What's worse? A one minute bite flurry from five razor-jawed soldier ants? Or sixty straight seconds of stinging power from the infamous bullet ant?
Both of these insects utilize two very different, and powerful defense mechanisms... but which one packs a stronger punch?
Mark's on-location in Costa Rica to find out first hand!

What do you think? Should Mark take on the bullet ant gloves?
First
Maybe yes
And yes.
Yessss!!
Yes YES Y e s Y E S
Mark is taking coyotes bites and stings to the next level
What happen to Coyote
@@nopicture3612 dunno
Coyote when he got stung he got venom for 5 seconds but this man just tanked a bullet ant for a minute and he said the leafcutter ant was worse
@@nopicture3612 ikhaatje
This guy is insane
This guy has a higher pain tolerance than Coyote. Coyote takes the insect out the moment he gets stung, but Mark holds it for 60 seconds? That is impressive
I can't even hold it for 0.1 second
Yeah he seems way more resilient. But that's taking nothing away from Coyote. I've been full on stung by a bee before, and partly by a wasp. I _never_ would want the bee sting to happen again, it was like someone driving a hot, vinegar coated drawing pin into my finger. Call me what you will lol, but I was in agony for nearly half a day and it was sore for the next 2 days.
@netweed09 exactly bro. I couldn't even handle a yellowjacket wasp which hurt like hell made me cry. Hurt for several days. Glad someone's actually agreeing with me for once
@Forse32 I was younger back then that's why it hurt so bad. About 7 years old
@@Forse32 no worries
I love how Mark has more pain tolerance than Coyote even after holding the insect for a long time.
I really wanna thank Mark for keeping the Sting series alive... I love them so much!
That's exactly what I said, the sting videos they do are my favorite and even Peterson isn't doing them anymore, I'm glad there still being made. My personal favorite one was the Tarantula Hawk.
@@TRB4008he’s back :D
Me too, and I'm not sure why. I don't even watch any other Brave Wilderness content 🙃
In case people are wondering Mark Vins was more than just a cameraman. He is the CEO and Co-Founder of Brave Wilderness. He’s the Producer of the show. And now he’s the Host as Coyote Peterson is working on other projects. Have a good day and give Mark Vins more credit :)
When is Coyote coming back?
Coyote is still a host! Just FYI :) Thanks for the love!
@@BraveWilderness Good to know!👌🏼😁
Cap
@ቿ cap
I'm just sad people appreciate Coyote more than Mark. Mark is a legend for me and he deserves all the respect in the world
🙄🙄🙄🙄 It's not that serious. This dude is the producer; he's the one making bank. He could care less about us appreciating Coyote more. 🤣🤣
@@lucid_dreams420 Not that kind of appreciation.
honestly I don’t see that much of a problem with it, people can like who they want to like, and sometimes, they’re going to like one person over the other, and as unfair as it may feel, it’s just natural, and there’s not much we can change about that, but either way, everyone deserves love and respect, whether it’s equal or not, be happy with what you got, it’s better not to compare
@@meme-bc8tf True. Tnx for the wise words mate 🤗
@@TROLL_FACE_00 always glad to help people gain better understanding and newer knowledge of things ^v^
Mark - goes bankrupt, loses his wife to his best friend, she takes the kids, gets full custody, child support and alimony and also wins the lottery Matt - describe the pain
The fact that he was able to hold the bullet ant there without accidentally crushing it is crazy
Coyote: are you alright? Mark: *searing me absolutely searing pain*
nice role swap, normally mark asked coyote "are you okay"
Mario gets bitten by alligator Coyote: are you alright? Mario:searing me absolutely searing pain
😅😅😅😅
Coyote Peterson wanna be over here lol
The tables have turned
I love how Mark is taking bites and stings like Coyote, especially getting stung by the bullet ant.
Nah he handles them wayyy better than Coyote ever did
The ants just going back home like “guys you’ll never believe what just happened”
i can't believe how he pushes the sting/bite even more then coyote! i remember watching him and thinking he was crazy but man, Mark is even more crazy! Thankful for your videos and I hope you guys don't die on your journey into the great wilderness!
These bite/sting videos are probably the best you guys put out, in my opinion. I've been stung by wasps, hornets, and bees, and I have an incredibly strong aversion to something I know will be painful, so it's great to know you do this purely for educational purposes. Plus the entertainment is something to look forward to.
And also it matters of what type of gloves
@@BBallers234 I haven't worn gloves, so I'd be delighted to know the context. If you're asking whether I've worn "bug gloves," no.
...and money
Ant surgery be like:
The fact that they don’t swear when their in this much pain is amazing
Can we all just appreciate the amount of hard work they put into these types of videos ...
I know right?
Thank you for saying that, our team works really hard on these videos from field production to editing
@@BraveWilderness that must be hard
@@BraveWilderness i could not live without you. You are a legend.
For real they travel thousand of meters to educate us about Nature
Bro watched coyote screaming in pain all this time and really through “I want a turn”
Who else is feeling the pain with him
"Ahh! They just bite harder!" That one killed me. Props to the Brave Crew.
While the close ups of the Leaf Cutters ripping Marks skin to shreds looked brutal, I couldn't imagine having that much venom pumped through my veins by the Bullet Ant.
The bullet ant sting looked pretty brutal too, there was blood shown.
I love how coyote took one sting and was on the ground writhing in pain and mark took 60 seconds worth of stings and went: "hoo wee...wow...OW!"
@@user-un1wk5st5x Mark is far less dramatic.
@@DL541 everyone has different pain tolerance
Yea because they over exaggerate for KZhead. The sting is not nearly as painful as coyote makes it out to be, it’s just for content.
@ቿ although that is true, Coyote acted like he got shot from a one second sting meanwhile Mark lasts a whole minute. It’s all dramatized for KZhead content. It is entertaining just not entirely genuine.
Jacks World Of Wildlife has taken bullet ant, tarantula hawk, executioner wasp, stings, also black widow bites, etc and it's amazing how much far less dramatic he is than Coyote. It's not uncommon for him to kiss the insect and sweet talk it as he lets it walk on his face. (and he pokes fun at Coyote's over-dramatism regularly) lol. Don't get me wrong I appreciate Coyote's videos and there have been videos where I think the way Coyote reacts to stings/bites is 100% authentic(even some where he has a crazy reaction to the pain such as the Gila Monster and Giant Desert Centipede bites), but other times he definitely overreacts for the views. I get why he does it though, it makes him a living. It definitely gets the view counts up and helps his appeal to children which is still fine to me, as it helps get kids interested in wild creatures. That being said, I'd never say Coyote isn't tough. Overreacting on purpose or not, ultimately he's still put himself in a lot of dangerous situations and been through a lot of pain. But I do kind of prefer Mark's style overall....not quite as overdramatic as Coyote and I like his video style a bit better.
Bro don't risk your living being injured. Neither getting bit by these ants 🐜
9:42 lol, geez Mark, why you gotta be so inconsiderate? We don't wanna be here all day! I'm sure he wasn't as annoyed as he sounds, but he sure sounded like he was 🤣
If that’s really a bullet ant, mark has a serious set of balls and a pain tolerance towers higher than coyote
Coyote has officially passed the torch. Welcome to the big leagues, Mark! 😅😅
What happened to coyote?
@@themainsbreakdown1465 died
@@darkbowls6887 ur kidding right?
@@bp-u-will-always-be-famous no he died.
Wait in all honesty did he really die? And if he did how
I've been watching ever since 2017! It's amazing to see these two ants back on the channel.
mark and coyote are absolute LEGENDS. I don’t get how both of you two can cope with so much pain. LEGENDS !!!!
Mark is such a BEAST when it comes to stings! I love how he is keeping the channel alive!
My exact thoughts when you said you were going to do the 60 second thing with the bullet ant were "this man is crazier than Coyote" and I love that. I know you guys take a lot of precautions before filming(I've been watching since early 2017). But I want to remind you to be careful. While these are super interesting and entertaining to watch, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you guys that you couldn't come back from.
Yeah he’s like Steve-O and Coyote is like Johnny Knoxville. It’s great. 😂
@@jaycho6747 coyote is better
I dont care which one is better
@@randomdude69421 me either! I'm just proud of him! Like I said, I've been watching Brave Wilderness for a while! (And for the record, I love both, but Coyote is my favorite, not because he's better, but because I've been watching him the longest!)
@@BrokenHeartedVS respect +1
Dude is taking it to another level lmao
*what do you do for living?* Mark:*get hurt by insects*
Camera man : "Mark you have to hold it on there for a full minute" Mark in his head: "YOU TRY THIS"
That man saw coyote screaming in pain so many times and thought "i wanna do the same thing!" respect and best wishes, u guys are great stay safe & be wild !
CREAMING??
Creaming 😂
Damn that pain must be good
Damn bro that’s kinda sus
Creaming…?😟
mark being a gigachad for get bit and stung by 2 dangerous ant species for 60 seconds... what a true god
Mark when even farther with the sting and bite zone. Hats off to you sir.
Coyote: yeah, I'm done with stings and bites. Mark, you go man.
Isn’t this like comparing a chainsaw to a bath of acid… one is chemical one is physical
Yes very pig
For science! 😜
I like cows
You can still compare the pain scale…
@@AccelerationXS They're delicious
Everyone is thankful for you continuing bravewilderness
Mark is doing great he's keeping the brave wilderness spirit alive best he can
I 100% want to see you attempt the gloves! I've watched documentaries on the glove ceremony and it's so crazy they actually hallucinate after wearing them
bro they aibt doin that lol. way to dangerous
@@ghostbirdlary well the last like 30 seconds of the video does make it aware they are indeed trying it
@@darkanubis00 we'll see iig
This guy has more balls then Coyote Peterson! What a legend
Coyote has bigger and more balls
Literally
Omg😢😢
😭😭😭
He is a legend, true, but I'll only consider the first part true when he takes on the Executioner Wasp. It doesn't even need to be a greater feat than Coyote's, it ça be the same and I'll consider it true.
I love this channel so much, you pretty much got bit by everything, but I’m sure there’s more waiting for their turn 😂
I love how they ask “mark are u ok?” While he is just screaming in pain
The intense pain caused by the leaf cutter would make you think it won, but the length and range of the bullet ant imo was the winner before he even set out on this challenge, plus it was 1 vs 5.
That looks so painful! I would definitely not do that! Your so brave! You deserve a lot of subs!
Props to these guys for not cussing. 👏🏻
I think why u experienced so much pain from the bullet ants is because most ppl brush it off immediately after being stung but u had it there pumping all of its venom for 60 seconds. That’s most likely why it was hurting for more than 24 hrs as well
I love how Mark is keeping the Brave Wilderness legacy alive after all these years of being a cameraman.
Mark made coyote look like a chump. Didnt cry on the floor and held it for 60 seconds. Mark is a beast
Those soldier ants don’t look like no joke, even making mark scream like coyote lmao
Mark is above Coyote that's for sure. Maybe he's not as popular as Coyote and Coyote started this but Mark reaches great heights and can far more withstand all the pain than coyote does. Everyone watching should appreciate this guy.
Coyote overreacted he has for years and it's been proven, and Mark started this too, not just coyote he's been the director of brave wilderness for years since the beginning. And Mario was the biologist.
Jeez, Mark really went full on. Way further than Coyote. This was Crazy! Guess mark's arm can take it after holding a camera all that time.
Coyote is better
@@TerriazeCAPCUTeditor they are equally legends
Mark Vins is an absolute mad lad
You are a legend your one of the bravest man I've ever seen you know the dangers and yet you still went through with it
This video was crazy the whole brave wilderness cast deserves way more subscribers than they have
Coyote would be proud of you for taking the bullet 🐜 sting like a champ
His reaction made me laugh the whole time😹😹
it’s crazy how these videos make me wanna get bit by something on purpose
The crew: Mark are you ok? Mark: (Yelling in agony)
Waiting for Coyote to chime in "you ok, Mark?"
This man could have held them on for 10 seconds and everyone would have been impressed. This man really did a whole minute each😂😂
takes one bullet ant and says its painful then offers to do more bullet ants at the same time. THIS GUY IS A MACHINE
I feel like mark is more honest to what he feels when things sting him
This is true to extents
@@FayDSeafish Bullet ant: sting mark Mark: ooo ahhh that really hurts! Also bullet ant: stings coyote Coyote: *screams like he’s getting murdered and has a seizure*
@@jacobsworld7573 also bullet ant: stings Danny berk Danny berk: *okay it kinda hurts*
@@FayDSeafish yep
BRO COYOTE WASN'T OVERREACTING
Cuts are one thing, stings and vemon is a whole different story and I'm so excited to say that I watch you do these crazy things! :D
It's so cool you could manage to survive all those stings and bites
Coyote: “Are you okay, Mark?” “Does it hurt?”
The amount of hard work and determination and pain they go through is just incredible I love these videos. Thank you for uploading videos.
It also matters of type of gloves he’s using
Holy crap those soldiers are agrressive and strong. They bit him right through the pants and he was bleeding pretty good for only having an ant bite. Not to mention they had some incredible bite force, he was struggling to pry them off.
was a bit surprised seeing mark take over, seeming as I used to watch this channel a while back when mark and mario were the cameramen. pretty cool tho !! hope coyote is doing alright :)
🤣 I have that reaction from a honey bee in just a couple hours. Guess that's what happens when you're highly allergic to stinging insects 🤷🏼♀️
I love how they show their love for nature and all things in it, even to the point of gently pulling the ants off of Mark after collecting the specimens instead of just swatting them off or even crushing them when bitten. They are willing to go through that pain to ensure that the ants are not harmed, even though they are being harmed by the ants. Props to you guys.
I mean there in front of a camera lol
I mean the reason they got stung is because they’re essentially forcing the insect to do it to protect itself. If they killed it, they’d look pretty bad.
These ants out here having the best day ever lol
I like Coyote he’s definitely the OG, that said, Mark is such an awesome performer and entertainer. Great passing of the sting baton Coyote lol
This guy's limbs are gonna be in a museum someday
Haha I hope not for awhile!!
You’re insane dude!!! Leaf cutters looked bad. But 60 seconds of bullet ant venom 😳😳😳
Wow he has so high pain tolerance
It’s actually insane how these soldier ants are able to cut through skin so easily
I think with your bullet ant sting it went straight into your bloodstream like a needle injection, hence the blood instantly coming out when the ant was removed. So unlike getting stung into the muscle which most stings are it was like getting a needle and injecting it into bloodstream making the sting worse than normal.
Don't think that's good at all
Yeah i think he felt a pain a lil bit tho cuz it was in his veins but coyotes is in the muscle i think coyote has the worst sting
He’s got a way better pain tolerance towards the bullet ant sting than Coyote ever did lol
Coyote overreacted he has for years and it's been proven
Lol keep telling yourself that bud
That is so cap
@@FayDSeafish cap tho
@@FayDSeafish he's not overreacting give me proof
Who knew the guy who used to work the camera was as Brave as Coyote all along. Holding that thing on your arm for 60 seconds while it stings the hell out of you is seriously something very few people could do, that's a whole different game then just taking a sting. I would've flipped out at the 30 second mark I reckon.
10:29 he is far too calm yet not that calm 😂
5:55 **so many bites** "That was so bad" 5:58 **bites own arm**
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 this comment made my day
Wow.... I never seen Mark in such pain. Man what a soldier The leaf cutters ants are true cutters. Lol dang
More eager then your mom
Whenever i watch brave wilderness i feel like his a man rn bro takes it to the next level of bites
I'm surprised that the leaf cutter ants let bullet ants that close to their nest and that they aren't raiding each other
😮what o my God 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Personally in my opinion I think coyote should still do videos if he wants to And he and Marc can both make some content to add a lot of variety😊
They should just take turns on getting stung lol
Loving the videos and glad to see the channel live on! My son dreams of meeting y’all he is 7 and stays watching y’all and asks everyday if y’all posted another video. Thank y’all for what you do and love that he gets some education out of it too!
bro the one ant turned your whole arm into a balloon, that's a "no, thanks" for me
Mark making coyote look like a chihuahua with these challenges.
Hey! Chihuahuas are VICIOUS!
i appreciate you guys for doing anything for our entertainment.
This dude grabbed ants biting into him and put them in a jar without squeezing a single one to death! Wtf bro?!?! Who knew Mark was such a G??
Lol😂😂😂😂
Love Mark for keeping the brave wilderness legacy alive💪🏻
Mark is a certified OG
Mark was so entertaining to watch, i laugh so hard while they catching soldier ants, the cameraman hahahahaha
Same lol🤣🤣🤣
Wow!!!….. you guys most definitely take one for the team and for science. No way at all I’d do these. You guys rock!🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤
A meme to make ur day: Mark: Leaf cutter ants are the worst I've experienced. Bullent ant: So you have chosen death.
name a more iconic duo than cyote and mark while taking stings
Nice touch with the crunch sounds while they were biting 🤣
Lmao🤣🤣🤣
Is it me, or does Mark handle pain better than Coyote?😂
I agree. But everyone handles pain differently. To be real though? They're both excellent at it. Most other people wouldn't even dare try this let alone do it willingly.
I always thought coyote exaggerated things for the views
