Jordan Jonas Field Dressed a Moose with Just a Leatherman

Did you find any root vegetables or any wild onions? Not much. There's not a lot of that up there. There's lichen, so I boiled reindeer lichen. Oh, that's good. What does that taste like? Real bland. It's really kind of acidic. It's not great for eating, but I would mix it with my moose meat just to get carbs, like some kind of carbs, maybe. That's what all the caribou eat, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's weird. It's weird, but you can turn into an animal, you know? Just take a pile of lichen and it turns into a reindeer. It's weird stuff, too, right? Yeah. So that was... You have no seasoning or anything, right? Right, but man, I got to tell you, I didn't... You know elk, too, but man, I didn't miss it at all. It was so good from the first bite to the last. Oh, moose. Moose is so delicious. Every time, you're just like, mmm. Just moose over fire. Yeah. Did you eat some of it raw? Yeah, like the liver. Did you eat that raw? Yeah, just for the extra boost. Did you have a knife, obviously? A Leatherman, yeah. Yeah. Oh, just a Leatherman. So you butchered the moose with a Leatherman? Yeah, yeah. Holy shit. How long did that take? Oh, I think I got the moose finally at noon and then I think I was done cutting it up and hauling it by like 10 o'clock that night. And do you have a sharpening stone or anything? Yeah, just a rock, you know. Just a regular rock? Do you find laying around? You sharped on that? Yeah, I find one. It looks like it might work well. Did it work? Yeah, yeah. We're good. Wow. That's so crazy to rely on a Leatherman, that little tiny-ass blade. Yeah, but he got only so many items, you know, and I wanted the wire cutters, I wanted the little saw for craft and stuff, you know. So I've figured if my worst problem is that I have a small knife to cut up a big game, I'll be pretty happy. Was there anything that you wished you brought that you didn't? Yeah, I would have taken probably a gill net instead of my saw. I took a saw and I almost never used it, but yeah, yeah. And you thought you wouldn't use it for trees or? Yeah, I just thought for, it'd just be a calorie saver rather than using your axe, but it was kind of a risk I took and it ended up not being worthwhile. That's pretty good though, one thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was nice for building, I built like a 12-foot tall cache where I stored all my moose meat and stuff. It was nice for that. So what other objects did you bring? You brought a tarp, you brought a fishing line. Fishing line, oh, there you go. Oh, there it is. Fucking James, the best. Farrow rod. What is a farrow rod? That's like that sparker, you know, you scrape it and it sparks. Oh, so that's how you started your fires? Yeah, yeah. Mm, fishing line and hooks, all barb, how many hooks did you have? 25. Ooh, that's scary. Nice chunk, but yeah, no, they go fast. 77 days, 25. That was down to my last ones. A bow and you're allowed nine arrows only. Yeah. Did you think about constructing arrows? Yeah, I thought, and I was thinking, by the time I got the moose, you know, it was early enough that I didn't really need to make arrows, but I was thinking, if I want to shoot more at squirrels, I better make some arrows. Trapping wire, what is that? That's just thin gauge wire, like 20 gauge wire. And would you use that for, for what? First snare and rabbits, I put hundreds of snares out and then I built, you know, for building my fishing pole, stuff like that. And did enough sleeping bag. Yeah, sleeping bag. Brought a fucking warm sleeping bag, right? Minus 40 and then you heat up rocks, throw it in there with you, you know, stuff. Yeah, and then a multi-tool, crazy, you didn't bring a knife, just a multi-tool, wow. I guess that makes sense though, if I was looking at that list, like what would I take off for a knife? Yeah, it's kind of redundant. If you didn't have the saw, what would you take, if you didn't have the saw? I probably would have taken a gill net, I ended up making a gill net out of the paracord, but I think that would have been useful. Wow, it's crazy, you only get 10 things. Yeah, it puts the pressure on for sure. Oh my goodness, it does. So once you shot the moose and you knew you had all that meat and then what did you do with your time after that? Oh, I kept busy, I just always assumed somebody else was gonna get something, so I was just like, you know, I'd spent a lot of time right after getting the moose, like preserving it, smoking it, trying to store it where it would be safe, because everywhere you put it, something's getting it, you hang it in trees and the birds are pecking it, you know, everybody's going for it. Did you have a tarp that you could cover it with? Well, I only had the tarp for my shelter and that would have been, that was an item I also thought, had I known I was gonna get something big, it would have been nice to have a tarp, but. Yeah. Yeah, it was a lot of work protecting my meat, but then also just continued fishing, continued, you know, all that kind of stuff. And after you got the Wolverine out of the picture, was there any other animals like that? I thought, man, after I got the Wolverine, I was so happy, I was like, yes, I just gotta eat and live, and then like two days later, I was sitting there frying up some meat, and I haven't been able to find on the internet a good Wolverine sound, but. Another one came though? Another one came and I just hear it out in the woods and now it's like a witch in the woods. It's just like, nah! And I was like, oh, did I, I was like just praying, like, oh, I think I made that up, right? I didn't really hear that. Like a dream. But sure enough, he started coming around, but we have regulations, right? So you can't kill, you can only kill one Wolverine. So I was like, yeah. Then I was just on defense mode, trying to set up, like, I'd like set up all these cans so that when I walked through with the, you know, it clank and then I'd wake up and chase them. Chase it away. Shut that camera off. We're going commando on this fucking Wolverine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
