I was a goatherd for thirty years here in these rugged wild mountains. I never regretted a moment of having those wonderful animals, my friends. I lived in my teepee for five years as well as a number of old abandoned cabins, shacks, snow shelters as well as siwashing it quite a few times over the past fifty years. One day, out with my goats in the mountains, a cougar jumped on one of my goats. Cougar had my goat upside down, straddling my goat, holding her by the throat and choking her. I ran up, stopping about ten feet away (cougar had her ears laid right back, glaring at me and growling/snarling). I shook my shepherd's stick at cougar, me aggressively telling cougar "that is my goat, let her go!". After maybe fifteen seconds cougar let my goat go, cougar then running up into the forest past me. My goat was seriously wounded, deep punctures in her throat and bleeding claw marks on both of her sides. It took me ten months to heal my goat's wounds but I saved her life and over the years that goat gave me quite a few kids. Funny how Callie uses the exact same language with her goats as I did, things like "come-on goats", etc. I had goats that would sit in my lap while we relaxed in mountain meadows watching eagles soar by. Now I'm an old man, living in a little cabin in these same mountains as I did with my goats but I've given up shepherding. I loved milking and I lived on fresh milk, homemade yogurt and occasionally goat cheese. I guess my life was similar to Callie's in quite a few ways, being a hunter/gatherer as well as a goatherd for so many years. I dearly miss my goats and shepherding, that was a wonderful period of my life. Now I don't shepherd but I still grow a good amount of my own food and I still gather herbs for medicine, although I've given up hunting elk and deer some years ago so I'm mostly vegetarian now. Mountain water, fresh mountain air, starry nights, birds singing in the morning and late afternoons, bears, cougars, elk, deer and other wild animals still make life for me a wonder and a miracle. I'm glad to see there are other folk living a similar lifestyle, that gives me hope.

Except what she's doing is as far from what a natural human being would ever do. We evolved for tens of millions of years in the tropical equatorial rainforest eating fresh and ripe fruits and tender young leaves, animal husbandry is only something we resorted to in order not to starve to death when we migrated out of the tropics, but that was long after we had already evolved our physiology and a negligible blip of time in an evolutionary context.

@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci 10 месяцев назад

I wondered about that too. It was obviously summer when this video was made. What does she do to get through the winters? Goats are very hardy in all climates (they just grow thicker coats) but humans at the very least need warm clothes and shelters. The canvas tent she has could just about do it, with a good wood burning stove and plenty of fuel, but how on earth did she survive with just a tarp?

@lynnrussell1641 10 месяцев назад

It said Seasonal at the beginning.Minus twenty below zero and snow does not make for tent living or goats living outside without lots of hay and shelters.

@louisedixon42 10 месяцев назад

I agree. I have had milk goats for 20 years. I live in north Idaho, the goats need shelter and hay in the winter. I feel like only half of the story is being told here.

@@Z-VILLAREAL Then it’s rather misleading for the video to imply that this is how she lives her life year-round. There’s nothing especially brave or radical about living outdoors or in a tent in the warm months; when I was a student I had friends who did that, while they were working during the summer. One guy I knew lived in a tepee for three months and his “toilet” was a hole he dug in the ground.

This is really awesome. I live in Minnesota on 10 acres and one of my neighbors was called "the goat lady" (long gone now) and over time I heard lots of stories basically making her sound crazy. Well, every once in awhile she'd show up looking for water and I would of course give her what she asked for. Never had a bad conversation, never got a bad vibe, she carried herself well and she was always respectful and pleasant to talk too. Super cool, I am trying to get to some much easier version of what she does, I don't think I can let all technology go and wander with goats but I do know Id prefer that to people more and more. Thank you so much, this means more to me than I can really say.

I relate to this. I am 37, grew up in a suburb, and when I was very young I wasn't always happy with my situation. I had everything. Food, toys, great mom and dad, HUGE house, nice neighbors, stable family. But I never knew what was missing until I discovered Permaculture 20 years ago. I now have a family, 30 acres, modest home, 2 sons, 3 daughters, and I live as close to the earth as I can. I am an engineer, but I do not plan to be one forever. If my wife doesn't want to move to Montana and be a goat herder one day, I might just have to go by myself. I've dreamed of doing this very thing for about 5 years, and have told no one. I was surprised to find out that Callie does this. I watched her on Alone tv show. I was impressed by her. Maybe one day I will meet her and learn something.

Milk is only thing you actually can live on for long term. There is everything in milk you need to live, fat, proteins, carbs, vitamins and minerals. There is no need to only drink milk if you have other foods available, but you get the idea. If it's required a milk will do.

When people actually believed something passionately enough to write a book about it, and then it was interesting enough to be published by a publishing house- because printing a lot of books was expensive, and then it had to be found by people who were actually interested in those ideas- maybe THAT was the way it should’ve stayed. Rather than trolls, able to express their idiocy to millions with a few clicks.

Callie was on Alone. She is an absolute legend. She would have won her season if she wasn't going against the best contestant in the history of the show. Just as an idea of who she was competing with. The guy killed a wild yak with a knife.

It's amazing that some people can thrive alone like her when most of society can't go 30 seconds without being "connected" thru social media etc. She should be an inspiration to anyone who wants to "unplug". Great video.l

They remind me of what is really important in life and if I could go back to my younger days, I would try to live life more like her. Technology has not done a service to us, its damaged us in so many ways. I think that it is good to walk away from a modern life and connect and ground ourselves with nature and this lady is doing that in spades!

Excited to see this video. I imagine goats were used as pack animals in the past. Brothers death when she was young definitely shaped her views on life! Good for her! Interesting how she trains her goats. Awesome story about the mountain lion encounter. Of course I would name the goats also! Interesting about the female leader, Queen. She does have a nice setup in her tent! I admire that she is able to really live her life under her own terms as a human.

@teacherandschoolstaffsup-jl6nf 10 месяцев назад

It's good to see people go back to these roots but also good to know what we've escaped. I read recently that people back in the day never used to bathe and used to stink. Now we have home baths, toilets, internet, supermarkets and dont have to fight with wild mountain lions unless we want to.

Being more human is an excellent way to put it. I know that when I spend time outdoors (a few hours when I get it, weekends, etc.) I always feel better. Even to the point when you start to feel something is missing, spend time in the great outdoors. But I like becoming more human. Now, there is a saying I can remember. Thanks for sharing, and it's so cool you go out there and learn from someone who knows a lot. Thanks for sharing more of your story too, Callie!

If Montana is a seasonal camp and Arizona is for the winter, how does she get a dozen goats to Arizona and back plus where would they pasture in dry Arizona?? Seems to involve considerable "stuff management" of a different kind.

@gregweatherup9596 10 месяцев назад

I am also wondering how she seasonally transports that many goats that far. Does she just load them all up into one of those large horse trailers (the kind that can take 3 or 4 horses at once) - It seems like that would be a little cramped but I suppose it could work. Also, does she own the land where she camps or is it like a BLM land situation?

Hey Eva - I started the second licensed goat cheese creamery in the United States. It was located in the mountains of the State of North Carolina. My former wife and I were part of the original back-to-earth movement. We lived in a remote mountain valley in a house and had barns - so it was not quite as radical as this lady. I did not have to train the young goats. The dominant females run the herd and so keep everybody in line. I really enjoyed this program in particular. Wished I had met a lady like this one. Eventually, my former wife announced that she wanted to "cash out on the marriage."

@twilit 10 месяцев назад

my parents did the same also in the mountains of wnc during the original back to the land movement in the 70s. my dad chose to “cash out” leaving my mom and me as a baby alone in the winter in the woods, for a 22 year old with rich parents who had a summer home nearby. he chose to try to fit in to the yuppie life and was ashamed of his “hippie” past and that came out in how he always treated me- very difficult upbringing for me but i still have wonderful connection to nature thanks to my early years living so close to the land. its some theist i’ve always felt deeply and there’s no words for the way your body just connects to the environment. it’s not an easy life and it’s not for everyone but too bad some people cant make changes with more caring and grace.

@@twilit I bet I knew your parents. We arrived in Asheville in January 1977, I was director of the Downtown Revitalization Program. Our farm was on Blackberry Inn Road in the Reems Creek Valley, We moved the operation to the Shenandoah Valley in autumn 1987. Built a showcase, federally licensed facility. The State Dept, furnished the national champion Swiss Yodeling Choir and Alpenhone band for the grand opening. Selling huge amounts of cheese made my wife think that was far more important in this world than she really was. If you get my gist. The is the best program that Eva has ever produced.
