Buck Bowden is a wild man. After a rocky childhood in Illinois he was shipped up to Alaska and found his calling first as a hunter, trapper, pilot, homesteader, and hunting guide. After a fire burned down his cabin, he was forced to start over and rebuild, but he’s never lost his passion for the great Alaskan wilderness.

The corner notching on the log cabin is a technique made popular by an old mentor and friend to all, Ron Brodigan up in Northern Minnesota.

Johnny AppleStead ok bud

@alaskaoutdoorssupersite3523 4 года назад

@Johnny AppleStead well I guided for him for about 25 years and he and I hunted together for many years. He's not a liar, and he's certainly no Hollywood guy. If you've got a beard and you spend much time outdoors in below zero temps, you're gonna get frost and ice. I've had a beard for my entire adult life and I still do at 62. Lived in Alaska for 33 of those years, and spent much of that time outdoors winter and summer. Questioning something so basic calls into question a man's experience. It's just a reality, friend. If it hasn't happened to you, you are either clean-shaven or you haven't spent much time out in the cold.The only hair I know of that doesn't ice up in the cold is wolverine. That's why we use it for parka ruffs.

@kylewinter8766 4 года назад

Is it expensive to get him as a guide? Would be worth the stories heard over a camp fire i bet.

@Sharkdog11b 4 года назад

This was twelve years ago I’m not sure what his prices are now but look up hidden alaska guides and that may point you in the right direction it’s been awhile since I’ve looked myself

@thewarriorandthegarden1562 4 года назад

These are great for short series but I think showing more alternative and different ways of hunting,trapping,and fishing would attract more viewers from different communities even though yall main market is towards hunters but meat eater is good enough and entertaining that it can attract more than just hunters I would love to see meat eater become a household name

@RedDeckMarine 4 года назад

@mr.fisher3973 4 года назад

Living the dream - you don't realize how many of us that watch this would love to be in Buck's shoes. People like Buck are very few and far between, and for good reason. Living this type of life is hard to say the least, but like Buck says - if you have a great passion for it you'll do fine. Excellent video Mr. Rinella.

@terricjohnson6 4 года назад

I’m getting older and this is how I wanna live off the wild!!! The thing of it is I don’t know how to do anything but I love the great outdoors and looking at meat eaters make it look like it’s the easiest way to make it, but I know different

@connerluther7349 4 года назад

@newperspective1318 4 года назад

I think every hunter knows that peace that comes from nature. It's almost unparalled by anything else in creation. I can think of a couple things like hearing well done from The Lord or that first week after water baptism. I've been a hunter over 20 years and a Christian 19 so I know what I'm talking about. Buck I hope my place in heaven is just like that little cabin in the wilderness. I sound insane but this is my thoughts.

@plotholedetective4166 2 года назад

Lol I also got kicked out of my home town as a kid for causing trouble myself. It's always been a dream of mine to live in Alaska, seems like a good place to be a free spirited asshole like me who would rather work his ass off to survive than make nice with suit wearing stiffs and backwards ball cap bros... I moved to Houston Tx. from A small town in Nebraska and I've felt trapped by this damn city ever since.

@geraldarmstrong5861 4 года назад

I was born in central Illinois, and wanted to go to Alaska all my life, but my wife said she would only go as far as Holiday Inn.... we divorced 20 years ago… Maybe I’ll make it to Alaska yet!!

@bykrydr1380 2 года назад

wonderful. as an outdoorsman it is inspirational to know the connection with nature is 'natural'. It is where we all began; where we evolved from if you will; natural instinct. Buck's story connects to/with many.
