    The Mursi have been dubbed the 'most dangerous tribe in the world' but their chief had an instant three-word response when asked why.<\/p>\n

    Living in the Lower Omo Valley in south western Ethiopia, Mursi men are armed with Kalashnikov rifles, drink blood for strength, and scar their own bodies to attract women. <\/p>\n

    Adventurer Mike Corey, set off for the East Africa to find out for himself whether the tribe really is to be feared as dangerous.<\/p>\n

    In his documentary for Fearless and Far, Mike is introduced to Mursi Chief, Olu Chalare who squats with a massive rifle between his legs during conversation. <\/p>\n

    Mike asked Olu why people told him ahead of his trip that he should be scared.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Olu's immediate answer was to ask another question.<\/p>\n

    "Who says this?," he said. <\/p>\n

    Olu was keen to dispel any perceptions of the Mursi being aggressors, instead they are self-policing which he claims requires automatic weapons. <\/p>\n

    For the Mursi Tribe, cattle is currency and defending them from harm is of utmost importance.<\/p>\n

    "We don't cause problems," Olu insisted. "We don't harm others. Among the Mursi there are a few troublemakers. These delinquents go around the forest making trouble. Some Mursi carry guns to protect their cattle.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "We try and fight the hunger and that's why we're growing food. We don't want our cows to be sick. Many, many cattle have died."<\/p>\n

    Walking around the village with assault rifles is not the only demonstration of what it means to be a man in the warrior-led community. <\/p>\n

    To source protein for their own strength and muscle, blokes use the tribe's cattle for a different purpose than simply butchering for steak and mince.<\/p>\n

    Instead they drain safe amounts of blood from a cow, leaving behind a tiny wound to heal. <\/p>\n

    Olu told Mike: "Our boys and men are very strong because we drink blood and milk together."<\/p>\n

    Before trying it out for himself, the adventurer with 2.26m YouTube subscribers watched on in amazement at a Mursi man down over a litre of blood.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "He drinks it faster than I could chug a beer," the self-proclaimed professional adventurer laughed.<\/p>\n

    Despite the blood not tasting like iron to begin with, Mike admits the jelly-like texture has a very strong after taste. <\/p>\n

    Cameras also picked up the men engage in a ritualistic stick fight called donga, in which they pair up for one-on-one battle.<\/p>\n

    The aim of the game? "to beat the living s*** of each other naked" using two-metre long branches, Mike explained. "The winner gets his first pick at a wife" <\/p>\n
