Replay-The value of Wilderness, Outdoors, and Saving the Yellowstone Grizzly with Doug Peacock [EP 361]

Enjoy this replay of my conversation with one of my environmental heroes Doug Peacock. I was fortunate to meet Doug at an Earth First! Rendezvous in Idaho in 1988. I'm just finishing his newest book "Was it Worth It", from Patagonia Books. Doug and I talk about his many adventures, his love for wildness, and his current work to save the Yellowstone Grizzly.

So he would go up to the woods and lead them and organize boy scout troops operated in the woods. And I would be too little to be a boy scout. So I got cut loose to just run wild in the woods and catch turtles and hunt squirrels, whatever, everything. And that's how I grew up.

Writers/Books "You want it dense, really high specific gravity. I remember carrying the Odyssey, Moby Dick, and I carried one of Jimmy Harrison's books out there. And after Ed died, I had to read Hayduke Lives, so I took it out there. Lately, I've just read a book by Joy Williams. And oh hell just three or four nights ago I cooked dinner for Richard Powers and Gretel Ehrlich and David & Betsy Quammen."
