Doug Peacock has lived a life few could imagine — from serving as a Green Beret medic in Vietnam, to spending decades alone among grizzlies in the wilds of Yellowstone, Glacier, and beyond.

A lifelong author, filmmaker, and conservationist, Doug’s story is one of survival, humility, and fierce love for the wilderness. In this intimate and powerful conversation with Scott Harris, he shares how encounters with grizzly bears helped him heal from the trauma of war and shaped a life of purpose and advocacy.

🐻 Highlights include:
🌲 Coming home from Vietnam and finding healing in the wild
📚 The making of Grizzly Years — now one of National Geographic’s “Top 100 Adventure Books of All Time”
🎥 Filming the PBS documentary Peacock’s War and The Beast of Our Time
🔥 Why he never carried a gun in grizzly country — and what those encounters taught him about courage
🌎 How climate change and habitat loss threaten North America’s great bears
💪 The fight to keep grizzlies protected and wild — and why it’s worth it

It’s a conversation about wilderness, redemption, and the quiet heroism of those who refuse to give up on wild things.
