- Park Junkie & his buddy Clint head into the wilderness of Yellowstone’s Absaroka Mountains in search of a seldom-climbed mountain peak, only to cross paths with a protective Grizzly Mama, & her Three Little Cubs!
Awesome video great job
Great video! Wow!
Wow what spectacular views
Good work with those bears guys. That sow was a mean mama.
I watched this one 4 weeks ago but I decided that it was time to relive the adventure! Like when I went to Maverick Top Gun for the second time which by the way, if you haven't seen it, and I know that it's hard to get to current run films near a national park YOU GOT TO SEE IT!! Best film in ages and WAY better than the original!
I watched the old one a while back... I'll get the new one when I make it back into a civilized area... But, that may be a while! 😂
Respect gentlemen!!
EXCELLENT
Two words for you two guys>>Stan Mills>>Observe & Learn
Mama Griz almost showed you who's boss. Make sure the wind is at your back using bear spray. In 3 weeks or so, the bears will be eating moths by the thousands in those high altitude rocky areas
You Bear-Ly escaped that encounter.
Like I haven't heard that one yet... 😂😂😂 Actually, I hadn't... 😳
It's Friday.
A weekday?
That Mama tasted that puff of pepper spray and thought shit he’s got that dam spray! She decided she didn’t want her babies near it. When she turned around she thought ahh he’s kinda skinny anyways!!
Possibly… 🤔
But if you bought the bear tequilla there would have been no prob
You guys are total STUDS! I assume the Park Service has seen your encounter with the Grizzly and cubs, if not, you should definitely show them, it is a good example how well you guys handled the encounter and also your shot showing how fricking fast the bears covered ground, is in of itself worth showing and a great educational guide to the public (bears are fast!). Love these videos and thank you very much for documenting your hikes...really makes me want to drop everything and hit the road for Yellowstone!
Good mama bear.
Holy Mother of 3 cubs!!!!! That was scary! Yeah, forget filming in that section.....I was scared sitting here watching! You handled it well and besides that adrenaline rush what an epic hike. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks for watching! An epic day, no doubt! To be honest… most of them are… but without the 🐻
What a Goober! I’d go after you too!
Dude you are classic...And hello to Clint..iknow you are good people i can tell....stay positive..stay strong...praise God havf a great day..watch out for grizz
Thanks! Yeah, we’re all right… 🫣🤣
Thanks for watching!
right on brother..be good stay positive.......
"she urinated here"...and I urinated over there!!! hahahahahahaha
"It ain't no game", that's for sure!
We'll be heading to Yellowstone and Glacier Park, MT in two weeks, can't wait!
This place can seem like a zoo to people on the roads & boardwalks, but once you leave that world… shit gets real… FAST
Enjoy your visit!
Hi PJunkie😎
Have u ever watched utube videos by Stan Mills?
He’s in or near YSTONE a lot but deals with bear interaction much differently.
Not sure what I’d do but appreciate both of your responses.
Stan’s latest is interesting. U might enjoy it.
Thks again for ur utubes. Always enjoy 😬
Yes, I have seen his videos, & I have seen his latest, where he talks about remaining silent rather than announcing your presence. After this interaction, I have evolved to opt for that option too. I would handle this situation differently now, in hindsight. I’m hoping to do a sit down with Clint soon, & discuss our interaction, & what we did right, wrong & how we’d each handle this in the future. Bottom line in Yellowstone is if you’re gonna hit the backcountry repeatedly, you’re gonna see some grizzly bears…
Thanks for the insightful feedback, thanks for watching!
So are u going to do the sit down with Clint on a utube. Would like to hear as well & I’m sure your followers would too👍
@@elizabethpreviti598 That’s the plan. Hope to do it soon!
Yikkers PJ!!!!!!!! My worst nightmare and a huge reason I don't like to ride in grizz country. So glad you guys are OK and were prepared.
Yes, riders really seem to piss them off! Hope you’re well!
My country...BEAUTIFUL.
The climbing seemed to be more dangerous than the bear.
Awesome video. Thx for bringing us along.
Epic!
why did y'all split up when she was charging? super interesting video, it does kind of seem like the hey bear might have called her in
Yes, I believe she reacted to our voices. We didn't really discuss our individual direction prior to, or during the actual charge. My thought was to get behind a tree, thinking that the creature must slow down and come around the tree to get to me. I was ready to deploy the spray as she approached, but I also figured I could get good spray on her when she slowed to round the tree I was behind.
I think it may be wise to split up into close proximity, as to confuse the bear, and to not give her two birds with one stone... so to speak....
Great video experience, the scenery was beautiful and always interesting listening to you. That mama bear and cubs was a trip, you just never know, but you guys handled it well. Thanks for the trip.
so glad u aren’t dead boys👍🏻 thx to that mama - never get btwn a mom griz and her cobs ! never hike alone! u guys are in GREAT shape! congrats 🎉
Good reason to hike with someone else especially in bear country
Thank you for taking us on your journey. Wow! So beautiful. I’m 70 and would never be able to do that. Again thanks for sharing
Epic climb and a fun bear run, too! That mama was a healthy gal!
Just the perfect mix of adventure and awe. Sometimes it’s the view from the moon, sometimes from the sea bottom, but the breathtaking views from the peaks of our nation are every bit as thrilling! Thank you.
Agreed!
Wow to hear Clint say he has been dreaming of that mountain for years ....me too...right on you guys ..great experience..oh check ol grizz out when he looks back at you and smiled..epic........epic..epic.......burgers and Brews
Yeah, he’s been talking about it since our first hike! Glad to tag along with him!
Park Junkie....your a cool cat man...what is your psrk schedule for 2022
@@HenryHoffman I don’t really make schedules… but I’m holding a loose plan of hitting most of the western parks during a two-month roadtrip this fall… 🤔
Holy SXXX that was crazy! And yes spectacular views sir! Stay safe!
Great video!
Hoooooooly shit…..clean your shorts after that one boys. She came screaming in with her cubs which is unusual. Mothers usually tell her cubs to scramble and climb and then she’ll do the charge. Good possibility that there was a big bruin in the area so she didn’t have many avenues to get cubs out. Awesome hike🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow, crazy. I was scared right there with you. I heard your friend say "don't run" . Oh my. The look she gave you. Thanks for taking us where we could never go. I am sure you enjoyed those drinks !! Well earned.
Holy cow….I mean bear! Awesome! Thank you for taking us along!
Got to meet Clint today, we stopped by for a cold beverage. Sorry we missed ya.
Clint is the best bartender in town!
WOW, 3 healthy cubs! She is a BIG GIRL! Breathtaking hikes, thanks.
The first Rule to live by: We were there - But, now We are here! Great work guys in analyzing the threat from the Grizzly and Cubs and down playing it. Mama Bear is merely protecting the food supply. If someone broke into your house (especially now!) you would defend your kids and food supply without a doubt.
That Momma was IN CHARGE!
"I didn't get much of that on camera...."
'Cause you were busy not dying, bro. Wow.
Way busy!
Great Views!
Good Bear give space!!!
Really enjoyed this; how many miles did you guys cover?
Thanks! Probably like 12 or so...
Thanks again for another great adventure!
Just a bluff charge, nothing to worry about. He comments from his living room chair... 😂 I agree with some other commenters that the yelling is probably not helpful. I like the Stan Mills approach.
No doubt, in this situation, yelling was a fairly ignorant move. I’ve modified my approach in this situation to stfu & move away quietly… 🤔
There may be a place for alerting a bear to one’s presence, but this was probably not it. I’m still surprised she charged though…

@@theparkjunkie From what I have read bluff charges by mother griz even from quite a distance are not all that uncommon. They are just extremely protective and want to intimidate all potentially dangerous intruders that come too close.
WOW! Great stuff!! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Way to go papa T
You make me nervous just sitting on my couch!
The lifestyle you guys and others have chosen is a great one. To keep it, what you do disciplines you to keep any demons anyone has on a leash, because you must be in shape to do what you guys do. I can't thank you guys enough for showing us what it's like to wonder Paradise. Good job as always the both of you and thanks again.
Great storytelling and a talent for highlighting the wonders of Yellowstone. Nothing like this online! Have you thought about approaching the National Park Service to hire you and Clint to produce these videos for parks around the country? Show them your videos and negotiate a contract! Keep these shows coming!
Thanks! But negotiating a contract with the fed gov sounds like a lot of red tape... I will probably stick to TH-cam... 😁 Thanks for watching!
Wow ! What an amazing hike ! All that beauty ! I envy you . You are so blessed with youth and health. Safe hiking.❤️
Looks like you had a great day. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Amazing,guys. Thank you!🤩
Wow, Todd!!
That bear charge was the real deal! I think she smelled the bear spray when you popped off that little bit. Good job!
Well another great video. That was a long charge. And your point of hiking with other people is proof of why.
Thanks! Yes, I am still baffled that she came that far… I have been far closer to others that simply ignored me.
Such beauty! Amazing mama bear and her cute cubs. Just doing their thing and surviving. She wanted away from you guys as much as you wanted the space! Thanks for the trek.
5:25 When good times go bear. Bears like the ridgelines in summer..from what I hear. Also, epic hike. Amazing footage..and momma bear....wow....
We just spent a few days in the park and I saw a black bear while driving into the Old Faithful area and we saw a grizzly foraging on the shore of the lake near Grant and West Thumb. Early morning for both.
Park junkie you are the sh_ _ !
You are a pro at this. I know this because you make it look so easy!!!! As always thanks for taking us with you!!!! Be safe
Thanks! Not always easy, but mad rewards!!!
Great video. Had my palms sweating at times. Lived in this area (Powell) in the late 70's, early 80's. I really respect and love this country.
My concern would be momma dropping her cubs off and coming back to deal with the situation (you guys!). You can say what you will do all day, but when it happens it gets real in a hurry. Great job and another awesome summit!
Yes, always vigilant, but especially after such an encounter.
Great video - If a bear feels threatened especially a Grizzly with 3 cubs, even with the noise that you make to let it know you are nearby so as not to surprise her, there's no guarantee you'll be safe from an attack. I've seen so many people hiking trails without bear spray despite all the posted warnings. Amazing. Love your videos.
Best view of Yellowstone Lake hardware can buy ..AND good , strong legs ! :)
Sorry for my dumb question was this after the flood
Yes, about one month after.
Wow I am glad you are ok, we just saw a Mother Bear and two cubs in Yellowstone last week. She was a much smaller brown bear but my wife spotted her and we kept in the car. Back home safe and sound. Appreciate your channel. It's my dream to see a Grizzly but we could not hike far with my two year old daughter.
Yeah, best to just chill with the youngster! Have a great summer!
Well your heart got a good workout! Great adventure love nature and mamma bears💕
Awesome!
Very Lucky, them momma’s don’t play with cubs around.
Great video, glad your safe!
wow bad ass
"I don't have to run fast, just faster that you!" Epic vid all the way around brother.
IKR 🤣
Just did a super short hike in the Snoqualmie area. Very pretty.
Thanks for the footage!
Great suspenseful music during the charge.
That was a spincter tighting experience. I think I'd have to carry a .44 mag
Yeah, sometimes the ol Kodiak 44 sounds a bit more of a deterrent than pepper spray… 🫣
Thanks so much for another great hike. Just seeing the bears brought back my memories from inside a car! That was scary enough! Seeing footprints raises the hair on the back of my neck. What a fine looking monster animal! What great views.
Yeah, that girl was a beauty! Looking strong with the family!
Thank you for a magnificent view at the top of First People….be safe and avoid big momma!
That was a majestic hike and view! Wow, just Wow! Thank you, thank you!
Wow! Glad you are OK. I carry the same bear spray on my hikes so thanks for the info about the squirt after you remove the safety. Steve R.
I tested my spray today… just blasted it to see how far it reaches… Not sure it’s the best. I may do a test soon to determine which one has the best distance. Cause after seeing it in action, I’m a bit less confident… 🤷♂️
I think one should practice pulling the trigger, to commit it to muscle memory.
Can you do a video on the gear you hike with and food and water management? Thanks
I’ll work on it… 🤙
There's always a little luck involved with a bear charge. You and Clint were definitely lucky!!! After you and Clint debriefed the situation what did you learn??? Besides always sending Clint first!!!
Yes, mad luck! I am hoping to put a debriefing video out soon. As soon as our schedules mesh, I wanna do a sit down discussion with Clint to discuss what we would do differently in the future.
Loved how Clint was thanking mama bear for retreating & then you yell at them to get the hell outta there. Remember who's in who's territory, right? Enjoy your channel. Stay safe!
Yeah, Park Junkie's alter ego... 😏
Thank you again for another great hike...it really is an amazing park.... G'day from Australia 🐨
G'day from Kentucky!
G’day from Wyoming, & thanks for tuning in from across the way!
@@lawrenceprince1409 Love Kentucky!
Thank you for sharing your hike. Happy to see all turned out well for you guys and the bears. Amazing video.
Spectacular country. Enjoying hitchhiking on your coattails until that last climb. I don't do heights well... thanks for sharing something I'll not see in person.
Yikes!!!!!Grandson lives in Bozeman and loves to hike. Always carry bear spray,but of
course Grandma is still concerned. Be safe.
U guys r craaaazy….I couldn’t do it but even if I could I wouldn’t and on top of that BEAR COUNTRY!!! Thank u for giving us a look at the park and lake…I’m quite content to see the peaks from the roadside….😁👍🏼
That is an awesome view. Great video.
Yo Clint : ) good to see you on the summit
I think after that encounter and seeing so much bear evidence I would have decided discretion as the better part of valour.
That was good thinking to keep your camera going. That is the best bear charge I have seen recorded. I bet that made for a lasting memorable trip! You really did a great job watching for bear signs.
Looking back, of course I wish the recording was better, but I had a few other things on my mind, as you can imagine... 😳 I really wanted to get behind a tree... not sure that would really matter, but it sure felt more secure.
I now question the wisdom of announcing our presence in that circumstance. My thinking is leading me to announce my presence in heavy vegetation, and stay quiet in the meadows and open areas where I have a wider field of view.
Thanks for the comment, I have watched many of your videos and you seem to encounter quite a few of these creatures.
God, that brings back an amusing story. We were at Yellowstone and everyone except me got out of the van to go look (from a respectable distance) at a suspected bear cub. Well, no one was quite sure but someone heard some branches rustle and literally all 6 of them dove back into the van faster than I've ever seen anyone move.
Grizzly: Hold my beer...
Wow, what a day, and one you and Clint won't soon forget! Two peaks and a mama bear charge in one day! That was one healthy looking bear for sure, those three little ones are well taken care of.
You did everything right in that encounter.
We’re gonna have a sit down discussion in an upcoming video, where Clint & I discuss our moves during the charge. After reflecting on the scene, I’m not sure that I would repeat my actions. Stay tuned, & thanks for watching!
I normally don't comment on video's, but this was amazing! I don't think I will ever be able to go and visit those beautiful parcs, but watching your video's is the next best thing! Thank you so much for all your video's, love them! Love from The Netherlands
Thanks for your thoughts… & just cone on over, we have a few decent scenes you should witness… 😉
Beautiful hike love the bear charge!!! The cubs so cute
I’m not sure I can say “I loved the bear charge”, but I get your point… 😳
Wow. What an adventure. LOVE IT. Good work guys. Thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait for another one.
Thanks for an amazing video -- what a trek!
How many RT miles was this hike?
