[@iloveicecreamandcake]

There are always going to be your basic two types of people. You have your public school/college educated individuals and then you have your people who are educated from life itself. Just experience. They both have their give and takes. But you could easily further break this down. Or expand on what each gains or loses. Such as time vs educational value or what kind of education are you getting vs the time you are spending/losing. Schooling, in my opinion, waists a lot more time than is necessary to get to where you need to be. Given a persons independence and perseverance.

[@911shan]

@anthony chacon Definitely not true. Most of the people on Earth, are not looking to move to northern Alaska and live like a hunter gatherer. In modern society life is hell without education. Sure you can pick up a skill like Metal working, Wood working, diving, or get into sports and maybe make it, but all those practical skill based jobs are quickly becoming obsolete because we now have technology that can do the same job more efficiently and faster without needing time off. In the modern world, we are moving into an era where we don't need individuals who can do the job. But the individuals who can repair, create, or research the machinery that can do the job (all of which requires education). The best people are those that have an undergrad degree (at least a bachelors) and work experience, as both go hand in hand. If say, you have a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 5 years of work experience working for Boeing, you're basically set in life. You'll be earning over 100k USD a year, 1 month a year vacation time + commissions and bonuses. Plus when you are educated you will look for a life partner who is also educated. Say your wife has a Bachelors in Psychology and works as a psychologist with 3-5 years of experience. Your household is bringing in over 250k USD a year. You can mortgage and easily live in a 2 million dollar house and have 1 or 2 100K + luxury cars. And when you have kids, you want them to also be educated and live a full life. Therefore, education and life and work experience all go hand in hand.

[@garygrubbs5486]

Guys net worth 1/2 million you can live in alaska and be a hunter gatherer.

[@williamblair9597]

@@garygrubbs5486That's a concept worth putting a little thought into analyzing your life as if it were a window and you could observe it along with all of it's options from two opposing and completely opposite sides and directions. I think I should stop before reaching the hallucinogenics required before proceeding point. I would add one additional thing before deciding to jump into the adventures of being that hunter/gathering dude with the 1/2 million dollar net worth by inserting the word "young" right before hunter.

[@19erickpana]

I think that Joe is really unique exception. He's well known now super famous, but it wasn't always that way. I've heard some of his stories where he talks about being broke, feeling like he had no sense of direction. The difference between Joe of your other famous people who came from the bottom is that he has stayed humble and actually has a way of communicating with others, regular people and not so regular people. He's a curious dude just like the majority of us, all of these makes him unique.

[@xxdemisucksxx]

I would never discount the benefits of formal education but at the same time you can't argue the intelligence of this person. Listening to him speak and his experiences is so amazing. Very smart person.

[@Joe-ui3nr]

One of the BEST JRE guest so far. This guy’s experiences are fascinating.

[@Ashley0491]

This man is truly amazing.

[@senna3]

He's what Alexander Supertramp wished he could be

[@calebl6609]

senna3 yep. This guy was successful and Alex got himself killed. The difference between blind ambition and calculated planning.

[@torianholt2752]

Chris was much closer to civilization too, he was only a couple of miles from a ranger station and didn't even realize it, lol.

[@TronaldJDump]

For real. I lived in Healy. The trip to the famous bus McCandless died in is a lazy beer drinking hike. When you get there you're like "why didn't he walk back some afternoon?". I've been through the Brooks Range too. Yeah, this dude's as real as there is...

[@ron.hertzberg]

Alex was alone with no sat phone to call and supplies if they need this dude had supplies called in so many times on LBZ. There's a huge there's a huge difference between two

[@ron.hertzberg]

@@TronaldJDump he didn't walk back because he was badly poisoned and extremely dehydrated

[@ohitsyang]

I was stationed in JBER a decade ago when I was 18. The people there always say that theres only 2 seasons in Alaska: Winter time and Construction time. 😂😂😂

[@paulknight4336]

Its kinda amazing when you see someone who has found the peace that everyone searches for and he has nothing material. Lucky man

[@harristech6807]

use to love watching this show, his story is so inspiring to negotiate all this without even having a high school or college degree. He said quit school in 4th grade lol.

[@djimma5080]

Education back ground doesn't really matter for alot of people in the world even in the working world , I can't remember the last job I had where they wanted to know what school and what grades I got , obviously other careers will require this but alot don't

[@SupremeLeader187]

Finally Joe has a interesting guest on his podcast and not the normal losers

[@lauralil6886]

!

[@The_dude94]

For somebody with so little formal education this man is very well spoken and seemingly intelligent. If he had not mentioned that bit about education I never would have guessed it!

[@MarcusMayhem123]

I moved from a town of about 10,000 people to a super small town of about 200. I live in the middle of nowhere and if I didn't have to work, I would be outside 24/7. I never thought I would love nature this much, but I do, and I 100% understand why Glenn would enjoy it.

[@rankoutsider2363]

That’s exactly what I’m in the process of doing mate, building a new home with sea views, town of 200 😂❤

[@-J-A-M-]

Glenn's scenes were by far my favourite part of the show.

[@hockeyguy2005]

I agree... And the man knew how to think ahead. He has a separate living space in case one gets smashed up by a bear. I wanted to try to build one of those shelters after seeing his.

[@gud2go50]

My Favorite Movie growing up was Jeremiah Johnson. I always wanted to do what he did, but never had the balls. This guy is the true life embodiment of our past relatives The Mountain men, that is the real American spirit. Free to make their own way. I love these interviews with Glen. I see why you seem to admire him. I do as well.

[@growingwithjoy]

“I went to 1 year of high school.. I was curious about what was going on over there..” 😩🤣🤣🤣

[@Walk4274]

He's so natural. I liked his segments on the show.

[@hannahmichaud1616]

Most people in the lower 48 consider alaska as not part of america yet most alaskans are fiercely patriotic and would never want to be considered Canada’s coastline... c’mon give em some love!

[@tomhayes2490]

Most Alaskans consider themselves, myself included, Alaskan first American second based on geography alone.

[@hannahmichaud1616]

Tom Hayes I was expecting some clarification on that part lol. Btw thats just my impression from extended family member’s attitudes up there

[@f0rumrr]

This guy needs to make a youtube channel. What a crazy story, just puts his mind to something and does it.

[@robert4you]

_"Alaska is a frozen Puerto Rico"_ - Joe Rogan, December 2019

[@natiive1444]

This guy is crazy but so inspiring. I am NO WHERE near this guys level of experience in life in general lol and definitly not somewhat primitive survival but anyone with anxiety should try out learning self defence (hand to hand or with a weapon), primitive survival skills, learning how to handle firearms and to shoot a bit, hiking, living off the land for food or even just going out camping a bit with friends or alone with supplies. You don't need to go hardcore like this guy and even just doing one of these things is very rewarding and calming for the soul and you feel independent.

[@kokoskokso]

Joe Rogan and the whole world: "It's a crazy way to live, man." Most of humanity most of the time: Lived like that.

[@obviouscaptain2931]

Glen has been a hero of mine for ten years. True badass.

[@TheSpiikeisme]

I love watching him on TV and felt 100% inspired by him, love below zero, mountain man, Ice road truckers, bering sea gold, survivor man. All those shows inspire me to live in nature. Buying a van soon and going to retire living van life. I'm sure

[@americarocks9137]

Glenn seems like a really good cool dude. I knew that he was because I watch "Life Below Zero" regularly, but it's really interesting to hear him in this environment.

[@331slash]

Been watching all the Glenn clips, just captivating

[@TWIH718]

What an amazing human being.

[@MrGSXSIR]

Joe looks at Glenn like he’s in love lol

[@eightballjamal]

As I'm sitting here eating my store-bought sandwich, it struck me that what's impressive (aka insane) about Glenn is that he is basically living big chunks of his life with almost no safety net --like doing frequent free solos up the mountain of life.

[@kit2130]

What do you think of people that live with no safety net?

[@eightballjamal]

@@kit2130 I admire people who do it... probably in large part because I'm afraid to try it myself TBH.

[@kit2130]

@@eightballjamal it’s all about relying on yourself because that’s all you’ve got. Yourself & God. And if you don’t believe in God, it’s a lot harder to get through the hardest parts.

[@eightballjamal]

@@kit2130 I really like your balanced reply. Don't know what Glenn's religious beliefs are but regardless, I think he'd agree your advice is sound.

[@kit2130]

@@eightballjamal thank you. I appreciate you.

[@LouSassoleSledgecock]

This is the most masculine and interesting man I’ve ever listened to in my life.

[@kmiller1341]

Loved that show and he by far was the most interesting scenario. He was so intelligent and sure of everything he did, plus was able to teach the audience while he was doing it. Wilderness brilliance at its finest.

[@rcOhio]

Just a fascinating guy! Brilliant as well, regardless of his “formal education”.

[@nigelpenfold8291]

Would love to see what all the people from that show are doing now.have watched them all and i still watch the re-runs.great show👍

[@danielnava6235]

Glen really played Minecraft hardcore in real life lmao

[@jacrispiejackson69]

This dude is living an amazing life

[@kangtheconqueror9545]

I like how he wasn't looking for fame. He just wanted to share his experience with people who have no idea about how that lifestyle works.

[@maxpelton6819]

Best interview ever. I also know how exiting it is to be apart of nature and how legit this guy is

[@mikehawk8276]

Highest point in NM is around 13,000 feet... you'll either get 2 feet of snow in a day or nada... taos

[@Stavj016]

What an amazing conversation!!!! So awesome

[@pacificule]

Glenn has been my favorite since the jump. My wife calls him my homoplatonic man crush cuz every time he's on the show I call her in to see what he's up to. I want him to be famous but not a celebrity you know? Just someone who people know exists. Dick Proenneke was another. It's important that we understand it's still possible to live all the way up, or down to earth, or whatever you call it. And that an education is what you make of it. That college degree isn't worth shit out there but common sense is priceless, free, and travels well

[@tkrpclips8363]

This was one of my favorite podcasts ever of JRE and after watching Into The Wild, so fascinating to come back here and listen
