can be really exhausting. Thank you for sharing!
what a video!! great job editing as well, the content you bring us is unreal keep it up!
Started watching your channel before I even climbed, amazing how far your channel has come! Been climbing for about a year now and love it 🙂
so well edited, masterful use of music.. respect keeps going up for you!
I loved this two parter… It was such a great opportunity for you to show us their work, and look badass at the same time.
This was probably one of the coolest series of videos I've seen on youtube. Amazing quality content and editing thank you Magnus!
I came for the climbing and stayed for the amazing creator you are. The amount of dedication you put in your videos is incredible.
Magnus gradually changing from a climber into an action hero.
This is insane level of content. Well done Magnus
Definitely the fanciest, most upscale, and high effort video I have seen on UA-cam. Congratulations to Magnus.
And extraction, by rappelling into the boat, but stopping to sign off, was THE BEAST! Maximum SMOOTH!
