I have to imagine that out of all the "celebrity" hunters out there, Remi must be seen as the best on the Mountain. Its like the dude was built in a lab. A historical depth of knowledge and "ultimate generalist" mindset of Rinella, the VO2 max of Cam Hanes and the global hunting and outfitting experience of Jim Shockey. Not to mention that the couple times I met him, he seemed like a genuinely good guy. Like Randy Newberg level of nice.
Maybe its Rinella who has the ultimate generalist mindset of Remi, cam hanes got the VO2 max of Remi and Jim shockey the global hunting and outfitting of Remi. And Randy Newberg is geniunely good guy just like Remi
Hey Steve! I’m 73 yo, and every time I watch your videos, my first reaction is, “Steve you lucky bastard!”….but then I realize just how hard you have worked for 20+ years to get to this level, and know in my heart that it’s not about luck at all. God bless you and yours, and thank you for all the wonderful things you have done for us!
Best content on UA-cam. I’ve had a shitty day, drove 1.5 hours one way just to have my blood pressure taken and schedule an appointment to see if the lump on my neck and head is cancer or not, currently unemployed because I worked with my father and since my mother passed two years ago my dad has gotten a new girlfriend, a control freak who has drove a wedge between him and the family and he recently stopped working me so I’m broke and my four year old daughter’s birthday is next weekend and I have nothing to give her, it’s currently 8:15, thundering and lightning and I am beat but meat eater just dropped a new episode with Steven Rinella hunting elk which put a smile on my face. Thanks guys and please pray for me. God bless you all.
Keep on Keepin on!!!! You will get through this tough time!!!! Keep your head up, Stay positive, and remember you aint never out of the fight we call life!!!!
I am very pleased to see that Steve is thoroughly knowledgeable in skinning an animal; in protecting the kill from bears; and most importantly, in being able to prepare meals that exceed many high-end restaurants. … And, that the people he asks to share the hunting experience, are also individuals of really good character. 👍
Went on a 5 day hunt at Raspberry Island in Kodiak for Sitka Blacktail last November. First day got within 70 yards of a herd of Roosevelt cow elks on Afognak
The Meateater Podcast Ep: 85 and 86 with the full crew and still shattered nerves of all involved in the bear attack is amazing to listen to. It just doesn't get any better!
When we were kids we went to the woods to make a fire, cook a hot dog on a stick and get your mess kit all black while heating up Cambell's soup over the flames. Thanks for reminding me.
By FAR and not even close, the best two hunters in the industry when you consider production, education, demeanor etc. Thank you Steve (from a Muskegon Native) and Remi, Best guide ever, and whom my best buddy named his Vizsla after.
South African here, yes this made us replicate it too on a hunt in the Kalahari with Gemsbuck heart liver and kidneys. Awsome memory, now you take that same recipe, with the stomach fat and spices, and stuff it into a real sausage casing, that is a true pofadder/puff adder.
My first attempt at poffadder, I decided to cook it in a microwave...😂first time I checked through the glass it looked like a rugby ball. My subsequent efforts have been a lot better
I saw this episode originally, then I heard Remi's account, several tellings of it, then I heard the podcast. (Maybe my favorite podcast episode) Now watching this again to see the before and after emotions. Dirt tho, lolol, best bar story ever. My biggest take away from listening to it all, bear awareness tactics are working when you don't see bears. Don't get complacent.
Did 10 days on Afognak in October of '21, and that brush was just indescribable. Every step was a jungle gym. It was a truly humbling experience as far as my physical fitness was concerned.
Another great video Steve. Love watching you with Remi and/or Callahan. I love the video with Callahan and the Sow with cubs "can you smell me now", as well as the story of the bear coming into camp and charging a bunch of you guys looking to take your kill. Remi does a great job telling that story. I was surprised you only saw/showed 1 Brown bear, as I know Afognak has some of the biggest Brown Bears anywhere in the world. The food sure looked like a fine reward from that Elk, which also looked like a perfect animal to take-older, injured, and most likely closer to death than birth. Keep 'em coming and always be safe! Thanks again
my buddy and i fish in bear country a lot and we take every precaution we can some people have called us crazy but when you got 15 pounds of trout hanging off you and the sun is setting and you've seen signs of bear activity said precautions make you feel a lot better
Odd that this was the infamous 'meat tree' trip where the grizz attacked but they make zero mention of it. I get that it wasnt on film, nor did they want it on film but jeez it would deserve some mention in this edit....
The grizz that came through camp story I know of, the meat tree grizz I have not heard of! In that thick brush it would be awful having a bear sneak up on you
@@jameshooper1422 It was for sure, he only hunted Afognak once and that is where the griz attack was. He talked about in a podcast years ago why they didnt make any mention of the attack in this edit
The moment steve shot and the bull drop, i was clapping alone in the kitchen mesmerised by the hard work of hunting and the pay off. Great job guys! Im looking forward to hunt as well in the future. Amen!
Take out one of the 2 founders of GBRS group I think that could be a legendary experience: 1 or two former navy seals with the MeatEater on a real hunt !
I hope you enjoyed the puffadder. We make it every single hunt here in Namibia. Oryx is the best for it. Let me know if you want to come try some. What you made, we call Turtle. Puffadder, we use the colon to stuff with the same ingredients, so it resembles the puffadder snake.
@sumo-ninja The crew got attacked by a grizzly out here, beneath the meat tree. The tree in which they hung up the meat and then a grizzly claimed the kill overnight .
I have to say Steve, as a Michigan born hunter like urself, 1 I'm very happy for u that u made what makes u happy ur job. 2 n so DAMN JEALOUS!! lol awesome brother
Puffadder (Pofadder) as well as Tortoise (Skilpad) are both enjoyed on a bbq (Braai) daily in South Africa, our latest Nyala hunt also resulted in those.
I now know why I'm depressed, I keep watching you guys hunt constantly and I get to do it for 1 week and then I have to work 70 hours the rest of the year every week. Atleased it's nice to dream.
The dish is called pofadder … its an Afrikaans prep of liver heart and coriander named after a highly venomous fat snake (pofadder in afrikaans puffadder in english) anyway hopefully you can come hunt in south africa- less cold less rainy & i recon the Nyala is at least as big as that elk but the meat is sweeter and if not then hunt a hippo… you will be as happy eating anything ever again
Its funny how perspectives differ between people. Steve says getting dropped off by a plane feels odd, that its very disorienting. As a bush pilot I feel disoriented if I haven't flow their before and seen it from the air. Best I can figure it Alaska is the land of extremes. When the weather is nice, there is nothing better. But, just as nice as it was out is how shitty the weather is going to get in short order to make you earn the next ray of bliss from the sun. I once heard that a person can only ever be as happy as the inverse of their greatest hardship or sorrow. Which I tend to agree with the older I get. Alaska as much as I love her is the queen of teaching persistence and doling out some hardship. The beauty of this place is that in the middle of what may be a knock out drag out garbage weather day, ol' mother nature might smile on you and lift her skirt and show you something truly breathtaking for 15 minutes. A little reward just for enduring. Then just like that, slamming it back down and pissing rain all over you LOL. But making it to the next little window is so rewarding, and we just keep doing it like the idiots we are.
Brown bears can actually climb trees, but they're not as adept at it as other bear species, like black bears. Their larger size and weight make it more challenging for them to maneuver and find branches that can support their weight. Additionally, brown bears have longer claws designed for digging rather than climbing, which can also hinder their ability to climb efficiently.
Thanks for putting the whole bear thing into context Steve. Living Tim Treadwell or an Iowa school teacher are not the same thing. Hence the difference in endings.
Alaska will kick you in the ass daily! I was a fishing guide at a wilderness lodge west side of kodiak! Actually spent the night in a floatplane because of weather!😳😉👍

I also realise my statement doesnt make much sense, but hey
Remi has no where near the global hunting and outfitting experience of Jim Shockey...Not even close to being in the same school let alone class.
💥👍🎉
Make them both the same age and compare it. Gotta think of where Remi will be by the time he is Jims age. @wcb5890

Miss Remi. I wish he was still a part of/did more collabs with MeatEater.
He has his own channel. Check it out
"When we were kids we used to go out into the woods just to make a fire" 🔥 Hell yeah! 🤘
Steve and Remi ....... best team ever....... do more hunts together. Great job guys.
Solo Hunter was a great show!
greatest hunting show. don't know who's gonna replace this show ten years from now
That when he should take the show back to Michigan and tree stand hunt or there’s always his kids!!!
Of all places to embrace the suck, it's Alaska. Love it!

"I told my parents I'd meet them for dinner!" Classic line to get outta dressing that bull. Haha!
Honestly. The wording of the fog unveiling the elk like it was a gameshow. Probably the most midwest thing I've ever heard in my life.

One of your better videos Steve. Great hunt, great scenery, great friends, great food

Gotta make you jealous watching those fish grilled right by the lake they were caught out of besides jealous , hungry 😊 ❤
Love this show. Thanks for putting them on UA-cam Steve!
Thank you for sharing your hunt with us
Those organs getting grilled at the end looked damn good.
When I seen this episode on Netflix I immediately went out and tried to replicate it with beef and it was absolutely delicious.
South African here, yes this made us replicate it too on a hunt in the Kalahari with Gemsbuck heart liver and kidneys.

All credit due for Steve’s superb writing on all these episodes.
It’s cool because I’m a big hunter and my name is Remy (Remington) so it’s cool to see one of the biggest people in the hunting community named Remi
I live to hunt and hunt to live.
IT NEVER GETS OLD

That devils club will surely slow you down
@@danielralston466 It was the arrested alder brush for me. Being 6'3 climbing through that stuff all day was a memory maker if nothing else lol.
@@SellsZacbeing 5'5 helps me out😂😂
All the ME'r videos give me November fever. Can't wait to get out there again.
I've rewatched all seasons multiple times already...but it doesn't hurt to watch them again on good ol' youtube.

Man I’m from Kodiak and have yet to shoot an elk. This was a great show guys. Thanks
Great episode!!! them Roosevelt bulls get pretty damn big. Hell, even the cows get super big! I love Meat Eater. Hands down best Huntin show ever!!!!
I feel like I’ve watched this episode before. I’m thinking I’m going to enjoy watching this episode again.
my buddy and i fish in bear country a lot and we take every precaution we can some people have called us crazy but when you got 15 pounds of trout hanging off you and the sun is setting and you've seen signs of bear activity said precautions make you feel a lot better
Two recipes I learnt today from this video, salmon roe on smoked salmon skin and the Puff Adder. I will definitely add this to my list of recipes. ❤️👍
Remi, Janis, Doctor Randall, Spencer and Steve are my favorites in all of Meat Eater.
Odd that this was the infamous 'meat tree' trip where the grizz attacked but they make zero mention of it. I get that it wasnt on film, nor did they want it on film but jeez it would deserve some mention in this edit....

So why is this just now coming out on film if that happened in like 2017??
@@Pres_10 These episodes are just now coming to YT, they release them on Netflix due to the license deal first
You Remi and your brother would be a great video thanks always look forward to your videos
My brother and I would build forts and cook food over fire holes our entire childhood. Can't wait to teach my kids!
Y'all are both exceptional. Great video.
Steven I really enjoy your videos and also listen to your podcast I look forward to every new video thanks brother
The moment steve shot and the bull drop, i was clapping alone in the kitchen mesmerised by the hard work of hunting and the pay off. Great job guys! Im looking forward to hunt as well in the future. Amen!
What a great episode guys. Unreal. Thanks for the great wholesome content once again. Love to hunt
Absolutely love these two together!!!
love the show guys
Shout out from SE ALASKA!
Loved this one! Now I’m hungry!! And I miss Rem’s podcast!
Take out one of the 2 founders of GBRS group
I think that could be a legendary experience: 1 or two former navy seals with the MeatEater on a real hunt !

Remi and Steve the best duo 😤💪🏽
Wow. So ingenious.
Alaska is truly the last frontier!
Another amazing episode, wow, really nice, thank you!
It’s weird watching this knowing the story of the meat tree. They don’t allude to it, but best podcast episode out there.
Please elaborate lol the meat tree?
@sumo-ninja

Puffadder (Pofadder) as well as Tortoise (Skilpad) are both enjoyed on a bbq (Braai) daily in South Africa, our latest Nyala hunt also resulted in those.
Always a fan of a warren and ranella hunt. Especially elk!
The best hunting show out there, good stuff.
Good to see both of you hunting together.
His first cast beats my PB for Salmon hahaha love it!
I now know why I'm depressed, I keep watching you guys hunt constantly and I get to do it for 1 week and then I have to work 70 hours the rest of the year every week. Atleased it's nice to dream.
Just another day here in Alaska!😉👍
The old school meat eater intro is the best
What a dream hunt that would be
The dish is called pofadder … its an Afrikaans prep of liver heart and coriander named after a highly venomous fat snake (pofadder in afrikaans puffadder in english) anyway hopefully you can come hunt in south africa- less cold less rainy & i recon the Nyala is at least as big as that elk but the meat is sweeter and if not then hunt a hippo… you will be as happy eating anything ever again
My belly feels so much better.
Steve x Remi = the best!
i like this duo
Best duo
That food looked delicious at the end
the best two guys rocking :)
Awesome episode👍
6:01 “Remi dreams of Sushi” I understood that reference
Nothing better than fresh salmon cooked on the bank.
Yep! I'm going especially at 18:44, hey steve even Joe would be like YEP! night time, there's a Pyramid, yep
Did you guys actually fall asleep? I’d be waking up to the sound of wind every minute thinking of bears circling camp 😅
👍😁 thank you for living your dream lot of us dream about doing!!
this Burzum soundtrack 👌
What I would give for a backcountry hunt with these two!
I noticed Remi staying strapped up there. Given your guys past there Id be surprised if there wasn’t a grenade under those coats!

wish we could catch silvers in valdez like you guys do there
I would give anything to go on a hunt with Steve
Shuyak Island is its own island.
What rifle are calibre where you using? Thanks really enjoyed the video 😊
Re Runs and Good Times
What’s crazy is we dont even see the most intense part of this hunt on the video
You guys figure out how to eat like kings no matter where you are!
When was this hunt video? Thx for a update...Aloha.
What Rifle and Caliber did Steve use ?
