Surrounded by Bears! - The Land of THOUSANDS of Bears: Finland Bear Watching

Wave after wave of bears! They just keep coming. These creatures are my good friends so I spent several nights in the company of them. In Finland a 200 kilo heavy male brown bear is "tiny". The big ones are HUGE. Saw a bunch of these amazing brown bears on my latest little wildlife and bear watching adventure to Finland. This country is for sure the place to go if you want to watch, photograph and experience wild URSUS ARCTOS outdoors. I would love to travel to Finland again.

    Yes, I love it here so I came back one more time, been out there 2 nights, the video is FRESH. I am still there and one last trip out tonight. Easy to get hooked on this...will be back next year I believe. Long drive home tomorrow (780k drive)..

    Sandven Explorer I’m a huge fan of Hillëberg tents Chris, I love them. They’re not ultralight but they’re super strong, ideal for Scotland where the weather can change very quickly. I think you should see a professional about your bear addiction mate. 😉

    I have never seen a sow with cubs tolerating male presence without attacking him or run aways but actually approached him totally relaxed even laying down very close to the male.

    My only problem with this is that they associate human smell with food, and they feed them. I am not sure it will effect humans in a good way in the long term. And at the end the bear will be the one who will be hunted down.

    I am fine with being one of the "deplorables",. bear population booming in this area, more bears being hunted, healthy population...very little food used and much revenue to the locals who appreciate the bears, everyone happy.
