I grew up in phoenix in the 50s and my dad thought us kids well. I thought developers had turned the area near south mountains into golf course. yes the desert can be a harsh place if you hadn’t grew up there. and now I live in the Mojave desert.my home has cati all over,keeps unwanted people away
@Yahwho I think you are an idiot. That guy was a bit schticky but so what...I bet you look really unphotogenic yourself. But now that you say he is an idiot i have to wonder. I also wonder how long you would have survived Cholla Forest without his advice. In fact, let's go down there you and me - we'll make eediots of eech other.
Not true Kim. Everyone in the southwest knows that jumping cactus is not a plant, but an animal, burrowing into your skin to reproduce by "jumping" up to 3 feet to find its next victim. Ok. not true, great video
The ol jumping cholla got me!! 5 days after my "encounter" with this spiney stuff.. my finger got all swollen up and i ended up on antibiotics!! sheese!
Good job,my ex husband thought it was a joke, when he had heard of the jumping cactus he even laughed about it .The last day we were in Tucson desert he wanted a photo out in the desert.The joke was on him the next thing I new he was holding our 2 month old daughter and 1 of the jumping cactus was clinging to the calf of his left leg.I had nothing to use except one of my daughter's clean pamper's, and it worked.I pulled it out of his leg.
Yikes! I was so tense watching this whole thing, with you flailing around between those cacti. I kicked a fallen chunk of one of those once and it embedded in my hiking boot. No further lessons needed. Thanks for posting.
thats just regular cholla not jumping cholla

This video is well-done.
Has anyone else noticed that the host is dressed like Sam Neil's character in Jurassic Park?

Great - except the Chain Fruit Cholla is not the famed Jumping Cactus!! The Teddy Bear Cholla is the hands-down king of the bad guys!
But do give the Chain Fruit Cholla an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor...a well done video, though! Jonathan

I wish I had seen your excellent, informative video and avoided my own Jumping Cholla experience. (I have a video of it.)
