We SURVIVED Hiking in BEAR COUNTRY!

[@speakn0ev022]

The Black bears here on the west coast are quite timid and usually run away when they see you.Otherwise that bear bell would just be a dinner bell

[@OnboardTangaroa]

We knew we put a bear bell.on Maggie for a reason. Thanks for clarifying that they are timid like the ones in Northern Ontario. Thanks for watching. Janis

[@debragonser745]

So cool you got to see bear!!! From a distance!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

It was awesome. Can't wait to do Alaska this summer and get that much closer.

[@debragonser745]

@ we are in Spokane Washington and we love to go camping during huckleberry season! We carry bear spray and keep the four wheeler real close!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

We will def get some bear spray onboard when we head to Alaska. My dad gave me some when I came out here to university! I don't think it was for bears, though ....cheers Janis

The bears you show videos of says they are American black bears, the Canadian black bear says (eh) at the end of their sounds 🤣

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Grunt grunt eh? Yeah I can see that! 😁🇨🇦😁🇨🇦

[@rogerreed905]

What beautiful country . . Awesome . . All the best for christmas and new year . Take care . Bye from NZ💐👍👋🇳🇿🍻

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Merry Christmas to you too! We absolutely love your country and bringing Tangaroa there is def in our 10 yr plan. Merry Christmas. Janis

I always wondered if a bear craps in the woods, now I know they crap anywhere they want especially where we walk 😎

[@OnboardTangaroa]

So much crap! 💩

[@dadejazzba402]

Did you see the youtube videos about why no one anchors in Japan?

[@OnboardTangaroa]

We did and we have been speaking with an agent there...same one LaVagabonde used. He is actually Canadian and from Victoria. He says going into fishing ports is the key for us. They cost very little to dock in and if we do anchor...trust me we will be lit up like a Christmas Tree. Thanks for the reminder! Merry Christmas Janis

[@kevind767]

I’m just going to take a WAG and say the yellow floats are either oysters, or mussels. I could be wrong though……my wife frequently reminds me of that 😂😂😂

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Lol, yours too? Blaine

[@debragonser745]

Float homes would definitely be more my style! This grandma needs her Xbox though! Lol

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Blaine loves his xbox and has no issue gaming with starlink. He uses a 360 though and hopefully we will update to a series x soon. What's your fave game?

[@debragonser745]

@ we just got the new Xbox for our Xmas present! As we retired our winter time is spent playing fallout four! My grandson likes to make me play black ops so he can shoot grandma! lol

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Ok..this made us laugh. The vision of your grandson shooting you on xbox! Aren't grandkids supposed to respect their elders? Merry Christmas. Janis

[@debragonser745]

@ not Timmy! He likes to cheat and see where I’m at on the screen and then snipe me!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Fallout 4 is my all time favorite! Blaine

[@normkoster7570]

So how do you know if you have enough fuel and where to get more fuel

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Fuel wise - we carry 3000 gallons and we usually fill up every two years right now. There are quite a few places around here to fill up with diesel though we try to go to Anacortes right now because that is the cheapest place. When we start travelling...we will fill up where the commercial fishing boats fill up. Is that what you were asking? Thanks. Janis
