i’ve lived in mountainous regions my entire life, we have deer and mountain lions. learning the “eye shines” is so impeccably important to your safety. i’ve had a few encounters with cougars and the only way i’ve been able to distinguish them is through there eyes. very important skill.
@@alexanderwindh4830 In the mountains where I live, dealing with both deer and mountain lions is part of life. Knowing the difference between their 'eye shines' is a crucial safety skill. When it's dark, and all you see are glowing eyes, being able to tell if it's a harmless deer or a potentially dangerous cougar is a big deal. The way the eyes shine is different for each, and it's the only way I've been able to distinguish them in the wild. It's not fancy, but it's a skill that can make all the difference when you're out there.
@@harrygreb3457thank you, dude went into an explanation on eye shine and then failed to mention which one is a harmless fear or which one is a cougar.
@@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'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.
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.

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.
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.

@@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.
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.
Im brazilian from São Paulo, i went to the Amazon for 2 times for fishing. I met a biologist who told me 5 things: - Never sleep on the ground, only on a tree or something. - Never swim at night. - Light a campfire, it keeps big animals away. - Beware of wasps, they dont stop chasing. - NEVER pee inside water, candiru fish is evil as hell
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.
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 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 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!
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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🤷♂️
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!
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.
"We dont know what they do with their old people" I read the book Sapiens and one chapter was a translation of a tribesmans account of their way of life. He said when people got too sick or old that one of the young men would kill them outside the view of the others. It was sort of a taboo that no one spoke about but it was understood as necessary. The women and elderly were nonetheless in constant fear of the young guys. A lot of other stuff was interesting in that chapter. He said it was a tough life and that no one ever got a good nights sleep 🤔
I 100 percent can understand how the jungle could swallow you. I've gotten turned around in the wilderness, even in places that didn't seem that thick. Never got completely lost, but I've never gone very far out.
For some reason I’m skeptical that trees mess up with the ANY compass to point it is unusable. The way this guy tells his stories seems like he is making things up as he speaks. I just can’t believe one can’t get a high powered GPS and a compass with the tech we currently have to navigate the Amazon. When he says apparently the trees messes up the compass it sounds like he tried using the first compass he had laying around, it didn’t work and just called it a day.
The reason he doesn't use a compass is because he doesn't know how. His quals don't really extend much further than having a passport and cab fare to JFK.
@@dominysynclairI mean, if he's been out there multiple times for weeks at a time he's immediately more qualified than 99.9% of the people on the planet.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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 😂
This is one of the most interesting guests I've heard in a while! I was truly locked in the whole podcast (which is rare with my short attention span) 😂
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 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.
I gotta say I’ve been living in the PNW without air conditioning and I’ve started gardening I’ve been going on hour or two walks a day. I am still in a super urban environment and I am learning how to code for games I am at the pinical of human technology but these simple acts of tending to plants, exploring my local area and every day feeling the weather and the days heat up to 90 degrees without air con has been great for me. Even just a step back from living in the peak of modernity has been amazing for my mental health. I plan to be an urban gardener to give food and experience to my local community.
I get lost a lot. Joe: Do you bring a compass, map, or GPS? Naw man, it's the trees, I'm definitely better off without all that equipment and finding my own way. Joe: But you do still get lost, and fairly often? Yeah man, but it's like the blair witch jungle mannnnn, i DEFINITELY know what I'm doing! 😂 Dudes a clown! Wtf is this?
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 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.
This guy has some prime Amazon stories.

Ok😂😭
Very well spoken man! Felt like I was there when he was telling his story! Class!
This guy has great stories, and I'm sure they all happened but I can't help but feel they're 50% true and 50% exaggeration.
Pro tip: Joe is out to get views not be truthful about anything. Graham Hancock has pretty much destroyed any respect I had for him.
He's from department strong stories but yeah, they are great!
@@alaskansummertimeExplain
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.
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
Im brazilian from São Paulo, i went to the Amazon for 2 times for fishing.
I met a biologist who told me 5 things:
- Never sleep on the ground, only on a tree or something.
- Never swim at night.
- Light a campfire, it keeps big animals away.
- Beware of wasps, they dont stop chasing.
- NEVER pee inside water, candiru fish is evil as hell
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.
😂
lmao
The iron content in the shelves makes compasses basically worthless....and GPS batteries will die before you can get to the electronics section.
Is this supposed to be funny
@@cdula26I'm laughing.
I love how Joe whispers while watching the jaguar clip as if they are in person watching from a bush somewhere trying not to spook it 😂
Careful it might get you lol
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.
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!
Past 20 yrs?. That means you were in your 60's being a bush man. Hmm
@@psychshiftnot impossible, not even that improbable.
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.
- Are we lost ?
- No, it's the iron in the the trees jamming the compass...
- So, we're lost...
- Yeah... we lost...
Sounds like Sherlock talking to Watson.
Watson you idiot
Paul: *Tells harrowing story of a jaguar*
Not troll Jamie: *Pulls up the cutest, least-threatening picture of a jaguar on the interwebs*
Regardless, everyone that lives anywhere near them in South America knows they are silent, instant death.
I had to watch again just for that pic. Lol
Actually a leopard he showed
@@crashthecatyeah.. dude has some interesting lies😂😂
Are you Autistic?
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!
Bad ass
Joe and Jamie, thanks for this podcasts. One of the greatest this year 👌
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
This whole podcast was the definition of " Trust me bro " 😂
I know right, just take one picture of a jaguar...
The guy was literally "oh shit, why haven't I been using a damn compass?" Hilarious!
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.
@@angelikapotree2741 I just have a terrible sense of direction, I get lost in malls all the time

What a revelation
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.
What is a child in arms?
@@ulrichenevoldsen8371a baby
@@ulrichenevoldsen8371 hehehe sorry for my bad english, i refer to a baby, a toddler.
Honestly, Children that were born and raised in the jungle were more likely to survive than an adult from modernity.

@@KT_UnflilteredSpotify and its number #2013
By far one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to
Unbelievable interview and delivery!
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!
6:47 the way Joe appreciates the animal is sweet, cant wait to see him invite it on podcast

" I bet the meat on that thing is delicious " - Joe Rogan Probably
This man said you can't use a compass in the jungle😂😂😂😂 and Joe gave zero pushback
u literally cant tho look it up
Seems true if u google it m8
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.
I hope Paul gets the funding he needs from this exposure! I have followed him for about 15 years now and he is the real deal!
What's his socials
Never heard of him until today. And some shorts came up of him telling stories. I’m hooked, the guy is so interesting and fuck me he can tell a story!
Thank you for revitalizing my own energy to reforest a few overgrazed acres of my family’s homestead. Much more planting work to be done this winter!
Knowing a guy who kidnapped a kid from an uncontacted tribe in the amazon is insane

did you come up with that all by yourself?
I AM SO PUMPED THAT YOU HAD HIM ON THE SHOW! Cannot wait to watch the whole thing!
One of my favorite speakers. Everything he says is important, profound, and insightful. He is in connection.
Great story teller 🙌🔥
He is so nice and chilled on this podcasts you can almost forget his kicks are deadly weapons.
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.
As a hunter and fishermen that rang every bs alarm I have.
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.
@@megmc80 lmao, you are def this guys dem audience.
But the tribes don’t get lost.... or have gps available, I’m sure this guy can get a GPS if he can get to this podcast
Great episode i watched the full one on Spotify....
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.
Where is the full podcast? I can't find it

Finally! This dude was amazing on the Lex Fridman podcast, highly recommend listening to these episodes. Crazy stories from the Amazon and more.
My favorite quote from this clip was “…I was staying in the jungle to take care of an anteater”
😂 😅
WHAT A FUCKING DWEEB!
This guy is a farce. He contradicts himself.
Lying clout chaser as are most these wannabe modern Indiana Jones types
He was one of Lex Friedman's best guests. One of my favorite podcast episodes of all time.
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🤷♂️
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!
He’s done a podcast with Lex Fridman too

I call bs on the iron content in the trees messing up a compass. And GPS runs out of batteries.
He tells a good story.
Don't think I can believe that Jaguar story either
You think gps just has unlimited battery?🔋
or just look it up... its true lmfao
"We dont know what they do with their old people"
I read the book Sapiens and one chapter was a translation of a tribesmans account of their way of life. He said when people got too sick or old that one of the young men would kill them outside the view of the others. It was sort of a taboo that no one spoke about but it was understood as necessary. The women and elderly were nonetheless in constant fear of the young guys. A lot of other stuff was interesting in that chapter. He said it was a tough life and that no one ever got a good nights sleep 🤔
Absolutely amazing stories. The awe of being in the presence of such beautiful animals. The appreciation for the Amazon; there’s just no words. Wow
Miss pods like this!!!! Classic JRE episode. Paul you were phenomenal!!! Paul you should do a podcast in the rainforest 😂
Need more of this
I 100 percent can understand how the jungle could swallow you. I've gotten turned around in the wilderness, even in places that didn't seem that thick. Never got completely lost, but I've never gone very far out.
This dude is super proud of himself.
Sometimes I feel like people elaborate on storys based off what joe and his viewers wanna hear
What a guy! And a awesome story teller
For some reason I’m skeptical that trees mess up with the ANY compass to point it is unusable. The way this guy tells his stories seems like he is making things up as he speaks. I just can’t believe one can’t get a high powered GPS and a compass with the tech we currently have to navigate the Amazon. When he says apparently the trees messes up the compass it sounds like he tried using the first compass he had laying around, it didn’t work and just called it a day.
He could be a bigfoot hunter. They don't take pictures either.
Wait his reason for not using a compass isn’t good enough. Lol
The reason he doesn't use a compass is because he doesn't know how. His quals don't really extend much further than having a passport and cab fare to JFK.
@@dominysynclairI mean, if he's been out there multiple times for weeks at a time he's immediately more qualified than 99.9% of the people on the planet.
@@Chopstorm. It doesn't mean he qualified, it means he's lucky.
@@dominysynclairYou put way too much value in a degree.
@@Chopstorm. I presume your referring to college degrees. Can you explain to me what college degrees have to do with learning how to navigate?
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
the way he's breaking down what happened, very awesome😂😂
Been hoping Joe would have this guy on his show, brilliant 👌
I’m so glad Paul got on JRE. Always thought he’d be a perfect interview with Joe.
Nothn like a story about a jaguar no-one can vouch for.
Me too bro
@@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.
I had a coyote come sniff me while sleeping on my deck one time, scared me shitless so I totally don't discount that happened
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
“We don’t use gps because they run out of batteries”
So bring more batteries, G.
I wouldn’t let this dude guide me through an IKEA.
Bro thinks it's exchangeable batteries.
Batteries are heavy. Solar chargin is difficult due to the thick trees.
@@fight4ourright306 yeah a pack of AA lithiums has to way a couple of ounces...
My garmin lasts days on two AAs.
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.
Joe: So you said these uncontacted tribes communicate in monkey calls?"
Lefty lunatic: "Cancelled".
Amazing story teller.
Captured a child from the uncontacted. Isn’t that kidnapping? Why is that guy not in jail?
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 😂

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.
Being a great storyteller sells books lol. It was a fun podcast though
@@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.
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 😂
Love Pauls Amazon stories
I gotta say I’ve been living in the PNW without air conditioning and I’ve started gardening I’ve been going on hour or two walks a day. I am still in a super urban environment and I am learning how to code for games I am at the pinical of human technology but these simple acts of tending to plants, exploring my local area and every day feeling the weather and the days heat up to 90 degrees without air con has been great for me. Even just a step back from living in the peak of modernity has been amazing for my mental health. I plan to be an urban gardener to give food and experience to my local community.
🍪
I get lost a lot.
Joe: Do you bring a compass, map, or GPS?
Naw man, it's the trees, I'm definitely better off without all that equipment and finding my own way.
Joe: But you do still get lost, and fairly often?
Yeah man, but it's like the blair witch jungle mannnnn, i DEFINITELY know what I'm doing!
😂 Dudes a clown! Wtf is this?
