1
00:00:21,231 --> 00:00:24,434
You know, back when
I was makin' foldin' money, yeah,
2
00:00:24,434 --> 00:00:26,770
I, uh... I did enjoy that.
3
00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:30,373
But bein' a slave to society, you know,
4
00:00:30,373 --> 00:00:33,043
there's important things in
this world, food, and shelter,
5
00:00:33,043 --> 00:00:34,411
and family, and good friends.
6
00:00:34,411 --> 00:00:37,280
And, you know, it's not how much you make,
7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,149
it's how much you spend,
8
00:00:39,149 --> 00:00:43,186
and I don't miss
all that folding money at all.
9
00:00:43,186 --> 00:00:46,156
As long as me and the dogs
and the horses are all fed and warm
10
00:00:46,156 --> 00:00:49,659
and got what we need, that's...
And I got powder and lead
11
00:00:49,659 --> 00:00:53,263
and a striker and a flint
and a good knife,
12
00:00:53,263 --> 00:00:56,433
and those are the comforts
of this world to me.
13
00:00:58,702 --> 00:01:00,337
In the age of technology,
14
00:01:00,337 --> 00:01:03,907
the electrical grid is expanding,
15
00:01:03,907 --> 00:01:07,077
and the world is getting smaller.
16
00:01:07,077 --> 00:01:11,147
For some, finding peace of mind
means hiding out
17
00:01:12,015 --> 00:01:13,516
where no one thinks to look.
18
00:01:14,851 --> 00:01:19,022
To escape, they redefine "off the grid."
19
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:33,103
{\an8}There's new stuff to see
every time you come in here.
20
00:01:33,103 --> 00:01:36,006
{\an8}It's like bein' a kid in
a candy store, really.
21
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,675
{\an8}Every time you come in or go out,
22
00:01:38,675 --> 00:01:40,744
{\an8}you're looking at things
from a different direction,
23
00:01:40,744 --> 00:01:43,280
{\an8}and you always see something new.
24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,282
{\an8}Low here, fellas, real low.
25
00:01:48,018 --> 00:01:52,756
For nearly two years,
Joe Ray has made his home below the grid,
26
00:01:52,756 --> 00:01:56,092
in the Ozark Mountains
of North Central Arkansas.
27
00:01:56,927 --> 00:01:58,461
This is it.
28
00:01:58,461 --> 00:02:00,964
Living almost
entirely underground,
29
00:02:01,498 --> 00:02:05,569
Joe utilizes caves for shelter,
and he strategically stashes
30
00:02:05,569 --> 00:02:08,338
food and supplies throughout the tunnels.
31
00:02:10,073 --> 00:02:12,542
Whoo, come down here
to get me a little bite to eat
32
00:02:12,542 --> 00:02:15,011
before I get on back to bein' busy.
33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,281
Gotta have some jerky.
34
00:02:18,281 --> 00:02:21,418
This stuff here gives me good energy
and keeps me goin'.
35
00:02:21,418 --> 00:02:23,053
I'm almost out of it.
36
00:02:25,889 --> 00:02:26,923
In this cave, you know,
37
00:02:26,923 --> 00:02:28,925
I mean, the temperature stays
so right in here.
38
00:02:28,925 --> 00:02:30,260
It doesn't ever get hot.
39
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:32,329
It always stays in the 60s.
40
00:02:32,329 --> 00:02:35,832
So that sort of will let meats
hang a little longer.
41
00:02:35,832 --> 00:02:37,334
I make my own jerky here.
42
00:02:37,334 --> 00:02:41,338
So, this is one way that I know
I'll always have meat supply,
43
00:02:41,338 --> 00:02:43,406
because the jerky will last me forever
44
00:02:43,406 --> 00:02:46,543
as long as I keep it in an
airtight, semi-airtight thing.
45
00:02:46,543 --> 00:02:48,879
Moisture in here will degrade it,
but like I say,
46
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,248
I can airtight it,
and I can keep it for a while.
47
00:02:51,248 --> 00:02:53,149
But this is all I got left, but...
48
00:02:55,318 --> 00:02:57,187
I'm gonna need to be goin',
fillin' that up.
49
00:02:57,187 --> 00:02:58,922
My rice supply is gettin' low.
50
00:02:58,922 --> 00:03:01,191
I'm out of beans completely.
51
00:03:01,191 --> 00:03:03,860
Head out and see if I can find me
some fresh meat to eat.
52
00:03:16,306 --> 00:03:20,010
I'll just have to see what moves
when I'm out runnin' around,
53
00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:22,045
what I can stir up.
54
00:03:44,734 --> 00:03:46,469
Goodness gracious.
55
00:03:46,469 --> 00:03:49,806
Well, I don't see any date on this.
56
00:03:50,907 --> 00:03:53,743
Chuck, Todd, Stan, Jane,
Stewart, Shamrelle, Loretta,
57
00:03:53,743 --> 00:03:57,113
Trisha and Bear Claw,
the little guy on the end.
58
00:03:58,648 --> 00:04:01,251
We have just got ready for church,
59
00:04:01,251 --> 00:04:04,054
and we're standin' in the driveway
by our old farmhouse,
60
00:04:04,054 --> 00:04:07,157
and my mom called me her baby, and I was.
61
00:04:08,825 --> 00:04:11,695
My brother, Stewart,
it always drove him crazy.
62
00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:17,767
In the Clearwater Mountains
just after sunrise,
63
00:04:17,767 --> 00:04:21,204
Bear Claw is looking back
on the road that led him here.
64
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:26,576
Today, he's celebrating his 60th birthday,
65
00:04:26,576 --> 00:04:29,613
his 10th beyond the grid.
66
00:04:29,613 --> 00:04:33,083
I celebrate my birthday
in the spring now.
67
00:04:33,083 --> 00:04:36,820
You gotta live through winter
to make it worthwhile.
68
00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:38,889
So, I count winters.
69
00:04:40,290 --> 00:04:42,025
To mark the occasion,
70
00:04:42,025 --> 00:04:46,663
today he'll embark on a 65-mile pack trip
with his best friends
71
00:04:46,663 --> 00:04:48,899
to his favorite place on Earth,
72
00:04:48,899 --> 00:04:53,203
the big cedar woods of Eldorado Creek
in Western Idaho.
73
00:04:54,938 --> 00:04:57,073
Well, today's the day.
74
00:04:57,073 --> 00:05:00,477
Wakin' up this morning, knowing that
I'm headed out for a pack trip.
75
00:05:00,477 --> 00:05:01,711
This is what I live for.
76
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:05,682
There's nothing more I would rather do.
77
00:05:07,817 --> 00:05:10,820
I'm glad you showed up.
It's about time for a break.
78
00:05:10,820 --> 00:05:12,689
You know,
every time I come over here,
79
00:05:12,689 --> 00:05:16,092
you're bent over a horse
or riding in circles.
80
00:05:16,092 --> 00:05:17,193
Imagine that.
81
00:05:17,193 --> 00:05:20,297
That sounds about right.
82
00:05:20,297 --> 00:05:21,398
How's it going, buddy?
83
00:05:21,398 --> 00:05:23,400
Dang good, how about you?
84
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,467
Pretty good. Watch out.
85
00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:25,902
That horse is scared of grass, man.
86
00:05:25,902 --> 00:05:27,637
That's good. Imagine that.
87
00:05:27,637 --> 00:05:28,738
He'd probably run off.
88
00:05:28,738 --> 00:05:30,941
He'd probably...
89
00:05:30,941 --> 00:05:32,776
- Yeah, it's good to see you.
- How was the ride?
90
00:05:32,776 --> 00:05:34,411
Oh, man, it was great.
91
00:05:34,411 --> 00:05:36,246
You ready to go on a little adventure?
92
00:05:36,246 --> 00:05:38,114
- Yeah.
- Head for the high country?
93
00:05:38,114 --> 00:05:39,416
Yeah, I gotta put
some shoes on the fronts,
94
00:05:39,416 --> 00:05:40,850
at least, and then we'll roll.
95
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:42,185
Good. Good.
96
00:05:51,962 --> 00:05:54,798
We're goin' up Eldorado,
is that right?
97
00:05:54,798 --> 00:05:56,099
That's the plan.
98
00:05:56,099 --> 00:05:57,367
I haven't been
up there in a while, either.
99
00:05:57,367 --> 00:06:00,237
It's gonna be interesting to go up there.
I'm excited about it.
100
00:06:00,237 --> 00:06:01,905
Remember
the last time we were up there,
101
00:06:01,905 --> 00:06:03,940
them great big cedar trees?
102
00:06:03,940 --> 00:06:05,108
- Yeah.
- Man.
103
00:06:05,108 --> 00:06:07,611
- Yeah, those are huge. They're big cedars.
- Aren't they unbelievable?
104
00:06:07,611 --> 00:06:08,678
Yeah.
105
00:06:11,014 --> 00:06:13,216
Them is the biggest
trees I've seen in Idaho.
106
00:06:13,216 --> 00:06:14,551
Yup.
107
00:06:25,328 --> 00:06:26,663
All right.
108
00:06:26,663 --> 00:06:27,797
Hello, Bear Claw.
109
00:06:27,797 --> 00:06:29,432
You are here.
110
00:06:29,432 --> 00:06:30,667
Well, it's been a while.
111
00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:32,669
Boy, it has been a while.
112
00:06:32,669 --> 00:06:34,571
- How you doing, partner?
- Good!
113
00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:37,374
Boy, it's good to see you.
You're looking good.
114
00:06:37,374 --> 00:06:40,110
Yeah, right. You got a new gun?
115
00:06:40,110 --> 00:06:43,280
Well, it's an old .44.
116
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,082
That's pretty good.
Let me fondle that thing, would you?
117
00:06:46,082 --> 00:06:47,651
I tell you what.
118
00:06:47,651 --> 00:06:50,120
Huh. You know.
119
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,321
They could be brothers.
120
00:06:51,321 --> 00:06:52,455
Uh...
121
00:06:55,859 --> 00:06:59,062
I think they used
more metal back in the day.
122
00:06:59,062 --> 00:07:00,163
In the old days?
You bet.
123
00:07:00,163 --> 00:07:01,865
Plum good to see you, partner.
124
00:07:02,933 --> 00:07:04,534
It's been a long time,
been too long.
125
00:07:04,534 --> 00:07:05,602
Yeah.
126
00:07:07,637 --> 00:07:09,706
You're in charge of the map.
127
00:07:10,106 --> 00:07:13,243
We're gonna ride
the Lewis and Clark Trail right here.
128
00:07:13,243 --> 00:07:16,079
We're gonna go to
the Laurel Creek campground there.
129
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,482
It takes off into
the forest service lands,
130
00:07:19,482 --> 00:07:23,820
and we're gonna go
all the way up to Eldorado Creek.
131
00:07:26,690 --> 00:07:29,759
To reach the big cedars
of Eldorado Creek,
132
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:35,665
it's a 65-mile ride across rugged terrain
and untouched wilderness,
133
00:07:35,665 --> 00:07:40,704
the kind of test Bear Claw's seeking
to mark his 60th birthday.
134
00:07:40,704 --> 00:07:43,006
Lot of climbing, lot of long days,
135
00:07:43,006 --> 00:07:45,342
jumping creeks, goin' uphill.
136
00:07:46,443 --> 00:07:48,011
My blood's boilin'.
137
00:08:07,764 --> 00:08:10,333
I'm just gonna
tuck these propane tanks away.
138
00:08:10,333 --> 00:08:13,470
I just don't want them to get
blown over or knocked over
139
00:08:13,470 --> 00:08:15,705
or anything like that.
140
00:08:15,705 --> 00:08:17,040
Outside the grid,
141
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,977
Dan Burton is always prepared
to battle the elements.
142
00:08:20,977 --> 00:08:22,746
Lake Michigan is no joke.
143
00:08:22,746 --> 00:08:26,016
You know, a storm will roll in
quicker than you think,
144
00:08:26,016 --> 00:08:28,351
so you gotta take precaution.
145
00:08:29,786 --> 00:08:31,655
In the middle of Lake Michigan,
146
00:08:31,655 --> 00:08:36,092
localized storms often bring
high winds and heavy rains
147
00:08:36,092 --> 00:08:38,528
to the Beaver Island archipelago.
148
00:08:40,063 --> 00:08:42,832
There's a chance of, you know,
149
00:08:42,832 --> 00:08:46,169
some heavier weather comin' in,
which, if you look around,
150
00:08:46,169 --> 00:08:49,272
means somethin' from above comin' down.
151
00:08:49,272 --> 00:08:51,641
You can feel it, it's getting breezy.
152
00:08:51,641 --> 00:08:54,778
You know, I've had many a times
where, you know,
153
00:08:54,778 --> 00:08:56,379
it takes a day or two to get out of here,
154
00:08:56,379 --> 00:08:58,248
just because you're dealing
with the aftermath.
155
00:08:59,182 --> 00:09:01,651
Living on an island, living in
a harsh climate is always taking
156
00:09:01,651 --> 00:09:05,655
more work than anywhere else,
but what you give up
157
00:09:05,655 --> 00:09:07,757
and what you gain is worth it.
158
00:09:07,757 --> 00:09:10,026
This kind of life, you know,
livin' in the boonies,
159
00:09:10,026 --> 00:09:13,230
to me it's about, you know,
dreamin' about something simpler
160
00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:15,865
and then be able to say,
you know, "I did it."
161
00:09:15,865 --> 00:09:19,002
The best thing to do, you know,
I mean, as a whole,
162
00:09:19,002 --> 00:09:20,503
is to bunker down, just like anywhere.
163
00:09:20,503 --> 00:09:22,472
You know, treat it like a tornado,
164
00:09:22,472 --> 00:09:25,842
get in the sturdiest room you got
and hold on for dear life.
165
00:09:41,591 --> 00:09:44,427
I feel like hammered dog...
166
00:09:48,899 --> 00:09:50,767
You're a little warm.
167
00:09:52,302 --> 00:09:53,436
Are you nauseous?
168
00:09:53,436 --> 00:09:56,840
No, it's just a pain in my damn stomach.
169
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,542
- Appendicitis?
- No, it's higher.
170
00:09:59,542 --> 00:10:00,644
Okay.
171
00:10:00,644 --> 00:10:02,946
- It hurts.
- Hmm,
172
00:10:02,946 --> 00:10:06,416
- I'll see what I can find.
- Yeah.
173
00:10:06,416 --> 00:10:08,151
- Are you gonna be okay?
- Yeah, I'll be okay.
174
00:10:08,151 --> 00:10:10,120
- You sure?
- Yup. I'm good.
175
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,421
Be careful, please.
176
00:10:11,421 --> 00:10:12,622
Uh-huh, you be careful.
177
00:10:12,622 --> 00:10:13,823
Yeah. Love you.
178
00:10:13,823 --> 00:10:15,625
I don't wanna come back and find you...
179
00:10:16,726 --> 00:10:18,762
Find you dead.
180
00:10:20,430 --> 00:10:23,400
Five years ago,
Doc and Jeanny Leverett
181
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,569
to Eastern Washington,
182
00:10:25,569 --> 00:10:30,006
heading above the grid
in search of health and peace of mind.
183
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,009
Love you, too, babe. Sleep well.
184
00:10:33,009 --> 00:10:34,578
Before their move,
185
00:10:34,578 --> 00:10:37,681
Doc suffered from
an array of health issues.
186
00:10:37,681 --> 00:10:41,818
And some of those problems
still plague him to this day.
187
00:10:41,818 --> 00:10:43,186
Before we moved here,
188
00:10:43,186 --> 00:10:45,722
I had five blood clots in my lung,
189
00:10:45,722 --> 00:10:49,226
a small stroke at the age of 35.
190
00:10:49,226 --> 00:10:52,262
This was kind of my last ditch
effort to save my own life.
191
00:10:52,262 --> 00:10:55,332
If I kept living in the city,
I think I would already be in the ground.
192
00:11:07,811 --> 00:11:09,713
This is chamomile.
193
00:11:09,713 --> 00:11:13,183
Can make a really good
sleepy-time tea out of it.
194
00:11:13,183 --> 00:11:14,517
These are rose hips.
195
00:11:14,517 --> 00:11:15,952
These are the ticket.
196
00:11:15,952 --> 00:11:20,457
Rose hips have 30 times
more vitamin C per pound
197
00:11:20,457 --> 00:11:22,259
than an orange does.
198
00:11:22,626 --> 00:11:24,561
My husband always has health issues.
199
00:11:25,262 --> 00:11:30,033
Everything from stomach ulcers
to arthritis,
200
00:11:30,033 --> 00:11:32,135
he's got a fused wrist.
201
00:11:32,135 --> 00:11:34,704
I mean, from head-to-toe,
he's pretty much broken.
202
00:11:35,906 --> 00:11:39,175
His mind is good, though,
and his love for me is awesome.
203
00:11:39,175 --> 00:11:41,945
This is gonna make him
feel so much better.
204
00:11:41,945 --> 00:11:43,880
If he's happy, I'm happy.
205
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,583
If he's miserable, we're all miserable.
206
00:11:46,583 --> 00:11:48,752
Let's head back to see how he's doin'.
207
00:11:56,059 --> 00:11:59,596
This is the magic "go to bed" medicine.
208
00:12:01,698 --> 00:12:03,433
These rose hips are gonna be really nice,
209
00:12:03,433 --> 00:12:04,935
crush 'em up a little bit.
210
00:12:08,605 --> 00:12:11,675
Cheesecloth is really awesome.
It's got little holes in it.
211
00:12:11,675 --> 00:12:13,109
Liquid just comes right through there.
212
00:12:13,109 --> 00:12:15,512
It's kind of like a teabag
that you would get in the store,
213
00:12:15,512 --> 00:12:18,215
without anything in it.
It's a strainer, basically.
214
00:12:19,549 --> 00:12:21,017
Hey, sweetie.
215
00:12:21,017 --> 00:12:23,253
- Hey.
- How you doin'?
216
00:12:23,954 --> 00:12:25,989
I've had better days.
217
00:12:25,989 --> 00:12:27,557
I got some stuff.
218
00:12:28,291 --> 00:12:29,492
I'm just gonna...
219
00:12:30,627 --> 00:12:31,761
It's not that hot.
220
00:12:38,134 --> 00:12:40,503
Try that.
The glass is a little warm, but...
221
00:12:45,609 --> 00:12:49,713
I think she likes me being sick
as much as I hate being sick.
222
00:12:50,013 --> 00:12:52,916
I like you being sick because then
you realize you actually need me.
223
00:12:54,517 --> 00:12:56,987
It's why I secretly
poison your food at night.
224
00:13:16,806 --> 00:13:18,508
Let's take a walk and go.
225
00:13:19,242 --> 00:13:21,077
In the Ozark Mountains,
226
00:13:21,077 --> 00:13:24,848
Joe Ray spends most of his time
below the grid.
227
00:13:24,848 --> 00:13:28,985
But when survival dictates,
he's forced to the outside world.
228
00:13:29,986 --> 00:13:33,857
Today, he's emerged in hopes
of trapping small game,
229
00:13:33,857 --> 00:13:37,727
to provide enough meat to sustain him
for the month ahead.
230
00:13:49,739 --> 00:13:53,643
Yeah, these tall briars out here
are a tough bunch
231
00:13:53,643 --> 00:13:55,512
to put up with. They, uh...
232
00:13:55,512 --> 00:13:58,515
They attack me more than I attack them.
233
00:13:58,515 --> 00:14:00,250
But, I mean,
that's just part of life out here.
234
00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:15,298
I've got hog trails
goin' off through here.
235
00:14:15,298 --> 00:14:16,866
I got hog tracks.
236
00:14:16,866 --> 00:14:18,602
I know we got hogs up here.
237
00:14:18,602 --> 00:14:21,404
If one comes out here right now,
I'mma warn y'all, I'm gonna take off.
238
00:14:21,404 --> 00:14:24,975
I'm going up a tree,
because these things are super nasty.
239
00:14:24,975 --> 00:14:27,811
They got tusks.
They can rip you up in just a second.
240
00:14:28,378 --> 00:14:32,716
Yep, I've got them a waller here,
a hog waller,
241
00:14:32,716 --> 00:14:35,752
that's where they come up
and roll in the mud. It protects 'em.
242
00:14:35,752 --> 00:14:37,687
Gets to beat rid of the bugs, the lice.
243
00:14:38,355 --> 00:14:39,489
You can see where
they've been rubbing on here,
244
00:14:39,489 --> 00:14:41,591
on their tusks and scratchin' around.
245
00:14:52,869 --> 00:14:54,971
This could be a good score for me.
246
00:14:54,971 --> 00:14:58,775
See if we can't catch these babies
and dress 'em up.
247
00:15:18,662 --> 00:15:20,630
In the middle of Lake Michigan,
248
00:15:20,630 --> 00:15:24,935
winds exceeding 35 miles per hour
have hit Beaver Island,
249
00:15:24,935 --> 00:15:27,804
leaving widespread damage and debris.
250
00:15:29,539 --> 00:15:33,810
Now, Dan Burton has emerged
to survey the aftermath.
251
00:15:48,225 --> 00:15:51,428
A little bit of the aftermath
of a wind storm.
252
00:15:52,362 --> 00:15:54,231
You know, these beach trees,
they get so old and hollow
253
00:15:54,231 --> 00:15:57,834
where the storm, the wind just hits 'em
and busts them tops right off,
254
00:15:59,369 --> 00:16:00,971
and it leaves you this to deal with.
255
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,877
It'll take a little cleaning up,
you know, some firewood.
256
00:16:06,877 --> 00:16:08,044
We got a lot of property to check,
257
00:16:08,044 --> 00:16:11,748
so I'm gonna keep movin'
and we'll assess the damage.
258
00:16:16,286 --> 00:16:17,821
Oh...
259
00:16:17,821 --> 00:16:18,922
Yeah.
260
00:16:20,824 --> 00:16:22,158
You know, welcome to my world.
261
00:16:22,158 --> 00:16:24,094
This is what I gotta deal with today.
262
00:16:24,094 --> 00:16:26,429
A tree landed right on my truck.
263
00:16:36,873 --> 00:16:38,808
It's the only truck I got.
264
00:16:38,808 --> 00:16:40,944
It's what I use to get,
you know, firewood.
265
00:16:40,944 --> 00:16:42,913
I go hunting and fishing with this truck.
266
00:16:42,913 --> 00:16:46,216
So, yeah, I'm gonna have to fix the truck.
267
00:16:47,450 --> 00:16:48,485
I got a game plan.
268
00:16:48,485 --> 00:16:50,420
I'm gonna try and get a hold
of a buddy of mine,
269
00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:51,488
my friend Randy.
270
00:16:51,488 --> 00:16:52,756
Titus, come on, buddy.
271
00:16:52,756 --> 00:16:54,024
He's a logger out here.
272
00:16:54,024 --> 00:16:56,593
He's one of the few loggers
that are left on the island.
273
00:16:56,593 --> 00:16:59,629
He lives about a mile through the woods
from my house.
274
00:16:59,629 --> 00:17:01,965
Uh, he's actually
one of my closest neighbors.
275
00:17:01,965 --> 00:17:03,934
See if I can get him to give me a hand.
276
00:17:27,057 --> 00:17:28,491
Can we drink water?
277
00:17:28,491 --> 00:17:30,327
Let's do it.
278
00:17:30,327 --> 00:17:32,329
I'm sure
they're plum thirsty by now.
279
00:17:35,131 --> 00:17:36,132
Okay.
280
00:17:38,101 --> 00:17:41,304
When I got to Idaho 10 years ago,
Han and I,
281
00:17:41,304 --> 00:17:47,143
our first pack trip, we saddled up
and I rode Conan's horse.
282
00:17:47,143 --> 00:17:50,647
We came to Fish Creek,
and we came down to the big cedars,
283
00:17:52,616 --> 00:17:55,418
and those are the biggest trees
I ever seen in my life.
284
00:17:55,418 --> 00:17:57,621
It's out in the middle of nowhere.
285
00:17:57,621 --> 00:18:00,523
The cedars are tremendous.
The energy is amazing.
286
00:18:00,523 --> 00:18:02,492
The first time
we were here in this meadow,
287
00:18:02,492 --> 00:18:06,730
I had a dream of my father,
and the day before we rode in there.
288
00:18:06,730 --> 00:18:09,466
So, I'm always thinking of that.
289
00:18:09,466 --> 00:18:11,568
Uh, I know he's looking down on me,
290
00:18:11,568 --> 00:18:15,839
and this is just
a real, real sacred place to me.
291
00:18:18,608 --> 00:18:22,445
Beyond the grid,
Han and Conan are helping Bear Claw
292
00:18:22,445 --> 00:18:25,649
mark the occasion of his 60th birthday
293
00:18:25,649 --> 00:18:29,319
with a 65-mile pack ride
to the big cedar woods.
294
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:31,321
Bear Claw's favorite place on Earth.
295
00:18:33,657 --> 00:18:35,158
Kind of a bank a little bit,
296
00:18:35,158 --> 00:18:39,930
but I think we could probably...
Well, let me try it out.
297
00:18:45,802 --> 00:18:47,337
It's a pretty big drop.
298
00:18:54,711 --> 00:18:57,314
Whoa, buddy.
That was a big one, huh?
299
00:18:57,314 --> 00:18:58,448
Geez.
300
00:18:58,448 --> 00:19:00,550
That's not too good.
301
00:19:00,550 --> 00:19:01,985
The out is a little rough.
302
00:19:23,573 --> 00:19:25,408
Whoa!
303
00:19:42,025 --> 00:19:43,827
Whoa, whoa!
304
00:19:46,096 --> 00:19:48,298
Conan.
305
00:19:49,332 --> 00:19:51,001
I got her.
306
00:19:56,539 --> 00:19:59,242
Bear Claw, Han
and Conan must work quickly
307
00:19:59,242 --> 00:20:02,112
to remove 300 pounds
from their horse's back
308
00:20:02,112 --> 00:20:03,980
to help pull her to her feet.
309
00:20:03,980 --> 00:20:06,182
Let her up,
before her head's in there.
310
00:20:06,182 --> 00:20:10,053
If her nose is submerged,
her lungs could fill with fluid.
311
00:20:10,053 --> 00:20:12,188
A potentially critical situation.
312
00:20:12,188 --> 00:20:13,490
It's okay, girl.
313
00:20:13,490 --> 00:20:14,624
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
314
00:20:17,827 --> 00:20:19,229
Hang on, hang on.
315
00:20:19,229 --> 00:20:21,264
I can loosen it with my knife...
316
00:20:23,633 --> 00:20:25,335
We got you.
317
00:20:25,835 --> 00:20:27,237
Watch her legs.
318
00:20:27,237 --> 00:20:30,073
As Yuma struggles,
they must work cautiously.
319
00:20:30,574 --> 00:20:34,544
One kick could deliver enough force
to break a human bone.
320
00:20:37,547 --> 00:20:38,648
Whoa, whoa!
321
00:20:40,650 --> 00:20:41,952
Get her head up, get her head up.
322
00:20:50,727 --> 00:20:51,728
All right. Give it a shot.
323
00:20:54,731 --> 00:20:56,333
Come on. Off them feet.
324
00:20:56,333 --> 00:20:59,135
Come on, hiya. Come on.
325
00:20:59,135 --> 00:21:01,972
Come on. We got it. Come on.
326
00:21:01,972 --> 00:21:03,206
She's out on that log.
327
00:21:07,010 --> 00:21:08,111
There you go.
328
00:21:08,111 --> 00:21:09,546
Hey, come on, sweetheart.
329
00:21:12,616 --> 00:21:14,284
Piece of cake.
330
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:18,321
Oh, man.
331
00:21:19,522 --> 00:21:20,657
Love you, girl.
332
00:21:20,657 --> 00:21:22,192
Bath time!
333
00:21:25,428 --> 00:21:28,164
Maybe we'll find a better spot to cross.
334
00:21:28,164 --> 00:21:30,667
No offense,
but I'm goin' around.
335
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:32,002
I'm with you, boss.
336
00:21:51,521 --> 00:21:52,956
Hell's bells.
337
00:21:54,824 --> 00:21:58,695
Above the grid
in Onion Creek, Washington,
338
00:21:58,695 --> 00:22:01,298
Doc Leverett is battling an illness,
339
00:22:01,298 --> 00:22:04,267
while his wife Jeanny
works on further treatment
340
00:22:04,267 --> 00:22:06,102
to ease his pain.
341
00:22:06,102 --> 00:22:08,471
When you're kind of down for a little bit,
it feels kind of odd.
342
00:22:08,471 --> 00:22:11,775
It's like I'm not pulling
my fair share out here.
343
00:22:11,775 --> 00:22:13,209
And I know she won't... She'll tell you,
344
00:22:13,209 --> 00:22:16,546
oh, she likes to take care of me,
she would prefer me laying,
345
00:22:16,546 --> 00:22:18,715
you know, but I feel kind of useless.
346
00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:38,802
I'm getting some water.
347
00:22:38,802 --> 00:22:41,137
What I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna do a sock therapy
348
00:22:41,137 --> 00:22:42,672
for my husband.
349
00:22:42,672 --> 00:22:47,177
I know it sounds really crazy,
but what you do
350
00:22:47,177 --> 00:22:49,679
is you get some really cold water,
and this is glacier runoff
351
00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:50,981
so it's gonna work great.
352
00:22:50,981 --> 00:22:53,083
You put your socks in there
and get 'em real cold,
353
00:22:53,083 --> 00:22:55,452
and then you wring them out,
slip 'em on his feet at night,
354
00:22:55,452 --> 00:22:58,588
and then when he wakes up,
he's gonna hopefully feel a lot better.
355
00:22:58,588 --> 00:23:02,158
What it does is it promotes circulation,
356
00:23:02,158 --> 00:23:05,829
and it flushes all the bad stuff
out of his system.
357
00:23:06,463 --> 00:23:08,265
I need him back on his own two feet again.
358
00:23:16,873 --> 00:23:17,941
Go ahead, go ahead. Just...
359
00:23:17,941 --> 00:23:19,576
Okay. It don't matter which one.
Put it on!
360
00:23:19,576 --> 00:23:21,111
Little crabby.
361
00:23:21,111 --> 00:23:22,579
It's freezing.
362
00:23:22,579 --> 00:23:25,248
I'd heat it up but it won't work,
so it's kind of pointless.
363
00:23:25,248 --> 00:23:26,883
It's so cold,
it's supposed to start to increase
364
00:23:26,883 --> 00:23:28,251
- the circulation?
- Uh-huh.
365
00:23:29,986 --> 00:23:31,788
It's cold.
366
00:23:32,822 --> 00:23:34,457
Who the hell told you this?
367
00:23:34,457 --> 00:23:35,792
It's something
I read in one of them
368
00:23:35,792 --> 00:23:39,763
live off the grid books,
and you know, Outdoor Living, and...
369
00:23:39,763 --> 00:23:42,299
Oh, we know how accurate
those things are.
370
00:23:42,299 --> 00:23:44,834
Hey, it worked for the pioneers.
371
00:23:44,834 --> 00:23:46,002
No, it didn't.
372
00:23:46,002 --> 00:23:47,637
They didn't have no
books that they read.
373
00:23:47,637 --> 00:23:48,905
Some Jim Bob...
374
00:23:48,905 --> 00:23:50,907
All these theories come from them, though.
375
00:23:50,907 --> 00:23:53,276
- Okay.
- The herbal medicine comes from them.
376
00:23:53,276 --> 00:23:54,678
- Cold socks come from them.
- Okay, okay.
377
00:23:54,678 --> 00:23:56,846
I'm just lashing out
'cause my feet are cold.
378
00:23:56,846 --> 00:23:58,782
You'll be fine, I promise.
379
00:24:12,162 --> 00:24:13,463
We'll take a little sashay.
380
00:24:13,463 --> 00:24:14,764
Okay.
381
00:24:14,764 --> 00:24:16,566
In the Ozark Mountains,
382
00:24:16,566 --> 00:24:21,271
Joe Ray has emerged from below the grid
to hunt for much needed protein.
383
00:24:21,771 --> 00:24:23,106
Been doing any hunting?
384
00:24:23,106 --> 00:24:24,808
Just a little scouting
here and there.
385
00:24:29,713 --> 00:24:32,148
With large feral hogs in the area,
386
00:24:32,148 --> 00:24:36,953
he's recruited Leo Cox,
a fellow hunter to help the cause
387
00:24:36,953 --> 00:24:39,522
and ensure nothing goes to waste.
388
00:24:39,522 --> 00:24:41,558
I like this right in here, Joe.
389
00:24:41,558 --> 00:24:43,793
Come around this root right here.
390
00:24:43,793 --> 00:24:46,062
Oh, this is gonna
be a perfect place here.
391
00:24:46,062 --> 00:24:47,764
Mmm-hmm.
392
00:24:47,764 --> 00:24:50,734
Set a snare up, maybe two here.
393
00:24:50,734 --> 00:24:53,470
Bailing wire.
394
00:24:53,470 --> 00:24:55,705
It's... What would you do without it?
395
00:24:55,705 --> 00:24:57,274
It's hillbilly welding rod.
396
00:24:58,475 --> 00:24:59,743
It's the best stuff ever.
397
00:24:59,743 --> 00:25:02,178
I didn't know they made
muffler clamps for years.
398
00:25:02,178 --> 00:25:05,215
- I just... I just use bailing wire.
- Yeah.
399
00:25:09,085 --> 00:25:11,555
We need...
We need it about that high, don't we?
400
00:25:12,355 --> 00:25:13,356
A little more?
401
00:25:14,791 --> 00:25:17,260
Yeah. So, when
we set this up here like this,
402
00:25:17,260 --> 00:25:19,629
hogs gonna come through here
and they're gonna hit this.
403
00:25:19,629 --> 00:25:22,065
- As soon as they hit this...
- Zip!
404
00:25:22,065 --> 00:25:24,367
It'll slide right up on 'em.
405
00:25:24,367 --> 00:25:26,970
And they'll just, you know, the more
they fight, the tighter it'll get.
406
00:25:28,004 --> 00:25:31,207
It's, uh, definitely something
that they won't get away from.
407
00:25:31,207 --> 00:25:34,177
And they'll probably squeal
and we'll hear them and come a-running.
408
00:25:34,177 --> 00:25:35,412
Yeah, exactly.
409
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:37,747
We'll know the hunt is right here.
410
00:25:51,094 --> 00:25:53,997
Oh...
There's trees down over here, too.
411
00:25:53,997 --> 00:25:57,033
- What do you say, Randy?
- Hey, not too much.
412
00:25:57,033 --> 00:25:58,134
What's up?
413
00:25:58,134 --> 00:26:01,104
Nah, I'm dealing with the same mess
you got going here, man.
414
00:26:01,104 --> 00:26:03,006
- Trees, trees, trees.
- Ah, a little wind.
415
00:26:03,006 --> 00:26:04,541
- Yeah, a little wind.
- A little wind.
416
00:26:04,541 --> 00:26:08,311
Outside the grid,
Dan Burton has set out to recruit
417
00:26:08,311 --> 00:26:12,949
logger Randy Osborne to help remove
a fallen tree from his truck
418
00:26:12,949 --> 00:26:14,417
in the wake of a storm.
419
00:26:15,252 --> 00:26:16,720
She was pretty rough,
what did you think of that storm?
420
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,888
Geez.
421
00:26:17,888 --> 00:26:19,923
Woke me up, scared the dog. God.
422
00:26:19,923 --> 00:26:22,259
Well, how's everything fare
over at your house?
423
00:26:22,259 --> 00:26:23,660
Well, I got a mess to deal with,
424
00:26:23,660 --> 00:26:26,529
but most importantly,
I got one on right top of my Jeep pickup.
425
00:26:26,529 --> 00:26:27,697
- Oh, God.
- Yeah.
426
00:26:27,697 --> 00:26:28,899
You will run, right?
427
00:26:28,899 --> 00:26:30,033
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
428
00:26:30,033 --> 00:26:31,801
So I was gonna see
if I could maybe help you do something
429
00:26:31,801 --> 00:26:33,370
and have you help me lift it off.
430
00:26:33,370 --> 00:26:34,437
Yeah, I think I could.
431
00:26:34,437 --> 00:26:36,439
One of your booms, you know,
with one of your logging trucks.
432
00:26:36,439 --> 00:26:38,041
Yeah, I got the logging truck.
I could try it.
433
00:26:38,041 --> 00:26:40,143
Cool. And then whatever you want me to do,
I'll just, you know,
434
00:26:40,143 --> 00:26:42,078
- trade you hours, and...
- Yeah.
435
00:26:42,078 --> 00:26:44,481
Maybe I'll let you cut a little firewood.
436
00:26:44,481 --> 00:26:45,649
You're the guy I needed, man.
437
00:26:45,649 --> 00:26:47,450
- All right. Yup.
- Thanks, Randy.
438
00:26:49,486 --> 00:26:51,988
Out here on Beaver Island,
439
00:26:51,988 --> 00:26:56,293
there's a code amongst locals
to always offer something
440
00:26:56,293 --> 00:26:58,662
when asking for anything in return.
441
00:26:59,396 --> 00:27:02,699
Manpower is often used as currency.
442
00:27:02,699 --> 00:27:05,735
So, Dan will aid in Randy's storm cleanup
443
00:27:05,735 --> 00:27:08,505
before they tend to Dan's damaged truck.
444
00:27:09,673 --> 00:27:11,308
It's nice to be able to repay the favor,
445
00:27:11,308 --> 00:27:14,311
and, you know, help him get his
firewood and whatever, you know,
446
00:27:14,311 --> 00:27:15,478
he needs done.
447
00:27:44,407 --> 00:27:47,277
Well, Randy is pretty much
the only logger left on the island.
448
00:27:47,277 --> 00:27:48,945
Twenty-some years on here.
449
00:27:49,579 --> 00:27:51,047
I heard there was a job up here.
450
00:27:51,047 --> 00:27:53,550
The guy was kind of...
He just got into an accident.
451
00:27:53,550 --> 00:27:56,720
He had half his foot taken off from a log.
452
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,622
So he couldn't do much.
453
00:27:58,622 --> 00:28:01,591
So, I was his only cutter for a while.
454
00:28:01,591 --> 00:28:02,659
I wasn't very good.
455
00:28:02,659 --> 00:28:06,897
I wasn't very fast,
but at least I... I kept going.
456
00:28:06,897 --> 00:28:08,531
I wouldn't give up.
457
00:28:08,531 --> 00:28:10,166
Learned a lot in 20 some years.
458
00:28:11,968 --> 00:28:13,136
That's a nice trailer, man.
459
00:28:13,136 --> 00:28:14,738
It is. I like it.
460
00:28:16,573 --> 00:28:19,576
These fallen trees
will help Randy heat his cabin
461
00:28:19,576 --> 00:28:21,811
in the months to come.
462
00:28:21,811 --> 00:28:24,514
And after lending a hand here,
463
00:28:24,514 --> 00:28:27,717
Dan has earned Randy's help in return.
464
00:28:29,886 --> 00:28:31,254
Let's go fix the truck.
465
00:28:59,115 --> 00:29:02,519
In Onion Creek,
Doc's recovering from an illness
466
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:05,222
with the help of Jeanny's
natural remedies.
467
00:29:07,290 --> 00:29:10,560
For the past six hours,
they've been hunkered down inside
468
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,631
their 10 foot-by-10 foot tree house
to recuperate.
469
00:29:14,631 --> 00:29:15,799
Give me a kiss. I love you.
470
00:29:38,021 --> 00:29:43,126
My stomach is killing me,
and I can't sleep.
471
00:29:43,126 --> 00:29:45,295
I need to get back into... Into the game.
472
00:29:51,301 --> 00:29:54,504
Being sick kind of proves
the point that it's good
473
00:29:54,504 --> 00:29:57,307
not to do this solo and by yourself.
474
00:29:57,307 --> 00:29:59,676
You need somebody to lean on.
475
00:29:59,676 --> 00:30:00,877
Jeanny is my kickstand.
476
00:30:03,146 --> 00:30:04,814
I rely heavily on Jeanny for...
477
00:30:04,814 --> 00:30:07,551
For the knowledge
of the plants and the herbs.
478
00:30:07,551 --> 00:30:09,719
And I have to trust her,
trust her knowledge.
479
00:30:10,387 --> 00:30:13,089
I'm a little better,
I'm standing a little stronger,
480
00:30:13,089 --> 00:30:15,492
I think I'm doing something right.
481
00:30:16,526 --> 00:30:18,295
I think we're doing something right.
482
00:30:23,133 --> 00:30:24,634
Cannot sleep.
483
00:30:36,913 --> 00:30:40,083
This is toilet paper
so to speak, squatting paper.
484
00:30:41,818 --> 00:30:45,522
We might not be using this
for a day or two.
485
00:30:45,522 --> 00:30:49,693
In the Clearwater Mountains,
Bear Claw, Han and Conan
486
00:30:49,693 --> 00:30:52,395
are more than halfway
to the big cedar woods,
487
00:30:52,395 --> 00:30:55,832
a journey to celebrate
Bear Claw's 60th birthday.
488
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,134
Whiskey.
489
00:30:58,134 --> 00:31:00,370
Today their pack horse, Yuma,
490
00:31:00,370 --> 00:31:03,473
faced near-disaster on the trail.
491
00:31:03,473 --> 00:31:08,144
So, this evening, expert horse trainer
Conan will take an opportunity
492
00:31:08,144 --> 00:31:12,782
to work with his horse and prepare him
for whatever lies ahead.
493
00:31:13,483 --> 00:31:15,218
I've been
teaching this Mohawk horse
494
00:31:15,218 --> 00:31:17,487
to lay down for a while.
495
00:31:17,487 --> 00:31:20,023
I like to do it every once in a while
in different locations,
496
00:31:20,023 --> 00:31:21,258
so he just gets used to it.
497
00:31:21,258 --> 00:31:22,893
He's getting pretty good at it.
498
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,629
Give me your foot.
499
00:31:25,629 --> 00:31:27,330
Come on.
500
00:31:27,330 --> 00:31:28,431
Lean back.
501
00:31:28,431 --> 00:31:30,867
Good boy. Good boy.
502
00:31:32,235 --> 00:31:34,871
Come on. Good boy.
503
00:31:36,406 --> 00:31:37,807
Good boy.
504
00:31:38,775 --> 00:31:40,677
Good boy.
505
00:31:40,677 --> 00:31:41,745
No.
506
00:31:42,679 --> 00:31:43,980
Whoa Hey!
507
00:31:44,848 --> 00:31:46,683
Whoa, good boy. Oh!
508
00:31:47,083 --> 00:31:49,986
Good boy, yeah.
509
00:32:04,234 --> 00:32:06,469
The bell
is to help me sleep at night.
510
00:32:06,469 --> 00:32:11,207
And what it is,
is I'll hear him where he's at.
511
00:32:12,642 --> 00:32:14,244
And I'll wake up during the night.
512
00:32:20,183 --> 00:32:23,787
{\an8}A horse is the best thing
for the inside of a man.
513
00:32:25,589 --> 00:32:27,824
{\an8}It is an old saying.
514
00:32:27,824 --> 00:32:29,392
An old cowboy saying.
515
00:32:31,728 --> 00:32:35,565
You throw a saddle on a horse,
you climb on a horse
516
00:32:36,533 --> 00:32:39,836
and no matter what's going on
in the world, it totally disappears.
517
00:32:41,304 --> 00:32:45,008
And all you do is ride away
and think of your family,
518
00:32:45,008 --> 00:32:48,411
and think of your friends,
and think of who takes care of us,
519
00:32:48,411 --> 00:32:51,114
and that's a great life.
520
00:33:07,163 --> 00:33:08,798
Oh, yeah.
521
00:33:08,798 --> 00:33:10,367
- See what I got?
- Yeah.
522
00:33:12,702 --> 00:33:14,037
I see your problem.
523
00:33:15,238 --> 00:33:17,040
You shouldn't have parked
underneath that tree.
524
00:33:20,176 --> 00:33:23,046
Outside the grid on Beaver Island,
525
00:33:23,046 --> 00:33:26,650
Dan Burton has helped his friend Randy
deal with property damage
526
00:33:26,650 --> 00:33:28,852
in the wake of a storm.
527
00:33:28,852 --> 00:33:32,856
Now, to repay the favor,
Randy will help try to remove
528
00:33:32,856 --> 00:33:35,992
a fallen tree from Dan's truck.
529
00:33:35,992 --> 00:33:37,060
See if it'll start.
530
00:33:40,263 --> 00:33:41,565
- Aw, cool.
- Whew!
531
00:33:41,565 --> 00:33:43,233
All right. All right,
I'm gonna lift it up.
532
00:33:43,233 --> 00:33:45,969
When you see that coming up,
get the hell outta there, all right?
533
00:33:45,969 --> 00:33:47,571
- You got it, man.
- Okay.
534
00:33:49,739 --> 00:33:51,408
Well, I'm a little nervous.
535
00:33:51,408 --> 00:33:54,244
I've seen these things slip up
outta these clutches before.
536
00:33:54,244 --> 00:33:56,313
So I ain't gonna be here long.
537
00:34:15,398 --> 00:34:16,700
Go, go, go!
538
00:34:21,805 --> 00:34:22,872
All right.
539
00:34:28,645 --> 00:34:31,481
Whew! Nice job, Randy!
540
00:34:32,949 --> 00:34:35,118
- Thanks, Randy.
- No problem.
541
00:34:35,118 --> 00:34:37,320
What are you gonna do with this tree now?
542
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,822
Cut it up for firewood, probably.
543
00:34:49,799 --> 00:34:51,334
In most locations, you know,
544
00:34:51,334 --> 00:34:53,670
where you have access
to salvage yards and things,
545
00:34:53,670 --> 00:34:56,706
you wouldn't even put money
into a truck like this.
546
00:34:56,706 --> 00:34:59,442
But on Beaver Island,
a truck like this has got, hopefully,
547
00:34:59,442 --> 00:35:01,344
you know, another 100,000 miles to go.
548
00:35:01,344 --> 00:35:02,679
It's just too valuable to throw out.
549
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:05,248
Somebody you know is gonna need it,
or you might need it yourself.
550
00:35:06,650 --> 00:35:09,386
This was off a truck that
I originally brought to Beaver Island.
551
00:35:09,386 --> 00:35:12,222
The truck's long gone,
but the topper's gonna be used again.
552
00:35:14,291 --> 00:35:15,792
Build a little truck camper.
553
00:35:20,397 --> 00:35:22,132
It's gonna be nice
having a roof over my head.
554
00:35:22,132 --> 00:35:24,234
This is gonna be used for a long time.
555
00:35:40,884 --> 00:35:43,386
{\an8}Yeah, let me grab my gun over here.
556
00:35:43,386 --> 00:35:44,788
{\an8}Good to go.
557
00:35:50,293 --> 00:35:51,928
In the Ozark Mountains,
558
00:35:51,928 --> 00:35:56,299
Joe Ray has reemerged from below the grid
after a 12-hour wait
559
00:35:56,299 --> 00:35:58,768
to reunite with Leo and investigate
560
00:35:58,768 --> 00:36:02,305
the snares they set
for feral hogs in the area.
561
00:36:06,576 --> 00:36:08,478
Damn, looks like
we've had some success.
562
00:36:08,478 --> 00:36:09,546
I mean!
563
00:36:12,148 --> 00:36:14,584
We got a sow. Hey, wait, wait,
something is still moving up there. Look.
564
00:36:14,584 --> 00:36:16,353
And we got a little one, too.
565
00:36:16,353 --> 00:36:19,055
Little fellow up there
is grunting and growling.
566
00:36:19,055 --> 00:36:22,292
- I think we ought to let it go.
- All righty, then.
567
00:36:22,292 --> 00:36:23,660
It'll, uh, grow up.
568
00:36:23,660 --> 00:36:25,195
His mama will be plenty of meat for us
for a while.
569
00:36:25,195 --> 00:36:26,363
You betcha.
570
00:36:26,363 --> 00:36:27,430
He'll get a little bigger
571
00:36:27,430 --> 00:36:29,633
and we'll have
a little more meat next time.
572
00:36:31,034 --> 00:36:32,269
Let's go!
573
00:36:44,548 --> 00:36:46,883
We want to thank the good Lord
and Mother Nature.
574
00:36:47,951 --> 00:36:50,153
You'll be feeding us.
It wasn't for a lost cause.
575
00:36:50,153 --> 00:36:52,289
We're not gonna waste any of ya,
that's it.
576
00:36:55,458 --> 00:36:58,395
I think we can get that rope
around that elm tree right there.
577
00:37:00,530 --> 00:37:01,698
Nicely done.
578
00:37:05,535 --> 00:37:06,870
She's a big one.
579
00:37:06,870 --> 00:37:08,805
Dang betcha. That's gonna be good.
580
00:37:09,873 --> 00:37:10,874
Tired as hell.
581
00:37:15,345 --> 00:37:16,780
Well, the work starts now.
582
00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:18,315
Yes, it does.
583
00:37:26,723 --> 00:37:28,325
In the Ozark Mountains,
584
00:37:28,325 --> 00:37:33,863
Joe Ray and Leo have managed
to trap a 200-pound feral hog.
585
00:37:33,863 --> 00:37:36,600
They must work quickly
to process the animal,
586
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,502
to ensure nothing goes to waste.
587
00:37:39,502 --> 00:37:41,838
A lot of people might wonder
why I'm not helping him.
588
00:37:41,838 --> 00:37:44,808
Sometimes it's better with only
one person slinging a knife.
589
00:37:44,808 --> 00:37:47,143
That's right. Somebody...
Somebody will get cut.
590
00:37:47,143 --> 00:37:48,912
One person slinging a knife is enough.
591
00:37:48,912 --> 00:37:50,947
That's plenty.
592
00:37:50,947 --> 00:37:53,016
This is the part
that can make you or break you.
593
00:37:53,016 --> 00:37:54,184
There you go.
594
00:37:54,184 --> 00:37:56,019
As long as you
don't bust that intestine,
595
00:37:56,019 --> 00:37:57,420
- you're doing pretty good.
- Yeah.
596
00:37:59,322 --> 00:38:01,324
- These intestines here.
- Yeah.
597
00:38:01,324 --> 00:38:03,460
When they made sausage,
that's what they used to use.
598
00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:05,896
Yeah. For the original casings.
599
00:38:05,896 --> 00:38:08,064
Yeah, the original casings.
600
00:38:08,431 --> 00:38:10,300
This is your good frying stuff right here.
601
00:38:10,433 --> 00:38:12,702
This is the tenderest part of a pig.
602
00:38:13,603 --> 00:38:15,071
The inner loins.
603
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,910
That'll be that'll be good table fare
right there.
604
00:38:20,610 --> 00:38:22,779
It's a nice ham right there.
605
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:32,522
Not a bad day of hunting.
606
00:38:32,522 --> 00:38:34,824
Yeah, this is a good day.
607
00:38:39,896 --> 00:38:43,833
Joe and Leo split
the meat 50/50 and part ways.
608
00:38:46,236 --> 00:38:51,341
After drying his share, Joe will have
enough protein to last a month.
609
00:38:51,341 --> 00:38:53,910
But whenever Joe takes a hog,
610
00:38:53,910 --> 00:38:56,513
he always uses every part of the animal,
611
00:38:56,513 --> 00:38:58,315
including the fat.
612
00:38:59,182 --> 00:39:01,117
We'll take our cans.
613
00:39:01,117 --> 00:39:04,487
The, uh, wick for these
is really super easy.
614
00:39:04,487 --> 00:39:07,357
Using, a, uh, some old shoestrings here.
615
00:39:08,124 --> 00:39:10,193
These have about set up.
I'm fixin' to take 'em back
616
00:39:10,193 --> 00:39:12,562
and distribute 'em through the cave here.
617
00:39:14,064 --> 00:39:15,599
Off we go, folks.
618
00:39:24,574 --> 00:39:27,611
I got a lot of meat to eat
and, uh, Leo got some meat
619
00:39:27,611 --> 00:39:30,680
and, uh, I've got light.
What more can I ask for?
620
00:39:32,182 --> 00:39:34,317
It will all turn around
and come back to you.
621
00:39:35,752 --> 00:39:40,056
You treat the Earth right,
and, uh, it'll treat you right, too.
622
00:40:05,015 --> 00:40:06,082
Hey, sweetie?
623
00:40:06,082 --> 00:40:07,751
What?
624
00:40:08,785 --> 00:40:09,853
Come here.
625
00:40:12,188 --> 00:40:14,758
Above the grid in Onion Creek,
626
00:40:14,758 --> 00:40:17,294
Doc Leverett is finally on the mend
627
00:40:17,294 --> 00:40:20,630
after 36 hours battling illness.
628
00:40:20,630 --> 00:40:22,065
Hurry, before it's gone.
629
00:40:22,065 --> 00:40:23,934
Before what's gone?
630
00:40:23,934 --> 00:40:25,669
- Come on!
- What?
631
00:40:25,669 --> 00:40:27,904
Come hither, woman.
632
00:40:27,904 --> 00:40:31,341
Sit down, sit down.
633
00:40:31,341 --> 00:40:32,842
Plant thy ass.
634
00:40:35,912 --> 00:40:37,013
Look before that's gone.
635
00:40:40,951 --> 00:40:42,986
Thanks.
636
00:40:42,986 --> 00:40:44,621
To?
637
00:40:44,621 --> 00:40:45,755
To you.
638
00:40:45,755 --> 00:40:47,157
Yeah, I know, right?
639
00:40:48,225 --> 00:40:50,260
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
640
00:40:50,260 --> 00:40:52,128
Much, much appreciated.
641
00:40:52,229 --> 00:40:53,797
I should be sick more often.
642
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:58,468
Makes you wonder
what people are doing
643
00:40:58,468 --> 00:41:00,303
on the other side of there, huh?
644
00:41:00,303 --> 00:41:02,372
The world could've ended. We'd never know.
645
00:41:02,839 --> 00:41:05,208
Hmm. Yeah.
646
00:41:30,500 --> 00:41:31,935
Easy, baby.
647
00:41:31,935 --> 00:41:35,872
In the Clearwater Mountains,
Bear Claw, Han and Conan
648
00:41:35,872 --> 00:41:41,511
have covered over 60 miles on horseback
to celebrate Bear Claw's 60th birthday.
649
00:41:41,511 --> 00:41:45,615
Their destination is Bear Claw's
favorite place on Earth,
650
00:41:45,615 --> 00:41:48,251
the big cedar woods, just ahead.
651
00:41:53,056 --> 00:41:54,724
There they are.
652
00:41:54,724 --> 00:41:56,459
The start of the big ones.
653
00:41:56,893 --> 00:42:00,096
Best oxygen in the world,
under these cedars.
654
00:42:00,096 --> 00:42:02,599
You notice they're getting bigger,
and bigger around,
655
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:05,068
and my blood's starting to boil.
656
00:42:05,068 --> 00:42:07,604
Look at ol' great grandpa over there.
657
00:42:07,604 --> 00:42:12,475
Man, is that a beautiful tree,
or is that a beautiful tree?
658
00:42:12,475 --> 00:42:14,177
Yeah, it is.
659
00:42:14,578 --> 00:42:17,948
Reaching over 150 feet high,
660
00:42:17,948 --> 00:42:22,953
these massive cedars are believed to be
over 1,000 years old.
661
00:42:22,953 --> 00:42:25,622
When Bear Claw first
left Wisconsin behind,
662
00:42:25,622 --> 00:42:28,992
he took shelter here
within this ancient forest.
663
00:42:31,528 --> 00:42:33,964
We're here, buddy. Oh.
664
00:42:38,969 --> 00:42:40,604
Hey, buddy boy.
665
00:42:41,972 --> 00:42:43,673
It's absolutely amazing.
666
00:42:44,975 --> 00:42:47,811
You can't imagine it
until you get here, you know?
667
00:42:47,811 --> 00:42:49,512
It's nice to be back.
668
00:42:49,512 --> 00:42:52,082
Makes me feel
like a little kid again.
669
00:42:52,082 --> 00:42:54,818
I had a grand plan when I was a kid,
670
00:42:54,818 --> 00:42:57,854
but you guys put the final pieces
of the puzzle together
671
00:42:57,854 --> 00:43:01,424
in my life to make me
as happy as possible.
672
00:43:03,126 --> 00:43:04,995
I'm living my dream.
673
00:43:05,362 --> 00:43:08,665
This is a place that I
have always searched for.
674
00:43:08,665 --> 00:43:11,101
I didn't know it existed.
675
00:43:11,101 --> 00:43:14,037
I didn't know
I'd get this far on that journey.
676
00:43:14,037 --> 00:43:16,273
On the edge of civilization,
677
00:43:16,273 --> 00:43:21,344
dreams are sometimes fulfilled
in the most unlikely of places.
678
00:43:21,344 --> 00:43:23,780
Kind of wanting to be that guy
in Jeremiah Johnson
679
00:43:23,780 --> 00:43:25,849
- called Bear Claw, wasn't it?
- Absolutely.
680
00:43:25,849 --> 00:43:27,517
- Yeah.
- Absolutely.
681
00:43:27,517 --> 00:43:30,153
Pretty well
hit that nail on the head, didn't ya?
682
00:43:32,455 --> 00:43:34,057
Though the unexpected
683
00:43:34,057 --> 00:43:37,994
often tests grit and resolve
along the way.
684
00:43:38,728 --> 00:43:40,830
It's gonna be nice
having a roof over my head.
685
00:43:41,765 --> 00:43:43,700
Twenty-five more years?
Twenty-five more years.
686
00:43:44,568 --> 00:43:48,505
{\an8}At the end of the day,
success makes the journey
687
00:43:48,505 --> 00:43:53,310
{\an8}more worthwhile and the reward
that much sweeter to savor.
688
00:43:54,044 --> 00:43:57,247
{\an8}You know the other day
I had a whole can of seasoning salt
689
00:43:57,247 --> 00:44:00,917
{\an8}break loose in my pocket?
690
00:44:00,917 --> 00:44:02,118
{\an8}Might as well.
691
00:44:02,118 --> 00:44:03,286
{\an8}Now, that looks better, don't it?
692
00:44:03,286 --> 00:44:04,621
{\an8}Oh, yeah.
693
00:44:04,621 --> 00:44:06,823
{\an8}- To the hunt, my friend.
- Absolutely.
694
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,596
{\an8}Aren't you glad I lose stuff
in my pockets all the time?
695
00:44:12,596 --> 00:44:14,698
{\an8} Yeah.
