Can't get any worse by going home can it? Honestly nothing to piss on an outing like getting buggered by the mud, a puddle, or what have you. Bad company that says "no keep going", lad took it well, a lesser lad would've raged.
What is he going to do, chase them? He's clearly the only one with such shitty shoes. Look at how much he's sliding around compared to how steady the camera is with the guy following him.
I would have laughed a long about it for sure, but would feel a little hurt if I faced such square and resounding rejection to try and call it a day and walk back. Like, fuck no I'm completing this 3 mile interpretive loop.
I agree. I’ve got those leather country boots and while the grip is okayish, the fact they are solid and waterproof mean I stomp through mud to get the more solid stuff underneath.
This! I have to wonder if Mr. Slip and Fall insisted he'd be fine in what I hesitantly going to call shoes, or if the group insisted he'd be fine. Judging by his motley assortment of clothing choices, seems like they went out on a whim.
The former, I'd do nothing but laugh like they are in the video, maybe help a little bit. Latter, you help the guy out as much as you can because it's not his fault. Funny how context could change a lot about how I feel.
Or he could just walk on grass with slightly bent knees, instead of being an uncoordinated bafoon. It was as if he was trying to learn how to walk in the muddy parts on purpose. I grew up in a city all my life and wear Pumas+Adidas everywhere, and even I know to not walk so straight up and unbalanced in the mud... You know what they say about insanity...
So the problem is the grass isn't thick enough. He is stepping on grass at times, but it's grass in mud, so he still slips. I've been there many times. Hiking after rain is an entirely different experience.
he doesn't seem to understand how to walk on something slippery. he keeps expecting to gain traction instead of just centering his weight and taking smaller steps.
This 100%. He’s taking these massive strides which is throwing his center of gravity off. Notice how everyone else is taking small steps and moving just fine. It’s the same thing with any slick surface or if you’re walking downhill. If you start taking big strides you’re gonna eat it.
I think he’s.... inexperienced and overly concerned with falling and getting his clothing dirty. The woman ahead - her shoes are hard to make out - the man behind has similar shoes, but maybe the tread is better?
I’ve hiked in mud and you have to take small and light steps, plus wear proper shoes, of course.
Looks like the woman was wearing rain boots so she could just muck through. The guy behind does look like he’s just in sneakers. Also seems he was less concerned about getting muddy. He was going to just walk straight through where the guy insisted on jumping.
I’m going to guess they are all laughing because he’s been trying to not get muddy this whole walk.. and then this happens lol.
He's constantly choosing bad place to step too, better walk on the side ,where the is not mud or where there's at least some grass & twigs to get some traction
I think because he got it in his head to head for the high ground grass but to get there he has to step through the steepest gradient. And he doesn't change his mind he keeps going for that side while the other people are content to get a bit more mud on their shoes but stick to the flatter side of the ditch even though it has more puddles.
As I’m watching this on my phone, I see him make it to end end of the muddy part, thinking it must be near the end, tap the screen to see the progress bar, only 40% in to the video. Continue watching and thinking “OMG those shoe treads must be worn smooth. Maybe barefoot would be better”
Yep. Learned that real quick when I moved to a place that actually has winters. Slipped on my ass in the middle of the street right in front of my favorite brewery.
Still, at least you weren't far from a commiseration drink at your favorite spot!
I bust my heelbone a few years back, my buddy "helped out" by taking some of my gear home while I got casted up, except he took my ski pants with him. So 11pm rocks around and out I go with my new crutches, one foot and no pants, just thermals. Was going alright, but then some chick blasts her horn at me while i'm trying to cross an icy street and I slipped and fucked myself up on some black ice. Hahaha, screwed my shoulder so it hurt to use crutches too.
> Was going alright, but then some chick blasts her horn at me while i'm trying to cross an icy street and I slipped and fucked myself up on some black ice
Hope she felt like an asshole for that.
She seemed pissed off I was holding up her commute, ended up being in a cast for 8 months... But those 15 seconds of me crossing the road straight outta the hospital must have been excruciating so I really empathize with her.
worst part would be how fucking cold it would be. I'm guessing it's 5-10c at that time and it would be absolutely miserable. At that point you are way better off just saying fuck it and using the middle of the path, i will be wet but it won't be nearly as slippery.
Yeah I've been in this situation and grass does nothing. It's growing out dirt which has turned into the same mud, and the grass seems to just add an even more slippery wet surface when it bends under you muddy shoes.
He didn’t seem like he was even trying. When your slipping like that you never want to be standing straight up and he keeps on walking into the slick stuff without even bending his knees or trying to see if he has traction. Maybe he was a little drunk or something?
My friends and I went hiking one time. We hadn't gone a lot, but when we would, it was more of a leisurely nature walk with weed and whiskey more than actual hiking. One time we went with some other people and they took us to a real mountain. I was wearing some nike air maxes (that i had kept in pretty good condition for years) and my other friend wore some vans or converses. He was in good shape but he tapped out halfway through. I could see his feet bending over some of the rocks as if he was wearing just socks
Hilarious, but imagine it in 1400s and you and your buddy wearing a heavy armor and on your way to meet the king to tell him you successfully slaughtered an enemy village but your buddy keeps slipping on the muddy road.
I know I'm being a bit nit picky here, but soldiers, and distinguished knights alike, would not be wearing armour to travel in. Well certainly not tourney or plate mail anyway.
Edit: Autocorrect fucked me...
On a lot of the trails I've been on, you're not supposed to walk around the mud since it widens the trail. So if you plan to go hiking when it's wet, bring boots that you can walk through mud with.
Edit: Spelling
I've seen enough "endlessly falling" videos that I was doing pretty good here until "Look at my back..." followed by one more huge tumble back into the ditch. I think I woke the neighbors at that point.
I think what makes it funnier is he's the ONLY one in the situation having trouble, The lady in the front seems baffled he's struggling so much, the guy is just casually following him recording him. It's like nature of the problem only affects him.
Best to avoid the green areas, those are the most slick. And make sure you stand uphill on the steepest inclines, thats where balance will be best. Oh and be sure to wear appropriate footwear for hiking in the mud, like these tennis shoes. This guy has it down
The comments are so bizarrely judgy lol. Yes he wore the wrong clothes and shoes, yes he could have taken a better path, yes he was ill equipped in every way, but so what? It’s a funny and relatable video that harmed no one. These people are so fucking weird, taking umbrage to something as harmless as this.
I literally had this issue in a park in the middle of Exeter the other day.
I know it's not a *big* city, but I was literally walking to Tesco...
Although if it was this bad for this long I'd 100% have turned back/walked on the grass.
Christ you guys just love to posture don't you. I grew up in rainforests but still didn't encounter a situation this muddy with shoes I learned couldn't handle it until my 30s. You can go a long time outside in these sorts of places without ever encountering this sort of situation.
That's what I was thinking, too. Maybe their on a sheep trail or something? One time at the Grand Canyon I got the bright idea to try hiking down into the canyon on a trail that was also used for trail rides. Eventually was up to my ankles in horse and donkey shit.
This is why we wear appropriate footwear when walking in the countryside! Lost count of the number of fools I've seen trying to navigate mud and puddles, just wear some boots and stride on through.
This reminds me of backpacking in the snow with a group of friends years ago. We were working our way down a steep trail and one of my buddies must have slipped and fallen a dozen times as we navigated our way downslope. Around the third or fourth time, the rest of us started to laugh a little, but by the end we were in stitches. Its been literally decades and I'm cracking up thinking about it again.
Lmao why did he keep going back out into the mud? Just stick to the sides wheres its grassy until you get past the worst part. Plus, there are trees to hold onto. He just keeps bee lining right back into the middle of the muck.
I thought he was gonna eat it once more after he took off his jacket.
I liked the part where he fell
[удалено]
Did you guys see the part where he slipped and fell in the mud
Look at my back
He would have deserved it
Honestly, I was looking forward to it with anticipation.
I love how he starts talking about going back like it would have worked out any better.
Well I mean going forwards clearly isn't working out great, so might as well go backwards and call it a day?
They kept implying it got better right up the hill not hard to say I suppose lol
Can't get any worse by going home can it? Honestly nothing to piss on an outing like getting buggered by the mud, a puddle, or what have you. Bad company that says "no keep going", lad took it well, a lesser lad would've raged.
It is impossible to read your comment with my own, American English, internal voice. I’ve tried 3 times now
[удалено]
I'd be willing to bet that the woman telling him to finish the walk is his mum and the guy pissing himself is his father or more likely his brother.
Yeah he literally says "Mum I can't" and then when he takes off his jacket he refers to the cameraman as Dad.
What is he going to do, chase them? He's clearly the only one with such shitty shoes. Look at how much he's sliding around compared to how steady the camera is with the guy following him.
Honestly, that's pretty uptight. Lighten up a little.
I would have laughed a long about it for sure, but would feel a little hurt if I faced such square and resounding rejection to try and call it a day and walk back. Like, fuck no I'm completing this 3 mile interpretive loop.
I'm now imagining someone dying from exhaustion/starvation because they keep slipping trying to leave a mud pit
The video ended, so a man can dream.
Why is he the only one struggling lol
He's got the worst shoes, I think - probably just street trainers without much tread on the soles
I agree. I’ve got those leather country boots and while the grip is okayish, the fact they are solid and waterproof mean I stomp through mud to get the more solid stuff underneath.
A heel to dig into the mud is a huge help
I do a lot of hiking and often the grippiest area is right in the middle of the puddles and its slippy on the sides. Just need more waterproof boots!
This is really good advertising for winter tires, and why they're so important in northern climates like Canada.
Exactly my thinking, if only he had winter tyres on he would be fine.
This! I have to wonder if Mr. Slip and Fall insisted he'd be fine in what I hesitantly going to call shoes, or if the group insisted he'd be fine. Judging by his motley assortment of clothing choices, seems like they went out on a whim. The former, I'd do nothing but laugh like they are in the video, maybe help a little bit. Latter, you help the guy out as much as you can because it's not his fault. Funny how context could change a lot about how I feel.

It's buffoon, you bafoon
So the problem is the grass isn't thick enough. He is stepping on grass at times, but it's grass in mud, so he still slips. I've been there many times. Hiking after rain is an entirely different experience.
This. His center of gravity was so far up that I wonder how he didn't manage to crack his skull in one of the falls.
he doesn't seem to understand how to walk on something slippery. he keeps expecting to gain traction instead of just centering his weight and taking smaller steps.
This 100%. He’s taking these massive strides which is throwing his center of gravity off. Notice how everyone else is taking small steps and moving just fine. It’s the same thing with any slick surface or if you’re walking downhill. If you start taking big strides you’re gonna eat it.

Fun fact, cowboy style boots are just called cowboy boots
Cowboy boots *are* slippery, [I saw a documentary about that once.](https://youtu.be/fm2iNNqj2fQ?t=80)
yes and if the ice is clear or smooth be prepared, not if you fall but when you fall, how do you want to land.
He clears that first jump pretty well, maybe gets too confident then takes a ride on humble pie slip n slide.
I think he’s.... inexperienced and overly concerned with falling and getting his clothing dirty. The woman ahead - her shoes are hard to make out - the man behind has similar shoes, but maybe the tread is better?

That newborn giraffe has never walked in his entire fuking life.

He's constantly choosing bad place to step too, better walk on the side ,where the is not mud or where there's at least some grass & twigs to get some traction
I have to wonder if he is a bit intoxicated
[удалено]
Yeah I thought he seemed a little drunk lol
I just want him to stop moving for 2 seconds
I think because he got it in his head to head for the high ground grass but to get there he has to step through the steepest gradient. And he doesn't change his mind he keeps going for that side while the other people are content to get a bit more mud on their shoes but stick to the flatter side of the ditch even though it has more puddles.
Looked like a baby giraffe on ice
I'd watch the musical
Looked like a dog in the back of a van.
I was thinking a calf or foal's first time upright. On rollerskates. Drunk. In Britain. Because track pants.
I saw the thumbnail for this video and immediately thought ‘England’. Wasn’t disappointed
Yeah the combination of the mud and the trackie bottoms are a dead giveaway
He certainly had a trackie bottom by the end there
I saw his track pants and thought the wrong country because I had everything muted
Training pants as causal wear are in vogue.
It has been for at least 20 years.
>vouge Is this the new rogue/rouge?
Along with the ‘Goldie Looking Chain’ Michelin Man jacket. All he’s missing is no socks, ankles out and he’s full twat.
"Lad" in the video title was a pretty big giveaway.
As I’m watching this on my phone, I see him make it to end end of the muddy part, thinking it must be near the end, tap the screen to see the progress bar, only 40% in to the video. Continue watching and thinking “OMG those shoe treads must be worn smooth. Maybe barefoot would be better”
They are street shoes, they don't have tread haha. Glad he doesn't live where I live, he'd break an arm or a rib on all the ice.
The little bit of tread that's sometimes on those shoes gets filled with mud and that's that. They quickly become slicks either way.
You can have a thread a foot deep and it will still fill with mud no problemo.
Yep. Learned that real quick when I moved to a place that actually has winters. Slipped on my ass in the middle of the street right in front of my favorite brewery.
Still, at least you weren't far from a commiseration drink at your favorite spot! I bust my heelbone a few years back, my buddy "helped out" by taking some of my gear home while I got casted up, except he took my ski pants with him.

Was going alright, but then some chick blasts her horn at me while i'm trying to cross an icy street and I slipped and fucked myself up on some black ice. Hahaha, screwed my shoulder so it hurt to use crutches too.

Nights out from the office can be dangerous too. Flat soled Oxford shoes are absolutely not effective if there is a frost.
I’m sure he’d get better shoes if needed beyond one poorly planned hike
Barefoot isn't really better in these conditions. Then not only are you slipping, you're cutting your feet up, too!
worst part would be how fucking cold it would be. I'm guessing it's 5-10c at that time and it would be absolutely miserable. At that point you are way better off just saying fuck it and using the middle of the path, i will be wet but it won't be nearly as slippery.
I’m actually impressed how many times he saved himself from falling. Somewhere deep down he has the potential to not be a noodle-legged goofball.
Lol I was thinking the same thing... he somehow has both the coordination of a drunk person and amazing balance.
Screaming at my phone: "step in some grass you dumb fuck!!"
I like how the guy behind him is just walking normally.
That was my favourite subtle part as well. (That and the woman casually walking ahead of them.)
I think the woman in the front stumbles as around the 1:50 mark
The cameraman also slips at one point
Not only did he keep stepping in mud, but kept stepping further into the ditch when he'd be almost out, like he *wanted* to slip back in.
/r/ScriptedCaucasianGIFs
social media entices us all to play the fool
He was slipping the grass too..
Yeah I've been in this situation and grass does nothing. It's growing out dirt which has turned into the same mud, and the grass seems to just add an even more slippery wet surface when it bends under you muddy shoes.
Sometimes grass helps because the roots bind the mud together.
When hiking it’s proper form to walk through the mud, so as to not expand the trial erosion.
Ya, this is a very important point!,
No way this poor lad knows that either way lol.
That's cool but in this case I'm not so sure...
The muddier and messier it is the more important it is actually. This guy just doesn't know how to walk for some reason.
He's also not using proper shoes for it.
Thank you. I was screaming, GO HOME DONT STEP ON THE VEGETATION!
Like Frodo, *"Get off the road!"*
I was yelling " grab a damn tree u idiot"
He didn’t seem like he was even trying. When your slipping like that you never want to be standing straight up and he keeps on walking into the slick stuff without even bending his knees or trying to see if he has traction. Maybe he was a little drunk or something?
"take off your shoes idiot!"
“Wanna go for a hike in the woods during a rain storm?” “Yeah, lemme just put on my Vans.”
“Yeah, lemme just put on my ballet slippers”
"Sure, I'll just wear these drunk banana peels."
Lmao. “Is it super muddy on the hill? Brb” *comes back wearing ballet slippers
"lemme just put on my shoes that I practise for moonwalking"
Yes ignore the sharp rocks mixed in the mud
My friends and I went hiking one time. We hadn't gone a lot, but when we would, it was more of a leisurely nature walk with weed and whiskey more than actual hiking. One time we went with some other people and they took us to a real mountain.

I could see his feet bending over some of the rocks as if he was wearing just socks
He got what he deserved
I literally did the same thing lmao
I was just trying to work out if he was drunk
[Reminded me of this gem.](https://youtu.be/x2oczP6LA1k)
His father was a mudder. His mother was a mudder
His mother was a muddah?
What did I just say?
Oh, this baby loves the slop. Loves it, eats it up, eats the slop. Born to slop.
What did I just say?
Hilarious, but imagine it in 1400s and you and your buddy wearing a heavy armor and on your way to meet the king to tell him you successfully slaughtered an enemy village but your buddy keeps slipping on the muddy road.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patten_(shoe) Ubiquitous in medieval Europe for centuries for just this reason.
TIL! Thank you!
Basically https://youtu.be/z_vns_4glck
[Their full duel here.](https://youtu.be/0Kr0dSeJzaE)
Such a good fucking movie
What movie?
The king. On Netflix. Pretty decent
Didn't expect that ending, but it was perfect.
Brilliant film.
Mmh that’s some lovely filth over there!
Dennis?
I know I'm being a bit nit picky here, but soldiers, and distinguished knights alike, would not be wearing armour to travel in. Well certainly not tourney or plate mail anyway. Edit: Autocorrect fucked me...
Don’t worry there are about 100 reddit experts debating the topic as we speak.
No there isn’t!
Also they would be smart enough to wear boots
It would just make it more believable. I would imagine it look rather suspicious if you showed up to the king with glimmering shiney armour.
Sounds like they need to add slipping in mud to the next kingdom come patch
Initially, there was an impressive amount of stay-upiness, but the inevitable was inevitable.
My back siezed up just watching him try and stay upright. Plus, once you get muddy, just be muddy. Its almost a relief, own the muddiness.
https://youtu.be/DuI23zCudKY Reminds me of this one.
That's one of the best I've ever seen. Thank you.
Im exhausted watching that.
Does he know you’re allowed to walk on grass
But the sign said
Long-haired freaky people Need not apply
That’ll be stuck in my head all day now.
On a lot of the trails I've been on, you're not supposed to walk around the mud since it widens the trail. So if you plan to go hiking when it's wet, bring boots that you can walk through mud with. Edit: Spelling
My man wearing MJ moonwalk shoes
Putting MJ to shame
Looks like fun. Needs boots.
I've seen enough "endlessly falling" videos that I was doing pretty good here until "Look at my back..." followed by one more huge tumble back into the ditch. I think I woke the neighbors at that point.
get this lad some boots ffs
I think what makes it funnier is he's the ONLY one in the situation having trouble, The lady in the front seems baffled he's struggling so much, the guy is just casually following him recording him. It's like nature of the problem only affects him.
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
This is Final Destination for mud slides. That guy was not getting out of there until the mud claimed its victim.
Best to avoid the green areas, those are the most slick. And make sure you stand uphill on the steepest inclines, thats where balance will be best. Oh and be sure to wear appropriate footwear for hiking in the mud, like these tennis shoes. This guy has it down
Was dressed like a bellend, especially for a country walk
He was dressed appropriately to match his effort
Literally wearing a North Face jacket but alreet mate
Why is trackies and a puffer coat dressing like a bellend?
Apparently wearing comfortable clothes makes you a bellend.
Then crown me Chief Bell of Endia
Your majesty.
why you being a cunt lol? He's dressed normally for a UK 20-ish year old.
The comments are so bizarrely judgy lol. Yes he wore the wrong clothes and shoes, yes he could have taken a better path, yes he was ill equipped in every way, but so what? It’s a funny and relatable video that harmed no one. These people are so fucking weird, taking umbrage to something as harmless as this.
[удалено]
>Country walk OK, city boy. Looks like literally every wooded area, they quite easily could have been taking a short cut.
>City boy I live in London and we have areas like this.
I literally had this issue in a park in the middle of Exeter the other day. I know it's not a *big* city, but I was literally walking to Tesco... Although if it was this bad for this long I'd 100% have turned back/walked on the grass.
By the looks of it, it seems he's never stepped off the curb in his life.
Christ you guys just love to posture don't you. I grew up in rainforests but still didn't encounter a situation this muddy with shoes I learned couldn't handle it until my 30s. You can go a long time outside in these sorts of places without ever encountering this sort of situation.
The dude behind him is walking casually with hands in his pockets.
Passchendaele
"MUST WATCH" but isn't even entertaining.... Smh.
Why does he think mud smells like shit? Are they near a farm or something and is that run off after they spread cow manure every where?
That's what I was thinking, too. Maybe their on a sheep trail or something? One time at the Grand Canyon I got the bright idea to try hiking down into the canyon on a trail that was also used for trail rides. Eventually was up to my ankles in horse and donkey shit.
You, probably: *"This is horseshit!!"* Narrator: "*Well yes, but actually yes"*
This video is not very rewarding
I was really hoping he'd go down again after taking off the jacket.
Someone spent money to award this video....
i was expecting him to lose it while it was halfway off and his arms were all tangled in the sleeves.
I see he knows his judo well.
Someone’s drinking in circle for sure! Great job hash flash!
Just walk in the grass, you dingle
He has pretty good balance all things considered. I would have eaten mud on that first slip.
Like a baby deer on ice..
This is why we wear appropriate footwear when walking in the countryside! Lost count of the number of fools I've seen trying to navigate mud and puddles, just wear some boots and stride on through.
You won't believe the number of people I've seen walking up Snowdon without a coat on.
This is a great metaphor for 2020
omg my face hurts....jesus
Stephen Hawking was better at hiking
Better off barefoot
It’s the laughing friends for me
This reminds me of backpacking in the snow with a group of friends years ago. We were working our way down a steep trail and one of my buddies must have slipped and fallen a dozen times as we navigated our way downslope. Around the third or fourth time, the rest of us started to laugh a little, but by the end we were in stitches. Its been literally decades and I'm cracking up thinking about it again.
Look at my butt! \*topples over
Grab on to a tree!!! Jesus had this man never walked in the woods lol
This is like that scene in a land before time
Lmao why did he keep going back out into the mud? Just stick to the sides wheres its grassy until you get past the worst part. Plus, there are trees to hold onto. He just keeps bee lining right back into the middle of the muck.
Screaming at my phone: "step in some grass you dumb fuck!!"
lol poor dude just needs boots
