COZY, SNOWY DAYS AT CAMP in GRIZZLY BEAR COUNTRY | Living in a Trailer West Yellowstone | Van Life

[@John-Ontario]

I had a career of producing television programs, specials, movies and special events. I had the great pleasure of following a family of three grizzly bears for seven months, from the time they exited the den until they disappeared up the mountains to den up again. I witnessed incredible strength along with caring tenderness.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Wow! That is so awesome! I would love that.

[@traceytrotter9934]

I love bears so much. What an honor.

Bears are evil. Their behavior towards other bears and animals is absolutely disgusting. ​@@traceytrotter9934

Congratulations for your milestone of 100 000 subscribers. Your channel is about content ,not constant personal drama and meddling in other people’s business. All the best to you and we will be watching!

Your cooking must be great because Joey is still with you... OK kidding aside. Glad the truck is fixed, so glad Joey is with you. And there are no words left to tell you what everyone else has. You are a true treasure to all of us.

[@jackbyrd381]

I remember the video of the tour of your first truck camper, the changes you made, and the adjustments you were making to your new life. What a wonderful ride along with you these past 5 years. You have persisted while others threw in the towel. You 've shared how it isn't always easy and you 've shared places that many of us will be unable to go, and in such a skilled photographic way. Thank you.

[@diann546]

You reminded me of an experience with black bears, at Hidden Lake Campground, in Alaska. We had just finished air frying some halibut and not 15 minutes later 2 black bears showed up. I was so happy we were the only ones on that campsite level. On more normal days, there would be kids biking around, people out in tents and just out. I guess you just have to be prepared. What scared me was the number of children running, and biking around, not paying the slightest attention. We had many bears go through camp, including a mom with cubs. Never let your guard down. I wore bear spray all day, and finally took it off, as we were on our way back to the trailer, after a long day. The sun had set, fog had rolled in, and I just had to take a few shots of the scenery in foggy low light. I took the pictures and got back in to the truck. My husband said to me, "Is that a bear behind us?" Yes it was, not 15' away.

When I was in West Yellowstone a few years ago I saw a bear running down the street early in the morning on my way to the Running Bear Cafe.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

I feel very fortunate to have seen not only one, but so many. Some people never see one in their lifetime.

[@greatguy68901]

@@CatherineGregoryAdventures I've seen reports there has been a grizzly wondering around the south end of town in West Yellowstone this past week.

[@raoulpaoul4510]

My Great Uncle owned IP Bills Island in Island Park . We had an OG cabin on the lake growing up . Friday nights we woul go into West Yellowstone and watch the grizzlies rummage through the dump. The cowboys would come off the ranches and get drunk , taught the bears and run back into their trucks. Hunted , fished, floated , hiked , skied most of that tri state corner. Did many winter trips into the park on skis and “snow machines” In the 60’s. Last visited 2004 . We never had issues with bears as there just wasn’t that many people . Moose , that’s a whole different story. Happy trails, thanks for the trip back in time.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

That is so cool!! Thanks for sharing your memories my friend. :)

[@chas4life]

Something about this one really gave me goosebumps. Just ordinary living, with all the problems that come with it, but never losing one's SENSE OF ADVENTURE.. Thank you both 🙏

[@kanamichelle7404]

There was just a non fatal grizzly attack in the Wind River area SE of Jackson Hole. They are hungry this time of year, coming out of hibernation, and also protecting cubs. Great episode, and so beautiful there!

Yellowstone is truly one of the beautiful places on this continent that we are privileged to be able to visit with our camping trailer. And of course, nothing is better than a nice New York steak over the coals outdoors. Very relaxing video (except of course for the couple of minutes that recounted the misfortune one camper had with the Grizzly). Keep up the great work, and as always, safe travels.

The NY Times has an good article on the grizzly bear attack in Grand Teton National Park. The bear had a young cub. His bear-spray canister exploded after the bear bit into it. A helicopter was used to rescue him. He has been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

Great work, Cat! This reminds me of my own Yellowstone experience from 50 years ago . The morning of 6-6-74 dad and I awoke to 6" of snow blanketing the park. Quite a shock for a couple of south Texans! The best part was getting to see Old Faithful erupt with only a couple dozen other brave souls.

[@azdesertrat9104]

I NEVER get tired of seeing Yellowstone, even virtually 😊 I'd been there more than a dozen times with family and it NEVER gets old to me! What a treat to see a grizzly. I remember one time my oldest brother strongly felt the need to go as close as possible to a grizzly and then when he and the bear locked eyes my oldest sist and I began to pray (I actually started to cry!) and all of a sudden, the bear stopped and began to walk in the other direction. True story and miracle! The bear was less than 50 ft. from our brother! He has NEVER gotten that close to a wild animal since! Plus, when we got home, we told mom and dad and they ripped him a new one, so that played a role I'm sure 😊 Thanks for sharing. I think I need to visit Yellowstone and Glacier Park soon again.

Your channel is one that I have to watch, not just listen to because I know there will always beautiful footage in it. Thanks for sharing! We were full time for 3 years and decided to buy a house for more space…but quickly realized the mistake we made. We can’t afford to keep it and live on the road so we tried to sell it for two years but I guess we have to stay out because we didn’t get any interest, especially after we dropped the price. So strange! We finally took it off the market to do some work on not and try again another time. In the mean time, your channel helps to feed that part of me that needs to be out there.

It's exciting to see grizzlies around the Park, but it's equally exciting to note that they have been spotted in places where they haven't appeared in a long time. Earlier this spring, a female was spotted in the Bear Paw Mountains by Havre, where I'm from, and then she was spotted near Big Sandy.

Hey Pal Joey !!! ~ Congrats Cat. You did it ! Also, wanted to let you know 2 days ago David Paulides Can Am Missing Project entitled: "A Wife and Mother Disappears from a Rural Wisconsin..." from 4:00 David shows an Air Horn (described as an Emergency Horn) he picked up at an ID S&R store. Some say it could scare a bear off. And Jeff Nadolny's one time fairly frequent guest Gov't Agt Victor also recommended the Air Horn for bear and whatever elso. (Anyone who watches Jeff's channel knows) Victor also said the only really effective bear spray is the very expensive 100 dollar a can spray (price might be a bit higher now?) But the air horn might be a good not terribly costly investment just in case, plus it's light enough to stick somewhere handy. Happy adventuring. Cheers !
