Dangers of the Amazon and Uncontacted Tribes

This guy has some prime Amazon stories.

This guy is pretty good at articulating a story and breaking it down as if you’re there.

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.

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.

Beneil Darriush is such an awesome dude

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.

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'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.

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 😂

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!

Absolute old school Joe rogan by day.. Gold, loved it, this is the episodes we all want, excellent guest☮️

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.

By far one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to

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 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.

Honestly, I didn’t think working conditions at Amazon could get worse

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.

Joe ready to learn a language to interview a uncontacted tribe member 😂

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.
