- When Doug Peacock returned from his second tour in Vietnam, he was ready for some peace and quiet. He found refuge in the wilds of Montana and Wyoming, among the many creatures that have inhabited the mountains and the plains for thousands of years. “My companions ended up being grizzlies,” Peacock says. “Those bears saved my life.” Read more: www.theatlanti...
"Grizzly Country" was directed by Ben Moon (benmoon.com/). It is a part of The Atlantic Selects, an online showcase of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.

My cousin came back from Nam..beautiful boy. His mother found him hanging in the tree in back of the family home. I'm glad you went to the wild..to the bears.
Barbi Button My brother went too - he destroyed everybody around him and then swallowed a bullet. He probably would have done the same without having gone to Nam
Yeah- I remember the gentle, young, blonde man who lived among Grizzlies in Alaska. He felt safe enough among the bears to bring his young bride with him for the season. That Summer they were both killed and eaten by the Grizzlies. I agree, the wilderness must be preserved-its the original place where Human Beings might experience and gain knowledge of God the Creator. But we can do it as well, in a KOA campground with our dog. Keep Bear habitat exclusively for the bears. Help to preserve it, then take your doggie for a overnighter, outside of town. Because all it takes is for one hostile, grumpy bear to do differently, one day, and you're lunch.
The Atlantic they can get along yes
A question asked when the lion is now endangered.
"Welcome home "
Thanks for your service.
Every species we choose to protect is really an effort to save ourselves. We will not survive on this planet alone.
Truth👍👍👍
"Saving the wild is the Mother of all things" ❤
Semper Fi. We are always in debt to you for the pain and suffering you endured during your tours in Vietnam. God bless you forever for that. Then thank you again for your dedication towards the preservation of the gift God gave us-I don't know why we can't realize how we have been systematically and ferociously eating at and irrevocably diminishing that Garden out of Eden like locusts...replacing meadows with malls and rolling hills with housing developments.
May you continue your love and your mission for as long as your heart wishes.
please everyone, we ALL need to get involved in every way to save and protect all wildlife animals, birdlife, insect life, plant life, sea life, and all of nature because it is being destroyed and wiped out by those in power and greedy humans and we need to put a stop to it all and ban together and salvage what's left that man has not destroyed.
I agree nature is important and beautiful, I would hate to live in a cyberpunk like world
It’s not being destroyed by greedy humans it’s being bought out by them
This piece of rock call earth is darn beautiful . It fills you with awe and gratefulness.
Our world needs more people like you sir.
Thanks for doing your part in helping save our wildlife
Even viewing the wilderness on my computer screen spirits me away into its wild beauty and open space!
right on 👍
Thank you, Mr. Peacock for your amazing words of wisdom and your commitment to the grizzlies!
There can be nothing more rewarding than being invested in protecting animals from destructive/uncaring humans.Teach present and future generations to co-existing with nature and all of it's creatures.There is beauty in viewing wildlife in their natural habitats.
This is why we say "Thank you for your service".
Very inspiring video from a very humble man.
My life is quite similar. And the grizzly bears of the Tetons have saved my life, and more importantly, my soul.
Don't stop there, tell us about it!
bearman000ify looser. Haha
bearman000ify - Only Jesus can save your soul. 🙏🏻
@@lauralee9440 100% True - the verses in Romans 1.25 are so apt in relation to this documentary - ''they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.''
So easy to do..but this is always humanity's down fall..missing the wood for the trees..worshiping what God has made rather than worshiping HIM.
Nature or the natural world is LIFE! Without which we all die.
I agree!
I enjoyed this video so much, thanks to you for sharing this amazing footage with us. I love all bears, but am most intrigued by Grizzlies. I will probably never be lucky enough to see one in real life, but I respect them and have learned about their place in nature, and the need to preserve them. Thanks for sharing.
'The metaphysical icky poos' love it!
Mr Peacock, you are truly an American who did what he had to in the face of the ugly terror of war. And yet you managed to come home with so much positivity to put into something that really needs it. Your not seeking fame or fortune on a story from the past. You are forging a legend for generations that cannot ensure then own future. I have a special connection to the Grizzly, its very personal and if we ever crossed paths I will confide in you. May our hands shake somewhere in time.
All of these animal huggers get poetic while describing the top predator on the planet. I express my love for the Brown bear by leaving them ALONE.
@amanda miller Voting for Trump has nothing to do with slaughtering animals. You are a prime example of someone who isnt in control of thier emotional state. Fyi i dislike Trump. But you people on the left never fail to show your insanity as soon as you can find a chance to. I realized long ago that dems and repubs are different wings on the same bird. Stop plaing into the hands of the social engineers. Divide and conquer is thier strategy, and you are helping them succeed by plaing your part in dividing people further. Wake up.
@amanda miller what does Trump have to do with anything?? Wow, you're a nut.
@amanda miller You give demoncrats a bad name.
@@seavisions well said!
@amanda miller just remeber the globalist/zionist banksters own both sides.. democrats will sell u out too
Welcome home BROTHER from a fellow Nam Medic
Great documentary.
We need more Americans like this.
I only have two words for you, one hell of a man. One hell of a good man. Thank you sir, for everything you do. Thank you for your service. I wish I could have been your shadow.
As a vet, know wonder why I came back to the high country of the Crowsnest Pass, home for me, and I will protect the land and animals I love!
Thanks for the dedication to the wild, Doug. I've hung out with G bears most of my adult life, and I know as fact, grizzlies are about 10 times more than denatured apes.
I read a lot of the comments here and ...... I despair for humanity the depth of stupidity and flippant arrogance , the self entitled foolishness of people is breathtaking.......
a short MASTERPIECE thank you
This man knows it, knows what its about.
May God bless you and thank you for your wisdom and big heart.
Gorgeous film 👏
If I thought a grizzly bear was within two miles of me I'd not go outside. Sure is beautiful country there in Montana, btw.
Thank you Doug. thank you thank you.
Nothing can stop a man who's found his calling.
Except a big bear that will eat,you
This is a powerful call to action. I have been to Wyoming and Montana thrice over the last five years and I can relate to the inspiration first hand. Go Doug Peacock and the initiatives you've championed! Let's strive to protect our planet's wildlife.
a great mini-documentary....beautiful country and animals !
For half of this video I swore bill Murray was doing a character
EDIT: Great doc btw, “arm yourself with friendship”
Thank you for your service. I agree with you the getting outside is great medicine.
Those animals are beautiful
TY for not shooting him. God bless you. God was with you that day. They dont want to harm humans; they just don't know what WE are going to do. I'm crying listening to this.
Protect everything wild. As much of it as possible. As much of those creatures, everywhere, as possible.
💙🌸🐌
There's something so weird about people who LOVE wild animals, I like and respect bears but I'm not in love with them lol. There's something so narcissistic about people who own wild animals/think these animals wont attack them. Because these people are SO special and the animals care about them SO much...
First, Thank you sir for your service.
I wish everyone would do what your trying to do. Not enough have the respect for the wild. God bless you sir. Keep on as long as you can!!
I admire all that you have done and continue to do. Be careful out there.
I love this documentary..👍
Beautiful x
First off thank you for your service👍👍🇺🇸
I would always carry a gun..because bears. Like humans and are sometimes Bad..
Does not hurt to be prepaired😁😁😁
Phillip Burns
Shotguns best choice
This man was very lucky the grizzly didn't attack while he aimed his magnum at the bear's head. Others haven't been so lucky. To each his own, and best of luck sharing your time with killers of the forests and open land.
I LOVE EVERY PART OF THIS 😍
This is beautiful. To be with nature is such a powerful thing that if all of us not destroy it and just nurture it, it can really help us preserve nature and us mankind. I love this ❤️
God bless this man for serving in VietNam........the shame of American history, but the origin of American patriots and heros.
Thank you for your service , did you ever meet my brother Jan Scruggs that started the Vietnam memorial ?
Hwoo, tears are streaming and streams are tearing.... what a gorgeous man with a SOUL expanse, few have dreamed of.... thankyou thankyou thankyou THANKYOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All people need to humble themselves and think about your place in nature.
Best 11 minutes I've watched on RUclips in awhile
Amazing video!!! I absolutley LOVED this 😀💖 thank you for sharing, great work!!
Poignant and beautiful. Thank you.
That was an awesome video but I'm still going to carry bear spray or a gun when I go hiking but that's me..
This is a thing of beauty.........
I could watch this a million times
Very well done Doug!
The quality of this channel is simply outstanding. Every video you upload always move me a lot. Really. Thank you very much for your amazing work.
He is who the Creator wanted human beings to b. What a great man!! 🙏🙏🌷🌈💓
I respect and thank you for your service. But I'm locked and loaded especially in bear country.
WRKF0RAMMO3 Probably safer than Chi Town 😂
Its stupid not to be armed in bear country. Sure I like bears and don't want to harm them, but I wouldn't be foolish enough to pet them or go around them without a gun. All it takes is for one of them to be hungry or feel threatened and you're fucked.
I know it’s a little late... but thank you so much...🍀🏴👍🙏
Beautiful stuff.
i can tell u this living in alaska u are faced with grumpy wild life alot. moose lots of moose. iv seen a few bears but not as many as one would think living in alaska.
Do the moose attack humans?
@@barbibutton9619 if they have a calf with them yes if u get to close. if its the rut season the males will attack. so yes.
Beautiful story. God Bless You!!
Never whistle in the woods at night...
Just perfectly beautiful.
Timothy had the same idea.......
Love Grizzly Bears. Pure power and very smart animals. We are truly defenseless without our arrogant tools as he mentioned. Another flavour of meat indeed!
Yea i did my metaphysical iky poos yesterday. Although a few people around once i got deep that was peaceful. Great vid.
Wonderful my wilderness brother
Thank you for your life.
I Beary much liked this video. 🐻🐻🐻
Cute
@@barbibutton9619 I bet you are too.
@@H43339 ty
After watching this I want to call you brother
Too short! Full of wisdom, when I watch a video like this one, I tell my self... maybe there is still hope for humanity.
Thanks for making this short film available for us to see.
Well said and understood.

Very inspirational, thank you!
This man said many good things which I agree with. Not all Humans are arrogant fools. You can't lump us all together like that with one stroke of the brush. This man is proof. Not all grizzlies are kind creatures. This man never said any of the character flaws of the Grizzly just of mankind as though man is not allowed to enter into the wilderness. Mankind is just as much a part of the land as animals. Putting mankind down isn't going to solve the problem. Some animals can be very selfish and if they don't get there way they will kill eachother and other animals to get it, if they can just like some people. This is the truth. I'm just saying man and animal can coexist without painting eachother as fools and insensitive for thinking different. Some animal rights people are too sensitive while other people aren't sensitive enough about the animals and the wilderness. I have always been a wilderness, animal and people lover all my life.
We save the grizzly bears - we save this planet- we save our own species.
Grizzly Bears are doing just fine even in the lower 48.
Just wow
Beautiful video
Bear: Ive got a strange feeling, like some Peacock is peeping on me
Very constructive . I believe everyone has a spirit animal. it’s important to embrace that. Thank you for your service to this country🇺🇸
Beautiful man !
What a suttle man.
Thank you 💗
This would be perfect for Mountain Film
Great story! Great floor mat!
Bless you sir
yep!
What a Amazing man ❤️
Awesome..Thanks Foreverything 💎💘💎💘
Edward Abbey said that everyman needs the wilderness to escape the madness of today,to get lost in and go crazy in to heal..And one time did you know he almost shook hands with a mountain lion? Hayduke Lives!!
Arohanui/Much love to this soulful man. 🌟💜💫
"Arm yourself with friendship and love the earth."
I found this somewhere. I've forgotten where. But I'm reminded of it:
"... John Fire Lame Deers (Lakota Holy Man) explanation of the Wichasha Wakan (Holy Man), "The Wichasha Wakan wants to be by himself. He wants to be away from the crowd, from everyday matters. He likes to meditate, leaning against a tree or a rock, feeling the earth move beneath him, feeling the weight of that big flaming sky upon him. That way he can figure things out. Closing his eyes, he sees many things clearly. What you see with your eyes shut is what counts. The Wichasha Wakan loves the silence, wrapping it around himself like a blanket - a loud silence with a voice like thunder which tells him many things. Such a man likes to be in a place where there is no sound but humming of insects. He sits facing the west, asking for help. He talks to the plants and they answer him. He listens to the voices of the wamakaskan, all those who move upon the earth, the animals. He is one with them. From all living being something flows into him all the time, and some thing flows from him." - Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions, John Fire Lame Deer and Richard Erdoes.
