- Joe Rogan talks to Ari Shaffir about what he learned from traveling off the grid for 4 months.
Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #972.
The Dalai Lama was once asked what surprised him most about humanity and he said,
"Man.. because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future he does not enjoy the present, the result being that he does not live in the present or the future. He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
I read this years ago and has always stuck with me. You have to enjoy life and put some materialistic goals aside.
Thank you.
"Pass the DMT bruh"
No truer words have ever been spoken. In my case I went down that road to bad health..got so bad I had to quit work..took years to get my health back but I'm now so much better off than before. Now when I go out I see 8 out of 10 people obese I just wanna tell them it doesn't have to be this way.
This is the best quote I have ever read. And i read a lot of self help stuff.
The dalai lama has a net worth of $150 million
leisure, the mother of philosophy.
This may be the simplest statement that's ever made me laugh out loud.
But kind sounds kind of real.
People who go out and have kids and can't afford them are the real fucking idiots.
Wow, 10 hrs w no wifi, very avant garde.
Skip Nasty you say that like every person in the western world isn't obsessed and ruled by the internet etc.
BobbyTMF true but he he said also makes sense...I mean it is just 10 hours
Skip Nasty I couldn’t imagine doing something like that...it’s scary...
Unlimited data lol
“Nobody writes books about the guy that stays in the town he grew up in” - Joe Bro-gan
I did this for 5.5 months in Central and South America.. HANDS DOWN the best thing I've ever done.. came back home to Norway broke af and had to figure shit out here, but totally worth it. If you have the oppurtunity, DO IT!!
If you can build an online income that lifestyle is perfect
Why was it the best thing? Blow jobs are best things.
I work seasonally now, Spring thru Fall, and snowboard all Winter long. Much happier.
Rich Sgarra fuck I wish I could
What job?
@@ToxicatedLum WORK AT NATIONAL PARKS THEY HAVE GREAT SEASONAL JOBS I WORKED AT YELLOWSTONE LAST SUMMER
where at
@@ToxicatedLum Local Conservation District
“Figure out what you wanna do and do more of that “- thanks joe beautifully said
I've been travelling for years. I teach English and inbetween contracts I take a few months off and travel. Feel no desire at all to settle down. The world is too big and interesting to stay in one place for good.
I hope to do exactly that in a few years time. In between contracts, as you travel, what is your living situation? Are hostels the way to go?
I love how Jamie is just an elaborate Google assistant
After months of vacations every summer in Europe...he is exactly on point with the feeling of stress and responsibilities
These guys are toasted lmfao
Ari is so baked he can barely move.
...They are soooo......high!
Shrooms?
+The Plebian
LOL naww, dude. Just weed. If they were on shrooms right now they wouldn't even be in the room, let alone doing a podcast.
Why wouldn't they be doing a podcast on shrooms?
Hahahaha the first few seconds I'm sitting here thinking "geez Joe, fucking spit it out". That thought immediately followed by "oooohhh, they must be stoned".
Kyle Jaynes yeah they are too functional for shrooms.
Can’t be off the grid in a simulation
I like how Joe's level of stoned varies according to his guests.
Canadian here, backpacked New Zealand for 4 months when I was 22, I only met 3 Americans down there in that entire time, and they were all 50-60 year old women going for a short vacation.
Came across hundreds of Europeans of all ages, especially German, French and Scandinavian. Traveling abroad just doesn’t seem like an American thing compared to how it is for other cultures.
True, I went down to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide for a few months and I didn't meet one American.
@@erichaynes7502Americans aren't allowed working holiday visas
I’m 47, 6 years younger than Joe. Maybe I’m just a boring old guy, but traveling as described here never really crossed my mind let alone interested me when I was younger. My thing was traveling within the US to see concerts, and even that was limited. That was enough for me as a younger guy. Nowadays, I’m all about taking my family on road trips. Can’t wait to get back to that once all this corona crap is over with.
Ari looks like he’s wearing the ironman mask.
Must be nice to be able to take 4 months off work and not be homeless
love inallwedo must not be nice to be jealous and spiteful of other people
I did one time right after highschool. Tripped for 4 months everday it was probably the craziest and best time of my life
Kennedy Crevoiserat how did u start like what did u do. If you don’t mind
I travelled through northern and western africa on 3$ a day. Met an Israeli guy travelling with a Belgian passport spending 0.5$ a day. Its all about comfort lvl vs. experience.
A fair comment, but it's pretty easy to do in Asia. I'm a broke musician and pulled off two months in Thailand and Vietnam doing what he did. It's cheap as fuck over there, and if you're an American your $ is strong, so even better!
Joe, you should have somebody on to explain the legality’s and challenges of homesteading in the United States and Canada, what people should look for in purchasing property’s, and how somebody should go about starting to live off the grid with minimum cost.
Love that. Any suggestions?
8:06 Twerking 12 hours a day?
CLUTCH MONTANA made my day
This isn’t for everyone I’ve done it and I much more enjoy the hustle of a city. Working towards a personal business goals and accomplishing them.
To each their own
Awesome they talk about the Appalachian Trail. I spent 5months Thru hiking it in 2015, definitely an incredible experience.
I wish i had the balls to do this !
Ari hit the nail directly on the head. If I cant pay for the things I want or need with the cash in my pocket, I'm not buying. I will never get a mortgage. I'll never get a student loan. Nothing of that sort. I'm 100% self reliant and I want nothing to do with the banking system.
small fishing rod, back pack, takedown .22 rifle and a book ton foraging ..... you can make it joe
He said work on a tugboat in Seattle. Hell's no sir
Very valuable advice, I can't stress enough how important and fun traveling is growing up
Navi not everyone has travelling money though.
we jumped off grid 3 yrs ago to raw land in tents and built our home in cash.... near 5 mo in tents..... I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.... however, the tent thing.....NEVER EVER AGAIN.... knock on wood .... but everyone should take time to unplug And adventure ♡
Like Jules from Pulp Fiction, just walk the Earth :P
FreakyLynx "What you mean walk the earth"
It's not jules that's David carradine, he even says so in the scene
For someone who knows so much Joe constantly plays the "wow, that's crazy"guy.
he souled out
Just a man and his thoughts
4 months, I thought for a second it said 4 years! I'm currently on 1.5 years of backpacking and yeah it does change you, if you're willing to be adventurous, you can learn a lot about life and yourself in the process. I encourage anyone to do it (if you have no kids of course), without a plan and without much money. Go for it.
Nice. I spent 22 years traveling and working overseas.
This is exactly what I want... NO! What I NEED to do! Just go completely NOMAD! Look at fucking Ari. He's all relaxed and just in tune with his whole experience.
MadnessInIsolation he's also stoned to the gills haha
Yeah, he did it for 4 months and came back to the "usual" way of living. He's only stoned so, make sure you realize that.
Same bro. Don't listen to the people that try to make it seem like he's "just high", everyone I know thats travelled like that its changed them for the better.
Just saying. Tons of ppl write about their own city they're living in.
What’s ppl. Are you trying to abbreviate the fucking word people??? Jesus.
I did this for 6 months in south east Asia and Australia the vibes are real
Ari is a cool dude! I like the idea of abandoning my smart phone and modern life for something much more simplistic and rural. Going off-grid has never been easier!
Joe beating around the bush not to say "u looked like a crazy person"
*Overlanding,* might be what they were referring to. That requires a "rig", some sort of vehicle that enables you to camp anywhere you want. You often have solar power, small refrigeration, small kitchen, and other essentials. It's very appealing because you can be with nature at various amounts of time. It seems neat because you can still have a normal home.
Henry Rollins does seem very cool and is often outspoken about much that's wrong with our country. He seemed kind of "piggish" once about women though, I haven't been very interested since. Maybe I was high too when I thought that, lol.
Completely baked lmao
They’re called swags in Australia, and they come with decent mattresses, use mine for everything outdoors, bush parties, camping, sleeping in the car. They are the best thing.
Met a German man in a guesthouse in Thailand who'd been travelling for 10 years only gone back to Germany when his mother fell ill ....I was done after 2 months, no structure was driving me nuts ....
Off the Grid is a stretch. He was a traveler, a modern day gypsy. I actually know a couple who went off grid. Sold everything, bought a crap house in Amish country. No wires at all or connection at all. She's a teacher, rides her bike to the schoolhouse. He works at an Amish saw mill. The house is beautiful now and I think they have a large savings.
Good for him. I see many negative or snarky comments. It's all jealousy. You wish you had the money or the time or both to do what he did. 3 months of only thinking about "what am I going to eat today" sounds like paradise to me. To the haters, quit hating and go get yourself a life.
Good segment. UA-cam search Overlanding and see what some of these folks are doing. Clay and Jeff from Expedition Overland might make an interesting podcast. They just shipped their rigs to South America where later this month they begin an overland trip down the length of South America. They've traveled the length of Central America, traveled up into Canada through the Yukon and Northwest Territories all the way to Tuktoyatuk on the Arctic Ocean and into the vastness of British Columbia in the dead of winter.
I've been traveling and i 1000% identify with him
I live in a TINY country and still fund things that will bewilder me on every trip, yet I've gone abroad to amazing places and had to chase the bewilderment almost (not every time.) It's not down to how long you go for, but what you gain from the time you have done!
Bungle!
Back in the 70s there was a guy who ate almost exclusively caught food using mouse and rat traps to catch rodents just to prove he could do it without buying food. If I had carried a 22 with me in 07 when I did it I don't think I would have had a night without fresh small game the issue with doing that other than legal ones would be not knowing where other hikers are being that you are constantly in new areas.
Joe Rogan should have scooter Tramp Scotty on the show he's the biker Gypsy King
Who are they talking about at the end? Henry Rollins?
7:34- Important Life Lesson...everyone should hear this.
any other australians sitting here like? thats a swag bro
these people are sooooooooo fucking stoned. I'm laughing my as* off right now
I will be retiring to a 40' fifth wheel and will be on the road for the rest of my life. I will be energy independent (in about 20 years I will be 55 years old) and by the time I retire there will be solar panel advancements enough to power my home. I will still go where I can get water hookups, but I will be totally energy independent and will have my own internet/tv ect... I have been saving for about 15 years for this, and will have enough saved for my adventure in about 15 or so years.
Nice... I'm going to do the same, except retire on a boat, probably Portugal
Good luck bruh.
The Pleblian nice choice, let me know I show around
GertPacu Pokemon and how long until suicide
GertPacu Pokemon Let's just hope the government doesn't start taxing people for living in tiny houses, RVs and other vehicles.
Knowing those assholes, they'll find a way to start taxing people for cornering the housing market.
00:40 - "u might be smarter than me now and I wont be able to control u anymore." - Joe
Maybe it's just that Ari isn't that articulate, but this wasn't that profound.
The worst is when you have children. Imagine one day when they grow up and say they don't know their father because he went traveling around the world.
If Joey diaz was there he would just talk shit about how there just fucking hobos dawg😂😂 and I'm on that team! Lol
I wanna see Les Stroud on this show. would shed a lot of light on the ins and outs
Ari looks sooooo good right here 😮💨
This is great and the first 3 min are spot on. I lived in mountains off grid for 3 months in 2018. Now it’s 2019 and I am going back, hopefully this time for 4 months. Peace and quiet, your own thoughts you haven’t heard in years. Last time I went alone, This time I found the perfect girl and she is moving with me :) if any one has questions let me know. @remgray
I like Ari, you know he is honest and never afraid to say his opinion.
Really, I live off wild game every year. Deer, squirrel, and rabbits. I don't buy meat.
Which podcast did Joe tell it´s a world changer? Can someone tell me please?
I could not catch the name...
i lived on a rez for years just off the wild it was so cool to be 1 wit nature
I miss redbans cat and monkey noises I loved it when he would spaz out with the monkey noises
This is cringeworthy
Themooselair how many dumbass replies did you make. Watch your toan farthead
Selton K tone* fart-head
each person can shidt upon you weerdo, not that hard to due
Selton K you cant speak
English
Selton K you are a stupid poor foreigner
Ugh potheads always think they're "deep"
Ronnie Martillo little girls use the word ugh. Next you’ll be like OMG right?
We live in an artificial world
Ari's like an older brother I never had
Very appealing may be an understatement
Where do people find the money to travel for months?
Ari is a funny guy but weird n creepy AF I definitely wouldn't let him babysit my kids lol
Haha same. But honestly. I’m sure he’s a solid dude. Just not particularly with the sole responsibility of a strangers child xD he’s probably just a very analytical person. Which slows/alters stream of consciousness and stuff. Making him sound creepy
And then he puts a drug in his friend's drink without him knowing 😂😂 Da hell mam
You referenced someone's podcast in this video around 8:47, Who are you talking about?
it sounds like he learned nothing
Watch Henry Rollins get interviewed by Nardwaur. Unforgettable
I saw that. Forgot about it.
Old Ari looks like what young Ari shouldve looked like. Young Ari looks like what youd expect Old Ari to look like.
OLD Ari>YOUNG Ari
I am 25 and about to start backpacking across America from Ohio to West Coast if I can't escape my small town by next year.
I’m 24 small town on west coast. Perhaps our loser butts will meet in Texas somewhere
@@actliketonymontana ha maybe
I am one of these tent people, food is low cost, job every once and a while, freedome. The thing is, once you take that step you find what is lost and what we truly need, but at the same time you feel shit for leaving allot behind and not helping the world, but to be from what we truly need is hard, the strength you feel when you live this life is crazy, at home right now, fucking hate it, after Christmas I will be free agine. I hate Christmass too, minimalism is needed.
Help.. what podcast is joe talking about at 8:40
Love your videos Joe, but really? You think theres no way someone could walk the entire Appalachian trail? Theres a man who has been walking coast to coast across America for years. Also I think I could bring enough consumable energy in my bag to last a few months. And if that wouldn't convince you I dare you to bring David Goggins on and tell him its impossible. Haha, take care and keep up the videos!
Just ordered a bivy for my birthday! We're hiking deep into the Oregon woods(we're native oregonians and avid hikers/campers but usually have all the comforts ) in August. Thanks for the info cuz our plan was to DIY hammocks and mosquito netting
Who's channel is this??
I moved to SE Asia for 5 years. I miss it so much. One of my biggest regrets was moving back to the US.
Why is that
@@mauroslife because once you live in outside the US you realize how much more laid back and friendly people are in other countries. At least in my experience, also life in the US is just kinda depressing, thats why mental health is a crisis here.
The Jew should try 4 years next time
I'm sure lots of books have been written about Kant. Then again he did do alot of travelling, just not geographically.
Camping South America? lol I backpacked all thru Latin America for 5 years and never pitched a tent.
They're fucking baked man but damn would love to do what ari did but I'm a broke college student
jobs here and there works and also getting meals off volunteer work is a great idea and also fulfilling. it's definitely doable.
Joe, you and a few buds need to do a 5day thing in the grand canyon.
Check out "Harvey Bouchart"
Id rather try to develop a self sustainable, self governing community of sane people
ohhh my god sounds amazing i need monnnneyyyyyy
Matthew Swan no you don't. Don't let that excuse stop you from achieving something if you really want it. Travel can be done cheaply if you really want it. Good luck.
Wow I lived on 300k in Thailand for 3 months. Collected on my sublease . Crazy brah
That's alot of money
You spent three hundred grand in 3 months?
lol sarcasm
caleb you spent $6000 on beanie babies and build a bear . Also Yer daddy is alarmed at wot you did with his sticky pornography magazeen. Tell him the truth about the gerbal in your heiny
T M C any other kewl new phrases to throw around? OMG remember Triggered snowflake, YOLO so don't be salty. chillax you mad bro?
He went on a fucking holiday.
I wish Joe woul let people talk, instead of inserting his opinion every 5 seconds
Oliver Saul here, don't comment much, first time I believe to you Joe Roman, 1. question, suicide bomber and Kamikaze, is it different?
They both have honor on their minds?
or something like that.
Big fan, always inhale the content, sometimes I cough.
10 hours with no wifi? holy shit thats like a long airplane ride! crazy!
I like Rogan's podcasts most of the time. But, he's been rich for a while now..... same can be said about a lot of his guests. Regular working class slaves WITH FAMILIES cannot just take off on "adventures". Jesus, we can't afford it on the front end, can't afford to be fired for being gone so long and can't abandon family for "time to think", or whatever. Almost as ridiculous as David Goggins talking about stretching for TWO HOURS a day, every day. Ridiculous rich man bullshit. Same as talking about taking off on a whim and staying gone for months or more. Get a fucking clue. Life is hard as fuck and generally SUCKS, then you fucking die. That is reality for most of us.
you should read vagabonding by rolf potts. traveling is way more attainable than people think
Sounds kinda like what life could be more like if we didnt have oligarchs
