    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.

    Aren’t Montana winters rather cold? I would have been interested in hearing more about how she copes with them, and especially how she managed to when she only had a tarp to live in. Also curious about what she eats, whether she makes cheese with her goats’ milk, whether she owns or rents the land she grazes the goat on and lives on or if it’s land that’s free to use and live on, and also how she covers her expenses, eg. Veterinary care for her goats, food, etc.

      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?

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.

    Callie is an amazing woman. I watched her on Alone and thought, "Gawd I wish she was 20 years older or I was 20 years younger".. Her ideals, her spirit. her love of all things mother earth is so in tune with this old man trapped in a society I can't stand. Eva I'm glad you learned something from her. She has a lot to teach about appreciating the "simple things". All the best to you on your journey and all the best to Callie.

    What comes around goes around.
    Back in the counter culture early 70's quite a few individuals, couples and groups tried the 'alternative' off the grid lifestyle by starting up or going to live on 'hog farms'.
    There were numerous publications that offered advice and help in that and I believe the most successful was a thick, heavy newspaper type printed publication called 'Mother Earth News'. I think it stills operates online.

    Great episode Callie is really connected to the earth. She is doing life right. I think that you are also drawn to that, the earth calls to you. I remember sleeping on the ground at grandma's house with dirt floors. She would sweep the dirt floors and sprinkle water on them to keep the dust down. I can still remember the smell, kind of like rain. I think it is in all our DNA.

    "I had this sense of mortality" THAT is exactly how I feel. My brother died when I was 16, he was 19. It wrecked me. Ive secluded myself and I feel soo at peace when I'm out in the wilderness, it feels so right. Everything else in life feels so foreign and I'm slowly understanding I need to follow that happiness to feel alive again.

I understand!... we used to take the goats by the coast to lick the salt off the rocks... they need it... this is how life used to be in rural Greece [and still is in some places..] all normal...

    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
      @gregweatherup9596 Год назад +2

      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?

    Thanks for introducing us to Callie, I hadn't heard her story before. What is exciting for me is to see her thriving on a diet of mostly goat milk. I have a share of 1 gallon per week of raw goat milk and have often fantasized about making the milk along with kefir a dominant portion of my diet but was hesitant because it feels extreme. It's inspiring to see her agility and health clearly appears to do well with goat milk. Makes me feel that desire is a good one to follow through with.

    • @scottrichardson8158

    • @Anonymoose66G
      @Anonymoose66G Год назад +3

      @@scottrichardson8158 calm doen, raw milk is fine most of the time and it's extremely common in many countries, it's also better for you than pasteurized milk, there is an increased risk of bacterial/viral infection which is why its considered more dangerous but as long as you vaccinate the animal and remain observant of their health and cure/quarantine them if need be it should br fine.

      @elerian9702 Год назад

      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.

    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.
