Yes, 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: which you're proud or sad? 24 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: Is my microphone not working perfectly? That's what it kind 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: of felt like right there. 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: I wanted to really makes I wanted to be very clear. 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: I wanted all people, all listeners, to understand four out 28 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: of seven. 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: Right, which it took Clay and I a while to 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: understand that it was right down the middle, because when 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: I say four out of seven, somehow that. 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 4: Just seems sounds like you're on the back end. 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: If you had to just say something at four in 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: one out of seven, I'd go low. 35 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: But now round up. No, when you put that way, 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: it well, it feels a little. 37 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: My daughter took the Colson all the actual point breakout 38 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: numbers one through seven, and so that my daughter took 39 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 2: the numbers and did some math. I wasn't following the math, 40 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: and she said that, like just straight score wise, we 41 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: actually were like way higher, like we were more up 42 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: into the top three as far as score goes than 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: in the bottom three. Does that make sense, Yeah. 44 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: Well, way, if you're at four and you went way higher, 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: yeah to three, there's just a bigger way higher. 46 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: The numbers were a lot closer in the top four 47 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: than they were in the bottom. 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: Perhaps you should explain, Perhaps you should try to put 49 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: your arms around the contest seven. 50 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 3: What were you doing seven teams. Each team consists of 51 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 3: three people, plus you have. 52 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, like they call them team managers. 53 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: Team managers, which would be kind of like a range officer, 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: which is a RO is a common termy here in 55 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: these shooting competitions of which this is my second ever. 56 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: And they were representatives of SIG, employees of SIG yep, yep. 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: So there were there seven stages every day, correct, so 58 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 3: plus a night shoot. 59 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: Plus two stages at night yep. 60 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: So, and it's all you know, it's live ammunition obviously, 61 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: so it's all these teams are spread out. You have 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: to stick to a strict time calendar, time schedule which 63 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: allows for teams to like travel through like lines of 64 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: fire essentially. So it's really seriously orchestrated that logistically very 65 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: impressive deal. 66 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: But you had roughly twenty minutes to walk somewhere between 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: a half pound a mile between stages. Everybody had to 68 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: walk carrying their own gear, lunch water, and then once 69 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: you got to the stage, you had about twenty minutes 70 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: to get the brief and then the allotted time for 71 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: the actual stage, so you'd have five or ten minutes 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: of like, hey, this is what's going on walk the course, 73 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: look at it. Here's the guns, get familiar with them, 74 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: and then okay, we have ten minutes to finish this. 75 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 2: The bell is going to start. And then at ten 76 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: minutes we're done and we start walking to the next stage. 77 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: And then there's the scoring. I still don't truly understand, 78 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 3: but there's a time component of how quickly you can 79 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: complete the stage. And then there's an accuracy component that 80 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: you know, was mostly summed up as hits or missiles versus. 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: Like like how good you hit? Yeah, exactly, and you 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: were saying the way they had it rigged with a 83 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: timing component on some of these timing was weighted so heavily. Yeah, 84 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: you could have just shot all your shots in the 85 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: air and ran in won. 86 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: Yes, you could have hedged your bets because if you 87 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: added up the penalties for missus, they still wouldn't hurt you. 88 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: You would be way better off just being like cool, 89 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: I'll take all the penalties and I'll see you at 90 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: the next stage, versus the added time on top of 91 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: the penalties to try to shoot those targets. 92 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: Right, was there any long distance shooting? 93 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 5: There was at Yann hit it on the first shot, Yeah. 94 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, in a mile and he still took fourth place. 95 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, only two people out of all the teams hit 96 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: it hit a twenty one. 97 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: But listen, how is the target? Listen as a full 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: size elk. They originally Daniel Horner, who is contracted by 99 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: Say does a lot of stuff with sake. One of 100 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: the better shooters in the world right now. He set this. Yeah, 101 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: he's been on the podcast. He set the course up. 102 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: Originally he was going to put a lot of weight 103 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: into that into that. Those three shots at a mile 104 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: you got to take and. 105 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: All you got to do is get a piece of it. 106 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: You just got to make it go ding. And it 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: was a giant I mean I'm talking a piece of 108 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: steel the size of the stable dang near like not 109 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: one that one one human can move. It took two 110 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: people to move. 111 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: I was saying half a car. 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: And I held left edge. I went up there and 113 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: was like, oh yeah, I got a little bit of 114 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: wind coming from the left. I'm gonna hold left edge 115 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: of the target. And it dings. So I didn't even 116 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: get to shoot two more shots. I got off the 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: gun and someone else stepped in. Well, then whatever it was, 118 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: you were a clay holds left edge and it hits 119 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: like two body lengths, two target lengths to the right, 120 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: two vehicles to the right. Like that's how much it 121 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: changed because of what the wind was doing. Right and 122 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: then so he correct, you know, two car lengths to 123 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: the left and hits way left. 124 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 5: You know. 125 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: And it was in the end they just said that 126 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: it was windy enough, and it was kind of this, 127 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: You're shooting across this long valley that draws coming into it, 128 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 2: and those people that were in there actually trying to 129 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: game it and looking at mirage and stuff said that 130 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 2: you could see maraj go in two different directions, and 131 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 2: it was just so I'm not going to take a 132 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: lot of credit for making a great shot. And there 133 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: was an elevation was pretty much set when you got there. 134 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: They're like, do not touch the elevation turret. It's set 135 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: for to hit that target. Yeah. So this one, you're 136 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: basically just trying to dope the wind. 137 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: Even. 138 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: Our personal firearms for that particular stage. And this is 139 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: how it's different than any of the other competitions I've 140 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: heard of or been to, is at this particular you're 141 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: carrying all of your stuff, including your personal firearm, which 142 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: you're using on a bunch of different stages. But you 143 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: could walk up to a stage and it's like put 144 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: all that stuff down. Here's a like a carbing, like 145 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: we got to shoot like the new Army issue carbing, 146 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: and and here's a ten millimeter pistol. And what you're 147 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: gonna do is you're not going to be able to 148 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: see the targets. But each flag there's a target. Run 149 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: up that up to that flag, find the target, hit 150 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: it twice, make sure your gun's in a safe position. 151 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: Move to the next flag, do the same thing. There's 152 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: ten targets total, put the empty or safe weapon on 153 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: a map that we have out there, and then sprint back. 154 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 3: And when you touch the table, the next person on 155 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: your team goes and does the same thing. There's like 156 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: that type of stage which I thought was super fun, 157 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 3: the relays, and then there's also like the obviously here's 158 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: three targets, and here's like the rough range for each 159 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: of those targets, or here's take a couple of minutes 160 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: to get your dope, shoot those targets with your range finder, 161 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: get your dope, and it's just impacts as many times 162 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 3: you can hit that target, and you have ten ten 163 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: minutes to do it type of thing. 164 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: So what was the bow shooting part of it? Three? 165 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: There were three stages.

Well, it was surprising. We all 315 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: just sat there and shot the six hundred yarder just 316 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: because it was high points, and you know, you do 317 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: the math, and you're like, well, even if I missed one, 318 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: even if I went one for two, I'm gonna make 319 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 2: more points there than if I hit every time at 320 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 2: two hundred yep. And I think we probably shot at 321 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: eighty or ninety percent on the six hundred. It was 322 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: an easy decision. The next day, at the same stage, 323 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: it was changed up. There was pistols and there was fifteen. Yeah, 324 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: there are a lot of targets. I don't know how many, 325 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: but fifteen, maybe even twenty, I don't know. A bunch 326 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: of steels set up on the other side of a 327 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 2: fence from ten yards to fifty yards kind of in 328 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: this array where you had to move along the fence 329 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 2: to be looking straight at him right. 330 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: And this is with a nine millimeter pistol. Yeah, and 331 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 3: you had two clips each holding twenty one each hold 332 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 3: twenty one yep. 333 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: And this was timed and again a relay, so one 334 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 2: guy would pick up the gun, would have it loaded, 335 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 2: kind of run along that fence until you can engage 336 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 2: these targets and move through shooting, and all these targets 337 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 2: with the pistols fasts. You can at the last one. 338 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: The next target at the end was two hundred yards away. 339 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 2: It was worth like three hundred seconds. Again, this is 340 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: where all the I wish I could tell you exactly 341 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: how the scoring was worth. But basically like that one 342 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: target was worth more than all the other ones you 343 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: had just hit. So you had to sprint down there, 344 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 2: shoot it, and then sprint your butt all the way back. 345 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 3: But you could shoot from two hundred yards too with 346 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: your nine milimeter pistol. 347 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: Well, the red dot. 348 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: The red dot. So I cleaned them all and I 349 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: go just to turn, and everybody's like whoa, whoa. Well, 350 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, I gotta give it a couple of tries here, 351 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: And I mean I was like fifty yards off. I 352 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: mean you could see the dust flying way before it. 353 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: So I started correcting. But it just I took three 354 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: or four shots. It wasn't gonna. I still did because 355 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: as long as I mean, I figured I would burn 356 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: up three or four seconds. If you get lucky and 357 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 2: all sudden you hear a ping, then you only have 358 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: three seconds to get back to the start line and 359 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 2: next person can go, you know. But that was fun 360 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: because it really I mean if you ran, which Cal 361 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: and I both did, it was enough that I busted 362 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 2: a couple of blood vessels in my lungs and was 363 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 2: hacking for the next twenty minutes. 364 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, does that mean claydon run? 365 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 3: Clay did not run. 366 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: He had boots on.

Well, it's a little more complicated that. 547 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: For a while, Okay, for a while we had ultro 548 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know what the hell we were using 549 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: for ultra music. For a long time we had ultro 550 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: music from Sheerwater. It's a band that a Sheerwater is 551 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: a bird. There's a band by an there's an ornithologist 552 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: who has a band called Sheerwater. He used to study 553 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: Cara Kara's but he had a song called Wildlife in America. 554 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: And for a long time our ultro music was sort 555 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: of an excerpt from Wildlife in America, which is actually 556 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: about soldiers returning from the war in Iraq in Afghania, 557 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: the wars in Iraq in Afghanistan. That was the ultro music. 558 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: You wouldn't know any of that from listening to it, 559 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: but that's what it was. Then one day we talked 560 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: about something too long and someone made a comment about 561 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: someone made a comment about like you beat that horse 562 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: to death. So then we switched the outro music to 563 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: Christopher Denny's Ride On in which he says, we've done 564 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: beat this damn horse to death.

Christopher Danny one day, somehow oblivious to the 568 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: fact that his song that we licensed his song. Yep. 569 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: It was a hard negotiation, hard to get a hold 570 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: of anybody. We license this song. And one day he 571 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: writes in, Hey, I see you're using my song. Like now, 572 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: that didn't happen easily.

I can't wait. 672 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 6: Man. 673 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: If I had to pick between dirt being alive and 674 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: all you being alive, I'd picked dirt, you know what 675 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying, And I throw myself into that mix. I'd 676 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: rather dirty alive, way more than media life. 677 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: It would be the only person that would make you 678 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 3: feel good somehow about everybody else being dead. He'd be like, 679 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 3: but you know, I. 680 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: Can't think of a time. I can't think of a 681 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: single time in my life. Dirt has ever gone negative. 682 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: Oh that gnome that tried to molest him in Ireland. 683 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that guy that creeped him out big time. 684 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 6: Yeah like that. 685 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: Other than that, dirt's never gone negative. And he wasn't 686 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: even entirely negative about the gnome, not a gnome A 687 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: little yeah, Leprechaun tried to molest him. 688 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 3: Is the only logical conclusion that we could all come to. 689 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's laughing about my face being on the bag 690 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: of a of a listen, my face being on the 691 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: bag of a freeze dry meal. But let me tell 692 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: you why I'm uniquely qualified to have my face on 693 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: the bag of a freeze dry meal. Please, Ken, you're 694 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: supposed to hold that right, Yeah, I'll tell you why 695 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm why I'm uniquely qualified, and why this man before 696 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: any of you guys, while you guys were still when 697 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: you guys were still getting milk from your mama's tea, 698 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: I was eating freeze dry. Not only that, not only that, 699 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: I was writing about freeze dry back when like astronauts 700 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: knew about it many many years ago. I wrote a 701 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: piece for Outside, an exhaustively reported piece on freeze dry food, 702 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: like how it came into use, who the first users were. 703 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: I got into the lurps from Vietnam. I got into 704 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: space travel. I got into how space ice cream has 705 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: gone to space, but no one ever chose to eat 706 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: space ice cream in space. 707 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 11: They just eat it at the Kennedy Space Center like 708 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 11: I did. 709 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: Had it, they had it. And I got into how 710 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: a favorite of the astronauts is shrimp cocktail. I went 711 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: to a freeze dry research facility and the guy says, 712 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: we got everything in here. Try to think of something, 713 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: and I just said, I don't know. And I thought 714 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: from it and I said, capers got it freeze dry. 715 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: As part of my article, I had a bunch of 716 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: people from the food industry come over and we did 717 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: a tasting of all kind of freeze dry. Okay, I 718 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 1: was like the original freeze dry journalist, Well only did 719 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:24,959 Speaker 1: that one piece. 720 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 3: Under that one piece, but you know what I'm saying, 721 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 3: it was so encompassing you the genre I to find. 722 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, you know, there's like a mic drop. Yeah, 723 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: But there's only so much you can say about freeze dry. 724 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: I said it. I went and visited a sublimation chamber. 725 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: So when you're making freeze drive, you make you make 726 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: a meal that's ready. There's different ways of doing it. 727 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: The right way to do it is you cook something 728 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: that's ready to eat. You then spread it on trays 729 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: and freeze it. And the temperature at which you freeze it, 730 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: the humidity at which you freeze it all matters a bunch. 731 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: You then take that and put a in the sublimation chamber, 732 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: pull a vacuum on it, and the water in their sublimates, 733 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: meaning it goes water goes from its solid state to 734 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: its gaseous state, never goes to a liquid state. When 735 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: you pull these sheets out, you could break them like 736 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 1: a pane of glass, grind it all up, throw in 737 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: a sack. That's freeze dry production in a nutshell. One 738 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: thing I learned and the time I spent exploring freeze dry, 739 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: is that certain things are good when you freeze drive, 740 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: and certain things ain't good when you freeze drive. When 741 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: you go to these fancy pants, you know everybody now 742 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: has got some fancy pants freeze dry like seven wild 743 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: mushroom risotto. Listen, I like good food as much as 744 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: the next get A lot of things aren't suitable to 745 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: freeze dry. Meaning, if you made a freeze dry hamburger, 746 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: what are you gonna have when you rehydrate it? The 747 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: burger bun doesn't know when to stop sucking up water, 748 00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: right Like if you want to rehydrate a cheeseburger, the 749 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: bun is it doesn't work like you need stuff that 750 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: Everything wants the same amount of soak. And that's the 751 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: key to a good freeze dry meal. And just because 752 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: seven wild mushroom risotto is good at a restaurant doesn't 753 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: mean it's good out of a sack. Like it doesn't. 754 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: Everything doesn't translate. 755 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 4: It needs a consistent saturation point. 756 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: And it's just certain efforts get wasted. Certain efforts get 757 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: like certain flavors and textures and things that make things good. 758 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: Once you freeze dry it and grind it up and 759 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: throw it in a sack, it goes away. There's just 760 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: certain things that work as freeze drying. I'll tell you 761 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: what works as freeze dry as American buffalo barbecue mac 762 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: and cheese, and then Yanni's more to Yanni's to thank 763 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 1: for this one. It should be Yanni's face on that 764 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: American buffalo goulash. 765 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 3: Instead of this guy right here. If you put your 766 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 3: finger right here, you can act like you're talking. 767 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: Can you do that while I talk? Phil can use 768 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: zero in on that so it's me talking? Sure? Yeah, okay, 769 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: right now? 770 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not picking his nose? 771 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 13: Is it? 772 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 5: Is? 773 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: It zoomed? Right Phil? 774 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:08,320 Speaker 5: It's not zoomed. 775 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 2: But I'm on cal. 776 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: Here's why I use that. I'm a big supporter of 777 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: the animal. I'm a big support of American buffalo. Nine 778 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: four percent of the buffalo or bison in North America 779 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: that exists today are privately owned. I don't like the 780 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: captive servant industry none. There's no way I would do 781 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna do. I would never like do 782 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: an elk freeze dry of veniceon freeze Rik because I 783 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: don't like captive servants. There. But private owners save the 784 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: American buffalo from extinction. If it wasn't for private owners 785 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,439 Speaker 1: like we would not have them at all, or would 786 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: barely have them. In terms of returning to the animals, 787 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: to the landscape. It's largely fallen to private landowners to 788 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: return the animals to the landscape. So I support the 789 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: you know, I liked support bison ranchers, bison farmers. That's why. 790 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: That's the way it is. And goulash is one of 791 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 1: those things that works. Keep going, you're gonna wear wear 792 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: a hole in that bag. Goulash is one of those 793 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: things that works. Is freeze dry. Do you know what 794 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think it was Yanni's idea. 795 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 2: It wasn't it a long time ago. I think when we, uh. 796 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 5: Be honest, you're not looking at Steven the eye. 797 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 2: When we when we did, my eyes were up here, 798 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 2: and we did submissions for flavors. 799 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a meat that matters. Is the 800 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: if you got to buy a meat, it's the coolest 801 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: meat to buy outside of wild caught salmon. But I know, 802 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: but salmon, that's not a freeze dry food. I'm sure 803 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: someone does it. I don't think of sam. There's salmon jerky, 804 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: salmon jerky, No, it's not free it's good freeze dry 805 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 1: red meat, salmon chowder, red meat, ground up, ground up, 806 00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: red meat. 807 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 2: But chicken does well. 808 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: I disagree. 809 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 2: And it doesn't belong and it doesn't belong on a 810 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 2: pizza either. 811 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: Red meat ground up. I agree that red meat ground up. 812 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: That's why right here, when you want to go get 813 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 1: a thinking man's freeze dry from a freeze dry expert, 814 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: former freeze dry journalist. 815 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 4: If you're a thinking man and you want to look 816 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 4: another thinking man in the eyes while you eat your 817 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 4: freeze dry, now. 818 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 1: Listen, if you want to have a conversation with your 819 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: bag while you're alone in the hills, cows fingers. 820 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 2: To me, it's just you and maybe not the crew 821 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 2: on here. Because one of our favorite, one of our 822 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 2: favorite activities. When we've eaten a lot of other freeze 823 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 2: dries made by another company, there's multiple people sitting around 824 00:43:54,600 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 2: a stove and they have these expressions that don't necessarily 825 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 2: like let you know exactly what they're thinking or exactly 826 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 2: what the joke is. And we have spent hours probably 827 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 2: looking at these labels and deciding what is going on, 828 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: what is going on there in that scene, And I think, 829 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 2: even though it's not quite the same, but this lends 830 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 2: itself to the same thing. So if you want to 831 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 2: have fun with your friends in the back country, cal. 832 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 4: Pointed out that you can.

So yeah, 865 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 7: The Working for Wildlife Tour is something I kicked off 866 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 7: last year, which was kind of coming out of just 867 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 7: a realization I had just kind of looking out across 868 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 7: the country and hearing about different volunteer events going on 869 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 7: being put on by BHA or the NDA or Trout 870 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 7: Unlimited or whatever it is. You see a picture from 871 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 7: one of these events and there'd be like six people, 872 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 7: and I thought to myself, Man, these are such great events. 873 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 7: There's such good work going on. I believe there's great 874 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 7: things coming from them, but not enough folks hear about it. 875 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 7: Not enough people are going out and doing these things. 876 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 7: So I thought, what's some way we could help bring 877 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 7: more attention to that and kind of inspire more folks 878 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 7: to get out there and do it. So I decided 879 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 7: I'll to start doing it myself. So this tour was 880 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 7: the idea is to go around the country collaborating with 881 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 7: various nonprofit organizations to help, you know, organize these events, 882 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 7: promote these events, and then I go to them myself 883 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 7: and volunteer all day with folks. You know, meet everyone, 884 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 7: talk to folks, have a great time, and document it 885 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 7: all and then tell those stories afterwards. So what kind of. 886 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,919 Speaker 2: Projects I can test? Let me tell you. I went 887 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 2: to one last year down in Kentucky. We went down 888 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 2: there and collected five gown bucket upon five gown bucket 889 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 2: of white a white oak acorns, and those were collected 890 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 2: to then be grown in a nursery oak nursery. 891 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: If you live by Clay's house, he's talking about acorns. 892 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,919 Speaker 2: Acorns, that's right, and then to be planted back into 893 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,320 Speaker 2: the Daniel Boone National Forest. 894 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: So where were you wandering around collecting acorns? Daniel Blue 895 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,839 Speaker 1: National Forest and then you were gonna they were gonna 896 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: propagate them. 897 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, some folks had scouted them so they knew some 898 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 2: spots to go to. It was very educational for me, 899 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 2: you know, as a deer hunter. We got to like 900 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,359 Speaker 2: it was cool, and the community aspect of it was great. 901 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 2: I mean you're sitting around literally sitting because there's so 902 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 2: many of them, it's so thick. You can just sit 903 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 2: down and collect acorns, and you're talking to people from 904 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 2: the you know community. 905 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 7: So instead of six people going out there collecting acorns, 906 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 7: we had sixty or something like that, and we collected 907 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 7: between seven hundred and eight hundred pounds of these acorns, 908 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,800 Speaker 7: which were then propagated. I went and visited that nursery 909 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 7: a couple of weeks ago. We have fifteen thousand oak 910 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 7: seedlings now growing. 911 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: What was the success rate? Did you find out a 912 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: corn like like what percentage? Actually, well, we're said were 913 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 1: viable and took and all that. 914 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 7: I don't know off the top of my head. 915 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: No, but I do know the to help a lot 916 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 1: more acorns than that. 917 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,759 Speaker 7: Yeah, so fifteen thousand trees are growing some and then 918 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 7: we're going to go back next spring and help reforce 919 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 7: parts of the national force. 920 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: So that's how how big they got to get them 921 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 1: for they put them back. 922 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 2: In the ground. 923 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 7: Well, right now they're about six inches tall. By next spring, 924 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 7: I think it'll be more like a foot. 925 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 1: They worried about just the deer. You're going to annihilate them. 926 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 7: That's definitely a thing. I don't know about what kind 927 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 7: of protection they may or may not be using when 928 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 7: we plant, but yeah, so that's an example. 929 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 1: Dirt will give you an earful about that. 930 00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,839 Speaker 2: You know something I learned down there. Did you know 931 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 2: when you find an acorn with the cap on it, 932 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 2: it's an aborted acorn. No, whoa, I'm hoping that's what 933 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 2: we learned, right. They were like, if you can't pick 934 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,240 Speaker 2: up the ones that don't have their caps on him anymore. 935 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 1: Like, it didn't come to it didn't. It didn't come 936 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:19,760 Speaker 1: to maturity. 937 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 7: I remember we were searching out with acorns. 938 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: I always preferred those ones. Yeah, big old white with 939 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 1: no cap. Yeah. 940 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,720 Speaker 7: We were also looking to make sure that we're weavil 941 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 7: holes in them and stuff. 942 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 2: Like that, and that they hadn't sprouted yet either. I 943 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 2: think that was it. 944 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 5: Which when they went to the nursery, they probably put 945 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 5: them all in water and you can find out if 946 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 5: you're viable or not, like by floating them. Yeah, I 947 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 5: think the ones that aren't viable float I think I 948 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 5: think that's right. 949 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 7: It was very cool, but we did that. We went 950 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 7: two weeks ago. We were in Pennsylvania and I just 951 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,839 Speaker 7: I got an email this morning kind of that quantified 952 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,720 Speaker 7: what we did. Seventeen hundred feet of like ten foot 953 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 7: tall fencing was removed, Fourteen bluebird boxes were installed, two 954 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 7: wildlife planting fences were guarded. 955 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: You're on the air, can you. 956 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,799 Speaker 3: Put the phone in front of your phone, in front 957 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 3: of the microphone, Steve the speaker. 958 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, there you go. 959 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: If if an acorn, if you find an acorn laying 960 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 1: on the ground a corn. Yeah, Me and Doug about 961 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,239 Speaker 1: quit being friends over an acorn fight one time. Listen 962 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: or acorn argument. If you find an acorn laying on 963 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: the ground and his cap is still on him, does 964 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 1: that mean it was aborted and it's not viable? Complete conjecture, No, 965 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: but he qualified conjecture. Yeah. Uh, it means to me 966 00:50:53,800 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: that it dropped early and that cap has to dryn't 967 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:08,719 Speaker 1: fall off yet, but it could still be viable, Thanks Doug. Okay, 968 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 1: basically on. 969 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 2: From the top, we got we got sidetracked there. 970 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 7: So in this particular day two weeks ago in Pennsylvania, 971 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 7: we removed seventeen hundred feet of ten foot tall fencing 972 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 7: that was originally put up decades ago, back when the 973 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 7: tall about ten. 974 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: Foot For what purpose was that? 975 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,400 Speaker 7: So this is pretty interesting was this stage, this is 976 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 7: National Forest, Pennsylvania. Back twenty thirty years ago, deer populations 977 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 7: were so high that if you wanted any kind of 978 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 7: regrowth that all had they still do it. In this 979 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 7: case though, they don't want so. 980 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,479 Speaker 1: They did an exclosure and it just decayed and yep, 981 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:51,799 Speaker 1: and now it's keeping. 982 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 7: Deer another wildlife out of an area they want them 983 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 7: and got it. So we removed almost two thousand feet 984 00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 7: of that, which was a job, planted fifty trees and shrubs, 985 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 7: installed fourteen bluebird boxes, planted twenty five button bush button bushes, 986 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 7: and then installed a new set of two hundred and 987 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 7: forty feet of fencing around some of these new plantings 988 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 7: to protect them in those early growth stages. So we've 989 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 7: done things like that. We were in Massachusetts outside of Boston. 990 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 7: We did collected literally a ton two thousand pounds of 991 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 7: trash on a WMA. We worked on aspenstin restorations in 992 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 7: northern Idaho. 993 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 1: We created I. 994 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 7: Think eighteen brush piles for small game habitat and improved 995 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 7: sixteen acres of openings in a state forest. In northern Michigan. 996 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,880 Speaker 7: We did a great project in Mississippi on the I 997 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,919 Speaker 7: can't remember the name of the national forest down there, 998 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 7: but planted something like two hundred and fifty apple trees, 999 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 7: worked on gopher tortoise habitat. There was all these different 1000 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 7: kinds of very cool projects. You learn a lot, you 1001 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 7: meet an incredible number of like minded people, and you 1002 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 7: come away from these events just full, like your cup 1003 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 7: is full all this new energy and really really cool stories. 1004 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 7: Like I've heard so many stories from people that went 1005 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 7: to an event like this, having never participated in something 1006 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 7: like that before, never really thought they'd want to, but 1007 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 7: heard about it like, oh sure, I'll go give it 1008 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 7: a shot. And it leads to the snowball effect with 1009 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,239 Speaker 7: more and more things happening. So I just met a 1010 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 7: guy at didn't meet him, saw him again at the 1011 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,920 Speaker 7: BHA rendezvous.

I never participated, never volunteered before, 1014 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 7: but I did it, came out there, came away from 1015 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 7: that feeling so charged up and wanted to do more. 1016 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,800 Speaker 7: I decided to get involved with that local chapter of BHA. 1017 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 7: Asked if there's any more events, Well, there were some 1018 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 7: more things started going to those. I enjoyed that so 1019 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,320 Speaker 7: much more. When I found out there was an opening 1020 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 7: on the state board, I joined and became a state 1021 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 7: board member. I did that for the rest of the year. 1022 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 7: I have become so charged up with what this has 1023 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 7: led to that now I'm retiring from the Navy.

That wouldn't have happened if 1029 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 7: it hadn't been that. So there's been multiple things like 1030 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 7: that that are very exciting and we're hoping to keep 1031 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,480 Speaker 7: it going.

And then he's also been on 1199 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 7: groundhog duty with a seventeen which he has, which he's 1200 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 7: done very well with. We had a problem. 1201 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 2: You have plans for squirrel hunting. 1202 01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure we will. Yeah, cool, Yeah, good deal. Yeah 1203 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 1: he should come out and ground hunt. My boy's got 1204 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:10,000 Speaker 1: a real hot groundhog, not groundhog, ground squirrel permission right now. 1205 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 7: He would love it. 1206 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,320 Speaker 1: And they kind of turned it into like the he's 1207 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 1: that the people that have him doing this have turned 1208 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 1: it into the heat single handedly saving their horses through 1209 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,440 Speaker 1: a rather convoluted process. He'll appreciate this rand because it 1210 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 1: involves a badger. Their take is that they got too 1211 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:33,760 Speaker 1: many ground squirrels, which lures in badgers, which dig holes, 1212 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: which are going to kill the horses, therefore saving horses, 1213 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 1: which is all he needed to hear. What he needed 1214 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,440 Speaker 1: to hear is he gets the hunt ground squirrels, but 1215 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,360 Speaker 1: he needed a way to sell it to the old man. 1216 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: And upon hearing this heart rendering story about saving the 1217 01:02:55,640 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 1: family's horses, how could I say no, got him out 1218 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:05,160 Speaker 1: of needing to eat those squirrels. 1219 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 2: Everybody radation. Okay, it's a job. 1220 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,720 Speaker 7: So my kids have now I've I've kind of wrestled 1221 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 7: with that question, like, you know, I want them to 1222 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,680 Speaker 7: get experience doing this things, doing these things, but at 1223 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 7: the same time, you know, you can't just wantingly shoot 1224 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 7: a bunch of stuff. So one part of the process now, 1225 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 7: like if we've shoot a groundhog, we have to dissect it, 1226 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 7: learn all about it, and then a fun new thing 1227 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 7: we're doing is seeing what happens afterwards. So we go 1228 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 7: and we'll leave like a part of the groundhog groundhog 1229 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 7: carcass out in the woods and then set up trail 1230 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 7: cameras on it to then watch and see what who's 1231 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,760 Speaker 7: going to use this next? How does that change over 1232 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 7: two weeks versus six weeks? And that's been fun, that's 1233 01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 7: really cool. 1234 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, if Mark was everybody's dad this world, the world 1235 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't be such a mess.

And so I came with this idea that 1332 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 1: what I could do from now on, like as a 1333 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,920 Speaker 1: future business line when I retire or whatever, is read 1334 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:48,200 Speaker 1: books so you ain't got to this doozy listen. 1335 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:49,800 Speaker 2: Above the Arctic circle. 1336 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,760 Speaker 1: Oh can I talk about something different? First? A friend 1337 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,800 Speaker 1: of mine wrote this, look at this book. I'm not 1338 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,280 Speaker 1: going to read this or you ain't got you because 1339 01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 1: it's a guidebook. Bill Carmon who's a was with Rocky 1340 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 1: Mountain Note Foundation check this out. Talk about a novel 1341 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:09,160 Speaker 1: idea fishing with Daniel Boone fly Fishing the Streams of 1342 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: an American Hero. So, if you're into Daniel Boone lore 1343 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 1: about like, oh, you know one day he killed seventeen 1344 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 1: bears on the Big Sandy or was raised on the 1345 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:22,360 Speaker 1: Upper Yadkin whatever he lays out, hire and go fish 1346 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,880 Speaker 1: those places so you can fish there and then read 1347 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 1: all about what happened there. So and so got killed 1348 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: right over yonder tryum peasant. That's a great idea for 1349 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,799 Speaker 1: the book. If you live around if you live around Kentucky, Tennessee, 1350 01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,479 Speaker 1: Kentucky in particular, you like to fish, this will infuse 1351 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,000 Speaker 1: all your fishing with all kinds of history. 1352 01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,320 Speaker 3: It's almost like a roadside geology type of Take right, 1353 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 3: I call him Bill Carmen William F. 1354 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: Carmon fly Fishing the Streams of an American Hero. 1355 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,799 Speaker 3: And then you're kind of ripping off like cliffs notes 1356 01:09:58,880 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 3: for your your idea. 1357 01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 1: Well, no, because I don't. Actually, when I do this segment, 1358 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 1: Steve Read's books that you ain't got to. I don't. 1359 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,640 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you the parts that really grab me. 1360 01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 1: It's not like a summation of buck goes on. But 1361 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,839 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this is a guy James A. Carroll 1362 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:18,320 Speaker 1: The Alaska Journals of James A. Carroll, nineteen eleven nineteen 1363 01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:22,080 Speaker 1: twenty two. He's a cook. He cooks that logging camps 1364 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,640 Speaker 1: in Minnesota and eventually winds up up in Alaska. So 1365 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,200 Speaker 1: he winds up in Alaska. I need to put my 1366 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:31,680 Speaker 1: spectacles on. He winds up up in Alaska nineteen eleven 1367 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,599 Speaker 1: seeking work as a cook, but becomes a fur trapper 1368 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,760 Speaker 1: and has a lot of amazing adventures. And what I 1369 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:47,439 Speaker 1: like about the book in particular is, uh, he looks 1370 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:53,600 Speaker 1: at everything through a food lens. He's very astute about food. 1371 01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:59,280 Speaker 1: He gets into gets into. At one point one of 1372 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,160 Speaker 1: his cooking techniques, he's bragging up how good he is 1373 01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 1: at cooking. I could bake anything with the reflector, pies, biscuits, etc. 1374 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,559 Speaker 1: I used to cook our beans in a bean hole. 1375 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 1: Way for this, I used to cook our beans in 1376 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 1: a bean hole. This bean hole is made by digging 1377 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 1: a hole in the ground three feet by two feet. 1378 01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 1: I would fill this hole full of small cut wood. 1379 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: When all the wood burned down to hot coals. I 1380 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 1: would rake a hole in these hot coals and set 1381 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 1: the bean pot into the center and rake the hot 1382 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,600 Speaker 1: coals back over the pot. Then I would cover it 1383 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 1: all over a six or eight inches of dirt. You 1384 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 1: know why this turns out so good? He says, He 1385 01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 1: buries it so deep. Quote none of the flavors could escape. Okay, 1386 01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:58,400 Speaker 1: ready for this. This is when he's up in Alaska. 1387 01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,880 Speaker 1: He's got a guy who hangs out. I would name Riyger, 1388 01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 1: who raises hogs. Okay, in the early evening hours, Riger, 1389 01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 1: this is all on the Yukon. In the early evening hours. 1390 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 1: Riger invited me down to the river bank. He wanted 1391 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: to show me how he fed his hogs. He wanted 1392 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 1: to show me how I fed his hogs. Right from 1393 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:24,759 Speaker 1: the river, Birch Creek teamed with fish of all kinds, 1394 01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 1: predominantly pike. As soon as Riger reached for his fishing pole, 1395 01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,280 Speaker 1: it would alert all the pigs and they would come 1396 01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 1: running from all directions. Sometimes they would run between his 1397 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 1: legs and nearly trip Riger. It seemed almost as soon 1398 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 1: as Rieger's spoon hit the water, a pike would grab it. 1399 01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 1: Riger had a club to kill the fish as soon 1400 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,840 Speaker 1: as he dragged it to shore. In the meantime, the 1401 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,280 Speaker 1: pigs were all squealing up and down the bank waiting 1402 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: for their supper of fish. The hogs would fight over 1403 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,720 Speaker 1: the pike. It would take him about an hour. Now 1404 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm skipping ahead. It would take him about an hour 1405 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:09,080 Speaker 1: to feed his herd of hogs. Now he dubs this 1406 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,240 Speaker 1: operation Riiger's Ranch. 1407 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,240 Speaker 5: I wonder if those hogs are fishy, taste. 1408 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:21,719 Speaker 1: Well, funny? You should ask listen to this tidbit. Okay, 1409 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 1: it so hold that in mind for mix. He has 1410 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,560 Speaker 1: another there's another food tipping. No, I'll get to your question. Okay. 1411 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,880 Speaker 1: They got a guy in their camp that doesn't want 1412 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,599 Speaker 1: to eat bear meat. It says he can't eat bear meat. 1413 01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:40,680 Speaker 1: So so James Carroll, the author, kills a bear and 1414 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna serve it. But there's this guy that doesn't 1415 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,559 Speaker 1: want to eat bear meat. So James Carroll cooks a 1416 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 1: bunch of bear meat. Says he had a camp hunter, 1417 01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:53,960 Speaker 1: Bill Bill Hogshead was the camp hunter brings a small 1418 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 1: black bear in to camp. He's gonna make a pot 1419 01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:00,439 Speaker 1: roast out of the bear. Okay, so he cuts the 1420 01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 1: bear's ribs into short ribs, puts him in a pot. 1421 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 1: The guy that comes in that doesn't like beary me 1422 01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,639 Speaker 1: asks what's in a pot. He tells him it's short 1423 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,240 Speaker 1: ribs from Ryger's ranch. He says, no, it's not. Don't 1424 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:20,920 Speaker 1: smell like fish. On the night we can't with mister Stead. 1425 01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,439 Speaker 1: He fried us up a lot of caribou steak for 1426 01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,880 Speaker 1: our supper. Being a cook myself, I observed how he 1427 01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 1: went about preparing it. While Stead stood over the cookstove 1428 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:34,479 Speaker 1: watching the steaks of caribou cook, he would comb his 1429 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,640 Speaker 1: beard with the same fork he turned the steaks with. 1430 01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:42,719 Speaker 1: He did this unconsciously. I learned a new wrinkle about 1431 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,080 Speaker 1: bread baking from Stead. He had a large batch of 1432 01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:49,200 Speaker 1: bread raising in a big tin dishpan with a yellow 1433 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 1: tom cat sleeping on top of the dough. I thought 1434 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,320 Speaker 1: the cat was sleeping where it shouldn't, so I told 1435 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:59,400 Speaker 1: Stead the cat was sleeping on his bread. Oh, that's nothing. 1436 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,519 Speaker 1: There is always a dishcloth between the dough and the 1437 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:09,040 Speaker 1: cat to keep the dough clean. He the narrator, complains 1438 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,120 Speaker 1: to another guy about it. The guy says, that's where 1439 01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:21,639 Speaker 1: the cat always sleeps. Ready for this, there's a guy 1440 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,240 Speaker 1: that splits wood in town and for a Yukon. He 1441 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 1: splits and sells wood to people in town, but someone 1442 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:30,240 Speaker 1: keeps working the wood off his pile. He drills. He 1443 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 1: takes an augur bit and drills out a bunch of 1444 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,519 Speaker 1: wood and packs it full of gunpowder and sets it 1445 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 1: on top of the pile. Quickly finds the thief, blows 1446 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 1: the burns the thief's house down. What else Here's so 1447 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna talk about. Then scratched it out, which 1448 01:15:55,200 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 1: makes me wonder what it was ready for this he 1449 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 1: would get as drunk as a boiled owl. 1450 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,640 Speaker 2: I've only seen Mark is drunk as a boiled. 1451 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:19,479 Speaker 1: Owl one time. The other day, I said in the 1452 01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 1: Vicara of the Brush Country, Oh, Crinny forgot to remind me. 1453 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:23,479 Speaker 10: I was just gonna remind you. 1454 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:25,920 Speaker 1: Okay, there's two things from Vicaro of a Brush Country 1455 01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: terms that I didn't tell people about. You know what 1456 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 1: you call it buck old mossy horns. You've made this 1457 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,000 Speaker 1: from Michigan. Yeah. I used to think that when you 1458 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:39,760 Speaker 1: call the buck old mossy horns, people were losing track 1459 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,960 Speaker 1: of the fact that bucks shed their antlers, and we 1460 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,599 Speaker 1: would say that's where old mossy horns lives. Like what 1461 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 1: when you hear old mossy horns being from Michigan, what 1462 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,519 Speaker 1: do you think you're saying about that buck? 1463 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,000 Speaker 7: Big old swamp buck yep old is the biggest thing 1464 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 7: and so old and big that he had moscar on 1465 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:00,000 Speaker 7: his antlers. 1466 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,120 Speaker 1: You know what it means, well, I learned this in 1467 01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:08,720 Speaker 1: vicarea of the brush country. When a long horn gets old, 1468 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:15,640 Speaker 1: the sheen on that horn starts to break apart, like 1469 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 1: he's got smooth horn, but growing from the base outward. 1470 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,599 Speaker 1: Eventually it gets like that sheen breaks and it gets 1471 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 1: kind of crumbly over time from exposure to the sun 1472 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:27,320 Speaker 1: and weather, and he becomes old mossy horns. He's so 1473 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:31,760 Speaker 1: old that it becomes like a like a brittlely kind 1474 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:36,120 Speaker 1: of hairy coating on that horn. That's what old mossy 1475 01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:36,559 Speaker 1: horns is. 1476 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:37,320 Speaker 7: That is interesting. 1477 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:43,800 Speaker 1: He also says, he says there there was more of 1478 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:51,759 Speaker 1: something than fiddlers in hell. Drunk is a boiled owl. 1479 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,439 Speaker 1: Here he's trapping, he traps. You know, you know what 1480 01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:00,320 Speaker 1: you hear about caribou herds, the porcupine herds of the 1481 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:04,400 Speaker 1: Porcupine River. I remember one time I had three poor 1482 01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 1: and damaged cross fox. One had no tail, one had 1483 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 1: no head, the third one had badly rubbed hips. I 1484 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:15,720 Speaker 1: told Jack that I was going to try to make 1485 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 1: a whole cross fox from these three damaged ones. Jack 1486 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,639 Speaker 1: didn't think much of the idea. One of the fox 1487 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,240 Speaker 1: had a good head and shoulders, one had good hips, 1488 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 1: and the third one had a good tail in hips. 1489 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,840 Speaker 1: I trimmed off all the ragged edges and rugged rubbed pieces. 1490 01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,280 Speaker 1: I was good at sewing, considering the short experience I 1491 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 1: had had the past winter. I simply sewed the head 1492 01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,120 Speaker 1: and shoulders together, and then I fastened on the good 1493 01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,719 Speaker 1: hips and tail and pulled it loosely over a stretcher. 1494 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,680 Speaker 1: The whole fox pelt was probably a little shorter than 1495 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:55,639 Speaker 1: average length. When we were showing our collection of furs 1496 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,639 Speaker 1: to a fur barre, he picked up this tailor made 1497 01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:02,719 Speaker 1: cross fox, first, shook it out and said, now that's 1498 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:09,960 Speaker 1: what I call a nice little cross You ready for this? 1499 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 1: After we arrived in town, I stayed at Jim Haley's 1500 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,719 Speaker 1: roadhouse for a month. Old Jim was a great soup maker. 1501 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 1: He had a large don't laugh, he had a large 1502 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,719 Speaker 1: seven gallon soup kettle that he always kept full of soup. 1503 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 1: It's not funny. I often wondered afterwards how he kept 1504 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:41,600 Speaker 1: so much soup on hand without its souring on him. 1505 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 1: He must have kept adding soda to it. He used 1506 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,719 Speaker 1: to put all kinds of small game in his suit, 1507 01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:51,840 Speaker 1: such as squirrels, ducks, ground squirrels, rabbits, and sometimes a 1508 01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:55,000 Speaker 1: piece of moot or caribou meat that the Indians happened 1509 01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,439 Speaker 1: to bring in. They were all good to Jim in 1510 01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:03,720 Speaker 1: this respect. Jim always had soup to serve any time 1511 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:07,680 Speaker 1: of the day or night. One time, Jim had his 1512 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:14,640 Speaker 1: soup pot and slop bucket sitting side by side. By mistake, 1513 01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,800 Speaker 1: a fellow by the name of White emptied his wash 1514 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 1: basin in Jim's soup pot instead of the slop bucket. 1515 01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:33,880 Speaker 1: His soup was still as popular as ever. Ready for this, 1516 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 1: I remember curly well and I stout that Schuman's overnight. 1517 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:41,759 Speaker 1: We told him we would like to get an early 1518 01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,400 Speaker 1: start in the morning. Schumann said in his alarm clock 1519 01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,840 Speaker 1: to ring at four o'clock. When the alarm went off, 1520 01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,600 Speaker 1: it woke me up, too, so I lay awake in 1521 01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:55,360 Speaker 1: bed until breakfast was ready. Schumann got right up, made 1522 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,639 Speaker 1: a hot fire in a big cast iron flat top 1523 01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:01,800 Speaker 1: heater he had. I watched Schumann all the time. He 1524 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,240 Speaker 1: didn't know it. First thing he did toward cooking our 1525 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 1: breakfast was to spit a mouthful of tobacco juice on 1526 01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:13,080 Speaker 1: top of his cast iron heater. After this burned out dry, 1527 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,599 Speaker 1: he made our toast on the same stove. As soon 1528 01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,280 Speaker 1: as Curly got up, I told him of the incident. 1529 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,040 Speaker 1: Schumann wanted to know why we were not hungry that morning. 1530 01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 1: We told him we had drunk some bad whiskey the 1531 01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,679 Speaker 1: evening before, and that we would settle for a cup 1532 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:46,960 Speaker 1: of coffee. Pay for this. That's not that interesting, Oh no, 1533 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 1: it is interesting. In August nineteen twelve and nineteen, it's 1534 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 1: a historical tidbit. In August nineteen twelve and nineteen thirteen, 1535 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 1: I decided to pull out for the trap line. The 1536 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,760 Speaker 1: outfit of grub bean cook advanced me. The outfit of 1537 01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: grub Okay, the outfit of food bean cook advanced me 1538 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 1: amounted to one hundred and thirty dollars. I never took 1539 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,519 Speaker 1: any bacon or lard with me. I figured I'm using 1540 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:24,840 Speaker 1: bear for bacon and lard of some old guys that Now, 1541 01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,880 Speaker 1: this guy's the toughest guy on the planet. But he's 1542 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: talking about the guys that are really tough. He says 1543 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: this of them, the old timers. So this is the 1544 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:37,880 Speaker 1: old timers at that time. They lived tough, eight tough, 1545 01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 1: and died hard. That's what I would like written on 1546 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 1: my tombstone when I'm buried in the Twin Lakes Cemetery. 1547 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:55,000 Speaker 1: Ready for another one. This guy is he's moose hunting, 1548 01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:58,360 Speaker 1: and he's talking about how he'll rake in moose pre 1549 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 1: rut still a to still use the day you take 1550 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 1: him scapula or an ant or whatever right rake brush. 1551 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 1: He believes this. He believes that moose. That this is 1552 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:14,960 Speaker 1: an interesting belief. Brown bears, he says, hunt moose the 1553 01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 1: same way. Sometimes a brown bear will fool a moose 1554 01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 1: by clawing at a dry hollow tree. A moose, generally 1555 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 1: on the run, runs in the direction of such a sound. 1556 01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 1: The bear charges the moose that has run right to him. Wow, 1557 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:35,880 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. 1558 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:39,960 Speaker 2: Remind me to tell you a hot tip when we're 1559 01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 2: done here about moose. So I can't remember if I 1560 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 2: told you. 1561 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 1: He's checking their scouting for trapping sign and his buddy 1562 01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 1: uh eagle. Every time they find a mink track, he 1563 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,479 Speaker 1: gets down and smells that track. He says he can 1564 01:23:56,560 --> 01:24:01,880 Speaker 1: smell whether it's fresh. He's got sled dogs when he's trapping, 1565 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,720 Speaker 1: and he feeds him mostly fish. After I got home, 1566 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: I did some fishing with a gaff hook and I 1567 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 1: hooked out five hundred dog salmon esz one day he 1568 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,000 Speaker 1: hooks out eight hundred dog salmon with a. 1569 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:23,880 Speaker 3: Gaff and he refers to it as some fishing. Did 1570 01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 3: some fishing. I didn't dedicate a day to it. 1571 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,120 Speaker 1: There was no law in fort Yukon in nineteen This 1572 01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:35,360 Speaker 1: is he's talking about the winter nineteen twelve nineteen thirteen, 1573 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,720 Speaker 1: and they bring in a US Commissioner who now is 1574 01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:45,599 Speaker 1: supposed to assume control of fort Yukon. He comes into 1575 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,599 Speaker 1: town and he's got a number of people that he's 1576 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,680 Speaker 1: got for land injunctions. Basically, he's got people. He's got 1577 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 1: a couple of people he's going to prosecute for living 1578 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 1: on land they don't own. And he decides to prosecute 1579 01:24:56,080 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 1: some other people for illegal cohabitation living with their girlfriend. 1580 01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 1: Does two indictments, subpoena's all fifty residents of Fort Yukon 1581 01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:16,080 Speaker 1: in the winter makes all fifty residents of fort Yukon 1582 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:21,480 Speaker 1: travel to Fairbanks for these trials. The jury in Fairbanks 1583 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:25,760 Speaker 1: acquits everyone and they send the whole town back home. 1584 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:32,519 Speaker 1: Geez got nothing out of it. When he left. He 1585 01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:34,400 Speaker 1: had some links he hadn't skinned yet, and he put 1586 01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,360 Speaker 1: him in his bed, wrapped up in his blanket. But 1587 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,599 Speaker 1: he says he got back and there still frozen stiff. 1588 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 1: Maybe this I okay, talking about the Winner in nineteen ten, 1589 01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:51,240 Speaker 1: nineteen eleven. He's trapping. I got home early that evening. 1590 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:53,840 Speaker 1: Before I left the cabin that morning, I had left 1591 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 1: a partly frozen lynx wrapped up in my bed. This 1592 01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 1: was to prevent it from freezing harder. I wanted to 1593 01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 1: get the lynx thought out so I could skin it out, 1594 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 1: for its pelt links have thousands of fleas on them. 1595 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,080 Speaker 1: Even when the flesh is partly frozen. As soon as 1596 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,800 Speaker 1: the cabin warms up, the fleas leave the cat and 1597 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,800 Speaker 1: get all over one's blankets and clothes. The Marshal, this 1598 01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 1: is the Marshal, there to serve him a subpoena. The 1599 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 1: Marshal got quite a jolt when I unwrapped the dead 1600 01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,960 Speaker 1: frozen link from my bedding. David nearly laughed his head off. 1601 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 1: They both stayed with me that night. They told me 1602 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:29,760 Speaker 1: in the morning that the fleas nearly ate them up 1603 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,439 Speaker 1: alive and that they hadn't slept a wink all night 1604 01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 1: from scratching. Well, I said, they kept me awake all 1605 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 1: night too. What's this here? He's drinking with a guy 1606 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 1: named Doc, and they got a bottle of whiskey and 1607 01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,880 Speaker 1: little glasses and he says Doc had a method. I 1608 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 1: don't need to drink it. Second, ex explain it. Doc 1609 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,400 Speaker 1: had a method that he had a small shot and 1610 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,120 Speaker 1: huge fingers, and he could wrap his fingers so tight 1611 01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 1: around the shot glass that he said they acted as 1612 01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:11,719 Speaker 1: sideboards and he could fit more whiskey in his cup 1613 01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,519 Speaker 1: by creating extra volume around his cup just with his fingers, 1614 01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:25,920 Speaker 1: and then would walk away from the bottle. It's not funny. 1615 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,800 Speaker 3: I like how the flea dealing just like implies that 1616 01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:31,240 Speaker 3: this is just the way it is. 1617 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:36,120 Speaker 5: Like like, yep, I got bitter too, I. 1618 01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 3: Gotta deal with the fleas. There's no changing this method. 1619 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 1: Now he's married and he traps with his wife Fanny. 1620 01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:47,720 Speaker 1: They go out for a whole season Our catch for 1621 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,400 Speaker 1: the season consisted of forty six links, twenty three minks 1622 01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:57,080 Speaker 1: seventy martin. He later goes on and say what he 1623 01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:58,720 Speaker 1: got at the fur buyer. So they go out for 1624 01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:00,439 Speaker 1: the winner, and I did one of those little inflation 1625 01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 1: adjusters which are kind of kind of inaccurate. But he 1626 01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 1: and his wife go out and trap. They catch again 1627 01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:11,599 Speaker 1: forty six links twenty three seventy martin with an inflation adjuster. 1628 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:16,200 Speaker 1: They made forty four forty four thousand bucks that winter trapping. 1629 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,040 Speaker 1: Here's a little bit of the ingenuity of these guys. 1630 01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:24,080 Speaker 1: It's the twelfth of April. Okay, they've gone up to 1631 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 1: trap this twelfth of April, and it's time to come home. Luckily, 1632 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 1: we had a large size toboggan. It was sixteen inches wide, 1633 01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:35,599 Speaker 1: nine feet long, and made of hickory boards twelve feet 1634 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 1: long and four inches wide. The stores those days sold 1635 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,559 Speaker 1: this hickory and also maple boards to the trappers to 1636 01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,320 Speaker 1: make their toboggans with. I used to make my own. 1637 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:50,040 Speaker 1: I had a form to bend the boards on after 1638 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:53,280 Speaker 1: they had been steamed. For a steamer. I used a 1639 01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:57,320 Speaker 1: five gallon oil can and two stove pipes. I fitted 1640 01:28:57,360 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 1: the pipe in one end of the can. Filled the 1641 01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,840 Speaker 1: can full of water and set it on a campfire 1642 01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,960 Speaker 1: to boil. I shoved the four boards down the stove 1643 01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,760 Speaker 1: pipe to the bottom of the can. I stuffed some 1644 01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 1: gunny sacks in the cracks around the top of the 1645 01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:15,080 Speaker 1: stove pipe to keep the steam in. In about three hours, 1646 01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:19,600 Speaker 1: one could bend the steamed ends like rubber. After the 1647 01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 1: boards dried on the form, I fastened them with cross pieces. 1648 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 1: I made a basket from a partly tanned big moose 1649 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:30,679 Speaker 1: hide the full length of the toboggan. I had lash 1650 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,400 Speaker 1: loops all around the top of the basket to lash 1651 01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:37,040 Speaker 1: the load down. We loaded the lynx in the toboggan first. 1652 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 1: They were the most bulky, the martin and mink one 1653 01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 1: could get in a big gunny sack. We had a 1654 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:47,479 Speaker 1: top heavy load the next year. Check this out. The 1655 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,360 Speaker 1: next year, gets how many links he catches. The whole 1656 01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,720 Speaker 1: country came alive with lynx and rabbits.

So that was the amount of jingle 1659 01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:03,280 Speaker 1: he was making at that time. There's one other couple 1660 01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:08,400 Speaker 1: of things.

Curtis had his own tent and 1675 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:09,080 Speaker 1: stove and the grub line. Curtis traveled light. He lived 1676 01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,759 Speaker 1: off the country mostly when he arrived at the flats. 1677 01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,280 Speaker 1: This is when they go. They go. They actually travel in. 1678 01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 1: Here's what's funny. They're traveling by dog sled. They cross 1679 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,760 Speaker 1: into Canada that they have to stop and go through customs. 1680 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:24,880 Speaker 1: There's a camp that has two mounies there and they 1681 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,720 Speaker 1: got to pay duties on all their stuff, and you 1682 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:29,960 Speaker 1: pay duties on your sled. Dogs but you get the 1683 01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 1: money back if they come back alive. And there's guys 1684 01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:37,000 Speaker 1: that live there just to monitor trappers coming over the 1685 01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,040 Speaker 1: pass from the Yukon to going to the Crow River 1686 01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 1: Flats to trap muskrats. Curtis had his own tent and 1687 01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 1: stove and the grub line. Curtis traveled light. He lived 1688 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 1: off the country mostly. When he arrived at the flats, 1689 01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,200 Speaker 1: he had fifteen pounds of flour, five pounds of sugar, 1690 01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:54,240 Speaker 1: one can of lard, one pound of coffee, two pounds 1691 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:57,599 Speaker 1: of butter, six cans of milk, one half pound of tea, 1692 01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:03,840 Speaker 1: and one pound of salt. He gave us his butter, coffee, 1693 01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:06,639 Speaker 1: and milk. We didn't want to take this from him, 1694 01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 1: but he insisted we take it and said rats and 1695 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:15,280 Speaker 1: flour were all he wanted to eat. He wouldn't accept 1696 01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:18,160 Speaker 1: anything for it. We used to have him eat with 1697 01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:22,200 Speaker 1: us quite often. It didn't take much to satisfy Curtis. 1698 01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,559 Speaker 1: I used to visit Curtis often to hear him talk. 1699 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:28,679 Speaker 1: Our tents were close together. One day I was in 1700 01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,200 Speaker 1: his tent when he cooked a batch of rats. He 1701 01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:34,599 Speaker 1: dressed out ten rats and stuck them in a five 1702 01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:38,559 Speaker 1: gallon coal oil can. This coal oil can, and a 1703 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,639 Speaker 1: couple of lard cans were all the cooking dishes he had. 1704 01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,320 Speaker 1: He put the rats in this five gallon can heads down, 1705 01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,240 Speaker 1: with their tails hanging over the sides of the can 1706 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:53,479 Speaker 1: about four inches. He added water and let them boil 1707 01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:58,040 Speaker 1: for one hour. Then he reversed them tails down, heads up. 1708 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,799 Speaker 1: This gave the tails a chance to cook. The tails 1709 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,280 Speaker 1: of the rats are very good eating when boiled or 1710 01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:09,559 Speaker 1: cooked over a campfire. Eight tails with a small piece 1711 01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:14,000 Speaker 1: of bannock makes feed for a person. After cooking them 1712 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,720 Speaker 1: another half hour, he would thicken the juice with a 1713 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:21,400 Speaker 1: cup of flour, making a thick white gravy. This concoction 1714 01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 1: would last Curtis for three days. Whenever he wanted to 1715 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:27,720 Speaker 1: meat eat a meal, he would fork out of the 1716 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:32,639 Speaker 1: can a whole rat, together with some white gravy. This 1717 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:35,880 Speaker 1: didn't allow much variety, but Curtis seemed to relish it 1718 01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,760 Speaker 1: rats for breakfast, dinner, and supper. When a person is 1719 01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:44,160 Speaker 1: hungry and a long way from a store, anything tastes good, 1720 01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:46,720 Speaker 1: no matter how many times one eats the same thing. 1721 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:51,040 Speaker 1: Behind curtis sheet iron stove in his tent, he had 1722 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:54,400 Speaker 1: a pile of rat bones as big as a large 1723 01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:59,920 Speaker 1: rat house. These were the bones from all the rat 1724 01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:03,840 Speaker 1: he had eaten recently. The last thing I'll tell you 1725 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 1: about Curtis. Yeah, when they get done with trapping season, 1726 01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,360 Speaker 1: they go back for Yukon. Curtis brings two large gunny 1727 01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,720 Speaker 1: sacks full of dried rats that he can eat during 1728 01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:15,120 Speaker 1: the summer. 1729 01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:21,519 Speaker 11: I think stopped a recipe like this and the next 1730 01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:25,200 Speaker 11: meat eater outdoor cookbook or cookbook, and then when we 1731 01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:28,639 Speaker 11: do like a podcast like we did this year, Randall 1732 01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:29,839 Speaker 11: can be the rep cooker. 1733 01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:31,840 Speaker 4: Oh, I think we should just bring him in and 1734 01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,560 Speaker 4: cook him right here and get dirt in on it. 1735 01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:40,559 Speaker 1: Dirt would love Steve. 1736 01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:44,120 Speaker 7: When you read a book just for yourself, not for 1737 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:45,280 Speaker 7: the podcast. 1738 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,040 Speaker 1: Do you I wasn't reading it for the book, Okay. 1739 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:47,360 Speaker 2: So my questions. 1740 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,000 Speaker 7: I can kind of see over your shoulder though, like 1741 01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:51,160 Speaker 7: you've notated it, You've you've got out, you've got lines 1742 01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:53,280 Speaker 7: on the side, you've got stars, you've got some things underline. 1743 01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:54,920 Speaker 7: Do you do that in any book you read?
