Eaten Alive in Grizzly Country + Learn Mountain Photography

[@filton12]

The old joke is: In bear country wear a bell to let the bears know you're there and so you don't startle them Carry pepper spray to ward off an attack. You can tell which bears are in the area by their scat. Black bear scat is smaller and has seeds from the fruit they eat. Grizzly bear scat is much larger, contains bells and smells of pepper.

Absolutely fantastic - or should I say 'tressmendous'. So funny, and what a wonderful story telling hike and video. As for the beauty of the landscape and the images - glorious. Amanda is a delight. Such a funny and good-natured lady. You two are such a great team. I just love this video. Thanks guys.

The officers weren’t too happy though.

I live in Herefordshire in the UK so no mosquito's here. What you need is a hand held battery operated travel fan. Clip it onto the tripod or near as with a flexible arm in front of the lens and no more having to wave your hand about. Especially when you need to run away from casting your own shadow, unless you have got 10 foot long arms LOL. I love you you guys.
