To any Americans reading this. I served in 3 Para with Levi , what an absolute top bloke. Not surprised he went on to wonder the earth. Did my French jumps with him and then popped over to Pamplona to do the Bull Run after it.All down to him to think outside the box to go do that
I keep finding ways to value this podcast. Jocko provides excellent insights, questions and readings. They sometimes challenge my worldview, which I appreciate. Can't wait to watch this one too.
I completely agree , I m way down in Nz and haven’t travelled to far into the world but jocko and his guests have changed the way I think about the world
Oh how I love the sound of Jocko's smooth sultry voice early in the morning telling stories death destruction and sacrifice, making me grateful for my life boils and riches as an American citizen
I just finished watching “The Serpent” on Netflix, which is about a guy who murdered tourist traveling along the “hippie trail” in the 1970’s. So I started researching the hippie trail and traveling thru the Middle East was a popular thing to do back then and I agree, it’s wild to see westerners traveling so freely thru countries nowadays that are too dangerous
How the hell can this only have 100K views when Jocko’s channel has 1.4M subscribers AND he is interviewing Levison Wood??? Something is definitely up with TH-cam.
Thankful every day my brother came home from Afghanistan, but he loved combat. I’m thankful to be able to listen to these discussions too. Thanks, Jocko 🇺🇸
Takes some balls to backpack across Iraq and Afghanistan. Having said that, the ordinary Afghans are known for their hospitality to travellers and those needing shelter and protection - Marcus Luttrell is alive because of it.
The same thought has occurred to me as well. Afghanistan may be the third world of the third world but, aside from the Taliban, the people are the salt of the earth. I hope we haven't screwed up their country.
See here ... a great documemtary all through but the milling is at about 34.54 They wear head guards these days but its still epic. th-cam.com/video/YFuR6Jtzbtw/w-d-xo.html
I was an Australian soldier in Iraq (1991) and the British flew me and my mates from Salopi in Turkey, Salopi was on the border between Iraq and Turkey. We flew in on the British variant of the Chinook and the pilots flew the chinook like a roller coaster. I was very excited but sacred as shit. This was it, getting stuck in. Well the Chinook dropped quickly and the ramp went down and I ran out into a mix of fuel fumes and dust and into defensive positions. The noise was absolutely maddening but added to the thrill of the moment. The Chinook left as quickly as it landed and the sudden silence was strange. I managed to look over my shoulder as I lay prone with my kit falling to the side and into the back of my neck and saw the chopper as a small dot in the sky. The manic moments passed and there was no shooting, no ‘enemy’ and this was it. I was suddenly aware of a horrible sickening stench emanating from within me. I looked down and found that my chest and webbing had squashed into a pile of human shit. How did I know it was human shit? The stench! The odour was revolting and the shit was baked into a crusty cake by the heat covering the outer crusty shell cracked by my body. All the soggy yellowish and brown moist stinky shit covered my webbing and the front of my field cams. Day one!
Canadian here. I was backpacking for a few years about the same time as this gent; but I played it safe and went to places like Honduras, Guatemala, and Colombia. No shooting wars on when I was there... I have to say, backpacking was absolutely one of the best experiences I have ever had. Plenty of wild times. Lots of Canadians, Brits, Swedes, Norse and other Europeans in hostels all over the place, but I can count the number of Yanks I've met properly traveling with a day pack and grit on my thumbs. Just not a thing that Americans think to do, for whatever reason.
I just watched a documentary about the “Hippie Trail” because the mini series “The Serpent” on Netflix inspired me to look into it. Pretty crazy that westerners used to be able to freely travel through countries like Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It was also crazy to see just how little has changed in those middle eastern countries since the 1970’s.
Levison Wood, back in early/mid 2000s, I found myself in Tehran. I remember walking through the Bazaar, and suddenly i saw another westerner. It was highly discouraged for us to be in Iran at that time. Anyway, he had a real worn and scruffy look, single day backpack. It most likely wasn't you back then, but god damn, if it was you - that would've been awesome. 😎
Super refreshing podcast, I'd love to go horseback riding in Northern Afghanistan and hitchhike across Europe to India. Love the guests that Jocko has on, will definitely read this book. The part about milling and the Paras was great and I had to TH-cam some videos of it, getting punched in the head for a minute will definitely toughen anyone up.
@@channi58 just finished this podcast. 10 books and a few TV shows, can't wait to watch them and see some of the real people living in these places and not just what the Western media tells us about them!
@@lepoldbuttersstotch cool stuff. With BBC doc through walking the Himalayas from Pakistan border of afgan India, nepal to further east. Dream stuff. Wouldn't want to walk though! Media creates an illusion in our head through hate and war images I find. Don't miss kashmir its a dream too I hear.
I ran outa money in spain. Walked the camino de compastella, a church pilgrimage, northern spain. Survived outa vending machines and christian ✝️ handouts. Good ppl are out there. Eventually found a western union in some obscure small town. 200euro saved the trip. Great memories. Slept in refugios. Trip of a lifetime.
Awesome stuff Jocko! Really enjoyed your interview questions & Levinson was great! Amazing stories, but humble attitude. **also he needs to pay you whatever amount to do the full audio book!
Wow only 61 views!! Thanks guys, great to see a smiling Jocko! Have a great week everybody! The wisdom of men are errors you don't have to participate in, yet one can incorporate in your life. Kindest Regards, JTF
_great seeing Brits on the show. Someone mentioned the Royal Artillery which was my dad's first regiment then he was Intelligence corps...yeah I know "green slime" lol_

These discussions are a real gift to humanity. It's impossible to listen and not take away a valuable bit of wisdom and knowledge.

This has to be THE most interesting podcast of Jocko's entire series. Absolutely awesome !
Thanks for getting another Brit on Jocko!!🇬🇧🙌🇺🇲
I second that! What warrior gentleman they are.
I keep finding ways to value this podcast. Jocko provides excellent insights, questions and readings. They sometimes challenge my worldview, which I appreciate. Can't wait to watch this one too.

What a podcast. When two great men collide, it's bound for greatness.
Awesome podcast! The two brits you have had on so far have truly represented!
One walked the Nile the other will row it
They make me proud to be from the UK for sure
Id love for him to get more brits on. Hopefully he gets mark billingham on.
Jocko saying “back in the day” is my favorite part of the podcast. It makes me laugh every single time
I also love it when he says "The TEEEEEEEEEEEEAMS!!!" 😎
Jocko: “If I’m hitchhiking and I put my thumb out, no ones picking me up” 😂😂😂
Jaja...Jocko is legendary
30:30
Relatable lol
i realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Kaleb Forrest Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
His series about walking the entire length if the river Nile is one of the best adventure programs i have ever watched.
Jocko for president ✌️♥️
How AWESOME would that be!!!
@@MM-eo2oz Its all about Jocko, for me.🤗
@@MM-eo2oz The Rock should play Jocko in a movie...or act in a movie with Jocko, though. That would be TITS!!
@@MM-eo2oz I will give The Rock more of my 👂 though being that you think so highly of him. 😇
No. I don’t wish that on him. They’ll end up cancelling him for undercooking a burger at Wendy’s decades ago
Why does Jocko not have a T Shirt that says "Good Evening Echo"
Echo needs to make this happen
I would buy it
Oh how I love the sound of Jocko's smooth sultry voice early in the morning telling stories death destruction and sacrifice, making me grateful for my life boils and riches as an American citizen
The balls on this dude, hitch hiking through afganistan, getting a taxi to Iraq. Damn dude.

And the Para's . . .!
Bro watch Levisons stuff you'll be hooked
How the hell can this only have 100K views when Jocko’s channel has 1.4M subscribers AND he is interviewing Levison Wood??? Something is definitely up with TH-cam.
It's five in the morning in India right now sir... Getting up daily and getting after it all thanks to you❤️ much love❤️
Keep at it brother, I'm right there with you, albeit many timezones behind.
Thankful every day my brother came home from Afghanistan, but he loved combat.
I’m thankful to be able to listen to these discussions too. Thanks, Jocko 🇺🇸
Levison Wood is an awesome guy to watch on his adventures. I can't wait for more video chronicles.
Somebody needs to make shirts that have jockos face and “what was your op tempo like” lol, that’s gotta be one of his favorite questions to ask

Love it when British guys are on 🇬🇧🇺🇸
An fantastic choice for a podcast. There is an absolute humility and balance with Major Levison.
Dang that milling boxing match is no joke!!!
See here ... a great documemtary all through but the milling is at about 34.54 They wear head guards these days but its still epic.

Gross lol
So you were literally 'in the shit'.
That excerpt in the beginning was intense wow
Thanks to all of you for these great interviews, very much appreciated!
Finally I'm not a day or two late. That intro was intense.
Good to see Jocko has over 1MIL subscribers now!!!!
Jocko and echo the perfect Ying and yang. What a team. Great balance. Another great podcast 👏
LIKE JAMES T KIRK IN THE BAR AFTER THE FIGHT GETTING RECRUITED! ..DAAAAAAMMMM
Get some! Shout out from Dallas Tx
Brilliant podcast. Levison is a great guest & has led an incredible life.
Fantastic insight into the life of a true "explorer"...
Levison, Echo, Jocko ... thank you
I had to pause this and go look up milling when the subject came up.

Love this podcast! Keep up the good work gentleman, and thank you for your service!
Lev and Jocko really bounce off each other well, great podcast
One of the most extreme versions of exploring and hitch-hiking I've heard of. Great listen team.
Great podcast all around, fascinating stories and some of Jocko's best humorous bits I've ever heard. Thanks boys :)
Every country you wanted to avoid at certain times...Mister Wood: Oh lets go backpacking thru there 😂😂😂😂
What a crazy dude.
Jocko you the man, love the stories you tell
Outstanding episode.
Amazing guest! I'll definitely look for his docs and books.
What an impressive person.....I must read his book.
Banana Cream name submission: “Ballistic Banana”
Parachute regiment training, enlisted, is 28 weeks with test week being around week 21
2:55:40 Jock needs to drop a track about american made jeans! Grown in America, sown in America! could be a lyric.

And also add motor biking around Himalayas!!

The Home Office: British citizens must avoid at all cost travelling to Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran due to severe risk to life.
Levison: Hold my beer...
Levison: So anyway I started walking
Levison Wood ,Robbie Williams an Eddie Hall Stoke hall of fame!! Sharpe’s Eagle what an episode.The Battle of Talavera
Imagine milling with jocko
Sharpe was based on the book series by Bernard Cornwell, one of the best historical fiction writers.
I would pick jocko up for sure if I saw him hitchhiking he's nice 🥺🥺

- Banana Cream Grenades
- Banana Creamouflage
- Banana Creamondos
- Task Unit Banana
- Hardcore Banana Cream
Where can I get the book?
