the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
katie bowman ladies and gentlemen move your dna you can find her on twitter
aligned and well
she's friends with rob wolf so she must be cool and you're here what's up how
are you i'm doing
well how are you good i didn't want to talk to you too much before the show
because we were talking
about something that i'm very interested in about how you live in washington
state you found some
clever area where it's in washington but it's not rainy every day you actually
get sun that's true
how'd you do that magic you know i followed my family there my someone else
found the magic and
like how it always happens i decided to go up there too and it's uh you can see
like vancouver and
vancouver island right from where you're at yeah i could row a boat to canada
if i had to if the
hit the fan hit the fan and i got my out well that's what you started talking
about you started
talking about like living off the wild and and that's something that you're
really concerned with
like are you a prepper i'm not i i'm not really concerned with it but it kind
of goes hand in hand
with what i teach about natural movement like i'm trying to put back these
isolated pieces of how you
eat and how you move and how you think and where you spend your time and even
where you spend your money
of going well if we all just kind of go spend a little bit more time out in in
nature um but i
mean more than the park i really mean wild you can see how it's been done for a
long period of time so
trying to figure out how to get more movement goes naturally with trying to
figure out how to acquire
your own food so i thought well i'm a parent of two little kids i have a
limited amount of time so
what if our food acquisition is our movement is our teaching our kids is our
family time is everything
and it's the same hunk of time and we're just out there in the wild i love it
and you're in an area
that's particularly like dense with wilderness with trees with animals and that
whole area the pacific
northwest it's such a when you we're talking about how you come to california
and everything's so dry
it's almost like where's the life but if you go up there there's so much life
it's ridiculous well
i went up there with my friend duncan we were hunting for bigfoot for a tv show
and we went
wandering through the woods but the thing the oops that's my computer sound
wasn't working up until then
we had an issue with you stream this we have a totally new setup so we're in hd
now so you look
lovely in hd um we were uh we just got this new computer and this whole jazz
and we maybe we should
just run the show for like a minute before we go live that's what we'll do next
time but uh anyway
when we went up there like when you're wandering around through the forest up
there the thing that
is so shocking is how many animals there are and how much life there is you see
elk crap everywhere
and all these birds and rodents and just so many so many so much variety of
life up there and that's
the big stuff you can see underneath every footprint there's like one or two
hundred organisms living in
every foot footprint that you take there because it's just it's so deep yeah it's
just dense dense is
it's the densest placed on the planet it is dense of of plant and animal stuffs
yeah and you don't have
to worry about drought up there no that's not this millennia well not like we
do here you know in
california we need 11 trillion gallons of water just to balance out what's been
lost over the last three
years yeah and even more even even more i guess alarming to me is less the the
total water but the amount of
organization amongst people it takes to get it here like that i you know that's
always what i was worried
about failing yeah here yeah the water supply the food supply the
infrastructure the infrastructure
the delivery system because none of it is actually here like like i'm just
thinking of something like
a power outage where so much of your water is dependent on it being cleaned and
all of that is
depends on energy that requires a bunch of people like my my in-laws who live
here in california
their house has been without power for like two weeks and they live in an area
of orange county and
they had to bring a generator they brought a generator into a neighborhood
because they're like well it's
we got to dig for it and frankly we don't have the manpower right now and like
when i start here and
stuff like that that's when i flee to the pacific northwest so that there there's
an issue with their
lines the power lines are down or something like that and so they have to dig
for the lines to put
them back up yeah so they're living like they're camping for two weeks yeah
camping in a very affluent
area in orange county i mean this is like you know a nice neighborhood a really
nice neighborhood
now where you live do you have neighbors i do i mean i have two and a half
acres and but there are
there are some neighbors you know but it's not um within the whole town the
whole town's pretty small
and you can get to a place to see nobody um you know within 10 minutes which i
like yeah that is nice
if you want to get to nobody in 10 minutes but do you i find that like when you're
in small towns
in small areas the real issue is finding a cool small town yeah with a good
sensibility a nice
intelligent small town because you can find some small towns like if you drive
from southern california
up to northern california you can drive through some spots where you have these
giant mitt romney signs
that are still up and there's the you know like weird religious signs and these
strange really sketchy
communities you're like oh you know boy you got a pretty view but these
neighbors yeah it's a retirement
community but you know where you are where i am it's a retirement community
because it was a it used
to be a um a logging town so it's got this waterway there it's next to some
ports and so they've been
moving wood there and milling it up and there's some paper mills but a lot of
that business has shut
down as people are buying stuff from overseas and then of course as the wood is
not being able to be
replenished as fast as they've been taking it down so i think in sunset
magazine somebody wrote an article
about this town that you could buy a few acres and and that it was in this what
they call a rain shadow
so it's in the banana belt it's sunny almost every single day totally different
than any other place
in oregon or washington and you could buy an acre for i don't know if it was
like sixty thousand dollars
or seventy thousand dollars so a whole bunch of people went out there there's
not there's no work or
anything but they bought their homes and they built them up but they're all
kind of dying now
the people the people who originally were there so so it's not that ideal small
kind of funky ideal
town yet but i decided well i can make that happen you are going to make it
happen i can do that pull
people in i'm not really about waiting around for the ideal to happen i'll just
build it from the
ground up go katie i like it there you go and so um this area that you're at do
you take your kids out
fishing you take them out gathering food and all that jazz yeah so it's huge a
huge reservation land
where we are so the salmon is unreal um i live on the dungeness river so all
the crab like all the crab
that you i met here from dungeness that's where it comes from so the the um the
first nation peoples
that live there the food was so abundant like that's all the things like um totem
poles and big dugout
canoes that you see that came about because they didn't have to really worry
about food it's like let's
let's just have elk today let's just sit here until one walks by wait till a
bear just walks by um you
know the berries and the fruit and the wild greens and and then again the fish
you could you know
depending on the time of year just grab one out of the water you know if they're
spawning it's
not hard to eat there so i thought what a great place there's so many elk up
there i took a photograph
of an elk standing in front of a no hunting sign pose because it was like right
right when we were
driving uh these elk were just wandering across the road and they were just
standing in front of this
no hunting sign like this is ridiculous that was the first elk i'd ever seen in
the wild too those
things are huge they're huge yeah like have you ever hit one with your car i
have not no come close
i've been waiting waiting for that to happen they don't seem that bright
they seem smarter than a lot of people i know maybe that shows the the area
that you're living that's true
that's true they're cautious they are yeah they're fleeting there's a little uh
herd of them that
lives in our town they're the mascot of this little town and so there's a herd
and they've got um what
collars around their neck and we've got elk flashing lights so you can collars
they're collars because
they just kind of maybe they are dumb maybe they just kind of stumble across
the freeway every now and
then so they flash up when they're close to the highway on either side as they're
moving back and
forth from the ocean so the collars are like gps collars a collar that that the
government the local
government has fitted them with so that they can kind of track where they're
going to be in light
the sign up when the collar comes close to these signs you know that's where
the elk are so you can
sometimes look up and see the whole herd sitting in the pasture or you know
maybe walking across the
freeway that seems weird you know i feel like i kind of like the idea that you
know they know where
they are but to put a collar on them and be able to track them it seems like
that's not wild anymore
then you're just roaming pets yeah yeah maybe well they're mascots they're wildish
roaming mascots
wildish wildish are you allowed to eat them no no i mean allowed by whom no
well like hunting laws no
no i i don't i don't know if all of them are collared i think maybe just a
couple of the males are
so then no you wouldn't be allowed so when they're collared you can't eat them
you can't shoot them
hmm i don't know they're not they're not really in like hunting areas they're
like in these kind of
like the neighborhoods maybe they're dumb maybe they're totally done well you'd
be amazed at some
areas that you can't hunt in like uh there's an area called evergreen colorado
and one of the
issues that they have is the local laws allow you to essentially hunt in your
backyard if you have
more than like x amount of land it's not much it's like two acres or something
like that i i might be
butchering this law but i remember there was uh some sort of uh um an issue
online people debating
it because people were firing off guns in their backyard like shooting at elk
and and deer and
they're like uh this is kind of up like we're not we're not really in the woods
man like my swing
set is a hundred yards to the right you know so um but they have so many
animals up there it's such
a rich abundance of animals and the people that rely on them for a large part
of their food you know
moderate income or lower income families if they get an elk like boy that is a
year's worth of meat
like you've got a 1300 pound animal you're going to get 400 plus pounds of meat
from that that's 400
meals you know so for a lot of people that is literally a year's worth of meat
for your family
so they'll just shoot that right in the backyard be damned all the swing sets
yeah everybody's
gonna duck for a couple minutes and that's right come on over i'll give you a
ham
i'll trade you the salmon fishing up there must be amazing amazing amazing i
actually went just we're
just going down you know they there's there was a dam up there for a really
long time like a hundred
years that they've just taken down you can actually watch the deconstruction of
this dam over a couple years
and we were walkin
