Yes I did a few guided night hikes in Bolivian Amazon hoping to see some Tapir. No luck on the Tapir but we did track some prints for quite a while and also found some Jaguar prints which was a bit freaky.

Deep in the Forest
It's primal, the rain forest at night, I think. I felt like I didn't belong there amongst the wild things. I'm not afraid of the dark but it was...Odd to be there after dark.
I trekked the "Kokoda Trail" in Papua New Guinea as well and got the same feeling.

Would love to do Kokoda one day; although I would be more tempted to climb Puncak Jaya

I'm into history (war history) so Kokoda was for that purpose, to pay my respects. It was difficult but then it sounds like you know your way around a hiking boot. I can highly recommend it. I don't know much about Puncak Jaya...Any hike is a good one though. 😀

Yes I would like to do it one day for that reason also. My brother did it a few years back. It is a tough slog by all accounts. Most of my knowledge of the history of the track comes from reading the Peter FitzSimons book about it.

It's tough yes. Worth it though. Such a great life experience. The Fitzsimmons book is a good resource. Peter Brune has a good book too. "A bastard of a place". Worth a read.

Cool. Dan sets the bar for podcasting IMO. I have not listened to Jocko's podcast but I have heard him interviewed by Tim Ferriss. Currently working through the Revolutions podcast.

He (Jocko Willink) was the SEAL commander for Task Force Bruiser (Ramadi) and commanded Chris Kyle. He is a corporate trainer now and applies his military expertise to the task. He is also heavily into BJJ and health. A good dude. Respectful of those who serve and yet able to see, and comment, objectively.

There's a few bad ones out there but in the main most podcasts are pretty good. I get a lot out of them. You obviously do also.
