    Fantastic images! Those mother and baby photos are some of the best bear images I have ever seen. Somehow they do look different from brown bear in the US

    This was a superb video Andrew. Superb images which were achieved through perseverance. I bet you’re glad you pushed yourself on even when feeling unwell. I’m just glad I found your channel recently because this was one of the best things I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thanks for your hard work!

    Being sick while in the hide was an unexpected adventure, glad you're better. That momma bear looked huge especially standing on her hind legs. Thank you for the educational and beautiful vlog. Slovenia is very green 🌱 Your Instagram posts are amazing!

    Hi Andrew. Only recently I started following your photography adventures with great pleasure. Today I saw your adventure with the brown bear. Wow, what a wonderful moment you have captured beautifully. In the photos you have captured the emotion of and between mama bear and cub very aptly. And that on the last morning of your visit ....... a more wonderful conclusion a person could not wish for. Good luck with your beautiful and informative film work, I'll keep following you! With a warm greeting from Holland.

    Nice ! I personally met them when I was camping in the wild in Slovenia... I always sleep in hammocks. Meeting them at night is quite scary the bear was walking just next to the hammock and sniffing everything my heart was beating like a trans music. But here in the video they look just adorable and cuddly 😊
