Early Morning Grizzly - Yellowstone Ecosystem 

I can hear the wakeup and smell the crispness that only morning brings... Thanks Stan

Never ceases to amaze me that Human Beings feel entitled in one of the most beautiful places on this planet to drop their garbage on the ground 😡Thank You Stan for being gracious enough to pickup after the selfish Humans that don't care🙏🐾🐻❤️

Watching this is like being there. Total peace and solitude in the wild. Thanks Stan

You’ve taught me how to navigate in bear territory. After spending most of my life being in complete and utter terror of grizzlies especially, but all bears (my friend was attacked by a predatory black bear several years ago as she was hiking through a clear cut.) Harrowing story. Thankfully, her great Dane engaged the black bear (after running away.) He returned in full-steam, after her screaming and gave her time to get away. Dog was fine. I thank you for your help, with my ignorance and fear.

What a great showcase Stan for life in grizzly country. I agree with you, these animals only attack when they are uncertain of your intentions, and think you mean to harm their cubs. otherwise they are peaceful animals that have no ill will to humans. My pal once saw a griizzly in Montana that literally posed for photos and would often make friendly bleating sounds for food.

Your videos are such a treat for those of us who can't be there, thank you!

I love the early morning because the birds are just waking up. Their song is everywhere and it's heavenly

What a beautiful way to start the day, seeing God's creation and the beauty in it all. Have a blessed day.

Timothy Treadwell obviously took his bear obsession too far, sadly, ignoring the dangers which ultimately took his life and his girlfriend’s life…Stan is more cautious and aware of the dangers and knowledgeably hikes these beautiful areas! As with life, anything can happen but in the meantime, I enjoy these treks with the calm Stan!

Goodmorning Stan. It's fun to start my day with one of your videos.❤

Stan, thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy watching and listening😊

Good morning, another beautiful video. 👍🦅🇺🇸

So good to see a new post Stan. I so enjoy hiking with you vicariously.

What an awesome video. Really enjoyed it wished I was there . Nice healthy grizzly digging away like they do! Glad to see the snow gradually melting up there. Nice job great video.

Love your videos Stan! I was at the South Entrance to Yellowstone this morning (this entrance has not opened yet) and spotted a black bear digging in the meadows along the Snake River just outside the park entrance. Yesterday spotted a juvenile grizzly near Moran in GTNP. Your hiking protocols have done much to influence my preparation and actions on the trail. Thanks so much for your excellent videos!

Nice to see you posting new videos again!

I never travel into Bear Country without a firearm. I carry bear spray too, but if the wind is blowing into your face the spray is useless against the bear and can blind you! Everyone forgets that.

So happy to see you in my YT notifications. I’ve always enjoyed your videos. Thank you.

❤Stan Mills, thank you! I go in periodically to check for your hikes. The beautiful early morning sky with the wildlife...so very wonderful. In Texas, we are experiencing heat and humidity. I sure wish I could be there in the greater Yellowstone area!

I enjoy these hikes so much . Thank you for sharing this magnificent area with us !

Good Morning Stan!

Amazing how you do all of this, would be an honor to take a walk like this with you

Thankyou stan very much I like seeing wildlife

I like it when hikers bring spares in case you need it you got one esp. bear spray.

Love Stan’s videos. I’m a fan.

You're a brave man walking out there in the dark and in grizzly country.

Awesome!!! 👍😎🇨🇦⭐🐻

Thanks for the video Stan!! Great shots of the grizzly.

Here in Florida I use Sawyers Permethrin spray on my gear and clothing to kill any Ticks that want to hitch a ride or have a meal. One treatment is good for 6 weeks or 6 washings. All those fishy looking small streams I would be packing my Tenkara rod and some fly's to tease the fish with.

Man’s wisdom or Stan’s wisdom? I like Stan’s.

Caught a bear by our garage on trail cam last night. Funny how you get a feeling one's around lol!

Been kinda quiet. Hope all is well. Miss your quiet walks. Heading up there for first week of June for some YNP time. Sending the thanks for the beauty

Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your hike with us.

Excellent video!

Thanks for letting me tag along on your travels😅

Thank you Stan for another great video. How were the snow levels in Yellowstone area this year? Was it above average?

Thank you stan .so nice .

Walking at dark in grizzly country Stan. Great idea 😂

Awesome video!!

Vraiment cool !

❄️ snow! 😮

Hi Stan, Love your videos. They're relaxing. Aside from size, how can you identify a male grizzly from a female from being some distance away?

I wonder why Stan suggests walking quietly so as not to scare any bears. Everywhere you go in "grizzly bear country", signs advise hikers to make sure they make enough noise to give bears the chance to notice them and retreat safely (attacks usually being the result of a bear being surprised)...

Hello my dear friend, how are you today? 🤔 I don't know how you can see anything it's so dark out? 👀 When I started watching your video, I thought that the light was your headlight and here you say it's the moon! 😆😅😄😃😃😂😀😊😉

Curious about the new permitting for videos? I noticed this was a new one. Enjoying all your videos.

So you don't have to be concerned with a bear on a carcass, like a winter killed elk? You're walking in the dark.

Awesome art work Stan! Have you hiked all of Yellowstone yet?

Your luck will run out one day. Alaska resident here.

Appreciate the equipment list. Do you always wear gaiters?

Stan are you still currently in Yellowstone?

Is that a big Boar?

Stan - maybe an obvious question - but why the bear spray in two locations on your pack? Do you keep it in a shoulder holster in case you have a close encounter? (Ever used it?) 11:18 I thought you said ‘texts’ - I was gonna say - my memory of YSNP: texts are not a concern…

Share the location please....

GOOD MORNING STAN HOW ARE YOU?

I would be completely scared.... You have a death wish man

Have you ever had to spray a bear

Forgot your 357 magnum pistol

Wow I wouldn’t consider that wise. Traversing a known grizzly bear habitat, seemingly with no firearm (hopefully I’m wrong on that), in the dark, in the spring when bears are starved and guarding winterkill, with one of your two insurance policies tucked away useless in your pack. An encounter is imminent. Better hope the wind is blowing directly at the bear when you attempt to spray it. But it won’t be. I write this only to keep the uninitiated doing something half this stupid. I wish you luck.

Do you have a death wish?! I don’t understand the need to walk there in darkness!

looks like he's digging for rodents.

They should be removed from the ESA. They are recovered.

Question, Stan: when will the prophecy of the seven Thunders become activated? Answer: in a little over 1,000 years from now when God's Prison Planet for the Fallen Angels becomes Mars instead of Earth, like it is now! Are you still certain that you know the content of my videos without even watching them, because you also have read the entire authorized King James Bible, Stan?😮❤

His day is coming if he keeps up this amount of arrogance

Stan, your a good woodsman but pretty naive to think grizzlies are going to put up with you walking on the trail or cross country and coming up on a bear feeding on a carcass. I’ve spent my entire 70 plus years working in the woods and recreating in the outdoors. There’s a reason the park service works hard keeping folks away from dangerous critters. You should hear yourself talk about the dangers of bears. I hope it never happens but I would not be surprised if you have a situation or dangerous issue with a grizzly. Your spreading bad behavior’s to the inexperienced. Be safe, from speedgoat

Stan, I enjoy your vids. My only, unsolicited, advice is, Don’t risk for views.
