#853 - Adam Greentree

Joe Rogan (0:00)

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. Adam Greentree lives in Australia, surrounded by brown snakes, which kill you like instantly, right?

Adam Greentree (0:22)

Not instantly, but pretty quick.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

How many spiders do you have that will kill you instantly? Like a ton of them. A hundred. You've got crocodiles. You've bathed. I've saw the video of you and Cam Haines in a fucking puddle that crocodiles swim around in.

Adam Greentree (0:38)

That might have been my idea too.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

But yet, the one day he's in Calabasas, which is like the safest place in America.

Adam Greentree (0:45)

Untrue, but yep.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Well, tell me what happened.

Adam Greentree (0:50)

Well, so I hopped out of the hotel. First thing this morning, we're going to try and find a decent coffee here in America.

And there's police around in the whole area where the coffee shop was. And 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...

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Had a coffee bean?

Adam Greentree (1:11)

Yeah. Yeah, it was. Had a coffee bean.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

Find out what happened, Jamie. See if there's a story.

I said it was probably like some wife mad at her husband.

Adam Greentree (1:21)

Yeah, it seemed more serious than that.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Called in the police. He's got a gun. Like that's happened before. That happened with Ron White. I think his girlfriend packed a gun in his luggage.

And then that happened with Sam Kinison, too. His girlfriend packed a loaded gun in his luggage and then called the police on him.

Adam Greentree (1:36)

That's crazy. But straight away, I'm like, it's safer in the mountains with the grizzly bears and crap.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Well, yes and no.

Adam Greentree (1:45)

Definitely is.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

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 going to happen.

Adam Greentree (1:59)

Most likely.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

Most likely. But when you were up there, did you run into some wolves?

Adam Greentree (2:05)

Yeah, we seen, well, I've seen wolves, and then the grizzly bear is the one that sort of really scared me.

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 come in around camp and was hunting all the trails around camp.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

Size 11 boots, so it's like a 12 foot, a 12 inch pad.

Adam Greentree (2:26)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

Oh my God.

Adam Greentree (2:27)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

How big do you think it was? Did you see the actual bear itself?

Adam Greentree (2:31)

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.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

He was sleeping on your carcass?

Adam Greentree (2:41)

Yeah, and then...

Joe Rogan (2:42)

He slept on it. Did he eat some of it?

Adam Greentree (2:44)

He didn't touch it. What? Yeah, it was like the first day.

So, I killed that bull in the afternoon, 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.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

So, he's just sleeping on it?

Adam Greentree (3:05)

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 dead fall 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.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

They can move so fast in those pads that they have on the bottoms of their feet. It makes them so silent.
