In this episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I spoke to explorer, adventurer and public speaker, Davey Du Plessis. Two months into a solo source to sea navigation of the Amazon river Davey was ambushed and shot 4 times within the isolated jungles of Peru. The adventure turned into an intense moment to moment struggle to survive as he made his way, wounded, through the dense jungle, seeking rescue and safety.

@JNB520 Год назад

You have really amazing guests on your show. I can't believe this man's journey, its incredible, you can't make stories like this up, it's so crazy, and the ppl who helped him, were they angels? This one was intense Also, welcome to the US!

@izindawo8363 Год назад

Amazing episode, amazing guest. Did wanted him to just talk and finish his story of how he got shot, because some questions interrupted the story. I was so into it! I was like: Aah Josh, just let him talk!!! Also, he is the guest so let him share info. Don't fill in the quiet spaces for him. Give him a chance. Not meant in a negative way. I very much enjoy your work, just a thought.

@darrenhanes4822 Год назад

Josh keep it up bro it's not hard to see your going places

@midnightdreams8136 Год назад

I feel it's a bit sad and strange he couldn't at least re-pay them somehow. The absolute minimum would be to pay for all the gas they have spent because after all they really saved his life!! I know he mentioned the logistics, but they got to the hospital *somehow* so of course he could have bought them food or gas and they could have transported it back on the same ship.

@ashlenephilander5360 9 месяцев назад

Agreed, amazing story but lack of gratitude to those communities who helped was also interested to hear more about SAB and their role in saving his life.

I've done the Amazone River on a boat back and forward from French Guyana to Manaus and back for 6 months back in 2004. I would see kids coming from nowhere at 06:00am in tiny canoes asking for food. The boat was white and every morning the deck would be full of stange creatures like grasshopper 6 inches long etc. I don't even want to imagine been by myself hurt in there.

@wittepanther Год назад

I'm at minute 47 right now but need to go now. Maybe it's discussed later but I wonder if the guy has done anything afterwards for the people that saved him. Can imaging that starting a go fund me with this story will raise a lot of money to help these communities.

@Shefeeled69 Год назад

No he is too focused on pushing his company to even think about giving back to the people that saved his life. Really pathetic, sad individual.

@donvee2000 Год назад

@nlocnil3602 Год назад

The scary thing here is the fact that you will never know the gunmen's motives and why they would just opt to shoot dead a random stranger. Even if the motive was robbery, the callousness of the act and willingness to kill instead of just threatening and robbing. Its like being hunted by a predator and you don't know it until its too late.

@BentleyBohemian_96 Год назад

Well the amazom forest especially colombian part is full of cartel and gangs in hiding or cooking stuff. Chances are they tried to kill him to stop him from finding their hide out

@Theburningseason 5 месяцев назад

He asked the wrong questions or got nosey they aren't just going to shoot a gringo for no reason

This is such a awesome and inspiring story. I'm 22 years old and always had a love for adventures. Is there anyway I can get in contact with Davey I'd like to be on an adventure with him

@sharontarin1310 Год назад

I'm sorry. You went paddling on an unknown river in the jungle without doing the necessary preparation and you see yourself as somehow better than Josh? Really?

@sharontarin1310 Год назад

Nobody wishes what happened to you on anybody but nobody wishes what happened to Josh on anybody either. You made a choice too. You're not superior because you have a cause.

@xxxneoxxx Год назад

What happened to Josh? New subscriber here feel free to point me in the right direction rather than telling me the story lol..TIA.. thanks in advance lol not this is Africa.

@sharontarin1310 Год назад

@@xxxneoxxx 😜 just the female protection coming out here. Josh is a recovered addict and this man appeared to be belittling him when he said that the difficulties he put his family through were somehow for less of a reason than he, who played around on a river in a jungle by choice without preparation.

@xxxneoxxx Год назад

@@sharontarin1310 lol TY I literally just got to that part in the interview and now it all makes sense. You're right, You could even tell Josh was a little taken back by that comment too. Josh is a good boy, just listen to how he speaks of his mum.

Josh you only do "stupid drug fueled things" haha what even was that comment

@masudade8469 Год назад

The people who shot him probably thought he was a poacher! He is very very lucky I guess moving without a plan, in unfamiliar lands wasn't.. so...smart (stupid?)

@xxxneoxxx Год назад

I'd say the ones with the shotgun and dodgy buckshot were the poachers.

@donaldstrachan6381 6 месяцев назад

Hi there Joshua, thanks for another great interview. You really do choose interesting people to talk to. I just want to make a small comment. Could you perhaps try to stop completing sentences of the people you are interviewing. Let them find the words they want to use, even if it takes a bit longer and your brain has already come up with what you feel is the correct. word. Otherwise, great work dude. Keep it up.

@Shefeeled69 Год назад

Vegan ? Why ? Absolutely pointless point to associate with this. Try and tell these tribes people who saved his life not to eat meat. Total joke.

@_JellyDonut_ Год назад

You make a good point. I don't understand why people like this feel so compelled to indoctrinate everyone else into their way of life. If what you're promoting makes sense you shouldn't have to go to such lengths to get people to listen. It's good that's he's not vandalizing pieces of art, blocking traffic, etc like some people do but it's kind of the same mentality. Still a great story though
