"We piled the remnants of his dead body on the bonfire. We stayed there until nothing was left but ashes and coals." *Dramatic pause* "So these guys are gettin after it."

THis has been my favorite podcast from Jocko. An incite as to how our ancestors lived on the plains.

Thank you for reading this book. I am an Okie with native blood in me and enjoy learning about the history of the tribes. I enjoy listen to the podcast while I'm at work or during my Thursday evening workouts at home. I used two packets in my tea and the other day and ran out of weights and had to go out in the drive way to squat my truck. That stuff realy works.... I was just at the gun shop getting my new arrows tipped and Royce Gracie was in there getting new arrows. That was pretty cool.

I still can't get over how such an imposing figure like Echo can have such a gentle voice.

Wooden Leg was taking part in what we call in Chippewa a "Humbalechee" or Vision Quest. The Plains Indians, we didn't have tobacco we call it kanik-kanik and you are right it is a mixture of wild herbs all drug free. We do all the ceremonies today including the "Sundance" which is like the Vision Quest and lasts 4 days and 4 nights of no food or water, dancing from sunrise to sunset on the third day those who are called to pierce, do so, if you would like to attend any ceremonies you are more then welcome to come and attend out here in Omaha.

This is by far one of the best Jocko podcasts to date! DO NOT GIVE UP CAPABILITY FOR COMFORT!! Nice to hear Jocko's opinion on political issues, even if it is disguised as a book report.

[tricepsish]

This was in my humble opinion the best one yet... I was so immersed in the story and left with a new found respect for Native Americans and indigenous cultures around the world in general...and that speech starting at 1:57:00 ... amazing

I really enjoy listening to all of the podcasts.  I am From the Chumash tribe on the Central Coast of California and grew up learning how to hunt, track, navigate terrain and even some escape and evasion tactics.  Always wanted to join the military, but decided to take a different path after attending MMA in Virginia, where I ran into Richard Marcinko a couple of times. One of the few people in my life that made a HUGE impression on me and he didn't even have to say a word.  Much respect and thanks to you and everyone else for your service.

Thank you for doing this podcast. I am part Native American. Thank you for showing such respect to Native American culture.

As a native American we are all warriors, a majority of us just got domesticated, but warriors still exist.

Great podcast! "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" is another good read for those interested in the Indian perspective of the struggles in the west.

[InPursuitOfArt]

I would love a book of Jocko's insights at the end of each reading and also at the end of each episode. I've been cutting the audio on some of these to remember, but there are so many and they are all so valuable - it would make an awesome book and there's probably enough material already there for one. Echo & Jocko - please think about it :)
Thank you guys, most useful content for living a better life I've ever found. Thank you!

[Choom]

This ranks among one of my favorites so far... thanks for introducing me to Wooden Leg.

[flintmcguire]

more Native American stuff! An amazing people who where basically in the stone age and beating a steam engine level society, so many lessons from there perspective, my favorite podcast yet.

[christopherirwin]

The podcast has definitely helped me out on all fronts. I wasn't necessarily weak before but I'm a lot stronger mentally now, which has had an impact physically as well. Thank you.

We are drawn in by the history of it all, my Grandma Holland called it "His story" referencing God acting in the broad sweep of human history, well as individual's lives. First we learn the story, then we learn the lessons that will benefit us in our lives. The worst thing modern indoctrination vs education has done is to eliminate both the lessons and the history by not teaching the whole history of the good, the bad, and the unflattering. Why? Because, every civilization has truly fallen from within and not from without from weakness and apathy and lethargy. This is why your audience is so drawn in by this podcast, and book reviews, and firsthand account interviews of modern history. We thirst for genuine knowledge, and appreciate both of you. May God bless you both, your families, and your businesses!

[readybag]

Good evening. Thank you so much, first for your service, and second for taking the time to create these podcasts, I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate them. You guy's are changing lives for the better and that makes the world a better place. I have received so much amazing advice to put into my life and businesses, and look forward for more!

[nickbloom]

There is some seriously good lessons to learn from this entire podcast. This particular episode is criminally underrated amd under-viewed

[NikuaRanger]

This should be how history classes are done
