Spencer Hoffman and Sicarius spp.

[darkness975]

I get that the whole handling thing is for views but I am curious what others think about his message in general.

 

[TheraMygale]

I need to watch this first. Curious.

so far. I have mixed opinions. I see where this is going…

i wont watch any of his other videos, but does he ever handle OBT’s, S cals or H macs.

he emerged, victorious, of the final most difficult boss level. I think the message get losts in that.

i suppose his video is not aimed at people like us, who keep them.

i wonder if he got bit, what message that would have sent.

Risky, but it'll get views for sure.

thats about it. Who else is watching that? people see these things and think, thats my next bucket list.

they won’t see the science behind Sicarius. Why its so “deadly”. Its not venomous to bite, it only has a limited number of bites…

Sicarius is an excellent movie too. No gets away from Sicarius. This spider is no assassin. Its just highly evolved.

its like our pet rocks, only has venom
instead of UrS. But even then, its about “eating”. Not hurting. Our brachies and grammas, dont move for a reason.

Sicarius doesnt bite for nothing. Pretty sure if he squeezed a leg though…

it goes for all arachnids. I hope people can see through the adrenaline. But the way this person goes about it, just shows its possible to handle a deadly spider.

now everyone can.

first human to die from Sicarius, 2025. In a town near you, Christmas 2026.

I gave the video 2 seconds. Drama music. All about getting views. May contain accurate information but I'd rather swallow my food than have a nutrient enema.

the accurate information is not really pertinent to the message. Because the emphasis is on survivng the handling.

its a shame, because they could get an even better message across.

Thrill seeking and pumping up audience adrenaline. But viewed objectively, it's just more male bovine feces and often taking advantage of the animal. Why stop at some spider, let's go for the gusto, a saw scale viper, or a rutting bull elk? To which the realistic reply is "I'm only some dumb. Not plumb dumb."

Apologies. I dropped out of the school of living a vicarious life. Pant's wetting time is much more real and enjoyable when it's spontaneous.

i first thought of snakes. Like a black mumba or something. And its probably already been done.

the approach is all wrong, because its not done in respect. Its a “game/challenge”.

i survived rabies by camping at night without a tent, in a rich bat ecosystem. I guess im a badass.

@TheraMygale I often recall a camper with a rattler in her sleeping bag against her leg. Sleeping bag surgery, me exponentially more nervous than she was. Like close to a half hour right on the knife edge.

theres always room for a machete under a pillow, or mattress holder.

@TheraMygale Not realizing it at the time, working that pack station was pure thrill seeker. Our four problematics: common on almost a daily basis. Tarantula hawks, night cruisers - scorps, rattlers, and the deadliest animal of the lot, horses.

 

[TheraMygale]

horses

it just takes one whos off the lot eh.
