- In the 2015 film 'The Revenant', we follow the harrowing journey of Hugh Glass in a semi-autobiographical story of incredible survival. The real Hugh Glass, an American frontiersman, fur trapper and trader, hunter, and explorer is even more extraordinary than the film portrays. The details of what he endured will blow your mind.

For someone named “Glass”, this man was unbreakable.
Unbreakable glass
He was a Beast
Underrated comment
well, he is a huge glass tho
That's Mr. Glass to you, Patricia!
Imagine not being able to walk. But seeing a couple wolves killing a buffalo and saying to yourself "I'm gonna crawl over there and scare those wolves". The shear balls.
Scaring wolves isn't that hard, wolves don't really want to mess with people, they're bigger and stronger usually.
@@josharntt a single wolf would fuck you up
J Arnett yea go out into the wilderness and scare a pack of wild hungry wolves and come back and tell us how it went buddy
@@josharntt An adult wolf will often be fairly stronger than an adult male
@@RaizanMedia Even if the guy is stronger, wolves can tear anyone to shreds.
It’s actually insane how difficult life used to be for people
If you want even a small taste of what life was like for them, get into reenacting, and combine that with long distance hiking. Even then, it's only a small taste. Even the most knowledgeable reenactor will tell you, what we "know" about them, and what they LIVED on a daily basis, is light years distant from one another!
@@johnmullholand2044 yeah ok calm down edgy man, watch out to not cut yourself
@@johnmullholand2044 im thankful everyday i wasnt born back then. And even more thankful that nukes havent set us back to an even more terrible time than even what they lived thru.
@@seandafny All it would take would be one high altitude, high yield nuke, and the EMP would knock us back to the late 1800s, technology wise. No more electricity, no more cars, all our modern conveniences gone. We'd be forced to grow our own food, hunt, raise livestock, just like our great grandparents did. Will we lose lots of people? Most likely. Will we learn to get by? Well, either we learn what they knew, or die trying. That's the way it is.
IMHO, reenactors are more ready to live that way since we already practice the skills of the period we portray. That said, it would be in no way "easy", since we don't do it EVERY DAY, day in, day out. Most of us are getting older, and are not in the best shape, but we can teach others what we know. And that's why we do it. To keep that knowledge from getting lost, and to pass it on.
hard times create strong men i guess
Hugh Glass is the the literal definition of the "local man too angry to die" meme. This man was a BAMF.
this was the original "I'll get you biotch" meme
He wasn’t angry. Why would he be angry that they left him?
@@kevin6293 I've read about him. He lived because he SERIOUSLY wanted revenge!
@@cecileroy557 revenge for what? They didn’t attack him. The bear did.
When Hugh Glass was born, the doctors said, "It's a man"
Hugh Glass decided to be born, the doctor was a bystander. He signed his own birth certificate.
@Jaycob... hahaha funny and probably true.
Sir ........ feminists hv surrounded ......... come with me if u want to stay alive ....... 😂😂😂
Ba ba ba bad to the bone ✌️♥️
😂🤣
What impresses me most about Hugh Glass isn't surviving a bear attack or how many times he was abandoned. It is that he was able to travel so far on foot, alone, with such massive testicles.
Having one larger than the other, Hugh road his testiculars like an antique springfield.
Legend says the wheel barrel broke halfway up the river. He had to lug those nuts with HIS OWN BARE HANDS
Check out the story of the Rat River Trapper

And no WOMEN.

Your story needs to be shared to the world.
“400 miles alone, on foot through the wilderness with nothing but a pocket knife....” Just hiking that distance along a known trail, with a friend, fully equipped to camp, stopping for supplies as needed, would be a big achievement for most of us today. It was something this man did many times over, alone, without elaborate equipment, sometimes wounded, sometimes starving, often hunted by people, and with no map. I spent a lot of time in the wilderness when I was in my twenties, hiking alone for up to a week at a time in some of the most remote areas in the US, and what he did is just staggering to me. What a will he must have had.
Thank god for him he lived with the indians for two years, I'm sure without that experience he wouldnt have survived off the land
Yeah I did the same in Australia and SE Asia and also the Himalayas waaaay back in the 80's and early 90's. Along the way I got dysentry and cholera and infected wounds, but this guy is next level...
@Robert Brown lol, sorry I'm still sleeping, please Do Not Disturb!
@Robert Brown Stop being a politically correct ass. They call themselves Indians. Native Americans is two words. If you want to use an alternate form - you have to come up with something that uses one word - which isn't going to happen - because they've already got a one word term - Indians.
.
Indeed, it's no easy feat! But keep in mind: 1. This was during a time where they weren't accustomed to our luxuries, so just the living standards at the time lowered the bar ever so slightly.
2. He lived with the Indians, learning how to survive for 2 years, then he spent another few years literally living off the forest.
Now, I'm not saying this makes it easy, not at all. But it's easy to forget that the fact that the wilderness was more or less like home to him made it into familiar territory, and you also should not underestimate a man's sheer fucking will to survive on pure blood boiling rage and need for revenge/personal justice. It's actually quite insane, even today, how much we actually are capable off when were pushed to our limits. I served in the military in the northest part of Norway, above the Arctic circle, it would get down to -45° ( F or C you ask? Does it fucking matter?). I saw people pull off shit that I had never been able to imagine we could manage. Those fuckers really pushed the man out of us. And we even had the marines over there for Arctic training... Seriously, they got the super light version, and they were complaining *A LOT*
Ironically, the man that left him for dead probably gave him the will to live.
Funny thing is, it’s not becuase Fitzgerald killed his son (who was actually already dead by that point), but Glass’s favorite gun; which to be fair taking a man’s gun in that time was akin to murder. Just wouldn’t of resonated with modern audiences if Glass’s main motivator for revenge was getting his gun back.
@@lufsolitaire5351 He didn’t have any children, take that fake bullshit somewhere else

The Grand Canyon was formed by Hugh dragging his balls through the wilderness.
How's this not top comment? Lmao
L.M.A.O!!! 🤣🤣🤣
No not the Grand Canyon ,it was there already,the Colorado River basin at the bottom was "ball formed" by Glass.. Haven't you ever heard the term..."Glassy surface?" LOL
Lhhhhhh
I think the most impressive part of this story is that Glass somehow still kept some semblance of caring in his heart after all of this to allow that teenager to live free. I think it sounds easier than it actually would be for most of us in his shoes.
He didn’t kill the older guy because of a title , he was as soft as anyone else
@@pacmonkruz9846 lmao he didn't walk like 600-800 collective miles of forest while dying, starving, or being pursued just to immediately be sent to prison or get shot down by 40 Feds. I wouldn't have killed Fitzgerald either; doesn't make him soft. Sometimes you just have to look at a situation and say "Fuck you, you won." and walk away. And that was certainly one of those situations.
@@pacmonkruz9846 and you're not soft?
@@brodyc4114 Fitzgerald did nothing wrong. he would have been charged otherwise
@@rickmorgan1441 hmm tbh most people would probably do the same thing with those hostile indians on their tails. They at least left him near clean water and berries rather than just flat out leave him to die
From what I remembered, Glass didn’t even want vengeance. He just walked into a building where his old group was, yet no one recognized him because of how disfigured he was. He let them know who he was, than he left without another word.
That was my understanding as well. He just asked for the return of his possessions and left.
"i came here for my gun, give me that shit back"
Are you sure it wasn't THEN he left?
The maggots on Hugh's back probably saved his life. Maggots only eat dead rotten flesh. They kept the wounds from gangrene.
good point, he probably knew that too otherwise it might have mentioned him or the group of indians he came across scraping them out
Skurp Slizzer no the Indians addressing his wounds would had got rid of them it is necessary. Although they are good when you can’t do anything about it once he had them sewn up he would have wanted them gone because with an open wound more and more flesh would become rotten it would stop serious infection but they were still eating him. The Indians almost definitely took the maggots out and with his blessing too
Bob Peterson what about the viruses that crawl in the nose, mouth and eyes of the wild bears of yesterday let alone the ones they carry today
Justin Johnson the cold is most likely the reason he was able to host maggots in his back for so long. It’s harder for viruses and bacteria (the once that get us terribly sick) to survive in the harsh cold. But Glass warm body kept the maggots alive
Not really. Those maggots that they use to clean wounds are specially bred and raised medical maggots. They are raised in a germ free environment. Normal maggots will kill your ass.
Those maggots eating his rotten flesh probably helped save his life. Kept the infection at bay. Amazing , almost unbelievable story
Couple things missing worth noting -
In the initial trade/attack that ultimately led to them burning the Arikara village, Glass was actually shot in the leg.
So he was nursing a bullet wound in his leg when he was mauled by the bear - indeed the casualty report of that Arikara attack listing him among the wounded is the first time Hugh Glass's name appears anywhere in the historical record.
Also - alot of the motivation for him following after Fitzgerald wasn't so much purely vengeance, he was trying to get his rifle back - which he did. The Army soldiers in Fitzgerald's company also took up a collection after hearing Glass's story and paid him after he forgave Fitzgerald and took his rifle back.
Also - He died in 1833, $544 in debt, of course, by an Arikara ('Ree') Indian attack. They scalped him and left part of his head staked to the ground where he died with two other trappers. We know this from a letter sent to the superintendent of Indian Affairs William Clark - yes that Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame.)
Also - there is no real substantial historical evidence that Glass was ever a pirate, conscripted by Lafitte, or that he lived with the Pawnee and took a wife among them. That stuff may have been embellished stories he told or were told about him - most of these fur trappers were full of embellished tales of their exploits.
The Pawnee: I’m about to end this mans life
Glass: “paint”
The Pawnee: Nevermind
Bullshit they’d just kill him and take it

This man shows why that you should never underestimate someone's will to live. This is one of the most amazing stories of internal strength ever.

Now that its some funny ass shit lol
@@ekathe85 Hugh G. Balls
So he wasnt even motivated by the revenge of the death of his son. He just was pissed they left him for dead.
Yep, the entire film is basically fictional. Even the bear attack was exaggerated. Hugh's men shot the bear as it was attacking Hugh. He didn't kill it with a knife lmao.
Spite is a different kind of motivation.
He had no son. That was hollywood trying to make it more interesting.
@@arctodussimus6198 It was Hollywood trying to give a reason to make him the protagonist.
Exactly. That's something that disappointed me in the film. A story like this doesn't need to be enhanced with additional bits of drama like that. The film actually showed Glass as being ready and willing to die at Fitzgerald's hand just before Fitzgerald killed his son. From all accounts, Glass would never have just passively agreed to accept death like that. It weakens the character, in my estimation. Why The filmmakers felt the need to fabricate the son plot element is beyond me. Tack on some Hollywood corniness to a real story that's already almost unbelievable? I expect better from Inarritu.
I don’t know if he is lucky or has the worst bad luck in history.
LMAO i can't decide either, maybe the worst luck but the greatest determination (hate can be a great fuel)?
worst luck in history were the Donner party.
Bad luck: Total badass

It’s pronounced Man-Dan and those are my ancestors. My grandpa always tells me no matter who the person is, or where they come from, they’re human and deserve to be treated as such. That kindness they showed Hugh continues through us today
“When I was your age. I walked 10 miles to school , everyday”.
Hugh: a bear almost tore me in half; and i was left for dead, but survived because I couldn’t be killed”
Nature: So, you have chosen death
Glass: So, you have chosen Glass
This man is just CLOAKED in the strongest plot armor ever.
Hugh Glass is the only person who can build a Plot-Armor for himself.

Not really since he died after being scalped alive and tortured to death by Indians.
@@unropednope4644 Guy lasted over a decade after the events of The Revenant so...

@@samstarr7766 😂 wow

You didn't talk about he how he died. Glass was crossing a bridge and some Native Indian shot him as he was crossing. Very anticlimactic but realistic.
he probably woke up underneath that bridge, said "fuck i'm not doing this again" and just died this time
@@nickj357 Lool that was a good one
Wow
@Brisdad53 being shot and dying before 5he scalping yes, if alive for the scalping no.
He was killed by Indians at a ford on the Yellowstone river not a bridge, there were no bridges in the unsettlled Dakota wilderness of the 1830's..
"adventurer" seems a bit of an understatement..
"Legendary Voyager"
In the book Hugh Glass was more enraged that they took his knife and gun leaving him defenseless.
Because his rifle, and possibly his knife, were custom made. Back then, it would have cost several months wages. Today, you could buy one for a couple of weeks pay, at most.
I got lost once, in a K-Mart, but my Mom found me. I was pretty scared.
Perhaps you should join Antifa... You're "battle tested" 😉
Excuse me! What is a k_mart???
I once locked myself outside my hotel when I went to throw trash. I was new in Canada and didn't know that the door would lock itself. I was in pyjamas and barefoot and didn't have my cellphone. It was cold Feburary. It seemed like I was trapped since I was in the back parking and it was fenced. But I finally managed to find a door, get out, went around the hotel and got back to my room.
P.S. - Not to mention about 10 month later, I went for a swim into prohibited sea in bad weather in southern India.
I got lost too . I was 4 in a Mexican mall and I even walked out of the building and crossed the street . I was lost for a few hours and was found because one of my dads friends recognized me and noticed I was by my self . In a time before cellphones and most homes there didn’t have house phones I was lucky to have been found. I could of been kidnapped .
F F a bad, bad place....
He's like the nightmare version of Forest Gump.
Life is like a box of tragedies and I'm going to eat every one of them.
OMGoodness that was down right HILARIOUS dude! Got a great big chuckle outta that one.
Except, he wanted to find and kill Lieutenant Dan.
That was outstanding!
That should have been a line in The Revenant, not gonna lie
😹😹😹😹😹😹
Fitz knew he was being hunted by Hugh, that is why Fitz joined army. If he didn't Hugh would've killed him.
The more I see and read about those early “mountain men” the more in awe I am of how tough they were.
Mountain MEN, and the soldiers in the day. Could you march twenty miles, with a full pack, and go straight into a battle? I know I can't. Even when I was younger and full of beans!
He spared the young teenage boy..... That’s some grown man shit right there
If you were 15 yr old back then youd be considered a man. Or at least you better have been.
He still beat the shit out of him though. When he first arrived at the fort he attacked Bridger the moment he saw him, the other men just watched since Bridger told them that he was dead so they let Glass have his way with him. Despite being in the middle of killing one of the people who left him for dead, it came to realization that he was just a boy who was piss scared. He just dropped his urge for vengeance right there and helped him back up. Later, Bridger apologized for everything and they even spoke quite a bit while Glass stayed a couple of days like nothing ever happened.
(I gathered all of this from the book which is very true to the real story. I highly recommend reading it, it's fucking awesome!)

That's because he came from Scottish/Irish stock, the toughest most resilient, fierce and stubborn breed alive.
In Australia, there was a story about a man who was of Scottish or Irish blood and he was layed out and whipped raw all over his entire body, lashes upon lashes of excruciating pain and he didn't even utter one single sound.
Not once did he cry out in pain or even so much as gasp.
It shocked everyone who witnessed it but he refused to give his oppressor's the satisfaction of seeing him in pain or suffering.
He didn't even flinch.
That story has remained in history as one that defies belief but these stories are not rare when it comes to the Scottish and Irish, especially the Scottish, they are fkn brutes and they are stubborn, refusing to give up or be beaten!
For centuries they have fought relentlessly and you will find it dam near impossible to find a race more resilient, brave and strong than the Scots!
Once again reality concurs anything dreamt up as fiction.
Hugh Glass' life is a testament to the will of spirit and perseverance.

Hugh actually ended up being scalped and killed by indians. Hugh Glass died in 1833 following an attack by the Arikara tribe. A Sculpture depicting Hugh Glass and the infamous bear attack can be found near the site of that attack in the town of Lemmon, South Dakota.

1) what "argument"? It's called a joke kiddo. The wording alone made it blatantly obvious as to what it was. You don't need emojis, text acronyms or other such things to recognize it as such unless you believe Poe's Law applies 100% of the time.
2) Excuse you, I'm a *centrist* through and through (#Independant). One from New Jersey, as a matter of fact, and I see very little difference between the left and right. Both rely on the same strategy of "run smear campaigns against your rivals and attempt to make yourself look like a saint", both are regularly known to cut funding to public necessities like schools, hospitals and the like so they can have bigger paychecks, both sides have actively stonewalled ideas they themselves agree with because of who proposed it and both are as unreliable as it gets when it comes to living up to what they promised in exchange for your vote.
3) In what ways has Trump helped the economy exactly? His decision to ignore inflation altogether? His lack of any real influence on the job market? Was it his lack of forethought before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the States? Or perhaps it was the fact that rather than federally legalizing marijuana (and giving it the same stipulations as alcohol), which would open up new jobs and deal a hefty financial blow to smugglers, street dealers and drug cartels in one fell swoop (a concept that has historical precedence in the form of the Mafia and independent bootleggers during the prohibition era), he put everything towards a wall that can be rendered moot through the use of boats, aircraft and old fashioned tunneling.
@JT tl;dr
LordNul1: makes a joke fueled by skepticism in Trump's "competence" as a leader
JT: takes it seriously and then fails to back up their argument
LordNul1: time to teach this idiot the centrist perspective on this matter.
And before you say anything, yes, I would say the same had it been Hillary, Biden, Sanders or Obama doing it. Doubly so given how we haven't had a competent leader in decades. From prohibition, the Vietnam war and Watergate to the Patriot Act, Obamacare and the Wall, there's been a lot of ideas that can easily be recognized as having failed or backfired down the line.

I heard a version of the story that had Glass confronting Fitzgerald but instead an eye for an eye he chose to forgive his betrayer and took the higher ground, thus making himself even more badass than someone who definitely could have enacted revenge.
That's what happened in the movie
I don't want go the shop when it snows ,hats of for the content sir ,a triumph make no mistake
Couldn't he have offered the Pawnee the vermilion before they burned the other dude?
I swear lol, must have spat at them or was the only one to kill somebody
@@aaasdghj1 the book says his friend shot at the indians when they came towards them on horses. He shot and killed the horse. But im not sure about this because the video claims he was lit on fire but the book says he was shot in the chest with 3 arrows immediately after taking out their horse. But im not sure
I guess he didn’t think bout it,till he was on the chopping block!
@@funky-puppet
I will go with this, it's called pressure to perform!...
Yep! My thoughts too
Basically Hugh Glass was the luckiest unlucky person in history. Or maybe it's the other way around.
Nope, that title belongs to this man czcams.com/video/dZyUWLW7kEI/video.html
SSPspaz a
Nimbus55, Hahah wow. That's impressive!
SSPsaz: It wasn't luck IMO. It was his determination to survive.
Grandpa the Grey, sure Hugh Glass certainly had plenty determination to survive, but how many others have had similar determination only for their lives to be cut short? I agree with you, but will to survive and preparedness can only takes you so far.
Certain things, like being in exactly the right/wrong place at exactly the right/wrong time, have nothing to do with someone's will to survive because it's totally out of their control. If the stories are true, this man either had an extraordinary amount of luck, or he was fated/destined to survive his ordeal for one reason or another. For instance, if the grizzly had dug into his back in just a slightly different place, he would've been paralyzed and died alone in the woods. There's plenty of good fortune involved in his story, in addition to his clear knowledge of bushcraft.
This is one type of Glass not even death cannot break.
Steven Rinella has said on a couple occasions that Hugh Glass wasn’t motivated to get revenge and it’s actually a story of forgiveness. I haven’t checked but I’m not going to go against Steve on this one or very much when it comes to hunting/trapping historical events
It’s unfortunate that he didn’t get his revenge, but at the same time his rage & need for revenge is what made him survive.
Just like Darth Maul
Exactly
Why did he particularly need/ deserve revenge? There was no friendship therefor no betrayal. This was in his head, whether purposely perched or not.
@@josephososkie3029 But to be left alone for dead? I think that'd be pretty motivating.
That dude was so pissed he lived by eating rocks and drinking dirt.
God damn, lol
Dumbest thing ive ever read...im still laffing about it
@@raidenwolfe6495 ok can you do what he did?
@@raidenwolfe6495 "laffing"
He survived all of that for revenge, the most sith thing i ever heard
Great video bro. Liked and subscribed. Keep them coming
The happy background music is a really weird choice with this story
@Smile Big
I thought it was odd to, but i also like it lol.
A Bad Company tune or two, would have better.
Damn, this story is so much better.
THIS should've been the movie. Not that the movie wasn't good, but this is so much better.
so Hugh crawls 600 miles trying to get revenge for his son, only to be told he can't do shit?
*credits roll*
For real. The book sucked too
@@CelineCatalina98 they don't mention his son in this video. He was out for revenge for being left for dead not his son. No mention of it.
Are there documents of this?
I just watched the movie again on Netflix and it was horrific enough. It’s hard to imagine how in the world Glass survived it all.
Movie was good, book was great, such a cool story, thank you for the video
Weird History: Gigantic mistake in your narration. Glass's maggot infested back was done on purpose by Glass himself. This manly man knew every trick in the art of survival & knew maggots ONLY eat dead or infected tissue. Glass came across a rotted log covered in maggots & PURPOSELY laid down on the log in order to let the maggots eat infected tissue from his wounded back. Other than finding food, cleaning the infection from his largest & most severe wound was the single most important action Glass took in his miraculous survival.
Grandpa the Grey , you do know the glass story is complete crap. Read my first comment then evaluate with reason. Oh you people and your great white hope fantasies.
really great white hope huh...
tuco Ramirez , what r u talking about? You don't really believe that story do you. I'm not black. I'm Juan.
tuco Ramirez , pro sports are living proof black people are more physically capable of doing the impossible you pendejo. Don't hate on my black brothers and sisters.

Lol you guys really don't understand the sarcasm of this comment
@@theghost3061 no it's sarcasm
According to a recent doc. about this incident, Jim Bridger felt so guilty, and was so apologetic to Glass that even Glass felt sorry for the young Bridger. Jim Bridger from that moment on, after Glass forgave him, changed his life and emulated and patterned the rest of his life after Hugh Glass, and arguably became the most famous mountain man who ever lived. When Glass caught up to Fitzgerald at his army post, the captain of the post said that Glass would be executed if he killed Fitzgerald. The army captain did make Fitzgerald give back Glass' rifle. Glass did warn Fitzgerald before he left, that he better stay in the army, because if he ever left the army, Glass said he would kill Fitzgerald. The story of Hugh Glass in my mind is an astounding story of survival and revenge. A man's man who left his mark on American lore.
What an incredible story!
The maggot part sounds bad but they saved his life.
Amazing, I hadn't heard that. But parasites are usually symbiotic in nature and can often be beneficial to us. They eat toxins and things that can contribute to dysbiosis and general metabolic dysfunction. When the job is done they normally leave. We're largely made up of other organisms but we've been led to believe they're the boogeyman.
Leeches give off an antibiotic so they can't cause infections to those they bite and also have been used to keep the blood circulating in and around severe injuries of humans to help heal faster and minimize the scars that will follow. Scars are caused by blood vessels having to reroute in the healing process.
Maggots that help are actually special maggots raised in a completely germ free sterile environment. Normal everyday maggots will kill you.
@@markburch6253 So he got lucky getting the proper maggots?
@@twiley3530 ...the fact is we don't know the extent of his maggot problem. Some maggots only eat necrotic tissue. Some maggots eat only live tissue. Some maggots eat both. All maggots born in the "wild" are vector agents. Vector agents are one of the worlds leading causes of death in human being.
The internet continues to perpetuate the MYTH that maggots only eat dead flesh. That is not true. One of the worst things that could happen to a person back then was to get screwfly maggots in an open wound.
When I said "special" maggots I mean hospitals only use maggots of the species of flies that are known to only eat necrotic tissue.

Unbreakable by nature.....
Split by movie
@@angeljusto2736 hell yeah
Gee that was deep!
So underrated!
Great comment, too smooth probably...

What about Hugh Glass brother, Small Jar?
Underrated
Haha
😂😂
You mean Mason Jar?
Hahahhahah
I'm not a Leonardo Di Caprio fan but that was his best movie by far!!
so far i like this channel
That was some very unfitting background music.
Thinking the same thing lol
He should put some Derek Trucks instrumental music as bgm, it would fit perfectly to this video.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏿 I agree bro!
It’s very cartoonish with the story I could see old Disney making a movie out of it pre-frozen era
It needs Sabaton.
The feats of Hugh Glass were monumental, but his noble deed of forgiving the young inexperienced Jim Bridger make him nearly a God.
God bless a man like glass
It just finnished watching the movie and I got this recommended.
