Thanks for the shout-out Andrew! Joey said you were going to see bears in there. He was right. lol I don’t think I would have slept at all on that trip. 😂😂 Glad you two made it out safely.

​@NorthwestWanderer Awesome video! Did a 90 mile trek this summer through part of the country you traveled! Got a bunch of ideas for the Absarokas, if you guys are looking for more partners!

Great effort - thank you! And Joey is still out there making a rare appearance! Joey, miss your stuff - hope to see more. Happy trails, gents!

We also use "brush barriers" around our tent, but primarily to discourage animals from walking too close and damaging the tent by snagging a guy rope. Often our "barriers" are just twigs or branches leaned on or against the ropes to (hopefully) increase their visibility. We began doing this after our rain fly was torn (at Ferry Lake) by something snagging a guy while we were day hiking the two summits just north and northeast of the lake. This was during a 2017 backpacking trip that we took to see the eclipse, the "parting of the waters", S. Fork Yellowstone, some summits, etc. It is a beautiful area. We only saw one Grizzly.

Fantastic job Andrew. Your best yet! Great to see you and Joey hiking together, and who better to hike that country with!? Joey wasn't kidding on his Patreon when he said you got into bears. Great hike, nice work.

Superb adventure. And a hi ho to Joey. Best hiker in the world to have with you in the grizzly country. Thank you for sharing

As far as close encounters of animals, Teton was it. Worked there 08. They use trails dawn dusk. Closest Griz was 120 yards. Yellowstone griz 20 feet several times. Tooth saw them in meadows along Muddy Creek. Especially that big meadow. So far, none have killed me. From East KY TN. Black bear central. But walked into 7 out here. Like 5 to 25 feet. Teton Yosemite.

Nice shot of the American Dipper (24:10)! Their habitat is fast-moving mountain streams and waterfalls. Sometimes they even swim under the water. Cheers

Terrific viewing.Thanks Andrew and Joey.Always enjoy you work!

Wow!! What amazing footage! Keep up the great work. Look forward to many more.

Did an awesome trip there 12-13 years ago. Great area to hike with the views and numerous unmarked outfitter trails. Nice to see HD video of some of the spots we covered. Camped in the meadow at 31:26:00 then popped up the the ridge to get a good look at Younts after dinner.

That area is so beautiful! Nice view of the Tetons.

Beyond great guys!!! Thank you!!!

We love your photography skills! Ditto our grizzly bears and Joey Coconato!

Outstanding. I used to horsepack in below Perry N. Boday. Just truly tremendous. Thanks for the great work!

Awesome bear footage. Its so weird that they eat so many things. For a minute the sow looked like it was just eating grass. They might have been digging bulbs up too.

I love your artistry!

Found your channel by chance and have been enjoying your content! good to see Joey, his channel disappeared thought he hung up his hiking boots.wonder where to check out his content now a days?

Does anyone know where they would put their food at the camp that was highlighted around an hour and 15 min? There weren't any trees so I was wondering how they'd elevate the food to keep it from critters. Thanks in advance. This is my first time watching this channel. It is very beautiful and educational.

Like the dual use beer cushions! Beer always makes up for any weight cutting. Hard to get sleep when you know bears are close by, especially grizzlies. Had a black bear stroll through my camp site in Yellowstone this week and stop to sniff my tent at sunset, not a good feeling. Not sure why the park put a backcountry site in the middle of a berry patch.

Bro! Love yur content and filming! I just subscribed as I think the algorithms sent yur video to me as I’ve been looking for joeys channel. It’s sad his channel is gone.

It’s funny, I was up in the Sawtooth Wilderness and didn’t see one bear nor any signs of bears, and that is far more remote than the Teton wilderness. I guess they like the grassier areas that have more berries/plants etc.

Badass video. Was this July or August? I wanted to hike in this area and check out Younts peak but can only do it early to mid July. Not sure if the snow will be melted out by then. The time lapse shots were nicely done. Just sub to your channel.

Thx again Andrew. How far do you estimate you were from the first set of four (5) grizzlies were you and again the sow and 2 cubs later? I think your camera is the one you zoomed for the pics. What were you using to zoom in on the grizzlies? Agreed, that one sow was acting strange. Appreciate your time.

Hello! The first set of bears we saw according to google maps measure tool we were ~4100 feet away (1.25km). The angry sow with the 2 cubs we bumped into 5 minutes later we were (when I filmed her) probably 500-700 feet? The closest she got, once she ran across the creek as we were leaving, was probably within around 400 feet but we weren't filming then - bear spray was out and ready! The camera is the Sony AX53 which IMO is the best camcorder out there right now especially for Image/Stabilization/Weight/Size/Price/Features

There is just nothing like THE Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem" in the Lower 48. I just sigh at the High Sierras, North Cascades, Canadian Rockies' fanboys who are hellbent on seeking hight routes, constant vertical relief, jut, elegant mountain landscapes filed under the "Swiss Alps" stereotype, and instant gratification hikers - I don't disagree with their love for such amazing views as I appreciate such as well - yet thinking such does not exist in abundance in the GYE = absolute nonsense x 1000. You gotta put on your courage pants, gear up, and be prepared & patient when backcountry hiking the GYE. I also suggest CDT hikers need to go off route and extend their thru hikes in order to enjoy the magic of the GYE. The GYE has it all, plus so much more. Countless unnamed waterfalls, some of the largest calderas on the planet, plenty of ooh and ahh vertical relief (The Winds, The Tetons, The Beartooths, Sunlight Basin and many rarely hiked sections of the mighty, intimidating Absarokas). The wildlife of GYE is unmatched by the Pacific Coast ranges on the Left Coast until BC and into the great North. The fascinating, geological DNA of the GYE Rockies is so overlooked by vertical relief hikers. The transition from granite to volcanic breccia peaks at the junction of Beartooth Highway (Pilot n Index Peak to Beartooth Plateau - literally an inverted mountain range) is a stunning marvel of geological, tectonic forces. There are high routes in the Absarokas that need perhaps an Andrew Shurka type of passion. I'm stunned he hasn't charted one yet. Andrew and his wife Lacy, among others, document hikes that frankly make Kraig Adams, as well as the peak bagging, thru hiking adventure types less interesting to watch as these videos are too often manicured and manufactured for superficial views, shameless, gear-sponsorship advertising, while portraying an unrealistic, detached perception of mountain hikes that are human-centric instead of the necessary inclusion of the greater flora and fauna kingdom essential to the wilderness experience. This video blew me away. Keep rocking the wilderness explorations Mr. Andrew. The dude you were hiking with, seen some of his videos as well - good stuff too. But you're on a different level.

When you camp out somewhere like you were near the top of wall mountain. Where do you put your food? Didn't see a tree for miles but didn't see a lot of bears in that area.. let me know how you handle those situations...thx
