Bear Visits My Campsite - Descend on Lost Sierra

A bear visited my campsite a few mornings in a row. So I thought it best to move on.
I was camped out near highway 89 in the eastern Sierra when a bear came through my campsite one morning. Surprisedly, it came back the next morning so I thought it was best to move campsites.
I was hanging out waiting for Descend on Lost Sierra to start the very next weekend. I wanted to stay fairly close to Reno so I could get a haircut and do some shopping prior to Descend.
Well, I'm not so good at filming other people and events but I tried to capture just a little of what happens at Descend. Such a wonderful weekend with cool people. Looking forward to Descend on Bend!
I'm Bex and I live full-time in my tiny RV camper. I make home movies about camping, hiking, tiny living, solar and power generation and everything to do with RV life. All my power comes from the sun and solar power. I enjoy simple camp cooking and being outdoors.

What a great video! I like the contrast of being alone with a bothersome bear to joining a large group of people having fun. You did a wonderful job of showing all the different activities involved with the Descend experience. It’s always fun to be with people who know how to have a good time. Thanks for sharing.

That was clever, honking the horn. Glad he wasn't threatening but it is always best for us AND the bears if maintain the healthy respect/fear. Here in East TN, every year we have bears who get put down because they lose their fear of humans. Visitors NEED to understand a bear can get aggressive when hungry. Heck I get aggressive when hungry. Thank you for including this in your video.
@BexCatherder
@BexCatherder 2 года назад
About the only time brown bears are aggressive is a mother with her cub. I could immediately tell this was a juvenile who probably just separated from their mother. So it was really just figuring things out for itself.

That was best to move on before a habit got out of hand. Too bad you couldn't have left a warning sign for next future camper that visits that spot, & there will be more. Descend looked very welcoming & fun. Lots of food, music, & people having a great time. Loved the camper with the googly eyes. The variety of woods he used to make the spoons. They were beautiful. So good to see you, & know your ok.

An airhorn could be a good investment, and some bear spray just in case. Here in North Florida, we have Blackies too. When I was on a hunting lease property, we had a huge male and a female with a cub. I never went without a large caliber handgun, but not all states allow that, I know.

Somebody or bodies has/have been feeding that young bear either intentionally or by leaving trash out. I put stones in an aluminum can, tape the top closed and shake them at bears who come into camp. Makes an awful racket. If they don't run off I toss one or two on the ground near it while firmly yelling at it to go. Works very well with black bears but I would not do this with Grizzlies. As always, Bex, great video.

There are two Descend events. Descend on Lost Sierra is near Portola and is typically held on the Memorial Day weekend. Descend on Bend is near Bend OR and is around Labor Day weekend. They are both awesome and if you do a search you can find the website to purchase a ticket. The Lost Sierra event is a bit smaller and a bit mellower. But both are amazing.
