Joe Rogan Experience #1060 - Remi Warren

Warren believes the only reason no one was mauled in the bear attack was that six people suddenly scattered in different directions, overwhelming the bear’s ability to single out a target—similar to how herd animals confuse lions.

Because they had seen no bears for days, the group relaxed basic safety habits—like keeping pistols on their person—which Warren now views as a critical mistake that nearly cost them their lives.

Warren admits he deliberately chooses brutal, low-odds, physically punishing hunts because the suffering, difficulty, and long odds are what make the experience meaningful in hindsight.

They argue that human development, habitat loss, invasive plants, and altered prey ranges mean apex predators like bears and wolves can’t self-regulate populations without devastating ungulates, forcing humans to actively manage both predator and prey.

Warren and Rogan describe how field-to-table experiences—tracking, killing, butchering, and cooking a specific animal—create a deep emotional connection and respect for meat that supermarket shoppers never feel.
