The conversation moves into wildlife management, invasive species, predator–prey dynamics, and how modern conservation is funded and often misunderstood. Remi shares intense survival and near-death stories, including lightning strikes, cliff mishaps, aggressive bears, and the dramatic search-and-rescue of the woman who later became his wife. They close by reflecting on parenting, why difficult hunts feel so meaningful, and how Remi’s “Live Wild” philosophy shapes his life, podcast, and solo-filmed hunts.

Joe Rogan and hunter–guide Remi Warren talk through Remi’s recent wrist surgery, adaptive archery, and the physical realities of hunting with injuries.

Key Takeaways
Train around injuries instead of stopping completely.
Remi kept shooting by using a mouth tab and modified gear after major wrist surgery, showing that creative adaptations (hooks, straps, mouth tabs) can maintain skills and fitness while healing.
Wildlife management decisions should be science-based, not emotion-driven.
Examples like California’s mountain lion policy, over-abundant predators, and wild horse protection show how feel-good bans can worsen deer declines, predation, and habitat damage when biology is ignored.
Habitat quality and availability are the foundation of conservation.
From CRP programs and prairie reserves to Nevada’s booming sheep numbers, they emphasize that preserving and restoring habitat does more for wildlife than any single hunting rule or predator cull.
Invasive species can permanently reshape ecosystems and are nearly impossible to reverse.
Axis deer in Hawaii, pythons in Florida, iguanas, feral hogs, and cats in Australia all demonstrate how a few introductions or escaped pets can erase native wildlife and create unfixable management problems.
Real risk in wild places often comes from terrain and weather, not just animals.
Remi’s scariest experiences involve cliffs, fast rivers, and a childhood lightning strike; he considers falls and exposure more dangerous than even aggressive bears in many backcountry situations.
Staying put and conserving energy can be lifesaving when lost.
His future wife survived nearly three days in high desert by not wandering aimlessly; Remi found her by trusting tiny clues, calling out systematically, and applying hunter-style tracking and terrain reading.
Suffering and difficulty are central to why some hunters value the experience.
Both men describe arduous, cold, and physically demanding hunts as emotionally transformative; the hardship makes the meat, the memory, and the personal growth feel profoundly different than easy “harvests.”
Notable Quotes
“I like that wild feeling of being out there and doing something in the wild that maybe other people aren’t doing.”
— Remi Warren
“Predators are super efficient at managing populations. When you don’t have those predators, then humans have to be that predator.”
— Joe Rogan
“You could have all the animals in the world, but if you don’t have that habitat, you have nothing.”
— Remi Warren
“If you only have your legs to use, it’s incredible the kind of dexterity that people can develop.”
— Joe Rogan
“It was like a lifetime of spending my entire life looking for things that are hard to find and then using it in a way that was more beneficial than anything else I’d ever done.”
— Remi Warren (on finding his missing future wife)
