Vietnam's Amputee Tribe: Smoking Human Limbs, Eating Cow Dung, and Marrying Multiple Wives
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- In this series, we journey deep into Vietnam's wild and steep mountains, uncovering traditions that defy belief.
Hoang Su Phi: We start among the Nung people, where the eerie tradition of preserving amputated limbs above the household kitchen continues to shock. What drives this practice?
Cow Dung Soup: Our quest leads us to taste the Nhum delicacy made from cow dung. I've faced many exotic foods, but this one might push me to my limits.
Dong Van: In the heart of Dong Van, we live with polygamous families, integrating into their daily lives to understand the roots and reasons behind this practice.
Mr. Ngoc: Finally, we meet Mr. Ngoc, who hasn't experienced sleep for 65 years. While the world record for sleeplessness is just 13 days, Mr. Ngoc lives vibrantly, defying scientific understanding.

Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful experiences. Myself, I'm Vietnamese. I was born in the Hà Nội and migrated to Sài Gòn with my parents in 1954. I'm 72 now and haven't seen or heard of anything like this before. What an experience. Human beings try to live and survive in all situations and scenarios.
Before critically scrutinizing the ways people live, wait until you ARE starving, then, only then, y'all understand.
Being poor is the deepest sin and the worst crime of all.
@trungnguyen-hv4ji thanks for sharing your story. I was born in Bangladesh, & my paternal grandfather married his second wife because my grandmother suddenly became sick. Unfortunately, I was born after all 3 of them passed, so I never got to meet them. However, I had very loving grandparents who passed away in the last few years. I miss them all dearly. My grandfather was my hero. He was a freedom fighter during the war for independence against Pakistan. I try to appreciate all cultures around the world & their customs. We are all more alike than we are different. We should all try to get along so our future generations can live happily, & maybe then, we can heal the earth.
As a Vietnamese person, I can say claim that these traditional customs just exist in remote tribes in Vietnam. But even most Vietnamese citizens are not familiar to these customs ._.
Lies!!!! I know you keep amputated limbs in the back of your closet as well!!! Not like in the west where the doctors stole MY appendix after my surgery. Thieves.
Everyone got their local flavour of hillbillies doing weird shit out there.
@@JeffBilkinslolololol so true
People don't realize these are Indian villages and not Viet Kinh.
21:09 is hilarious. man is straight up staring and it’s never even brought up
🤣🤣
Seems like a PNG
Looking like the meanest grandad in the world 😂😂😂😂
Bet that's how he looks when he's having a good day.
BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAH!!!
1 hour 20 minutes 49 seconds of pure gold. My evening viewing is sorted! Thank you
So the last second you disliked. Im so sorry about that
@@wallacedavis3110 Always space for improvement
@@wallacedavis3110lmao
I actually thought the title meant they were actually physically smoking 🚬 their cut off limbs 🤦🏼♀️😂😂😂
same lol
that’s exactly what he wanted us to think. it’s called clickbait
@@xenonmobHow should they have put it while at the same time keeping the title short and informative? I can’t think of a better way. English has several meanings for certain words and it’s practically impossible to avoid double meaning sometimes,
Haha me too!!!!
I thought they turned the limb into a bong or something
You are amazing Andrew. You have taken us on your amazing journey, introducing us to the amazing different tribes of the world. The Nung and the Hmong.
It’s not actually poop. It’s the digestible grass extract that’s about to be absorbed in the small intestine. The actual poop will be in the large intestine
Somehow the difference eludes me 🤮
It is also in Filipino cooking
@@alfredbalauro3215 it’s ancient Austro Tai food my Pare.. look up Austro-Tai language
Stinks the same 😂😂😂
@@andreeaboloca4440 no methane in edible stuff actually lol 😂
Not sleeping past 60-72 hours becomes INCREDIBLY dangerous for your mental health. I've had experienced severe insomnia and didn't sleep a wink for 76 hours once and it was TORTURE ! It makes me cringe just remembering it. Sleep deprivation is actually a method of torture and is prohibited as per the Geneva convention. It's actually worse than any physical pain I've ever experienced.
this guy deserves more subs hes going through soo much for us.
Is it for a TV show or he just produces this quality for UA-cam
Một video có nội dung vô cùng chất lượng!
Là người Việt Nam, tôi ủng hộ mọi người giữ gìn nền văn hóa của dân tộc mình. Chỉ là cần giữ vệ sinh cho ngôi nhà sạch sẽ hơn! 😊
Between landmines and venomous snakes, I noticed a lot of amputees in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia
Scattered indeed. Dated a Hmong girl back in high school….in Michigan. They used to have a Hmong festival in detriot. Don’t know if they still have it though, was almost 20 years ago
I think they still do it
It must make some people happy and sad or home sick watching some of these videos. This video is really good. I truly enjoyed it.
Your cultural experience is unsurpassed. Next level.
These people’s traditions, food, etc are exactly the same as Southwestern Chinese people. They are in fact ancient Chinese people who are living in modern Vietnamese territory.
Their lives reminded me ancient China.
you chinese get on my nerves man. leave your brethren alone and stop trying to spread communism
As a Vietnamese person, I can say claim that these traditional customs just exist in remote tribes in Vietnam. Even most Vietnamese citizens are not familiar to these customs. And even in China or any country else in the world, I believe there are still strange and weird traditions like those in my country.
@@duongquynh8129 They are not strange and weird at all. We knew those traditions well through articles, documentaries, tiktok videos, etc. These traditions are still existent in Southern China.
@@julioduan7130 so you're telling me intentionally amputating limbs and drying them so you can smoke out of them is not a strange or weird tradition? How many cultures are you aware of that do that?
This whole video should be in a cinema! Its a masterpiece!
Seeing this stuff makes me wonder what type of crazy stuff the US soldiers experienced and seen during the Vietnam war...
Sooo I saw a different video recently about a Vietnam veteran telling his dad, who fought in WWII, about how the Vientcongs fought. His dad said that he couldn't believe what his son went through.
So that was about the fighting but I can imagine the food the Vientnam veterans ate had to be interesting yet unpleasant. Unpleasant during war or never ever being accustomed to it.
hmong american from the midwest here,was a joy to see you cover the hmong family that was polygamist. (the last words he gave you at the end directly translates "long heart" meaning be patient)
Im an American amputee, i asked to keep parts of my leg but i was not allowed, they said it had to be incinerated as medical waste which annoyed me, i just wanted my toe bones but then some poor soul would have had to prepare that for me, and i wouldn't wish that on anyone.
At their discharge they were handed the entire limb , no questions asked, I mean it's yours, so...
There is a girl on tiktok who keeps her amputated leg in the bottom drawer of her freezer. Pretty cool. But she did have to fight to get it which is silly. Like it was part of her. Yours was part of you, your body still.
@@TheLittleSukie yeah but you got to look at it from a medical stand point. Amputated limbs count as biohazard, if not preserved correctly. Im sure not alot of people know how to mummify limbs here in the states. 😅
I told my OB ahead of time that I absolutely wanted my placenta. When I delivered it and reminded her that I wanted it, she refused.
I swear that cant be legal. I want my goddamn foot! Religion ya know? Thats all u say
Top notch travel video! Best hour and a half I have had in a long time. Thank you!!
Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words. Really glad you like the content-good to have you on board!
Man you are the best. You almost meet my hero Anthony Bourdain. But you keep up the tradition and I love you for it
It's crazy that I'm Vietnamese. I visited Hoang Su Phi. And I know nothing about these traditions. Thanks for making the video!
Without sleep we lose the ability to form memories. Thats why long term amphetamine drug users almost always go crazy
That's not the reason, at all, no.
@@skatterpro No, that's actually accurate. There are other factors. But one sideaffect of amphetamine abuse is loss of sleep. Sometimes for days and days. It's proven fact that getting sleep and good sleep at that is a huge factor in the health of our brains. When you don't sleep a lot of weird things start to happen. Even without drugs, lack of sleep can drive you insane. Mix that up with Amphetamine psychosis and you're in a for a bad time.
Here in the USA most specifically the southern region it is called chitterlings i.e. pig intestines. If they are cooked properly they are very safe and actually very tasty.
Chitlins, baby!
Really enjoying your channel, it's very eye opening! (The soundtrack in this episode is awesome!)
I am from Hoang Su Phi, hello everyone
❤
Hello from USA
Hello Lyvansung
Hello from Germany!👍🏼
Now THIS is good UA-cam content.
Andrew's comparison to biltong ❤🇿🇦 Cultured AF.
The amount of education in this Video is insane! Very high quality!! thank you so much I learned a lot!
I can understand wanting to keep the body part you lost, after all it was a part of you. I’m surprised more people and cultures do not do it to be honest.
your channel is so underrated wth
Andrew Fraser, you make some of the best content on youtube. Amazing care you took to be respectful & still curious. love it all!
What an excellent look into the life in this part of Vietnam great work Andrew
Andrew: your videos are fascinating. Thanks very much.
Bravo! you are one arm or one leg ahead of sonny in this place!
What if the dog eat the leg or the hand
Hey Andrew, those are HMONG people that live in Veitnam that you visited... Another great video, I enjoyed this one very much.
As an Asian growing up, eating that soup and seeing you trying it makes me proud.
just discovered your amazing channel! Thank you for the top-notch and informative documentaries! Keep up the amazing job mate! :)
I have this love and Compassion for Vietnamese people, I can’t explain it. I don’t mean to stereotype, however, I see how very hard they work to survive. They have very little material goods. I know my view is narrow based only on videos. They often smile and accept what life gives them. I pray God blesses them and gives them hope and they find their purpose.❤
Hey Andy, I really enjoyed this series but I must confess that I have not had any dried or cured meats 🍖 since seeing a certain episode. Hope you are enjoying your vacation. Seeya Next Time ✝️🙏🐢
This is really, really next level content Andrew wow. It's crazy but tbh a beautiful tradition, however I would never hang my own leg over the same place where I cooked though, crazy! However you can't let your arm go if you always keep it close to you
Correct, they are not Nung people but Hmong people. Orginated China dynasty (sub-group Miao), then migrate to Southeast asia. Scatter after Vietnam war, known as "vietnam secret war" recruited by the USA CIA.
100% understand what they are saying in Hmong.
Are you talking about the amputees? Because the first guy is definitely Nung. Hoang Su Phi is home to many minoruty ethnic groups :).
@@koalaminh1 hour in
Pasco County, Florida, I know some people that would call 11 days amateurish!!! 😂😂😂

The video production is pure gold.
These kinds of videos are rare this days on UA-cam.
So glad i stumbled on the channel
Thanks, appreciate it. We definitely try to go above and beyond the standard vlogger routine.
@@Andrew_Fraser Andy, frankly I think your production is too good and need to be seen by millions of people around the world as you share the cultural experiences of minorities. This is almost similar to early days of Johnny Harris after he left Vox. Informative, expository, crossing boundaries and unique topics.
I might be wrong here but I believe you might not have a strong social media campaign unit.
Though your channel has been up for more than a year dedicated viewers (like myself) have never heard or seen your channel.
Case in point; I noticed you have only uploaded very small number of YT Shorts, without Shorts the potential viewers engagement is going to be low compared to other channels. I mean, imagine putting a catchy title on a Shorts videos about a bizzare custom in one remote village, people will be curious to see more.
Shorts draw in millions of views and subscribers through conversion so you might want to look into that.
No sponsors? I mean for the quality of effort you and your team must have put in to produce these videos you need to recoup the cost quickly to enable you continue giving us these beautiful documentaries.
I love that you interact with your viewers, shows humility and connection. But you might want to throw in some Merchs and affiliates for loyal subscribers to buy in order to support the channel.
How are you doing on Patreon and Channel membership.
I see lots of ways your team could explore to increase viewership and subscription.
I wish you the best on your journey🙂
Amazing documentary! And love the music choices. What are they?
Love it! Thanks Andrew, for posting and sharing. The videos are awesome, well-paced, informative, and thoughtfully narrated.
I will never complain about the ques in Asdas and Tesco ever again!!
Call me a racist or a classist of some sort, I love Asia to the core but I would never eat what those people would serve me. It makes me sick to stomach to even think that I would eat with a leg pending above my head. Absolutely a cultural shock. I'm sorry for being closed minded but I'd pass on this one... It's gore stuff.
Don’t worry. I’m hmong and we don’t do that. Some of the traditions this family is doing other people don’t do it. Fact is the traditions are given or taken from other tribes or just someone started it. It doesn’t mean others will follow. Hmong in Vietnam do things differently than in Laos and Thailand and in China. I wouldn’t eat most of what they eat unless it’s well cooked. Most stuffs you see on the video the regular people don’t even eat. Some things that you see mostly men eating is just to show off. These men’s lives are short. They just want to show off who has a bigger D. Their daily lives are just comprise of rice and greens 🥬 and those who can’t afford or are much poorer eat corn and greens 🥬. Meat might be 1x a week or two weeks only. And 1x a year they just have a big feast to celebrate harvest season (called Hmong New Year).
Xin chao Andrew! Yet another sensational video to your channel my friend. I really made it through 1hr 20mins plus the closing with you not wearing your glasses which is quite surreal.. lol! A huge prop to your production team behind the scene... they ARE the reason as well for your channel success no doubt. Hope to bump into you in Hoi An when I visit again. Cheers!
Bro in the helmet at 21:10 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Their practices are just extreme to us because we don’t do it. It’s their culture but not ours so it’s just different but not extreme to them. Understand them without judgement is the best way to learn about someone else. Their norm isn’t ours but nothings wrong wit that. They may find people in America praising a false god or idolizing people may be extreme to us. Just saying
He literally hanged his amputated leg over the stove that he cooks food you noob
People can still have an opinion.
I rather not understand people that literaly smoke human remains
These are ape hybrids not humans. Stop your nonsense please as if this is normal.
Dude they smoke their limbs, that is just pure an utter disgusting insanity, no matter the "culture" argument.
Not gonna lie, I read the title and straight up thought it was smoking human limbs in a Thuốc lào or Rizla....
I love Northern Vietnam...it's like travelling back in time.
I feel like I won every lottery not to be born and raised in this northern Vietnamese community.
It sounds simple, so I apologise for that, but I'd love if you could show on a map where you are. New subscriber x
Easily my new favorite channel 🤙🏼
Great story telling
In italy, in Naples, exists a similar food to this one made with cow dung, it's called 'O pere e 'o musso, it's delicious
10:13 Andrew, you let your intrusive thoughts take over.
at 23:00 That guy who sold him that bowl of question marks is watching him.. LMAO you can tell he is thinking.. Is the fool actually going to eat the dog food? .. OMG He is actually eating it !
We also had "Cow Dung Soup" in my place but we cleaned it thoroughly with salt and lemon and we called it "Sachek".
Is it good,?
The most fascinating part of the world, in my opinion! Thank you for sharing.
I think it would have been kind that if you were filming them when the women go to get water or wood that you would take a container as well to draw water to take back to the village with her that would be 2 less containers that she would have to go back to fill up. You must give back in whatever way you can, simple thoughtfulness is very much appreciated❤
If your god wants you to harm your body then you have been deceived by a powerful demon. That goes for the Christian god as well he is called jabaldaoth and he is the demiurge.
These people lost their limbs due to a medical emergency and a farm machinery accident. Where did you get the idea that their god wanted them to injure themselves?
Dung soup may be a survival food. Tough times and you no choice kind of thing. Maybe .....that just ket going
There has been a large Vietnamese community in my area of Orange County CA, for many decades, and although I have learned a few things about their customs and cuisine, this video makes it apparent there are still many things I do not know about their country.
This is south vietnam....
Can I suggest you review the audio mixer of the finished videos, the background music often overpowers the monologue and unless listening on a high volume it's hard to hear you sometimes
A good deal is actually having a vacation style job. You’re essentially a tourist wandering around with a translator.
my hmong from Vietnam. thank you. your videos are great
2:10
The only reason Gardner has that record for longest time awake is because the Guinness commission stipped accepting entries due to the danger. And it's strange because I have personally beaten Gardner's record with the help of a LOT of stimulants. I got to 15 days, and it was genuinely one of the worst, most terrifying, and most depressing times of my life. It took me months to fully recover. That's not a record you want to attempt, trust me.
I would love to visit Vietnam someday
Love your video! Find your Chanel today :) greeting from Berlin
Those puppies at 19:57 are not being sold as pets. I think this video i about as close as I need to get to this part of Vietnam. Not enough UA-cam clicks in the world that I'd eat shit soup for.
The puppies 😢😭😢
Ofc its the Asians..
What‘s the difference between eating dogs and eating cows or pigs?
Sir I salute you as there is no way I could eat any of the dishes I would rather eat grass 😂❤❤❤
Vietnam is the 2nd largest grower of Coffee in the world, the hell with rice!!
I've stayed awake for 14.5 days in opioid withdrawals, I only know the time because I was in the hospital for that time, the only reason I eventually fell asleep is because I was sedated because I was going insane.
Im an American and I would definitely keep the bones of my amputated limbs. Not the gross fleshy bits, but definitely the bones. That is so bad ass lol 😂
It was hard to hear you sometimes because the background sounds were quite loud. When you talked about how expensive the buffalo are there was a loud screech too. Good content tho
The thumbnail. Dude just looks so disappointed.
The celery is actually called Chinese celery 😀
I'am from Indonesia, i wanna see this tribe. Very rare, never heard before about this
That butterfly hair pin is gorgeous
I love how at 8:23 you think this guy is about to be a translator but he starts speaking the same language as the old dude lol
Also, if the younger dude is only 3 years post his accident... How is the arm already preserved? I thought they kept it in alcohol for like 3 years and then another 5 of smoking it... His arm should still be in the uhm... Curing process, right?
I'm vietnamese. The guy without the leg is speaking another dialect that I don't even understand. It isn't the same vietnamese that the "translator" speak. He is still translating just that he's translating their dialect into vietnamese.
Just found this channel and its absolutely incredible
I lived in Vietnam for 5 years and explored these remote villages and areas pretty extensively. I've heard about the shit soup 🤣Never heard about the keeping limbs though. Really cool, I miss Vietnam but not living in the city, the mountains near the border with China are truly out of this world and I'll be back one day to visit them.
You have great videos bro 🤙🏼
There are so much soup in your plate. At my place we drink the soup in different plate or a cup. Not with the intestine. We ate the intestine in a diffrent plate. Because putting them or eating them together in one plate is so bitter.
For some reasons i thought they was going to put the limbs in a pipe and smoke it lol there way makes more sense lol
25:50 I just recently learned lime cooks raw meat like ground beef hence why some countries use so much of it.
In Europe we always had harsher conditions.
Really?
Great video
Beautiful Vietnam ❤
My Wife's brother in laws mother dries and sells deer jerky in the central highlands of VN.
Call me strange… as most cannibals throw away the hands and feet.. but the smoked leg and prepared hand? Look like some awesome Jerky…
it's not called dung, dung is already on the ground, that's a chyme, chyme soap is not only in vietnam but even in the philippines
