- Lost in the mountains of Romania, on the cusp of winter, Joe and Cody are looking for a way out and back to civilisation. To increase the chances of them being found, Joe suggests they use their Mylar blanket in order to make a hot air balloon with a note describing their location, but will Cody agree with his reasoning and sacrifice an important survival resource?

one time I saw cody and Joe happy together, that was beautiful
In real life? Or you mean this video
@@fweenoe9501 this vid
Joe is good at what he does but lets all be real, there was no greater duo that Dave & Cody.
Than**
@@duffscobar6572 yea he is good on being a douche bag
Starts raining: I wish we had a water proof mylar blanket
I love when Cody surprises Joe with his knowledge
Shepard to his wife: You won’t believe it Yolanda I saw a golden UFO!
' Thats the sun honey' 😆

What does Yolanda supposed to mean. The only place I’ve ever heard that name from is that super typhoon in the Philippines
@@kinangeagle133 it’s just a name relax he just came up with one, IT DOESN’T MATTER
"Oh look, a balloon."
*Continues to keep walking*
HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD I HAVE HELPED SAVE? I've walked by so many mylar balloons in my life, never thought to check for a rescue note.
I've never seen anything like it before. I'd definitely mention it to someone. I feel this is an example of why everyone should learn about these survival tactics so if we see these mylar balloons we know it should be investigated.
ahhahahahahah
Way to go!
A balloon is a great tactic, IF you are certain someone is already looking for you, otherwise it's pretty unlikely someone will see it and you will have wasted a valuable asset
Conifer resin is no joke man.
For real man, that sh!te is sticky as hell
Well I know not to use it as a lube if I'm I'm stuck in the forest and want to get a load off
@@kamikazehound3243 that's such a dumb comment
@Timmi He was being sarcastic you shmuck
@@red3331 shmuck
Legends has it that they still are waiting for their rescue .
I know its a joke, but incase you don't know it actually worked. I remember this episode and local shepards came with the balloon and note in hand.
@@reddeadtryhardbichfromgtay2048 definitely not staged or anything
@@22jjlopez u know it
@@22jjlopez Why be so pessimistic
@@22jjlopez it’s a show that shows you survival techniques they never actually say they are stranded they have a team around then the whole time, it’s literally just showing you what you can do if you was in this situation
Some of the things they make and pull off on this show are pretty crazy not gonna lie weather the show is fake or not it's still fun to watch and you can learn things that will help you in a survival situation
It really depends on what you mean by fake. Cody and the newer contestant Matt both have real survival courses and actively educated people in the real world. And I have no doubt Joe was in the military. I've known many in the military and he's probably a marine. Is it supervised? Yes. They need crew to achieve certain shots and angles to make good useable footage. And these cameramen employed by discovery are very talented people. Is there medical backup? Yes. But contrary to what some others would say, I highly doubt it's a formal ambulance because of obvious environmental and logistics issues. They probably have air vac or locals on standby. Is what they do itself scripted? Sometimes they probably do retakes to make for more usable footage, but I believe 99% of what is done on the show is genuine. You can guage by the psychology and emotions seen that these two are serious about their circumstances especially when it goes back. Most of the failsafe accommodations for the contestants on the show are probably for legal reasons as obviously Discovery is a business after all. I think it's almost disrespectful and disengenuine to the art of survival tactics and skill to say it's all staged.
Highly doubt theres anyone on the face of the earth that can talk Cody into faking his survival skills. I'd bet the farm on that one.
@noahkinard8569 thx fornyour comment here...as a former Host of Season 9... i can personally and professionally say that your comment here is pretty spot on. Thx u. I for one appreciate all the fans and especially those who "Get It". Regards ~ EJ
@@noahkinard8569also I always addressed how we were "Making the Soup" so to speak... was different from other filming in terms of Adventure amd Survival I have done. Orchestrated is the term I use. We were given a scenario and placed in it. We dealt with what was thrown at us in real time... being pulled to the side for interviews, explanations, and questions as we went called "OTFs" On The Fly as we went along. Yes sometimes we had to stop and redo something or get a different angle to help tell the story or show the skill BUT sometimes like here u only get one shot at it! Sometimes for close up or something they'd have us do it several times as long as it didn't greatly effect the skill we were doing. There was also needed B Roll and Intro stuff. Holding up of items found etc for TV effect. But all in all... I enjoyed every episode challenge I was on and learned a great deal. ~ EJ
Funny thing is people in the area thought they seen a ufo lmao
Really?
8:35 looks like he needed a hand from the cameraman lol
Nah it’s probably super lightweight
@@Victor_Victory uh oh we got a dumby
@@ggarret2119 The ugliest fish you ever caught must’ve been yourself eh?
@@ggarret2119 bro how about you go in the woods and make shit i bet you would need a extra hand too
This was super impressive honestly. Joe is a genius
5 minutes later there was a forest fire....
😂
I was just about to say, did they just not think about that
Youd be surprised. If the balloon caught fire from a gust it would burn and drop and catch a tree or bush on fire. But then again like you said it's very unlikely
I doubt it considering it was just raining. I hate having to get a fire going after rain.
That'll attract attention.
“We’re either gonna do this or we’re not.”
No way?!?
Joe: "Says he's been all over the world never seen the weather change in five minutes" have been to Florida or Texas LMAO
Yes Florida and Texas are the harshest environments for survival
Australia is one of the worst to haha
Michigan too
This doesn't seem like a realistic way to get rescued.
It really isn't. Much too reliant on wind direction and without a method to release it at a higher altitude it is almost guaranteed to crash into the hills surrounding the valley they are in.
Fun tv though, in reality the smoke from their fire or static signals would be much more effective methods if someone would actually be searching for them.
How are the rescuers supposed to ring down this ballon in the first place to see the map that joe drew? How would they know that that's an SOS signal?
@@bl4z3com1ik8 It does stand out, especially thanks to the colour. That said, the chances of somebody coming across it in a timely fashion and being able to do anything worthwhile with it or the message it is carrying are slim at best.
Depends on the situation of course, if you know people are looking for you and there would be helicopters in the region there might be a use for it, though in such a situation you'd normally try and stay near the place where you got stranded (or a nearby location with shelter and access to an open area where you could signal).
In fact I'd be more worried about the potential of starting a forest fire and loosing the insulating material than anything else. Granted the surroundings are cold and wet, but I suspect they'd get much more mileage out of it be using a part of in as a flag signalling post and leaving a message near it.
A golden, reflective piece of cloth blowing around in the wind at a fixed point has a lot more potential to actually have searchers go to a specific area and find a message of where you were forced to move on to. The balloon has limited air time, is solely dependent on wind direction and could destroy the message and even surroundings once it goes down.
only use to that is telling people something's up.
@Josiah Wyatt thankyou I shall definitely use that app now that 2 diffrent week old accounts said it works
what i really wanna know is how do these two men keep getting in survival situations
* Joe Dies *
Cody: * laughs hysterically *
Though that was entertaining it was not practical.
Maybe if they had it tied to a string as a beacon above them. Otherwise unlikely to as a rescue tactic.
not really
One of the dumbest fucking things I have ever witnessed on this show next to the poacher episode.
@@NewOrleansSeptember bro true and they could of make string easily
It would've been much better for the show and the viewers if they had more positive moments like this.. It was nice to watch..
I actually don't think this is as effective as they'd believe, no one would look at a balloon like that and go "I'm going to chase it down", only way that does anything is IF, and that's a big IF, if it lands on someone's yard, a trail where someone walks etc.
If you saw a balloon in the wild like that you would at least know someone is there and seeing as it is a self made balloon you could assume they need help
It's what saved them though
@@jordancarlson7338 I 100% guarantee you where I live people would not care the slightest, because during the winter seasons people often light these balloons for fun. Not uncommon during the summer either.
First time ever that Joe smiles. Good for him. Lol at those eyes 6:11 lol 😀
him : I've never been in a place like this the weather changes in literally five minutes
me: have you ever been to Houston texas
Idk how anyone could watch this show and not have a deep appreciation for Cody and what he does.
Simple. People born with common sense find the guy to be outright laughable. Talking about a valuable resource that keeps winds, hails, and infections at bay when choosing to walk around barefooted in shorts. There's a word you might've heard before, Winnie the Pooh made it popular back in the day. He's a hypocrite. Everything he says is contradicted by his actions.
Never seen joe that happy lol
I love watching these 2 men surviving in the wild
Why does Joe look like he’s walking on a golf course making that X
When they worked they worked amazing. Sad to see the two break up so badly.
Cody looks like Micheal Scott when he played prison mike on this episode with his bandana
Watch out for the dementors
I would never think a balloon like that, someone is signaling for help
Anybody seen the office episode where Michael Scott goes off and does his own survival? This guy reminds me of Michael Scott lol
Make a pants tent!
Joe: "I'm on a mission to assess the situation and get out of here... did i mention my training?"
Legend has it that they just found the balloon themselves the next few days
Funny. I was just thinking this might be a useful thing to do, only I would've tied it down.
Exactly what I was thinking. So anyone who sees it knows where you were.
Tie it with what?
@@The_tiny_zoo if you can craft a Mylar balloon you can fashion a rope.
@@The_tiny_zoo: Anything you want. The forrest is full of fibers you can use. For this use-case it doesn't have to be very strong. Roots are great. My imagined scenario is my canoe capsizing in a remote area. I would have a fishing line. The paracord I use in my belt looks black to the eye, but it's actually reflective so when I try to take a picture of it, it looks white. That would be very useful in such a situation.
All I’m saying is at the end of the show shepherds came down through there with the balloon and the note/map in hand and got them out 😬
5:07 Cody laying his shots in, lmfao.
Joe: I keep my blade sharp.
Joe holds his knife by the blade and not the handle.
I was thinking they were in Washington when he said th ees weather changed
How to make a hot air balloon signal for under $20 with no commercials
This is by far the best team, they might fight time 2 time but it’s for the better
This one made me respect joe
This felt like a fun science project
This es dope guys all you need now es some #offgridmusic stay safe out there 🍃😊
I cannot believe they are actually getting along
cody and joe should mend their relationship after that falling out they made a good team
IMO Cody had more ingenuity than any of them...
60 mikes away....... “there is a UFO in the sky!!!”
A balloon head, always full of hot air? Of course Joe would know everything about it.
(Disclaimer: Not exactly verbatim)
Joe: "Hold up Cody!"
Cody: "What is it Joe!"
Joe: "Do you see those two trees up ahead?"
Cody: "Which two? There's a bunch Joe."
Joe: "You don't see that!!?"
Cody: "What?"
Joe: "Look about 40 meters in between those two trees on the ground!"
Cody: "Oh that."
Joe: "You see it Now.. Right!!!!!?"
Cody: "Well.. if it's the same thing I'm seeing.. it looks like a pile of dirt."
Joe: "Cody! That's an Ant Pile."
Cody: "Okay?.. What about it?"
(Joe now explains to the camera)
Joe: "When I was in Special Forces you are taught to always keep your head on a swivel. If you come across an Ant Pile of that magnitude in size, you Do NOT turn your back on it. And in Special Forces training, when you come across something that Lethal, you do Not approach it.. at all. In Special Forces, you are taught that an Ant Pile just doesn't have Not One or Two Ants ready to Ambush you. There are literally a lot. And in Special Forces, when just One Ant picks up on your scent, it lets all the other Ants know that you are around. And in Special Forces, you are taught that when those Ants realize that you around, even if it's 40 meters away, you are compromised. There is No Way that I am going to allow my partner to face the danger of a massive horde of Ants to Ambush me or partner."
Joe: "What about it!? Cody, you are out here with No shoes on and an Ant Pile that big is literally 40 meters away. I am Not turning my back on that Ant Pile!"
Cody: "Joe, let's just keep going and just walk around the Ant Pile and find a place to build a shelter and make a fire and try to find some water and food."
Joe: "No! I'm going to low crawl off to the left and flank them and Utterly Destroy that threat."
Cody: "Do what?"
(Again, Joe talks to the camera)
Joe: "You see, that's what I'm talking about. Cody doesn't understand that I am Special Forces with skills that HE doesn't have. And Cody is out here with No shoes with a freaking Ant Pile right in the path of our mission target. If I allow my partner to get near that Ant Pile, it's game over. PERIOD!"
Cody: "Joe, I've dealt with many Ant Piles over the years. Beginning when I was a child. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you."
(Again Joe talks to the camera)
Joe: "In Special Forces training, you are shown a Documentary on how dangerous Ants can be. It's called.. Attack Of The Killer Ants. Ants are nothing to take lightly. I've seen the destruction of what Ants can do."
Joe: "Cody! If you aren't going to help me get rid of this threat, just move back about 80 meters or so. I'll handle this."
Cody: "Okay Joe. Well, when you feel that your life isn't in any more danger, I'll be in the shelter I'll build sitting next to the fire I rubbed two sticks together and you can rehydrate and fill up on some calories from the food and water that I gathered for you.. i mean us."
(Joe finally arrives at the shelter)
Joe: "I had to call in an airstrike."
Cody: "Why?"
Joe: "There were just too many Ants to flank."
Cody: 🤔
Dopest thing I’ve ever seen 💪🏽💪🏽
This would have the same likelihood of working as putting a note in a bottle and throwing it into the sea. This is by far the dumbest thing they could have done. They should have used it as signal along with the trees they used as an "x" since the wind would whip it around easily thus adding movement to rescue signal.
Yes, if you're going to ruin a space blanket, used it to place a signal(s).
The idea is stupid as hell. But I'm very impressed that it actually worked.
Cody dressed in balla colours👀🤣
It would have been funny if the balloon got stuck in the tree lol
Ikr lol
If you go to 8:35. Why is he carrying that log that way? hahaha the other dude is some ware els.he hates burning energy but yet hes carrying it like a bam bam from the flintstones.
I would have laughed if it went straight into the sharp tree and poked a hole after all that lol the only tree in a field and they let it go right next to it!!!!! Also the ballon most likely blew un even and went down not to far from them. Point being... WASTED RESOURCE
Cody needs his old riding partner back. I can’t help but feel that Joe is a dode-noggin :/.
Never seen a rapid weather change? Five minutes? Come on man :/.
Even the weather here in LA is unpredictable one time it was entirely cloudy and it was 90° to a 100° and one's the cloud finely cleared the sun burn my skin like acid I wander if other states have similar weather.
I imagine they throw them in “survival” situations and then say things like today’s special challenge is signal balloon making. You have 2 hours and a piece of string go! 😂
What if it would have hit that dead tree and torched the place lol
It'd be funny if it hit the tree and tore it lmao
Do you deconstruct the x when you're rescued?
Yes, that's the ethical thing to do.
I think Code and Dave already did this is an earlier episode? Weird that they just repeat the same contraption instead of showing something new.
“Weather changes in 5 minutes” obviously ain’t been to England before 😂😂
Foi.muinto.legal.este.balao .
Foil balloons are awesome you can literally sit on them and they won't pop
4:42 why does cody look high?
Do you know Matt on the show i swear he was high on one ep
Were can I found full ep.
who else loves there videos
should've written 'help' on it
Hey the camera guy was clearly helping him move that big log for the signal X. You don’t get a camera guy to help you out in a real survival situation
8:36 is it me or is someone helping him lol
What episode is this
I liked both of them, it's too bad they couldn't hash it out and move past their personal issues.
Joe couldn’t learn how to take a joke
Why didn't they make the basket big enough for them to get in and then they could have got out of there
cody = im more muscualr than u are and i have braids lol
Why didn't you add the part where thay get rescued it wasn't much farther away
Well this didn’t age well 😂
Idk why Cody talks about hypothermia yet is barefoot with no leg covering.
Cody looks very tired
If you near streets you have address or your in the forest and have no idea where you are
I highly fuckin doubt anyone even saw that balloon in the middle of nowhere
what season and episode is this?
Oh I forgot to attach the note! Fuck!!
go down and make a clothes line with strings and sticks
alternatively politicians could help out with that hot air....
“This weather changes quit” I guess he never been to pa
No Ohio it’s crazy here
These comment sections are the home to the default pfp’s.
Why they waste time trying to get rescued when they are obviously not stranded
Nobody else is talking about how the blonde dude had no pants on @ 5:15
He did. There just almost the same color as his legs. Look closely.
Cody doesn't believe in ufo he already identified them
Someone has to say it. "Where there's sheep, there's shepherds." And where there's shepherds, there's scared sheep 😂😂
hahaha
No god damn way
Joe is an immature one compared to cody
Why didn’t they tie it to a tree so it would stay above where they were?
how would anyone get the note lmao. it’s not a signal it’s a message in a bottle
@@TruIyDead oh ok I don’t if they showed a message though
Olá Dioi.eu.gostaria.de.ti.conheser.pesoalmente.
Naw Cody doesn't like Joe and neither do I. He's way too cocky.
And it doesn’t save them
Lol
