Condolences to Tom Lorig's friends and family, but as another 78-year-old, I'd be willing to bet that this is some version of how he hoped he'd go. When you get to that age, you're very aware of the truth staring you in the face at the end of your life and you start to worry about becoming incapacitated. Anyone I talk to in their 70s and 80s has the same fears. No one wants to end up bedridden or vegetative - or just losing their independence. He was probably in great shape and had some more good years ahead of him, but there's always that fear - and I can promise you that we all hope that the end will be quick. And best of all, he died in a place he loved doing what he loved. Sad and stunning for those he left behind, yes, but don't we all wish we could go that way...

For sure. Go fast, go where you love, go happy. All we hope for as humans. RIP Ranger Lorig. 😢

From what I read. Yellowstone needs a human management plan, not so much a bison management plan. Condolences to the ranger Tom Lorig's family. I'm sure he loved his job , being in such grandeur every day.

This was such a sad and heart warming news episode. From Tom Lorig’s unexpected death. Our sincere condolences to the family. And the buoy washing up 4,000 miles away. I anticipate every single one of your news cast. They are the best. Thank you so much!

Sorry to hear about Ranger Lorig’s death. Such a dedicated individual will be sorely missed.

That was a lot of sad news this week. Prayers for the family. Lynn and Danny

My condolences to Tom's family and friends. Seems he was doing what he loved when he went.

Buoys will be buoys. ⚓ That's something I learned in anchor management class.

Gud wun 😂😂 and gulls will be gulls. I happy when I see buoys and gulls getting along.

Many of these tourist towns have made it impossible for workers to live within 60 miles of work. Moab, Sun Valley and Jackson Hole are just a few.

I just found this channel recently. The content you find and share is excellent. Keep up the great work!

I live near Hartsel, CO and have passed a ranch with many white bison in that location.

I’m saddened by the news of Ranger Lorig’s passing. Usually when we hear about a line-of-duty death in the NPS, it’s in law enforcement or search/rescue. I can’t think of another case of an interpretive ranger losing their life while working, though I’m guessing it must have happened before at some point.

Condolences to his friends and family

It looks like to me they could build a bridge where the road dropped.

That flag is gonna fly 🇺🇸

Ranger Lorig rest in peace. Great report on the outher subjects.

Nice, YOU do a Great job, good information.

Oh so sad Ranger Lorig died. Praying for his family.

Great update to the 🇺🇸 Issue!

Nice bear crapping edit! 6:00 mark 😂😂😂😂

May Ranger Lorig rest in peace. Fantastic job reporting on all these news items, Thank you RV Miles!

Heading to The Badlands tomorrow from WA State. Little Big Horn, Devils Tower, Jewel Cave, Badlands, Rushmore, Deadwood, then North to TR , both sections. Wind Cave closed for elevator repairs. RIP Tom Lorin. 🇺🇸

Lol, you mean they didn't want to come 4k miles to pick up their bowie?

Where? Do U do this Pod Cast? Window view is great!! Thx 4 all U have done over the yrs.! Helped us tremendously!🤓

Thank you for this great update. I'm so sorry to hear of the death of this amazing park ranger who must've had stories to tell from his decades of NPS service. These rangers are so special, it's a big loss for our parks. And thanks for the unbiased reporting of the "flying flag" situation....it can be taken many ways, and honestly---who knows. It may have stemmed from a flapping flag causing a distraction from the view, rather than some other politically-based thing that we all seem to want to jump on nowadays. Well done. Oh, and the grizzly bears....wow!!! That mama has her paws full.

Stayed in Victor last Friday, Saturday and Sunday night (it was already booked before I knew of the “mudslide” that had happened Thursday. The hotel staff let me know of the detour as I had checked in…. (And said it should be open by the next day) Later that night the entire road collapsed. It took 2 hours each way to and from the Tetons national park…… I feel very bad for the locals in Victor that have to commute to Jackson. I had to deal with it for 2 days only. It’s a beautiful drive but doubled the commute time to the park.

Good informational video. So sorry for the Ranger’s loss. Do the other bison accept the white baby?

Could any flapping flag scare or harm wildlife? I would think not.

Quintuplets!

That's 2 white bison born this year. Other was a girl.

Sad to here of the rangers passing.

6:00 if a bear craps in the woods does it end up on KZread?

Poor rich Jackson business owners!

A grizzly bear with diarrhea at 6:02? Really?

The National Park Service (NPS) denied claims that park officials at Denali National Park ordered a construction crew to not fly the American flag over Memorial Day weekend. The claim appears to have originated from a report by Alaska Watchman, a conservative news outlet, which cited an anonymous construction worker.May 27, 2567 BE

Get your story straight before you put it out there.

I think you'd find most SAR personnel, who are often volunteers, would be against that. There are many debates going back at least 20 years and rescue costs. To my knowledge, some ordinary rescues like helivacs are in fact billed (often $50,000) while NH has had a system for a decade that decides if your rescue is free, or billed to you because you set yourself up for failure.
