THE REAL DANGERS WE FACE IN MEXICO

40 Comments

1. Happy Saturday amigos! What is your FAVORITE holiday tradition this time of year? 🦃🎄🎁🍷😍

2. Pulled over twenty times? You must drive like an idiot. I've was pulled over four times without cause in Mexico. Twice it was after dark and it was too risky not to pay a bribe. The other two were during the day and I was able to stand my ground and refused.

3. I know this is an old video,, but just had to comment and say how cool this is! I was just at the park you guys are in at the beginning of this video for my daily run and workout because now I live in puerto morelos!! It’s already changed quite a bit just from a few years ago when you guys were there! :0 Mexico is changing FAST.
   Huge thank you, and Maddie, and now May as well! for all the great and informative content in Mexico 🙂

4. A lot of sacrifices (mosquitoes, parasites, deceases and scorpions) in order to live in paradise.

5. 22:00 – You went from camera to online security which makes me want to suggest a point to anyone worried about home theft: Get security cameras that record directly onto the cloud, and make sure signage points this out. People can destroy those cameras, and even any equipment inside – but the data is on the cloud the moment anyone approaches the camera, so it's always "too late" to destroy any evidence. If a potential thief understands this, they're likely to move to the next target instead.

6. Don't be a YouTuber who bad mouths cartels, is a very great lesson.

7. Life comes down to common sense —– most of the time don't look for trouble and it wouldn't find you !!! Don't monkey with drugs or excessive drinking ! My friend and I drove down to A capsules and had no trouble !!!! People were warm and friendly !!! Wonderful people !!!!

8. Kinda similar to Tijuana

9. Those speed bumps will get you…I was in cabo and rented a scooter. As she said the bumps are unmarked and I smoked one goinh about 25-30mph. The road ate my skin up and kind of ruined the rest of vacation

10. I'm a UK 🇬🇧 citizen who has lived and worked in Mexico for 5 years. I have to that thr advice of "stick to your guns" when dealing with crooked cops IS THE WORST ADVICE! If it's clear the officer is looking for bribe…just pay him. It's too easy for a cop to "find" drugs or whatever and create very real very serious problems for you. In my experience "sticking to your guns" in these situations is just being an idiot.

11. Don't leave valuables in rental cars especially in the trunk when going on excursions etc or when your car will be unsupervised. Tourist thieves can be watching from a distance for this. They see you leave on a boat or whatever and know they have time to steal your belongings. They know how to jimmy or pop the trunk on rental cars without causing obvious damage. I am speaking from personal experience in Cancun when I was new to traveling to Mexico. They left us our airline tickets and our passports so we considered ourselves lucky.

12. Is it derogatory to call them Mexicans?

13. Hi again, I lived in Cancun in the 80's we rented a two-bedroom house. most evenings a pick-up truck with a guy blowing a huge fogger which was to me crazy because it literally fogged everything to the point you couldn't see your hand in front of your face! Thankfully we haven't suffered and ill aftereffects. Never had an issue with bugs except for one incident when a monster water bug used me for a landing strip, I did encounter a giant ant eater strolling across our yard! Really miss my hometown Merida, I will be there in April.

14. Ok, realize I'm 2-ish years behind the 8 ball…
    LOVE YOU GUYS!!❤❤
    (Regardless of your relationship starus❤ Wish you were still together. Adopt??)
    My husband and I ARGUE who gets to drive in a foreign country. The FUN of it IS THAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL W IT ALL!!!
    Again, ❤ you!! But learn how to DEAL w the driving conditions you live in, or be limited in what you can do!!!
    (From an avid off-roader, backpacker, and adventurer…❤❤❤)

15. In other words, pretend the cartels don’t exist, don’t talk about them and don’t criticize them. 😰
    But that’s why they’ve been able to grow and take over the powers that be in Mexico. 😣😖😔😟😕😕☹️🙁

16. Because of you two. We're planning to move to Mexico. We're young, retired and sick of the US. USA is over rated. And the government Lies about everything.

17. 17:36 NOT TRUE anymore, since 2015 in mexico you are innocent until proven guilty.

18. I'm in the Inland Empire of Southern California and when it's hot during the summer I can go outside and find 100 black widows in about 10 minutes. They are absolutely everywhere here. I have quite a few friends that work in the local hospitals and they say they hardly ever treat black widow bites. So even though they are extremely numerous they rarely bite people.

19. EVERY MEXICAN or Central American with any sense GETS THE HELL OUT OF MEXICO as fast as he can!!! So what do the LOCALS KNOW that you naively refuse to see???

20. I got a stopped bc I missed red light (passenger & I didn't see it) and he said he would give me a discount if i paid him then. Didn't write me a ticket either and i paid him. I didnt want to waste more time for our day adventure in Chichen Itza…but crooked cops exist

21. Interesting, because I guy I know from Mexico shows me videos of people getting killed by cartels all the time for dumb reasons. Not just other cartel members, but regular people. No thanks.

22. for real im asking any one is weed a big deal like with the cartels just personal others are hooking folks up right

23. Thousands make it out of Tijuana every year, but a couple thousand don't.

24. mexican driving is crazy until you drive in india…then you are grateful to the driver in mexico😂😂😂😂

25. Just went to Baja in April and had a great time, people were nice! Walked the streets of Ensenada and had no issues

26. To protect against Dengue Fever take the vaccine. And, I planned to visit Mexico back in 2014. I am in SoCal and every Mexican person I worked with at that time advised me against it. Even they told me they wouldn't return to Mexico. I guess every person has a different experience.

27. Fake bill or shady bill swap: maybe Take a pic of your pesos before you pay is a great option and

28. Hi guys. Do you have to carry your passports/visas with you at all times? What if your wallet or purse are stolen? Also, don’t you worry about the ice in your drinks. How do you know it’s safe? Thanks

29. Awesome video guys. We lived in Ajijic for a year four years ago. Didn't have one problem the whole time. If you don't go looking for trouble, it won't find you. Best year of my life. (so far) The Mexican people are absolutely awesome! Our daughter did Grade seven down there. The education system was first rate. 250 CDN dollars per month for school. I had a medical emergency which required an MRI. No problem. We paid cash (cheap) Would go back in a heartbeat!

30. Give respect get respect or die any where , MX drugs cartels ,just money to survive , US had weapons dealers killing people to up sale guns triple$ because they gave away guns to bad gangs /2 faces business ?? Get it ,

33. I went to visit my cousin and I witnessed a horrible crime happening to a young American tourist…
    one of the police officials was,
    the main perpetrator..
    I also witness this type of crime in Texas.
    by one of the biker gangs…

34. The only place we have encountered crime was in Venice , the culture centre of Italy!! My wife had her wallet robbed. We will never return to that cesspit!

35. You should take a cab in Turkey!! Totally terrifying! Lol😓😂

36. I had dengue fever in PDC/Bacalar in summer 1995. It sucked! You must be very careful if you are diagnosed with dengue to not get bitten again by a dengue-infected skeeter, the double shot can be fatal.

37. Yes, Jordan is correct about the roads and bad drivers in Mexico. I had a taxi driver that's speeding to deliver me to my destination, because he wants to go so fast. It's not just the young driver, but he's endangering others on the road, too. I love having my own car in Mexico and have a huge SUV that's a perfect narco car. Most drivers are excellent in Mexico, but the roads are hazardous, they always have two lane highways and some of the drivers can be very uneducated and incapable as drivers. There's never a highway with shoulders on the road – if you go off the road you can have a major accident. It's not just you though – drivers are passing where there's curves and no passing, so you could get a head on accident from people that are in a hurry. AND, there's also drunk drivers in Mexico, too, because there's alcoholism, too, and poorly maintained cars – a fatal combination.

38. Hahaha! I just spit coffee all over my laptop.
    Natural selection. I love that.
    A lot of people winning the Darwin award down there. 🤣

39. One thing that can be dangerous for Americans is just crossing the frontier itself, especially at night. This was told to me by a Mexican police officer.

40. Ive been binge watching a lot of your guts videos so have you done a video for TJ yet ?
