    Probably the most important message of the movie, is about the state of mind and decisions you make once you are in a real life threatening situation. When I was 35, I fell through the ice of a frozen lake by myself. Nothing gives you mental clarity of purpose like a life threatening situation.

Getting sucked under water i knew to stay calm. The knife accident severing all the shit in my wrist and knicking an artery, i just stayed calm and focused on triage.

      These daily new terms like "triggered" (I know it's not new, but using it for every single thing that annoys someone or gives them a shot of anxiety *is* and it's horribly cringe... also drains the meaning of ACTUALLY being triggered like fighting words making you lose control lol) make me cringe so hard, but "trauma dump" is one that I find so funny if it's used by someone who isn't one of these modern hyper-weak individuals. The weaklings make me sad for them lol.
      Everyone goes through some type of trauma, major or minor, and it's often cathartic to just throw it into the comment void to some future strangers and never come back. 😂😂
      You never know too, often it resonates with some people so even if the whole thing with social media and rambling to strangers is inherently cringe, if it even resonates with 1 single person, thats a good thing

Kiowa on the Missouri River. As for winter in South Dakota, which is where this actually happened--well, ever been there during winter? IF you were really healthy, strong, and didn't have far to go, I suppose you could survive it.

    For anyone thinking about trying maggot therapy down the road. Please realize they use lab grown maggots for this that have essentially been genetically bred for it and are considered much cleaner than letting a fly lay some eggs on an open wound you develop. I had a patient once who had cut his calf on some barbed wire while out in the field. He had the bright idea to rub some bacon fat on it and let some flies lay their eggs on it. By the time he actually came to the hospital he was septic and had to have the lower part of his leg amputated. Long story short if you get a bad wound/infection go to the hospital and let them treat it before resorting to something such as maggot therapy on your own.

      Most people would miss that Hugh Glass didn't put the maggots in his wounds'. He just didn't remove the ones that were actually cleaning infected tissue from his wounds. The wounds that continued to be infected in spite of the maggots were probably scrubbed out with 'Indian herbs' Glass knew from his time with the Pawnee were safe and healing. And by scrubbed out I mean literally scrubbed out; Glass most likely used handfuls of herbes to debride every speck of dead and decaying tissue he could find.

      I also read a version of the Hugh Glass story where the recovery of his prized gun was not only his primary motivation, but he had actually been a gunsmith apprentice earlier in life. He helped make that rifle and had absconded with it without properly paying his master for it, but kept and used it until his mauling. That was what he really wanted back. Finding out Bridger didn’t have it, and that Fitzgerald did kept him going. Not killing Fitz when he got his gun back supports the strength of faith in Christianity at the time. Why kill a man when you survived and got your stuff back?

    I grew up and now live about 16 miles from where Mr. Glass met up with the bear. Or so the monument proclaims, there is a nice campground just a few miles on from there, actually they say the point of the meeting is now under a lot of water that comprises the Shadehill Resivore here in South Dakota. The tribe are called the A-RICK-A-RA, emphases on the RICK, they are now members of the 5. tribes located on a reservation in north central North Dakota. The Bears are now long gone from our part of the Dakota's most have retreated into the Black Hills, some 140 miles South of here, and into the Yellowstone Park area.

I never once backed down or cowered from these gangbangers my whole life, even damn near killing one with my bare hands bodyslamming him on the curb. They called me “Joker,” because I started out nice, but when people who didn’t know me tried to mess with me they said, “Joker don’t play,” and if the warning wasn’t heeded, everyone would stand around and gather in a circle to watch their own shorties get flexed like nothing. Good times. Can’t hardly even tell a single story, nobody believes it. Nobody believes that when guns got pulled on me I’d tell mofos to follow me to my house so I could get a sword and make it even. Nobody comprehended my fearlessness. Had no choice. It was respect or death and I wasn’t going to make that choice easy.

Sure, a lot of people pretend that their kids are the reason they go, but adults are the real reason, and that's who movie makers cater to. To that low level, limited attention span mentality. They can't handle anything real, because it's too hard to think about. They pay for thrills, explosions and pretending they could fit into to a superhero costume...

      @@CrazylorFTW Well in the beginning he probably did it all, but I'm sure he's found a good editor and some good writers since then. All Simon Whistler does is record now, which is why he has like 8 trillion channels.
      A good example for this channel though:

      Yeah sure he just says hey you do that over there and it gets done. I wonder what it must be like to think he is on vacation somewhere and just makes a phone call and everything just gets done. Honestly, running things that way will run the same way a game of telephone would ironically, I'm pretty sure he's very hands on still. He has to manage everything and pay attention, think of new ideas. It doesn't get easier, you just have people to help you with the things you can't handle anymore. He's most likely very busy.

    Everytime i come back he has a new style, loved the "grandfather" style but this casual one is also pretty nice. Content is always informative, funny, and when needed very serious.

    Arikara almost rhymes with "a rickshaw" just add another short a sound between Rick and "ra" (The a sound starting the word is also short)
    Kiowa rhymes with Iowa.

    I still remember that scene where the Church was left devastated but the bell held up and stood there as Leo limped across, that has to be the ultimate level of subtle-dramatism, I crunched my tummy and softly giggled on the inside.

    great vid and really fascinating. too bad he never got that guy!!! an amazingly interesting man. the fact that he didn’t take out his revenge on the young man shows a real feeling person😊, even though he had been through so much violence in his life.
    never heard of that tribe who kept hounding him.
    just a couple of things that probably you’ll never need to know again. :). it’s Ki’ oh wa and Paw-NEE’
    love your vids - so much research!!! and you have such a great screen presence!!!! have a wonder Happy Merry Holiday! :) 🌲🌺🎄✨
