Um, 55 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: I think he's smart enough to know when. Like I 56 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: think he doesn't want to hunt, but he knows the 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: ethics where he's not going to get into an argument 58 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: about like it's totally bad because he eats meat, and 59 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: like he's smart enough to know that that's hypocritical.

Like, 75 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: karma is a big part of stuff, right, Karma is 76 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: a big part of Latvian stuff. I feel like I've 77 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: heard you talk about karma a lot. Yeah, you, my Spencer, 78 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: that our whole lens in the Lavian culture has attributes 79 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: that aren't necessarily Lavian, that we described as Lavian. Maybe 80 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: maybe so maybe this isn't a Latvian thing, it's a 81 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: honest thing. Yeah, totally, all right? All right, Well I 82 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: thought I thought a lot about you, and this was happening. 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: I was in eastern Montana this last weekend. Um, I 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: was on my second day the haunt. There was moving spots. 85 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: From my morning spot, it's my afternoon spot. On my drive, 86 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: I came across an owl caughting a barbedwire fence. Great 87 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: horned owl caught in a fence, caughting a barbed wire fence. 88 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: So I pulled over to take pictures, and uh, I 89 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: snapped a photo. Yeah, it was big. My brother hit 90 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: one one time busted out the front grill and the 91 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: headlight on this car owl. After being up close, I 92 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: can understand why pulled over to take some pictures because 93 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is like kind of a cool 94 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: poetic scene or something. I don't I don't know why. 95 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: Like two tall animal way bigger that was Doug during 96 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: was here. He didn't know already. He looked it up 97 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: on his phone. Two feet is not a bad guess. 98 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: Caught in the fence. So I take a few pictures. 99 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: You thought there was poetry in watching this. I will suffer. 100 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: At the time, I didn't know that it was still alive. 101 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: The whole scene from my pickup on the side of 102 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: the road to the barbed wire fence looked like this 103 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: was death. There were feathers in the ditch. It had 104 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: um like evacuated its bowels in the snow. I couldn't 105 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: see its head. I thought maybe it was decapitated. Gez. 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: So I get, I get sort of close. I take 107 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: a few pictures, and then it moves like, oh, this 108 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: thing is still alive. Is a good Lavians always know that. 109 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: I want to know more details about how it was 110 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: caught bottom strand between two It looked like, no, it 111 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: was in the top strand. It looked as though it 112 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: had been crucified, like both wings were on the top 113 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: barbedwire fence. That poetic yeah, and then it's the rest 114 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: of his body was just hanging down. I have photos 115 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I can show you.

Do you want me to do it? 118 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Are you gonna it? Uh?

So I have 124 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: a pretty good answer on this part. I'll get to 125 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: in a second. So I find this owl, realize it's 126 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: still alive, get to work on getting it out of 127 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: the fence. The one wing comes out pretty easy. The 128 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: next wing, though, was like in there in there is 129 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: he just biting at you. Nope, it was. It was 130 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: very docile. Um. When you're up that close, the talents 131 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: are like ridiculous on it. But the good news was 132 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: I had my first light mits with me, which were 133 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: like the biggest, heaviest wool winter gloves that they have, 134 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: and I was able to handle it pretty confidently with those. 135 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: So I kind of opened up its talents, which had 136 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: a wing in one of its talents, and I pulled 137 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: that out. It was like its yeah, it's talents were 138 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: just kind of grasping at whatever it could get it. 139 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: It had sort of grasped its own wing um, so 140 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: that the next wing, though, would not come out. I 141 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: tried as far as I could, could not get it up. 142 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: But I had a players in my pickup, wrapped up 143 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: in the bar wrapped up in the barb badly um. 144 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: So I went to my pickup, got a players, and 145 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: I cut the fence on both sides of the wing 146 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: and then the owls and free. But I had like 147 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: three inches a fence hanging out of its wing. I 148 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: also I haul my camping gear in four totes. I 149 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: keep it in in four totes that I don't know 150 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: how big, maybe like thirty gallons or something. And I 151 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: had one of the toads that were empty, so I 152 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: put the owl in the toe in the back of 153 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: my pickup. Did not have service where I was at, 154 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: drove out about twenty miles to where I could get service, 155 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: called the game warden. UM. After like calling five of them, 156 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: one finally answered and he said, well, I would just 157 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: leave it. Whatever happens happens, he said, And that wasn't well, no, 158 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: you know what why it's not maybe not in disrespect 159 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: to him, because like I wouldn't regard a fence like 160 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: if you found it tangled up in a oh, like 161 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: a coyote had got her sounding yeah, then I could 162 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: see that you would have that perspective. But here it is, 163 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: it's in a man made thing, and so now humanity 164 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: is involved. Yes, there was like some responsibility and it 165 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: wasn't my fence. Um, the game warden said, just whatever 166 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: happens happens, let it be. But I wasn't real satisfied. 167 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: And at this point I had a live owl in 168 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: the back of my pickup, so it's also like beyond 169 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: the whatever happens happened, probably getting attached a little bit, right, Yeah, 170 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: what's his name? Well, I already had some names picked 171 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: doubt for it. Actually, we'll get to that. So I 172 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: was gonna call it. Uh. I had two names picked out, 173 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: either Peck because of where it was that you can 174 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: figure that part out on your own for Peck Reservoir, 175 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: or Meat either because I'm sure it eats a lot 176 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: of meat. I'd like those two. So I got a 177 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: phone in the game Warden wasn't real satisfied. I called 178 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: the Billing Zoo. The Billing Zoo said, we do not 179 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: do any owl rehabilitation, but you should call the Montana 180 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: Raptor Conservation Society whatever they're called. Is that down the 181 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: Bitter Route. They are in Bozeman, right out of both 182 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: So I called them on a Saturday afternoon. It like noon. 183 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: They answered, and they said, well, um, here are the options. 184 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: You can drive it to us in Bozeman, or we 185 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: have some contact spread out throughout the state where we'll 186 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: do like a little relay race where you will deliver 187 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: it to this person, they will deliver it to us. 188 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: We could do that. So the woman on the phone, 189 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: she also told me this on the on end. She says, 190 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: birds and fences at very low survival rate, uh, and 191 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: an even lower rehabilitation rate. That like this thing is 192 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: going to function well enough to be like they just 193 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: get too banged up. Yes, she saw like a bad situation. 194 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Not many of them come out of there in a 195 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: good deal. So they found somebody who was a volunteer 196 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: ninety miles away that I could then drive the owl to. 197 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: Then that person would deliver it the rest of the 198 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: way to the Raptor Center. Um. So I agreed to 199 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: do that and basically took myself out of hunting for 200 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the day because it was just going 201 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: so far out of the way where I was going 202 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,599 Speaker 1: the opposite direction of where I wanted to go, and 203 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to hunt that evening because there's 204 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: just gonna be too much time on the road. So 205 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: I take this owl to the woman who's then going 206 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: to take it to Bozeman and on my way home 207 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: from there. Oh okay, So you say, like here's it 208 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: owl in a box. What's her take on it? Yes, so, my, my, no, 209 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: this this person was just regular citizen. And I handed 210 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: them a box with an owl and a tote, a 211 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: tote that had holes caught in it with my bench 212 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: made e d c so we could breathe. I handed 213 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: them the tote and then they took it the rest 214 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: of the way and they didn't even take a peek. 215 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: So the person the raft center said that they cannot 216 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: handle the owl at all. They're not allowed to. But 217 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: that lady told me that this was the third bird 218 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: in the week that she had taken to them, and 219 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: she had hit the trifecta now in a week because 220 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: she had done an eagle hawk and then this was 221 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: her owl. Man, A lot of birds get messed up 222 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: out there, apparently. I've heard that barbed wire fences are 223 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: one of the biggest detriments to sage grouse populations, and 224 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: and and in that area you'll see a lot of 225 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: fences that have flagging on them just to make it 226 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,599 Speaker 1: more visible so the sage crouse don't fly into it. 227 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: And they put those little metallic reflectors on there to 228 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: blow on the breeze because it's like a certain people 229 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: when you string I don't know whatever height inches I've 230 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: heard that that that's kind of like a cruising height 231 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: for them or huh so no one. So to this point, 232 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: you haven't gotten any any updates or any reason to 233 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: think that the owl is gonna make it, not make it. 234 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: You're saying, like right now or the day that I 235 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: was deliverating right now. I'll get to that at the end. 236 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: I have an update on thet Was he able to 237 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: stand up in the tote? So it was? He? Was 238 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: he laying down like in a little coffin, Yeah, he was. 239 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: He was mostly laying down. When I would mess with him, 240 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: he was like conscious. He would look at me. You're 241 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: well harassing in a way of like trimming the barbed 242 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: wire around so it didn't have ten inches a barbwire 243 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: instead of spencer three inches. You're still getting up to 244 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: the Latvian karma thing, right, Yeah? Did you hunt down 245 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: a mouse or a bowl or anything to try to 246 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: feed it? No? No, not enough time. Oh can I 247 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: tell you something real quick though? My kid, we're out 248 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: hunting for the youth season. He found a baby mouse 249 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: and carried around in his bino pouch and it was like, 250 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm not kid. We got it a deer later and 251 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: a mouse. Um was licking his hand and stuff like 252 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: he this mouse was like a full on pet mouse. 253 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: And he had your your son told you about this. 254 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: He's like look and they look at his biny pouch 255 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: was there, you know? Anyways, he's carrying his mouse around 256 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: and there all day long. Then him and his sister 257 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: they name it everything. Then they have a change of 258 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: heart and let it go. And then the next day 259 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: just for like catatonic about having let that mouse go 260 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: and wanted to go find another baby mouse. And I 261 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: was like, I haven't wandered around this planet for forty 262 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: six years. That's the first baby mouse I've ever seen 263 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: anyone finds. I don't think you're gonna go out right 264 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: now and get one. I can him in the right direction, though, 265 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, are down and our chicken coop. I'm sure 266 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: there's a couple running around. They forgot about it. But 267 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: I was going to rig them up a bucket trap 268 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: and just put nesting material in there so instead of 269 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: them drowning and and and a freeze, they'd have like 270 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: a little collection of mice. They could come on, come on, 271 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: Steve's great anyways, I'm oh, this is a great story. 272 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: I love it alright. So I've now relaid the owl 273 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: to the other person. That person is in route to Bozeman. 274 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm in route back to camp, but I'm not going 275 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: to make it back to camp in time that evening 276 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: to hunt. Just not not enough daylight left on my 277 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: way there though, about thirty miles from where I just 278 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: dropped off this owl, I see some deer filtering into 279 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: a field, um, a couple hundred yards off the highways, 280 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: private land. But I had on X and I had 281 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: the maps downloaded, despite there not being any service found 282 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: out where the landowner lived, because I thought, well, this 283 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: is my one chance, like this is my only opportunity 284 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: hunt for the seed. Me wait and knocked on the 285 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: rancher's door and they told me that I could go hunt. Now. 286 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: Mind you, to this point, I had decided this summer 287 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: that was like, I'm gonna try to find a white 288 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: tail property to hunt this year in eastern Montana. And 289 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: I went over fifteen I'm getting permission, no ship, No, 290 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: but just they happened, just not happened. Did you butter 291 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: them up with the owl story? Did not come up. 292 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: I was prepared. I was trying to rescue an owl, 293 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: and he'd probably like, bring me the oles. I'm gonna 294 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: strangle it if he's like an old rancher. Anyways, I 295 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: was trying to rescue an owl and I couldn't help. 296 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: But notice I was prepared to explain how I wound 297 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: up in their you know, driveway, to talk to them, 298 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: but it didn't get to that point. He disagreed on 299 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: the front. He's like, oh, that's no problem, ye. So 300 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: I go back to where I saw the year I 301 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: walk into the past year in an hour later, I 302 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: had killed a buck, a buck that I was really 303 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: stoked on, like that. I would shoot any state, anywhere, 304 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: private or public, grade four by four. So I would 305 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: have never been in that area had it not been 306 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: for rescuing the owl, though, because I was eighty miles 307 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: in the wrong direction from where I wanted to be 308 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: hunting that evening. Did you then go sleep in your 309 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: camp that night? Nope. I went and broke down camp 310 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: and drove home fun. The whole time this happening, I 311 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: was thinking of Yanni and Karma, and I was telling 312 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: that to my wife. Tell that story to Yanni's dead. 313 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: If you really want to get the dope, okay, it 314 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: would just be like, of course, that's how the universe works. 315 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: I don't believe, but I'm closer now, closer. I got 316 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: an update on the owl on Monday. It's dead, so 317 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: that that was a bummer. They said it could not 318 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: be rehabilitated. Both wings were in too bad of shape. Um, 319 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: there'd be too much stitching to be done. They just 320 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: said it wouldn't they They put it down. Yep. You 321 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: know that joke about the guy it goes out of 322 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: town his cat gets on the roof. That reminds me 323 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: of that joke. I wanted a happy ending, real bad 324 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: I was. I was stoked. I was like, I'm gonna 325 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: volunteer for them. I'm gonna go feed this thing. I'm 326 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: gonna go and take pictures of this owl named meat Eater. 327 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there when they release it. You had 328 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: like a little mind movie. I was called the movie 329 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: when I happened, I was all in on it. We 330 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: have three four like real writers in this room. You 331 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: consider yourself a writer too, man, I would not say so. 332 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: Is there a name for a story that has like 333 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: simultaneously like that a good and bad ending. Mm hmm, 334 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: Well you could do it. You can do it. Choose 335 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: your own ending, and you'd be like, if the owl dies, 336 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: I'll get the deer. Well, what I gotta seven. It's 337 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: kind of like the ending of a Tarantino movie. Really, 338 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: Like I was telling my wife. I was telling my 339 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: wife about this like karma that I had built up 340 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: and stuffy right, and then I killed this here and 341 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: she's like, well, if karma works, like I don't know 342 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: that they would reward you. That's killing another animal. Like 343 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: that's a great I read your wife brought that up. 344 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: That's a really good point. You're saying that, like I 345 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: saved an animal, and so I was rewarded by the 346 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: universe with being able to kill one. Yep. But then 347 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: the one I say died too. And that's just how 348 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: the raw deal Man story. It didn't die in vain. 349 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: I guess it helped me get a buck. If that 350 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: owlhead lived, he'd sue you for like stealing his ship. 351 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: And now I know i'd handle the situation. Next time 352 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: come upon someone this just called the Montana Raptor Center. 353 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: They'll get you hooked up. They are like a very 354 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: energetic are you gonna become a donor. No, they're not 355 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a donor. No. But I looked on their 356 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: website for volunteer opportunities. The only volunteer opportunity have right 357 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: now is if you live in Billings, Montana, you can 358 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: be part of this relay race from taking owls from 359 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: there to Bozeman. You know those places often take like 360 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: trim meat and hunters and stuff. You got von Shnard 361 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: had that story he used to bring road killed deer. 362 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: He used to bring road killed deer to a raptor center, 363 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: but he said they'd usually show up minus the backstraps, 364 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: but no one ever brought it up. Um uh, would 365 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: you volunteer there at the expense of being able to 366 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: rock hound? Why couldn't I do both? I'm saying like, so, 367 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: let's say a Saturday comes up like rock hounding in 368 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: one hand, fixing up uh raptors in I felt like 369 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: pretty rewarded throughout the situation, up until I found out 370 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: that it died. So I I enjoyed um that I 371 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: think I would do that again. Yeah, I gotta asked, 372 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: though I've eaten some pretty weird ship with you, did 373 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: it ever cross your mind? Once they said it was dead. 374 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: Did you Did you ask him if you could press 375 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: it out? No, because I imagine their their euthanizing situation 376 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: is just like cocktail. I think that was an ass 377 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: breast on that bird. Man owl is not gonna have. 378 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: My dad always told story. My dad was from the 379 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: era when people just just shot things for no reason. 380 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: He always told a story about sitting in his tree 381 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: stand one day and seen an owl, like an eye 382 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: level with him, way off and shooting, and he said 383 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: his arrow goes He's talking about how like fluffy they are, 384 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: and he says, his arrow goes right through the owl. 385 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: But the owl doesn't even flinch, and he realized that 386 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: it just passed through the feathers of the owl. Now, 387 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,239 Speaker 1: I would say, like, why the movie we're shooting at 388 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: the owl. By the time, you're just like, huh, yeah. 389 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: Those days. He used to belong to this. He used 390 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: to belong to the Chicago Bowman and they had a 391 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: little patch with every like everything that was on Noah's 392 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: Ark they had a patch for. And all you had 393 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: to do is going to be like I shot a 394 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: toad with my bow and you get the toad patch. 395 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, And he had like a sash. I'm like, 396 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 1: he had like a sash with dozens of patches of 397 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 1: just everything on the planet. Because this is back when 398 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: people are super excited about bows, like the Fred Bear era. 399 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: Who's that dude? He went to Africa to prove you 400 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: could kill an elephant with a bow and shot like 401 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: ninety times Howard or something like that. It was like 402 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: everybody was geeked up on bows. It's like people hadn't 403 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: hunted with bows and they were getting back into hunt 404 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: with bows, and so everybody's just trying to show like 405 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: how great bows were so you could get bow seasons 406 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: and ship like that. He like worked really hard to 407 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: get states to get bow seasons and then later in 408 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: his life fought against states having crossbow seasons. Uh okay, 409 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: one more little report. Hold on the the interaction I 410 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: was dreading most throughout this whole thing. Was then talking 411 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: to the rancher about me cutting his fence, which was 412 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: not ideal for him certainly, But I found his phone number, 413 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: called him told in the situation, and he was very understanding. 414 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: He was really pleasant. I offered to go back and 415 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: fix it for him, and he's like, no, just tell 416 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: me where it's at I'll deal with it. So on 417 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: that front, And so was he like, yeah, I would 418 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: have done the same thing, or was he kind of 419 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: like you did what it was? It was pretty brief. 420 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: That didn't come up when you cut the wire? Did it? 421 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: Call twing and like undo six posts? It would have 422 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: been an easy fix for somebody. You called him up, 423 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: called him up. Well, I felt bad. No, I you 424 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: did the right thing. I was actually wondering about that 425 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: the whole time. But I was trying to only interrupt you, 426 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: like thirty times. Did you when you called to tell 427 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: him about his fence, did you try to sneak in 428 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: him permission? Ask? Well, I was cutting your fence. I 429 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: couldn't help, but a beautiful property deer was dead by 430 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: that point, so I didn't I didn't need any more permissions.

Well, thanks Johnny. Glad to 455 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to about one of my favorite Well, 456 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: I think many of our listeners are probably abundantly familiar 457 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: with the federal duck stamp program. Every American who wants 458 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: to hunt waterfowl has to buy one every year. It's 459 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars. The program was established in nineteen thirty four. 460 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: And you can read a piece I wrote about out 461 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: Ding Darling jay Norwouold Darling, who was a political cartoonist, satis. 462 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: How do you say that we're satirist satirists? It doesn't 463 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: sound right though, does either way? He tired things, Yeah 464 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: he did, he did, um but yeah it was it 465 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: was a cartoonist for most of his career, but he UM. 466 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: He became so prominent that UM Franklin Delano Roosevelt hired 467 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: him to start the US Fish and Wildlife Servi Service. 468 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: It was called something different back then. UM. But Congress 469 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: passed the Federal duck Stamp Act in nineteen thirty four, 470 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: and he was responsible for implementing that, and he drew 471 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: the first one. It used to be a dollar, UM, 472 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: but it was. It was meant to generate funding for 473 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: UM wetlands concerts. Started out as a dollar one dollar, Yeah, 474 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, it was how much money total? Now it's 475 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: over a billion dollars and a billion dollars. You see 476 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: different numbers in different places. I've seen eight hundred million 477 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: in some places, but the US Fish and Wildlife Service 478 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: says one billion and and that they've conserved over six 479 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: six million acres of um of wetlands since nineteen. Yeah. Absolutely, man, 480 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: it's so it's it's it's enormously popular and successful program. Um. 481 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: And it's become really popular for collection. And I actually 482 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: just spoke to the uh well the email to the 483 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: chief of the Federal Duck Stamp Office this morning. Um. 484 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: And is that his dedicated job or he just kind 485 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: of kicks in for a week or two every year 486 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: her dedicated job? But I believe it's year round. Um. 487 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: And I've worked worked with her before to get permissions 488 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: for US to use uh images of duck stamps because 489 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: our media. But she said that they sell one point 490 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: five million stamps every year, and what are they get now? 491 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: There were dollars now they had been like fifteen for 492 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: an attorney fifteen until and everybody had a ship fit. Yeah, 493 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: because it went up from fifteen to twenty five. But 494 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: then people had to point out, we haven't raised it 495 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: for a long time, decades decades. But we're also scheduled 496 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: for another ten dollar increase sometime and then your future 497 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: I believe, and anyone that wants to hunt ducks has 498 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: to buy that and then for a weird reason, I guess, 499 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: maybe not weird, because no, they don't want you trade 500 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: in it between your friends. You gotta write your name 501 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, put it on your license and write 502 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: your name across it. So it's like not transfer. I 503 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: never really put that together. Yeah, it's like you can't 504 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: be like, oh, just take my ducks damp. Yeah. And 505 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: she she said that there's about one one million waterfowl 506 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: hunters approximately every year who buy a waterfowl um waterfowl 507 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: licenses and hunt waterfowl. But um. She also knows that 508 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: a large proportion of hunters by two every year one 509 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: to put on their license in one for a collectible, 510 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: which my my dad's done for my entire life. He's 511 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: always bought a couple. He likes the program. Yeah, he 512 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: likes the program. Um. They have a series of like 513 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: prints from back in I think the eighties with you know, 514 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: like the actual print of the painting plus the ducks tall. 515 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my friend Mark has a lot of those 516 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: he's got a lot of those. He was like a 517 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: big painting and then in the corner is actual stamp. Yeah. Yeah, 518 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: my father in law has a wall literally of that. 519 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: He was like a chapter chairman or president for a 520 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of years of a d u um uh chapter 521 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: and uh yeah. I mean there's like I don't know, 522 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: ten or fifteen in each frame, and there's just a 523 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: whole wall of him. You know, he's been did it 524 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,719 Speaker 1: for forty years or so. Have you ever asked, did 525 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: you when you're on the phone with what's the woman's 526 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: name who runs that program? Fellows, have you ever asked 527 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: her why they won't do like a cubist duck or 528 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: an impressionistic I've wanted to, but I have like a 529 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: modern duck. This conversation, I'm gonna ask you that it's 530 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: a certain style. It's like very photographic, and who knows, 531 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: maybe there's never even been a submission, well not in 532 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: the style. Context of the previous of that article I 533 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: wrote was about our friend Ed Anderson, who who has 534 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: done some paintings and some collaborations with us before, and 535 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: his his style is very like kind of comic book, 536 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: like we did that shirt with him. The Tarpin that 537 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: would they ever put one of his ducks on a stamp, 538 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: So he's considered he's considered trying to submit something under 539 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: his under his style, and I don't know, but we 540 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: did talk about that because he was doing an art 541 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: The reason I did that article as he was doing 542 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: an artist in residency at the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. 543 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: So I was kind of comparing him to to Ding 544 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: Darling because ding was a, you know, a cartoonist first 545 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: and kind of a fine artist second. Um, So I 546 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: think that would be really cool, um and shake it 547 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: up a little bit, but I think it would probably 548 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: ruffle some feathers. If you do what Susan, that's your name, yep, 549 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: follows Susan, I would go down and I would have 550 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: the crazy ass is looking abstract duct just see what 551 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: happens some Picasso ship. Who knows, maybe it comes out 552 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: so a cool that you sell an extra half a 553 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: million next year. So let's get into you ready to 554 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: get into the your So now you throw back to Yanni, 555 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: go back to you. N Well yeah, well here let 556 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: me set them up real quick, because because they sell 557 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: one point five million a year, they think about one 558 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: million goes to hunters, but they think a lot of 559 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: hunters buy a lot more or well more more than 560 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: one um. But you know, other people by other people 561 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: do buy duck stamps, but it's certainly a smaller proportion. 562 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: But at least two thirds of the sons of bitches 563 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: are sold, at least two thirds. But you can't get 564 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: free access to National Wildlife refugees if if you have 565 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: a duck stamp, So there there is some incentive for 566 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: bird watchers to do it, but that small percentage of 567 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: people who buy duck stamps who are not hunters are 568 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: now upset about a change of the rules. Back to you, Joanni, 569 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: Back to you, Yanni, Thanks Sam. That was great for me. 570 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: This is titilating because this is a lot of ship 571 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know about the refuge access. Yeah, 572 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: and he and I wouldn't have told you because I 573 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: don't know what told you, alright, So up until now 574 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: I think that they basically we want just like, submit 575 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: us pictures of ducks, right, we're for the duck stamp. Well. 576 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: In May this year, the agency announced a new rule. 577 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: The artwork submitted to the contest must include hunting imagery 578 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: and so I don't think it's like all the whole 579 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: thirty of those people that are non hunters that are 580 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: now mad, but one probably ten of them. And uh, 581 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: their group is called at least ten Friends of Animals, 582 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: a dairy and based I don't even I don't know 583 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,239 Speaker 1: where this town darre in Connecticut. It's like, dude, if 584 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: there's a place where a place called Friends of Animals 585 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be based and they're well funded, that's the place. 586 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: That place I've never been people with enough money to 587 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,239 Speaker 1: get all that going as dairy in Connecticut. There you go. 588 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, they're they're saying that it's um, it's just 589 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: it's just going to alienate this third and so we're 590 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: gonna actually lose a bunch of duck stamp sales, and 591 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: it's it's going like against you know, what this whole 592 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: thing is for. And so basically we're gonna lose money 593 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: for a critical habitat, lose money for the ducks themselves 594 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: because those people aren't buying one. Yeah, and he the leader, 595 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: the president, Scilla Ferrell is her last name. She says, 596 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: it's almost comical the desperate links the din dwindling hunting 597 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: industry is willing to go to make its clients feel relevant. Huh, 598 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: I see both sides. Why did they make a rule 599 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: that it has Like like, I'm happy they did, you know, 600 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: Like first, if I'm out the park a lot or whatever, 601 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,479 Speaker 1: the guy comes up and goes there, he's a thousand bucks, right, 602 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm happy he gave me the thousand bucks. 603 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: But I just don't get why he gave me the 604 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: thousand bucks. Yeah, I don't see. I don't see any 605 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: hunters saying we want we want to be featured in 606 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: this state just to stick it to like why just 607 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: to be rabble rousers. Well, no, I think there's because 608 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: they want to say, hey, lest we forget the two 609 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: thirds of this billion dollars over the last six seventy years, no, 610 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: ninety years, lest we forget that it's two thirds of 611 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: it has come from hunters. Let's make sure and so 612 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: I believe it this year's winner. There is a floating 613 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: duck call in the foregrounds cost or something. Yeah, I mean, 614 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: how do you drop center. I don't think it's Sam's 615 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: gonna protest, and not by because he doesn't like it. 616 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: It's like I don't even have a Lanyard's it's what 617 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,479 Speaker 1: it is, a little bit wedged in there. I mean, 618 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm all about this. I appreciate what they're trying 619 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: to do, but it's just I feel like artistically it's 620 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit forced you to prefer just 621 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: like a flat out dead duck. I don't know, maybe 622 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: a blind in the background or somebody somebody out in 623 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: the ky back with a string of a sea duck 624 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: decoys or something like that. Now, it's always been those 625 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: beautiful like wings cupped, soaring coming in right at sunset, 626 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: probably after the legal shooting light right so you can't 627 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: shoot him anyways, But you could just change that from that, 628 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: just that beautiful wing stretched outlook to that one where 629 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: like it's just when he gets hit and he kind 630 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 1: of sometimes his wings, his head falls to the side 631 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: and he sort of has that like gravity is taking 632 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: over moment. They probably considered that one call and it's 633 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: kind of floating in the water. There were a lot 634 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: of details about this. The one that right here, oh 635 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: hold on a minute, is that it's supposed to be 636 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: a decoy or a real duck. Supposed to be a 637 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: real duck. Sam the Landard got hung up on those cantails. 638 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: Oh dang it, I was thinking or anything. It seems 639 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: like I do, I I do like it. I'm just 640 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: I'm just saying and like I'm a traditionalist incorporated hunting 641 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: into a picture better. Yeah, but yeah, it's like his 642 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: lanyards kind of tangled up in some cat tails. Maybe 643 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: from Armistice Day. M Oh yeah, it's like the day 644 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: the duck hunters died. It is. Yes, Spencer just wrote 645 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: an awesome article about that. What do you think about 646 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: all that? Is that that is what they're mad about. 647 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: They saw that and then got mad. Yeah government, No, No, 648 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: they're getting mad about the rule that all submissions now 649 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: have to include hunting in the imagery. I will I 650 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: just want to just that or every year. No, as 651 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: far as I understand it, just from the little research 652 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: that I did, it's going forward. I've got to imagine 653 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: that that will change back though, because these folks from Darien. No, 654 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: because the leadership of the Department of the Interior is 655 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: about to change, gonna get a lot less hunting friendly, 656 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: potentially potential tv D that means to be determined.

And a guy wrote in 661 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: a pretty good explanation of like how ketamine is used 662 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: and wildlife research and how a kademine is used recreationally 663 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: and how ketamine is used as a medical drug, and 664 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: he sent this chart about the more you take, how 665 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: you move from an analgesia?

No, it's not 668 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: a good word. I've never liked that word. It goes 669 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: from a pain reliever it. Yeah, but those things, dude, 670 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: you can't trust. Those things can't trump. No, It's like 671 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: an automated robot.

You must be this, 687 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:10,439 Speaker 1: she smiled, nodded, and took the box on much much 688 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: smaller spot prawns than we're used to catching any dark 689 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: colored like. They weren't cleaned properly. Did you notice that 690 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: when you thaw them? Have you eaten any yet? They 691 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: have iodine color to them. That's I don't see on 692 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: the big dogs. You don't think that's because they're very eggy. 693 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: I feel like that year that we caught all the 694 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: egg laden ones, they were more like this. These tails 695 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: didn't have any eggs on them. Oh no, like more 696 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: than the ones I had as Yeah, I've only eaten 697 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: one bag of years. We ate two bags. They're not mine. 698 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: They sent him to both of us. I handed a 699 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:48,839 Speaker 1: couple out to some co workers too. Uh yeah, as 700 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: you up this ketamine dose, you go into a dissociate, 701 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: dissociated state. But I'm not gonna cover that because we're 702 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: gonna get into something else. Uh Okay, this is why 703 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: people I want you to know. As you're sitting in here. Um, 704 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: so far, it's been pretty typical covered the kind of 705 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: stuff we normally cover. Here, You're gonna see a wild 706 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: deviation in what way we're gonna talk about the thing 707 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,959 Speaker 1: we wouldn't normally talk about. We've only done this once before. 708 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: We've done a book dedicated podcast before twice. Yeah, because 709 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: you and I you know, have actually maybe done this 710 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: might be our fourth. Because I believe we don't did 711 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: one each for the guide books, and we definitely did 712 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 1: one for the cookbook. I don't think if we had, 713 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: I don't think we did. Back you and I. I 714 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: think I flew to Seattle and it was in your 715 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: first house in Seattle, and we were in some crazy 716 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: little high up office, like you had some office on 717 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: the third floor of this old house and we were 718 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: tucked in there. It had like a slanted ceiling and 719 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: we're tucked in there, and yeah, we probably barely knew 720 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: each other, but we went through the first guide book 721 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: True story, all right, So it's a little more typical 722 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: than that thought. A little more typical I thought. So 723 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: never mind all that. So a very typical episode for 724 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: us here where we talk about a new book release 725 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: that we have out. I want to I want to 726 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: start out with a quick story. The last time we 727 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: did this, we did we had an episode a couple 728 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: of years ago which was called Begging and Pleading. This 729 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: might we might call this episode Begging and Pleading re 730 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: Dux Part two, UM one or the other. Begging and 731 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: Pleading was an episode dedicated to our cookbook that we did. 732 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: That was what you guys, you you listeners out there 733 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,760 Speaker 1: came out in such full fledged support of us after 734 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: begging and pleading that all of the cookbooks that existed 735 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: sold before the book was released. Now here's an interesting story. 736 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: It has been Honestna, honest, gonna come out and Titus, 737 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: you can dislike me or whatever, but I'm gonna tell 738 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: you like I want to have like like I would 739 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: like to have a book that was on the new 740 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: York Times best Seller List. Real, real, bad, total vanity bullshit. 741 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,720 Speaker 1: But that's just my dream and hope you guys bought 742 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 1: so many copies of the cookbook. After begging and pleading 743 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: that all the cookbooks that were in existence were sold 744 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:35,919 Speaker 1: before publication date, you all went and bought them on 745 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: Amazon dot Com because Amazon had made a sizeable order. Now, 746 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: I know, as a point, like the New York Times 747 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 1: best seller List looks at how many books were sold 748 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: into in a certain week. However, all of your pre 749 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: orders count during your first week, so you might have 750 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: a book be for sale for three months before it's 751 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: released date. The release date on our new book, which 752 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: is called The Mediator Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival, 753 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: has a December one release date. You could already go 754 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: order it right now. On December one, all the pre 755 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: orders hit, and then you have the seven days after, 756 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: and that all counts for your New York Times bestseller list. Thing. 757 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: What happened with the cookbook is all the copies in 758 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 1: existence all sold through Amazon, and Amazon is historically been 759 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: in like a piston match with the New York Times, 760 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: where the New York Times won't accept Amazon's sales figures independently. 761 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: They need to see it verify because they don't want 762 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: someone like a single company being able to bullshit them 763 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: or have their numbers wrong and report a number and 764 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: then that goes down the list and they can't independently 765 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: verify it through some formula where you look at how 766 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: it's sold in other markets. Because all of our books 767 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: sold and they had to wait for a reprint, no 768 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 1: books sold in other markets. I know as a point 769 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 1: of fact, because my publisher had the umber six book 770 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: on the New York Times in our category are same 771 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: publisher had the number six book that week, and they 772 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: told us that we sold thousands more copies than the 773 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: number six book on the New York Times bestseller list, 774 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: but they didn't count us because it all sold to Amazon. 775 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: That's in bullshit. It's just how it is. I have 776 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: been mad about it ten times already. So have they 777 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: resolved it though? As Amazon like counted now or no, 778 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: they won't count it. They can't. What they're trying to 779 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: prevent two is someone buying their own book onto the 780 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: best seller list, which people have actually successfully done, like 781 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: certain categories. I don't want to spend too much time 782 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: on this ship there are certain categories of books where 783 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: like a like a surprisingly low number, we'll land you 784 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: on the list. There have been people that are just 785 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 1: you know, well funded individuals who could go on and 786 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: do these big bulk orders or have like a bunch 787 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: of their friends do a maximum you can you can 788 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: game the system. So they have this way to try 789 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: to build in where that kind of thing isn't happening, 790 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: and so they want to see, um, they want to 791 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: see that the book is doing well in a variety 792 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: of marketplaces, to the point where this is like kind 793 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: of some weird dirtiness about the list, to the point 794 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: where there are certain independent bookstores, say where on the 795 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 1: New York Times list will value their sales two x. 796 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: It's some weird ask. It is not like what books 797 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,919 Speaker 1: sold the most. It's like an account for the way 798 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: book buying has changed. Either That's what I'm saying. But 799 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: you imagine you got place like that. You know that, 800 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: like there's like a hostility towards the big man, big 801 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: man being Amazon. So all that is meant to say, 802 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 1: as we sell you on this book over the next 803 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: little bit here, We're gonna spend thirty minutes selling you 804 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,479 Speaker 1: on this book. As we sell you on this book, 805 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: I don't really don't. I don't care where you buy 806 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: the damn thing. I want you to have the most 807 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 1: frictional lists interaction possible. But if a little party you, 808 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,359 Speaker 1: a little tac party you says you know what, I'm 809 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: gonna call up Billy's Books down on Main Street and 810 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: order my copy through Billy, I won't be upset. Neither 811 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: will Billy. Oh always good to support small businesses. Yeah, 812 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 1: you need to call that old Bill if you're on 813 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: a first name name bail. Like I said, I want, 814 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: I think people should have a frictionless buying experience. There 815 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: is indisputably a lack of friction and that's in an 816 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,400 Speaker 1: Amazon sale. And by god, if that's that's how you 817 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: want to buy the book, buy the book that way. 818 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 1: The main things you buy the damn book just as 819 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: a favorite to me.

Not a science I 834 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: don't want to dis other best sellers, just like a 835 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: certain cash, a undeniable cash, A that's the one that 836 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 1: everybody cares about.

Uh, okay, a little bit about the book. 847 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: We're gon we're gonna try it. We're gonna do this, 848 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: try to do this in a painless fashion for y'all. 849 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: But it would be after working on the book for years, 850 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,439 Speaker 1: um and a lot of people in the room. What 851 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: it got. A lot of the pride, the primary uh 852 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,439 Speaker 1: folks were in the room, excluding why pe you didn't 853 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 1: he didn't do shipped for the book. I didn't do anything, 854 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: like nothing, didn't even contribute like a nothing. But maybe 855 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: he will with a blurb here later. It's too late 856 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: for the book. So oh, you'll notice in the dedication. 857 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to point out the type. On the dedication, 858 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: someone changed dirt Myth's name to Dirty Myth, which I'll 859 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: never you can't change. It has got to stay that 860 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: way forever. That it's the only mistake I've found. So 861 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: the book is called again. The book is called The 862 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: Meater Guide the Wilderness Skills and Survival. It is how 863 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: many pages long?

Let me tell about why this book exists. 865 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 1: I feel as though the you'll notice that, like in 866 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: the name, wilderness skills precedes survival, right so like the 867 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: me Eater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival, I feel 868 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: as though the survival the survival genre has been kind 869 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 1: of tainted in recent decades, maybe by sort of like 870 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: fantastic estical television portrayals of survival situations that create this 871 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 1: idea that nature, that wilderness are these like horribly dangerous places. Um, 872 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: you best get out of there in a hurry before 873 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: something bad happens to you.

I view this book as being a, 876 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:37,879 Speaker 1: you know, an antidote to that and resetting Wilderness Skills 877 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 1: and Survival to a position where it is very well thought, moderate, 878 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: highly skilled information sets that are passed along to you 879 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: in order that you will feel more functional, capable, comfortable 880 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: in the outdoors, whether you're a professional who works in 881 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,720 Speaker 1: the outdoors, whether you're someone who's taking their kids out camping, 882 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: whether you're just getting into hiking and you're gonna go 883 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,399 Speaker 1: visit a string of national parks, whatever, that you will 884 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: go into the woods with competency and you will understand 885 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,399 Speaker 1: the equipment and skill sets and mindsets involved in all 886 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:27,320 Speaker 1: forms of wilderness travel from like basic recreational too advanced stuff. 887 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 1: It is not a book that's like meant to be 888 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 1: full of crazy cockamami bullshit. In fact, the original title, 889 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 1: working title, yeah, was the No Bullshit Guide the Wilderness 890 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 1: Skills and Survival. Uh. That's the book. And we worked 891 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 1: on it. Um. The folks in this room, Brody Sam 892 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 1: Spencer did work on it. Y'all need to work on 893 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of other people to work on it. We 894 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,280 Speaker 1: collaborated with emergency room doctors of her guides, all kinds 895 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: of uh, you know, mountaineers, consulted with and put together 896 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: a collection of um information that I am very proud 897 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: of to see bound together in a book. And what 898 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna do here is kind of walk through what 899 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 1: you'll find in here in order to give people a 900 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 1: better sense of what's going on. So I'll start up 901 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 1: by talking about the introduction real quick, which is called 902 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: The Surprising Dangers of Some Moors. And one of the 903 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: things begin in this book and try to like a 904 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:44,360 Speaker 1: theme throughout, is that a big part of wilderness travel 905 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 1: and wilderness skill and even even like a survival mentality 906 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 1: is being realistic about risk and threats. I think that 907 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 1: it's easy to have. It's easy to get um preoccupied 908 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 1: with the idea that you're gonna get mauled up by 909 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: a mountain lion in um and you lose sight of 910 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,919 Speaker 1: what actually happens to people. And one of the things 911 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,359 Speaker 1: we found our research that was really surprising is that 912 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: depending on who you go to, so like groups that 913 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 1: keep track, like wilderness groups that that field people out 914 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: in the wilderness, and they keep track of what things 915 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,240 Speaker 1: like over the course of decades, what things are leading 916 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: causes of wilderness evacuations, simple strains and sprains and cooking accidents, 917 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,399 Speaker 1: like when you go out in the woods, you have 918 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 1: a far greater chance of just burning the ship out 919 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: of your hand on a camp stove. Did you hear 920 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 1: Garrett Smith's story? Not the one we poked his eye 921 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 1: out with a pine needle. Not that one. Yeah, that 922 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,720 Speaker 1: one required some skills that could be found in this book, 923 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: But no, exactly that like a five six day trip. 924 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 1: I can't remember what river in Montana. Garrett's a big kayaker, 925 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:04,239 Speaker 1: and uh, he's got a full pot full. What's that 926 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 1: new stove we like so much now? The MSR reactor 927 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: boiling hot water and he goes to grab it and 928 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 1: it kind of slips and half that water goes on 929 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: to the top of his hand. And he just said 930 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: for two months it was just blistered and puffy, and 931 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 1: they were only like it was like their first or 932 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: second night in so he had had like three days 933 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: ahead of him out in the sun gripping a kayak 934 00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,919 Speaker 1: paddle and having to paddle with that wound. I saw 935 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: a bad one of the yeah, one of the worst 936 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,920 Speaker 1: back country injuries. I saw. It was someone where he 937 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 1: had an alcohol stove and it's super bright out in 938 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the day and it's hard to see 939 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: that flame. The flame is blue at NiFe and the daytime, 940 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,320 Speaker 1: it's very hard to see the flame. They thought the 941 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,320 Speaker 1: soap had run out because he couldn't see the flame 942 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 1: and went to free poor alcohol into the stove and 943 00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: that huge, nasty blissed a hand burn also on a 944 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: river trip and there's just nowhere getting I mean, you're 945 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: just there. I mean you could have like really really 946 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,479 Speaker 1: pulled the cord on the whole thing. So no, because 947 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 1: that back then we didn't have like sad phones and 948 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 1: in reach devices, which we cover heavily in this book. Uh, 949 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: surprising Dangerous Moores. Then we get into the next thing. 950 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: We get into and Yani's gonna do a second book report, 951 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 1: your your book reporting on this one. Yeah book report. Uh, 952 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 1: you guys gonna breakdown what to pack and wear, like 953 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 1: how this chapter works. And the introduction Steve that you 954 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 1: just mentioned doesn't count towards the page count, so you 955 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 1: actually get like those six pages for free you buy. 956 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: Do they do that? Can I tell you one quickly? 957 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: Tell me why an introduction isn't countered doesn't start on 958 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 1: page one? I don't really know. That's odd. I'll tell 959 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: you a little book thing. I do know. There's a 960 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: title page, like a lot of books have a title page, 961 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,320 Speaker 1: Like if you go to this book, you hit a 962 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,320 Speaker 1: page or says the me Eater guy to Wilderness Skills 963 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: and survival. But it's just that. And then you go 964 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,800 Speaker 1: to the next page and it has the author and publisher. 965 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: They called this page the bastard page. And if you have, 966 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 1: like an antique book that's been signed by the author, 967 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 1: it's preferable that has been signed by the author not 968 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 1: on the bastard page, but on the page that shows 969 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 1: it's it's lineage, meaning the publisher. There's the thing I 970 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 1: want to mention about the introduction. The introduction I tell 971 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 1: I kind of kick off the book by talking about Yeah, 972 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: I think, Yeahni was here. We're up in the Yukon 973 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 1: Charlie's Rivers Preserve one time and we flew over the 974 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 1: wreckage of a plane that went down during World War 975 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: Two and it was one of the guys on the 976 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: plane was this dude, Leon Crane. Everybody died in it 977 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 1: was an experimental flight in the forties. Everybody died in 978 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,399 Speaker 1: the plane except Leon Crane. And it talks about what 979 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 1: Leon Crane did. He was it took him months, nineties 980 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 1: some days. He was stranded in the middle of the 981 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: winter east of Fairbanks negative twenty and what he did 982 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 1: for those ninety days and the kind of things that 983 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 1: uh he tried in the calculations that he made. And 984 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 1: I get into like why did that dude? Like what 985 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,239 Speaker 1: was it about that guy that knew? Like he just 986 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:33,720 Speaker 1: didn't make any mistakes And you remember flying over that wreckage. 987 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 1: So I talked about I kick off. I talked about 988 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,399 Speaker 1: my brother Danny, who lives in Alaska and works out 989 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 1: a single engine aircraft. He he's he believes in like 990 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,240 Speaker 1: getting up and getting down, like you don't fly around 991 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,320 Speaker 1: extra ship. But what's kind of ironic is I remember 992 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: we kind of flew out of our way a little 993 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: bit to go look at that wreckage, which violates the 994 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,839 Speaker 1: get up, get down principle. But I started by talking 995 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,799 Speaker 1: about that guy and then some other ship. But then 996 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,840 Speaker 1: uh Ni lay out what people will find and what 997 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: to pack and were I will. But first I'd like 998 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,439 Speaker 1: to point out that I had a before this book 999 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 1: I think was even really had its inception. There was 1000 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,799 Speaker 1: like a time when we had maybe three or four, 1001 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: maybe half a dozen ideas of like what's the next 1002 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: book project going to be that we're gonna work on. 1003 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 1: I remember sitting on a plane and chatting with a 1004 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,440 Speaker 1: lady and she's asked me about what I did. I 1005 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 1: was telling her about whatever adventure we were going to 1006 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 1: be on or we had just finished, and she said, 1007 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, that's really a night like way, like not 1008 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: even kind of I think something I would do. She's like, 1009 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 1: I need like help just kind of just like going 1010 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 1: to like the nearest lake, whether there might be like 1011 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 1: a half a mile or a mile hike to it, 1012 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 1: and maybe a little hike around the lake and then 1013 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: getting back to my car in a matter of like 1014 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:52,600 Speaker 1: a couple of hours. She's like that intimidates me, and 1015 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 1: I think we had a conversation soon after about, like, 1016 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's important we make projects like this that 1017 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 1: we really because the vast majority of people out there 1018 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 1: don't have our skill set, maybe not even half of it, 1019 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 1: might be more like a small percentage of our skill set, 1020 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: and they are looking for just the basics to know that, yes, 1021 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable and confident to go to that lake. It's 1022 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,280 Speaker 1: a mile away, it's a big trail going to it, 1023 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't like you And I just don't think 1024 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: that would be intimidating scary to just like be that 1025 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,040 Speaker 1: far away from your car for a matter of hours 1026 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 1: and then come back. We're used to weeks at a time. 1027 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 1: But I think that this book speaks to that person. 1028 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: So you don't have to be Joe Hunter, Joe mountaineer. 1029 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm looking into getting into back country skiing to get 1030 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: valuable information here. It can you can totally be a 1031 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 1: city dweller or the person you're buying it for. It 1032 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 1: can be a city dweller that's looking to get out 1033 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,760 Speaker 1: for the weekend for like a day hike and be like, yeah, 1034 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 1: I read this. There's a lot of stuff. It's like 1035 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 1: beyond me, but there's like I know exactly what's in 1036 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 1: my pack, and if I happen to have some stupid 1037 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: accident out there at the lake, I'm covered. Right. That 1038 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 1: was great. I feel like Yanni's trying to get a 1039 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 1: job at the QVC channel. Man was a phenomenal salesmanship. 1040 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,520 Speaker 1: I had to make up after my poor book show 1041 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: and just started out, started out, I caught you by surprise. 1042 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he really saved it. And now he's got 1043 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 1: to back up. At the top of the chapter one 1044 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: is what to pack and where? And um, you start 1045 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: off with the story of you and your brother is 1046 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 1: going dollar sheep hunting and sort of trying to weigh, 1047 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: you know, what's too much and what's too little, and 1048 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,400 Speaker 1: trying to find that compromise where when you're in the middle, 1049 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 1: you're like, you're getting the experience of being out in 1050 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 1: the wild, but you're also safe, right, so you don't 1051 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: want to go out there and just have so much 1052 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: stuff and be burdened by everything that you're carrying around. 1053 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 1: And then you really have your experience. Isn't that much 1054 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 1: different than if you were to have lunch at home 1055 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 1: in your backyard, right, But having enough that again rainshower 1056 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 1: comes along, you don't get soaked and get cold and 1057 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,160 Speaker 1: have a miserable time. Yeah, versus being like so minimalist 1058 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 1: that you're vulnerable, Like you're so minimalist that you're great 1059 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 1: as long as things go real well and the weather 1060 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 1: stays a certain way and and one thing to the next. Yeah, 1061 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 1: so bait and and what's cool is that you have 1062 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 1: a just like we did in the guide books. We 1063 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 1: had a lot of outside experts way in. And I 1064 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 1: believe that in this chapter, I saw that Rendy Warren 1065 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 1: weighs in and Brad Brooks anybody else Brody and that 1066 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: chapter I think that's about it. Yeah, but they kind 1067 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 1: of they kind of talk about both there and the 1068 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: spectrum there, like this ultra light guy and the guy 1069 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't mind carrying a little bit more gear to 1070 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: have it um. I want to point out something real 1071 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 1: quick about kind of how it flows. So a part 1072 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 1: of it flows like the survival kits overview, a basic 1073 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: survival kit which gets into your basic like how to 1074 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,400 Speaker 1: build a basic med survive a kit, then a big 1075 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: list of ship that's called extra ship for your basic kit, 1076 01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: and then you get into the official Ocean Jury rig Kit, 1077 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 1: which is like more advanced. And I want to point 1078 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: out that the book kind of flows like that in general, 1079 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 1: where things start out in every chapter starts out like 1080 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,040 Speaker 1: everything is great, Like, for instance, water starts out like 1081 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 1: if your car caping, how much water do you bring 1082 01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 1: per person per day? And what does that get you? 1083 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 1: Ends with how to source water when in the absence 1084 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: of surface water? So every chapter flows like everything is 1085 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 1: perfect too. Oh, and that's the general path through. There's 1086 01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:39,800 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff I think that in here that 1087 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 1: you'll find and probably a lot of other like minded books, 1088 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: Like they's just stuff that you can't not talk about, 1089 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 1: like how to um, what's the system called we use 1090 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,440 Speaker 1: the tarp in the hole in the ground to get water, 1091 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 1: Like that's a legit thing to do, right, that's in 1092 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 1: in a upcoming chapter. But but I like here, like 1093 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 1: in this one instance, it's like the the extra stuff 1094 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 1: that you guys want to think about to add Like 1095 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: we're in the what pack and were chapter, but you 1096 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 1: guys did like an extra part for like specifically kids 1097 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 1: right like, it's it's different. You gotta think about it. 1098 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,920 Speaker 1: Kids get wet somehow when it's like nine degrees outside, 1099 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 1: you're in the desert, and somehow sons of bitches are 1100 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 1: soaked to the bone. You know. Uh. We one time 1101 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 1: took our kids. We're up in Alaska, and I was 1102 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,880 Speaker 1: advocating not bringing a lot of clothes for the kids 1103 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 1: because I was like, they'll just wear him dry, like 1104 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, it was like you and our kid 1105 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,840 Speaker 1: right away wades out into the water. He's two wads, 1106 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: wades out into the water. So he's now he's soaked 1107 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 1: up to his waist and I'm like, well, yeah, but 1108 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,080 Speaker 1: he'll just have to wear him dry. And my wife's like, 1109 01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 1: well he also shipped his pants out there. You can't 1110 01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:01,120 Speaker 1: wear that dry wearing anything trying south the hard but 1111 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 1: when you got a dump in your pants, oh um, yeah, 1112 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have too much else to say 1113 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 1: about the chapter. I think that you should buy the 1114 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 1: book and read and see what all is in there. 1115 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: There even includes and and and and uh. We had um. 1116 01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,720 Speaker 1: We made sure to go in and have a female 1117 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 1: contributor tackle this one, but we got one called mountaineering 1118 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 1: tricks for saggy under things, and it's a it's information 1119 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 1: on sports bros. There you go. Steve Lays had a 1120 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,440 Speaker 1: nice detailed packing and unpacking system in there, which I 1121 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,640 Speaker 1: think is pretty valuable because a lot of people just 1122 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: kind of throw their ship and in a backpack and go. 1123 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 1: There's a condemnation of metal wedding rings, recover packs, knives, tools, shovels, 1124 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,080 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Oh and we also have 1125 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 1: in every chapter like tips section, And that's when you're 1126 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 1: writing a book. A lot of times you end up 1127 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: with a lot of extra stuff you wanted to talk about, 1128 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,720 Speaker 1: but you can't make it fit nice um and in 1129 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 1: in narrative uh, in narrative nonfiction or novels and stuff 1130 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 1: you just want up you can't do it, like there's 1131 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,320 Speaker 1: no way to do it. But in a book like this, 1132 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 1: you just have a thing called like extra stuff and 1133 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 1: then you just pile in all the stuff that you 1134 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 1: couldn't make fit normally. It's a way to do it 1135 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 1: real efficiently, to like just lay it out there quick 1136 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: and really why first chapter covered pretty well. I think 1137 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 1: it's good, and it from somebody who didn't write this book. 1138 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: So I can be an outside of perspective. I think 1139 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: it's important too that like a lot of people could 1140 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: be disassociated when they think the only time you need 1141 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,479 Speaker 1: this is like, oh, you're in a plane crash or something. 1142 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 1: But what Y'ahanni's saying to where it's like it could 1143 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: be as simple as going the wrong way on the trail, 1144 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 1: and then you need some of these skills where it's 1145 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 1: like very accessible, you know what I mean. For me, 1146 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,480 Speaker 1: that's like huge because it's like I could I could 1147 01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,840 Speaker 1: gain abilities that I might not have had just from reading. 1148 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,200 Speaker 1: And it's it doesn't have to be some crazy scenario. 1149 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: It could be like everyday stuff. You know, did we 1150 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 1: pay you anything to be here? No? But I'm serious 1151 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 1: because that's true though a lot of times you're like 1152 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 1: if I tried to tell my fiance like, hey, this 1153 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 1: guy was in you know, the Sahara and his plane crash, 1154 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 1: she's already tuned me out. If it's like, hey, we're hiking, 1155 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 1: she tuned me out when I started talking. But it's 1156 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,920 Speaker 1: like if you're just hiking, that happened to me like 1157 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, we're on mountains. I started like, yeah, 1158 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,560 Speaker 1: this is the way We ran into these bird watching 1159 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 1: guys that were like up on this survey, who were like, 1160 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 1: what the hell are you guys doing out here? I 1161 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 1: was taking us across this ridge that was headed into 1162 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,920 Speaker 1: like nowhere. These are skills I could have used if 1163 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 1: I didn't run into those guys or so I would 1164 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 1: have been screwed. We didn't pay you, But it would 1165 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 1: be awkward if you said, like this is stupid. Yeah, 1166 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: you know what, guys six out of ten, I don't 1167 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,480 Speaker 1: know by it. Maybe that'd be weird. No, man, day 1168 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,560 Speaker 1: hikers get lost and injured all the time. My niece 1169 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 1: lives in the Pacific Northwest, and she was out on 1170 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,400 Speaker 1: a hike and busted her leg and spent the night 1171 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: overnight until some and came by. You know, just just 1172 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 1: this past year about the elk hunter in Colorado that's 1173 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 1: got super lost. They only found him because they decided 1174 01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 1: on a whim to go to area where he wasn't 1175 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,600 Speaker 1: supposed to even have gone into. No, I didn't hear 1176 01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 1: this story, all right, Sam, Sam's gonna cover a cult 1177 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: before us that he worked very hard on. Yeah, well, 1178 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 1: I did uh water and food which sounds very simple 1179 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 1: on the outset, and got real complicated on me real quick. 1180 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 1: But um, you know if we felt like water was 1181 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 1: you know first and foremost after you know what you bring, 1182 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,720 Speaker 1: what you wear because you know it's the the elixir 1183 01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 1: of life. Um. And so first of all, we talked 1184 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,720 Speaker 1: about you know, how much water you need? I mean, 1185 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,040 Speaker 1: that's that's one of the biggest problems that people run into, 1186 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: is not bringing enough water or not knowing how to 1187 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 1: obtain water or or or or how to how to 1188 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,880 Speaker 1: know what water you can trust. Uh. So we start 1189 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 1: off with with how much how much water you need 1190 01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,919 Speaker 1: basically you know, for a day to to to live 1191 01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 1: and sit in an office or your couch downstairs. But um, 1192 01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, getting into how how that ramps up exponentially 1193 01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 1: once you're outside doing stuff. Um. And and we we go, 1194 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 1: we go into the math of how how you know 1195 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 1: how much you need because you know, there's a lot 1196 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,320 Speaker 1: of there's a lot of days hunting this time of 1197 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: year where it's cold and you're doing a lot of sitting, 1198 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 1: and you know, bring analogy with you for is is 1199 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 1: probably gonna suffice for a day, but then earlier in 1200 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 1: the season when it's seventy five degrees Um, you know, 1201 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,200 Speaker 1: so you can, you can bring you can bring four 1202 01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: liters sometimes and be down to the bottom by the 1203 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,240 Speaker 1: end of the day. Uh, I have information on how 1204 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:43,360 Speaker 1: to trick yourself into drinking, which is my problem. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Yeah, 1205 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 1: it's nice to have some tricks to, uh just get 1206 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:48,800 Speaker 1: more liquids in and spice it up a little bit, 1207 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 1: because it can be a little boring to drink nothing 1208 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 1: but water. For if it's like below freezing. I'll go 1209 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 1: a day and look at my water bottle and I 1210 01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,640 Speaker 1: do that too, but then like the next day, I'm 1211 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm all sore and cramp it up and stuff, and 1212 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,720 Speaker 1: it's because you don't drink. One of my one of 1213 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 1: my favorite pieces we wrote about this is the highly 1214 01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 1: divisive subject of water bladders. I'm a I'm a camel 1215 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,919 Speaker 1: back guy, always have been, um, but I know I'm 1216 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 1: among a minority here with my colleagues as a as 1217 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 1: a camel back dude. And I don't do it all 1218 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: year because you run into problems once it starts getting cold. 1219 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,720 Speaker 1: But I love having it so available. I just drink 1220 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 1: so much more water when when it's just like right 1221 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 1: there and you don't have to dig it dig the 1222 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: water bottle out of your pack when you're stopped and 1223 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: you can you can eat drink it on the on 1224 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 1: the run. But yeah, we we discuss all the different 1225 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,920 Speaker 1: ways to carry your water. But then we get into 1226 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,440 Speaker 1: the fun stuff that Steve has a lot more experience 1227 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,320 Speaker 1: with than I do. But need need little words like 1228 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 1: gar dias giardias is gearediass isn't I butchered that cryptosporidium 1229 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 1: nailed it. Um as sharisia cool I e coal I 1230 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,519 Speaker 1: to most people. But you know this the ship you 1231 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 1: can get from drinking unfiltered water. And uh, you know 1232 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,280 Speaker 1: many of us have have just sipped out of a 1233 01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 1: creek before. I mean I remember going on a three 1234 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 1: day hiking trip and that's all I did because I 1235 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 1: forgot my water filter. Um didn't. I didn't feel great afterwards. 1236 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,200 Speaker 1: But we go in go real deep into water filters. 1237 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different ones in the market, a 1238 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: lot of different um yeah, pros and cons and UV 1239 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 1: pens or stay pens, pros and cons on ceramic filters, 1240 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 1: pros and cons on gravity fed filters, absolutely sunlight boiling. Yeah, 1241 01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,960 Speaker 1: and we go we go all into where you where 1242 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,559 Speaker 1: you find water because that can be a really tricky 1243 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 1: thing too, especially if you don't have a filter where 1244 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,960 Speaker 1: where you can find water you might be able to trust. 1245 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,560 Speaker 1: And I think that's where you know, we differentiate a 1246 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 1: little bit here from some other similar books, is that 1247 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 1: you know this is this is like you can you 1248 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,880 Speaker 1: can drink unfiltered water if you have to. You're not 1249 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 1: necessarily going to die. It's maybe not a good idea, 1250 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,000 Speaker 1: but you know that these things are available to you, 1251 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: and they're they're there are ways. There are other ways 1252 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 1: to to get clean water or make clean water. Um, 1253 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 1: if you don't have a filter, including you know, like 1254 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: we said, solar still transpiration bag, you can you can 1255 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 1: even use u V. I I didn't know this, but 1256 01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 1: in Africa they use uv to filter their water all 1257 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,400 Speaker 1: the time. They just use plastic waters and leave it 1258 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 1: out in the sun for a few days. It's clean. 1259 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,639 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hot, but you know it's it's gonna 1260 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:35,799 Speaker 1: be clean. Uh So yeah, I mean water is important 1261 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,759 Speaker 1: as anything when you're out doing this kind of stuff. 1262 01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: One of the things we get into it too, is 1263 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 1: like the science of how to rash and water, So 1264 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 1: like what when you have limited water, how do you 1265 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 1: parse it out? Spencer. We've covered this for on the podcast, 1266 01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:02,680 Speaker 1: but Spencer covers in the book, um, why not to 1267 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: drink your pa oh, and in real quick tells some 1268 01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,800 Speaker 1: other like we like don't like, we try not to 1269 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 1: give a bunch of bullshit, but some things, there's some 1270 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,760 Speaker 1: bullshitty things are so pervasive that we actually had a 1271 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: touch on them. So especially, do you mind hitting on 1272 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 1: a couple of things we had to touch on. Yes, 1273 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,080 Speaker 1: So we we had like, uh, I don't know, five 1274 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:20,880 Speaker 1: or six sidebars in the book, maybe one for each 1275 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 1: chapter on sort of things that are really prevalent thinking, 1276 01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: um that we basically said bullshit on, you know, like 1277 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 1: moss only grows on the north side of a tree, 1278 01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:37,559 Speaker 1: or you should uh be drinking your urine, or that 1279 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,960 Speaker 1: men's stuating women are more likely to be attacked by bears, 1280 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Um. My favorite sidebar that 1281 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,439 Speaker 1: we covered was in the last chapter, I think on 1282 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:51,240 Speaker 1: the the medical part, um basically looking at some really 1283 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:56,040 Speaker 1: popular movie tropes like cowboy cauterization, which I don't know 1284 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,320 Speaker 1: if that's like the universal term, but that's what we've 1285 01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: been referring to it as Like in Rambo three, Rambo 1286 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,040 Speaker 1: finds himself in a very familiar situation. He is injured, 1287 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:11,599 Speaker 1: he's alone, and he's shirtless, and he's got he's got 1288 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,680 Speaker 1: a wicked wound in his abdomen. He pulls out a 1289 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 1: piece of shrakt stick didn't he I don't know, I 1290 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:22,280 Speaker 1: don't know. That cannot be it. He pulls out a 1291 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,280 Speaker 1: piece of shrapness at the size of his pinky from 1292 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 1: his abdomen. He then fills it with gunpowder and lights 1293 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,679 Speaker 1: it on fire. And there's this like he's in a cave, 1294 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 1: of course, and it's painful to him. Yeah, and it 1295 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,560 Speaker 1: lights up the whole cave and he passes painful, Yeah, 1296 01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,519 Speaker 1: and uh, he staves off infection and he goes on 1297 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 1: in the movie. I put this in our original draft. 1298 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,439 Speaker 1: He didn't make it in the book about how he 1299 01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,840 Speaker 1: finishes the movie because it's just so badass, like how 1300 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,200 Speaker 1: many people he killed? Well, and no, like the series 1301 01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,560 Speaker 1: of events afterwards. He goes on to steal a helicopter, 1302 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:57,240 Speaker 1: crashes that helicopter. He then steals a tank, crashes the 1303 01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 1: tank into a helicopter, and then saves a a all 1304 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,920 Speaker 1: because he was able to do this cowboy cauterization. Now 1305 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,360 Speaker 1: we talked to uh Dr. Alan Lazzaro said, you absolutely 1306 01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 1: should not do that. An emergency room physician who we 1307 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,640 Speaker 1: consulted with heavily in the book, Yep, he did not 1308 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 1: caught her eyes with gunpowder. Yeah, they said, those are 1309 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,000 Speaker 1: very very fine instruments that are like going on exact 1310 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,320 Speaker 1: spots on your skin. If you do this cowboy cauterization 1311 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,679 Speaker 1: where you're lighting your stomach on fire doing some self arson, 1312 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 1: you're like taking one step forward by stopping the bleeding, 1313 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,439 Speaker 1: but five steps back you know, have through degree burns. 1314 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,839 Speaker 1: You're going to get infected. Even worse, you have dead tissue. 1315 01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,320 Speaker 1: It's just a really bad idea. And and even aside 1316 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 1: from from adding gunpowder, I mean I feel like there's 1317 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,120 Speaker 1: John Wayne or you know old Westerns where they would 1318 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,640 Speaker 1: like get a knife hot and in a fire and 1319 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,559 Speaker 1: then then press it to the to the wound to 1320 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,479 Speaker 1: to cauterize it seal up stop the bleeding. And it's 1321 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 1: also very very bad idea. Yeah. I think could be 1322 01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 1: gist of sensors pieces don't do ship you see and move. Yeah, 1323 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:04,439 Speaker 1: the other one is sucking snake venom. Right, this is 1324 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:09,160 Speaker 1: very common Western trope. Um. I think the first example 1325 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,439 Speaker 1: I found was from nineteen seven, in a novel called 1326 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,960 Speaker 1: The Pearl, A mother sucks scorpion venom from a baby. 1327 01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:18,200 Speaker 1: That was just all the way uptien red Dead Redemption 1328 01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 1: to a video game, the main character sucks cotton mouth 1329 01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 1: venom from a stranger. This it's very common. This has 1330 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:31,400 Speaker 1: been told of all. Yes, that's a good one happens there. 1331 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,519 Speaker 1: That was like the first example I could find of this. 1332 01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 1: So what, what's what? What's the story there? Tell people? 1333 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,840 Speaker 1: The story typically the heroin stumbles upon somebody who's been 1334 01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 1: bitten by a snake. They then get out their oversized 1335 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 1: knife um cut an x in it rapid turnikin above 1336 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,360 Speaker 1: the snake wound too. I don't know why I prevented 1337 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,160 Speaker 1: from spreading further in the body. Maybe that's the idea. 1338 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,320 Speaker 1: And then they suck the venom out of the wound, 1339 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 1: really furiously spit that venom out right like like like dirt. 1340 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 1: Myth yep uh. The reality is you absolutely should not 1341 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,920 Speaker 1: do that. The venom spreads so fast that there's no 1342 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 1: like getting the horse back in the barn. You're also like, say, 1343 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 1: this is a second party assisting you in this, You're 1344 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:21,320 Speaker 1: just risking them then getting the venom in themselves as well. 1345 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,880 Speaker 1: You shouldn't do it um And I've seen this sort 1346 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,599 Speaker 1: of thing like these sort of this stuff is so prevalent, 1347 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,960 Speaker 1: like I said before, that it's just like accepted, that's 1348 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 1: what you do. When I was in high school, I 1349 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,519 Speaker 1: was working for a number of different farmers in the area. 1350 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:39,680 Speaker 1: One guy did exclusively pigs, and we before shipping the 1351 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 1: pigs out, I think, to prevent shipping fever, which is 1352 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:48,360 Speaker 1: just pneumonia, we would vaccinate the pigs with penicillin. And 1353 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,519 Speaker 1: it's this really really chaotic scene when this is happening. 1354 01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,679 Speaker 1: It's too man job. One guy is in the stall 1355 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,679 Speaker 1: that's probably the size of this room with dozens of pigs, 1356 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,680 Speaker 1: the other guys running a gate letting the pigs in 1357 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 1: and out, and like if you imagine getting vaccinated like 1358 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,000 Speaker 1: a toddler, it's a very delicate process, right where they 1359 01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:09,200 Speaker 1: stick the needle in and whatever. It's a very delicate thing. 1360 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,560 Speaker 1: That's not the case with giving pigs penicillin. There's a 1361 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: big lot of stabbing going on. And once you vaccinate 1362 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 1: one of the pigs and the hip you spray paint 1363 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,200 Speaker 1: them so you mark that you know this one's been done, right, 1364 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,280 Speaker 1: it's it's just a lot of chaos and the pigs, 1365 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,720 Speaker 1: the pig squill, etcetera. The one guy I was with 1366 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 1: and we were doing this something like that, but times 1367 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,280 Speaker 1: times of thousand, times a thousand, the pigs are running 1368 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,439 Speaker 1: there in between your legs stiff. The one guy was 1369 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: with swung down, he missed a pig, and he stabbed 1370 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,519 Speaker 1: himself in the thigh and injected all in one motion, 1371 01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 1: stuck himself inject himself with the penicillin. Whatever. We go 1372 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,360 Speaker 1: out and the farm hand calls the farmer and he 1373 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 1: explains to him what happened. On one hand, right, he 1374 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 1: had stuck himself with penicillin, which is like, is that 1375 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 1: an antibiotic? So you stuck yourself with penision. On the 1376 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,080 Speaker 1: other hand, this needle had been in hundreds of pigs, 1377 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: and this was peak swine flew time. Um. I was 1378 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 1: a junior in high school in two thousand nine, so 1379 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,639 Speaker 1: that was like top of mind as well. He calls 1380 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 1: the farmer and he tells him what happens. Philip was 1381 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 1: the farm hand. Fred was a farmer. Philip tells Fred 1382 01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,000 Speaker 1: what happened, and there's a long pause and Fred thinks 1383 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: about it and he says, well, Philip, did you try 1384 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,919 Speaker 1: to suck it out? As if that was a solution. 1385 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,200 Speaker 1: So it's just prevalent stuff like that that makes it 1386 01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,519 Speaker 1: into you know, the psyche of everybody, and it's just 1387 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,800 Speaker 1: like a solution to a problem. But it's not. Uh, 1388 01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,320 Speaker 1: And we don't just curse the darkness. We light a 1389 01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:45,160 Speaker 1: candle about telling you what you do do when he 1390 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,120 Speaker 1: gets stung by a snake, zapped whatever you call it 1391 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 1: by a snake, and what you do do when you 1392 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,559 Speaker 1: have a chump of shrapnel or bullet in you. So 1393 01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,240 Speaker 1: it's not all this negative Nancy. That's right. When Rambo 1394 01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,599 Speaker 1: had that wound, he should have been lighting himself on fire. 1395 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 1: He should have taking his headband out of his luscious 1396 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 1: locks and he used as a tourniquet. That would have 1397 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: been much more simple, much more effective. Uh, you're just 1398 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 1: saying something. Maybe you want to say something. I don't know, 1399 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,679 Speaker 1: talking about food, Sam, I'll talk about food. Steve.

What? 1465 01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:39,720 Speaker 1: I mean, what what can you eat out there? That's 1466 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,760 Speaker 1: always really the captivating part of any survival story is 1467 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: like what did they eat? Um? And you find out 1468 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,600 Speaker 1: that people live on you know, have lived on lizards 1469 01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:54,080 Speaker 1: and eels and even certain types of berries for for 1470 01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,720 Speaker 1: long periods of time. UM. And this is where this 1471 01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:58,519 Speaker 1: chapter got away from you a little bit. I remember 1472 01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,400 Speaker 1: you asking me for about eight thousand words, and I 1473 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:05,080 Speaker 1: think I turned in like thirty thousand because UM basically 1474 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:09,320 Speaker 1: basically went through everything you can eat in the wild 1475 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,240 Speaker 1: areas of North America. We had to condense that a 1476 01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,720 Speaker 1: little bit. On the food fruits and berries part. I 1477 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 1: worked with a friend of yours, Samuel Thayer, who's just 1478 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 1: oh the man when it comes to uh, wild plants. 1479 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:27,000 Speaker 1: He's a UM. He's a foraging author and instructor and 1480 01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,559 Speaker 1: wild foods expert based in Wisconsin. And he was telling 1481 01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 1: me we were talking on the phone, he goes survival camping. 1482 01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 1: It's just like for for fun. He'll go out with 1483 01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 1: nothing and just find shipped eat for a week. And 1484 01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,639 Speaker 1: I was like, that's pretty bad. He knows his ship, 1485 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,280 Speaker 1: he knows the ship real well. So he helped me 1486 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:49,640 Speaker 1: narrow it down to about about two dozen different plants 1487 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:58,040 Speaker 1: like commonly widely available, easily identified wild plants without dead 1488 01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:03,879 Speaker 1: ringer killers. Absolutely, So it's like, well, it's got six 1489 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 1: lobes on the leaf that will kill you, but it's 1490 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,880 Speaker 1: got five lobes, it's pretty tasty. We help you steer 1491 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,439 Speaker 1: clear of the things that you're gonna screw up. Yeah, 1492 01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: I mean, and this even helped me this this spring, 1493 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,320 Speaker 1: a buddy and I were out looking for Morrel's and 1494 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,479 Speaker 1: he's like, oh, this is this is wild onion. We 1495 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 1: pulled popped out the bulbs and and I was like, man, 1496 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:24,960 Speaker 1: this isn't really look right. And and I had just 1497 01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,880 Speaker 1: written this section, and and he ate it and he's like, oh, 1498 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:32,160 Speaker 1: that's a little sour, a little little tart um, And 1499 01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:33,880 Speaker 1: I was like thinking. I was like, man, isn't it 1500 01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 1: There's something about flat, Like no the wild onion. Wild 1501 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,559 Speaker 1: onions are supposed to be around stem, and this is flat. 1502 01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 1: This is wild iris. And we're both eating one at 1503 01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 1: this point, and I'm like, oh, we shouldn't have done that. 1504 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 1: Should we maybe make ourselves throw up? Should have read 1505 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,599 Speaker 1: the book? Should have read the book?

Where we started in with shellfish, 1523 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 1: you know, crayfish, mollusks, crabs, bivalves, um, stuff. I grew 1524 01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,400 Speaker 1: up doing, you know, hopping tide pools and stuff. But 1525 01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 1: you know, if you're in a you're in a coastal area, 1526 01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:53,920 Speaker 1: that's probably the best way to feed yourself. Then we 1527 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 1: get into fish. Obviously, I uh didn't didn't leave any 1528 01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,599 Speaker 1: stone unturned there, uh um. But you know there's there's 1529 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,040 Speaker 1: a lot of cool, cool ways to uh to catch fish. 1530 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 1: I had just filmed a little video a couple of 1531 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:08,800 Speaker 1: weeks ago with some of these tips that we have 1532 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,680 Speaker 1: in here. I went and caught Brookie with a a 1533 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:15,639 Speaker 1: piece of line and a stick. I chopped candy rapper 1534 01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:17,280 Speaker 1: for a lure, and then I made a little fire 1535 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 1: and spit it up and ate it and the whole 1536 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:21,920 Speaker 1: the whole thing took about half an hour. So it's 1537 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, obviously we drove there for with that specific 1538 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,720 Speaker 1: thing in mind, but you know, it's some of these 1539 01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 1: things are really doable. UM, fish traps, trot lines, set lines, 1540 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:38,639 Speaker 1: fish spears, UM got we've got the you know, little 1541 01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:42,920 Speaker 1: emergency survival kid. I love this. We had Joe surm Melli.

Um. And the 1546 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,479 Speaker 1: stuff they would bring, uh you know, they're not bringing 1547 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,240 Speaker 1: rap Paula's, they're not bringing anything fancy. But you know, 1548 01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:04,240 Speaker 1: a silver or gold spoon, it's pretty much all you need. 1549 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: But as I as I showed the other day, a 1550 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,160 Speaker 1: bear hook with a little chunk of candy rapper works 1551 01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:12,120 Speaker 1: just just fine on brook trout. And uh, you know, 1552 01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 1: we kind of work our way through from the from 1553 01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,760 Speaker 1: the easier stuff to catch kind of the less advanced 1554 01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:25,120 Speaker 1: animals into trickier and bigger things. We've got amphibians, we've 1555 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:32,320 Speaker 1: got reptiles, lizards, turtles, crocodilians, birds.

The food chapter ends with my favorite section, 1563 01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 1: which is called and lastly a few thoughts on cannibalism, 1564 01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,639 Speaker 1: and we lay that whole situation out if you make 1565 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 1: it that far, will you do it?

Then you move into shelter 1627 01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:40,560 Speaker 1: and basically we go over uh different types of shelters, 1628 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:46,439 Speaker 1: focusing on tents and all the different kinds of tents 1629 01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:48,800 Speaker 1: and sizes of tents, and how to pick the right 1630 01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:52,439 Speaker 1: tent for what you're doing. UM, you know, with the 1631 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:54,800 Speaker 1: knowledge in mind that a three season tent is probably 1632 01:30:54,840 --> 01:31:00,280 Speaker 1: the most versatile. UM. And then just getting into two 1633 01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 1: different types of tents within that, like backpacking tense family tents. 1634 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:10,080 Speaker 1: You know how to use a tarp to create a shelter. 1635 01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:13,559 Speaker 1: We we you know, oftentimes when we're out in the field, 1636 01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:16,000 Speaker 1: we're setting up a little sun or rain or wind 1637 01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,639 Speaker 1: shelter with just just using a tarp. It's a soup 1638 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,799 Speaker 1: like you can pack one of those things that's basically 1639 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:25,200 Speaker 1: the size of your fist inside your backpack and always 1640 01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:28,280 Speaker 1: have some kind of shelter with you. Then we get 1641 01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:32,559 Speaker 1: into sleeping bags and choosing a sleeping bag synthetic versus 1642 01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 1: down versus this new treated down that they have an 1643 01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:41,360 Speaker 1: understanding temperature ratings and sleeping bags, and and giving yourself 1644 01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 1: a buffer. It's a good idea to always give yourself 1645 01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:47,719 Speaker 1: a buffer going a little let's sleep with a sleeping 1646 01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,240 Speaker 1: bag that's rated a little colder than what you expect 1647 01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:54,960 Speaker 1: to run into. UM. We got some more lists of 1648 01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,799 Speaker 1: tips and tricks like Steve was talking about for staying 1649 01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:01,800 Speaker 1: warm and drying comfy in there, um, and then we 1650 01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,480 Speaker 1: get into like campsites and picking and choosing a campsite 1651 01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:09,479 Speaker 1: preparing it, and after that we kind of get into 1652 01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:15,280 Speaker 1: the old school survival book uh idea of of building 1653 01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 1: emergency shelters. Um. Starting out with stuff you can carry 1654 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 1: around like contractors, bags and tarps and things like that, 1655 01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:28,800 Speaker 1: and moving on to like just finding natural shelters like 1656 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,600 Speaker 1: tree wells or digging a snow cave or building a 1657 01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:36,320 Speaker 1: lean to or like all that kind of stuff. And 1658 01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:41,960 Speaker 1: then we uh get into building fires. And that's a 1659 01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 1: big section because a lot of times, uh, staying warm 1660 01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 1: is gonna mean you have the ability to light and 1661 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,800 Speaker 1: maintain a fire. So we have a long section in 1662 01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:57,880 Speaker 1: there on finding fire building materials and what you should 1663 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:02,599 Speaker 1: be carrying to build a fire, like you know, bick 1664 01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 1: lighters like were we all carry probably multiple bick lighters 1665 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 1: in our packs, but we also have backup systems like 1666 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:14,479 Speaker 1: a firestick, magnesium fire sticks, all kinds of info on 1667 01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:17,439 Speaker 1: fires in their great good stuff in there. It's a 1668 01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:23,479 Speaker 1: good section. Um more skills. Have a question, do you 1669 01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:28,040 Speaker 1: are in there recommend that people practice Yeah, definitely. Yeah, 1670 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:32,479 Speaker 1: different ways, especially under shitty conditions. You know. Yeah, like 1671 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:35,840 Speaker 1: we've all been in Southeast Alaska. It's Steve's cabin where 1672 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:42,000 Speaker 1: getting a fire started and a stove as hard. You know, 1673 01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:43,800 Speaker 1: how many of us have been on that trip where 1674 01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:45,880 Speaker 1: you like, you know, what you do the fire, I'm 1675 01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,280 Speaker 1: gonna go do X, Y and Z. Weever might be 1676 01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,200 Speaker 1: the other chores you need to get done. I'll get 1677 01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:55,679 Speaker 1: thirty minutes later you come back. Where's the fire, bro? 1678 01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:02,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely practice us that ship. Like Remy Warren 1679 01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 1: says when he's late season el cunting, he makes a 1680 01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 1: little fire every time he sits down to glass. Yeah, yeah, 1681 01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:10,479 Speaker 1: just just you know, keep the keep the tool sharp. 1682 01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:14,360 Speaker 1: So that's pretty much that that chapter how to Stay 1683 01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:18,920 Speaker 1: dry and warm and uh navigation wilderness travel. One thing 1684 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:20,360 Speaker 1: you'll find, like one thing we do in this book 1685 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 1: that no other book like this has is we have 1686 01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:28,559 Speaker 1: a lot of very up to date technical information about 1687 01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:36,520 Speaker 1: UM devices. So how do you use mapping apps, mapping software, 1688 01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:40,000 Speaker 1: how to use in reach devices. So instead of getting 1689 01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:41,320 Speaker 1: you know, we do cover all some of the old 1690 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:45,360 Speaker 1: basic tricks about you know, celestial navigation and kind of 1691 01:34:45,479 --> 01:34:47,240 Speaker 1: a lot of such as interesting and good to know. 1692 01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:49,320 Speaker 1: But we also covered like just how to avoid trouble 1693 01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:52,320 Speaker 1: by using technology. Um, you can avoid a lot of trouble. 1694 01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:54,479 Speaker 1: I brought us up recently on a on A when 1695 01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,720 Speaker 1: I was talking to I was on Tim Ferris to 1696 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:58,200 Speaker 1: show we're talking about the book, and I said that 1697 01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:02,519 Speaker 1: mcfee's trilogy on g apology animals of the Former World 1698 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:04,880 Speaker 1: in it. He says, Um, if I could sum up 1699 01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:06,680 Speaker 1: this book in one sentence, it would be that the 1700 01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:11,280 Speaker 1: top of Mount Everest is made from marine limestone. Um. 1701 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 1: If I was gonna sum up this book in one sentence, 1702 01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:17,760 Speaker 1: I'd probably say, like on X and in reach, or 1703 01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:19,840 Speaker 1: get on X and in reach. It's like, there's a 1704 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:24,200 Speaker 1: lot of things you can do today for very small 1705 01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:28,080 Speaker 1: amounts of money that, if done properly, can eliminate the 1706 01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:32,719 Speaker 1: chance of risk. I shouldn't say that damn near damn 1707 01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:36,479 Speaker 1: near eliminate chance. And even if something bad happens, those 1708 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:39,439 Speaker 1: two things are gonna make getting out of it alive 1709 01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:43,839 Speaker 1: way way easier. They don't. They don't solve all your problems, 1710 01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:45,439 Speaker 1: But holy smokes man, a lot of times you read 1711 01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:47,360 Speaker 1: about people in trouble, you're like that dude should have 1712 01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:51,479 Speaker 1: had of this. Uh. We talked about spatial awareness in 1713 01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:53,720 Speaker 1: the navigation mindset, which is probably one of the best 1714 01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:55,720 Speaker 1: things you can give and talk about. Wilderness travel is 1715 01:35:55,760 --> 01:36:00,639 Speaker 1: just trying to develop spatial awareness strategy so you understand 1716 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:04,880 Speaker 1: what's going on around you. Navigation tools, modern technology, old 1717 01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:08,120 Speaker 1: school woodsmanship, getting all that stuff, locator beacons that are 1718 01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:11,840 Speaker 1: used by mountaineers, to a radios, the capabilities of your 1719 01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,840 Speaker 1: own phone use as a GPS unit. Then we have 1720 01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:18,360 Speaker 1: a big thing navigating without electronics, so all that's not forgotten. 1721 01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:21,640 Speaker 1: Then we wind up going into different environments. Okay, so 1722 01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:27,320 Speaker 1: navigation wilderness travel mountain section, swamp section, desert section, all 1723 01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,959 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff about moving on snow and ice, including 1724 01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,879 Speaker 1: how to tell frozen rivers and lakes, how to assess 1725 01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:35,400 Speaker 1: ice conditions, what you're gonna expect when you're out on 1726 01:36:35,439 --> 01:36:38,200 Speaker 1: the ice. So this is one of those areas where 1727 01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:41,080 Speaker 1: it's just a lot of personal experience from people that 1728 01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 1: worked on the book talking about like, hey man, if 1729 01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,160 Speaker 1: you're in the mountains, traveling in the mountains, here's tend 1730 01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:49,280 Speaker 1: things to keep in mind, like some things not to do, 1731 01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:51,920 Speaker 1: some things to do, and we lay all that out 1732 01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:55,920 Speaker 1: including you know a lot of old school tricks. We 1733 01:36:55,960 --> 01:37:01,320 Speaker 1: get into white water safety, boating safety, ocean safety, um 1734 01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,000 Speaker 1: and and again get into some like old school strategies 1735 01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:07,120 Speaker 1: around how to build flotation devices, how to survive in 1736 01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:09,679 Speaker 1: the water, how to survive in cold water, how long 1737 01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:13,120 Speaker 1: you have water rescues, all that stuff, and in a 1738 01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 1: lot of packing lists, a lot of packing lists about 1739 01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:20,800 Speaker 1: wilderness travel. Who's gonna do medical and safety? The last 1740 01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:25,200 Speaker 1: one can do one thing I also add before I start, 1741 01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:30,439 Speaker 1: that is all these chapters um, like contrary or a 1742 01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:35,960 Speaker 1: lot of traditional survival books, um that kind of go 1743 01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:41,360 Speaker 1: with the primitive skill route like building like making a 1744 01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:46,080 Speaker 1: fire with a bow drill, or like like knitting some 1745 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:50,719 Speaker 1: buckskins pants or whatever. Like we embrace like good gear 1746 01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:55,200 Speaker 1: like in every part of this this book, because good 1747 01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:58,240 Speaker 1: gear makes your life easier. And so you're gonna find 1748 01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 1: throughout the book that we're gonna like call out ship 1749 01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,519 Speaker 1: that we use and stuff that we really like. Um 1750 01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:07,720 Speaker 1: So I just wanted to throw that in there too. 1751 01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:11,000 Speaker 1: Um So moving on to medical and safety, this is 1752 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:16,960 Speaker 1: a big one. Um. It's it's I think people tend 1753 01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:21,080 Speaker 1: to and this goes back to Steve's kind of reality 1754 01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:25,720 Speaker 1: TV survival stuff that where things are tend to be overblown. Um, 1755 01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 1: the ship that's gonna get you as not. It's probably 1756 01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:31,880 Speaker 1: not going to be the big ship. It's gonna be 1757 01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,680 Speaker 1: the little ship. It's gonna be a sprained ankle, it's 1758 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:38,680 Speaker 1: gonna be vomiting because you've got some kind of gut problem. 1759 01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:43,120 Speaker 1: Things like that. Like that's what's really gonna screw you 1760 01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:45,880 Speaker 1: up in the outdoors. And if you're in a situation 1761 01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 1: where you can't get out quickly, a sprained ankle can 1762 01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:52,439 Speaker 1: be really bad news, and the flu can be really 1763 01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:57,880 Speaker 1: bad news. So that that's how we kind of built 1764 01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:02,719 Speaker 1: This chapter is going off that kind of baseline. But 1765 01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:08,799 Speaker 1: this this chapter starts out with hygiene, like poor hygiene. 1766 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:12,680 Speaker 1: Just talk to you, honest man. He's the hygiene the 1767 01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:15,920 Speaker 1: hygiene sheriff in camp. Usually what do you mean? I 1768 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,519 Speaker 1: asked everybody if they're brushing their teeth and washing their 1769 01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: hands and like, because like that's how you can get sick. 1770 01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:25,800 Speaker 1: It's called basic hygiene for dirtback. Yeah, exactly, Like, no 1771 01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,720 Speaker 1: one you're gonna be dirty, but trying to maintain a 1772 01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:31,800 Speaker 1: level of cleanliness that isn't gonna make you or other 1773 01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:34,240 Speaker 1: people that you're with sick. Well, you know, you know 1774 01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,599 Speaker 1: your kids. Ever watched Bob the Builder? Yep? His theme 1775 01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:40,320 Speaker 1: song is boots, belt hard and work. Like I hear 1776 01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,280 Speaker 1: that song getting sung in my house. Well, our ten 1777 01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:47,559 Speaker 1: year old I made him a song about how to shower. Um, 1778 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:51,920 Speaker 1: it goes pits, button nuts, sat washed like Bob the Builder. Yes, 1779 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,880 Speaker 1: button nuts, Yeah, washed like Bile the Builder, because like, 1780 01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,040 Speaker 1: I know, how get ten years old. It's like he's 1781 01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:58,960 Speaker 1: like going to the shower and he steps immediately out. 1782 01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:05,120 Speaker 1: What happens? I'm wet? Did it goes in? Just to confirm?
