thank you for doing this, as a Filipino American a lot of our generation doesn't know about the Bataan Death March. My grandfather was a WWII vet and served as an officer for the allied forces in the Philippines. I tried to follow in his footsteps back in 2001 by joining the military but I failed the hearing test in Boston. Thanks again for sharing this and I hope more people get to see this.
Nice to finally meet you man! The rest of that hill was something, but mile 21 was for sure the sucking point. I finished like 18 minutes or so after you. Keep up the good work! You inspire thousands everyday.
Thanks for sharing and explaining the history. To this day, it's still very painful to know this is what my Grandpa (Lolo) went through. He was one of the filipino soldiers that lost his life. My grandma had become a widow at the age of 19 raising 2 young kids. I had no idea there was a Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico. I hope to attend in the future.
Awesome, we were there too and traveled from PA. We took the long way and traveled through texas and entered New Mexico rom El Paso. We may have seen each other along the way! I had 6 family members that participated in the 26 mile and the 14 mile from the age of 17 to 65. My Dad is one of the Death March Survivors and we received the Congressional Gold Medal in his honor. So proud of you for doing the march and honoring these brave men!
Thanks for this video, in honor of my Grandfather Captain Jaime Estrada, MD who survived Bataan and for all those who suffered through this I will be doing this March 2019. Great informative video. Cant wait to meet my fellow marchers! See you there.
My wife and I were there as well great job on your part, I was with a team so we ended up with 8 Hrs. 42 mins! It is something I will always remember, and while doing it seeing our wounded warriors with prosthetics attempting it as well was very humbling. Everytime my wife said something about hurting I would point them out and she would instantly shut he mouth LOL. We were in the heavy as well my son wanted me to tell you hi but with so many people didn't get he opportunity, he was in the 4th ID out of Ft. Carson now going to Tx. State. So great job, HI, maybe see you there next year!
Great video. Thanks for posting! Brings back “Great” memories. I did that race in 2009 in 8:55. Purified by pain. Hamburger feet afterwards. Never again but what an experience! Being able that shake the hands of a few of the survivors was humbling and such an honor.
My brother was out there today. He was marching for our Lolo who marched and survived, my cousin's Tatay who marched and was shot in the back and for a fallen comrade who died in the line of duty. It's wonderful to see this in here in America. Wonderful video. Much love to my wonderful countries, USA and Philippines.
Hi Nick, great channel and great video showing this March. Will be there in 3 days March 17, 2019. My grandfather survived the Bataan Death March. He was a Physician and Captain in the USAFFE Medical Corps. Remembering all those who were there. Thank you!
I’m preparing to do the Bataan Death march for my first time. Been a long time goal of mine. Looking forward to paying my respects to the soldiers who lost their lives.
The time that I viewed this video, I remembered my great grandfather who was a WWII vet and he did this march and he survived that march and lived a long life. A long 100 year life
I did this topic for my leaving cert history paper in Ireland. It was a very morbid and unsettling thing to write about but what happened needs regular memorial to remember.
Awesome video man. I didn’t know about this March. A brother from the 82nd just shared it with me. Ever since being injured in 2009 I’ve been in a downward spiral. I’m working in San Antonio every week, flying from Kc. I went to the va today and saw just how bad of shape is in. I came back from the Stan at 255 and looked sickly small.. I’m 396 now.. this is my goal for next year. A few brothers from my deployment are going to come with me.
It was awesome meeting you, Nick! Me and my buddies were the ones who made you drop your GoPro when you went to shake hands with us around mile 13! We finished at 7:30. Great experience, keep inspiring man
Hi Nick, thank you for making this video, it was awesome. My great grandfather was a filipino officer that was captured and part of the Bataan death march during WWII. The men in his unit would not let him die and they helped carry him until it was over. Thankfully he survived and was able to live a long and healthy life. I’m grateful that you helped spread awareness of this historical event. Peace and love❤️
Will be doing the Bataan Death March race next year. In honor of my grandfather and all American and Filipino POW's. Thanks for your great channel, I'm picking up a lot of great tips.
Wish I would’ve seen you out there, was a hell of a time. Great weather though, ‘cept for the blowing sand. Got 7:54:08 myself, 45 pounds, ranked 63’d, sand pit was hell.
You are a major inspiration, SIR (hahaha). Seriously, you are giving an example for so many people on how to be an entrepreneur, a servant to the people, a brother, a friend, and a boyfriend. Kudos.
I believe my grandpa helped get these guys out in the bataan death march. I know he was the staff sergeant at the raid of cabanatuan staff sergeant william ray butler 6th rangers.
Took 56lbs into the Heavy division, and took me 9 hours, and some change to complete. At mile 11 I began getting the doubts, but took a breather (probably for a hour or so), and pushed on. Eventually caught up with hard charging bud around the 21 mile marker, and finished together. Definitely a experience worth living. Met alot of great people along the way, as well as some of the remaining survivors of the Bataan Death March.
My father served as an infantryman in the US army 57th inf PS. He survived the defense, Death March and Camp O'Donnell. Later escaped and joined Augustin Marking's guerillas until the US forces returned in Jan 1945. He saw some rough times.
I don’t know why but you and Stephanie made my day 😂 You guys are so much fun together! Love that you talked about the history, it was great publicity for the event! Great job
Great video! I just did the march yesterday and completely agree, it is brutal and humbling but glad I did it, blisters killed me though....debating about doing it again next year but will have to see about better prevention for blisters.
Ever since you announced that you were going to be participating in this ruck I’ve been looking forward to this video so much, and you definitely didn’t disappoint. Thank you for all your content and your supplements! I’m looking forward to ordering from your clothing line. Someday I will meet you!
Awesome march, and yes a ton of people in the march. I remember this as a Fund Raiser for the local university. There was 1 free beer at the end (Keystone; Ha)
Congrats on all of your accomplishments this year! I've been following you for a while it's been awesome to see you grow. I'm also super excited for your new business. Oh and out of all your girlfriends I've seen you have so far...Stephanie is my favorite, she's super sweet 😊
I just visited Km. 0 in Mariveles, Bataan last April 2018. I saw the American flag along with the Filipino Flag the list list of fallen soldiers on a wall. I was watching people passing by, the town was busy people are busy and I just stood there with a lot of thoughts in my head. It was a dark history of the Philippines specially for those soldiers who were part of the death march. I think the Filipinos were able to move on for a long time and I guess I was probably the only person whos thinking of all the sad things happening back then at that very moment.
Time helps people move on but the pain will always remain with the family members. My Grandpa died during the March so his name should be on the wall. The names are also on the WWII memorial in Washington DC. Very painful to see my Lolo's name.
I finished the Civ. Heavy in 10 hours and 8 minutes, ruck was sitting at 41 pounds not the best but i didnt prep much. We also stayed at the Comfort Inn. Barely missed you man. Maybe next year ill catch you!
I was standing right next to you with the green alice pack in the staging area before stepping off. Small world. Didn’t realize who you were till everyone started asking for pictures
Next you should try the Vierdaagse March (160km in 4 days) in the Netherlands, and the Dodentocht (100km in 24h) in Belgium. Those are some infamous Marches here in Western Europe
Aye I know that Hispanic girl that took a pic with you in the beginning, she was in my unit down here in east Texas but this looks like fun and really considering about doing it next year
I read Ghost Soldiers a couple of years ago, which centers around the Rangers' rescue of the Bataan survivors who were imprisoned in Cabatuan. It bears mentioning that, prior to the Bataan Death March, the American and Filipino soldiers had been starving in the jungle for several weeks. Many of them were injured and stricken with disease before the march began. Along the way they were beaten and tortured. The ones who complained or looked at a Japanese soldier the wrong way were murdered. What a terrible ordeal.
Glad you talked about the history of the Death March. A lot of people don't understand it's not just a race.
BonziGaming Nick is such a good dude. so knowledgeable and a beast. #respect
My whole family does this every year bcuz my cousin was killed in iraq in 2008. He was in the infantry. 28 y/o. Rest in peace christopher
You realize the Bataan death march was in WWII and in the Philippines
@@sharonh3290 have some compassion jesus christ
@@sharonh3290 you’re probably the most low IQ human being on the internet
You have the BEST song choices out of any channel
Agreed! When is the Texas collab?
Good to see the Mrs getting involved in the video 🤙🇬🇧👍🏻 Well done Nick. Here’s to the next challenge!

Glad you were there, Ive been going for 6 years now , my uncle was in the actual death march, thanks for keeping history alive with the young guys
I did this in 2014 in a little over 6 hours...such an awesome experience!

I was out there...military heavy for my 3rd race...finished 16th for my age!!! Congrats on knocking it out!!!

Would love to see you do the real march over in the Philippines next year. That would truly commemorate what those troops did.

The time that I viewed this video, I remembered my great grandfather who was a WWII vet and he did this march and he survived that march and lived a long life. A long 100 year life
Nick you are a humbling civilian and a you were a humbling officer. We need more leaders like you
I did this topic for my leaving cert history paper in Ireland. It was a very morbid and unsettling thing to write about but what happened needs regular memorial to remember.
As a filipino and former soldier just wanna say thanks for giving a background on the march
no your not a soldier..dont act in youtube.. you troll. :)
My grandfather and my father was in the death march,I'm very glad you remember those who.joined ...maingay and thank you..shout out from Philippines

“Everyone is calling me sir and shit” I laughed so hard when he said that.
Will be doing the Bataan Death March race next year. In honor of my grandfather and all American and Filipino POW's. Thanks for your great channel, I'm picking up a lot of great tips.
Dang respect Nick. 6 hours is still impressive.
Wish I would’ve seen you out there, was a hell of a time. Great weather though, ‘cept for the blowing sand. Got 7:54:08 myself, 45 pounds, ranked 63’d, sand pit was hell.

Well done on finishing so strong. I was hoping to see you there and shake your hand. It was a great event.

I was also 5'4", and 150lbs, and was kicking myself for over packing my ruck. The oranges along the route were amazing!
Thank you for remembering the fallen, Nick!

“Embrace the suck” this phrase will help you get through a lot
I love the fact that no one has disliked this video. Respect to the fallen ❤️
Great video! I just did the march yesterday and completely agree, it is brutal and humbling but glad I did it, blisters killed me though....debating about doing it again next year but will have to see about better prevention for blisters.
Huge respects to you man! Wish we had events and challenges like that in the uk! Keep up the good work!
Ever since you announced that you were going to be participating in this ruck I’ve been looking forward to this video so much, and you definitely didn’t disappoint. Thank you for all your content and your supplements! I’m looking forward to ordering from your clothing line. Someday I will meet you!
I had a great great uncle, who was in the march. He was 6'-5" and came back from the war 120lbs.
It was great to meet you during such an awesome event. I was the one that came up to you with my buddy right when you arrived.
My team and I just finished the march with you. Big fans. That’s actually one of my teammates at 7:15
You always motivate me to push myself to do better. Nice video
The Filipino feels
Sir is your title. You earned that.
Six and half is great man, my first one was just a hair under eight. Great job!
You are an inspiration sir!
Awesome march, and yes a ton of people in the march. I remember this as a Fund Raiser for the local university. There was 1 free beer at the end (Keystone; Ha)
I have done that March twice while I was in high school before I enlisted in the Marines.
Congrats on all of your accomplishments this year! I've been following you for a while it's been awesome to see you grow. I'm also super excited for your new business. Oh and out of all your girlfriends I've seen you have so far...Stephanie is my favorite, she's super sweet 😊
Mabuhay ka, Nick! 🇵🇭
Thanks for sharing this. So motivating!
I was there with the okstate team!! Super awesome experience🇺🇸
You bossed it man! Proud of you for embracing the suck. Massive inspiration you are! Keep on doing what you're doing 🤗
Wow! I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for sharing! I learned something new today. 😅
You're the Best ever I have ever seen!! 👍💪🥳
Well done brother! Never as easy as we initially think! Finished strong and represented! RLTW!
Done this twice, finished once, finish time was something like nine hours. Motivating bro.
I'm going back .... Great video man .
Looking buff here
Second time doing the march and still surreal as the first time. Wanted to see ya but I heard you were sprinting it.
My grandfather survived this and 3 years as a POW in Japan. He was a hard man....
dear sir and shit you’re an inspiration keep doing what you’re doing
This rick vid was better then the last!!!!!! Loved it
Great vid! Quality never stops.
Love the videos man! Stef is awesome at vlogging too!
What sunglasses are these?

Time helps people move on but the pain will always remain with the family members. My Grandpa died during the March so his name should be on the wall. The names are also on the WWII memorial in Washington DC. Very painful to see my Lolo's name.
It was such a touching moment when they called out their names. Although the pain sucked it wasn’t nearly as close to what they did.
Way to got Nicks
Never quit no matter what
“Never shall I fail my comrades”
Stay safe bro!
I finished the Civ. Heavy in 10 hours and 8 minutes, ruck was sitting at 41 pounds not the best but i didnt prep much. We also stayed at the Comfort Inn. Barely missed you man. Maybe next year ill catch you!
Good job big guy! That white sands terrain ain’t no joke!
Outstanding, Sir!
Congrats Nick for completing the rucksack!
I was standing right next to you with the green alice pack in the staging area before stepping off. Small world. Didn’t realize who you were till everyone started asking for pictures
Bad ass u were in New Mexico that's where I Live.! Your a BadAss n up most respect for what you..! Keep 👌 kicking 💪 Ass.!
“I’m in your air conditioned truck eating peanut butter pretzels!”
A Filipino here.There was an Ultramarathon here in the Philippines 103 kms Bataan Ultramarathon from Mariveles to Capas. I was a finisher.
This was my first marathon but I did it in 2017 that 5 mile uphill stretch will test you
I wish you would have done a meet and greet at el paso. I know a lot of guys in fort Bliss as well I would have loved to meet you.
Wish I could’ve made it man. I’m stationed here. I was in the field for iron focus(our biggest training event of the year)
awesome job
Great video!
Were those ESS Crossbows at 01:25?
Love the gf takeover
YESSS!!! MORE STEPH!!! we love seeing her!!!
Next you should try the Vierdaagse March (160km in 4 days) in the Netherlands, and the Dodentocht (100km in 24h) in Belgium. Those are some infamous Marches here in Western Europe
This vid makes me want to go to Philippines next year and do it on the actual route...

Let Stephanie take over the vlogs!!!!😂😂🤙🤙cool chick!!!
Hell yeah Nick. Great job.
My mom was here! She only did 24 miles out of the 26 but she still did pretty good I think
Stefany is such a great addition to your vlogs, love her
That was the ship I served on when I was a active duty in the US Navy.
Great job!!
