This guy needs to write a book. His voice would be perfect for narrating the Audio version. Hopefully, the Meateater crew can help him with getting a book published...soon!
This gentlemen has an incredible rhythmic cadence to his story telling. Kudos to Steve and the rest of the crew to allow his stories to percolate, breathe and develop. This is one of the reasons Meateater is second to none. The long-form interviews with limited interruptions, coupled with the in-depth dialogue really provides you with an experience like you’re almost there with him on his journey. Please have this man back on again. He has so much to share and his experiences are invaluable. He’s articulate, intelligent and so well-spoken. That’s a rare combination in this day and age. Thanks for the outstanding content all year, Meateater crew. Corrine and Phil deserve a raise. The production quality they add to all of your content is invaluable. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, etc. to the entire crew. I truly appreciate the entertainment your platform provides.
Bring this guy back!! I want to hear more stories! I was late for work because I was day dreaming about what it was like to be in his shoes while on his adventures!
I am from the UK, a small island where we have none of this, the distances i still can't comprehend and i am 70 yrs old now, i sat and listened enthralled, i didn't want this to end!! Could this gentleman please do another podcast? Such an engaging person. Thank you.
I understand the draw of the Chris McCandless story, but big thanks to Meat Eater for giving folks like this a platform. Such amazing stories of survival and also how many have perished in this landscape. Awesome episode.
Only half finished listening and this might be my favorite. Great stories of a fascinating life. Pleasantly surprised to hear a story about Nondalton. Writing this comment from about 10 miles down the Newhalen from Nondalton. Finishing up my 20th year of bush Ak teaching. I’m sure folks remember you and your wife, Randy. Thanks Meateater
I could listen to this guy forever. So interesting! He needs his own show or a documentary of some kind. Best guest you’ve ever had on as far as I’m concerned!! Loved it!
This is the most fascinating, compelling, amazing story and gentleman i have ever heard of on this pod or anywhere ever for that matter. Need a book or movie on this guy. What an inspiration, to be living like that, during those years when he didnt have to. crazy brutal, yet amazing life.
How dare you say merry Xmas!! It's happy Holidays!!! ..😂😂 jk jk ..God im so happy to see people say that more an more with the woke culture slowly being tossed aside 😂..MERRRRRY XMAS Fellas !!!!!
Great guest, great episode. No surprise he did great in college and has had a great career. The guy who doesn't think he is the smartest guy in the room is usually the smartest guy in the room. Mr. Brown will be back in a future episode for certain.
Wow 🤩! Great 👍🏽 guest appearance! Your Brother was right! Hope there will be a second one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Meat Eater Crew! Thanks for all the years of great entertainment with your Podcast of cool folks & Fighting the good Fight!
GET THIS MAN BACK ON FOR ANOTHER EPISODE PLEASE!!!! Im curious if Sam Minard or Jeremiah Johnson resonates with him! I’m also curious about some backwoods know how! Awesome episode Steve!
Steve’s answer to the marriage advice 😂☠️ really glad to hear he has experienced so much most people wont experience of multiple lifetimes, before his vision started declining
Amazing podcast! And I'm not a podcast-watching guy but this caught my attention, started it then I couldn't turn it off. And the request by Steve of possibly getting Randy back for a 'tactical, backwoods know-how and the nuances of just surviving in the wild', that would be something to hear.
I went to alaska for the first time in 2024 and went almost as far up the taylor highway as he's talking about there at eagle... Unrivaled wilderness. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
I think the issue with what happened with Dr. Kendall, was not that he brought up an issue with parasites in quail in parts of their range; it’s that he said “We have found the ‘silver bullet’ of bobwhite population decline”. That statement is where most draw issue.
27 years in Willow Alaska raised a family of 4. Lots of stories. Radio Free Big Lake used to broadcast personal messages to homesteaders, once a week. Then we would know if someone was coming to visit. It was the only form of communication we had
Best podcast all year! Bring him back just to tell Alaska stories. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He gave Buck Boden some competition for coolest guest ever.
You should get this guy for MeatEater Campfire stories. Just finished "close calls". I have the other ones lined up. This guy has to have some close call / narrow escape style stories.
Ashamed to say I unsubscribed from this channel as the content was wearing too thin and I wasn’t watching the majority of things posted. I read this episode was a return to form. Hopefully this guy appears on audible somewhere, he has the gift for it, like Bowden.
I definitely would LOVE to hear more from Mr Brown! I could listen to his stories of living out in the middle of Gods country till he got tired of talking!
@TheMeatEater Please ask Randy to bring his wife on the next time.. She has to have stories to rival Randy’s and we would all like to know what she was thinking as she’s a new bride paddling into the wilderness unknown..😮😅
Podcast guest of the year. Hands down.
Agreed!
This podcast is more than 2hrs long and it still felt rushed. We need more!
200% need another podcast with this gentleman
This guy needs to write a book. His voice would be perfect for narrating the Audio version. Hopefully, the Meateater crew can help him with getting a book published...soon!
Need this guy back. Could listen to this guy for days

Best podcast from y'all in a long time! This guy needs more time to talk.
INCREDIBLE podcast.
As soon as he said Randy Brown I'm like, Hey he was in that Nat Geo special Braving Alaska, same as Heimo Korth.
Amazing podcast! And I'm not a podcast-watching guy but this caught my attention, started it then I couldn't turn it off.
And the request by Steve of possibly getting Randy back for a 'tactical, backwoods know-how and the nuances of just surviving in the wild', that would be something to hear.
We all agree that we want to hear more from this man. His story is fantastic and mesmerizing!
Best podcast I think yall have ever done thanks guys well done.
What a gentleman.That was GREAT.
If you can convince John, we need a meat eater short film of him.
Best podcast to date. I could listen to his stories all day.
By far the best one yet. Get him back on there, my next favorite has been the quail episode.
One of the best episodes so far. Gotta have him back.

This is the most interesting man I've ever listened to.

you need to have a round 2 or 3 with this gentleman!!!!!!!! best podcast in a while
I think the issue with what happened with Dr. Kendall, was not that he brought up an issue with parasites in quail in parts of their range; it’s that he said “We have found the ‘silver bullet’ of bobwhite population decline”. That statement is where most draw issue.
Interesting how the dogs reacted, not surprised…
27 years in Willow Alaska raised a family of 4. Lots of stories. Radio Free Big Lake used to broadcast personal messages to homesteaders, once a week. Then we would know if someone was coming to visit. It was the only form of communication we had
The comment thread says it all. Great guest, could listen to an autobiography of his for sure!
