The Day I Almost Died

How our parents got to school acording to their stories.

Basically me after I reach the top of the stairs

6 years later this video decided to show up in my feed

"We climbed with no porters, no guide, and no gps, .... Here's where the stupidity kicks in"

I don't know if you guys watched the movie Everest, but the people missed their turnaround by a bit, hit a storm, and then took a nap and died - easily could've been Casey

I still come back to this video because it's one of Casey's greatest stories and vlogs ever.

wow they did literally every mistake a mountainieer who is about to die could make.

6:17 this should be the thumbnail...

Casey - You are very lucky to be alive. The danger here is not the cold or lack of endurance. It is lack of oxygen (hypoxia). This starts happening above 12,000 ft. This mountain is 22,828 ft tall. One key symptom of hypoxia is confusion. Basically, you start making very bad decisions.

I saw the thumbnail and was not even phased by the fact you were half way up a mountain, more like 'oh look, another day for casey neistat'

Climbs a mountain not satisfying enough Climbs another mountain

Non climbers never realize the top is only halfway. These guys are way out of their league.

Rumor says that Snoop Dogg was higher than you on that day

I climbed Aconcagua in 2003. Even though the group I was with had guides, they both got got Hypoxia on summit day and wondered off and left us. I remember stumbling up to the summit by myself, taking twice as long as I had no idea where I was going. As you were having blackouts you were very lucky to not have fallen over on the summit approach, those big boulders at the top are loose and constantly moving about - at one point I was climbing over them with crampons, I remember thinking that this is probably not a good idea. It felt like I was drunk and hungover but lucid and walking underwater, once I got to the summit I just collapsed - I didn’t even take a photo or look around, I just wanted to get back down again.

moment of silence for the countless brain cells that died when he summitted

They have a term for what you experienced, "summit fever". You are so close but you know you should turn around to stay alive. This has killed many people on Mount Everest.

So I just found this guy. wtf have I been doing

The coolest thing about your videos is that you basically have really good footage from things from a while ago and it’s almost like when you filmed it you expected to make a bunch of stories about your life when you were older

Casey: Doing crazy stuff and having a interesting life Me: Choking on a cheeto as I watch Casey's video

Made literally every mistake possible and still made it down alive. That's an achievement
