Why doesn’t this man have millions of views and subscribers???? I don’t understand??? This guy is legit so amazing. The editing, the ideas... incredibly.
Just makes me think how lucky I am to have the life I got already, these are real men working in harsh conditons just to feed their families without luxuries, pure love for these hard working men.
I don’t know what it’s saying. Is it honey? Or something else? Don’t judge for not making out what it says in the intro song, I haven’t been watching Simon for very long.
I would not want to shake any of the hands there it’s so dirty !!! Even before corona I wouldn’t have shook that many hands, in this country never mind in a rubbish dump
This was really an eye opener. We live in such a privileged world, not a second thought to throwing our electronic shit away and buy a new one. There needs to be a new way to dispose and recycle all this poison. Poor people working there in hazardous conditions.
Reggie Yates did a documentary here showing how people die from burning the cables and getting respiratory disease. Sad to see it displayed as a tourist attraction
I have just come from watching a documentary ,don't know if it is the same one ,anyway here is the link if anybody wants to have a look from the eyes of people working there. ua-cam.com/video/mleQVO1Vd1I/v-deo.html
HELLO SIMON Just wanna say that u are a huge inspiration and one of the few youtubers that rlly appreciates thier viewers and loves them as much as I do you videos They teach me so much as how I can survive if I was ever broke or home alone etc. But honestly keep doing what your doing and be positive through current times
@South Jersey Gambler Well, you have to factor in hotel, flights etc, and ofcourse other videos he has made. Profitable none the less. If somebody came to my private property and wanted to use it to make a video, I'd charge them too.
@@jamief6507 It's not private property. Of course this thing the 'local boss' is jutsa racket nad you'd probabaly kjuts walk aournd there anyway, but if tourist is gullible enough they'll ask him for some money.
Thanks for releasing this within ramadan it just gives me another reason to be grateful for the simple things in life. Just appreciate what we have people because theres others out there that would die to have what we have!
Only just started watching this guy this morning, started about half 9ish and I’m still watching his videos now, it’s now 9.30 pm, think it’s gonna be an all nighter
Do you know what's crazy I've been watching some of your old videos about 50 times (btw I've watched all of your videos) It always happens just started watching the old video's since yesterday and you upload today, Just wanted to say I love your videos
I was watching a few other documentaries here on UA-cam about this economic reality. If the Government funded some organized processing facilities where these people could all work and continue to do thier thing, it could work out. Although they should also have access to personal protective gear. Hard working people that deserve much much more.
Bit random but watching your vidoes has just helped me through withdrawal from opiods. I`ve had a life long battle with addiction which is now won. Your positivity is magnetic and the fact that you`re also an LFC fan makes me wonder if you are a gift from God. Thnx Simon , you`ll never know the light you shone upon my darkest hours.
Mr Wilson I’m such a huge fan I wish u uploaded more pleaseeee consider. What u r doing is so much better the every other UA-camr and what u show us is so important. Just a big fan of everything u do hope all is well please never stop.
Wow.. lived in Ghana for 3 years and never knew about this! Gotta love the water bags they brought to put out the fire. Remember them selling those on the streets along with the frozen Tampico and Fan Ice ice cream bags.
An episode with your compatriot Bald and Radiation ahm... sorry... wanted to say Bald and Bankrupt would be great! Best greetings from Italy 🇮🇹 to all of you
I went to a similar area of the world. This was last year with African Adventures. I went with a group of people who were similar age and we went to a school where the children lived in a scrap yard and they went to a walk in centre and we went to the houses and the parents were doing similar jobs to these people. And it was a great experience we had no body guard just our guide and leaders of our group. It was mad because we went and saw the houses which was 5m x 5m for there kitchen and there beds for 16 people and it is amazing what charities are doing. It is amazing to see you going to these countries and seeing this stuff. Love the content mate keep it up. Stay safe
Hey Simon Quick Question I’m From Rhos And Have Lived Here All My Life. My friends think you went to a primary school somewhere around Pen Y Cae Or Johnstown I think you went to Hooson like me and my friends can you confirm any of this?
In 2011 I have been there on the scrap yard and nothing changed since then. they don't deal only with e-waste. the deal with everything containing metals. The tires will be stacked up and set on fire so the rubber melts of and thee steel belt is left behind. BTW China has even bigger scrap yards. Oh my gosh I realized that I have a picture of the guy in the green shirt from 2011 as he was burning down some wires using the fridge insulation as a fire accelerator
Simon: travels
Corona: im gonna end this guys whole career
Simon: what a lovely Guy
Beachte NICHT mein Profilbild!! 😂😂😂
Amazing . You should see India slums as well man
Happy Days
Also ends Liverpool’s title winning season,
What a Lovely Guy
😂😂😂
Why doesn’t this man have millions of views and subscribers???? I don’t understand??? This guy is legit so amazing. The editing, the ideas... incredibly.
Definitely, he is so amazing.
Fax
He does now
Just makes me think how lucky I am to have the life I got already, these are real men working in harsh conditons just to feed their families without luxuries, pure love for these hard working men.
one of the scrap yard guys takes Simon's camera and starts smashing it up for the copper
Simon: ive gotta say tho what a lovely guy, top marks
Listening to the intro already brightens up my day
so true mate
Impossible not to smile when you hear that tune.
This guys a legend bro
I don’t know what it’s saying. Is it honey? Or something else? Don’t judge for not making out what it says in the intro song, I haven’t been watching Simon for very long.
S yup it’s honey
World’s largest? Wow. We don’t have any dumps. We’re very clean
I thight you were dead!? Kim??? Explain!
Kim, are you ok mate?
Kim 😂😂😅😅 Are the real Kim? Mate
What a lovely bloke 👍
Kim Jong-un 😂😂😂
Corona must be devastating for Simon, not beeing allowed to shake hands anymore
I would not want to shake any of the hands there it’s so dirty !!! Even before corona I wouldn’t have shook that many hands, in this country never mind in a rubbish dump
This was really an eye opener. We live in such a privileged world, not a second thought to throwing our electronic shit away and buy a new one. There needs to be a new way to dispose and recycle all this poison. Poor people working there in hazardous conditions.
Booo hooo hoooo😭
@@democratpro 10 months later, still a tard?
They definitely saw you coming, paying a "chief" so you could walk round a scrap yard lol
gmd654 sadly way of the world I’ve paid for coffee at international borders let alone this
Imagine if he said no
Simon has a very rich patron.
Welcome to west Africa accept Nigeria we are good people :))
The pollution omg they're gnna go cockeyed from huffing the plastic fumes
Ghana, now people know that country as the home of the coffin dance. Which itself is very interesting. *This time for Africa!*
STOP COMMENTING EVERYWHERE
Reggie Yates did a documentary here showing how people die from burning the cables and getting respiratory disease. Sad to see it displayed as a tourist attraction
Yeh I remember watching it Jonathan and Simon spoke to the guy in the green t-shirt who reggie focused on.
I have just come from watching a documentary ,don't know if it is the same one ,anyway here is the link if anybody wants to have a look from the eyes of people working there. ua-cam.com/video/mleQVO1Vd1I/v-deo.html
Obviously inhaling burning plastic is not good for health.
that smoke going everywhere when they are burning the plastic and material around the copper is so toxic
So I went and watched all of Simons videos from the start. All 219 of them. Don’t know what to do now that I’ve seen em all. Can’t wait for new ones!
HELLO SIMON

They teach me so much as how I can survive if I was ever broke or home alone etc.
But honestly keep doing what your doing and be positive through current times
How can anyone dislike this? Simon your a top bloke and a real credit to the UK a great ambassador
This is a recycling area not a "dump" if you ask me they sell them to manufacturing factories
300 ghana cedis is 50 usd. wtf. That's like 1 month's salary for these guys. To walk around a polluted dumpsite. "That chief sounded cool to be fair"
@South Jersey Gambler Well, you have to factor in hotel, flights etc, and ofcourse other videos he has made. Profitable none the less. If somebody came to my private property and wanted to use it to make a video, I'd charge them too.

Simon: “hi, how are you”
Receptionist: “I a---“
Simon: CHECK OUT FOR ROOM ...
😂

Literally can’t wait to watch this right now
never mess with a man that walks around with a fanny pack.. let alone a man that large!
Andrew C a men whit the fenny pack on his back
In other words, never mess with a gopnik or a chav
In that fanny pack it's always a sandwich, orange juice and a big knife
A lot of people in the USA inner cities that have a fanny pack hanging from.their front side/chest are typically carrying a gun just a heads up
Wulfz lair you’re dumb.
This guy is really good at getting scammed
Calcium Vaughan for what reason?
Nick Dailey because everyone knows Simon is a lovely guy and is always staaaavin
It balances out, he’s getting more than he’s getting.. imagine all those times he sneaked in places and slept in shelters and ate in hotels for free
So glad to see you Simon,we've been waiting for uploads, l'm here with my son Ryan, he's so happy to hear your ok
Do you mind coming back or giving an update. Ive rewatched all your videos 3 times....
He should be posting more soon. He is in Mexico with Harold and Bald.
Khaled a solid guy! Thanks for travelling and continuing to open my eyes to this interesting world!
It isn’t winter Simon quarantine is about exercising more not eating more
If you think have it tough just watch these at work. Great footage
I thought I was having deja vu with him showing us the bathroom door again from the last video.
Simon W: Shakes man hand. Me: freaks out
Crazy. I learned about this in my Bio 1 class a couple months back.
$50 to walk round the world's biggest electronic dump and make a sweet vid with cool people and get nearly 300,000 pops. Good work bro.
finally after ages!!! waited for this one long time now
Only just started watching this guy this morning, started about half 9ish and I’m still watching his videos now, it’s now 9.30 pm, think it’s gonna be an all nighter
Do you know what's crazy I've been watching some of your old videos about 50 times (btw I've watched all of your videos) It always happens just started watching the old video's since yesterday and you upload today, Just wanted to say I love your videos
The thing I love about Africa is that they make do with what they have and they are not materialistic and are sooo compassionate
Bit of a sweeping statement
I was watching a few other documentaries here on UA-cam about this economic reality.
If the Government funded some organized processing facilities where these people could all work and continue to do thier thing, it could work out.
Although they should also have access to personal protective gear.
Hard working people that deserve much much more.
Governments in that area are highly corrupt, conditions are unstable.

Gotta love the water bags they brought to put out the fire. Remember them selling those on the streets along with the frozen Tampico and Fan Ice ice cream bags.
Simon: Nice to meet you
Man: Nice to meet you too
Simon: you too....
You seriously NEED NEED NEED to do another American challenge. I’ve watched that series 3/4 time already. I can’t get enough
Wow, the amount of pollution from burning and their health from all the chemicals and dangerous elements.
Cheers from Germany mate! Thanks for keeping us entertained for years now, you're doing an amazing job with your videos!
Where there is muck there is brass.
Simon is the best youtuber on this planet and he puts so much time into his vids
"Ahh I don't think that's supposed to be on fire is it?" Cracked me up 😂
5:11 so nice to see people happy and laughing... even though it might be just seconds... stil..
Simon I’m soooo happy your healthy and helping charity and I thank you for the new content
Burning plastic fumes … yeah, that’s healthy!
Incredible eye opener!
So glad your back mate. Your no money challenges are helping me get through lockdown. Cheers
Simon you inspire me so much! Thank you man
Wow makes you appreciate England. Reminds me of working in Nigeria in the 80s
Bald wouldn't have paid that 300
So true

An episode with your compatriot Bald and Radiation ahm... sorry... wanted to say Bald and Bankrupt would be great!

I couldn't go to a place like this, I'd get such a mix of emotions. People shouldn't be living like this
They aren’t “living like this” they are working ….
Simon Wilson video was just what we needed, hope your well!
Did they film District 9 here haha so cool
SIMON!!!! We neeeeddddd mooreeeeee vviiidddssss aasssaaaappp
Yes mate, good to see you again. Come to Ibiza when this all blows over I dropped you a mail :)

Great to see you back! What a legend providing content and raising funds for the NHS, What A Genuine Guy.

@ 5:27 that's the greatest laugh ever.
The NHS is not a charity, why does our government and peope act like it is
He returns! We missed you Simon.
