Solo Camping in Grizzly Country - Slough Creek in May 

I like how that elk appeared totally unfazed by the nearby grizzly!

I love that area of Yellowstone, go twice a year, spring and fall. Lamar Valley is always my go to place.

Looked really peaceful!! Glad that big grizzly was on the other side of the river lol!!

I named my cats Hayden and Lamar, after the valleys in Yellowstone. I just love that park and enjoy these videos.

Great job as usual Stan! Thanks for bringing the beauty of Yellowstone to those of us who can not visit very often. You rock!

You are so blessed to be able to spend time in such a gorgeous area with such amazing wildlife. Stay safe and keep the videos comin'!

Stan, Thank you for sharing the beauty in Yellowstone... its an amazing place...

Nice! Thank you for the walk this morning... Always love your Slough Creek videos!!!

Never a disappointing hike, and always just breathtaking! Thank you.

I spent a couple of nights at 2S3. And this wonderful video and sparks my memories that time!

Love your beautiful art work, Stan. Was nostalgic seeing Sough Creek. In September 2011 I scattered my brother's ashes on a little knoll overlooking Slough Creek.

You are an expert, thanks for sharing such professionalism. I can't believe you walked by those two bisons that close>

What a gorgeous hike! Thanks for taking me along.

Cowboy camping in Yellowstone… you’re brave! I suppose a tent isn’t going to protect anyone but it seems to make it feel safer lol

This is just. . wonderful.

Very peaceful, indeed, Stan. Loved your comfy setup underneath the tree cushioned with pine needles !

A very great time in the spring time on slough. Loved all the animals , variety of amazing shots . Really nice to see that great big grizzly enjoying the great spring food . Very relaxing video . Nice comfy seat you made . Nice place of peaceful campsite. Thank you Stan.

Magnificent Stan,your videos have always made me feel like I am right out there with you on a nature adventure. Makes me feel so at peace with earth in all its wonders. Thank you for sharing this with me.

Thank you so much Stan

My god... you make me so damn jealous! Beautiful as always, Stan. The wildlife was out in force. I haven't been down Slough Creek, yet. The footage of the deer and moose playing was unbelievable. I would have been gitty taking some of those shots. Just wow.

I spent many nights in Slough valley. 2S4 is my favorite spot. I have stayed at 2S6 too. Great video.

Love all the wildlife and the simplicity of your videos. Were those Sandhills Cranes? Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Stan.

Somehow I have missed this video! This is sooooo wonderful on so many levels. Thank you, Stan! I also loved the tidbit about the birds video! Yay!

That was a big grizzly. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful hike! Great wildlife - so much fun to see! I am always amazed at the cranes that you see - I have not seen them when we have driven through the park and I didn't realize that they live there too! Your art work is so, so detailed and pretty! Thank you for taking us along!

Enjoyed your two days in the wild. Don’t know if I would sleep under a tree, but you always surprise me. Great shots of the bear.

hey Stan, your winter wolf drawing is hanging above our kitchen sink! We love it. We’ll be doing some wildlife photography along Slough Creek this weekend.

thank you for another wonderful video

Beautiful sites, thanks 🙏

Wildlife - If your small cute and delicious your lunch 🐹Yikes! but not today cheers stan always a great watch

I loved o the little *nest* you made for yourself, sand cranes got nuttin on you🤣. I guess your not too worried about bears! This was so beautiful thank you for sharing💖

The best video I've watched. And the background music is Perfect. Thank you

Another enjoyable video, thanks.

Thanks Stan

Certainly braver than I my friend! Again fantastic video? See any animals the night you slept out?

Imagining that Sitting Bull and his warriors came through Yellowstone a few times fascinates me!!!

How do you only have 7k subscribers?!

I think my cat enjoys your videos as much as I do, the big game had her attention but when she seen the crane she jumped up got on the computer and sniffed the screen then looked over the monitor to see where the crane was. LOL! Nice hiking video. 👍🏻

Beautiful as always Mr. Mills. TY for sharing. God Bless.

I just watched my first video. You do a great job 🤠🤠. love them. looking forward to seeing more.

Love all your content. It’s nice to go along with you!

What kind of water purification do you use? I saw the little moving stream by your first campsite. Loved seeing all the animals. Thanks!

Very nice Stan thanks for sharing.

Ha, I see those antlers are still at 2s6. Such a fantastic site in the evening

Very relaxing video.

Just more than jealous as I sit here in my office! Can't wait to get out of here!

Great art work

Nice relaxing video

Great videos Stan. Of all the streams and rivers I fish, the beauty of Slough Creek is my #1. I get up there every fall, late September into October. Have NEVER seen the level of bear activity you see. Am I just missing sightings or is the timing not good for bear activity? I carry a big scope so ability to see wildlife not an issue.

Hi Stan, may I ask what is your background, are you a former park ranger or field biologist? It seems you have a lot of experience and are consistently able to capture wildlife and handle grizzly encounters. Could you give some advice as to how you prepared for your current “hobby” ? And of course thank you for all the wonderful footage and work that you do!

Awesome video, Stan. Looks like a fun trip. Amazing that your vehicle was the only one at the trailhead. Is that fairy typical at Slough Creek this time of year?

yellowstone it’s beautiful place

We were in Yellowstone May 12-15th. Every trail we wanted to hike had a closed sign on it. When did they open them?

Do you keep a written journal during your hikes and camping trips?

Hi Stan I'll be at the Slough Creek campground in August. Any must see trails?

Was that the same grizzly in the different shots? Great video!

Awesome, as always! 👍✨🇨🇦

Stan, can I come with you on your video’s 😃 Love your channel 🥰

Check out our beautiful shot of a mama and her baby black bear!

Stan another awesome vid. This is one of our favorite trails. We have never camped over night though. How long does it normall take to get a back country camp pass. Thinking of making a late August trip.

Do the park signs such as "2S3" or "2S6" mean anything other than designating a particular location?

Slough Creek Yup

👍 😎

Question: Can you identify the birds in this video? Love seeing all the wildlife. You have a good eye for spotting them! Thank you for your videos.

It’s a little fuzzy to me. Are you hiking with one other person?

Are the ticks bad yet?

How hard was it to get permits? I’ve done a lot of backpacking outside of YNP, never in the park.

Is it pronounced "slow" creek or "slawf" creek? Anyone know? Great stuff Stan. Thank you.

Ok my bird watchers!! What kind of Crane/Bird is that around 5:10 or so?

Nice as always.Do you know where the two wagon teams were going to and from ? Silvertip ranch I presume.

The age old question of would you rather see the grizzly bear that mauls you to death, or would you rather see nothing as you get mauled...

Where can we find your artwork?

You find any antlers?

🐗

Hi Love your work and would like to purchase some art if available
