Joe Rogan Experience #2059 — Adam Greentree Transcript

Transcript

0:00 the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day Wow. one stage i just felt like i was in the war and i actually slipped between two fallen down trees You didn't know what it means right so i went between the two of them and normally body weight come over the top of it and then yeah like i just remember i like least bruise the bones because it was hard

2:39 because of the winter kill. You know, people don't like the idea of hunting wolves and i get that mountain lions it's not like anybody wants to eradicate those things, but reintroducing wolves, So, because I've been on a few hunts now where you don't feel comfortable shooting an elk because you're not seeing any hunters go in sort of pushes them out so it's a little bit hard to say but yeah you don't feel

5:56 and you've got guys, and this is what happened this trip, think you've got an animal figured out like fuck think again you know like and and that's i think Yeah. everywhere and stuff like that but because i've done these hard hunts now it's like i can't go Yeah, you'd have to. No, I don't. Yeah. whereas i come over from australia and i'm just like i've got 30 days right so you know and that's

9:34 out something about yourself yeah i've got no interest in climbing mount everest and i've said Yeah, there's like one selfie at the top and then you're coming back down. There's stags everywhere. Which is nice. And so they're chopper shooting them. Yeah, yeah. Are they talking about it because of erosion? Yeah. It feels like we're living in the bloody Stone Age when they do that.

13:09 And then so when you see that happening, it is pretty upsetting. on private property and the helicopter comes over and she's like shooting right behind them and It's like, how much more meat can we get off it? I don't know. Well, because I've never brought meat back into America. that's pretty much all we eat at home but once you've eaten game meat and then you go and buy store meat and eat it,

15:45 They didn't hang it. They did something wrong. Yeah, They let it sit out in the sun. They didn't cool the meat off quickly enough. They didn't hang it. Yeah. Because they do have that smell to them. Because you've only got to cool the temperature of the animal from what it was when you harvested it. You know. So it's like, what's the use of cutting a toothbrush down to a quarter?

17:46 hiking the animal out because you can't get a cooler back there right you know and if you had much on call and then yeah i sent him a photo i dropped that bull had the bull down sent him a Yeah, that's nice. And she actually had a bit of elevation sickness. So then she went home and we're already doing pretty radical stuff, like, back there. Yeah. Bow season's quiet.

20:55 You probably are, but how do you argue that and he said he's he had a scope on his And then the traditional bow owners are probably saying that Yeah. Yeah. hard to keep that up and then and and i was successful in doing it. But the beauty of a compound bow was like, even if I was flat out at work, once a week I could shoot, the bow stays sighted in.

23:29 like that done really well and i was like ah stuff it i'll go with the trad bow for the next couple Ideally, I'm at 10 or 15. and hit the rest and bent the rest down or the rest shifted. Sometimes things hit branches. Yeah. buffalo so i do that buffalo hunt once or twice a year and then like some of our bigger deer like It's like punched straight through, hole in one side and out the other.

26:51 If you've shot it in the right place, like double lungs is double lungs. Yeah. Well, he wasn't forever. like wow and got over there and yeah pretty much already field dressed him and everything you know and it split the ball joint of the leg bone like straight in half And it was from that point there that I'm like, I don't carry spare broadheads or anything because those broadheads, like they'll pass through an animal.

30:01 But I don't want to change. like in australia oh shit you're a pussy you know where you're shooting exactly and then i was just like seriously like golf ball size at 20 30 yards like every time i'm like how the fuck That's what's so fascinating about archery. What release are you shooting these days? The purple one? again you're gritting it or something? They actually changed the metal material that they were using.

33:01 I'm going through crap. So I bought three because now I keep one in the backpack. And it's either loaded or it's not. each time. always shot like that and i don't want to change like Like I, let's just say a deer bust out of the brush and runs past me. I think you can shoot a release and make it go off, but you make it go off while you're in control of all your faculties and you're not panicking and you have a shot process. I mean, if I have a hinge and I pull it back for people

35:33 What I think it is is a lot of these people, first of all, in the target archery world, that's a different world. because you can make a trigger go off and still have perfect form and shoot a perfect shot Yeah. and uh i just had it set pretty hot and i executed a perfect shot yeah but i went through a thought i You're overwhelmed, like, this is the moment you've been preparing for.

38:07 And he knows what he's doing. Yeah, I'm like, I just did 10 years of hunting in a month, Australia and like had like loaded up big time. So it's like, this is your one opportunity. I've thought about this a lot because I'm very attracted to things that are very difficult to do. know like cam shot this elk at two yards this year and he was crouched down on a trail he came to full draw he expected

40:17 you're going to hit it crazy low. there's no two animals the same there's no two situations the same they might be similar like Yeah. like carrying in proper camps dude there was yeah there was one morning i got up i just had this just across from me and i'm like what is that and then i like i start walking closer to it and it's a dude set up a tent like right near me, like 50, 100 yards from me.

42:46 I don't know. Well, I don't know. It's a perfect glassing point. uh when me you and cam and the bow hunters started talking about fucking backcountry hunting. Yes. being labeled as a hunter like i'm just we're just human and like i really do think hunting's a big part of being a human i don't Or find spots that they don't know about. of oh there's no sign there there's no sign there there's no sign even older sign you know like i've

46:08 Because you want to learn on the spot? year i did just short of 500 miles but if there was game right i might have only did 100 miles And then so, yeah, his dad knocked off work and like absolute legends that's at the moment isn't that funny so about out of that water source were so many crocodiles they were taking people in this village and they would set up stakes in

48:43 It's nuts, isn't it? And then they jump up and get you. And I sort of talk people through it, like after, obviously. And then you can see like the ridge in front of his tail. So he's ready to go. How far away are you from here? because they live in all water. Oh. but i was still food i was still on the menu everything's on the menu completely on the menu

51:53 But nearly like hard to find, you know, certain river systems not, Saltwater crocodiles are in that district. And they're deep inland. Oh, yeah. And I looked down and put the second arrow away. over in the water and then started swimming away of it and actually took and it was a big ball pig like back at home, you've got all the different things going on,

54:56 You can't carry enough water for 120 kilometers. like even with binoculars, glass in it, you can't see a crock anywhere. I went down, scooped, Oh, God. in a tent? Yeah, because they'll only come so far at the bank. So this last mission that I did with So I had a buddy tell me that he'd had crocs travel 200, 300 yards up a bank great way to get it's not fucking worse than here bears are walking across land at least that danger

58:15 And I was trying to debunk the myth of saltwater crocodiles sort of rapids below me and i hear something moving through the water and i'm like oh no that's I think so so i think probably australia is safer than hunting bloody wyoming or somewhere or montana because of the grizzlies that don't want you doing that, where it's like, oh shit, ground you know i'm going to send you this jamie because this is pretty crazy a friend of mine filmed this in um in california a wolf that is near bakersfield oh wow yeah and

1:01:56 So this, I'll just send it to you. What a beautiful looking animal. The cow has no idea. And they don't have dogs. they're ugly i'm like that's so crazy i got the same feelings towards a pig as a beautiful deer like was like barking flat out at me and um didn't know what i was and then and then i was i i Like there was wet prints coming out of the water hole in the half eaten wallaby.

1:05:03 do some damage they generally always run the other way. The size of, These will be in a zoo. They don't seem like if i saw that a possibility that they're out there somewhere there's a lot of sightings yeah and i do you You know, I mean, there's a lot of people that go looking for them and I haven't seen anything on trail camera like that. one and i set up a couple of trail cameras and obviously we never got any photos of a black

1:08:25 is those people are lost i'm sure there's been other species that we haven't discovered that So this guy was absolutely convinced that these sloths were there, from the Pacific Northwest or wherever the fuck he's from why did they paint that over? or communicated for them both to the same drawing, you know. And I was talking to Jamie when I first got here about that boneyard in Alaska.

1:11:07 Oh, my God. no because they've found things that are there that they didn't look he's found multiple holy They found short-faced bear skulls. It's so filled with animals and a very thick carbon layer. He has some. Because if they're older than 5,000 years ago, okay, now we have historical evidence that predates Wow. filled with mammoth bones and skeletons.

1:14:16 dumped these bones in the East River. Yay. But that thing is at the bottom of the fucking East River, which is just absolutely amazing. That's cracked. They want to make sure it doesn't fall apart. But that thing is at the bottom of the fucking East River, still frozen beneath the ice wedge and the frozen muck about 50 to 60 feet below the surface.

1:16:02 of my way like i'm just doing it while i'm hunting but did the aborigines did they use um bone or uh rock for arrowheads do they have that so they so i gotta take a leak but we're right back sweet and we're back we're back we're back um one of Which is crazy. A lot of them are dying out with the people, unfortunately. is is hard to say but you know you hear stories about um the hairy people and things like that like

1:19:17 Huh. I don't know. Isn't that amazing? Yeah, what is that thing? How weird. Or what you would consider as spaceships. Look at those fucking things. Wow. Isn't that incredible? together to create a community and then so those those drawings that we just looked at could also And that's one of the difficulties in Australia with teaching the traditional people's past is there's so much to it.

1:23:17 A lot of these communities are very remote, So there's 700 written languages. I don't believe so. So, like, how can it be passed on to someone else? I'm sure when you're talking about 60,000 years old I think is what I was just reading. Whoa. Amazing eye Different Yeah I don't know Which was the original Picture from this But it's in color In some places There's a lot of versions of that. I was trying to track that. A lot of different versions of a plesiosaur? Just a different one?

1:25:39 What is that? They had a dream time, which sounds like it would have been like their traditional religion. where there's over 70 this is just on a peninsula on the coast there's over 70 000 clear out of there like would leave that's how freaky these other people were to them Yeah, but it is so interesting that they were so different that these people would be like,

1:27:50 I'm guessing this is the same thing he's talking about. Where's that from? What was there that was deer like? So what the fuck is that? But like. You have to start digging. Yeah. we've introduced deer and pigs and goats and bloody camels and donkeys and everything else Yeah. which picks on a lot of ground-nesting birds and stuff like that. That must have been like a filthy, filthy rich dream.

1:31:13 And it started with bugger all of them Yeah, which is a shame because New Zealand's got a really good hunting culture as well. Like I had to like, I had ice spikes on and ice axe to get up there and it's just like you hardly ever see nature slip up like that right I climbed in over a couple of days up the mountain, like started from the bottom, It always feels safer going up than actually coming down with a bunch of weight on your backpack.

1:34:36 the weather was still good i felt comfortable there i can hear the helicopter coming in and and you see him coming in coming in like i mean it's like sheer rock straight below me and it looked at the time like it was a pretty gradual climb all the way down into this creek that that's happening all day like there's never a rock backwards so i'm on my stomach sliding backwards legs going first and i sliding off the rock backwards. So I'm on my stomach, sliding backwards, legs going first.

1:37:49 breath getting sucked out of me like like i mean like it's crystal clear like that blue water a big tree like falling down in the water there's no trees on the side it's just whatever's been So I'll probably skip a few bits but i end up there and um i like have you ever done anything where you fucking like properly got to convince what next what's next and i hear this deafening sound of water and i get to the fucking edge and

1:41:09 I didn't have any of that. about it now and then realizing there's fucking definitely no way off here it's time to hit the And it's getting late, and I'm like, I need to set up some sort of camp. has like leaned up against that big stump. skin out and sort of laid that there hoping hoping it would give me some warmth as well. I was trying to get warm.

1:44:10 as in i need help and he like like i've been around this dude for forever he's one of my best It might have been 40 minutes or so. It's like a power nap. like i couldn't move them and river that what the creek that's now turned into a river there's rocks rolling down there you coming for me it's fine you know and then it wasn't until i realized and said to myself no

1:47:22 I started piling that up. any of that right so I left the tent set up left the chamois skin in there and then I just got it So I was like, fuck it. and then i thought i heard a fucking helicopter and i was like fuck and this is like this is five I'm fucking rescued now. fucking rock face that was straight below me. And I'm like, how did you know that i was here and my buddy actually rallied the locals and they come out as a training exercise

1:51:32 But walking anywhere from there, there was such a great chance of fucking dying within the first couple of minutes. Because you couldn't jump off the waterfall It is the only thing that saved me. Then they tried to call me on my mobile phone number. I was reassured afterwards that they put all their stuff through training again. and i leant down to get the bag and i just fucking crippled like my back was like fucked

1:54:21 you know and every year i hear about stories guys, just a small slip on the mountain, tar and i've shot shimmy and i've done them in beautiful ways like the bow walking from the You don't see any other hunters. Yeah. I got up in the morning, the phone was dead. There's an SOS on your phone now. spare tires and then rescued know yeah well you do so many of those trips it's remarkable that this has only happened a couple of

1:58:32 do stupid stuff enough and fucking yeah you can only handle poisonous snakes for so long before And so I was like, oh, I might freight my 79 series over here. twice as decked out as that thing again it just needs a tray and a canopy do you have a video of Well, some of the best off-road stuff comes from Australia. ARB, yeah. Yeah, the thing's decked out.

2:00:55 It's removable. just it's yeah it's going to be the ultimate at least for me in australia i've been driving a tesla around here in austin it's just like what is this thing that's the opposite oh it's the so opposite No, he wanted me to shoot it. Wrong arrow. And that's the two blade broadhead there, and it would pierce that. And that's the two-blade broadhead.

2:02:50 shots to break that glass huh it would punch through any metal you shot of that but it wouldn't Because if that was a normal car, it would have ended up in the door on the other side. It's a crazy car. Yeah. electric vehicles in this house that we're living in now because i decked the roof out with solar You get 300 miles away and it would die. too much gas? Are you cognizant of that?

2:05:34 What is that, like 60 gallons? oh yes you should especially like you're better off being Yeah. Yeah, that too. Like I own a farm and it's got water on it attacked. That's assuming, you know, you haven't been invaded. It's assuming that you haven't been I just think, cause you know, as a father, you know, that i've like i've always said like salt lake, Austin's the most beautiful cities that I've ever been to.

2:09:38 It's COVID. Right. We need to raise the budget for the homeless problem. are just camping out in the streets when you go to Los Angeles like there's parts do this you can't litter on the street but you can pile all your bullshit on the street yeah all Well, it almost seems like it's engineered. They actually give people money to stay homeless. It's like they have this fucking ideology in their head,

2:13:44 like San Francisco, It's insane. I don't remember any. And not what I've seen in Salt Lake like last month. people that lived there. So these people have come here from South America, Mexico, and they've made involved they get fought against so hard that how can they make up any ground to really change you had to be vaccinated, right? because I couldn't send them to a job site.

2:17:26 They still spread it. Does it give you antibodies? government's actually run it's like the worst run business there is. And it should be the best run business model there is. So what's the fucking difference? Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah, it is. And we're in New Zealand, me, me kimmy and a good friend tyler in the back country and there's one like leaving the atmosphere, like cruising across the horizon.

2:20:57 Straight away, I'm on my phone, 14 lights in a straight line. That's the real scary scenario. Yeah. But what if it is legit, you know? they have to have this vaccination. profit off of forcing cattle to get vaccinated And these pharmaceutical drug companies can force these cattle ranchers to make sure they vaccinate their cattle. how to try to make that kind of money again.

2:23:47 But I've had the flu before and I've had colds before. You know what? of essential medications. Big business tactics. for things, you could always come up with a reason why people need that. That's the Sackler family. And they did it by telling you, It's going to go away. above it. Now to do keyhole surgery could make it actually worse. So they don't want to do that.

2:27:09 Lidocaine. And I said, and it actually could kill me I only like listening to you and you sort of being a promoter of it. You're talking about plasma. spin it back in your body yeah man so like mexico yeah tijuana is a really good spot the cpi yeah okay cellular performance And six months later, I went back, got an MRI. Yeah. The problem is money. They might as well be selling cigarettes.

2:29:52 that is supposed to stop the suicidal thoughts but those side effects for that also include Feel good about yourself. You're very lucky. way to test myself i like those tests you, you know, like I, I had that rough childhood, whatever, no excuses, Find something. You know, I'm looking forward to, you got to look forward to life. if i didn't do it then i would exercise you know um and i always feel fit like i'm in my 40s now

2:33:02 in the bow hunting and drop straight out of it, Yeah. Like catching a wave is your bull elk on the ground. 100%. You just get better at it. Yeah. It helps keep you going. it's not my design like this is not how i'd have society i don't think it's how anybody it's not Oh, terrible. Or what do you aim towards? but it is hard and i feel for these people that are stuck in a cubicle or in a situation they

2:36:55 Yeah. and anyone's instagram you just see all the glory bits and you don't see that big gap in between So everyone today wants something to happen very quickly. That's me. Even if it's like, oh, today I'm going to research this. many years, you're a professional at it. I can't remember exactly how it went, but all it is, not successful you still succeed in yourself you still grow and that's the end end goal and result for me but

2:40:14 not being successful will even be better. My first elk hunt was on a big ranch in New Mexico. it's like i want to experience that and a bit more like australia where you're just out on your own if you keep putting in. right you've got that experience you know right and we're not all the same and not everyone can i just think i just think humans are inherently tribal hunter-gatherers.

2:42:45 That's most men. That's true too. You too, my friend. I'm going to get you into Waste Well Thank you, brother.
