3
00:00:21,231 --> 00:00:24,434
You know, back when
I was makin' foldin' money, yeah,
4
00:00:24,434 --> 00:00:26,770
I, uh... I did enjoy that.
5
00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:30,373
But bein' a slave to society, you know,
6
00:00:30,373 --> 00:00:33,043
there's important things in
this world, food, and shelter,
7
00:00:33,043 --> 00:00:34,411
and family, and good friends.
8
00:00:34,411 --> 00:00:37,280
And, you know, it's not how much you make,
9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,149
it's how much you spend,
10
00:00:39,149 --> 00:00:43,186
and I don't miss
all that folding money at all.
11
00:00:43,186 --> 00:00:46,156
As long as me and the dogs
and the horses are all fed and warm
12
00:00:46,156 --> 00:00:49,659
and got what we need, that's...
And I got powder and lead
13
00:00:49,659 --> 00:00:53,263
and a striker and a flint
and a good knife,
14
00:00:53,263 --> 00:00:56,433
and those are the comforts
of this world to me.
15
00:00:58,702 --> 00:01:00,337
MADSEN: In the age of technology,
16
00:01:00,337 --> 00:01:03,907
the electrical grid is expanding,
17
00:01:03,907 --> 00:01:07,077
and the world is getting smaller.
18
00:01:07,077 --> 00:01:11,147
For some, finding peace of mind
means hiding out
19
00:01:12,015 --> 00:01:13,516
where no one thinks to look.
20
00:01:14,851 --> 00:01:19,022
To escape, they redefine "off the grid."
21
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:33,103
{\an8}RAY: There's new stuff to see
every time you come in here.
22
00:01:33,103 --> 00:01:36,006
{\an8}It's like bein' a kid in
a candy store, really.
23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,675
{\an8}Every time you come in or go out,
24
00:01:38,675 --> 00:01:40,744
{\an8}you're looking at things
from a different direction,
25
00:01:40,744 --> 00:01:43,280
{\an8}and you always see something new.
26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,282
{\an8}Low here, fellas, real low.
27
00:01:48,018 --> 00:01:52,756
MADSEN: For nearly two years,
Joe Ray has made his home below the grid,
28
00:01:52,756 --> 00:01:56,092
in the Ozark Mountains
of North Central Arkansas.
29
00:01:56,927 --> 00:01:58,461
RAY: This is it.
30
00:01:58,461 --> 00:02:00,964
MADSEN: Living almost
entirely underground,
31
00:02:01,498 --> 00:02:05,569
Joe utilizes caves for shelter,
and he strategically stashes
32
00:02:05,569 --> 00:02:08,338
food and supplies throughout the tunnels.
33
00:02:10,073 --> 00:02:12,542
Whoo, come down here
to get me a little bite to eat
34
00:02:12,542 --> 00:02:15,011
before I get on back to bein' busy.
35
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,281
Gotta have some jerky.
36
00:02:18,281 --> 00:02:21,418
This stuff here gives me good energy
and keeps me goin'.
37
00:02:21,418 --> 00:02:23,053
I'm almost out of it.
38
00:02:25,889 --> 00:02:26,923
In this cave, you know,
39
00:02:26,923 --> 00:02:28,925
I mean, the temperature stays
so right in here.
40
00:02:28,925 --> 00:02:30,260
It doesn't ever get hot.
41
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:32,329
It always stays in the 60s.
42
00:02:32,329 --> 00:02:35,832
So that sort of will let meats
hang a little longer.
43
00:02:35,832 --> 00:02:37,334
I make my own jerky here.
44
00:02:37,334 --> 00:02:41,338
So, this is one way that I know
I'll always have meat supply,
45
00:02:41,338 --> 00:02:43,406
because the jerky will last me forever
46
00:02:43,406 --> 00:02:46,543
as long as I keep it in an
airtight, semi-airtight thing.
47
00:02:46,543 --> 00:02:48,879
Moisture in here will degrade it,
but like I say,
48
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,248
I can airtight it,
and I can keep it for a while.
49
00:02:51,248 --> 00:02:53,149
But this is all I got left, but...
50
00:02:55,318 --> 00:02:57,187
I'm gonna need to be goin',
fillin' that up.
51
00:02:57,187 --> 00:02:58,922
My rice supply is gettin' low.
52
00:02:58,922 --> 00:03:01,191
I'm out of beans completely.
53
00:03:01,191 --> 00:03:03,860
Head out and see if I can find me
some fresh meat to eat.
54
00:03:16,306 --> 00:03:20,010
I'll just have to see what moves
when I'm out runnin' around,
55
00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:22,045
what I can stir up.
56
00:03:44,734 --> 00:03:46,469
BEAR CLAW: Goodness gracious.
57
00:03:46,469 --> 00:03:49,806
Well, I don't see any date on this.
58
00:03:50,907 --> 00:03:53,743
Chuck, Todd, Stan, Jane,
Stewart, Shamrelle, Loretta,
59
00:03:53,743 --> 00:03:57,113
Trisha and Bear Claw,
the little guy on the end.
60
00:03:58,648 --> 00:04:01,251
We have just got ready for church,
61
00:04:01,251 --> 00:04:04,054
and we're standin' in the driveway
by our old farmhouse,
62
00:04:04,054 --> 00:04:07,157
and my mom called me her baby, and I was.
63
00:04:07,157 --> 00:04:08,825
(LAUGHS)
64
00:04:08,825 --> 00:04:11,695
My brother, Stewart,
it always drove him crazy.
65
00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:17,767
MADSEN: In the Clearwater Mountains
just after sunrise,
66
00:04:17,767 --> 00:04:21,204
Bear Claw is looking back
on the road that led him here.
67
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:26,576
Today, he's celebrating his 60th birthday,
68
00:04:26,576 --> 00:04:29,613
his 10th beyond the grid.
69
00:04:29,613 --> 00:04:33,083
BEAR CLAW: I celebrate my birthday
in the spring now.
70
00:04:33,083 --> 00:04:36,820
You gotta live through winter
to make it worthwhile.
71
00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:38,889
So, I count winters.
72
00:04:40,290 --> 00:04:42,025
MADSEN: To mark the occasion,
73
00:04:42,025 --> 00:04:46,663
today he'll embark on a 65-mile pack trip
with his best friends
74
00:04:46,663 --> 00:04:48,899
to his favorite place on Earth,
75
00:04:48,899 --> 00:04:53,203
the big cedar woods of Eldorado Creek
in Western Idaho.
76
00:04:54,938 --> 00:04:57,073
BEAR CLAW: Well, today's the day.
77
00:04:57,073 --> 00:05:00,477
Wakin' up this morning, knowing that
I'm headed out for a pack trip.
78
00:05:00,477 --> 00:05:01,711
This is what I live for.
79
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:05,682
There's nothing more I would rather do.
80
00:05:07,817 --> 00:05:10,820
CONAN: I'm glad you showed up.
It's about time for a break.
81
00:05:10,820 --> 00:05:12,689
BEAR CLAW: You know,
every time I come over here,
82
00:05:12,689 --> 00:05:16,092
you're bent over a horse
or riding in circles.
83
00:05:16,092 --> 00:05:17,193
Imagine that.
84
00:05:17,193 --> 00:05:20,297
CONAN: That sounds about right.
85
00:05:20,297 --> 00:05:21,398
How's it going, buddy?
86
00:05:21,398 --> 00:05:23,400
BEAR CLAW: Dang good, how about you?
87
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,467
CONAN: Pretty good. Watch out.
88
00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:25,902
That horse is scared of grass, man.
89
00:05:25,902 --> 00:05:27,637
BEAR CLAW: That's good. Imagine that.
90
00:05:27,637 --> 00:05:28,738
He'd probably run off.
91
00:05:28,738 --> 00:05:30,941
He'd probably... (CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
92
00:05:30,941 --> 00:05:32,776
- Yeah, it's good to see you.
- How was the ride?
93
00:05:32,776 --> 00:05:34,411
Oh, man, it was great.
94
00:05:34,411 --> 00:05:36,246
You ready to go on a little adventure?
95
00:05:36,246 --> 00:05:38,114
- Yeah.
- Head for the high country?
96
00:05:38,114 --> 00:05:39,416
Yeah, I gotta put
some shoes on the fronts,
97
00:05:39,416 --> 00:05:40,850
at least, and then we'll roll.
98
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:42,185
Good. Good.
99
00:05:51,962 --> 00:05:54,798
CONAN: We're goin' up Eldorado,
is that right?
100
00:05:54,798 --> 00:05:56,099
BEAR CLAW: That's the plan.
101
00:05:56,099 --> 00:05:57,367
CONAN: I haven't been
up there in a while, either.
102
00:05:57,367 --> 00:06:00,237
It's gonna be interesting to go up there.
I'm excited about it.
103
00:06:00,237 --> 00:06:01,905
BEAR CLAW: Remember
the last time we were up there,
104
00:06:01,905 --> 00:06:03,940
them great big cedar trees?
105
00:06:03,940 --> 00:06:05,108
- CONAN: Yeah.
- BEAR CLAW: Man.
106
00:06:05,108 --> 00:06:07,611
- Yeah, those are huge. They're big cedars.
- Aren't they unbelievable?
107
00:06:07,611 --> 00:06:08,678
CONAN: Yeah.
108
00:06:11,014 --> 00:06:13,216
BEAR CLAW: Them is the biggest
trees I've seen in Idaho.
109
00:06:13,216 --> 00:06:14,551
CONAN: Yup.
110
00:06:25,328 --> 00:06:26,663
BEAR CLAW: All right.
111
00:06:26,663 --> 00:06:27,797
HAN: Hello, Bear Claw.
112
00:06:27,797 --> 00:06:29,432
You are here.
113
00:06:29,432 --> 00:06:30,667
HAN: Well, it's been a while.
114
00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:32,669
Boy, it has been a while.
115
00:06:32,669 --> 00:06:34,571
- How you doing, partner?
- Good!
116
00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:37,374
Boy, it's good to see you.
You're looking good.
117
00:06:37,374 --> 00:06:40,110
Yeah, right. You got a new gun?
118
00:06:40,110 --> 00:06:43,280
Well, it's an old .44.
119
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,082
That's pretty good.
Let me fondle that thing, would you?
120
00:06:46,082 --> 00:06:47,651
I tell you what.
121
00:06:47,651 --> 00:06:50,120
Huh. You know.
122
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,321
They could be brothers.
123
00:06:51,321 --> 00:06:52,455
Uh...
124
00:06:55,859 --> 00:06:59,062
I think they used
more metal back in the day.
125
00:06:59,062 --> 00:07:00,163
HAN: In the old days?
BEAR CLAW: You bet.
126
00:07:00,163 --> 00:07:01,865
Plum good to see you, partner.
127
00:07:02,933 --> 00:07:04,534
HAN: It's been a long time,
been too long.
128
00:07:04,534 --> 00:07:05,602
BEAR CLAW: Yeah.
129
00:07:07,637 --> 00:07:09,706
HAN: You're in charge of the map.
130
00:07:10,106 --> 00:07:13,243
We're gonna ride
the Lewis and Clark Trail right here.
131
00:07:13,243 --> 00:07:16,079
We're gonna go to
the Laurel Creek campground there.
132
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,482
It takes off into
the forest service lands,
133
00:07:19,482 --> 00:07:23,820
and we're gonna go
all the way up to Eldorado Creek.
134
00:07:26,690 --> 00:07:29,759
MADSEN: To reach the big cedars
of Eldorado Creek,
135
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:35,665
it's a 65-mile ride across rugged terrain
and untouched wilderness,
136
00:07:35,665 --> 00:07:40,704
the kind of test Bear Claw's seeking
to mark his 60th birthday.
137
00:07:40,704 --> 00:07:43,006
HAN: Lot of climbing, lot of long days,
138
00:07:43,006 --> 00:07:45,342
jumping creeks, goin' uphill.
139
00:07:46,443 --> 00:07:48,011
BEAR CLAW: My blood's boilin'.
140
00:08:07,764 --> 00:08:10,333
I'm just gonna
tuck these propane tanks away.
141
00:08:10,333 --> 00:08:13,470
I just don't want them to get
blown over or knocked over
142
00:08:13,470 --> 00:08:15,705
or anything like that.
143
00:08:15,705 --> 00:08:17,040
MADSEN: Outside the grid,
144
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,977
Dan Burton is always prepared
to battle the elements.
145
00:08:20,977 --> 00:08:22,746
BURTON: Lake Michigan is no joke.
146
00:08:22,746 --> 00:08:26,016
You know, a storm will roll in
quicker than you think,
147
00:08:26,016 --> 00:08:28,351
so you gotta take precaution.
148
00:08:29,786 --> 00:08:31,655
MADSEN: In the middle of Lake Michigan,
149
00:08:31,655 --> 00:08:36,092
localized storms often bring
high winds and heavy rains
150
00:08:36,092 --> 00:08:38,528
to the Beaver Island archipelago.
151
00:08:40,063 --> 00:08:42,832
There's a chance of, you know,
152
00:08:42,832 --> 00:08:46,169
some heavier weather comin' in,
which, if you look around,
153
00:08:46,169 --> 00:08:49,272
means somethin' from above comin' down.
154
00:08:49,272 --> 00:08:51,641
You can feel it, it's getting breezy.
155
00:08:51,641 --> 00:08:54,778
You know, I've had many a times
where, you know,
156
00:08:54,778 --> 00:08:56,379
it takes a day or two to get out of here,
157
00:08:56,379 --> 00:08:58,248
just because you're dealing
with the aftermath.
158
00:08:59,182 --> 00:09:01,651
Living on an island, living in
a harsh climate is always taking
159
00:09:01,651 --> 00:09:05,655
more work than anywhere else,
but what you give up
160
00:09:05,655 --> 00:09:07,757
and what you gain is worth it.
161
00:09:07,757 --> 00:09:10,026
This kind of life, you know,
livin' in the boonies,
162
00:09:10,026 --> 00:09:13,230
to me it's about, you know,
dreamin' about something simpler
163
00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:15,865
and then be able to say,
you know, "I did it."
164
00:09:15,865 --> 00:09:19,002
The best thing to do, you know,
I mean, as a whole,
165
00:09:19,002 --> 00:09:20,503
is to bunker down, just like anywhere.
166
00:09:20,503 --> 00:09:22,472
You know, treat it like a tornado,
167
00:09:22,472 --> 00:09:25,842
get in the sturdiest room you got
and hold on for dear life.
168
00:09:41,591 --> 00:09:44,427
DOC: I feel like hammered dog... (BLEEP)
169
00:09:48,899 --> 00:09:50,767

No, it's just a pain in my damn stomach.

185
00:10:25,569 --> 00:10:30,006
heading above the grid
in search of health and peace of mind.

Doc suffered from
an array of health issues.

a small stroke at the age of 35.

This is chamomile.

His mind is good, though,
and his love for me is awesome.

This is gonna make him
feel so much better.

I know it sounds really crazy,

is you get some really cold water,
and this is glacier runoff

he's gonna hopefully feel a lot better.

What it does is it promotes circulation,

MADSEN: Today their pack horse, Yuma,
510
00:31:00,370 --> 00:31:03,473
faced near-disaster on the trail.
511
00:31:03,473 --> 00:31:08,144
So, this evening, expert horse trainer
Conan will take an opportunity
512
00:31:08,144 --> 00:31:12,782
to work with his horse and prepare him
for whatever lies ahead.
513
00:31:13,483 --> 00:31:15,218
CONAN: I've been
teaching this Mohawk horse
514
00:31:15,218 --> 00:31:17,487
to lay down for a while.
515
00:31:17,487 --> 00:31:20,023
I like to do it every once in a while
in different locations,
516
00:31:20,023 --> 00:31:21,258
so he just gets used to it.
517
00:31:21,258 --> 00:31:22,893
He's getting pretty good at it.
518
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,629

I've seen these things slip up
outta these clutches before.

What are you gonna do with this tree now?

00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,822
Cut it up for firewood, probably.
566
00:34:49,799 --> 00:34:51,334
In most locations, you know,
567
00:34:51,334 --> 00:34:53,670
where you have access
to salvage yards and things,
568
00:34:53,670 --> 00:34:56,706
you wouldn't even put money
into a truck like this.
569
00:34:56,706 --> 00:34:59,442
But on Beaver Island,
a truck like this has got, hopefully,
570
00:34:59,442 --> 00:35:01,344
you know, another 100,000 miles to go.
571
00:35:01,344 --> 00:35:02,679
It's just too valuable to throw out.

Somebody you know is gonna need it,
or you might need it yourself.

This was off a truck that
I originally brought to Beaver Island.

00:41:53,056 --> 00:41:54,724
CONAN: There they are.
679
00:41:54,724 --> 00:41:56,459
The start of the big ones.
680
00:41:56,893 --> 00:42:00,096
BEAR CLAW: Best oxygen in the world,
under these cedars.
681
00:42:00,096 --> 00:42:02,599
You notice they're getting bigger,
and bigger around,
682
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:05,068
and my blood's starting to boil.
683
00:42:05,068 --> 00:42:07,604
Look at ol' great grandpa over there.
684
00:42:07,604 --> 00:42:12,475
Man, is that a beautiful tree,
or is that a beautiful tree?
685
00:42:12,475 --> 00:42:14,177
CONAN: Yeah, it is.
686
00:42:14,578 --> 00:42:17,948
MADSEN: Reaching over 150 feet high,
687
00:42:17,948 --> 00:42:22,953
these massive cedars are believed to be
over 1,000 years old.
688
00:42:22,953 --> 00:42:25,622
When Bear Claw first
left Wisconsin behind,
689
00:42:25,622 --> 00:42:28,992
he took shelter here
within this ancient forest.
690
00:42:28,992 --> 00:42:31,528
(BEAR CLAW HOWLING)
691
00:42:31,528 --> 00:42:33,964
We're here, buddy. Oh.
692
00:42:38,969 --> 00:42:40,604
Hey, buddy boy.
693
00:42:41,972 --> 00:42:43,673
It's absolutely amazing.
694
00:42:44,975 --> 00:42:47,811
You can't imagine it
until you get here, you know?
695
00:42:47,811 --> 00:42:49,512
It's nice to be back.
696
00:42:49,512 --> 00:42:52,082
BEAR CLAW: Makes me feel
like a little kid again.
697
00:42:52,082 --> 00:42:54,818
I had a grand plan when I was a kid,
698
00:42:54,818 --> 00:42:57,854
but you guys put the final pieces
of the puzzle together
699
00:42:57,854 --> 00:43:01,424
in my life to make me
as happy as possible.
700
00:43:03,126 --> 00:43:04,995
I'm living my dream.
701
00:43:05,362 --> 00:43:08,665
This is a place that I
have always searched for.
702
00:43:08,665 --> 00:43:11,101
I didn't know it existed.
703
00:43:11,101 --> 00:43:14,037
I didn't know
I'd get this far on that journey.
704
00:43:14,037 --> 00:43:16,273
MADSEN: On the edge of civilization,
705
00:43:16,273 --> 00:43:21,344
dreams are sometimes fulfilled
in the most unlikely of places.
706
00:43:21,344 --> 00:43:23,780
Kind of wanting to be that guy
in Jeremiah Johnson
707
00:43:23,780 --> 00:43:25,849
- called Bear Claw, wasn't it?
- Absolutely.
708
00:43:25,849 --> 00:43:27,517
- CONAN: Yeah.
- Absolutely.
709
00:43:27,517 --> 00:43:30,153
CONAN: Pretty well
hit that nail on the head, didn't ya?
710
00:43:32,455 --> 00:43:34,057
MADSEN: Though the unexpected
711
00:43:34,057 --> 00:43:37,994
often tests grit and resolve
along the way.
712
00:43:38,728 --> 00:43:40,830
BURTON: It's gonna be nice
having a roof over my head.
713
00:43:41,765 --> 00:43:43,700
JEANNY: Twenty-five more years?
DOC: Twenty-five more years.
714
00:43:44,568 --> 00:43:48,505
{\an8}MADSEN: At the end of the day,
success makes the journey
715
00:43:48,505 --> 00:43:53,310
{\an8}more worthwhile and the reward
that much sweeter to savor.
716
00:43:54,044 --> 00:43:57,247
{\an8}You know the other day
I had a whole can of seasoning salt
717
00:43:57,247 --> 00:44:00,917
{\an8}- break loose in my pocket?
- (LAUGHING)
718
00:44:00,917 --> 00:44:02,118
{\an8}COX: Might as well.
719
00:44:02,118 --> 00:44:03,286
{\an8}Now, that looks better, don't it?
720
00:44:03,286 --> 00:44:04,621
{\an8}RAY: Oh, yeah.
721
00:44:04,621 --> 00:44:06,823
{\an8}- To the hunt, my friend.
- Absolutely.
722
00:44:06,823 --> 00:44:08,658
{\an8}(RAY LAUGHING)
723
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,596
{\an8}COX: Aren't you glad I lose stuff
in my pockets all the time?
724
00:44:12,596 --> 00:44:14,698
{\an8}RAY: (LAUGHING) Yeah.
