AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on KZfaq are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

My visit in 2014 was AMAZING! At one of the geyser walks a young couple had a dog on a leash, a park employee stopped them and said the dog wasn’t allowed. They objected because of the heat. They said no, it was too hot. The ranger replied open a window. They went back and forth and the woman just wouldn’t shut up, so the ranger raised his voice saying that a few years back a family’s dog jumped in, their son jumped in to save the dog, and the father jumped in to save his son and all three died. They passed us after they turned around and were just livid, so mad that the ranger would dare speak to them that way.

I bet those are the types of people who blame and sue afterwards (assuming they survived a mishap) because no one warned them about the dangers. 😁 Bless the rangers for standing their ground.

Authorities advise people to wear small bells when they walk so they will alert bears to their approach, and also to carry pepper spray in case of a close encounter. Brown bear poop is usually small, and contains the remains of berries and sometimes squirrel fur. Grizzly bear poop is larger, contains small bells, and smells like pepper spray.

Just remember to use bear spray, not just pepper spray that is intended to deter humans -- they are two different products. Bear spray is three times more potent than pepper spray and sprays out in a huge fog.

I witnessed a person who deliberately stomped through the crust and Fried their foot I always use caution when in the Forest (I love the wilderness) good common sense (which seems to be a rarity these days) will keep you safe, make noise, keep your distance, and be alert.

The last three years we have spent a lot of time at YNP and Grand Tetons. Last year wear were at Norris one a perimeter trail, trying to get a good spot for a photograph when a teen aged boy jumped into one of the momentarily quiet hot pots. I yelled at him to get out and fortunately he jumped right out. His father was maybe 100 yards away and running towards us. Years ago a couple of boys canoeing on the lake when their canoe overturned one swam right away to the nearby shore and survived the other had been told to stay with the boat if it overturned and did not. And of course every year people try to get close to the big critters. We've spent a lot of time in those parks over the years and still have more to see but sensible caution is needed there as well as many other parks.

I have been very lucky, because we Mom, Dad and I started going to Yellowstone in 1955. The best times were camping at Fishing Bridge Campground "Tent camping" and bear in the campground day and night. I remember chasing bears out of camp most day and you would hear them at night. The garbage cans were in the ground it had a big metal lid on it and a foot lever you used to open it, the bears are very smart animal's they would put a paw on the lever and open the lid stick their heads in the garbage can and have a good dinner. Fishing Bridge has changed the General Store, and gas station is still there but the old post office building, and The Haynes Picture Shop are all gone. Across the road and a little toward east was the entrance to the old tent campground which is gone now.

Great video. This can apply to other National Parks or visiting mountains in the Western U.S. Being a Westerner and spending a lot of my life in the wild places, it always amazes me how people think and act when in the wild. A lot of these people think of Yellowstone as the world's largest petting zoo. Not to mention dressing inappropriately to avoid exposure or dehydration. Most come through without a scratch, fortunately, and have had the time of their life.

And always carry a daypack even if going on the shortest day hikes. Water, 1st aid kit, food, communication device, shelter and light. I see so many youtubers on day hikes with nothing but a small water bottle. Same with day hikers out in our parks. I have had to use my 1st aid kit on a day hike and having a pain deadening 1st aid spray and bandages for my hands made it easier for me to concentrate on my footing and make it safely back to camp. (grabbed onto a bush to prevent myself from going down when a trail, it's soil loosened by rain, suddenly gave way underneath me)

Worked in West Yellowstone in 2020. What amazed me the most were the speeding drivers. This is a huge park. It takes an hour to get anywhere. You have to plan for long days. Part of the beauty of the park are the views and vistas. Take some time to enjoy the natural beauty, you might even see an animal in the woods. Don't take risks while driving, just slow down and enjoy.

I was camped in Yellowstone in 1994. I was driving south through Hayden Valley when I came across a traffic accident involving a cow bison and a small rental car. The car had two guys from Germany apparently driving too fast when they came over a small rise in the road right into a herd of bison. The two tourists were miraculously not hurt but the car was totaled. I was told that the cow bison stood up and stumbled off of the opposite side of the road and about 40 feet out into the sage brush where she collapsed and died. What really angered me was that cars were blasting through the accident sight and were cussing me out when I was telling them to slow down.

There are chapters on each subject you mentioned plus deaths related to avalanches, falling trees, falling rocks, lost people freezing to death, poisonous plants, kids throwing rocks from cliffs trying to reach the river and there were people on trails below them and many more stories of fatalities. It is a graphically detailed book. It's a very interesting book and if more people read it there may be fewer people wanting to visit YNP. To steal a movie title, "A Million Ways To Die in Yellowstone". On the subject of guns, if you did shoot a bear it would only pi$$ him off.

In '74 we rode our motorcycles to Yellowstone and camped near Fishing Bridge. On Hwy 20 was a small meadow with pull out parking. We were riding along when we noticed a small group of people pointing at (what we could see) a mother with 2 kids. We stopped to see what was going on and then saw the main attraction .... 2 small cub bears! The mother was trying to feed the bear cubs some sliced bread! Instantly my wife and I started yelling at them while I sent my friend to find a ranger. The mother refused to listen to all our warnings... the cubs were 'so cute'. Soon a ranger came to the area code 3! He ran to the mother/kids and grabbed the kids... mother followed of course and was talking about 'the cubs are so cute' all the time. When they finally made it to his vehicle he read them the riot act. The father soon arrived and the entire family was ejected from the park. Mother had no idea what danger she was putting her family in. Because the mother bear wouldn't be as cute as the cubs!

Sean & Kristy: We will be camping in Yellowstone NP this coming September. Thanks for the heads-up on “best practices” while visiting and staying alive. I won’t say if I’ll be packin’…but between our killer cocker spaniel, my no-nonsense spouse, and bear spray…I think we’ll be OK. Oh yeah, I think I’ll leave my wooden dutch hiking shoes at home.

Be prepared for very cold weather. Family went in August and froze camping out. My folks are from WY.

The cocker spaniel will be bear meat. Packin' and bear spray is great. Dogs are a big NO.

I can’t say I’ve never seen a bear in a campground in Yellowstone. In 1962 my family and I were camping in Yellowstone and the bears were numerous in the campground every time if day! I really think this was before they cracked down on trash being left out and food ! I’m 69 years old and I was 10 so things have changed a lot.

You have to time bear spray perfectly. The bear must be within the spray’s range. Too far, and it has no effect. Too near, and it’s too late. If the bear is charging, you must time it so the bear runs into the cloud of spray. Get it wrong, and you get mauled, or worse.

Thanks for telling this safety info. When we were there … some people just didn’t get it! Someone was hurt while we were there.. I was scolded by the park ranger for jumping out of the car to photograph a bear! I realize now (after she explained) how this was very dangerous! Animals are so beautiful! I would have a BISON In My back yard! Love your photos of bison…

@jamescollins2499 2 жыл бұрын

These animals are beautiful and yet very dangerous , simply because they may feel threatened and intimidated by the presence of a human and end up hurting the person.. I have always played safe on my visits to Yellow stone. Better safe than sorry i guess lol Nova . How about you ?

@michellegarry1872 2 жыл бұрын

Nova, I felt the same way about Bison. Then I watched a few videos of bison ranchers. Yeah, no thanks. Extremely dangerous animals.

Yes, it's legal to carry a firearm Yellowstone, but it is illegal to discharge a firearm, i.e., a Federal offense.

Good review. Your overview reminds me of the time my family went to Yellowstone back in the late ‘70’s. I can’t wait to go back again in the next year or so to spend a few weeks if possible. Out of curiosity, does Baby Girl react in a snarly way when Sean is not around?

She will growl if she is comfortably sitting with someone and another person tries to take her. 😁

Read the book 'Death in Yellowstone' on the way to the park. It will cool your jets. I worked at Tower Falls one summer when someone just had to step over the barrier wall above the canyon for a better picture and got vertigo from the twisting patterns in the canyon walls instead and fell 1500 feet and was found down stream 2 weeks later far from where he fell. The same summer just outside West Yellowstone at Hebgan Lake two campers were pulled out of their tent by a grizzly. One was eaten like a burrito in his sleeping bag, the other one escaped. While at the top of Lower Falls I noticed a curious woman off trail standing by the river's edge. She took off her sweater, folded it neatly and set it on a rock. Then she took off her wedding ring, laid it on top of the sweater and to the horror of everyone watching the river go over the edge, caught a glimpse of a body flashing over the edge of a 320' drop. Accidents are not the only way to die in Yellowstone!

Come up to the Sierras; every campground has a resident bear. I boondocks in the national forest and have had bear in our campsite. Most of your tips are common sense; unfortunately that is in short supply during the peak season. Stay safe.

@retiredcajunlady8835 2 жыл бұрын

LOL Neither of you are nagging...but you both are teaching safety for newbies and reminding the been there, done that crew that safety comes first. And y'all did it beautifully! The only thing this ole gal would add...NEVER approach any wild animal, never try to get a wild animal's attention, and never touch a wild animal. If you come across a wounded animal, inform the authorities and let the rangers handle them. Thank you both!

Unless you are taking an absolute hand cannon (.44 magnum, .50cal), your normal self-defense type pistols (9mm, .40cal, etc.) will NOT do you any good vs a bear. Shooting a bear with a small caliber pistol will only anger it, which will in turn exacerbate the situation.
