Well this is absolutely terrifying…

Imagine going out for a nice long walk on a local dusty trail only to be mugged by a balaclava-wearing thug brandishing an AK-47. Well, that’s exactly what happened to this unfortunate YouTube user from Mexico. Here’s what rockmoonz90 had to say on YouTube: “I was hiking back to camp from taking pictures when a truck that passed me twice finally stopped and stole my camera and tripod. Warning for hikers in the Ruta Aguajes trails. “I'm glad I was wearing a dark clothing so he did not take my go pro. I have been in contact with the local authorities they said this is not the first time hikers have been robbed in the area.” Jaysus… This video comes just weeks after we posted a different gunpoint robbery that was caught on a GoPro in South Africa.
