The same thing happened to problem bears in Yosemite (Ca.) They get relocated in Happy Camp Ca. Which, is about 20 miles east of Campbell lake / Cliff lake area, in the Marble mountains wilderness. We have seen more bears in the last 10 years, than we have seen in the 30 years we have been hiking this area.
Stay safe. Love the way you present your videos and include your viewers. I have been silently following since the AT. I live 20 miles from the Monson end of the 100 mile wilderness
Grizzlies can smell food up to 20 miles away. They can smell human scent for days after the human has left an area. Don't use your nose as the yardstick for scent in the wilderness.
It looks like you're enjoying your experience. Your pace is great! Thanks for the daily posts. I look forward to watching them. It's hot and humid back in Arkansas.
Howdy Kelly and thanks! What a beautiful hike! We are at 9500 ft outside of Angel Fore NM for a few weeks and have had 3 bears on our porch looking for food. Just doing their thing! Enjoying your hike! Be safe!
@@douglasjones3930seems like a comparison to me no ? I don’t believe there was an insult anywhere in the comment . What’s petty is you trying to start something from nothing , and my god grow some skin it’s a hiking trail and I’m sure everyone has their favourites and or least favourite.
@@brandonbriscoe613 The Appalachian mountains are 400 million years older than the Rockies so there is little comparison. It is the green tunnel reference that is thrown around like an insult. To say “and it isn’t a green tunnel” is to infer that being a green tunnel is a bad thing. Anyone that has an issue with the green tunnel can’t see the forest for the trees. The CDT is also graded for horses not just a footpath like the AT.
Hey MJ.and the rest of the crew, you guys look like you're having a nice hike hope it keeps up! 😅 Thanks for the tip on converting Mountain House meals into ziplock storage bags, same weight but makes alot more space.
9 lives, this is huckleberry over! Great video! I actually went looking for huckleberries yesterday (July 15,24) and found literally four, still a little early in the season for this year at least. You might find some trail nibbles if you keep an eye out. It is amazing how your bodies recover so quick after 25 milers etc. Whose big toe was that? Those were moose tracks by the way. Keep cool, jump in any stream this summer any chance you get to help regulate your thermoregulation. God bless!
I've almost exclusively done away with shorts on trail. There are so many light weight, stretchy, quick drying pants available these days. I already have Lyme so they're better for ticks and also over grown sections of trails.
Hola! Watching from home in Central Oregon and about to eat some tacos. Excited to watch your video and I love your parts about food and getting to cafes/restaurants(:
I had not heard that specifically about moving the problem bears to that area but I know in Northwestern Wyoming it depends on many factors before they decide to move them. Can't wait for you to make it to the Wind River Range in Wyo. I know I keep saying it 🙂 but I can't way to see your reaction. God Bless!!
.. Awesome trail today ... If Sun Balm is really a good sunscreen , maybe they can make a combo Sun screen/ bug repellant cream ,, usually has to be 40% deet but applying one over the other usually wipes off the first applied ... .. Kelly ,, don't even respond to comments from basement dwellers ,, they most likely have never been on any backcountry trek ...
Hmm I always heard that "problem bears" can't be relocated, because they just come back. So instead they're usually killed. But that's in California, where (today) we only have black bears? Maybe it's different in Montana?
It certainly sounds plausible that problem bears would be moved to the Bob Marshall Wilderness given that its USFS managed land. If the bear is tagged and tracked then moving it to the Wilderness would still have it be located on federal land where it could have an eye kept on it by a federal wildlife manager but have less of a chance to have a negative encounter with humans than in the national park. I don't know, but it sounds logical.
Kelli, are you using the figure eight knot to tie your ursack? If not, I suggest watching a video. No matter how hard the bear pulls on it, the knot will not loosen. It's what I use to tie my ursack allmitey.
@@kellyhays23 I figured as much. Makes sense. I’m not a fan of wet shoes, but much less a fan of walking into camp past dark. Excited to see your journey, wet or dry footed. Such amazing terrain to explore.
I once timed myself to switch to crocs, cross, dry my feet and put the socks and shoes back on. It took 10 minutes. I knew I had 2 more river crossings that day and had to do 22 miles before the last shuttle pickup at 4, so I figured I did not have 20 minutes to spare for the remaining 2. Also, past a certain depth/speed, you need to wear your most tractive shoe option, which would be your hiking shoes.
In one of your previous videos, you showed the inside of your tent and your overnite pee jug😂, ima need the info on that girl!!! Do you have a link? That would be a game changer for me❤❤ I need it!!!😂
Why do you say your camping is the real deal. Are you the only person that really camp is everyone else pretending but your really camping. Kinda like you are walking along a creek in people's back yards. Just because you say real deal I got the idea you're closer to public then you say I here vars in the back ground.
@kellyhays23 woman I was homeless living in a wall tent the winter before last in wind chill of 20 below I lived in that tent the hole winter in Amish country any direction I went was a mile before I even got to any of the Amish. I hunted rabbit an a few bird with sling shot or pellet gun. Thank you but I don't want to camp anymore. I got no family they all passed away. No matter where I'm dropped I'll make it because I have to.lol. anyone can camp.

Thanks for sharing the day by day of the hike. Yours is some of my favorite content at the moment. Have fun! Stay safe!
My wife and I never had any interest in trails beyond the AT, but you're changing our mind. CDT SOBO is amazing.
Its the only long trail with actual wilderness experience. PCT has flashes but the CDT is where its at if you want to get away from civilization.
Stay safe. Love the way you present your videos and include your viewers. I have been silently following since the AT. I live 20 miles from the Monson end of the 100 mile wilderness
Amazingly gorgeous scenery!
Loving the scenry and how you guys are rolling along smoothly.
Loving this series Kelly. I find myself wanting more after each episode and looking forward to the next day's installment. Thanks
Thanks for showing the markers and so on... It makes it more easy to keep up with aprox where you are! Looks like you are having a blast!
Wow! So beautiful! Thank you for taking us with you!🌲
This is the way! I want to be just like you when I grow up. See you tomorrow, and keep having fun.

Nice, thanks for the tour of the Bob, stay safe
Marvelous! That looks beautiful on video. I can only imagine what it’s like in person.
The yellow swallowtails are my favorites. They go everywhere, too.
Another great video. Thanks Kelly
So amazing. The views go on and on. ❤
Its amazing how different this is from the AT. The mountains are unbelievable and it isn’t a green tunnel!
Why do people have to invoke and insult the AT in order to compliment another trail. Sounds petty.

Oh my lawwd! Forget the AT. That trail is BEAUTIFUL!!!
But the AT has soul.
@@douglasjones3930 oh for sure! But man the beauty of the CDT is just incomparable

Keep your bear 🐻 spray close at hand and be alert best not to even wear the clothes you cooked in
Hola! Watching from home in Central Oregon and about to eat some tacos. Excited to watch your video and I love your parts about food and getting to cafes/restaurants(:
25 miles in one day sounds like a ton!!
Yeah, that’s a good day there. It’s looking so nice out there
Awesome views. Looks like you’re having a lot of fun walking.
Nice day. Praying for no bears. Stay well and be safe.

You amaze me. I hiked the sylimore from Gunner Pool to Blanchard Springs today and that 5 miles Almost killed me. Lol
First comment! Let’s go! This is an amazing journey on the CDT. Can’t wait to experience it someday.
Hi Kelly, congratulations on the trekking; thanks much for the videos; I suggest mosquito coils for camp and bear spray. take care.
Still looking great while doing what you love❤
Moving troubled bears to Bob Marshall was funny af! 😂 Like yeaa, let the beas smash the hikers down the trail 😂❤
Loving your videos, I love the idea of saving old food packets to reheat your food in. Do you reuse it or toss it after?
Reuse for a few towns!
Hello pretty friend. I’m glad you’re sleeping in a tent and keeping nice and cozy. May your travels be pleasant and safe your friend Gary
Love the videos Kelly. Are you mostly vlogging with your GoPro for this trip?
Coffee treat for U!
THANK YOU!

Hope u had a great sleep 💤 ❤😊
Wow your busting the miles!! So pretty. 💪
I look forward to your vlogs every day! What's your average pace per hour on the trail? I know it varies uphill vs downhill, but just curious!
3 mph
Problem bears that get moved almost always work their way back to where they came from.
How your feet aren't falling off, you're a beast!
Hmm I always heard that "problem bears" can't be relocated, because they just come back. So instead they're usually killed. But that's in California, where (today) we only have black bears? Maybe it's different in Montana?
Loved the video
Enjoying the videos! I saw a mosquito land on you ankle 😬. Are you using some kind of repellent? I can’t stand the stuff but i hate the itch
No I haven’t been using anything yet
I love the Bob Marshal, You guys find any huckleberries yet.
Not yet!!
Your new trail name: Talks With Butterflies. 😄
Aint you afraid of the bears when you sleep in a tent ? I would never dare to do that. You are amazing and I love your videos. Ron/Sweden

BEAUTIFUL 😍 HOPE YOU HAVING FUN 🔥🔥🙏🙏
When you had to do that stream crossing, did your shoes and socks dry out while hiking? Or maybe waterproof socks?
They dry out eventually, maybe the next day lol
@@kellyhays23 Sounds about right. I wore my Keens and wool socks for Eagle Rock Loop because of all the crossings - worked out pretty good actually.
What do you plan to do if you have a large bear or car ect. Not just on trail but at night?
The Trail always dictates our hikes. Just go with its punches it will get easier.
Kelli, are you using the figure eight knot to tie your ursack? If not, I suggest watching a video. No matter how hard the bear pulls on it, the knot will not loosen. It's what I use to tie my ursack allmitey.
Be cool to see a sasquatch 😂
11:21 Mosquito getting your ankle 😅
❤❤
Is there any benefit to walking through water crossings with your shoes on versus taking them off and keeping things dry?
It would be so time consuming to do that at every crossing. We shoot for 25+ miles a day and taking shoes off at every crossing is not feasible
@@kellyhays23 I figured as much. Makes sense. I’m not a fan of wet shoes, but much less a fan of walking into camp past dark.

Another totally awesome video! I'm very excited following you on super adventure on CDT.
Wet shoes are not a big deal if they drain well. Ain't nothing but a thang 👟👟👟👟
Wow, just wow. Everyday I look forward to seeing if your views could get better and they do. Keep trekking.
i wonder if ever somebody left the campsite in the morning an forgot to take the foodbag out of the tree ... couple hours later: where is my food?
That would be very unfortunate 🤣
why were you complaining about the pistacio shells in the fire pit
Wow!! How can too do 25 miles a day?!?? That’s so crazy! Aren’t you ever sore? I would need a few ibuprofen everyday lol
🦋🧦🦋 😆
😍
You're braver than I am. You're also stunningly beautiful. 😍
Why don't you take shoes off to cross streams, just a thought ,great camp site, views
lol bc I don’t want to be taking shoes on and off all day long
Why dont you cook you meal in the plastic bag?
In one of your previous videos, you showed the inside of your tent and your overnite pee jug😂, ima need the info on that girl!!! Do you have a link? That would be a game changer for me❤❤ I need it!!!😂
Link in my gear video!
Been watching everyday, learned a lot, thanks for that. Unfortunately I also see how you interact with These commenters “Bud”.
Pretty goofy.
Fact about Bears, You can't outrun the bear, But if your friend is slower then you, You just need to outrun your friend.

Hi, I am a professional video editor.Do you want an editor for your videos?
I enjoy your videos. I wish you would enunciate your words a little a bit better And not mumble Thanks
After walking 25 mile days I’m surprised I can get any words out at all sometimes 🤣
😂😂😂😂
you put your food bag 4 ft in a tree and your bitching about the pistachios come onnn
It’s an ursack smartass! Looks it up😘

Patasioo shells ain't junk and much better than plastic
Was not me but that was not wrong
Not what I want to see in griz country where I’m camping bud
Folks need to pack their stuff out and not leave it. It’s food, and attracts wild animals like… grizzly bears. 🙄
