Vietnam's Amputee Tribe: Smoking Human Limbs, Eating Cow Dung, and Marrying Multiple Wives
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.

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 ._.

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

@@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.

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.

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.
Easily my new favorite channel 🤙🏼
A good deal is actually having a vacation style job. You’re essentially a tourist wandering around with a translator.
Andrew's comparison to biltong ❤🇿🇦 Cultured AF.
Great story telling
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
Amazing documentary! And love the music choices. What are they?
Bravo! you are one arm or one leg ahead of sonny in this place!
It's crazy that I'm Vietnamese. I visited Hoang Su Phi. And I know nothing about these traditions. Thanks for making the video!
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)
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.❤
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
Hey Andrew, those are HMONG people that live in Veitnam that you visited... Another great video, I enjoyed this one very much.
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.

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.

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!

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

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

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❤
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.
