- Mike Drop Podcast Episode 51: Mike Glover - The Fieldcraft Survival Expert - Former Green Beret, CIA Contractor, Owner of Fieldcraft Survival
The inspiration that comes from speaking with real life heroes is impossible to quantify. I continue to be humbled by the caliber of individuals that are willing to share their story with me. In sitting down with former green beret/unit member and owner of Fieldcraft Survival, Mike Glover, I continue to be amazed. After 20 years of service to this country in the highest of capacities, we talk about his experience as tomb guard, green beret, and consummate badass. More importantly, we talk about how those experiences shaped who he is and how he brings that knowledge to your everyday citizen through his company, Fieldcraft Survival.

I can’t wait to dig into this one ☝🏻 I know it’s going to be top notch!
Hell yea dude Glover is badass
I'm on my way over to your pod cast with Mike now because the guy was very intriguing.
@dustin jones this asking for advice that tells me you are probably already doing it. You don't have to harness them all the time man, sometimes you've got to let it out, there is never any shame in that. I wish you the best man, god bless.
dustin jones I went through almost the same situation. Sounds like you’re the glue holding it all together. Just be kind to everyone including your brother, & when look back on this one day, you won’t have any regrets. Do something positive for yourself everyday. Exercise helps so much with depression. I’m praying for you & your family. 🙏
dustin jones Prayers for you young man! Hang in there, I'm sure your father is proud of you. Letting your emotions show doesn't make you any less of a man.
Talk about a guy that's been there and done it! This man has been a part of or close to every major military interdiction in the last 20 yrs absolutely incredible
Golden era
This dude is a great story teller. I could visualize everything with the k9 story.
I have a Bell ma he's best dog I ever had love the story about chewing the leg of terrorist in tunnel
RIP VINNY
Man,the story on the dogs hit me hard. God bless those furry warriors 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike- "if you have to hide to do your job your doing it wrong"
Snipers- "WTF"
"I THINK I BLEW THAT GUY'S LEG OFF" ... savage.
Libs:he had rights
Awesome podcast! Army Ranger, Green Beret, Delta Force, and CIA. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Dont forget hes a tombs guard
Technically he wasn’t a Ranger, he got fucked out of being one
@@Justin_GFM true, he does have the ranger badge, but never deployed cuz of etc..
Glyph Suritos A Ranger tab and a Ranger scroll are two completely different things. The tab is from Ranger school which is a leadership course and the scroll is what you get when you complete RASPS
@@GarrettH-rl7ml I mean I don’t think he’s too worried he became a green beret and delta I think that beats being a ranger by a long shot
It's like an Army/Navy surplus store but with actual content. Great episode.
1:45:49
Mike G: "They gave me an opportunity and I literally said not interested. . . I came here to shoot people in the face."
LMFAO man, Mike G. Is seriously the best!!
He’s 100% talking about David Goggins when he mentions “well known former Navy SEAL and ultra marathon runner” who wasn’t selected for Delta because he wasn’t a team player... surprise surprise
The Kids Nice What?! Before I pull this apart and TIME stamp shit and prove this wrong, please inform me on this more. How did these dots connect?
Shaquille Nuku Huh? The fuck are you bitching about?
1:35:20 is where it starts
1:36:32 is where he answers the question
The Kids Nice You actually are as stupid as I thought. Those “time stamps” doesn’t mean jack shit you clown, I referenced time stamping in the context of when where they are both active in the military you dipshit. I’m still waiting for your “proof” that he is referring to David. I’ll wait,
Oh and please also tell me how your then able to judge his lack of “team” player characteristics enough for you to think you have done better to make a smart ass comment? I’ll also love to hear this reply. However, don’t reply if your going to ridicule him and pick apart interviews to suit your narrative. Guide me to a press release, a referral of someone who says your the team player that is better than David...I’ll wait,
Then also tell me why there is a fucking platoon sized former SEALS team who do ultra marathons and triathlons once a month to raise money for those families who lost their SEALS. Also tell me how out of a platoon size former SEAL team there are 4 who tried for the unit and failed and somehow it’s not them?.... let’s roll fuck wit, like I said I’ll pick you apart here you little grub
Not as romantic as Shawns podcast but this one seems more informative
Mike always has the most detailed podcasts out of the top ones I listen to: Jocko, JRE and now Shawn Ryans
MIKE Is a far better interviewer
Mike is also aided by the fact that he's never met Glover. The lack of a relationship prior enhances his curiosity. Add to that the fact that he's a WORLD CLASS interviewer and it's going to be a treasure trove.
Both were great but this one had far more content
Each serves a different viewpoint. Both are incredible interviewers. Let’s not “compare” them!! Two different dudes two different styles!! RAH 🇺🇸
I've Seen All Of Mike Glover's Interviews On Various Podcasts, And He Always Delivers. Great Episode!
Watched this after Vigilace Elite's interview. Both qualty in both their own way. Motivating AF.
My Tomb Guard brother. Line Six! From Badge #162...
Holy crap! Yesterday I tuned in to Apache Helicopter Pilot Emily's unnerving panoply of her life...I'm thinking how is the particular podcast topped? How can anyone else match the nerve core of her story?
Bang! Mike Glover's enthralling friggin' brutal recollections of time in Afghanistan and Iraq, and in particular his telling of the saga of Vinnie...and the American flag covering the dead Mal's body...Man, oh man...Rudyard Kipling's, The Power of the Dog, first stanza goes like...'There is sorrow enough in the natural way from men and women to fill our day; And when we are certain of sorrow in store, why do always arrange for more? Brothers and Sisters, I bid you aware of giving your heart to a dog to tear.'...so, thank you Mr. Ritland for keeping the genuine pressure on... in this monster podcat.
Absolutely Correct "Warrior Dogs Foundation" "Is Some Noble Shit"
Mike Glover was Delta? I feel like this is the first time I've heard him mention that. Great podcast!
CAG" is what most say instead of Delta
Lord Jello Cheeks I saw your comment on Shawn Ryan’s podcast with Mike about that topic too lol. Do you know if he had a choice to continue on to OTC?
Lord Jello Cheeks Incorrect. He was, in fact, a member of the unit. If you’ve seen pictures of him in his uniform he even has pictures of The Unit patch on his arm. He mentioned going to selection as well.
Lord Jello Cheeks The reason he emphasizes being a Green Beret is because The Unit doesn’t officially exist. He’s most supposed to go around and talk about it. Furthermore , most of his career he was a Green Beret and that’s where his roots are. Guys in The Unit revert back to where they came from when they decide to leave.
Lord Jello Cheeks Incorrect. He did in fact go through the entire selection as he said it. I can link you to the podcast. No one goes to The Unit selection just to pass it and move on. The Unit DOES have an insignia. It’s a black dagger with a red background, which, Mike Glover has worn on his uniform. I’m aware of who those guys are by the way. I didn’t say it was a crime to mention being apart of that unit but notice how they don’t brag or go into much details about it? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Force
Mike, you have a super great memory. Thanks for sharing.
I serve in SIG CO 5TH SFG back in 1975-1981.
While you was doing all that I was born a year later lolol
@@markoneill8188 jajaja
After following Fieldcraft for a while, it's great to hear Glover's nitty gritty. Straight killers, great stuff, thanks men.
Mike Glover is fuckin awesome. His pistol grip video is by far the best one Ive seen. Would love to train with him. Ritland is one cool interviewer. RIP Vinny 🇺🇸. Teared me up as a dog lover and owner of 4 dogs. Unconditional love and loyal to the end. 🇺🇸
There's a video of a tomb guard who gets speared through the foot by a bayonet during rifle inspection and he just barely flinches, then finishes the guard change step for step with his foot oozing blood.
I do feel like Robert O'neil would be a great conversation.
Something about that guy that just doesn't feel right. Don't trust him one bit & I wish I could pinpoint why.
Ritland's intro - always great.
1:23:01 this! Dogs who have zero sense of self preservation are special. RIP Vinny!
How about an interview with Jonny Kim? He must be a incredible SEAL.
Is there anything that guy hasn’t done? His resume is insane
And Remember Kids Don't Do Crack Cocaine True. But I’m guessing they’ll make time for their own as opposed to some other one like jre
@@BostonsF1nest Yeah, I wonder if he has a bucket list? Because if he does, Navy SEAL, doctor and astronaut are pretty damned impressive accomplishments to have. Maybe after he's done being an astronaut, he'll run for office(or go into acting like Dr. Ken Jeong did). The guy can clearly do anything he sets his mind to.
John Trammell jocko had him on.
Great show, glad to see you get some SF guys on your show. I think you having Pat Mac on your show to get more CAG stories out there.
Mike Glover, truly a warrior with a humble demeanor. I am honored to hear his story....
Mike and Mike gets an immediate "like."
*NOTE: Comment By a "F'ing" Cavillian.... Well Ummm Haha. I Thought Mike Glover Was Mike Drop... I came across Mr. Glover UA-cam Videos A Few Months Ago Enjoying His Break-Down Of Gun Fights Then Some How Began Watching Mr. 'Drop's' Pod-Cast Thinking It Was Current Videos of Mr. Glover After Aging A Bit...LOL "My Bad!"
I LOVED hearing about the military working dogs in the podcast! Thank you for sharing. I have a Belgian Mal and it was very excited to hear about what they can do.
Agreed! We don't hear much about this aspect & these dogs don't get half the credit they deserve!
More exposure on how the dogs are effected by PTSD post deployment / service is something that needs touched on! Sadly, many or most of these dogs (I assume) are unable to live normal lives afterwards & what is the contingency plan to deal with this, or is there even one?
True blue tippy tip of the spear dude, chosen for jobs that nobody even knows exist.
I lost 24 marines in Lima company, I know what this brother is going through. Keep this man in your prayers!
You both need to be a Trump adviser.
Well I don't know if it even matters but I think Hilary lost the 2016 due to, in part her or her administration's handling of the Bengazi incident.
You guys are so much fun to listen to. Alot of great information and conversation. Mike, your interviewing is awesome and also............................Epstein didn't kill himself.
Mikes referring to Dave Goggins when talks about the seal who didn’t make the cut for delta selection.
I can't get enough war dog stories.
I think MG is my spirit animal.
As I am on a road trip I couldn’t wait. I had to play it through the Bluetooth and lay the phone down. Man what a hell of a podcast!!!!!! Thank you for the entertainment and helping passing the time on the road!
It's so easy to watch this guy on a podcast and forget that the person talking is literally one of the best killers to ever live.
We are talking about the best of the best of of one of the best fighting forces to ever exist.
I can't even begin to appreciate how difficult it must have been to adjust to retired life
I watched every bit of this interview....absolutely fascinating. What a compelling story Mike.
ABSOLUTELY! The story about Vinnie was touching as fukkk!!!
Great podcast today. I started following Mike after watching him on one of Shawn's podcasts. You are both down to earth and practical and this 2nd amendment supporting grandma is proud to know you are out there!
This was an excellent episode.
Loved This episode. Insane stories, This dude is the real deal.
htothejay MFDFB
Mr. Glover is the fucking man. So is Shawn Ryan. Follow both of their channels. As a dickhead civilian its cool to see your guys' lives connect in some serious way while serving in the military and giving us the inside Intel on life in war. Its Fuckin Gnarly !!! A Must watch Podcast !!!
"that's what he's there for" can I get a moment of silence and a thank you for my MWD's
Mike^"squared" - today's forecast: EXTREME Pleasure
He spoke on having a DET 1 Marine on I have the perfect one for you to have on the show!
Awesome Pod cast, Mike when talking about Benghazi, for you to kept your composure over what the witch failed to do, God Bless You
Incredible podcast. SgtMaj Glover is just so incredibly real, and passing Delta's selection (4 out of 150)...unfucking believable. Wow. A for real badass. Loved what he said about Marines. /s/Scott Adkins, GySgt USMC (ret'd). Keep it up. This is just an awesome podcast. :)
1:43:42 it’s time to get a Det. 1 Marine on the podcast
Yep, i shed a few tears with the dog (Vinny) story! Mans best friend...Up the dogs 👍✊ WOOF
Mike any chance of you getting John Shrek McPhee or Paul Howe
Agreed! Both would be great!!!
How about George Bush? That’d be crazy
Hey I am down with George W, he has balls that clank!!!
@@frankcastle4435 Trump has balls. George W was just better than Al Gore
Amazing interview. Thank you to both of you for all your service and sacrifice 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike your podcasts are superb. I dont know what anyone sees in Joe Rogan who's a crashing bore for me! I am totally appreciative of the professionalism and sharp interviewing that you, Shawn Ryan, Mike Glover, et al--give your audiences. Keep it up! You all are the best!
Damn mike R your passion and love for war dogs really comes out in this interview
"On the fringe of being pulled out of your car and killed, -threat all the time"... Sounds like New Mexico!
I really want to build a network of farms to take care of our veterans and let them help each other coming from the world that's very similar the only people I trust are my brothers
This is your best pod yet man!! Mike is awesome when he tells his story's, I can paint a very good picture!
Absolutely. Mike has a man on his staff that is an amazing interview also & I may be mistaken, but I think his name is Kevin... I can't remember his last name, my apologies!
On guns I do not agree with open carry from a tactical standpoint. I hate it!!!
Excellent interview, with a fascinating guest. Thank you both!
Mike do you take Rico or any of the dogs when you go on the long camping trips?
Leah Landi I couldn't imagine not taking my dog on a trip like that
Holy cow, I'd love to see a Mike and Mike politics part revisited 2021 version. You guys rock and thank you.
Such a well
Spoken dude. Have listened to this a few times now
Rip Vinny!!! Another American K9 hero
Glover Brother, tell it like the FK it is. You are spot on. Thank you for ALL you have done Brother. You are speaking for Many of us!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike you make life better for everyone that listens to these interviews. Keep up the good work brother. George Washington is smiling upon your patriotic work and your amazing guests.
In my opinion the best guest and interview to date. Mike you are such an in incredibly talented interviewer. Every question and answer is just riveting. My second fav guest and interview was Clark Impastato.
Shoutout to Vinny ❤️ I have a German Shepard and I can’t seem to work him enough. As a working breed I’m sure Vinny lived a very fulfilling life. Y’all are American heroes 👍🏼
If this was just the K9 story it would’ve been worth it. Mike should consider writing a book about his experiences. His detail in just the K9 story, felt like I was reading Lone Survivor, or 13 Hours, because I could picture in my mind and feel his account of what happened. Just a awesome podcast.
Land Rover reps must hate this video.....
"Land rovers are absolute pieces of shit, I wish I had a Toyota Landcruiser"....
--- Mike Glover
Would be interested to hear what you all have to say about the newly released CIA whistle-blower outing what actually happened in these tragic events...
Gather Ye Rope.... Semper Fi Thanks GB
Mike Glover, if you were ever to write a book , I think a great title would be "Winchester". great podcast!
Great stuff, good content! Why was the other video deleted? The Benghazi vid....
Amazing podcast. This guy is the real deal.
I took a few days to completely seen this interesting video. It contains so much valuable information it is just awesome. Specially the last hour. Thank you for sharing.
At 1:36:26, Mike is referring to David Goggins
ik i couldn’t believe it
This is easily the best podcast out there.
I love the variety of guests he brings on. Mike Ritland, Joe Budden, and Joe Rogan have the best podcasts no doubt
Great episode! It felt like learning military secrets with units I never knew existed. Mike G has done so much, most folks would consider it an achievement to accomplish a part of his mitary career, just amazing. I heard Mike first on Shawn Ryan's podcast and have been checking out his IG and UA-cam channel. Excellent content. Thanks to both Mikes for your amazing service to our country.
Great show. Last 30 minutes NAILED IT! Good stuff
I love how you refer to us civilians as jackasses and shit heads. Haha. I love this podcast
Mike Glover is one of the men who sharpen the tip of the spear! Great podcast as always Mike!
@mike ritland, just want to thank you for taking the time to put the timestamp in the description. I appreciate it a lot.
Peace & Love from a South Texas Girl. My family has been in Texas for more than 200 years. My 4th Great Grandfather fought in the Civil War. My Father was in the Army. Love you guys and thank you all for your service.
Hey! Ft. Ord, Ca I turned 1yr old there in 1984. Lived there til I was 12, then.moved over to Fl. Joined the Corps later on and went 0311. Anyway, love the podcast.
Thank you Mike and Mike for your sacrifices and service. Awesome interview and information.
Awesome choice of a person to have on the podcast!!! The 2 most badass mikes on the planet!!
Thank you Mike for your positive reinforcement, you will never know how dark of a place you pulled me out of, you say exactly what I need to hear to keep going. Keep doing what you do! And thank you for talking about TBI
Im on here while im watching so theres a good chance theres gonna b a few messages from me... i cant believe the tomb guard topic hasnt ever come up in any of the other videos or interviews ive seen with Mike. Thats awesome.
It does in Shawn Ryan's interview.
I joined the Navy back on 2001 and not gonna lie i knew absolutely nothing about the military. I guess i got lucky and ended up getting stationed at Nas oceana which is a naval Air station which i didn't know even existed. You can strip and wax floors instead of chipping paint on a ship!
I’m so very grateful to both of you for your service and the service of your fellow comrades. This podcast is probably the best I’ve ever listen to, both from an interviewer’s standpoint and from an interviewee.
Thank you both.
I wish my wife would introduce me like that! The top podcast on UA-cam! Thanks Mike
Brit expat here who lives in DFW, fucking mint pod mate. It'd be brilliant if you got on a SBS bloke. Anyway, fucking top drawer content pal. Keep doing you mate.
Mike, I just recently discovered your pod cast. 31 years in State level Law Enforcement and recently retired. Your topics and interviews are greatly appreciated. Great work.
Mike, Love all your podcasts!! Thanks for both your service to our Country. I believe Sen. Tom Cotton has a book out about the Old Guard. Great Story's!
If you've seen Mike Glover's interview with Shawn Ryan, the first 2 or 2 1/2 hours of this one is pretty similar, but this one is easier to follow. Everything from about 2:30:00 on (right before he starts talking about the Texas church shooting) makes this one a MUCH MUCH better interview and podcast.
Yea but even the first 2.5 hours of Mikes are way more detailed... he didn’t get into any specific battles he was in on Shawn’s because Shawn didn’t ask. Both great but I prefer Mikes, Shawn will get there
I respect the fuck out of Glover, dude's a hero and a badass, but he needs to relax with his cockiness about Red Wing. So your guys declined it, cool story, the SEALs that went in planned on a capture/kill undetected until the kill then fight out if need be, knowing there was slim chance of survival. Obviously due to the goat herders that didn't happen. They were attacked by 100+ guys. He can talk all he wants about how they went and "saved/rescued" Luttrell but if that malitia would have been in the same area and not retreated into the other mountains shit would have gone a lot differently. I agree w him its important to speak on the mistakes made so they don't happen again but jeez have some respect. Also glovers team went in with dozens of guys not to mention rangers, marines and more. And act like government officials weren't most likely pushing that mission on them... happens to SEAL teams all the time. Think about the fact there was no air support when predators and others were in the area... Gov didn't want this mission known about. With all that said, I hope those herders ended up wearing their assholes on their foreheads. Thank you for your service gentlemen.
OORAH !! Outstanding interview gents.
So there’s well known devgru guys that have gone too the unit but I’ve never heard of a unit guy going to devgru on a permanent basis. Reasoning for this? Or would it be considered a step back for a unit guy to go to DEVGRU
