    Hi there!
    I just discovered your channel through this video and, as a local resident of Romania (actually, Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca city) and an avid hiker and camper, I can tell you that bears aren't usually a nuisance here. There are places where it's unwise to camp because of them but those are generally spots where they are used to human activity and food offerings. Brown bears in our country tend to be quite timid and avoid humans if you make your presence heard/felt in some way and take care of how and where you eat and leave your food. I had encountered them quite a few times but they never did any harm to me. I once woke up in my hammock, during the night, with a bear searching for food around me! But my food was far up in a tree and the bear went away once I woke up and made some noise. So, unless you're a shepherd and defend your sheep from them or sleep with smelly food in your hammock or tent, you should be fine regarding bears.
    Very nice series you've got here about your trip to Fagaras. I'll definitely watch more :)
    If you ever come back to the Carpathians, I humbly give you some advice: put your hammock higher off the ground, eat further away from your camp, never wear deodorant, perfume or smelly things on you that could make animals curious, always make sound while travelling in dense bush and be careful of wild boar rather than bears. Boars are idiots and tend to attack much easier than bears. AND: tend to pee close to your camp, around it (10-15m away). The smell is usually a warning for animals. If possible, make a wood fire. Even if the flames die out, the smell of burnt wood will be a useful deterrent as animals tend to associate it with human activity.
    ALSO: there are quite a lot of illegal logging activities in Romania, sadly. Be careful where you go, film, use your drone. Some people might get aggressive towards you because of this...
    Cheers from Transylvania.

    Don't know much about Romanian bears, but here In the USA the grizzly bear (brown) can and will easily descend a mountain or steep hill at speeds far quicker than the average climber.

    Hello! Nice video. I always like these kinds of adventures. I do them myself and also I have my own channel. I often camp in Romanian bear country but didn’t have any problems with bears. The more dangerous ones are bears that got used eating human food because they lost their fear of men. The wild bears avoid people as much as they can. By the way, if you didn’t notice, at minute 12:33, there’s a bear track right in that oil patch. Cheers from Romania!

    4:23 Fun fact. Camping is illegal in Romania anywhere except campings or private properties. That doesn't stop anyone, of course, because, it's Romania after all and you either get a moderate fine or you give the fine to the forester without a receipt if he's into that kind of thing or get a very small "fine" that's basically more like a tax, equal to what you would pay in a camping site. That's if they catch you, of course. Everyone knows it's stupid and you simply cannot enforce it, even if they wanted to, but hey, that's my country for you.

      @@tomlorenzen4062 If you're a politician with a couple of hotels or places to rent, but you see the plebs are not paying you and instead are enjoying themselves with cheaper and/or more enjoyable ways than moving from your 4 walls to rented 4 walls, you're going to propose a law to make camping illegal, without giving a reason and ask your other hotel owning buddies to vote for it. That's how this democratic system works. Or if you're in Arco and the locals see that rock climbers are increasingly using vans and not "contributing" to the local economy, you're going to make van camping illegal in the area.

    I definitely support sustainable logging, but the way those roads were cut and streams were flowing down them was certainly not good logging practice in my opinion.
