call me crazy, but i'm gonna go with what the seals say as opposed to a random youtube commenter

There is a reason why internal temps are taken during most of the evolution of buds. It's because they're driving you to hypothermia on purpose - they WILL get you there one way or another. In that respect, no different than getting kicked in the nuts. Most of them will be able to handle the initial cold - but are you going sit in that cold shower until you're about to die? If not- then you're wasting your time. Yeah, you'll be ready for the "shock" of the cold - but is that what you think the purpose of those evolutions are? You're not just cold in the surf, you're cold ALWAYS even out of the water.

So you're a SEAL?

@@YodaWasSith You do understand that there are more jobs and hobbies in the world that deal with nervous system shock from temperature than a Navy SEAL... Right? Edit: furthermore, the group of people who would study things such as the nervous system and how it deals with different stimuli are almost completely made up of people who are not Navy seals

@@alexdrum94 So a 15 minute cold shower can prepare you for hell week?

@@YodaWasSith We are specifically talking about a cold shock to your nervous system. So yes. A cold shower will help. Or as I specifically stated, an ice bath will help even more. You seem to want to "win" by restating my argument in an extremely reductive way. Why? Idk. It's weird though.

Right 😂😂 if buddy told me in 30 days he was gonna kick me in the nuts I probably would avoid him

... but the ocean doesn't shower over you... You're immersed in it. What he's saying is, learn to enjoy the suck when it sucks. With your brothers. It ain't the shit you've trained for and survive, it's surviving the shit no one could have anticipated. I'd say take the warmest showers you can and pamper yourself. Because from what I've heard, once you become a SEAL... The only easy day, was yesterday!

​@@kamikrazywarboy2008it might help a little bit if you're used to the initial shock of an ice bath or cold shower you definitely learn how to control your breathing more and not succumb to the shock... however that is one very small aspect of their training it's gonna be like pouring a cup of water on a forest fire. you might've dealt this one little problem but the entire forest is burning down so what's the point. 😂

​@@Yambag eh you can get used to both with the right girlfriend

BUDS ain't a test to make SEALS out of ordinary men. It's a test to find the SEALS among them, and make the ordinary men quit. And you don't just quit once.. you ring that Bell three times.

​@@kamikrazywarboy2008 bro superior or inferior it don't matter his advice is absolutely stupid

I think his point is that BUDS is supposed to separate SEALS from everyone through the use of shock training. But when you prep for it in advance, it defeats the purpose of it since we don't get a true sense of who would have naturally have the mental fortitude to pass.

It hardens you to be the best warriors in the world

That’s the whole point, they want you to adapt and prepare in the moment. When the shit goes down you gotta be ready within a split second.

I guarantee that no one in this reply section has gone through any sort of special forces training because you sure as hell can’t get through RASP without preparing beforehand

Those are the 1% that make it, the ones that can adapt without preparation, the ones that stay no matter how hard it gets, those are SEAL’s my great uncle who was a SEAL during the Korean War never talked about it, but no matter the situation he would just go, where I’m from it gets to -40 degrees and I’d seen that man go out and blow snow to get his truck unstuck and he went into town and came back with firewood later

​@Awoke Awoke Go ahead, slob all over SAS nob.

Bro who do you think the SEALs learned it from? There were a tonne of books by SAS about SAS operators, a handful about Delta as well before the first SEAL book ever came out. They just happen to be the most publicised now.

Preach! Stitched lips means man of self motivation, the preserve of the NATION of the United States of America is what I choose to uphold. United States of America is the home that I chose. United States of America will forever be my support and supporter!!!

Trust me bro, you cannot physically prepare yourself for BUDs, it gonna kick you in the balls every single day, I couldn’t make 2 weeks, it rly takes a special mf to complete BUDSS

I have a feeling that his advice got twisted by the time he finished his story. It sounded like he was starting out saying you are getting ready for the wrong stuff then ended with him just telling you not to prepare for anything. No one quits just because the water was cold. They quit because they are drug through hell. But honestly, how do you prepare for hell?

​@@abonynge his advice is extremely specific, everyone is just taking him out of context and taking it as general life advice... use his example... how do you prepare for that kick to the nuts? (you cant).

So you've never achieved anything.

@@christopherclouser2805 that’s an odd assumption. He said not to have cold showers to prepare for the cold water while comparing it to getting kicked in the nuts and preparing for that by getting kicked in the nuts to prepare. Having cold showers would prepare you for the cold water. It would prepare you to go through something shitty everyday. It would prepare your mind that sometimes things can suck but the feeling of achievement works wonders on the brain. His statement is moronic. I’ve had cold showers in and off for years. My first time in a cold bath in the mtns was no problem where other people struggled and rushed out.

@@RobVarley literally, cold water immersion makes cold water immersion easier, mentally and physically. not exactly sure what point he’s trying to make, would he also suggest not rucking or creating a habit of discipline before going for selection or even enlisting because its going to suck anyway? lol.

Everyone crying and thinks they are so right, and you come and bless my eyes, 10/10 comment

Are you 12?

No he's just dumb

It's not an issue to train, but thinking that you can actually prepare is a bad mindset. Being in decent physical shape and health is the only thing that you can do, but if you are in bad health and shape you wont even be allowed to attempt SEAL training. If you are in decent shape, there is nothing more you can do. I didn't attend BUDS, but I did go through Raider individual training course. I spent a long time physically preparing for it and I had perfect PT scores without effort, I felt unprepared 36 hours in.

@@aauwhatitdo1582 Those kinds of tests are not the kind you can prepare for. But you can prepare for a knife attack by training knife defense. You can prepare for a shooting by conceal and carrying and practicing your draw regularly. Not to mention it takes quite a long ass time to get in good physical shape, it's a constant demand not a one year thing. If you are telling me that all of these wouldn't even give me confidence and comfort in my movements then you're mistaken.

@@randallradke1279 BUDS only tests your physical ability and mental will. You don't do much shooting, fighting, or talking, you just suffer. You get a mentor going into BUDS, they make sure you are in decent shape, as long as you do the training the mentor tells you, you will be as ready as you can be.

@@aauwhatitdo1582 I still Disagree. I think with 100% certainty that randomly selected citizens would fail at a much greater rate than Recruits that choose to take buds. I don't think there is a way you can convince me otherwise

When the only hot water you can get is coffee fill a canteen cup with coffee and shave in deuce and a half mirror at the field mess.

That’s a great way to allow your discipline to slip..

@@SP-qo1so perhaps, and I’m no soldier, I just learned that from a canadian spec ops training video, not sure what it’s called anymore. TAKE THIS WITH GRAIN OF SALT

Shit analogy he made Ik, but still

I disagree. You should always try your best to be proactive and not reactive. Handle current problems and prepare for possible problems to avoid having more problems. Some people may be better reacting, but the vast majority of people will perform better if they anticipated their weak points and worked on them first.

This is the dude who claims to have been the one who killed osama bin laden

Doesn't he claim to have "killed" "Osama bin laden"

hes the one who killed bin laden.hes a. tier one seal team six guy.

This the mf that took down bin laden

I find most of his stories questionable to say the least and also his actions as a operator post-military. I also question why the other comments got deleted here.

Being I'm really good shape helps with sleep deprivation

So you think 10 miles is along way to run and 500 is alot of push-ups lmao you might want to think twice about BUDS or any similar training. I was a Paratrooper and served in SF which is no where close to BUDS I ran 10 miles on average with my Platoon in the morning and another 5-10 on my own after work just to keep up thats just the Infantry. My Platoon had a pull up bar in front of our office and there is alot of time when you don't have shit to do. We filled that time with standing in front of a pull up bar doing push-ups and pull ups all day long till it got stupid. We did morning PT went to breakfast and just went to the pull up bar and did that shit all day long. PT in the Infantry is constant. In BUDS it's like that times ten. None of that counts when you get smoked for screwing up.

I began my career as a Navy Rescue Swimmer which has alot of similarities to the beginnings of BUDS we ran 5 miles each way just to get to the chow hall for breakfast and lunch

While you do have lots of sleep deprivation but you eat alot BUDS. Ranger School on the other hand they do both sleep and food depravation.

@@joshualittle877 Dude...its an example. Dont talk hot shit to me about your service. I aint no fucking POG and got 3 deployments under me. 10 miles a day, 100 miles a day. I dont care. The point I was making is that you can be as prepared physically as you want, you cant prepare for lack of food, water and sleep.

Shits cold wether u think ur used to it or not. Ur just gunna torture urself more. Be man and take it. Building ur cardio and strength would make more sense than taking cold showers! Lol if u ain’t mentally tough, that’s a u problem.

Because you wanna be a math dude, and try an plan out buds by taking cold showers. just physically prepare, and go into the unknown ready.
