I'm an outdoors man. I hunt, fish, and camp, and have done so all over the US and parts of Canada. I know pretty much how to stay safe there, but I would not mess around in the Amazon at all. I have been to Peru, and in the tourist areas of the Amazon, and that was enough for me. I like exploring new things, but i don't have a death wish.
100% feel you. I haven’t been all over the US, but I’ve been thru Washington and Montana and Wyoming hunting and fishing and backpacking. My wife is peruvian so eventually I’m gonna have to go explore the Peruvian amazon wit the fam. Some of her family is really rural and shit out there. I’m very excited but also very wary.
I spent almost a year in the amazon and I only had one time that I was a bit scared. You can kind of gauge how big a caimen is by eye shine and how far apart their eye's are. Once we crossed a very large swamp at night wading up to our waistline. You regularly see caimens eyes looking back at you without thinking much about it, while crossing this swamp we see these 2 eyes looking at us which were soooo much further apart than all the others we had seen, I mean this caimen must have been huge! me and the guy I was with both looked at each other and said we better get out of here....We got to the other side of the swamp and looked at the GPS and realised we was on the wrong side of the swamp and had to cross it again! I was pretty nervous and found myself gripping my machete really tight until I got out the other side. Great memories looking back on it though!
@@Alexxx---101 I appreciate your comment, and your experience. I imagine I would probably do OK in the Amazon, but the unknown is always kinda scary. I have been scared a few times because of bears, and cats, but I always had my firearms to rely on in case anything happened. Not sure I would be able to get permits for that in other countries.
@@saffagooner5763 Yeah I'm getting some BS vibes. Embellishing just a bit. LIke he got lost but there was no jaguar, shit like that. Something nobody can prove
I am from Brazil and used to live in a region near the edge of the Amazon Rainforest, right where the savanna begins. I have always been fascinated by the idea of exploring the dense, lush rainforest, dreaming of embarking on an adventure through its vast, vibrant expanse. In fact i have some experiences in the forest, but wasn't deep inside it, and yooo the amount of snakes i've fount there traumatized me. Nowadays i live in the south, where the nature here is way different!
Honestly one of the best and definitely the most moving guests I think I've heard on rogan. What a guy, can't wait to see what adventures he brings next time.
The part about the MRSA infection is crazy. I cut my hand real bad working, and then re opened the wound about a week later at work and it got infected. Within 12 hours my arm was twice the size from elbow to fingertips. I got to the hospital and within 1.5 hours I was unconscious in the operating room. That shit is nothing to play with. I couldn't imagine developing it on my face in the middle of the Amazon.
I just kinda realized that I have a lot of knowledge that maybe people have no idea about so I wanted to share. 1. Skincare, yes I said skin care, all tribes have their own skincare routine. Since youre a tiny kid they will shave and scrape hair out, frequently, scrape the skin and treat it with a sacred mixture of plants, charcoal, dust and so on. There are many different ways this is done, but it's done in every tribe I've heard of, they will make a ritual to purify the blood, where I see it as some kind of vaccine really, where they will scratch their own skin using bones, stone, charcoal and plants in a sacred mixture which I think it's a way to create the correct immune response by carefully introducing whatever is on the skin into the bloodstream. (Literally do not try this, it is done as a ritual and I don't know what's the secret herbs or ratios they use) 2. Making fire: this I'm not 100% sure but the tribes I have seen also have routines that help them dry they will choose specific wood types that is relatively dry in the middle, the wood hardens even more in a pervious fire and locks the moisture outside. They will whack and clear out plants by cutting and burning until the soil is just earth around the living space, that will make the area dry(er). That will help to keep your body dry also. They are actually very hygienic, and will wash themselves very often every single day, during the hottest time of the day, sweat is kinda oily and lingers in your skin, water just runs down and evaporates. 3. They don't waste a lot of time making clothes, but they know every plant, root and wood and animal part they can use and they will sometimes spend days drying leaves, preparing mats, making rope, creating arrows because it is so vital. 4. For mosquito bites there are a few things that you can do with plants but a lot of it is just pure genetics, my mom is European but I'm mixed: mosquito bites barely affect me but if it itches, you just slap the skin, never scratch with dirty nails. But we also have vampire moths and bigger flies that bite too, those will hurt a lot more. Still slap the skin. Take away: outside of the wilderness people think traditions or some habits as irrelevant or stupid, I have yet to see an Amazonian tradition that is just devoid if purpose, a lot of rituals they do and traditions they have make a lot of sense when you analyze it. Even things seen as decorative might have a health purpose. Who is to say what they are doing isn't helping with health, like paints they use and taking hairs away might help keep them bug free.
@@amandarios448the skincare routines sound like a transdermal delivery of protective and antimicrobials medicinal herbs. Heat , and scarification can enhance that.
When hes describing the wildlife of the Amazon and specifically, learning the eye shines of different animals at night, there just something so resonant about that. I have no experience with such things, but something about hearing his stories, makes me think im missing an important component of what it means to be human. Connecting with nature and the world around you like that is something that i feel we should all experience at least once in our lives. We are so removed from the natural cycles and systems of this planet that we forget how vulnerable we really are as living creatures. Mother nature is indifferent to our existence and that something we need to remember. How many of us would truly be able to survive if society actually collapsed and we had to survive on our own? The cold truth is that most of us would die within weeks-months.
I saw the eye shine in the Arabian desert under the base of mountain covered by the mountains shadow. We was quadbiking at night. Then literally walked away to.smole cigarettes. Thsts when I saw them, just the eyes. It was too dark . Then I heard them . Then I saw 7 more pairs of eyes. We starting running back to.the quads . Looked back as I.drove off and I saw wolves. Who knew the had dessert wolves
Being able to survive by yourself in the wilderness is a very enjoyable thing. When I was a kid, my older brother used to take me to the woods with him to hunt and shit, he taught me a lot about the plants and animals from our region and how to live out there with very basic equipment. I grew older, moved to the city, got a degree and now I have a job as a software engineer and I love anime girls, my standard life depends a lot on the internet and electronics but every once in a while, I go back to the woods to spend a weekend or something by myself, hunting and collecting stuff... It makes me remember that even though modern commodities are great, I don't really need them to keep myself alive and man I swear that's an awesome feeling.
I listened to the whole thing, great episode. He came straight from the jungle when he did this so everything was extremely fresh and he did a great job at articulating that.
That’s pretty much all outdoor activity stories. “It was so thick you couldn’t see a foot ahead of you!” “I swear it was a 6ft catfish” “the bear was right in my face” when In reality, it was just abit thick, the fish was 4ft tops and the bear was 20 yards away
@@alaskansummertime elaborate. You lost respect for Graham Hancock or you lost respect for Joe Rogan? Joe Rogan agrees with Graham Hancock I believe so I’m confused.
I just got back from the jungles of India and I have to say the jungle is still very much awake and alive at night. Elephants are terrifying when they’re disgruntled. At night during the monsoon storms they would make this really loud growl noise and you could hear them smashing trees over. You couldn’t see them, you could only hear them. I’ll never forget the incredible sounds of the jungle at night. It is something everyone should experience once in their lives.
I was fishing a few years ago and I heard footsteps that stopped behind me. I turned around and saw two deer standing about six feet away from me. It's not as scary as a jaguar, but it's amazing how close you can get to wild animals when you're just chilling in nature!
Few weeks ago I was hiking near Malibu Creek State Park on a trail and a mountain lion jumped up onto the trail maybe 150 feet ahead of me. We made eye contact for a couple of seconds and then the mountain lion scaled like a 30 foot rock wall instantly. I almost crapped my pants. He looked back at me when he reached the top of the wall. A couple of weeks after that I read that a mountain lion attacked a kid nearby in Malibu Creek State Park. Crazy.
Not gonna lie, I've watched so many survival type shows that I thought I can easily survive at least a week in the wilderness. I went mushroom hunting with my dad and literally a 5 minute walk off the trail into a bushy forest and I'm absolutely lost. Humbled me real quick
I am a totally different case, I was usually the person who got lost in mall But when my group decided to go on nature walks It turned out i had an amazing sense of direction it was like some primitive sense kicking in.
In the Colombian Amazon this year 3 children (1 child in arms) went lost after a small plane crashed in the middle of the jungle, the pilot, the mother and if I remember correctly an uncle of the children died immediately. The children miraculously survived the crash as they were in the very back of the plane, which suffered less damage. Indigenous people from the area found the crash plane and from there began a historical search with the Colombian military and volunteers. The soldiers were leaving food and messages in the jungle so that the children would have more chances of surviving. The children were missing for 40 days and in the end they were all found alive. These children were born and raised in the jungle, they knew very well how to survive, but still it was a miracle that even the child in arms survived after more than 1 month. There is a lot of speculation regarding this case, it's even say that the children were hiding on purpose from the military since they were afraid that they were guerrillas instead that can also be found in the area. There are many missing parts in this story and i hope in the future they can tell world how they managed to survived, but definitely in the end the most important thing is that they are alive.
I listened to this guy’s entire pod and you can genuinely re-listen and it still feels new because of the myriad of interesting stories and concepts he talks about.
I feel ya bro, when I go to Walmart, I prep by not showering for two weeks and I wear the same clothes everyday. I can usually get in and out without being noticed,...until that receipt checker at the door.
Believe what you will but I'm about ten minutes into the Spotify ep and he already betrayed that he doesn't understand jungle economics from a residents point of view. Maybe it's a Jersey thing🤷♂️
Joe has the best job on the planet. Get really stoned and listen to amazing people talk about amazing things i truly hope he knows how blessed be is. Amazing show
Really enjoyed this. Speaking of Jaguars, one of the bad ass things I have seen is watching a clip of a Jaguar jumping in the water after a Caiman. After many seconds, the Jaguar came out with caiman and dragged it up a 10 foot bank with ease. They are incredibly strong cats.
In fact, they ate the MOST strong cats in the entire world. I know people think that Lions are the strongest, but Lions hunts in groups while Jaguars hunts alone.
Lions are not near the strongest cats pound-for-pound the tiger is the strongest cat on earth. They have enough power in one Paul to smack a grizzly bear's head completely off of its shoulders and they've been shown that they can also do that the Lions when they're put in zoos and it's not a good fit. Have any of y'all seen the jaguars eating the ayahuasca? They turn into like giant kittens and it also gets rid of the parasites in their body it's amazing

@@fight4ourright306 "Wild"? Contracting mrsa, seeing jaguars, bathing in a river in the jungle; These things are "wild." Kidnapping and interrogating an indigenous child for the sake of scientific research? That sounds a lot like history repeating itself. "Maniacal", "predatory", "unethical". These are more apt adjectives
He travels thousands and thousands of miles with MRSA Lesions oozing from all over his body… infecting and hospitalizing other people like, no big deal.
About tribes using monkey calls: in parts of the North Cascade mountains, I've been spooked out of remote places by humans imitating bears or elk sounds. 9/10 turn out to be a creepy-looking, off-grid, dirty, bearded man just trying to remain alone and undisturbed in HIS home turf.
Those guys are definitely mentally disturbed cause civilization and tech evolution didn’t reach to them. So inevitably their psychology is primitive and vile.
Best episode in ages and I'd encourage everyone to listen to the full podcast. The dangers of the Amazon, the harrowing stories etc. are incredible, but it shouldn't overshadow the empathy, dedication and passion this man has for saving the most diverse and vibrant part of our earth. The Amazon needs our help and he really details the ways in which it is under threat and gives us valuable insight into why we should all care about protecting it.
Can i just say. This is what podcasting was and is ment too be. Everyone go listen to the entire pod. Just a show of excellence in what podcasting is all about! Goddamn thriller!
@@Dumbumula111He has the proof to back himself up, he’s out in the jungle fighting fires with the tribes people, and you’re on here hating like a little angry fool
I just came here thank you For this podcast it’s honestly saved my life! Today I reach a month with no alcohol the longest I been over 20 years. Thank you for all the knowledge you give to us. Keep the hard work up.
@@commanderjonson2610 lol, thats exactly what I was thinking. Maybe he really did feel a Jaguar breathe on his face or maybe he felt monkey breath... hell, maybe he had a few to many drinks and mistook his 5 pound kitty-cat for a 500 pound kitty-cat. How would anyone know?
My thing was when he was on about the snakes. People who live in the wild don't have much time to identify potential life or death threats before acting economically. Not really a critique of this guy so much as it seems many people from some urban environs like to attribute superpowers to people in some places that if those same people were their neighbors and looked like most people in their own community, they would despise their existance. But only from a distance.
When i was in the military, in 1987 in Honduras, there was a C-130 that crashed in triple canopy jungle. The angle at which it crashed caused us to take almost 2 weeks to find the site of impact. Out of 150 civilians on board, all perished along with crew, there were only 5 bodies found in the vicinity. The jungle took the rest. Creepy. Bless you all.
I am 82 years old. I have spent the past 20 years in Sub-Saharan Africa in the bush! This "Dude" knows what he is talking about!!! To this day, Westerners are at the pleasure of the "Fern", "Fauna", "Critters" and the goodness of the hearts of the "Locals", whether it be city or bush> Absolutey great show!
At 82. You do not speak at all like a man at 82. You seem to have a well grasp on using technology, also making this all up. Lol nice try bro. You aren't Sir David Attenborough... lol also yeah you would have been out in African bush at 60 years old. That doesn't happen.
I’ve just been mesmerised listening to this. I was walking my dog in a park at night and I was just imagining the anacondas and the cannopy in the sunrise. This Paul is a super cool guy but he is also a fantastic story teller; I could almost see it and feel like I was there. What an incredible path a life he’s driven. Woo! Plus so passionate and what a calling. Best interview I’ve listened in a long time. Thank Joe for inviting him to the podcast. It was awesome. But I can’t believe there was no commentary about Eleanor the anaconda; when I heard she was named after Paul’s grandmother I broke into laughter 😂
Just watched this episode and it has to be one of, if not the, best episode I've listened to. So much crazy information and insane stories. Joe, if you go you have to document it dude!
A gps can last a month easy. You don’t need it running 24/7. You turn it on and off as needed. Also a single portable battery pack, say 20000mah would suffice as backup for the gps. This guys full of shit, anyone with any ounce of sense would have gps, I don’t believe he didn’t.
10:42 i read a book many years ago which was about first hand accounts from someone in contact with a tribe in the amazon. can´t remember the name of the book unfortunately and it was in german anyway, but it spoke about what they do with their old people. it is very simple. as soon as you can not contribute to the collective of the tribe anymore and become a burden, they just leave you behind and you die. sounds very cruel to us but in a society like theirs it is neccessary to survive. the tribe is more important than the individual.
The part about the compass being affected by treesap with iron content is BALONY. This was his best response instead of 'oh yeah, I should take a compass!'
Its amazing how this man explains everything in a way to where someone that totally knows nothing about the amazon, can totallly get it and understand everything hes explaining! Very awesome
I listened to this guy on Alex’s podcast on a long drive. Had me captivated the whole time. I bought his book but it didn’t seem to have the same impact. He’s just a great storyteller.
@@redomega24 oh yeah. I’m not hating on him. I think it’s much harder to be such a captivating speaker than it is to write a good story. It was just that his book didn’t hold my attention as well as his conversation.
The jaguar story was really interesting, growling near my face while sleeping is a true nightmare, This guy needs to film these stuff, it would make an awesome documentary.
I just finished watching the whole podcast. Very interesting I have to say, and it is a real eye opener. Thank you, Joe, for bringing your guest and bless his heart too.
Of course you can, but not if you're standing near an iron deposit for example, which perhaps there's plenty of. Centainly not "literally can't" levels of true, but there you go.
Amazon (the company) should start a program to educate people who want to support the efforts in the rainforests and have a constant presence there to put off potential land clearances and poachers. They could profit from it whilst doing amazing work and even make a show with yearly seasons and a documentary each year. Profiting, creating jobs and supporting the amazing work people do in these places.
I realize that he makes good facts about how dangerous is a Amazon forest really is, and difficult to survive from tribes to dangerous species of animals.
I don't bring GPS with me because batteries die. I won't bring extra batteries or only turn it on when I need it....nope...I won't bring a GPS and just get lost.
Either listen to the whole podcast or when he was on Lex’s so you understand where he lives in the jungle. Also, how does that set off alarm bells when tribes don’t use gps or anything? It can be done.
@@megmc80 it can be done, but his reasoning doesn't make any sense. Indians don't use gps because they don't have one, not because they are impractical or don't work.
I love how he clarified the misuse of panther. Been trying to explain this to people for years. There are tuxedo jaguars as well. Proven by s dutch naturalistic round 2005 when he wss imprisoned in brazil and called a terrorist because he confirmed several species in land to be cut. Was jailed for years and released and banned from brazil.
I seen him on the Lex Fridman podcast a few weeks ago and I was like how tf did Joe not have him on yet and here we are lol crazy timing. Super stoked for this episode.
That whistle he done at 7:50 i have a story about and i'm in freakin Australia as soon as he done it, it gave me instant goose bumps. Me and my buddies were smoking weed one night in the carpark of a local soccer field there was 4 of us so some of us were out of the car just to stretch our legs. This soccer oval is surrounded by bushland that goes on for killometers its a protected nature reserve that has many heritage sites. Anyway blazing away when suddenly in the darkness from what sounded like a decent distance away we heard that whistle, we kind of just blew it off at first thinking we were tripping but suddenly it got louder and louder and was getting closer at stupid speeds and it wasn't just coming from one direction it sounded like it was surrounding us. We all heard it and all dove into the fkn car and got the fk out of there asap. I've talked to friends, some who are aboriginal and they suggested what we heard is what they call a a featherfoot or Kadiatcha. A evil spirit that kills people. Didn't think i'd ever hear that whistle again until i watched this video and now i'm even more confused about what i heard. And no we weren't hearing shit because we were high. We all described the same whistle to each other once we'd gotten tf out of there and tried to explain what we just heard
those were birds man. I just spent last 3 months flying bush in the top end. they only whistle at night. took a while to adjust to because they are super loud especially when you’re trying to sleep and you’ve got an early start
I don't think they were dude, well not any native bird i've ever heard before anyway cant say for sure it wasn't because i have no idea what it was@@adipuppi
There is an extremely moving documentary A invençao di otro, or invention of the other. Where Bruno Pereira interacts with a previously uncontacted tribe to bring back some of their lost members. I had tears rolling down my cheeks seeing how the tribe welcomed the lost members back. How much love they had for each other. Bruno even spoke their language. He was killed by the people scavenging the rainforest.
He’s going for that classic Hollywood ‘hero makes out alive miraculously last minute’ angle. Honestly laughing at every one in the comment section eating his ass not knowing the odds of these stories being 100% fact is very slim.
I already was suspicious by the constant conga-line of Panthers and Jaguars "walking inches by him but he never takes pictures" When he talked about the "magnetic trees" (????) it clicked. That guy is full of BS
I absolutely love listening to this guy, and I'm sure he knows more than I, but as someone who operates in dense unmapped primary rainforests of the Congo I absolutely use GPS and analogue compass for navigating off trail. Id love to know more about Paul's dead reckoning bushcraft.
I feel like I read in some journal or magazine that for a lot of these captured uncontacted villagers, the reason they go "dark" on their memories or history is because that's exactly what it was. They live in the "dark" because coming into contact is what brings consciousness to them and that "consciousness" is a social construct.
One of the best guides I ever had was a young guy born and raised in the jungle. In his late teens he decided to try city life and went to Lima. He got hit by a car while on a motorcycle. Suffered life threatening injuries and has scars and limitations from a compound/complex injury to his arm. He realized the jungle was much safer than Lima traffic so moved back home. One trek we came across very fresh Jaguar tracks One of the group members grumbled about not getting to see the cat. Silverio, our guide cheered him up by saying, no problem he saw us. The same situation holds true with uncontacted people. If you're in their area they did see you. Interesting thought to roll around in your head while trying to sleep.
I’m only 11 minutes in and have learned more about the Amazon in my entire life. Blown away. Will definitely watch this entire episode.
This guy seems like a bullshitter - I can’t put my finger on it but I have watched the whole episode and he gives me BS vibes. Just to clarify I don’t I don’t think he is lying about being in the Amazon but something doesn’t seem completely right about him.
It’s good to know we are here to help, thanks for tuning into the Joe Rogan channel 😊

Honestly one of the best and definitely the most moving guests I think I've heard on rogan.
What a guy, can't wait to see what adventures he brings next time.
Yes let's see what he comes up with next.
Thats a bold statement considering all of the guests i've seen over the last decade but he is a great guest.
What’s his name? I can’t find the episode on Spotify
With my fear of flying, buzzing insects and complete hatred of humidity I knew pretty early on that Amazon jungle is my idea of hell.
I’m sure was not a whole discussion

There are many different ways this is done, but it's done in every tribe I've heard of, they will make a ritual to purify the blood, where I see it as some kind of vaccine really, where they will scratch their own skin using bones, stone, charcoal and plants in a sacred mixture which I think it's a way to create the correct immune response by carefully introducing whatever is on the skin into the bloodstream.

They will whack and clear out plants by cutting and burning until the soil is just earth around the living space, that will make the area dry(er). That will help to keep your body dry also. They are actually very hygienic, and will wash themselves very often every single day, during the hottest time of the day, sweat is kinda oily and lingers in your skin, water just runs down and evaporates.
3. They don't waste a lot of time making clothes, but they know every plant, root and wood and animal part they can use and they will sometimes spend days drying leaves, preparing mats, making rope, creating arrows because it is so vital.
4. For mosquito bites there are a few things that you can do with plants but a lot of it is just pure genetics, my mom is European but I'm mixed: mosquito bites barely affect me but if it itches, you just slap the skin, never scratch with dirty nails. But we also have vampire moths and bigger flies that bite too, those will hurt a lot more. Still slap the skin.
Take away: outside of the wilderness people think traditions or some habits as irrelevant or stupid, I have yet to see an Amazonian tradition that is just devoid if purpose, a lot of rituals they do and traditions they have make a lot of sense when you analyze it. Even things seen as decorative might have a health purpose. Who is to say what they are doing isn't helping with health, like paints they use and taking hairs away might help keep them bug free.

When hes describing the wildlife of the Amazon and specifically, learning the eye shines of different animals at night, there just something so resonant about that. I have no experience with such things, but something about hearing his stories, makes me think im missing an important component of what it means to be human. Connecting with nature and the world around you like that is something that i feel we should all experience at least once in our lives. We are so removed from the natural cycles and systems of this planet that we forget how vulnerable we really are as living creatures. Mother nature is indifferent to our existence and that something we need to remember. How many of us would truly be able to survive if society actually collapsed and we had to survive on our own? The cold truth is that most of us would die within weeks-months.
Well said
I saw the eye shine in the Arabian desert under the base of mountain covered by the mountains shadow.
We was quadbiking at night. Then literally walked away to.smole cigarettes. Thsts when I saw them, just the eyes. It was too dark . Then I heard them . Then I saw 7 more pairs of eyes.
We starting running back to.the quads . Looked back as I.drove off and I saw wolves. Who knew the had dessert wolves
Thats deep yo
Being able to survive by yourself in the wilderness is a very enjoyable thing. When I was a kid, my older brother used to take me to the woods with him to hunt and shit, he taught me a lot about the plants and animals from our region and how to live out there with very basic equipment. I grew older, moved to the city, got a degree and now I have a job as a software engineer and I love anime girls, my standard life depends a lot on the internet and electronics but every once in a while, I go back to the woods to spend a weekend or something by myself, hunting and collecting stuff... It makes me remember that even though modern commodities are great, I don't really need them to keep myself alive and man I swear that's an awesome feeling.
Hes a liar 😂

I just got back from the jungles of India and I have to say the jungle is still very much awake and alive at night. Elephants are terrifying when they’re disgruntled. At night during the monsoon storms they would make this really loud growl noise and you could hear them smashing trees over. You couldn’t see them, you could only hear them. I’ll never forget the incredible sounds of the jungle at night. It is something everyone should experience once in their lives.

I was fishing a few years ago and I heard footsteps that stopped behind me. I turned around and saw two deer standing about six feet away from me. It's not as scary as a jaguar, but it's amazing how close you can get to wild animals when you're just chilling in nature!

Few weeks ago I was hiking near Malibu Creek State Park on a trail and a mountain lion jumped up onto the trail maybe 150 feet ahead of me. We made eye contact for a couple of seconds and then the mountain lion scaled like a 30 foot rock wall instantly. I almost crapped my pants. He looked back at me when he reached the top of the wall. A couple of weeks after that I read that a mountain lion attacked a kid nearby in Malibu Creek State Park. Crazy.

In the Colombian Amazon this year 3 children (1 child in arms) went lost after a small plane crashed in the middle of the jungle, the pilot, the mother and if I remember correctly an uncle of the children died immediately. The children miraculously survived the crash as they were in the very back of the plane, which suffered less damage. Indigenous people from the area found the crash plane and from there began a historical search with the Colombian military and volunteers. The soldiers were leaving food and messages in the jungle so that the children would have more chances of surviving. The children were missing for 40 days and in the end they were all found alive. These children were born and raised in the jungle, they knew very well how to survive, but still it was a miracle that even the child in arms survived after more than 1 month. There is a lot of speculation regarding this case, it's even say that the children were hiding on purpose from the military since they were afraid that they were guerrillas instead that can also be found in the area. There are many missing parts in this story and i hope in the future they can tell world how they managed to survived, but definitely in the end the most important thing is that they are alive.

Really enjoyed this. Speaking of Jaguars, one of the bad ass things I have seen is watching a clip of a Jaguar jumping in the water after a Caiman. After many seconds, the Jaguar came out with caiman and dragged it up a 10 foot bank with ease. They are incredibly strong cats.
In fact, they ate the MOST strong cats in the entire world.
I know people think that Lions are the strongest, but Lions hunts in groups while Jaguars hunts alone.
I also saw one in which the jaguar fought an alligator underwater for several minutes and it was impossible to know who killed who.
Lions are not near the strongest cats pound-for-pound the tiger is the strongest cat on earth. They have enough power in one Paul to smack a grizzly bear's head completely off of its shoulders and they've been shown that they can also do that the Lions when they're put in zoos and it's not a good fit. Have any of y'all seen the jaguars eating the ayahuasca? They turn into like giant kittens and it also gets rid of the parasites in their body it's amazing

This soccer oval is surrounded by bushland that goes on for killometers its a protected nature reserve that has many heritage sites. Anyway blazing away when suddenly in the darkness from what sounded like a decent distance away we heard that whistle, we kind of just blew it off at first thinking we were tripping but suddenly it got louder and louder and was getting closer at stupid speeds and it wasn't just coming from one direction it sounded like it was surrounding us. We all heard it and all dove into the fkn car and got the fk out of there asap.

There is an extremely moving documentary A invençao di otro, or invention of the other. Where Bruno Pereira interacts with a previously uncontacted tribe to bring back some of their lost members. I had tears rolling down my cheeks seeing how the tribe welcomed the lost members back. How much love they had for each other. Bruno even spoke their language. He was killed by the people scavenging the rainforest.
we still arent tired of hearing these embellished perfect timing stories from this guy
He’s going for that classic Hollywood ‘hero makes out alive miraculously last minute’ angle. Honestly laughing at every one in the comment section eating his ass not knowing the odds of these stories being 100% fact is very slim.
At 3:40 he says the last he seen a Jag was 2 yrs ago the at 4:57 he say not that long ago he seen a Jag
"We don't use a compass because some of the iron content in the tree's pull the needle" What compass is this dope using LMAO
That sounded off.
I already was suspicious by the constant conga-line of Panthers and Jaguars "walking inches by him but he never takes pictures"
When he talked about the "magnetic trees" (????) it clicked. That guy is full of BS
Google why
@@Kier4n99 I goggled why they don't take extra gps batteries. no results.

This dude is amazing. He makes so much sense and you can tell he's in tune with nature and respects it.
I absolutely love listening to this guy, and I'm sure he knows more than I, but as someone who operates in dense unmapped primary rainforests of the Congo I absolutely use GPS and analogue compass for navigating off trail. Id love to know more about Paul's dead reckoning bushcraft.
congo?do you know anything about jba fofi?
cap 😂 stop lying paul
I feel like I read in some journal or magazine that for a lot of these captured uncontacted villagers, the reason they go "dark" on their memories or history is because that's exactly what it was. They live in the "dark" because coming into contact is what brings consciousness to them and that "consciousness" is a social construct.
That sounds like some communist gobbledy-gook
Moron😂😂😂
I heard if you throw salt over your shoulder it brings good luck. Do you have an internal dialogue? I've heard that an NPC has no internal dialogue.
That's an insane thought, freaky
@@tanner9072right. Leave it to a democrat to extrapolate idiotic notions from thin air.
Mad respect to the Spanish conquistadors for exploring these areas first.
Can you imagine being on their boat when going down the river and seeing what they saw
I mean actually they avoided those areas lol that's why there are uncontacted tribes in the Amazon
One of the best guides I ever had was a young guy born and raised in the jungle. In his late teens he decided to try city life and went to Lima. He got hit by a car while on a motorcycle. Suffered life threatening injuries and has scars and limitations from a compound/complex injury to his arm. He realized the jungle was much safer than Lima traffic so moved back home. One trek we came across very fresh Jaguar tracks One of the group members grumbled about not getting to see the cat. Silverio, our guide cheered him up by saying, no problem he saw us. The same situation holds true with uncontacted people. If you're in their area they did see you. Interesting thought to roll around in your head while trying to sleep.
If he only knew how to use a compass, I would honestly think twice before going in a trail with this guy
None of you weirdos in the comments listen or look into whos speaking. Your hate for Joe clouds everything its really weird
@@ghagzor ? hes literally stupid and doesnt know how to use a compass lmao
The trees make the compass malfunction. Watch the damn video, doofus 😂
This is so impactful, this guy is super inspirational. I listened to the podcast twice, I’d love to donate and help. 💜
do it
So glad he finally got on JWRE. Love every story he tells.
He's been on before
What does the "W" represent, in JWRE?
