On this episode of Breaking Trail, Coyote and the crew are in one of the most remote stretches of wilderness in all of Japan… and they come across none other than the Japanese GIANT Hornet! This creature injects venom in such a high dosage that it can destroy tissue and attack the nervous system of its victim. Will Coyote be able to stand the pain as he finds out just how nightmarish this hornet’s sting really is?

Get ready, you’re about to see Coyote enter the Sting Zone yet again… and get STUNG by a Japanese GIANT HORNET!

Breaking Trail leaves the map behind and follows adventurer and animal expert Coyote Peterson and his crew as they encounter a variety of wildlife in the most amazing environments on the planet!

    No thanks on letting a giant hornet sting me for no apparent good reason. I almost thought he was going to fall off the cliff until his buddy reminded him as such. I was bit on the back of my hand by a black fly in the province of Quebec 25 years ago and let me tell you it was quite painful and swollen for many days after. I was told by a local that I should have gone to the hospital. Fishing and consuming large quantities of alcohol was my medicine for the pain!

      You must have been allergic to the bite. Normally black fly bites are like mosquito bites except you don’t notice it until some time after and you find you are bleeding and itchy at the spot. Unless the “black fly” you are referring to is not the same thing as the black flies of Ontario – small little “black flies”. They actually “chew” a small hole in your skin around soft places like near the eyes, hair line, behind the ears and fly together in “cloud” formation.

    Steven B that’s what the local fellow told me I was bitten by. Now wether he was right or wrong I’m not sure. All I know is as the days went by my hand got very swollen and hurt like hell! I suspect I may have had an allergic reaction.

    The “strange lights” I saw a across the lake a few times are at the end of a long gravel road. After seeing the lights, I was determined to set out (during the day) and check out the spot. We arrive (thank God I have friends as dumb as I) and we park at the end of the road. I was set to investigate when a swarm of huge hornets /bees started attacking the car…..that was it….I haven’t been back yet lol. I will dive under furniture if something Buzz’s by me- quite the shit show lol.

    It’s one thing to put yourself into a dangerous environment and perhaps accidentally getting stung by a harmful insect. It’s just stupid to go seeking such an encounter.

    Years ago I was at a music festival at a private campground with a lot of people I knew. The final morning we were breaking down camp when I saw this “guy” walking toward our group. I didn’t recognize him. He looked just like the guy off the old Cher movie ‘Mask’.

    Then he got close enough to ask if we had any benadryl and I realized it was a guy I had known for years. he had been stung by one of those giant hornets in the side of his head. We called 911 and he got to the hospital and treated and lived. It was horrible. I’ve never seen anybody swell like that.

    I don’t think this guy was allergic to the bite. Bee stings are supposed to hurt and swell like crazy. I don’t mind so much seeing him let insects bite, just so lang as he doesn’t become interested in snakes. I do admire his courage.
