Episode 21: GRIZZLY BEAR COUNTRY

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
CDT 2018. Dubois, WY. Dixie begins to hike alone, deeper into grizzly bear country. Carl: Great video as always. You had wind just about everywhere you went, and that means that your bear spray would only go in the direction of the wind, no matter which direction you pointed it. Please carry both bear spray and a suitable handgun. The extra weight is worth it. With luck, you will never need either, but the recent accounts of bear attacks have shown that bear spray is likely to result in harm or worse for people who went for the bear spray first to defend themselves against a bear charging at 30+ mph. Stay safe, we love your videos.

I've hiked all over griz country in Montana for 25 years. I've seen lions, black bears and wolves but never a griz. Walk with confidence and the critters will really leave you alone. I've seen 13 bears this fall including a momma with two cubs. Just sat there and watched them eating and they accepted my presence. Howled a wolf in last year and it just sat there watching me. If you show confidence most animals just accept you as more dominant.

Entomological fun aside. Thank you! I have watched since the beginning of your AT through hike I just have one question have you seen enough? I can't imagine it's amazing what you have done and shared with us. Will the next adventure be a car camping adventure relaxed and telling stories around the campfire?

I've had a grizzly encounter here in Canada. And I've had 2 other black bear encounters. For the most part, if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. But being bear aware is so necessary.

Is it me. Aaron either hates to be on camera, or thru hiking may not be his jam. LOL the withered look of him at the ready with his trigger on the bear spray cracked me up.

I was going camping here in AK. I had a tent in the back until I saw a huge grizzly just off the road.
I sent you a email today.

Yeah, you got really lucky with that mt. lion. A woman lost her life to one this past summer hiking alone here in Oregon.

What were you doing night hiking and crossing a roaring river? And you were afraid of encountering a
grizzly? Yikes!
