Running From Bison in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Running From Bison in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
*WARNING. THIS CONTAINS PROFANITY*
My ol buddy Justin & I head west to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Our mission was to hike in a ways and wild camp for some Astro Photography. We had a hiccup as an ornery old Bull decided to crash out camp. It was a bit surreal, but we did manage a few night shots.
Thanks for watching. Cheers.

That was wild. That Buffalo was a bully. Lol. He was like this is my area and get the Hell out. Glad your ok my friend. Great shots of the nighttime sky 👍🏻👍🏻

[@robpelton]

Thanks Jason! It was crazy, but in a good way. Kind of. Maybe. Lol.

[@JUANORQUIO]

W❤️W! That’s Awesome! Cheers for more exciting and incredible adventures!🥂❤️✨

[@robpelton]

Thanks Juan! I really appreciate it.

[@ecttreker9816]

Very nice👍👍 I think Bryce was only forkin' with ya 😂 ........but I can see why you wouldn't want to test that theory!

[@robpelton]

Nah. I was talking shit to Bryce and he called my tough guy bluff. Haha. Thanks for watching!

[@SignalOutdoors]

Epic adventure man! 🤙 Way to not die. Lol I'm glad you got out safely. 🍻

[@robpelton]

Haha! It was crazy. Thanks Aaron!

[@JeremiahStringer]

That is crazy!!!

[@robpelton]

Bryce wasn’t digging my charm…

[@chuckwagn4192]

Great vid! Haha Justin looked legit worried 🤣

[@robpelton]

Uh…he was. Haha.

[@janiedillingham3190]

I think Bryce just wanted to be petted. LOL!! Glad you didn't have trouble with him, whatever he wanted.

[@robpelton]

We probably would’ve been fine, but we played it overly safe. Haha. Thanks Janie!

[@coinclecter]

Awesome place, well worth a visit.

[@robpelton]

I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for watching!

[@Tom-tt1vg]

Wow Rob , I saw your interview on the Backpacking podcast with Jeremiah and had to check out this bison chasing you down a somewhat cliff and you videoed the whole thing. Brave and awesome. You got some Balls man

[@robpelton]

Ha! It was a bit harrowing for a moment there. My buddy was freaked out, but we survived with lessons learned. Thanks for watching!

[@TheAdventuresofEli]

Beautiful Park! Totally jealous lol Bison are territorial for sure, no joke.. Crazy lol RUNNN FOREST!! THE VIEW THOUGH!! Worth it lol to wake up to Neighbors… or not lol Glad ya’ll are okay.

[@robpelton]

Thanks! They really majestic primitive beasts that deserve respect. Haha.

[@outdooradventureswithshane3319]

Holy crap dude that was an epic adventure. I would have crapped my pants too!!!

[@robpelton]

Looking back, I had a great time. My buddy sees it differently. 😬

[@Ontrail82]

Man I’m out in the woods dispersed camping watching this video and the suspense of that bison was great! I was laughing, I was in shock, at times I stood up out of my camp chair and was like “oh hail no!” lol …then the pics at the end…just epic man. Great video, I had fun watching 😎

[@robpelton]

Haha! I can picture that. Thanks Swag!

[@blackfox2885]

Bryce just needed someone to cuddle with and you guys just left him hanging. Lol, glad you made it out safe to tell the tale. When it comes to a 3K lb lump of horn, hoof, and muscle, playing it safe and bailing is always the best option so don't beat yourself up about if you made the right call. I've seen deer mess people up during the rut, I don't want to see how a bison would do it.

[@robpelton]

Bryce is just misunderstood. My action propelled his insecurities I’m sure. I need to be better!

[@carlip]

I'm heading out there Friday for a couple days. I wasn't sure how many buffalo there are, but seeing that changes how I pick a camping spot!

[@andrewmerchain3853]

Yeah... he did look like a Bryce, what a D-bag lol. Glad you're doing well. Love the content. Keep pushing Rob!

[@robpelton]

Thanks Andrew! Can’t experience these things sitting on the couch. Lol.

[@mutestyles]

All those petrified tree's are almost as old as Midwest backpacker

[@robpelton]

Close….👌🏽

[@KUEHLKUEST]

Perfect timing! We are headed there next month and was not expecting this outcome! So glad you called 911 and thx for headsup about rattlesnakes UGH!! Great vid Rob and thanks! Cheers C & J

[@robpelton]

The rut should hopefully be over by then. We didn’t see any rattlers. All in all..a good trip. I think you’ll love it!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

What a story dude!

[@robpelton]

It was nuts. My buddy was trippin. Stay sexy Buckley!

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

Wow so glad you all are ok and he didn't try anything. I'd been crying I'm sure. Great footage though. Beautiful scenery.

[@robpelton]

We probably would’ve been fine, but I wasn’t gonna wait and find out! Haha.

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

@@robpelton can't say I blame you! Better safe then hurt or worse!

[@craigrichardson5223]

Always enjoy your videos and commentary

[@robpelton]

Thank you!

[@markcummings6856]

Yikes! But I’d do that 7 hour drive to experience what you did! Awesome little trip. Great video.

[@robpelton]

Thanks Mark! Bryce ended up being tougher than me. Haha!

[@safromnc8616]

Very much appreciate you wandering off the beaten path - exactly the kind of places I look for - Thanks man ! Bison are no joke, I'm w/you, those guys are very tempermental.

[@robpelton]

I enjoy finding wild places. Even with the threat of doom. Haha. Thanks for watching!

[@safromnc8616]

@@robpelton Honestly that would be one of the things I would be most scared of....More so than bears, snakes, etc. altho I guess moose are supposed to be the worst.

Careful man, Dakota bison will steal your pants.

How’s that a bad thing? Haha.

[@markthiel2953]

Beautiful scenery. Glad you made it out alive. We visited the Badlands this past May. The bison are impressive and intimidating. I always appreciate your adventures. Thanks for sharing them

[@robpelton]

Hiking out west is amazing. I hope to go even further. I appreciate you watching!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Awesome footage! Very cool you had this experience out in North Dakota!

[@robpelton]

Thanks Metro!

[@Keefography]

Awesome video Rob. Showed the realness and I think you made the right call especially with it getting dark out. That quick shot of Ranger Webb was pretty awesome too. He was ready, cool, calm and collective. Glad you boys are alright!

[@robpelton]

Thanks Keef. I was all acting tough and he called my bluff. Bahaha! Ranger Webb was legit.

[@bobellamy7120]

Buffalos are my favourite but they are no joke. My buddy has a buffalo farm next to his and those things are massive!!

[@robpelton]

They are massive! There was also no cover to get behind. Just a grass prairie and a cliff. Haha.

[@waltbrim5897]

Since he was alone, I think Bryce just was thinking he found some new friends.

[@robpelton]

Aww dang. And I shunned him…

[@waltbrim5897]

@@robpelton Wait til you see him next time. Pissed will be an understatement.

[@RichardKeysoftware]

just dig a cathole a few feet away from the swamp and it will filter in cleaner water

[@robpelton]

If it were only that easy. The whole area is silt. Lol.

[@franciscomorin7487]

Bryce's pronouns are F-around/Find-out

[@robpelton]

Ha! Yes it was.

[@wylliegunter7677]

Your ignorance is staggering! History, wildlife, backpacking…on and on. I can’t watch the whole thing.

[@robpelton]

No argument here! Haha.
