- 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.

Hey everyone. I’m currently travelling around America filming podcasts with the most insane guests I can find. I will be posting a bit less this month but I hope you enjoy this episode and I promise I have some crazy episodes coming out soon! 🙌🏻
All the way from 🇹🇿 we are watching you,don't give up ,your podcast is amazing
Can't wait, enjoy your trip!
We are excited Josh.
Your up there with one of the best podcasts In my opinion
this is an AMAZING story!! thank you so much for sharing
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!
Man. What an incredible story and journey! So much admiration for Davey!
Hey canoeing up the Amazon on yr own, was pretty stupid....
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.
WOW!! I can’t believe this guy survived! Amazing person.
Wow how amazing that he survived that! And with a great message. 👍
Great story teller this one, very calming smooth voice! Well done you guys 😊
Josh keep it up bro it's not hard to see your going places
cheerz from Montreal Canada!
-40°C outside so chilling in bed with your awesome interviews.
quite touching this one, love you both!
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.
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.
What a harrowing experience, thanks for sharing!
Brilliant as always
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.
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.
i cant believe this happened to this guy, Its really amazing he is alive
❤❤am so sor😢ry for you, ❤❤What a courage and brave story. I think god loves you...good Luck to you you..
This is an exceptional story wow!
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.
Very very interesting 👍
God Bless you.
What an Amazing story...great lesson as well. A personal locator beacon should be attached to your person. Attached to a belt could of helped him that much quicker.
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.
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
He asked the wrong questions or got nosey they aren't just going to shoot a gringo for no reason
Hey man your great podcaster . Please let the man talk an stop interrupting.
Welcome to the Target Club, Think of it like this, we survived.
I had a near death experience
- same I gave up
- I had euphoria
Weird huh
I also wondered why I gave up so quick
Such an interesting story.....I want to hear the rest of the dentist story though
awesome
This guy was ment to survive if it’s not your time it’s not your time simple people fall over in there garden and die this guy survived all this wow what a brave guy
Don't paddle the amazon solo 💀💀💀
This dudes voice immediately reminded of the guy from the Octopus teacher parody video haha
Hey Josh, I'm the community manager for Sheldon The Sniper. How can I get in contact with you to have chat about a possible collaboration?
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?
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@xxxneoxxx he's a great young man. Go back and watch the one where he interviewed his dad. I have the world of respect.
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?)
I'd say the ones with the shotgun and dodgy buckshot were the poachers.
Yes a gringo asking questions isn't good
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
Josh you only do "stupid drug fueled things" haha what even was that comment
Hectic!
Am I hearing right, "Herpifore"?
Herbivore
He was on the plane then what?
TIMESTAMPS PLEASE
Good show and great content...And yes, lost total momentum and interest when the veganism and global warming crap came in to play. Ted talk was right.
glad he is healthy and living
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.
Man are we really in the end times so is it 2030
But this man talking about defense mechanism, man you gave up simple you had no fight you just gave up
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.
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
Imagen your domestic worker creates you. Give her money bruh !
