1
00:00:22,032 --> 00:00:24,467
You know, people always
talk about the American dream.
2
00:00:24,467 --> 00:00:26,303
Well, what is the American dream?
3
00:00:26,303 --> 00:00:29,472
Who's to say what, what
your dream should be, you know?
4
00:00:29,472 --> 00:00:31,308
I mean, my dream is
different than everybody's.
5
00:00:31,308 --> 00:00:34,211
Because I don't really care
for material items anymore.
6
00:00:34,211 --> 00:00:35,645
That's about ruled out with me.
7
00:00:35,645 --> 00:00:37,581
I don't have a vehicle, drives on foot
8
00:00:37,581 --> 00:00:39,316
or I call somebody to come get me.
9
00:00:39,316 --> 00:00:42,519
And, you know, so, uh,
you know, it's, uh...
10
00:00:42,519 --> 00:00:43,720
This is my dream.
11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,322
This is the way, you know, like I say,
12
00:00:45,322 --> 00:00:48,091
this is the lifestyle
of the rich and famous.
13
00:00:48,091 --> 00:00:50,327
Because I am rich in my own way,
14
00:00:50,327 --> 00:00:52,195
richer than anybody because
15
00:00:52,195 --> 00:00:53,830
I don't have anybody to answer to.
16
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:56,066
I have everything I want to eat,
everything I wanna do.
17
00:00:56,066 --> 00:00:58,401
I can amuse myself up here
in so many ways.
18
00:00:58,401 --> 00:01:01,171
It's, uh, you know, ridiculous.
19
00:01:01,171 --> 00:01:03,773
But, uh, you know,
and people that live down below,
20
00:01:03,773 --> 00:01:07,577
flatlanders, yeah,
it's just like watching a rat race.
21
00:01:07,577 --> 00:01:09,613
It's just like when
they put the rats in the box
22
00:01:09,613 --> 00:01:12,215
and they go running around
like they're crazy.
23
00:01:12,215 --> 00:01:13,383
Hell, I'm not like that.
24
00:01:13,383 --> 00:01:15,685
I can walk around up here
at my own pace, do what I want.
25
00:01:15,685 --> 00:01:17,487
Nobody can make me go faster than I want.
26
00:01:18,355 --> 00:01:19,923
Nobody can tell me what to do.
27
00:01:21,458 --> 00:01:23,493
In the age of technology,
28
00:01:23,493 --> 00:01:26,696
the electrical grid is expanding,
29
00:01:26,696 --> 00:01:29,366
and the world is getting smaller.
30
00:01:29,866 --> 00:01:32,769
For some, finding peace of mind means
31
00:01:32,769 --> 00:01:35,939
hiding out where no one thinks to look.
32
00:01:37,741 --> 00:01:38,875
To escape,
33
00:01:38,875 --> 00:01:42,112
they redefine "off the grid."
34
00:01:58,895 --> 00:02:00,797
You know, I don't
think you could ever have
35
00:02:00,797 --> 00:02:02,432
too many weapons.
36
00:02:03,066 --> 00:02:04,868
They help me sleep good at night.
37
00:02:04,868 --> 00:02:07,003
They help me feed myself.
38
00:02:07,003 --> 00:02:10,707
So that is a very favorite tool of mine.
39
00:02:12,275 --> 00:02:19,015
My gun there on the sawbuck
is a .62 caliber flintlock.
40
00:02:21,117 --> 00:02:25,288
It's a smoothbore. My dad
always had a 20 gauge,
41
00:02:26,056 --> 00:02:27,991
and now I got a 20 gauge.
42
00:02:27,991 --> 00:02:30,794
And I can put shot in here
and shoot turkeys.
43
00:02:30,794 --> 00:02:35,432
I can put a round ball in here
and shoot a bear.
44
00:02:35,765 --> 00:02:37,434
It's a good little gun for that.
45
00:02:38,535 --> 00:02:42,138
Keep you fed, that's the main thing.
46
00:02:42,138 --> 00:02:43,940
For the past 10 years,
47
00:02:44,241 --> 00:02:47,010
Bear Claw has lived beyond the grid,
48
00:02:47,010 --> 00:02:49,913
in the Clearwater Mountains of Idaho,
49
00:02:49,913 --> 00:02:52,582
surviving almost entirely off the land.
50
00:02:53,483 --> 00:02:56,920
In this region,
it's now black bear season,
51
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,923
and Bear Claw relies on hunting to deliver
52
00:02:59,923 --> 00:03:02,392
the protein he needs.
53
00:03:02,392 --> 00:03:04,427
I'm gonna
head down to this creek.
54
00:03:04,694 --> 00:03:06,529
It's warming up a little bit and, uh,
55
00:03:06,529 --> 00:03:09,432
bears really like to come
down here to the water.
56
00:03:11,735 --> 00:03:14,571
My hunting career started
when I was a young fella
57
00:03:14,571 --> 00:03:19,009
shooting birds, and to me,
it's not a day-to-day success.
58
00:03:19,009 --> 00:03:20,844
It's the whole time.
59
00:03:20,844 --> 00:03:23,980
And the more you hunt, the better you are.
60
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:26,283
There's always something out there.
61
00:03:26,283 --> 00:03:29,019
You gotta have adventure, right?
62
00:03:40,997 --> 00:03:44,034
Bears really like the grubs.
They get big and fat
63
00:03:44,034 --> 00:03:46,202
this time of year,
and they're really hatching out
64
00:03:46,202 --> 00:03:50,006
and it makes good food for them
65
00:03:50,006 --> 00:03:52,742
because it's got good protein in it.
66
00:03:52,742 --> 00:03:55,812
And I'll be darned, look at that now.
67
00:03:55,812 --> 00:03:58,748
Got some fresh bear claws right here.
68
00:04:00,150 --> 00:04:02,819
When a bear comes up to a tree,
69
00:04:02,819 --> 00:04:06,022
especially a big ol'
mother tree like this,
70
00:04:06,022 --> 00:04:08,158
this will show you the home territory.
71
00:04:08,158 --> 00:04:12,128
And what they want to do is,
the younger ones down here,
72
00:04:12,128 --> 00:04:14,197
and you can even see
the baby bears have been crawling,
73
00:04:14,197 --> 00:04:16,333
clawing like their mother has.
74
00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:20,403
This is to, uh, mark their territory,
is what they're doing.
75
00:04:20,403 --> 00:04:23,073
And then this big ol' daddy comes by
76
00:04:23,073 --> 00:04:26,109
and he can reach way up there.
77
00:04:26,109 --> 00:04:29,646
Gives you an idea how tall that bear is.
78
00:04:29,646 --> 00:04:32,449
That's a good six, six and a half footer.
79
00:04:34,551 --> 00:04:37,120
There's even some way up there.
80
00:04:38,788 --> 00:04:40,523
That's a good sign
of we're in the right place
81
00:04:40,523 --> 00:04:41,958
to find us a bear.
82
00:04:42,359 --> 00:04:44,895
Looks like we're getting closer
to what we're looking for.
83
00:05:09,819 --> 00:05:12,055
In the middle of Lake Michigan,
84
00:05:12,055 --> 00:05:14,524
18 miles from the mainland,
85
00:05:14,524 --> 00:05:18,361
lies a world outside the grid.
86
00:05:19,062 --> 00:05:22,265
{\an8}Titus, where you at, boy?
87
00:05:22,265 --> 00:05:26,436
{\an8}Come on, come on. Come on, boy!
88
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:31,575
Come on, Titus!
89
00:05:35,045 --> 00:05:36,613
Come on, the boat's leaving! Let's go!
90
00:05:42,485 --> 00:05:46,556
It's traditional
that I always give him a baptism.
91
00:05:49,359 --> 00:05:52,596
He hates it, you hate it.
92
00:05:53,663 --> 00:05:55,031
Get in the boat.
93
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:59,769
Surrounded on all sides
by the freshwater of Lake Michigan,
94
00:06:00,637 --> 00:06:04,241
Dan Burton's home is within
the Beaver Island archipelago,
95
00:06:04,941 --> 00:06:06,710
a series of nine islands,
96
00:06:07,344 --> 00:06:10,547
several of which are
completely uninhabited.
97
00:06:12,515 --> 00:06:14,584
To survive all the way out here,
98
00:06:14,584 --> 00:06:17,954
Dan must make due with limited supplies
99
00:06:17,954 --> 00:06:19,155
and whatever he can find.
100
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:23,460
So, he often embarks on salvage missions
101
00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:26,196
in search of materials he can use.
102
00:06:27,797 --> 00:06:29,799
Back in the early days, you know,
103
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,569
when there wasn't
all the railroads and stuff,
104
00:06:32,569 --> 00:06:34,337
the waterways were the main route.
105
00:06:34,337 --> 00:06:37,507
So you had ships passing by here
every day all the time.
106
00:06:37,507 --> 00:06:38,975
You know, there's treasure all over.
107
00:06:38,975 --> 00:06:41,411
You just gotta be out there
and willing to look for it,
108
00:06:41,411 --> 00:06:43,446
willing to dive in and get it.
109
00:06:58,328 --> 00:07:00,864
One of the reasons we're out here today
110
00:07:00,864 --> 00:07:04,167
is we've had a lot of success.
This has been a great spot.
111
00:07:08,104 --> 00:07:09,973
Keep our eyes open.
112
00:07:17,013 --> 00:07:18,048
All right.
113
00:07:18,048 --> 00:07:21,251
Man, that does look like
that's a potential, right there.
114
00:07:41,338 --> 00:07:45,709
It looks like it is, uh,
if I had to guess,
115
00:07:45,709 --> 00:07:49,079
an early, uh, early to mid, maybe '80s,
116
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:50,513
snowmobile sitting down there.
117
00:07:50,513 --> 00:07:53,250
Either somebody had mechanical problems
118
00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:55,485
or it probably got bailed
off on the ice and, uh,
119
00:07:55,485 --> 00:07:57,821
nobody went back and got it.
120
00:07:57,821 --> 00:07:59,356
Hang on, Tity!
121
00:07:59,356 --> 00:08:01,491
Could always use a snowmobile.
122
00:08:01,825 --> 00:08:04,928
I say we grab it,
finders' keepers, loser's weepers.
123
00:08:05,996 --> 00:08:07,831
During winter months,
124
00:08:07,831 --> 00:08:10,233
Dan usually relies on snowshoes
125
00:08:10,233 --> 00:08:12,869
to walk across the ice to other islands.
126
00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:15,972
A snowmobile could
afford him safer passage
127
00:08:15,972 --> 00:08:18,375
to find resources in the area.
128
00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:20,343
There's a good chance
that snow machine will run.
129
00:08:21,077 --> 00:08:22,679
It's a different type of fishing.
130
00:08:22,679 --> 00:08:25,882
We'll pull, uh, we'll pull
a snowmobile off the bottom.
131
00:09:02,419 --> 00:09:04,955
Gets a little tight up here.
132
00:09:04,955 --> 00:09:06,656
I'll go ahead and give
you a little room maybe.
133
00:09:06,656 --> 00:09:07,991
I don't know.
134
00:09:09,626 --> 00:09:11,928
We open up a little more
right around here.
135
00:09:12,796 --> 00:09:15,131
In a world below the grid,
136
00:09:15,131 --> 00:09:18,401
Joe Ray has spent the last
two weeks underground.
137
00:09:18,868 --> 00:09:21,571
Today, he's headed for daylight.
138
00:09:22,339 --> 00:09:24,207
This next bend, we'll go to the left
139
00:09:24,207 --> 00:09:25,709
and we'll be there.
140
00:09:26,843 --> 00:09:29,179
This is another one of my exits here,
141
00:09:29,179 --> 00:09:30,714
and I have to go out.
142
00:09:30,714 --> 00:09:33,383
Not that I really like going out,
but I have to come out,
143
00:09:34,517 --> 00:09:37,654
so we're on for a walk.
144
00:09:40,757 --> 00:09:44,761
Coming out of the cave really
makes me sort of nervous.
145
00:09:44,761 --> 00:09:46,396
I don't feel safe out here.
146
00:09:46,396 --> 00:09:47,764
I mean, it's always dangerous.
147
00:09:47,764 --> 00:09:49,666
You never know what's gonna come.
148
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,236
Something falling on ya,
something chasing ya.
149
00:09:54,404 --> 00:09:56,039
And once I get outside,
150
00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:58,041
anything can come from anywhere out here
151
00:09:58,041 --> 00:10:00,677
and you never can tell
what's gonna happen.
152
00:10:01,845 --> 00:10:03,880
Living below the grid,
153
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,316
Joe Ray rarely leaves his caves,
154
00:10:06,316 --> 00:10:09,886
only heading outside
when absolutely necessary.
155
00:10:09,886 --> 00:10:11,988
We're gonna go down here.
156
00:10:11,988 --> 00:10:14,558
This trip is
a mission to find valuable
157
00:10:14,558 --> 00:10:18,361
materials he can sell,
in hopes of purchasing
158
00:10:18,361 --> 00:10:20,597
ammunition for his rifles.
159
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,403
This is the shaft
we'll be going down in right here.
160
00:10:26,403 --> 00:10:29,139
Looks like it's got shafts
going off on both sides,
161
00:10:29,472 --> 00:10:31,975
and these shafts could
actually go for miles.
162
00:10:32,542 --> 00:10:34,377
You know, I mean, there's no telling.
163
00:10:34,377 --> 00:10:36,279
There could be a goldmine down there,
164
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,515
and there might not be down there.
165
00:10:39,549 --> 00:10:41,685
The region Joe calls home is
166
00:10:41,685 --> 00:10:44,921
the Ozark Mountains
of north central Arkansas.
167
00:10:46,022 --> 00:10:49,526
This area became
a hotbed of mining activity
168
00:10:49,526 --> 00:10:51,695
in the early 1900s.
169
00:10:53,330 --> 00:10:54,931
There's not very
many people that like to go
170
00:10:54,931 --> 00:10:58,768
down in shafts, but that's the difference
between me and them.
171
00:10:58,768 --> 00:11:01,438
Shaft, that's just a cave
that goes straight down.
172
00:11:05,342 --> 00:11:08,111
Yeah, it's a ways down there.
173
00:11:08,111 --> 00:11:09,679
I almost wanna jump in,
174
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,615
but I know I probably couldn't make that.
175
00:11:17,888 --> 00:11:20,056
Well, a lot of people
might not think so,
176
00:11:20,056 --> 00:11:22,292
but, uh, you just have
to look at everything,
177
00:11:22,292 --> 00:11:25,395
think of all the things that
can happen and plan for them
178
00:11:25,395 --> 00:11:27,097
and then plan for what
you're not even thinking of,
179
00:11:27,097 --> 00:11:29,833
because the first thing out here
that will keep you alive
180
00:11:29,833 --> 00:11:32,302
before anything else is common sense.
181
00:11:32,302 --> 00:11:33,703
And if you don't have no common sense,
182
00:11:33,703 --> 00:11:35,906
you better keep your ass out of the woods.
183
00:11:42,812 --> 00:11:44,314
So, uh, let's go!
184
00:12:06,336 --> 00:12:08,438
Ah, chick, chick, chick.
185
00:12:08,438 --> 00:12:11,875
Ah, chick, chick, chick, chick.
186
00:12:14,978 --> 00:12:16,846
You want some?
187
00:12:19,082 --> 00:12:20,283
Pepper, no.
188
00:12:21,585 --> 00:12:24,054
Ah, chick, chick, chick.
189
00:12:24,054 --> 00:12:26,790
Chick, chick, chick.
190
00:12:29,926 --> 00:12:31,061
Hey!
191
00:12:31,895 --> 00:12:34,531
No, Lee!
192
00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:37,934
, !
193
00:12:37,934 --> 00:12:39,703
Rooster!
194
00:12:39,703 --> 00:12:43,340
All right, oh.
195
00:12:43,773 --> 00:12:46,243
In Onion Creek, Washington,
196
00:12:46,243 --> 00:12:49,846
Doc and Jeanny Leverett
work every day to sustain
197
00:12:49,846 --> 00:12:52,449
their life above the grid.
198
00:12:52,449 --> 00:12:56,753
And some days, that means
getting by on limited resources.
199
00:12:56,753 --> 00:12:58,255
I got two eggs.
200
00:12:58,255 --> 00:13:01,658
Yeah, she's working overtime.
Maybe she heard we were in a food drought.
201
00:13:01,658 --> 00:13:03,293
Here.
202
00:13:06,496 --> 00:13:08,098
All right, you got one egg.
203
00:13:08,098 --> 00:13:09,199
Is it cracked?
204
00:13:09,199 --> 00:13:10,867
It's cracked,
but it's still good. We can eat it.
205
00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:12,636
- All right, here.
- I can go ahead and get it.
206
00:13:12,636 --> 00:13:14,738
I'm gonna get out of this junk,
207
00:13:14,738 --> 00:13:17,741
and then I'll, uh,
see what I can come up with.
208
00:13:17,741 --> 00:13:20,010
Okay, we can eat the rooster.
209
00:13:20,010 --> 00:13:23,113
Yeah, he's
already done his job anyway.
210
00:13:24,314 --> 00:13:27,284
Out here,
Doc and Jeanny Leverett
211
00:13:27,284 --> 00:13:30,654
live 25 feet above the ground,
in the dense forests
212
00:13:30,654 --> 00:13:34,291
of eastern Washington
near the Canadian border.
213
00:13:37,227 --> 00:13:38,361
In their tree house,
214
00:13:38,361 --> 00:13:41,631
they don't have enough
power for refrigeration.
215
00:13:41,631 --> 00:13:43,733
So, one year ago, they bartered for
216
00:13:43,733 --> 00:13:46,169
a chicken and a rooster.
217
00:13:46,169 --> 00:13:49,573
Today, Doc's hoping
another trade can provide
218
00:13:49,573 --> 00:13:52,676
the renewable food source they need.
219
00:13:53,476 --> 00:13:54,778
We've been wanting to get a goat,
220
00:13:54,778 --> 00:13:56,713
but, uh, out here on the creek,
221
00:13:56,713 --> 00:13:59,816
we're not dealing so much in money.
222
00:13:59,816 --> 00:14:02,152
We use a creeker currency,
whatever you have on hand,
223
00:14:02,152 --> 00:14:03,887
and I prefer it.
224
00:14:03,887 --> 00:14:06,423
The thrill of the trade
is much more satisfying to me
225
00:14:06,423 --> 00:14:09,693
than to hand over some money.
226
00:14:09,693 --> 00:14:12,529
We're coming up on my little nursery here.
227
00:14:12,529 --> 00:14:15,065
Every one of these saplings
out here have value.
228
00:14:25,742 --> 00:14:26,743
Here's a good one.
229
00:14:26,743 --> 00:14:29,045
This one is a fir. That's what he says
230
00:14:29,045 --> 00:14:31,448
that he wants put up there, is fir.
231
00:14:31,448 --> 00:14:35,051
They're a quick growing plant, good tree.
232
00:14:39,456 --> 00:14:41,691
Just like finding money on the ground.
233
00:14:45,962 --> 00:14:48,632
So now I think we need
to get three or four more.
234
00:14:49,132 --> 00:14:50,867
That ought to be worth a good trade.
235
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:55,472
One step closer to a goat.
236
00:15:12,188 --> 00:15:13,223
Any luck over there?
237
00:15:13,223 --> 00:15:15,058
Nope, no snowmobile yet.
238
00:15:15,058 --> 00:15:16,893
Maybe a rock and a log.
239
00:15:18,161 --> 00:15:20,664
18 miles from the mainland,
240
00:15:20,664 --> 00:15:22,566
far outside the grid,
241
00:15:22,566 --> 00:15:26,202
Dan Burton is attempting
to salvage a sunken snowmobile
242
00:15:26,202 --> 00:15:27,938
from the bottom of Lake Michigan.
243
00:15:27,938 --> 00:15:29,406
I'm sure it's here.
244
00:15:29,406 --> 00:15:31,374
I don't see anybody beating me to it.
245
00:15:31,374 --> 00:15:33,610
No, there aren't too many people
246
00:15:33,610 --> 00:15:35,712
going to salvage this thing.
247
00:15:35,712 --> 00:15:38,348
To lift its 400-pound frame,
248
00:15:38,348 --> 00:15:43,119
he's recruited Mike Weid,
a barge operator and master diver
249
00:15:43,553 --> 00:15:46,590
who's lived on the island for 13 years.
250
00:15:47,524 --> 00:15:48,725
What was that right there?
251
00:15:48,725 --> 00:15:50,260
Where, over here?
252
00:15:50,260 --> 00:15:51,995
Yeah, right here, look at that.
253
00:15:53,230 --> 00:15:54,397
Oh, I see blue.
254
00:15:54,397 --> 00:15:55,966
Yup, that's it, that's it.
255
00:15:55,966 --> 00:15:57,067
Yeah.
256
00:15:57,767 --> 00:15:59,436
I'm on.
257
00:15:59,436 --> 00:16:00,870
Anchors aweigh.
258
00:16:02,205 --> 00:16:03,974
I'm gonna get my suit on.
259
00:16:15,752 --> 00:16:17,153
It'd be nice to skin dive this one,
260
00:16:17,153 --> 00:16:19,356
- but as cold as the water is...
- Yeah.
261
00:16:20,924 --> 00:16:22,025
I'll go down and check it out.
262
00:16:22,025 --> 00:16:24,127
Give it a little tug and see
what the situation looks like.
263
00:16:57,694 --> 00:16:59,296
Looks like she's sitting
pretty good at the bottom.
264
00:16:59,829 --> 00:17:01,965
- It's intact?
- Looks intact.
265
00:17:01,965 --> 00:17:03,667
Okay.
She felt heavy.
266
00:17:03,667 --> 00:17:05,235
That's fine, we got lift bags.
267
00:17:05,569 --> 00:17:08,939
In order to extract
the snowmobile from the lake bottom,
268
00:17:08,939 --> 00:17:12,108
Dan and Mike
will utilize two lift barrels,
269
00:17:12,676 --> 00:17:14,311
filling each with compressed air.
270
00:17:23,787 --> 00:17:27,824
Their first step is
tying off a thousand-pound test line
271
00:17:27,824 --> 00:17:30,894
to either end of the machine.
272
00:17:47,277 --> 00:17:48,311
Well, it looks pretty good.
273
00:17:48,645 --> 00:17:50,480
Yeah, you see why I wanted to go get it?
274
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,749
Yeah, let's sink
both of those lift barrels.
275
00:17:52,749 --> 00:17:54,084
Okay.
276
00:17:54,084 --> 00:17:55,352
We'll put one at each end
277
00:17:55,352 --> 00:17:57,587
and we'll take a tank down
and fill each one.
278
00:17:57,587 --> 00:17:59,189
That would raise it nice and gently.
279
00:17:59,189 --> 00:18:00,957
We gotta be careful when I'm coming up.
280
00:18:00,957 --> 00:18:02,292
We don't wanna get underneath it.
281
00:18:02,292 --> 00:18:03,927
Don't get anything hooked on it.
282
00:18:03,927 --> 00:18:06,963
Okay, all right,
let's lift this baby up, man.
283
00:18:20,844 --> 00:18:23,113
In the Clearwater
Mountains of Idaho,
284
00:18:23,113 --> 00:18:26,783
Bear Claw makes his home beyond the grid.
285
00:18:26,783 --> 00:18:30,387
His nearest neighbors are
mostly ranchers and loggers,
286
00:18:30,387 --> 00:18:33,557
making their living off of the land.
287
00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:43,266
Hey, neighbor!
What's up?
288
00:18:43,266 --> 00:18:44,834
I was just up the mountain,
289
00:18:44,834 --> 00:18:46,636
and I saw some fresh bear sign.
290
00:18:46,636 --> 00:18:47,804
Up by your place?
291
00:18:47,804 --> 00:18:49,573
Yeah, up by my place.
292
00:18:49,573 --> 00:18:53,510
You got time to grab a few dogs
and maybe we can catch a bear?
293
00:18:54,945 --> 00:18:57,047
All right, let me get my stuff together.
294
00:19:08,725 --> 00:19:09,726
Hey, bandit.
295
00:19:09,726 --> 00:19:10,860
Hey, buddy!
296
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:12,662
Come on!
297
00:19:13,897 --> 00:19:15,532
Let's go catch a bear.
298
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:17,968
Come on, guys.
299
00:19:17,968 --> 00:19:20,503
Come on, guys, up here, up here.
300
00:19:22,439 --> 00:19:25,008
Whenever Bear Claw
and Chris hunt together,
301
00:19:25,675 --> 00:19:28,278
they split their bounty 50/50
302
00:19:28,278 --> 00:19:30,580
to ensure nothing goes to waste.
303
00:19:33,116 --> 00:19:37,187
Chris' hounds are trained
to chase their prey into a tree
304
00:19:37,187 --> 00:19:40,523
when they find it, and in
the dense forests of Idaho,
305
00:19:40,523 --> 00:19:42,726
it's nearly the only technique
306
00:19:43,026 --> 00:19:44,628
that provides a clear shot.
307
00:19:45,328 --> 00:19:47,264
So when
I came down this morning,
308
00:19:48,365 --> 00:19:50,700
- I saw some bear tracks up here.
- Yeah.
309
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:54,638
I figured we could maybe
start up here and then draw.
310
00:19:54,638 --> 00:19:56,139
Okay.
311
00:20:01,378 --> 00:20:02,946
Come on, get it going.
312
00:20:02,946 --> 00:20:04,447
Get it going.
313
00:20:07,717 --> 00:20:09,319
Been digging right here.
314
00:20:11,621 --> 00:20:13,456
Squirrel don't
pull a log open like that.
315
00:20:13,456 --> 00:20:14,958
It's pretty fresh.
316
00:20:15,492 --> 00:20:16,726
He's here somewhere.
317
00:20:16,726 --> 00:20:18,962
All right, let's go get him!
318
00:20:34,544 --> 00:20:36,213
Hey, wait a minute.
319
00:20:37,447 --> 00:20:38,615
They're on a hot track.
320
00:20:39,249 --> 00:20:40,684
Yeah, could be.
321
00:20:52,729 --> 00:20:54,197
It's okay.
322
00:20:56,066 --> 00:20:58,034
Dogs are sniffing.
323
00:21:06,676 --> 00:21:08,912
Get 'em, boys.
324
00:21:08,912 --> 00:21:10,480
They're after it.
325
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,949
Let's get up after them.
326
00:21:48,351 --> 00:21:51,922
Well, it's time to take off
and see how far these tunnels go.
327
00:21:52,355 --> 00:21:54,324
70 feet below the grid,
328
00:21:54,324 --> 00:21:58,428
Joe Ray has descended into
an excelsior zinc mine,
329
00:21:58,428 --> 00:22:01,698
closed and abandoned in the mid-1900s.
330
00:22:01,698 --> 00:22:03,433
This shaft here is an old one.
331
00:22:03,433 --> 00:22:06,069
This is probably one
of the largest zinc mines
332
00:22:06,069 --> 00:22:07,437
up here at one time.
333
00:22:07,804 --> 00:22:09,940
Let's go check it out
and see what's happening.
334
00:22:23,153 --> 00:22:26,990
Well, here's some of the old drill bits
from the days gone by.
335
00:22:32,028 --> 00:22:34,764
Sort of a there, it looks like.
336
00:22:36,266 --> 00:22:38,702
Down here, Joe Ray is searching
337
00:22:38,702 --> 00:22:42,072
for valuable mineral ores he can sell,
338
00:22:42,072 --> 00:22:45,442
in hopes of buying
rifle ammunition he needs.
339
00:22:46,042 --> 00:22:48,511
The most common mineral he extracts
340
00:22:48,511 --> 00:22:52,082
is a white globular
formation called smithsonite,
341
00:22:52,082 --> 00:22:54,651
also known as turkey fat.
342
00:23:02,325 --> 00:23:03,660
Hmm, hold on a second.
343
00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:05,228
Look at this.
344
00:23:05,862 --> 00:23:07,831
This is probably a miner's pocket pistol.
345
00:23:08,565 --> 00:23:12,302
This is an old gun.
It'd be like a .32 short or something.
346
00:23:12,302 --> 00:23:14,971
This could bring me another $100 or so.
347
00:23:15,906 --> 00:23:20,110
Let's go on a little further
and, uh, keep going.
348
00:23:41,097 --> 00:23:44,334
Outside the grid in Lake Michigan,
349
00:23:45,068 --> 00:23:47,737
Dan Burton and master diver Mike Weid
350
00:23:47,737 --> 00:23:51,107
are attempting to salvage a snowmobile
from the lake bottom.
351
00:23:51,942 --> 00:23:55,545
This abandoned machine
could prove vital to Dan's survival
352
00:23:55,545 --> 00:23:57,881
during the cold winter months ahead.
353
00:24:43,627 --> 00:24:44,694
All right, man.
354
00:24:44,694 --> 00:24:46,029
You got your snowmobile, buddy.
355
00:24:46,029 --> 00:24:47,297
Woo-ey!
356
00:24:47,297 --> 00:24:49,499
Let's lift this thing up, Mike.
357
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:52,402
This will be the perfect
sled for the island.
358
00:24:52,402 --> 00:24:53,904
Twin cylinder.
359
00:24:54,371 --> 00:24:56,406
Looks like most of the parts are there.
360
00:24:56,740 --> 00:24:58,708
Look, it even got a windshield.
361
00:25:01,077 --> 00:25:02,145
There we go.
362
00:25:02,145 --> 00:25:04,047
Easy, big girl.
363
00:25:05,348 --> 00:25:07,517
Look at that!
364
00:25:13,423 --> 00:25:14,558
Yup, this is me.
365
00:25:14,558 --> 00:25:16,192
Give her a pull.
366
00:25:16,192 --> 00:25:17,327
I don't think it'll start.
367
00:25:17,327 --> 00:25:18,795
Cord is rotted off.
368
00:25:18,795 --> 00:25:21,398
Eh, I got all that at home, though.
369
00:25:21,398 --> 00:25:24,935
A little wax, man,
you're good to go.
370
00:25:24,935 --> 00:25:26,102
Thanks, Mike.
371
00:25:43,220 --> 00:25:45,589
Well, I'mma
go see a man about a goat.
372
00:25:45,589 --> 00:25:48,258
In Washington,
Doc and Jeanny Leverett
373
00:25:48,258 --> 00:25:52,195
work every day to sustain
their life above the grid.
374
00:25:52,195 --> 00:25:54,931
And today, that means
bartering with their closest
375
00:25:54,931 --> 00:25:58,368
neighbor for the renewable
food source they need.
376
00:25:58,368 --> 00:26:00,570
Dennis!
377
00:26:02,005 --> 00:26:03,306
I don't wanna get shot.
378
00:26:04,107 --> 00:26:05,342
Dennis!
379
00:26:06,443 --> 00:26:07,711
{\an8}Oh.
380
00:26:08,845 --> 00:26:10,647
{\an8}Hey, it's Doc! Don't shoot!
381
00:26:16,820 --> 00:26:18,121
Howdy!
382
00:26:18,121 --> 00:26:19,890
Hey, what's up?
383
00:26:19,890 --> 00:26:22,025
How are we doin'?
Good.
384
00:26:22,025 --> 00:26:24,160
I come to talk to you.
385
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,529
- Sure, how you doin', Doc?
- Good, good, good.
386
00:26:37,607 --> 00:26:38,875
I've got some saplings.
387
00:26:38,875 --> 00:26:40,977
Can I take a look at the goat
'cause I kinda wanna...
388
00:26:40,977 --> 00:26:42,913
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, so.
389
00:26:42,913 --> 00:26:44,281
Come on in!
390
00:26:44,281 --> 00:26:45,348
{\an8}Is this her?
Yeah.
391
00:26:45,348 --> 00:26:47,484
This is Mag.
392
00:26:48,418 --> 00:26:49,586
Oh, hey, baby.
393
00:26:49,586 --> 00:26:51,187
She's a LaMancha boer.
394
00:26:51,555 --> 00:26:53,156
Yeah, how much
do you get out of her a day?
395
00:26:53,523 --> 00:26:55,225
A little bit under a gallon.
396
00:26:55,225 --> 00:26:56,826
Oh, wow!
397
00:26:56,826 --> 00:26:58,261
Okay, well, here's what I got.
398
00:26:58,261 --> 00:27:00,897
{\an8}You said you wanna plant
some new saplings, so.
399
00:27:00,897 --> 00:27:02,432
I've dug up some sapling.
400
00:27:12,709 --> 00:27:13,777
{\an8}Well, you got any...
401
00:27:13,777 --> 00:27:15,312
{\an8}You got anything that needs a fixing?
402
00:27:22,886 --> 00:27:23,954
{\an8}All right.
403
00:27:23,954 --> 00:27:25,488
Good, good.
404
00:27:27,157 --> 00:27:29,659
When bartering,
Doc often utilizes
405
00:27:29,659 --> 00:27:32,529
his abilities as an engineer and mechanic.
406
00:27:32,529 --> 00:27:36,132
For 16 years in the Navy,
he learned to build engines
407
00:27:36,132 --> 00:27:40,303
and elevators on aircraft
carriers and cruisers.
408
00:27:40,303 --> 00:27:44,374
This is a micro version of what I used
to work on when I was in the military.
409
00:27:50,313 --> 00:27:55,151
Get a generator going, in any engine,
there's just a few things you need.
410
00:27:55,151 --> 00:27:56,219
You need spark,
411
00:27:56,219 --> 00:27:58,188
so we're hoping that these
spark plugs are good
412
00:27:58,188 --> 00:27:59,389
and then the coil is good.
413
00:28:00,257 --> 00:28:02,259
You need fuel.
That's what our tank is for.
414
00:28:02,259 --> 00:28:04,027
And you gotta have rotation.
415
00:28:04,027 --> 00:28:07,097
And if you have all three
of those in the right combination,
416
00:28:07,097 --> 00:28:08,965
you'll have a runnin' motor.
417
00:28:14,004 --> 00:28:16,539
I was kinda going in a bad
direction as a young lad.
418
00:28:16,539 --> 00:28:19,910
Getting in lots of trouble,
lots of police activity,
419
00:28:19,910 --> 00:28:23,513
and the Navy pulled me up
and showed me the right directions.
420
00:28:23,513 --> 00:28:25,749
I would almost say it saved me.
421
00:28:25,749 --> 00:28:28,485
A lot of the lessons
that I learned in the Navy
422
00:28:28,485 --> 00:28:29,819
are helping me out here.
423
00:28:29,819 --> 00:28:32,222
The concept of problem-solving
424
00:28:32,222 --> 00:28:35,025
and self-reliance and using
what you have at hand,
425
00:28:35,025 --> 00:28:37,961
that's been one of the greatest
tools I've had out here.
426
00:28:41,665 --> 00:28:42,732
We have the rotation.
427
00:28:48,838 --> 00:28:50,340
We lost our choke.
428
00:28:50,340 --> 00:28:53,209
That spring in there is not doing its job.
429
00:28:53,944 --> 00:28:56,112
Since the choke is not gonna cooperate,
430
00:28:56,112 --> 00:29:00,884
I'm gonna make a manual choke
out of a piece of electrical tape.
431
00:29:02,485 --> 00:29:06,122
Hmm, make it stay there.
432
00:29:19,436 --> 00:29:21,037
That's what Doc does.
433
00:29:21,037 --> 00:29:24,307
Oh, I take hunks of junks
and make them sort of work.
434
00:29:47,931 --> 00:29:50,300
Get after them, hound dogs.
435
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:52,502
In the Clearwater
Mountains of Idaho,
436
00:29:52,502 --> 00:29:54,804
Bear Claw and Chris are closing in
437
00:29:54,804 --> 00:29:57,574
on a black bear sow in the area.
438
00:29:58,074 --> 00:30:00,143
I can hear 'em
up yonder barking.
439
00:30:00,844 --> 00:30:02,145
Yeah.
440
00:30:02,445 --> 00:30:06,116
After following
bear signs to this region of activity,
441
00:30:06,116 --> 00:30:08,752
they've released
their hounds in an attempt
442
00:30:08,752 --> 00:30:10,353
to tree their prey.
443
00:30:10,353 --> 00:30:12,522
Getting close to 'em now.
444
00:30:14,791 --> 00:30:17,327
Hey, bear is up there.
445
00:30:21,197 --> 00:30:22,532
{\an8}Yeah.
446
00:30:22,532 --> 00:30:24,067
Let's go get that thing.
447
00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:28,204
That ain't a bad bear.
448
00:30:28,204 --> 00:30:29,973
No, that ain't a bad bear.
449
00:30:30,407 --> 00:30:32,943
I think we got the angle
we're looking for.
450
00:30:37,747 --> 00:30:40,817
He's just gotta lift
his head up a little bit
451
00:30:40,817 --> 00:30:42,819
from that branch.
452
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:44,955
There's a new piece.
453
00:30:48,124 --> 00:30:50,227
Lift it up a little more.
454
00:30:50,794 --> 00:30:52,862
We're gonna get some bear down here.
455
00:31:04,374 --> 00:31:06,843
Sorry to take
your life, my brother.
456
00:31:08,011 --> 00:31:09,779
This is what mountain men do.
457
00:31:10,647 --> 00:31:12,916
Now comes the part of skinnin' him.
458
00:31:12,916 --> 00:31:14,885
In the Clearwater Mountains,
459
00:31:14,885 --> 00:31:18,622
Bear Caw and Chris have
taken a 200-pound black bear.
460
00:31:19,522 --> 00:31:21,091
After working together,
461
00:31:21,091 --> 00:31:23,927
they'll split the meat
to ensure nothing goes to waste.
462
00:31:24,427 --> 00:31:27,097
My dad was
a butcher so I really enjoy this,
463
00:31:29,032 --> 00:31:35,171
skinning and cutting
and fleshing and tanning.
464
00:31:39,843 --> 00:31:42,979
I learned a long time ago
from my father that we use
465
00:31:42,979 --> 00:31:45,682
every bit of this meat.
466
00:31:45,682 --> 00:31:49,152
It's just right that
we use the whole bear.
467
00:32:09,573 --> 00:32:11,341
Well, if you were a little bigger,
468
00:32:11,341 --> 00:32:14,144
I'd put a saddle on you.
469
00:32:14,144 --> 00:32:16,313
Make this trip a lot easier.
470
00:32:16,313 --> 00:32:17,781
In Onion Creek, Washington,
471
00:32:17,781 --> 00:32:20,650
Doc Leverett has successfully bartered
472
00:32:20,650 --> 00:32:24,321
for a LaMancha bear goat,
the kind of renewable food source
473
00:32:24,321 --> 00:32:27,724
he needs to sustain
his life above the grid.
474
00:32:27,724 --> 00:32:29,092
Jeanny!
475
00:32:29,092 --> 00:32:30,293
Yeah!
476
00:32:30,293 --> 00:32:32,295
We got us a goat.
477
00:32:32,295 --> 00:32:33,730
Oh, look at her.
478
00:32:35,498 --> 00:32:37,167
- What was her name?
- Maddie.
479
00:32:37,167 --> 00:32:39,269
Maddie.
We can take her for a test spin, I guess.
480
00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:40,737
Okay, come on, Maddie.
481
00:32:40,737 --> 00:32:41,938
Maddie, Maddie.
482
00:32:53,817 --> 00:32:56,152
You got her?
Yeah, I got her.
483
00:32:56,152 --> 00:32:57,454
If she kicks me,
I'm gonna kick you back.
484
00:32:57,988 --> 00:32:59,189
Easy there, Maddie.
485
00:32:59,890 --> 00:33:01,458
This is gonna
take a little bit of practice.
486
00:33:01,458 --> 00:33:03,760
Okay, there's a joke here,
487
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,462
but I think I'm gonna
leave it alone, okay?
488
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,601
Hey, there we go.
489
00:33:11,601 --> 00:33:13,837
That was a good one, good girl.
490
00:33:14,971 --> 00:33:16,039
Hey, come on!
491
00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:17,941
You're gonna need some of this.
492
00:33:18,441 --> 00:33:20,577
I'm not gonna be able to get
much more out of her, I don't think.
493
00:33:21,478 --> 00:33:23,013
I got somethin'
that I didn't have to pay for
494
00:33:23,013 --> 00:33:24,814
'cause Mother Nature provided for me,
495
00:33:24,814 --> 00:33:26,850
and then I picked up the change
496
00:33:26,850 --> 00:33:29,819
with what I had in my head.
It don't get any better than that.
497
00:33:29,819 --> 00:33:32,956
If every deal I made went that way,
life would be grand.
498
00:33:32,956 --> 00:33:34,591
Try it.
499
00:33:38,495 --> 00:33:40,196
It is pretty good.
500
00:33:40,497 --> 00:33:41,831
Oh, that's good stuff.
501
00:33:41,831 --> 00:33:43,967
- Yeah.
- We got a milk-producing lawn mower.
502
00:33:43,967 --> 00:33:46,403
Yup, rock on.
503
00:34:18,902 --> 00:34:20,537
It's like huntin'.
504
00:34:20,537 --> 00:34:23,206
Huntin' animals, huntin' something to sell
505
00:34:23,206 --> 00:34:25,008
as you watch and look and, you know,
506
00:34:25,008 --> 00:34:28,211
more grounds you cover
the better off you are.
507
00:34:28,211 --> 00:34:29,913
In northern Arkansas,
508
00:34:29,913 --> 00:34:34,084
in an abandoned mine shaft
70 feet below the grid,
509
00:34:34,084 --> 00:34:36,786
Joe Ray is searching
for a valuable mineral
510
00:34:36,786 --> 00:34:41,691
known as turkey fat, one he can sell
to buy rifle ammunition.
511
00:34:47,364 --> 00:34:49,199
Well, this is just all falling apart.
512
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,434
I thought that was gonna be a good place.
513
00:34:52,202 --> 00:34:54,638
Ah, nothin' there either.
514
00:35:07,717 --> 00:35:10,353
This is a nice little piece here.
515
00:35:10,353 --> 00:35:13,623
There's a vein of little quartz
that runs right in this.
516
00:35:16,192 --> 00:35:17,661
It's real small.
517
00:35:34,511 --> 00:35:38,348
Well, maybe I got somethin'
right, oh, yeah! Hang on.
518
00:35:41,718 --> 00:35:42,953
Oh, hell.
519
00:35:44,688 --> 00:35:46,957
This is just fantastic.
520
00:35:50,227 --> 00:35:52,896
This is a pretty good-sized
piece of turkey fat.
521
00:35:53,330 --> 00:35:56,566
The nodules are what makes them the value.
522
00:35:56,566 --> 00:35:59,236
When you've got these,
that's got all these baby nodules,
523
00:35:59,236 --> 00:36:00,670
and the big nodules,
524
00:36:00,670 --> 00:36:03,473
that's, uh, what the
collectors go crazy for.
525
00:36:03,473 --> 00:36:05,642
They go gaga for that .
526
00:36:05,642 --> 00:36:08,111
I've seen small pieces of it
go for, like, 80 or 90 bucks,
527
00:36:08,111 --> 00:36:10,914
and this is probably
three or four times bigger
528
00:36:10,914 --> 00:36:12,182
than any that I've seen.
529
00:36:13,350 --> 00:36:15,151
I'm gonna take this piece of turkey fat
530
00:36:15,151 --> 00:36:19,089
and these other little pieces of crystal
I got here and, uh,
531
00:36:19,856 --> 00:36:21,458
I'm gonna head on out and take them
532
00:36:21,458 --> 00:36:23,159
over to my mineral buyer
later this afternoon
533
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:24,561
and barter for whatever I need.
534
00:36:30,233 --> 00:36:31,668
Well, it's rainin'.
535
00:36:31,668 --> 00:36:34,137
This is gonna be super slick
getting outta here, fellas.
536
00:36:34,137 --> 00:36:36,606
So, y'all probably gonna
need to put the cameras away
537
00:36:36,606 --> 00:36:38,508
to make this a lot safer for everybody.
538
00:36:38,508 --> 00:36:42,045
So, it's time to get on up
and let's get out of here.
539
00:36:51,321 --> 00:36:53,323
With the snow we get
and the rough terrain
540
00:36:53,323 --> 00:36:55,125
and the non-groomed trails,
541
00:36:55,125 --> 00:36:57,761
it's important to have
a proper snow machine.
542
00:36:58,261 --> 00:37:02,032
Far outside the grid,
on Beaver Island,
543
00:37:02,499 --> 00:37:06,636
Dan Burton is attempting
to repair his newfound snowmobile,
544
00:37:06,636 --> 00:37:10,240
after a successful salvage mission
on Lake Michigan.
545
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:11,775
The sled was in pretty good shape.
546
00:37:12,242 --> 00:37:14,644
That's one thing we have
as advantage of is, you know,
547
00:37:14,644 --> 00:37:17,480
it's all fresh water
so we don't corrode as fast.
548
00:37:18,281 --> 00:37:20,717
Kinda got the carburetors
temporarily wired on until
549
00:37:20,717 --> 00:37:22,786
I get the air breather
and everything else in it.
550
00:37:45,775 --> 00:37:47,744
So, we're still sucking air
in this carburetor,
551
00:37:47,744 --> 00:37:50,780
we're gonna just to try to tighten it up
a little bit temporarily.
552
00:37:51,781 --> 00:37:54,985
A sled like this that was
running would be at least $500.
553
00:37:55,352 --> 00:37:58,221
You know, it was just sweat equity.
554
00:37:58,221 --> 00:38:01,157
You find it, you fix it,
and hopefully you don't
555
00:38:01,157 --> 00:38:02,659
have to put too much money into it.
556
00:38:03,059 --> 00:38:04,861
That's what we do on Beaver Island.
557
00:38:04,861 --> 00:38:06,696
That's what life is all about,
558
00:38:06,696 --> 00:38:09,366
is looking at what you've
done at the end of the day.
559
00:38:20,610 --> 00:38:24,548
Come on, girl, come on.
560
00:38:43,833 --> 00:38:44,868
Woo!
561
00:38:50,407 --> 00:38:52,542
Leave it there until winter.
562
00:39:14,297 --> 00:39:16,132
Hell, I've done
come over here fixing to go up
563
00:39:16,132 --> 00:39:18,301
and see my friend Bee, see if I can, uh,
564
00:39:18,301 --> 00:39:21,504
sell all the minerals
and stuff I've got here.
565
00:39:22,372 --> 00:39:24,140
In the Ozark Mountains,
566
00:39:24,140 --> 00:39:27,177
Joe Ray has emerged from below the grid,
567
00:39:27,177 --> 00:39:29,679
after discovering valuable minerals
568
00:39:29,679 --> 00:39:32,249
in an abandoned mine shaft.
569
00:39:32,249 --> 00:39:34,618
Now, he'll attempt to sell them
570
00:39:34,618 --> 00:39:38,121
and earn the money he needs
to buy rifle ammunition.
571
00:39:40,357 --> 00:39:42,826
Hello, Bee, how's it goin'?
572
00:39:42,826 --> 00:39:45,228
Long time no see, Joe.
573
00:39:45,228 --> 00:39:47,664
Yeah, it's a long ways over the hill.
574
00:40:01,478 --> 00:40:03,513
When you coming back to society?
575
00:40:03,513 --> 00:40:06,416
I've got my own society up in the woods.
576
00:40:06,416 --> 00:40:08,151
They don't bother me there as much.
577
00:40:08,151 --> 00:40:09,719
I don't have to put up with people.
578
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,354
That's the way I love it.
579
00:40:11,354 --> 00:40:13,123
Goin' underground, I don't
have to put up with anybody.
580
00:40:13,123 --> 00:40:15,725
- Yeah, I don't know.
- It's a whole new world down there.
581
00:40:15,725 --> 00:40:18,895
I found a small crystal vein
when I was down in the tunnel.
582
00:40:23,934 --> 00:40:25,468
Smithsonite.
583
00:40:28,038 --> 00:40:30,273
This is definitely worth
a little bit of cash.
584
00:40:30,273 --> 00:40:33,944
So, I mean, I'm looking
at maybe, I don't know, 150 bucks?
585
00:40:34,945 --> 00:40:36,179
You go 200?
586
00:40:37,414 --> 00:40:39,282
Ah, 175?
587
00:40:39,282 --> 00:40:40,450
Okay.
588
00:40:40,450 --> 00:40:43,053
175 sounds like a good deal.
589
00:40:43,653 --> 00:40:45,288
How about 180?
590
00:40:45,288 --> 00:40:46,690
Hey, that'll work great.
591
00:40:46,690 --> 00:40:48,425
This way you don't have
to owe me any change.
592
00:40:49,793 --> 00:40:51,561
You be careful going back
over the hill, you hear?
593
00:40:51,661 --> 00:40:52,862
Gimme a hug before I go.
594
00:40:52,862 --> 00:40:54,798
- Yeah...
- Might be a while.
595
00:40:56,233 --> 00:40:57,734
With the sale complete,
596
00:40:57,734 --> 00:41:00,904
Joe has enough money to buy
the ammunition he needs
597
00:41:00,904 --> 00:41:02,572
for the month to come.
598
00:41:03,673 --> 00:41:06,109
And though supply runs like this
599
00:41:06,109 --> 00:41:08,511
require him to leave the caves,
600
00:41:08,511 --> 00:41:11,047
as soon as his business is done,
601
00:41:11,047 --> 00:41:13,917
he quickly recedes back below the grid.
602
00:41:15,485 --> 00:41:17,387
Finding stuff is great
'cause, I mean,
603
00:41:17,387 --> 00:41:19,956
that's what I live off of
and that's what supports me.
604
00:41:19,956 --> 00:41:22,559
I mean, it's not like going
to an 8:00 to 5:00 job,
605
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:24,361
sitting in a cubicle
and looking out the window going,
606
00:41:24,361 --> 00:41:25,695
"Ah, what am I doing here?"
607
00:41:25,695 --> 00:41:27,664
And I don't miss none of that at all.
608
00:41:27,664 --> 00:41:30,033
But I can always go out, dig,
609
00:41:30,033 --> 00:41:32,535
and, uh, find something I can
sell and make money with
610
00:41:32,535 --> 00:41:35,305
'cause that's what you
gotta do up here to survive.
611
00:41:55,258 --> 00:41:58,261
Me and the dogs
are gonna eat good tonight.
612
00:41:59,095 --> 00:42:01,765
On the ridgelines
of the Clearwater Mountains,
613
00:42:01,765 --> 00:42:05,268
beyond the grid,
Bear Claw returns to camp,
614
00:42:05,268 --> 00:42:07,170
after a 10-hour hunt.
615
00:42:08,772 --> 00:42:11,374
Bear meat's kinda strong,
616
00:42:12,709 --> 00:42:14,778
hell, you eat bear at night,
you wake up with howling
617
00:42:14,778 --> 00:42:16,713
in the morning, so.
618
00:42:18,982 --> 00:42:21,384
You know, I learned when I was a kid,
619
00:42:21,384 --> 00:42:24,254
my mom always said
the squeal was the only part
620
00:42:24,254 --> 00:42:26,556
of the hog that got away.
621
00:42:27,257 --> 00:42:30,160
Use everything you can.
622
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,362
We certainly don't wanna be wasteful.
623
00:42:32,896 --> 00:42:36,800
Lucky enough, I was raised by good folks.
624
00:42:50,113 --> 00:42:52,415
It's ready. I can hardly wait.
625
00:42:57,053 --> 00:42:59,289
Mmm, man, oh, man.
626
00:43:00,290 --> 00:43:02,826
The best meat in the
whole wide world tonight.
627
00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:09,432
Hiding from civilization,
628
00:43:09,432 --> 00:43:13,670
far beyond the grid, even a solitary man
629
00:43:13,670 --> 00:43:16,106
can't get by on his own all the time.
630
00:43:16,106 --> 00:43:20,143
I'm so fortunate to live here
with all these fine neighbors.
631
00:43:20,143 --> 00:43:23,113
When I get hungry and want some meat,
632
00:43:23,113 --> 00:43:25,382
I go over and ask 'em to hunt.
633
00:43:25,382 --> 00:43:29,252
It really helps in a real serious way.
634
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:34,591
On the edge of the world,
pride isn't an option.
635
00:43:34,591 --> 00:43:37,193
You give us some milk,
we'll give you some goodies.
636
00:43:37,193 --> 00:43:40,263
That sounds like a fair trade,
don't you think? Huh?
637
00:43:41,831 --> 00:43:44,701
{\an8}And relying on
a few trusted allies
638
00:43:44,701 --> 00:43:46,970
{\an8}can be the only way to endure.
639
00:43:46,970 --> 00:43:48,772
{\an8}Today was a good success.
640
00:43:48,772 --> 00:43:51,641
{\an8}You never have too much
ammunition out here, trust me.
641
00:43:54,578 --> 00:43:56,446
{\an8}For those who choose this life,
642
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,649
{\an8}a little help can go a long way.
643
00:44:00,183 --> 00:44:02,352
{\an8}Living in an isolated area
where you only have
644
00:44:02,352 --> 00:44:05,055
{\an8}a handful of neighbors,
you have to work together.
645
00:44:05,055 --> 00:44:07,724
{\an8}Even in the toughest of times,
you gotta band together.
646
00:44:07,724 --> 00:44:10,126
{\an8}I mean, that's what it takes to survive.
