Boom, here we go. What's up, Glenn? How are you, man?
Hey, Joe. Nice to meet you.
In person. Good to come down here. Good to meet you.
Dude, you're one of my favorite characters on that show.
It was always weird watching you.
People don't know where to... Life Below Zero.
It's this crazy show where people live in this very rugged terrain,
and you are the most interesting life,
because when you would live up at the cabin, you would live by yourself.
Just you in a very small room, just hunting all your food and hiking around.
You didn't use any vehicles, and you just kind of had a rifle and a frying pan and a pot and a place to sleep.
And you seemed really happy up there.
Oh, yeah. I'm having a good time.
I just wanted to strip everything away that I could dispense with, you know.
I got the idea. I wanted to go back to living like a hunter-gatherer.
Back in 97, I just got this idea.
I was actually living in a tent in the woods down in Vermont having such a good time.
I thought, where could I go with this? What could I do with this kind of lifestyle?
And I decided to move to the Brooks Range of Alaska.
What was it like... So, what made you go live in a tent in the first place?
