We dont have bears, courgars, wildcats, coyotes, any large dangerous poo poo. Like the US does.

Its just bugs and heat, and thats generally far out of town.

Yeah its generally inhospitable if you leave the coast and go deep past all the farmland or real far up north, which then becomes kinda tropical eventually.

The Australia is dangerous thing is such a sad overwrought lie

Why in the absolute gently caress would you include coyotes on that list, especially when you have dingos.

Australia has that rear end-burrowing beetle that hangs from your taint and swears that it won't burrow in your rear end, cmon guy i'll just hang from your taint for a few weeks, just until i find my own place. But as soon as you're distracted it burrows in your rear end and your insurance won't cover the extraction because you let it hang from your taint

Fun Shoe

Imagine genuinely losing your child to wild animals and having the pre-eminent comedy TV show at the time make fun of you for it

I think the furor from North Americans about Australian wildlife is because it's mostly relatively small and venomous. I mean, we've got black widow and recluse spiders and several varieties of venomous snake too, but we largely don't have to shake out our shoes before we put them on, or check the shitter for bitey friends. Meanwhile our carnivorous megafauna pretty much prefers to stay away from the cities where most people live. Plenty of people will go their entire life without knowing anyone who's even seen a bear or a cougar outside the zoo.

Coyotes will live in a city no problem, but they'll go for your cat long before they'll go for your kid, and there's been precisely one adult on the entire continent that we know to have died by coyote. If a bear or cougar walks into my city it makes the news. Wolves are real shy, they don't do cities at all. I don't know what it's like in South America but I learned last year that jaguars are the big cat least likely to attack humans, it's like they just didn't evolve around us long enough to see us as prey like the old world big cats. (Not an issue cougars have, though... but technically they're not big cats, they're the biggest small cat.)

I’m not saying Australia is particularly dangerous just that it’s mostly wilderness which it totally is. The populated areas of oz are a tiny strip around the edge. The middle is just bush and desert

I saw his book in a shop once, I think it was pretty much just simple step by step instructions for building stuff with screens from his videos as guides. I tried to buy it later and I could never find it anywhere.

Anyway he lives in far North Queensland which really is like, 99% inhospitable wilderness full of horrible poo poo that wants to kill you so I dunno why that other dude's complaining.
But it's nice cos you at least know there's no giant crocodiles when you're in the rainforest.
