A true survivalist always has his mom on speed dial!

This is one of the coolest podcasts I’ve listened to in a while, dude has some wildly interesting stories and experiences

This guy is awesome. To know you can be dropped off in the middle of the amazon and survive is a superpower. If everything goes to shit, at least this guy knows he can chill in the jungle until it all calms down.

So nice to have someone on who's not talking about AI or aliens! So many other interesting topics out there. :)

This guy is a great storyteller

So symbolic that he was there to raise an animal and help it in the wild, couldn’t make it himself, and had to be saved by humans participating in the destruction he is fighting. That’s some deep shit

On the bot flies thing there’s a easy solution we use on south of Brazil which is a somewhat dried up chunk of pig’s fat. You put on where the bot flies or any other time of maggots made into any flesh , the larvae will go crazy eating all the fat and it comes out very easily.

Can see that this guys experience has made him into a real man.. well done mate. You have experienced life to a point only very few will.

Alright but I swear lex farted at the beginning of this video

as someone who grew up in the north , i have no interest in going to the jungle . so this is as close as ill get. thanks for a great interview.

Their conversation follows an interesting pattern: Lex: "Was it dangerous?" Paul: "Not really" ....continues with a story of almost dying

The fact they didn't stop him at the airport with that infection is concerning.

Growing up far from the Amazon in São Paulo, Brazil, my sister and I each found a botfly in our skin on separate occasions. Not that differently from how Paul’s friends get rid of them, my mother helped us out with dry tobacco leaves soaked in an iodine-and-alcohol solution to remove them from where they were lodged.

A dude cutting callus off the bottom of his foot with a machete, to use as bait to catch food is pretty badass.

0:07 - are we really gonna ignore that amazing fart?

Holy moley this guy is living on the sharpest razors edge,He is a brilliant story teller must read his books,I salute you !

I have absolutely ZERO interest in going anywhere near the Amazon…EVER.

interesting sound effects 🤔

Kind of ironic he was saved by the people he's trying to save the jungle from

He is so right about the bugs in tropics vs summer up north.

WOW!!! This guy is AMAZING! Every one of his stories contains more knowledge of life than most people will achieve in a lifetime!

wow I really enjoyed this conversation!!

this guy is my favourite guest you've had on. I love this shit.

Wow. I love his podcasts

I imagine the dark irony of being saved by a boat filled with poached animals was not lost on him. I imagine it probably gave him the resolve and the mental strength to survive the infection so that he could continue on and keep helping animals. Just a thought 🤷🏻‍♀️

"How to survive in the Amazon jungle" Shows picture of him drinking directly from a river. "That'll do pig"

"You've got a friend in me" - me to the botfly

Always wondered what Serj did after System of a Down

This video was amazing to watch.

0:08 My man just straight up tooted

This guy could be describing an adventure where he was stranded on a different planet, met a race of helpful sentient creatures and attempted to raise and rescue an alien dog and it would be no different than him going to the jungle.

This entire podcast is one of my favorites.

You two could just have your own show together and Id watch every time. It is fascinating

Just found this guy from JRE. He's an amazing storyteller

Just discovered this channel and subbed.

A true man’s man risking life for the sake of exploration. I can only imagine the trill !! Damn I’m jealous

Lex farted and kept his professionalism... This mans a legend. 😂

I want to see Lex on survivor

Every time I tune in to a Lex Fridman interview, all that I knew beforehand goes into the trash and I gotta start all over again. You know what I mean, the world is a better place with Lex Fridman being here. Paul Rosolie shows us the true meaning of destiny: Something is written somewhere about how long we have to live...

I think we need to see an interview with "JJ" next!

Id have to disagree about the mosquitos in the jungle, i was deep in the jungle doing a trek and i had full length bottoms and top with a motorbike snug for my face and those fuckers were eating me theough it. It was unreal, however in the citys i didn't witness much at all

Stories so amazing they don’t even sound real…………seriously.

I wish I had a friend like this in my life

Paul is the most interesting guest 😊

Infections deep in the jungle are no joke!

It was interesting that the host brought the conversation back to Lulu. There was so much more story to be told about her.

Gotta meet this JJ fella

This is the kind of guy we need during a first contact

2:02 he saved himself from the biggest PAUSE imaginable 🤣🤣🤣

As a Finnish person I find it absolutely hilarious that this guy who has been in nearly every jungle and wild place on the planet still brings up Lapland when talking about mosquitos 😂😂😂 That place has biblical levels of swarms of insects

Fascinating stuff....

Did he just shart 7 seconds into this??

I think the best way to survive the jungle is to just watch it on my phone

Perfect time for me while I’m playing Green Hell!

Trying to eat while he is describing those flies is almost imposable. I persevered.

Why does this sound so attractive? I live in a small city in New Zealand, quite close to nature. However, this sounds like happiness... I have never been happy, yet this just sounds like a pure, natural, bliss ❤

What are the natural tree medicines he mentioned around 7:50?

incredible fart at the start of the CLIP? Bravo, great ice breaker.

Need to do “How to survive in an Amazon fulfillment center.” Those scary ass places!

On the plane I bet he looked like patient zero from the movie outbreak.

lex fridman is hilarious with his robot like questions lol hes definetly a different type of person

You should bring JJ 😂 the dudes a badass master survivalist

Dryer lint weighs almost nothing and is very flammable.

How to survive the Amazons: Step 01: Don't go to the Amazons! Step 02: Remember Step 01!!!

"He's got all the cheat codes." 😎 Love it

That fart in the beginning lol

10:53 I was just thinking in my head that is there more mosquitoes than here in Finland but he answered my question pretty quickly

3:16 Lex did not miss his calling in medicine🤣

THERE'S A FART AT 0:08🤣🤣

Everclear instead of diesel then you still have some sort of antiseptic properties?

How to survive in the Amazon... don't go to the Amazon

Boggles my mind how well Lex can feign empathy.

How has nobody mentioned that our BOI ripped major ass right at the start? 😂 I'm dead.

Biggest obstacles: 1, Shelter 2, Food 3, Bacteria 4, Humans (natives)

The problem with those clips is that you don't know who the hell JJ is

Stores like this make you think about the Conquistadors in what they might have experienced back in the days of the truly Wildland

Funny, that he says that he could not light firs or catch fish. I worked and lived in the Amazon jungle when I was 18 and I made fires. We used plastic bags or strips of rubber to get the first flames and use it to get the wood fire going. I also had to find and catch my own food. There where berries on the ground from 200 feet trees, birds to shoot with a slingshot and fish to catch with all kinds of traps we made or we scooped them up with a large straw hat. I even caught small fish with plastic bags to later catch piranha with. If there is a patch or grass in the water there will be shrimps' there that you can also catch with a hat. I can go on. Its just key to watch the Indians and locals and learn and after a while you can survive. But I must say, that my time in the jungle was not as romantic as people think. I was not always hungry, but still I felt like an animal, often craving for better food. I could be a jungle guide, and maybe I will be one day after I raised my kid ( 42 years old now and living in Europe ).

How to survive. D'ont go there.

Lex talks to each guest as if they’re a previous version of himself he’s lived

Cool story. Now where's the part about survival?

Anyone know the name of the jacket my Amazonian friend is wearing here?

9:30 “how do you get [botflies] out?” “You have to come.” 😅

I wanna go on a expedition with Paul or to Amazon in general someone show me the ropes I’m already pretty good in the woods

Need this man so bad

This video is exactly the same as the other clip you uploaded!

Bro lex ripped one and didn’t miss a beat

Few things people don't realize about the jungle, when I say jungle I mean the heart of the jungle, no town around. The jungle isn't flat, there are mountains in many areas; You can't complete 3 steps, the bush is too dense; A jaguar can take your life any moment, and sometimes you gona wish he does it.

There is a tree called a Copal. Some call it a locust. It drops this crazy evergreen type sap that hardens into a frosted looking piece that looks like amber. If you can get a piece of that sap burning it will help keep a fire. I have made a fire in Guyana. But didn't keep it more than a few hours till it started raining. The Indians do know how to cook with a regular fire by the river side. I don't know how they do it during the wet season. You can split standing dead wood and make shavings from the inner core to get the driest wood possible.

My friend is a shaman and has to go into the jungle to train and he didn’t experience this but he has some stories to.

Funny how the anteater story changes

this is so fucking crazy... I'm a very outdoors person but I'm tapping out long before this dude

You can find bait. Palm grubs are not too hard to find. They have a saying ....catch a small fish to catch a big fish. You have 5o have a small wire leader to keep the piranha from cutting your lines.

“You got a friend in me, you got a friend in me”

Paul mentioned in one of the videos I saw that the Indians in the Amazon have a very good working way to heal a broken bone. Does anyone know more details about that ? I broke my arm a week ago, so ...

This JJ guy sounds like the ultimate survivalist

As fascinating, interesting and cool as this guy's stories are, remind me to never go into the Amazon. 😅

Das the most badassery I ever heard!

Ya dude that’s gnarly

Now I must watch a bot fly removal video
