Yellowstone National Park

All right.

Well, enjo- enjoy time off the grid and yeah, um, yeah, hope you and Mom really enjoy Yellowstone.

I've always wanted to go, so, uh, have a great time.

Mm-hmm.

The way I was doing that, I was doing a lot of audio notes.

I would hike in silence and then do audio notes in silence throughout Yellowstone National Park.

and near bozeman and elsewhere and i that that was the thought that i kept having was this like this when someone's just marching in madness up the mountaintop and like they're just so high strung about getting to the mountaintop and not being able to be present on the way up they'll soon realize the mountaintop is like made of the same material as the whole hike on the way up

Yeah,

And then...

From there, that's a national park, but then it's also right next to Yellowstone National Park.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

One of its favorite residents was a lawyer by the name of Jerry Spence.

...

the other people who are like the tourons of, of Wyoming and the national parks such as Yellowstone or other places that are very trafficked like Yosemite, and walking up to a bison and-

Straight up.

That's Darwinism

I, uh, talked about like those incidents where it's just like, how, how? Where, where did the thoughts start? I know how they ended.

I just wanna know how did these thoughts start? [laughs]

Y- you, and then have you seen in the same category the reviews, the reviews of like beautiful wild places or places like Yellowstone National Park? [laughs] And it's people complaining as if it's like a petting zoo.

Oh, yeah.

It's all fucked.

I'm about to have to cull all these," or, "Do you wanna just let them roll through Yellowstone and leave it the fuck alone?" Because those are our options.

Sure.

But they're also fucking, you know, constantly at war.

The federal government's at war with wild horses, just trying to get rid of them as well, so, you know.

That seems a little weird.

It would create more jobs of fucking weird mercenaries who go out into these Yellowstone regions.

[laughs] And just assassinate fucking cows and horses.

Despite Mark's body being found the next day and after an autopsy concluded he had died of hypothermia, Kim's whereabouts are still unknown.

Yellowstone National Park officials have confirmed that the search for Kim is now being called a recovery mission, as the authorities say they are looking for remains at this point.

Kim Crumbo, a former Navy SEAL, spent two decades working as a river ranger, park ranger, and wilderness coordinator in Grand Canyon National Park.

He was a member of the Potawatomi tribe and a board member of the Rewilding Institute, a conservation program.

Tatum, affectionately known to her family as Tate, had set up camp at Shadow Lake close to the West Fork Trail near Red Lodge in the Custer-Gallatin National Forest in Montana.

The Custer-Gallatin National Forest boasts an area of over 3 million acres and seven ranger districts.

According to the website, the forest has gateways to Yellowstone National Park and has activities for everyone to enjoy.

Searchers believe that Tatum left her tent on the morning of July 2nd, 2021, and was planning on scaling a 12,000-foot peak that day.

investigating crimes in national parks.

the majority of her career over 30 years in Yellowstone as a protection ranger and the last five years of her career she created the National Park Service Victim Assistance Program and received funding for victim specialists who are placed in Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and more.

They also respond all over the National Park Service.

Nancy spent around 18 years in Yellowstone, then Mount Rushmore, then became an LE, which is a law enforcement captain in the U.S. Forest Service, and finally retired after several years as chief ranger at Jewel Cave.

Tara currently lives outside the boundary of Yellowstone, and Nancy resides in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

So we talked about all sorts of cool stuff.

We talked about all the wild, crazy stuff that Tara and Nancy have seen working as National Park and Forest Service law enforcement.

And then I got seasonal work in Colorado.

All right, then the second one.

Glacier National Park is home to more grizzly bears per square mile than any other place in the lower 48 states, including Yellowstone.

And number three, the park straddles the continental divide.

So rain falling on one side of the park eventually reaches the Pacific Ocean.

I think with global warming and other things that I've heard that that is true.

The grizzly bears, I'm thinking that could be a candidate for being wrong.

I know that Yellowstone has a lot of grizzly bears.

as well.

Do not m- feed them.

Do not..." This is Yellowstone.

That bison is the size of a VW Microbus.
