Camping & Searching For BEARS On The Kern River

The Kern River in California is such a beautiful place. Camping and exploring in this area, there were no crowds. I also went on a mission looking for Bears!! Did I find one?

Who that’s a lot of dead trees 🌲,wow, crazy man no water up in that tree area thanks BigAl California

[@lhollybow]

Always wanted to go up the Kern River , so thanks. Only seen it around Bakersfield and didn't realize what a rocky , whitewater river it was.

[@kenp9469]

You sure know, the most beautiful places.

[@jjolly2426]

Hi Sarah: Happy to see you back in nature! Your demeanor sure shows how you relate to nature. Best wishes to you and Lil One.......go to Yellowstone to see lots of wild animals! Enjoy your couple days off the grid. Be careful. ❤

[@COALCREEK780]

One of your most beautiful videos! I really liked the fish store comment lol. I'm not bein a smarty pants but there's an older song that says "Don't go in there, you best beware, and please don't feed the f@!#ing bears!"

[@tortugalisa4748]

That was a very relaxing video, soothed my soul😊 I loved the waterfall and the sounds of the river flowing. Those sequoias were real amazing, I loved the two together as if they were a couple in love 18:00 ❣️ Wish we could have all seen a bear together 💯

[@peanuttube605]

As I watched this I thought of that country song by Merle Haggard: I'll never swim Kern River again...I grew up in an oil town but my gusher never came in...

[@eirikolesen48]

This river is where the golden trout are natives and originally from. Beautiful

[@stephend.mixell2042]

Magnificent views and the sound of rushing water is in dead peaceful. Enjoy and be safe .😊👍🖐

[@lesliebyrum8934]

This video truly relaxes me❤

Looks beautiful and very peaceful. Much needed for you ❤ Thank you for sharing

[@shelbyburgey884]

Yep gotta see them Bears! Probably laying in the shade or in a pool of water through the daytime hours? ! Hope you get to see them! Thanks for the video and have a good day!

Thank you for taking me and everyone on a trip with you, your so awesome!! And i love seeing you & your precious fur baby..❤️

[@A.girl.and.her.dog_]

I finally got a bear on MY camera. Come to Colorado or Northern Arizona every summer and bear are such beautiful, majestic creatures. My dog and I were outside the van, I was brushing my teeth, my dog taking his morning poop, then he starts barking. I just figured it was a deer, but it was a bear. He was close. Very close. By the time I got my dog in the van and got my camera, he had crossed the road to the trail. Now I can die happy. Enjoy your quiet time. I, like you, need my alone time. Colorado is my favorite state but thank you for this video. I have been there before but will definitely head that way again soon. Hugz and love to you and Little One❤️ Be true to yourself ALWAYS

[@dianejohnson1991]

I love water… any kind of. Especially when it gives off sounds.

[@VideosOffRoad]

My favorite videos you make are like this one, where you go explore someplace new. ❤😊

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Exquisite location 🎉 Crowds freak me out. Peace.

The Kern River...my younger days stomping grounds...some great memories made there Sarah.

[@charlesreynolds2798]

Thanks for sharing love the adventures.

[@jonnygrizz]

Wow, indeed! Just gorgeous! The scenery in this video was a real treat and the music enhanced that. It took me away for a bit and I needed that. I get you about the crowds, how draining that can be, and the need for alone time. Nature truly is therapy. Thank you for sharing. Stay positive!

[@richardhernandez9991]

love the sound of the river

[@susieque52]

Beautiful scenery, I love waterfalls and sequoia trees as well...I'm a proud tree hugger 😍 Thank you Sarah 💜

[@underthetornado]

I grew up camping on the Kern River. Beautiful country!❤

[@ST1300Jim]

The Kern River is beautiful for sure. But be extremely careful in and around the water. As a teenager I knew an older lady who lost her first husband on a camping/fishing trip - they never found his body. Then as I got older I had a friend who was camping next to one of those waterfalls, and he went into the water to cool down and wipe off the grime after a hot day. He slipped, and slid down the falls, hitting his right elbow on a rock. He managed to make his way back to camp where they bandaged him up to enough to stop the bleeding, but his teenage niece had to drive him down to the hospital in Bakersfield. His elbow never healed right…

[@chrisfinnegan8370]

👋 Jeepsy, beautiful land , Kern River nice ! Great swimming spots , noisy white water 💧. BEAUTIFUL AMERICA !

[@markhenry7655]

Beautiful place to clear your mind body and spirit. Take all the time you need...I know that area very well Just enjoy ...BREATHE...

[@jamesdoyle4985]

And when you respect that it’s completely satisfying to be at one with the power and the beautym

[@pursleydl2009]

As far as bears go.... Be careful what you wish for. Stay safe.

[@breezegeddes7854]

I remember the Kern River so well back in the '70s. We used to go there on motorcycle runs. The Kern River is beautiful.

[@A.girl.and.her.dog_]

I finally got a bear on MY camera. I’ve seen 4 in 4 years, but never have my camera ready. I Come to Colorado or Northern Arizona every summer and bear are such beautiful, majestic creatures. My dog and I were outside the van, I was brushing my teeth, my dog taking his morning poop, then he starts barking. I just figured it was a deer, but it was a bear. He was close. Very close. By the time I got my dog in the van and got my camera, he had crossed the road to the trail and I followed alongside the road with my camera in hand. Now I can die happy. Enjoy your quiet time. I, like you, need my alone time. Colorado is my favorite state but thank you for this video. I have been there before but will definitely head that way again soon. Hugz and love to you and Little One❤️ Be true to yourself ALWAYS They stay away from humans for the most part but early in the morning is when you are more likely to see them. Be safe.

[@LonnieSkaggs]

The kern river is so beautiful, I have been there one time.. Love the video, happy belated birthday to little one 🎉. Thank you for sharing your videos.. We really enjoy watching them brings back good memories 🙏

[@PhyllisGarcia-cf7fz]

Oh Sarah this is definitely one of my favorite places you've gone to for your nature therapy!! If this beautiful serene place with it's flowing river and waterfalls doesn't cure and fix the soul.... nothing will. 🥴 My gosh it's a beautiful spectacular place! If I camped there, it would be for several days for sure. I hope that while you were there that you soaked up enough nature to get you through the rough times ahead with your friend? I'm glad you took some time for yourself because you too need to take care of yourself. May you continue to stay strong 💪 for your friend and help him through his issues. God bless you 🙏 for being such a good friend to those who may need your support and help. A million thanks for sharing this video of which has now become one of my favorite places you've gone to!! All the best to you always, and that includes "Lil One." Happy trails Sarah! 👍😎💕

[@Outdoorgypsy]

So pretty! Happy to hear you got a little “nature” break!

[@JerseyGypsy]

Absolutely beautiful!!! Sounds like you needed the peace and quiet that nature provided!!! ❤

[@TyroneTumblin-xf9df]

I can feel you on a lot that you have said, I myself have lost that peace. And now as I work on moving forward to get that back, it seems like everything gets in the way. I know you will get your peace.

[@Cosmoo6208]

Sarah, thanks for the video, beautiful country. Hope you are well, just do your best everyday. Godspeed

[@CalvinMorris-cf8jk]

Kern River kicks butt.

[@paulbyrumii2155]

I love this video, the waterfalls, the trees, the river, the rocks, never been up there. Does a lot for my soul.

Winnie the Pooh is always partial to honey, give that a try. But stay safe don't get stuck in the jar. The river is nice thank you ALL.

The beauty and the sound of the river must certainly do your heart good ❤

[@alkennedy1124]

Big snakes too are there, lol be on the look out, no more lives in Portrait mode, you are the only one that is be forced to be in that mode, lol looks like the water is higher I hope they let Isabella fill up, I once was camping in that area , and stepped on a yellow jacket nest, 22 stings later in the kern valley hospital, was crazy , thanks BigAl California.

[@PulpParadise]

Your time away has done you good; you look much more rested and at peace in today's video. Regarding putting nature and your well being first, I get it. And when it comes to family / close friends, we have to decide for ourselves where our boundaries lie. Nobody else can do that for us, and most people just won't get involved which can leave us feeling like we're the only one who can do things for them. There are professionals for that role, but there's no guarantee with that either. And some of us are more likely to want to be there for them. It's a very tough decision and deciding to be there leads to more tough decisions throughout that time. Make sure you get time to yourself daily to enjoy nature, meditate, walk on that gorgeous beach, whatever you can do to help yourself as well. Caregiving can be devastating to your psyche and you have the tools to help yourself; make sure you remember to use them. ❣ The Kern River looks amazing! Regarding that salmon idea...uh, no. I've seen pictures of vehicles that bears tore into because they could smell the food inside and it wasn't pretty. You definitely don't want to do that to your Jeep. I hope you hugged those trees! It does both of you a world of good. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, as always. P. S. Completely off topic but have you ever thought about wrapping / painting everything on your roof white? White reflects light and black absorbs it. The temperature difference in your Jeep would be significant and it would make it far more comfortable for both you and Lil' One. I painted the full-size van I had (hunter green) white and the difference was amazing. Professional paint jobs are expensive but you can DIY it, especially the roof, if need be. They make spray paint for plastic as well, so you could do that to your storage boxes instead. Food for thought.

[@williamdavis8161]

There's something calming about flowing water. That's why i bought a house with a river in my front yard.

[@pursleydl2009]

You are looking well, rested, and contented. Your skin is beautiful. Your countenance is radiant. I'm glad you're doing better. Nature agrees with you.

[@jamescombs7815]

HI Sarah, that's what I call God's country and I know you can see what I mean. Good to see your video again, been having some Internet issues. May God bless you and your family and friends. Enjoy yourself and take care of yourself.

[@CCaddy]

The Kern is great! Good trout fishing and beautiful camp sites.

[@CCaddy]

Kind of far south for bears though. Near ....but North to the meadows.

[@normanhowe-gl2tq]

Water is magic-----enjoy and take in the calming effects it gives!!!!!!!!

[@gregzeigler6244]

Very beautiful area. I think your best bet on seeing any bears would be to hit Yellowstone. Some one is always catching a bear crossing the road. Safe travels for you and little one and still praying your friend beats his battle with cancer 🙏😊

[@PulpParadise]

I forgot to mention the bears! (Thanks, Greg!) @NomadicIntrovert just drove the AlCan to Alaska and she saw a lot of bears just grazing next to the highway. Not sure if you have your passport @WanderingJeepsy Sarah, but you can always do that as well.

[@michaeljimenez1203]

Lived in California all my life till recently(67), never been to the Kern River. Heard all my friends talk all about it though. But I will get there one day now that I'm retired. And I also like to see that section of Ancient Giant Sequoias, or is it Redwoods, that you have to hike to, to see them. You looked so relieved, sitting in your element. You need to get out more.😊 Safe Travels.

[@sheilamann9713]

So beautiful!😊❤️

[@Katseye102]

I was hoping for a live! Because I actually caught this one! Well, this video. It’s amazing you happen to find these gorgeous areas…..great place to just sit and observe nature, soothes the soul……🥰🥰🥰

[@cornbred0327]

Glad u went out and got in nature and got balanced. Been busy but trying to catch em stay safe

[@dutchman6969]

Sarah, I'm so proud of you and seeing the happiness of your spirit lit up out in nature! I know you will get back on the road to it eventually my friend!! The Mighty Kern river and Sequoia trees can certainly fill one's soul with peace and tranquility. I know because I've needed it as well to refill my inner being!! Beautiful drive and sharing your thoughts and yes you can scare the bears 🐻 away😂!! Your so funny!!

[@michaeljimenez1203]

Everybody knows, if you want to see a bear, you need to go to a Pic-N-Nic Area.(Yogi Bear) Man I'm Old. Say Hi To Boo Boo.

[@OU-tn4nt]

Amazing video as always Sarah and such beautiful scenery and thank you for sharing it with us and we appreciate you and everything that goes into making these amazing video. Hello from Calabasas and keep up the amazing work and stay safe Sarah. Thanks again ✌️😉

[@SpacyMidnight]

And NO bears ! 😂 I am so scared of bears. I’ve had nightmares ever since childhood so I’m glad you didn’t hang that salmon up 😂❤

[@ronaldmason7053]

Don't know if you've tried fly fishing, but the Kern River is an excellent river for trout. You would need to have someone show you the basics, but the great benefit while fishing is you need to concentrate and it can take your mind away from everything else. Golf is like that - you totally concentrate when hitting a shot. Same thing with downhill skiing - you focus your mind in full on the next turn, then the next turn.

[@M.Martin-t8f]

Those calm at peace periods help us manuver the active stressful ones.

[@dalehead5397]

Very nice video ! Easy to watch and beautiful scenery...no bears yet but I'm sure they've seen you. Keep up the good work you're doing , you're getting better and better .

[@danielhaupt8585]

Very scenic area,Im considering camping in that area on my upcoming vacation. Thanks for making the video.

[@jbgood7694]

It's an awesome river and place. You go from desert to mountains and tall pine trees. It's such a dangerous river. Last year after the record snow falls, I was driving along the river and there was a red kayak wrapped around a tree. A sheriff was parked on the side of the road and that section had orange cones along the side to prevent parking. A week later I read in the news that a body had been recovered from that red kayak. It was there 43 days. It took that long for the water level to go down so that the body/kayak could be safely recovered. Enjoy those majestic mountains.

[@garylafreniere9194]

❤ oh, no, Sara don’t put a fish on your jeep just be in nature if it was meant to be, you will see a bear that smiles at you. Be careful Bears can be dangerous. Please be careful you’re my best friend Gary.❤❤

[@davidemm829]

I can feel it..I can feel you..

[@John-Nada]

What surprises me is how few beaver are left. They should be in every stream, creek, river.

You are right I have only seen one beaver from Lake Isabella all the way to the California Hot Springs

Long time watching first time commenting..... my friend call me Yaro. And I must say you are Awesome in every respect of the world.

[@DavidPaxton-tj1wt]

I've seen all the bears I ever want to see! , I went on a couple thousand mile car camping trip many years ago sleeping in a tent. Sure glad I made sure I followed all the right rules every time I saw them walking around my tent sniffing the air. Looking for something eat.

[@BryanKale777]

Thank you Sarah I am off-grid using solar and starlink on a 50-inch TV in high-def in the forest off-grid with no cell phone service in the middle of nowhere and you have a great camera I love it

[@judizzstuff]

That place has so many memories for me some good some bittersweet. I was just there a few weeks ago and then went to the trail off 100 giants in the sequoias. I too get overwhelmed by too many people. Yet sometimes I miss some company. I'm pretty sure that is why I watch your channel I can identify.

[@Anonymous-wj9re]

This music and the driving scene reminds me of the game Road96!

[@judizzstuff]

Speaking of bears I've been up and down looking for bears to see then when I worked at mtn high ski resort of all places in wrightwood California I was driving my old soft top 4 cylinder white wrangler jeep one day near dusk when I spotted the biggest black bear ever. He was literally the size of the dumpster in the resort parking lot. I was alone and it was spooky and silent he gave me a look and a sniff in the air and then slowly ambled away back towards the ski lift.

[@jamesdoyle4985]
