- Magnus continues to prove how fearless he is! I was thinking the test looked pretty doable, until I saw him jump from a moving boat!

You should definitely check out part 2, I'd be fun to see your perspective on the training/mission they do in it
Do it!
Not sure if ppl caught this detail, but these tests are not the tests they do to pass selection into this unit, but tests they are required to pass on a regular basis to be allowed to stay with the unit.
Props to you for not wanting to "steal" content, but I think that if you message Magnus he would probably be ok with you reacting to part 2.
C'mon, do part 2! It's right up your alley! And if you ever come visit us up north I'd be happy to be a guide for a day or two.
Ive seen both episode, but I would love to see ur reaction to it still as I really appreciate ur aspect of it! im here to listen to what you have to say! my dream would be that you some day get invited either with Magnus or without but in any cases doing some excersise with the Norwegian army would be really sick to watch! Im Norwegian and ive been watching every video of yours since u lived in Korea! keep it going bro and thanks for the content!
US admiral Robert Harward praised the Norwegian commandos contributions in the first major ground deployment in the War in Afghanistan; " I can attest to the fact that the Norwegian special operators were absolutely critical to the success of our operations. They came to the fight with specialized skill sets for operating in mountain and arctic climates that enabled the survival and effectiveness of the entire coalition of special operators. Just as important, was the planning and staff experience the Norwegian SOF proved to the operational expertise of the entire Task Force effort. As a direct result of their partnership, our unit was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, the highest honor the United States bestows on a military unit for which President George W. Bush personally delivered the award"
Nice to have some insight on things I missed on the first watch. Second episode reaction would be awesome, but I respect you for not wanting to take away from Magnus. He's an absolute beast of a man for taking this on.
If you are looking to visit Scandinavia I'm inclined to say, as a Swede, do Norway first. The Fjords are unbelievable. Even looking at them on video is dream like, but nothing compared to being there. I go hiking in Norway every year during my vacation.
With that said Sweden has amazing nature too. The deep woods, archipelago, the mountainous regions along our border and of course the river systems up north and inland.
My dream is to visit Norway and Sweden. Love cold weather and thrive in it. However we do not longer have very cold winters in Slovakia, we can hit -30. Scandinavia is just magical ❤
Thanks 'brother'. I love Sweden and Swedes.
As a Norwegian, I can say this to Swedes, and Danes.
Even if we are competing against each other.
As a Norwegian I would say do Sweden first. Get into the Scandinavian nature, the deep woods etc And then do Norway. A lot of Norway looks like Sweden, but once you get into the Northern and Western fjord region, it is "you think you have seen nice nature? Hold by beer" territory. I say this as a Norwegian in Oslo, even I was shocked the first time I visited the best fjord regions, I had seen them on pictures and on tv all my life, I thought I knew what I was about to see. But it is so majestic and insane.
😂 Think I might struggle on the pull ups, dips, run, swim and climb 😂🤦🏻♂️
Basically everything, just like me 🤣
😂😂😂
i really rcomend you react to part 2 there is some training thnere to.
That dry suit is buoyant until you de air it, they are pretty hard to swim in because of the drag but you can still swim for quite a distance but at a slower pace
Same as someone else has commented, I've seen part 2 already but I'd love to see another perspective on it. I get your reasoning if you decide not to though.
Just a small correction. The floor during the sprint exercise is grippy. It is a little elastic to offer more grip for indoor ball sports like unihockey, handball, volleyball, etc. it is also good for avoiding slidmarks when you fall, or break your fall a little should you land on your hip for instance.
bro I really love your reactions. They're insightful and you have substantive things to say due to your own level of expertise and experience. So it's interesting as well as entertaining. Also, the (military) videos by Magnus are great, and I hope you will keep reacting to them! Greetings from the Netherlands :)
So kind of you to not show all his episodes, much respect im sure Magnus appreciate that. Take care /from Sweden
Nice! as a Swede the norwegians are impressive. However, as a human. Magnus is a goddamn beast, I believe he already hit forty and is crushing these tests.
He is 34.... How can you be on the internet and still spout random shit before checking it with a fast normal google search?
@DaOneJoel. I have not finished watching the video yet but I concur with your assessment. At around forty, that's amazing. Very fit.
And as a Canadian, I can tell you that many years ago, the Canadian government started to shame Canadians to get healthier by informing them that the average Swede at sixty was healthier than the average Canadian at thirty. The campaign worked. Here's to the Nordic culture!
He's only 34, though
Skål kompis. Norsk eller Svensk har ikke mye å si. Bare på ski😂
Episode 2 is where the action happens! I understand your reasoning, but you could take this down and upload your reaction to the other one? ;)
second vid is crazy
@@k.rhansen2038 Yep. It's a training mission but still pretty crazy
You, Magnus and Ryan Forrest (aka British Marine) should try and get some collabs together for military stuff like this.
Trying to set up something similar in the US, the UK and Norway. Eksampel: Magnus and Ryan visits you in the US and you try various military fitness challenges, preferably in collaberation with various military units if possible, and vice versa!
Hell, you three could do it all on a kind of global scale. Trying to set up something like this with various military units around the world. Like the Korean Englishman channel posted "British Twins go training with Korean Army Commandos".
That's content I don't think anyone else is doing on that scale, but that's content I'd easily consume!
I know what you mean but ooooh c'mon do the part 2
I want you to react to the next part, that's the good one 😄
That part with the saw kinda triggered me cause boarding a ship on a ladder like this while moving and rocking back and forth creates so much failure points compared to just attaching a line to a nice secure peli case, get on board and then just pull it up. Wont get it wet, wont brake it and probably twice as fast. Ive done quite a few storm ladder boardings, no gear, no safety, off a rib in open sea. Not easy going 30 feet. But good for him, really tough dude.
I'd love to see your reaction to part 2 especially some of the CQC stuff and the pertaining before the mission
No one is commenting on the absolutely killer unmarked Toyota Landcruisers the unit has parked in the background? I want to hear about their modifications!
If they're modded it was most likely done by the company "Arctic Trucks" (originally Icelandic, then expanded to Norway and then to the US and beyond after that) which specializes in that kind of stuff and is probably one of the best in the world, they did the modded Toyota Hilux for Top Gear that went to the North Pole and also a 6-wheel modded Toyota for an expedition to the south pole.
Glad to see you got on this man!
Climbing is such a great way to train your body, and Magnus is a great example of that, he isnt going to the gym lifting weights etc either. just usefull functional training. proof is in the pudding right here.
I served with these guys, the operatives are some cool guys, highly professional but still up for some BS. Stridsbåt 90N is such a good piece of equipment. Good times!
you reacting to part 2?
Yay my suggestion!
hyvä valinta
Fun fact: Norway has a longer coastline than Africa.
Yes, ALL of Africa.
Them being preoccupied with coastal, mountain and arctic warfare should come as no surprise. In most countries those are niche specialties but in Norway that covers pretty much all of their terrain in one way or another.
@@DurpThought yeah, i was thinking the same. The more accurately you measure a coastline, the more your measurement will approach infinity haha.
Thrugh the whole history of scandinavia, naval assolt has been our forté
Oh come on, do part two! 😊
The suit the guys have are probably drysuits as one of the guys who went first down the stairs you could see the zipper high on his back, similar to the drysuit regular divers use but ofcourse these are probably better and move better in, not as stiff as I remember the drysuit to be.
Oh shiiit, a crossover of the year!!!! War videos X climbing videos
oh, it's nt the first time :D
Their rifles are HK 416, yes a variant of M4, but more upgraded.
Btw the short barrel M4 style rifle is a HK416.
please do a part 2 i'd like to see your reaction to their tactics
Norways climate! Such a good video Boss 🎉 Thank you Sir
Sitting, watching this in my London house, feeling a bit fat, so have picked up my heavy twister bar. Time to get jacked before beers later!
Definitely the running. I could do the swimming stuff tho I think but just never been very good at running
pretty sure the rifle is a short barrel hk416 or the HK416C
I also like doing dips, ranch is my favourite.
I hope Magnus Midtbø meets FSK! You must check out FSK!
also seen us navy seals is training with these guys, specially for winther exercises.
they use the Hk-416N carbine variant
From doing decent level sports stuff when I was younger i'd like to think I could've managed several of those tests ok with a bit of prep, but i'd probably fail the weighted chin ups. :)
I'd love to try the boat stuff though. Although I only ever got my rescue diver certification, I have done hundreds of dives, mostly in cold water for scientific survey work, and always in wet suits (which is not fun in winter). I did fieldwork in 6 °C water (approx 43°F) in winter , both in Ireland and in New Zealand and the cold shock on your face is not fun. Which is why I was surprised that his face was totally exposed for the swim. I thought they would've put a mask on (once in the water) both to protect the eyes and keeps the face warmer. They look like they are wearing dry suits though, or some type of survival suit.
Swimming is one thing I wouldn't mess around with though, because if you start to struggle at all in the water, either through panic or bad technique, it just saps all of your energy, and you'd be useless for the next test. It's so important to get people to be comfortable in the water.
Never underestimate water, I've taken so many of my friends with way better endurance than I got swimming, that couldnt even keep up with me for 5 minutes.
And that was in a nicely heated pool in swim wear.
It's crazy for me how much just slightly colder water can decrease my endurance and my entire body telling me fuck you no second longer, I dont wanna imagine having to do work in 6°C water.
dude. i don't know what they're feeding those guys, but Scandinavian countries seem to excel on the physical stuff. It's like they're born fitter than us normies.
Most of us grow up doing a lot of outdoors activities, hiking, skiing, biking, running, and then you have the typical youth hobbies on top of that, like football, handball, swimming, athletics, ice hockey etc.. I honestly just think we have a higher day to day activity level, from a very young age :)
seems legit.@@lisenormann4102
Bring on a Yellow Colour Infantry Update
Wow, you pronounced his name as a Norwegian. The Ø letter is not easy to do.
The first test has 30 kg on the bar and the bar is 15-20kg
Im late, but ive been a lifeguard in Canada for over a decade, i teach courses, train staff ect. IF you ever wanted supervision in water. im the guy
Coach in football would always say that after intensive training or running with legs , that you don't sit down but walk it off
idk if that helps in some way for muscles or tendons , do you know anything about this ?
19:55 becose after Magnus sprinted then he sat down instantly and i was like nope you don't do that :D
Running 💁♂ I'm working to improve it but I'd struggle like a biatch on that test for sure, and possibly the weighted lunges
The Swedish coastal rangers (Kustjägarna) is one of the tuffest rangers in Sweden (not contracted).
Think it's comparable with the Norwegians.
Love the vid!
Some constructive criticism: Try to equalize your volume and that of the source material. The original video was too soft, and your voice was too loud for me.
Sweden actually has the biggest navy in the baltic, on paper at least.
And honestly, paper ships, while cheap, are not that durable.
Well yeah, i said on paper. lol.@@Nygaard2
Creo que le hicieron una broma a Magnus dandole esa máquina
You should, and will enjoy the next one 😃
Rocky Shore Indians is our local nickname for KJK. Svabergindianerne.
the running brings back memories of suicide drills we used to do for basketball. I will say tho, these runs are nothing compared to what we had to do for soccer training. They were called Indian runs at the time. Not sure if the name was canceled or changed at any point but we did it with two lines parallel with one another, run laps at 75% speed. On whistle, furthest back must sprint to the front. You can't imagine how tired you become from doing something like that for over 10mins. Another drill I did for Soccer that completely destroyed me was, coach in middle circle with ball. Rulles are simple, ball can never cross the circle. The catch is, you can't change directions, so if the ball is heading behind you, you gotta sprint your ass off around that circle and reach a few feet before where you originally were to keep the ball in. Then you pass back and run run run run! Best shape i've ever been in my entire life. Should be noted, these drills will cause inexperienced participants to throw up so be ready for that. Even tho i was captain of my soccer team and the one known as the runner or the machine i also got growing up, i had to let it out after doing that circle drill for 2 mins.
Orcas / Spekkhogger NEVER EVER attack humans in the wild. they work together with humans to get fish and sheit lol. they are super smart and got INSANE eye sight. they know whats what and whats up :P
Part 2?????????
Kystjegerkommandoen = Coast Jaeger Commando/ Coastguard Commando
I am surprised that the ladder climb was not on a floating vessel where the movement of a boat would be simulated. By vessel I mean a moored vessel but in "open" water. Perhaps that would make it an easier climb in some ways? If you know how to use the vessel's motion.
He was told when to grab onto the ladder to simulate grabbing on on the top of the wave, but this test was to ensure he wouldn't be squished doing the real thing. If they did their dry runs on an actual boat, there would be injuries and possibly deaths.
@@MrVeps1 Thanks for that information MrVeps. I wouldn't make it past the first hurdle in these tests. But it's a good point. The training can be pretty dangerous, and you do not want to kill or injure these folks. I bet they do get injured though.
Good point, but I would imagine that they just didn't show that part of their training programme. Additionally the Commandos only have a few weeks to give the Ukrainians a condensed training course specifically designed for future raids that are already planned.
where can i get the cap you wear ?
BTW Orcas are really nice towards humans overall they eat sharks not humans.
So a lot like the Royal marines now.
You need big buff males in spec ops
Magnus' deadlift form always makes me cringe, lol. Total beast though.
Nice loved it
hay man hope you see this but there was a guy who was in the SAS if i recall right his name is Mark he broke into Buckingham palace went up a drain pipe through a window scared a maid shitless and made his way to the queen if you do some research you may be able to make a decent vid out of it! it is not well known knowledge over here so i guess not many people know about it. i found out as a girl i dated her mum knew this guy and well when i looked into it it was real i could not believe it hahaha
WP good react.
U have to react to part 2.
Come on bro!
1lb = 0,46something kg, if my memory serves me well. Just half/double the weight for the conversion and you are mostly fine.
bro can you play video games again like before? play call of duty WW2 series please
Watch Afghanistan batttle for Helmand crazy
Use Boots
Your in the best condition of your life
yooo
while I will never say he is unfit, these type of crossovers are entertaining but not real life tests. Its there robustness of fitness isn't there. The fact they do this day after day of lack of sleep, the injuries, etc make is so much harder. Having said that I would have failed at getting up on the morning..
@@boogaloo4640 Yes I am aware of him, and his immense fitness and achievements that I could never dream of doing. However I think you missed my point. The soldiers across the world when they do these assessments, have not had the chance to sleep 8 hours a night for the last few months, they have not had the chance to have eaten a perfect diet, attend massages etc. If you listen to ex or current serving elite personal they will often say, many people who were fitter did not pass, it is the robustness that they lack, the desire to carry on when wet and cold for days or weeks at the time. almost 30 years ago I passed the PRMC but got injured at home a week or so later playing rugby, (almost two years rehab) it put an end to even trying to get any further, truthfully now I don't believe I would have passed, I was very fit at the time, but I understand now I was not as robust as they needed. Fitness and robustness are very different. Im sure you notice the difference in your own daily life when you don't get as much sleep as normal how it affects you. I also understand that this is impossible to recreate. I am not saying Magnus is incapable of achieving the goal, my point was that these are entertaining but can not be true to life, even the chatting about each exercise before and after gives a morale boost that recruits don't get, every little thing helps.
First one.
Quit pausing it so much!!!!
It's a reaction video, bud. If you want to watch the original video without stopping, the link is in the description.
I don’t want to offend you, sir -- but I would like to remind you that Yehoshúa (Jesus) is a real person who listens and hears everything you say. Please have enough courtesy not to mention His name without cause. In addition to respect for one’s country and its warfighters, there are also other kinds of respect.
Why do you believe he is real and hears everything you say?
I do want to offend you, sir.
No.
Jesus fucking christ on a tricycle, god is as real as the tooth fairy.
