You're very welcome!

Hey Alan - we just finished season 10! Congrats my friend. You were an easy person to root for. A small suggestion for next time if I may :) In the edit - flip the clips of you tying the knot upside down so we can view what the knot looks like from your (first person view) perspective. Or set the tripod up that way when filming. It will help some of us have a better/easier understanding of the knot taking shape as if we were tying it ourselves.

Thanks for watching!

Great demonstration! I find myself using the Canadian Jam knot all the time. As a note for next time, I think showing the second clove hitch in the lashing demonstration might have been better choice for completion.

Agreed. At the time, I was thinking I had already demonstrated the knot so I did not want to be redundant.

You are a great teacher. Your instruction is so understandable. Great videos.

Thank you very much!

I wish you showed yourself setting up those sticks like a teepee to see how the lashing works in action. Other than that, very useful video! I didn't know about going through the second loop on the fisherman's knot, will try that out next time I'm fishing! Cheers mate

Yup! Bear hang!

Thanks again for another awesome video. That book was sweet! I have a question for you: There has been a pretty sad story going around Reddit about a couple and their dog who were killed by a grizzly in the backcountry. I have seen much controversy about whether a gun or bear spray is the best to discourage an attack like that. To be clear, my comment/question here is not to continue that discussion or the fussing within it, but I'm not sure how to make my question clear without bringing that part up. That said, I believe you only had black bears where you were on the show. And, I know that there are obviously a lot of variables when it comes to taking down an animal like any bear--especially a grizzly. Also, I am not a hunter. I'm writing because I'm curious if there is that much of a difference between a grizzly bear's body and black bear's body that you can take a black bear down with an arrow--but not a grizzly with an arrow? Or, is an arrow as regularly effective with grizzlies enough to trust a bow, alone, for hunting them, given the same conditions a hunter might have with a black bear? Is it riskier to do this with either species? You only had a bow, and were obviously hoping to get a bear, so it must be possible. I anticipate that there is not a simple answer to my questions, but I'm curious about your thoughts on the subject.

Black bears and grizzly bears are regularly taken with archery equipment, including the largest brown bears and polar bears (where permitted by hunting regulations). The biggest black bears reach 500-600 pounds, and the biggest male grizzlies can reach 1500 pounds. Grizzlies and black bears react differently to threats/danger. Black bears will often flee, but grizzlies often deal with threats/danger with aggression. I have never hunted grizzly bears, but have had several encounters with them; one could have been ugly. Bears will usually expire in less than a minute if the vitals are hit with an appropriate arrow/broadhead/bow setup. I feel that most (not all) bow hunters pursuing grizzly bears with archery equipment usually have someone backing them up with a firearm; things could go south really fast. Did this answer your question? Properly selected archery equipment is deadly on all bears when struck in the heart lung area, but due to the different nature and size of black bears and grizzly bears, some hunters take more precautions when bow hunting grizz.
