Joe Rogan Experience #853 - Adam Greentree

with myself five four three two one
now most people in america consider calabasas to be one of the safest places
that's where the
kardashians chose to live not adam greentree not adam greentree lives in australia
surrounded by
brown snakes which kill you like instantly right no not instantly pretty quick
yeah pretty quick
bunch of how many spiders you have that'll kill you instantly like a ton a
hundred a hundred right
you got crocodiles you've you've bathed i've saw the the video of you and cam
haynes in a
puddle that crocodiles swim around in that might have been my idea too but yet
the one day he's in
calabasas which is like the safest place in america untrue but yep well tell me
what happened well so i
hopped out of the hotel first thing this morning to go and try and find a
decent coffee here in america
and uh there's police surrounding the whole the whole area where the the coffee
shop was and um
they had guns drawn and everything and then i heard later that someone actually
had a gun out and there
might have even been shots fired yeah crazy stuff and then i'm like at a coffee
bean yeah yeah it was
had a coffee bean yeah yeah find out what happened jamie see if there's a story
we can i i said it was
probably like some wife mad at her husband yeah it seemed more serious called
in the police he's got
a gun like that that's happened before that happened with uh ron white i think
his girlfriend packed
a gun in his luggage and then that happened with sam kinnison too his
girlfriend packed a loaded gun
in his luggage and then called the police on him oh that's crazy but straight
away i'm like
it's safer in the mountains with the grizzly bears and crap well yes and no
definitely is definitely not
safer if you actually run into a grizzly bear but for the most part it's pretty
peaceful right
yeah most people are worried about grizzly bears but you could be around them
for days and days and
most likely nothing's gonna happen most likely most likely but when you when
you were up there you did
you run into some wolves yeah we seen uh well i seen wolves and then the grizzly
bears the one that
sort of really scared me um i had a handgun out and i actually had to draw that
handgun a few times
while i was up in the mountains yeah there was one real big grizzly like size
11 boots that um coming
around camp and was hunting all the trails around size 11 boots so it's like a
12 foot a 12 inch pad yeah oh my
god yeah how big do you think it was did you see the actual bear itself yeah so
once i actually killed
the bull which was about day 10 or 11 he was sleeping on the carcass about 60
meters from it
he was sleeping on your carcass yeah and then he slept on did he eat some of it
he didn't touch it
what yeah it was like the first day so so i killed that bull in the afternoon
uh packed out a decent
load of meat that night went back in the first morning the next morning to pack
out the rest of the
meat and was going in there looking thinking there could be a bear on the carcass
and sure enough
i seen a bit of brown hair in the creek bottom so he's just sleeping on just
sleeping there and so i
yelled at him he pricked his ears up and had a look around i yelled at him the
second time and he jumped
up and he disappeared like that like scary that's how quick he this is thick
timber a lot of deadfall and
everything and he just disappeared through that and it actually got me thinking
that if you didn't see
a bear coming from a distance handgun bear spray whatever you've got you'd be
in serious trouble
because he just left that scene dead quiet and in a flash they can move so fast
in those pads that
they have on the bottoms of their feet it makes them so silent and quiet yeah
yeah and you would think
that a you know a thousand pound animal wouldn't be able to move that yeah so i'm
strapping meat to my
pack uh obviously there's always a blind spot when you're hunched over and it i
reckon it took me
three times longer to get the meat on my pack because i was just constantly
looking over waiting for
that bear to come back because i haven't actually been to the carcass again yet
i've seen the bear
on the way back in pretty scary how big was it giant big like 11 feet tall yeah
be 11 feet tall yeah scary
and you're alone yeah deep deep deep deep deep deep at the end of the hunt i
was talking to the fishing
game warden in the area and a big grizzly had gone into another hunter's camp
on the mountain and just
absolutely destroyed his camp now i don't know if it was the same bear or a
different bear but on three
brown bear or grizzly come back into my camp and each night that he'd come in
he'd get a little bit
closer so the first night he circled camp about 50 60 meters away the next
night he can't circle camp
about 30 meters away and the third time he came in he come right into the back
of camp like 15 meters
away let out this gnarly growl and at this point my buddy grant hughes has come
in to help me pack out
some meat he's in his tent i'm in my tent when this you hear this bear walking
in through the snow
and lets out a growl i didn't want to go like grant did you hear that or grant
there's a bear in camp i
didn't want to let the bear know that i'm in the tent man i just laid there
dead quiet i had the handgun
sitting on my chest loaded ready to go and um i laid awake for like three hours
like you heard the bear
walk off and i laid awake for three hours and i get up in the morning i'm dude
i'm like dude did you hear
that bear and he's like did i hear the bear holy dude i didn't want to move or
make a sound he had
the same idea as me didn't want to give away his location and i'm like yeah it's
like took me three
hours to get to sleep and he's like sleep you got sleep what the he was like
hell pissed
off man he laid awake all night well you're in like a tent burrito yeah exactly
human burrito even
staying warm in your sleeping bag you know like he's got to be able to smell
you too they must know
you're in there yeah what i wonder if if they were well if they smell you and
then they smell the meat
what they would be more attracted to i don't know i don't recognize smell real
good so hopefully the
meat i bet they like things that don't smell good they probably do yeah meat
was hanging up probably a
good mile from camp at like because we had a few different drop points because
it was such a it was
four days hike out of meat so we had different drop points along the way and i
never wanted to take any
meat in the camp except for what i'd be eating each night which uh cooked meat
might smell pretty good
to a bear but i was more concerned about the scent that we would be carrying on
our boots from meat
site to meat site and then walking back in the camp but that bear had already
been in the camp he knew
where we were and he was doing his rounds obviously every night have you done
an adventure like this
before this is an epic adventure because you went to montana you you know you
parked and then how many miles
did you go deep into the woods it was probably about 12 miles in the end that's
no trails or anything like
that 12 miles in 12 miles into montana yeah i mean that is montana is if you
folks have never visited
montana is one of the most unspoiled parts of america like below alaska but not
far below yeah so you're
already super remote like we're already a long way from anywhere and parked at
a trailhead and then so
obviously i had 11 days solo by myself and then my buddy grant come in to help
me pack that bull out
i end up being 14 days in the end by the time we got the meat out wow yeah it's
cool i've done
done similar adventures because a lot of home back home in australia is all
super remote so
um 90 of it's back country really back home um but it's a different kind of
back country it's a different
sort of back country bears yeah it definitely is this was solo minimal gear
because everything's in
your backpack that you've got for the hunt um so it's super light and you're
cutting down on a lot of
essentials that you need you know just just to get back in there how when you
do this i've been obsessed
with uh lightweight backpacking lately i've been i've been paying attention to
um these guys that do the
appellation trail yep they hike from georgia all the way up to maine it takes
five months that's
insane they're insane but it's one of those things there's a real problem with
the human brain it's
like we were talking about our pal cam haynes in this uh 200 mile run he just
did and when then
there's a challenge in front of you and you find out that someone has done it
before you start going
man maybe i could do 200 miles he's like there's something up about people's
brains where
when you find that someone's doing something like i have zero desire to take
five months out of my
life and walk from georgia to maine yeah but i bet you once you got it done
that's the difference
well part of my brain was like hmm i started thinking about it and then like
shut up stupid you're not
fucking hiking to maine stop it but part of me was like listening to this guy
um it was on uh the
rich outdoors you've done rich's podcast for his podcast one of his buddies is
a uh a trail guy and
they were talking about like lightweight gear and how they can't they pack the
difference between what
a guy uses for hunting and what someone uses for uh like just these long long
long long hikes where
they essentially wear the same clothes for five months that sounds hygienic
yeah it doesn't well i mean
i guess you maybe get a chance occasionally to wash them somewhere but they
everything is like the
lightest possible stuff that you could have and when you do this so if you're
going to go out there
and you're you know you're planning on how many days 15. i wanted to do at
least half the month in
montana and i wanted to do the other half of the month in idaho so 15 days and
a little bit of the
trip's got to be unprepared in a sense when you're doing 15 days it that sort
of hunt because the
the country's like straight up and down there's there's no other way to do it
there's no i'm going
to drive to the ridge line or i'm going to walk a decent trail to the ridge
line or take an atv and
it's just all on foot straight up and down country so and and to have a little
bit of roughness to
a trip like that you know where you are roughing it that's that's a bit of the
appeal as well you
know and the experience in doing it so um i was just talking with with the guys
at hoyt and they were
asking um what's the essentials that you had in your pack that you wouldn't go
without and i'm like well
how about i tell you about the stuff that i wish i had in my pack and that i
didn't go without like
what stuff do you wish i didn't i didn't take any rain gear in what i didn't
take any rain gear in
and i didn't check the weather before i went in deliberately because i didn't
want any deterrent
on the trip like oh it's going to snow or it's going to hail or there's going
to be gale force
winds i shouldn't go in today or i should pack this extra i just i wanted to
ignore all that just go in
just live in the wilderness basically with the minimal and um i got all that
weather i got hail three
times i got gale force winds i got rain followed by snow so soaking wet then
freezing cold and you just
had to stay active the whole time like i'd literally get to a mountain and i'd
sit down for two minutes
and you'd go from to sweating to freezing cold because you're wet and actually
hike the mountain just to
get warm were you wearing wool nah all synthetics so synthetics in some in some
cases it's uh harder to
maintain your body temperature yeah when you sweat there's pros and perks to
both yeah so
like i've got a synthetic sleeping bag as well it weighs a little bit more but
i could jump in that
sleeping bag wet at night and wake up in the morning and dry that's that's a
little bit of the difference
and it will dry out the next day and uh it doesn't get never carries any weig
