A safer way to camp in Grizzly Country. 

I loved seeing that grizzley stand up. Great as always!

Thank you Stan for the lovely adventure in the forest…the flower close ups, animal sightings and views for miles and miles bring peace to my heart and relaxation in my soul. Be well. -ll

Thanks for the stroll through your backyard; so very different than mine!

Informative video as always. We love seeing the outdoors through your lens!! Thank you.

Love seeing all the wildlife and the flowers. Thanks for sharing.

Ahhhh that was awesome . Nice way to enjoy a morning coffee out in my back yard , watching your great video. Those bears were good to see , an the playful elk running around. Most beautiful wildflowers love summer time. Camping in that area would be really nice , glad to see another enjoyable hike in god’s beautiful back yard. Thank you Stan

Love your channel Stan . I just discovered it a matter of weeks ago. May God grant you many years.

Funny! You see a grizzly even when you are driving an ATV!! Beautiful owl! The one we had in our backyard for a couple of months was similar, a little smaller I think with black eyes. (Barred Owl) We hope he comes back this winter. Nice video Stan!!

Stan, you have upped your game! Thanks for the educational uplifting videos! God Bless You!

Such wonderful healing to be on this amazing adventure with you Stan, a beautiful treasure that we have been given on this earth called nature. I wish that all people would respect and care for these treasures like you do Stan. Thank you for allowing us to join you on your adventures 🙏🐻🌲🏞️❤️

Everything so green and the wildflowers are popping. Nice video Stan Thanks 😊 🙏

I must admit I’m somewhat shocked. Stan I always saw you as a purist. A motorized vehicle??? And an electric fence??? I’m blown away. Don’t misunderstand , I’m not disappointed. I just never thought I would see the day when Mr. Yellowstone brought along some of today’s technology to keep the Bears away. And yes I just called you Mr. Yellowstone. You have definitely earned the name. I would say be safe but with an electric fence and an ATV I think you’re good.

Absolutely, some of the most beautiful country I have seen. Thank you for sharing the wonderful things you see on your outings.

A glacier, grouse, owl, wild flowers. Thank you. Just beautiful.

I’m glad to see you take a few precautions. I love your videos and want to keep seeing them for a long time to come. Beautiful!

I really enjoy seeing the wildflowers you share with us. Lupine is one of my favorite. Thank you!

Great video! I always enjoy these hikes and beautiful scenery! On my bucket list Stan!!

I enjoyed seeing the lupine and the Indian paint brush. Such a lovely video. I hope your camp out was enjoyable.

Awesome Stan...You are braver than I for sure. Really enjoy your video's. Be safe.

Thanks for sharing this video of some beautiful wild areas.

Beautiful sunset Stan thank you 👍🏻

I enjoy your videos. Thank you

Stan - thank you so much for adding the distance estimates of your long shots! Oh - I watched with the sound down - couldn’t tell if those tripwires you set up were connected to claymores or TNT. Great idea by the way!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us God Bless.

For a guy that lives in Massachusetts I have spent a lot of time on Shedhorn. Always nice to watch your videos Stan. Even better when I can see somewhere I've been.

Beautiful scenery. I have never been in that area orYellowstone. Thanks for sharing ❤

VERY NICE TRIP as always, be safe 🦌🐻🦅👍😎🇺🇸

Grizzlies can cover 100 yards in aprox 6 seconds, 200 yards in aprox 12 seconds. Grizzlies have been filmed making a full on continuous charge from almost a mile away towards their prey (in this case an elk). If a Grizzly knows you are there and decides you are prey there is no such thing as a "safe distance"

I have hammock camped most of my life and love it when someone calls it a "Bear Burrito". Now days I like to say the filling is to old , stale and tough for them to chew. Around here it's Florida's Black Bears , no Grizzles. Tom Hennessy makes some really comfortable Hammocks. I especially like the visibility & ventilation they offer it's really nice.

I have horse packed, back packed and now I do use a UTV to get around. Age has something to do with it. I am in the southern end of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Where the Gros Ventres Wilderness Area and the Jim Bridger meet. I was fortunate to grow up here, long before back packing was a common thing. We were horseback all the time. Then I went to work for the F.S., and between doing timber stand improvement, planting trees, spraying noxious weeds, I got to do trail maintenance in what is now the Gros Ventres Wilderness. We would go out for 10 days and never see another human being. The Gros Ventres have lots of wildlife. I appreciate my good fortune. Now I have a cabin on the upper Green. 399's offspring was captured about 1/2 mile south of our cabin. We were there when it all happened. I have family and friends who have lived there, live there now, and have to deal with the amazing success of the grizzly bear recovery. When placed on the endangered species list, the goal for removal from the list was 750 bears in the recovery area. Most estimates now believe there are at least 1100 bears. It was a success. Hats off to all who worked on it. But, unfortunately, the goal posts keep moving. I appreciate the unbelievable beauty of the area. But, I put people first. One of my cousins, in her later years, has taken up photography of grizzly bears. She has some amazing photographs from Grand Teton N.P., Yellowstone, and the upper Green River. She was in Grand Teton earlier this year when lots of people witnessed a boar grizzly kill the cub of a sow he was courting. I asked her about the observers reactions. She reported that there was screaming, crying and lamenting. What folks don't accept is that is what grizzly bears do. When we anthropomorphize animals, we are doing them a great disservice. They are animals, they are not humans. What we speculate on their behavior is just that, speculation. They are who they are. And they are mysteriously, amazingly different from us. Peace and God bless to all, and Stan, I prefer hiking, putting one foot after the other, as I explore the beauty of God's Creation. But, taking a occasional ATV ride is not a mortal sin.

Such beauty!!

Awesome! Thank you! 👍😎🇨🇦🐻🌲

bear runs away probably thinks a swarm hornets coming for him

what a beautiful owl

Looks like the view into Cache Creek back in Taylor’s Fork. We have been on top of Shedhorn many times with our horses looking down on a very beautiful 360 view.

Hey Stan beautiful video as usual. Thanks for sharing your electric fence setup. Certainly becoming more and more popular. Did you use Taylor Fork Road off 191 to access your trip ? Beautiful country !

Great video. I fish the Yellowstone at Roosevelt Lodge down to Hell Roaring bridge since 1977. You hike some in that area

stopping and quietly climbing over a hill is an excellent strategy. You may have come face to face with a sow and cubs and got a really good view. Keep up the good work.

I've dreamed of living out there all my life, maybe in the next life.. Amazes me the beauty

Just amazing grizzly footage. Sometimes I truly wish I had an electric fence like that.

that was beautiful

Thanks again Stan

Stan, imho, you have been blessed by being in the presence of a GGO. Wow.

Very beautiful video, the flowers sure are pretty too, I especially like the yellow daisies. 😀 Seeing the wildlife is awesome as well, that's always a big deal for me to see the wildlife, oh yeah! 🤗 Aren't you worried about getting ticks on you when you're out walking amongst the evergreens? 😞 Thank you my friend for sharing this video, it's truly a treasure! 🤗

Just spent time in Yellowstone. Saw many UTV's outside the park in WY and SD riding the streets. We don't get to do that in the bad old (boring) mid west. You know...for our safety.

Were you camping/hiking in the Lee Metcalf Wilderness? You showed some gorgeous views. Loved the view of the Great Grey Owl, a magnificent bird! I never heard of using an electric fence for an overnight, giving one peace of mind to sleep no doubt. Also---thanks for posting your estimated distance from the grizzlies! Your videos are much appreciated.

Love your videos Stan. Retiring to the area next June. What do you typically use for video, a GoPro? Thanks

Be safe, and God be with you😉

4:45 oh hey look it's bear sh@t....let's camp here! 🤣 j/k Stan I really do love your videos and glad to see the number of subscribers increasing.

Thanks Stan for the great videos. I look forward to watching them. Interesting to see at 15:10 one of the elk enjoying the water.

Such beautiful flowers and scenery! Can you really sleep several hours in the dark? It would be nice, but I don’t imagine sleep comes easily.

Alp lake ? Lightning creek area ? Been years since I've been up in the Metcalf wilderness. Great views love it !

Stan, thanks again for an incredible video of your journey. Interesting to see you on an ATV this time. Do you still hoist your food up in a tree to keep the casual bears away and would this be outside of your fenced in area?

No calves?? Nice video as always.

Do you get nervous walking out and about? I hope you have something to protect yourself!! Be careful ♡

I was wondering how much that electric fence set up weighs. Is that something you could backpack with?

What camera do you use for most of your videos

Great Stuff Yup

I recall a Polar Bear take no notice of the elecric fencing & grabbing a young lad from his tent - In the news within the last 2/3 years 👍😊

Did any critters visit your campsite at night? Do you cook away from where you sleep? Lovely video at the height of the wildflower season.

Sure would lo e to see you with a sidearm on your hip or chest. Didn't even see bear spray when you were in your camp. Love the electric fence but your hammock sure looked close to those wires... I know you KNOW your stuff.. Just saying.. Thanks for the video!!!

Ever seen a mtn lion in your hikes?

Stan, i've noticed in other videos you don't camp with the electric fence. Is this purely a matter of bear density in the particular area or also related to time of year - or just because you can carry it due to camping with the side-by-side? or ? thanks for the videos ! :)

Bear runs away and stands on feet to see what the heck going on lol

Small tip (but you probably already know this): When able to carry extra weight into the backcountry, such as on your ATV, most tripods have a hook at the bottom of the center rod, and you can hang any type of weight on it in order to stabilize the tripod for more steady camera videoing (or for still photos also). You could also just carry a small nylon mesh bag and fill it with rocks and hang it from the hook.

Is that a Bearwatch fence, Stan? I'm headed into the Thorofare area from the east side later this month, and 3 lbs seems plenty reasonable to split up between three people in backpacks.

Shoshone National forest or is it Caribou Targhee?

What is a good tripod to use

They must make good pets.

Where are you camping here, or atleast general area? Just wondering because you said it is a extremely dense grizzly bear area. Thanks Stan

I would think the best bear fence would have all kinds of good food hanging on it...

In my travels in and around the Yellowstone ecosystem, I notice there are more elk outside the boundaries of Yellowstone Park than in the park itself. The elk, I’m sure, feel far safer away from the wolves which stay mainly in the park. Many thanks Stan for this video outside YNP in Madison county, Montana

The non motorized videos are the best!

Where is this?

Would that fence really stop a grizzly?

Gotta say the utv is quite a distraction from your usual serenity.

The electric fence weighs about three pounds? Is that a typo in the description, Mr. Mills?

While riding on your ATV on those backroads, aren't you ever worried that a Deer, Elk or any animal will come out of the woods? 🤔

The safer way to camp in bear country is not to camp in bear country.that is the safer way.

I really don't think that fence is going to stop a hungry and angry Griz, it's just not enough AMPS. But good luck!

Where exactly was the camping?????

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D1YinWx3XQc.html 6:38 mark these two run into a Momma grizzly and three cubs. Stan, did they do the right thing? I think since they were spotted by the grizzly she was going to let them know she wasn't happy. If they were not spotted then I think they could have made their way around her. Every situation is unique. This one came charging from 200 yards away! Never safe in grizzly country. Makes me more nervous to go hiking now.

One would think that after five decades that Montana Idaho Wyoming and Alaska would have public camp shelters and radio collared predatory animals with alert beacons so as to minimum conflict between humans and wildlife . - OKAY LET'S HEAR WHY THIS COULD NEVER BE DONE -

Shi I love riding atvs while camping! Also a electric fence is better than getting eaten

You seem to be asking for it. Either that, or you're just obsessed with bears.

Small Tip (but you probably already know this) ... stay at a Hyatt

Hope you have an uneventful evening.

Was never expecting to see you in an ATV which seems contrary to your always quiet, non interfering approach to wildlife before when hiking. But seems you have had it for a while just didn’t film it? I am not a fan of that approach and would like to hear why. Then you find grizzly scat and think it may be a good place to camp? To see bears? The electric fence or warning system is a good idea IMHO and is used in Alaska Katmai etc. I suppose you need an ATV to haul that all that gear now that i think about it. Maybe one day there will be a practical electric ATV with less noise. A little more context and about your thought process would be interesting.

No weapon and no spray ready.

You need a tank in grizzly country .

The safest way to camp in grizzly country is watch your videos from home, in Florida.

Actually, your head would be at 10000 feet if you are standing at 9996 feet

There's plenty of those bears. A surplus, at least in areas of Yellowstone. Maybe it's time to export them to Oregon, Colorado, California, New Mexico and other states that held them pre settlement. A nice dispersed population is better than having a bunch holed up between the 3yellowstone states.

Why wouldn’t you say at the start where this is?

Safer yet no firearm? Why not?

They can smell you

I have heretofor appreciated Mr. Mills’ content for its wildlife and wilderness views; aesthetic sensitivity; respect for nature and love of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. I have heard Mr. Mills suggest hiking is a better option than horseback for seeing the backcountry. It is a disappointment to see a so-called “educational” video whose predication is use of an ATV and electric fence!

@5:53 and if your electric fence were to fail, you’d be in for a shock…

It is not Grizzly country anymore It is mills country now and Grizzlies are just the guest over here Coz stan comes and goes and roar among them when he pleases

I hate ATV's in the backcountry. Get yourself a horse.
