In this episode, we spoke to intrepid explorer Benedict Allen who has nearly died nine times throughout his career - including when he was threatened by gold miners, contracted deadly malaria and was shot at by Pablo Escobar's hitmen. Benedict relives his experience of becoming the first person to cross the Amazon Basin and getting lost alone in the rainforest for weeks without food, shelter or water. This desperate situation led him to make one of the toughest decisions of his life and moulded him into the explorer we meet today. 00:00 - 00:30 - Intro 00:30 - 02:35 - I Want To Be An Explorer 02:25 - 04:51 - First Amazon Expedition 04:51 - 06:00 - Attacked By Gold Miners 06:00 - 08:13 - The Nightmare Began 08:13 - 10:37 - I Have To Find A Way Out Of Hell 10:37 - 11:13 - The Shock Of Daylight 11:13 - 12:00 - The First Person To Walk The Amazon Basin 12:00 - 17:40 - Crocodile Initiation Ceremony 17:40 - 18:30 - Abandoning Technology 18:30 - 21:44 - Shot At By Pablo Escobar 21:44 - 27:00 - Expedition To The Arctic 27:00 - 28:05 - Realising My Dream 28:05 - 29:43 - We Need Explorers More Than Ever 🔵 SUBSCRIBE to LADbible Stories    / @ladbiblestories   for Minutes With, Honesty Box and more Our other channels… 🔴 LADbible Entertainment    / @ladbible   SUBSCRIBE for Snack Wars, Agree To Disagree and more 🟢 SPORTbible    / @sportbible   SUBSCRIBE for Agree To Disagree, Find The Fake Fan and more Instagram:   / ladbible   Facebook:   / ladbible   TikTok:   / lad   Snapchat:   / cyl8koc2   X:   / ladbible   Latest news: https://www.ladbible.com/ Be in our videos:   / ladbiblecasting   License this video: [email protected] #ladbible #ladbiblestories
