As someone who grew up in Cali, and was in the Sierras every single weekend, I’ve gotta say…. That bear was over 300 pounds, second you’re lucky the door lock was broken, because if the bear couldn’t use the handle, he would have just ripped the door off, best case scenario. Never, ever leave food or coolers, even empty, in a vehicle in bear country. They can open a car like a soda can. The black bears here range from 300-600 pounds. Glad y’all are safe, been watching you since the flatbed time-lapse days.

The bears are using a laptop with an SDR radio dongle, and they've programmed it to perform the "Relay" attack where your key's very range limited RFID signal is extended from your room to the vehicle. The only solution is to sneak into their den while they're sleeping, and set the bear's laptop keyboard to Japanese (they don't do well with foreign languages).

Bears have an incredible sense of smell. Decades ago I was camping in bear country in California. I had mixed up some powdered milk in a 1 litre plastic bottle, and put it under a rock in a stream to keep it cool till morning. About dawn we woke up to see a bear holding that plastic bottle like a baby bottle drinking my milk through holes he had punctured through the bottle.

Drove one of these configured as a flatbed dump in my early twenties. We used it as a stem truck. Worked for a winery and the left over stems (after the grapes were striped off) went in to the truck to be dumped out back for compost. Also drove it on the California Bay Area freeways to pick up barrel racks and such. Steering wheel had 45 degrees of free play so it was quite the thrill to drive. It was the exact same color blue, so I need to see some blue retained. How about a yellow body, but retain the original blue hood. Yes, it will look goofy, but if that is the intended plan, then it's OK.

Our friend was in WY and had a bear break in their new Ford 4-door truck. All doors were locked. The bear got his nails in the rear crack or edge of the rear door. He then pressed on the door itself while pulling with his nails and was able to pop the door open. Amazingly, the door was not damaged. The lock worked and the door was not sprung.

I spent 10 summers of my life working a YMCA summer camp just outside Kings Canyon National Park. I've seen the aftermath of bears ripping locked Camry doors open, and going through back seats to get to a Subway wrapper in the trunk. You NEVER leave food in a vehicle in the Sierras. We'd have bears come down from the park to our lake, and have had to have the ranger come relocate them back, and lake maintenance had a shotgun with salt shells to chase bears off the properties. Our garbage sheds were constantly being rebuilt, and the raccoons would work in cohorts with the bears to get into them! Good years!
@richardmaxwell5371 Ай бұрын
Best to let the bears have any food that they want. When I was one years old my mother had me in her arm when we were in Yosemete. My sister had a sandwich in her hand (about five years old) and she taunted the bear with it which was a mistake. The bear came for the sandwich and my mother stepped in front of it and it bit her. All of this happened while she was holding me. Not a fatal attack. I think it was just a nip to let my mom know to get the hell out of the way and let my sister know in no uncertain terms to release the sandwich. Not very smart to taunt a bear with food. Not sure if my sister ever learned her lesson though. She is over 80 years old and still obnoxious. Fortunately she did release the sandwich on that incident.

Good thing you got all these experts to explain your mistake! Spent 10 years as a park staffer, and this happens all the time. Bears are incredibly smart. I have no idea if it was really a ranger as the story goes, but there’s a saying that the challenge with bear proofing things is the significant overlap between the smartest bear and the dumbest human. It would be interesting to see how it got into Blue Steel, maybe you’ll find a broken door latch later. Although I would not have recommended the whole walk up and knock on the window technique, it worked and it was fun to watch!

Bears have learned to open door locks on vehicles, and teach their Cubs to do it so it won't become a lost art. But they only attack vehicles with food in them. When camping in Florida, they tell you to bag your food and hang it 20ft up in a tree, 200 ft away from camp. Also eat your food 200ft from camp, so there are no orders of food in your camp.

Lived in Truckee for several years. NEVER, EVER, leave food inside a car. BTW your bear was at least 2 bills or close to it - not 120! Also black bears won't attack unless you move threateningly towards them when they're cornered or towards a cub that's with them. They're as scared of you as you are of them, but sometimes they do faux charge at people who then turn and try to run... that can trigger their prey drive and result in a nasty claw-filled swat. Some states are even experimenting with bear feeding stations to lessen their desire to raid campers' and backpackers' food stashes. Bears around Tahoe and Truckee are adept at getting into vehicles - they are good at operating door handles. I left the turnkey in our trash bear box once and the bear twisted it and got into the box - littering the trash all over the place, followed by squirrels and crows the next morning. They'll lift up garage doors that aren't locked into an opener mech and crash through sliding glass doors to raid kitchens, especially in drought years where there's less food around in the wild. The bears around Homewood and Tahoma along Lake Tahoe are particularly problematic. You're just lucky they didn't mangle your vehicles more... I've seen them do a lot of damage! Doritos, Cheetos, chips etc are the most common attractors!

My vote goes without a doubt for yellow racing stripes on the spud truck! One horizontal racing stripe and one vertical 🇸🇪😊 And chromed, curved top, plain end stacks 💪

You all got lucky leaving that much food in your vehicles... If they weren't unlocked, the bruins would have caused thousands in damage to get in. And yes, they know how door handles work. Cars and houses too. I live near Tahoe and tourists cars are just bait so our cars get left alone, haha...

For the spud truck, I would paint the exterior yellow but keep the interior blue. It makes sense to paint it to match the rest of the fleet vehicles. But keeping the interior the original blue would just be a nice reminder of what it was.

Kinda my thoughts but leave a little blue on the outside as well.

Bears are smart. As campgoround host in bear country, we heard of a mother bear having a cub stand on a trash bin counterweight while she worked at the "Bear Proof Latch."
@richeyrich2203 Ай бұрын
Is anything ever really bear proof? After watching this and realizing that I always camp with my food in the car and myself in a tent either ontop of or near the car, and I’m doing it wrong. Like, how am I going to hang a heavy cooler in the trees? I’m thinking of ways I can put a bear proof container on the outside rack of my car and have it insulated like a cooler, so I can sleep inside and the bear can fiddle around outside..

Even without the full yellow paint job, it will still be recognizable as a MORR vehicle. It just needs your logo in the sides. You could paint the rooftop yellow and put a large logo on it so it shows up well on the drone shots.
@Jamisons_World Ай бұрын
34:45 - If it were my truck, I would do yellow to maintain brand consistency, but go with one you like vs being random and available, or has a really cool story to it! Maybe even like a CAT Yellow or something with an industrial vibe to play off the size 🎉 You could also do yellow over black! Since your logo has more than one color in it, but definitely enough yellow where you’re not wondering if it’s MORR pulling up!

I have fond memories of riding in a Corvair in '61. Our 5th-grade teacher at Santa Monica Jr. Academy promised all students who finished 100% of our math homework a ride downtown to get Danish Pastries. I never knew I liked Danish Pastries until then and it also instilled in me a love for math.

lol it happens everyday here in Tahoe. No food, drink (opened or not), gum, wrappers, diapers, smokes, fishing bait, cosmetics, medicines...you get the picture. Lucky he didn't get stuck and tear out the entire interior. Lock those doors without anything inside.

With that door being repaired, it would be nearly impossible to match the blue. I would say, paint the truck your signature yellow, but keep the hood center the original blue. It will be visible from the driver's seat, and a fitting homage to the the truck's history. And as someone already said, the blue and yellow are a complimentary color combo.

Garbage bears are crafty, once they know food is available in a location they will keep coming back. Lesson hear is " don't leave food in your vehicle" Matt and his team are really lucky that the bear didn't tear the seats up.

Numb nuts for leaving food in your truck in Tahoe. It’s super easy for them to open car doors. You’re way lucky he didn’t destroy your interior. I’ve lived up here since ‘82 and have had many run ins with bears. Really fun when they break down your back door and come into your house with two dogs INSIDE and a human undergoing chemo treatments.
