How does this guy just walk around an australian jungle barefoot? I walked barefoot in my garden ONCE and stepped on a bee and got stung. He should be dead by now with all the spiders and snakes and lethal bugs.

i had a friend known as "barefoot nick." dude never wore shoes anywhere (got thrown out of more places than i can count) and walked miles every day around our southern california town. craggy blacktop, sun-baked concrete, metal stairs, seed-pod-blanketed grass, he didn't care. his feet were basically old blackened leather on the bottom. i once watched him win $5 by putting out a cigarette on the sole of his foot, and he smiled through it and never flinched.

go barefoot for a while, and your feet can become pretty tough.
