Park rangers are advising hikers and campers in national parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter. They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance, so they won’t be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them, which might cause a bear to charge. Visitors are told they should also carry a pepper spray can just in case they encounter a bear. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear’s sensitive nose and it will run away. It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear droppings so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognise the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat. Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.
If you meet a bear just distract it by feeding it the couple who believes fracking realises evil spirits! Ive just left something in the oven ....in Shropshire! Great vlog, Wishing you both well!
Ha!Ha! Fracking releases evil spirits... sounds like the effect of altitude sickness, don't you think! Which could possibly be scarier than grizzly bears!😎
You might be wise to try and procure another spare wheel and tire that will fit the van. You should buy the best tire patch kit you can find, the roads can be brutal on tires. It’s kind of a shame you’re on this big trans earth trip, y’all could easily spend a lot more time in Canada and the US. Thanks for the video!
😆😆 Yep, the mosquitos are no joke! Looks like you have plenty of defensive supplies. From the "flying daddy long legs" description, I wonder if the biggun you saw was a crane fly. They are an intimidating sight, but basically harmless. Looking forward to getting to know Sam & Andy thru your videos! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
The jumbo jets will not break us LOL (mwaaahhhhhhh ha ha - that was an attempt at an evil laugh !!) On a serious note - we have had such a great time with Sam, Andy and family xx
👋oh I grew up in Wisconsin and the mosquitoes are as big as hummingbirds their I believe😳. Wear white as it reflects heat,they are drawn to dark colors ie black brown they gravitate towards heat, we ate garlic a lot and we hung a downy dryer sheet out of our pocket, it really helped. Just thought I'd let you know 🙂
Bear has to be called Bear or Alaska! You are bear-prepared for sure hehe. Hope you get to see some. Take care. Can't wait till you get into the mountains x
Glad your feeling better. There a film about the Hwy of tears. It's so sad. It's mainly one make of female missing. or murder they say over 4,000 and just sad . be safe and hear those mosquitoes are big enough to ride. Have y'all delta with any smoke or fires , sadly millions of Alaska land has burned or burning. Bear alert all set. Have a blessed day
Amazing landscape views & clouds formations along your journey northbound! You need a door bug netting screen (magnetic, just add a rod) for Alaska wilderness. Teddy 🧸 "FISHer Jr " or "Salmmy" (grizzly do like their salmons )! 🐻🧡 🐻 🐟🌲
Sooo pleased to see you looking better Chris, hoping you both are enjoying the next leg as much as we are watching it. Thank you for the amazing vlog and the consistency of videos. Being as you're in Canada and also the colour of the bear we thought of a name "Maple" 💜
Great vlog guys! and OMG Marianne looked like she could star in a horror film with that mosquito net on... Take care and be safe! Don't feed the bears!
Hi!👋from New Mexico 🇺🇲 "Jewel Brix"name for your new teddy. Glad Chris is feeling better....so very glad you posted as I was so missing your video's 💯😟 so I heard that you take ammonia place it in a spray bottle with some water and spray around Trudy will repell bears they don't like the smell of ammonia. Thought I would tell you. Mariann you look more rested 🙂 thankfully. Have fun,fun,fun...and angels all around you!
I know the both of you are obsessed with the Bear problem. Let me help you out, if by chance you are on a trail and see fresh Scat you can easily tell if it's a Black Bear or a Grizzly Scat. The Grizzly Bear Scat will about always have Bear Bells mixed in the Grizzly Scat. The Black Bear Scat will not have any Bear Bells at all. ( I hope this advice will make taking hikes much easier ).
Hello Ambassadors Again, the video was great. Nature is my thing! And I am getting everything I like to see in your videos. Great job. Thank you! People watches your videos because who you are. So, natural videos, like you are guys! Chris, I am so glad you liked the shower 🤣🤣🤣You should call your Teddy bear " the good son of grizzly" 😂😂😂 Love from Florida.💕💕
Yep I think you’re ready for Baloo the Bear and mosquito birds haha. I think you should call your teddy bear Baloo because it’s cute like the bear in Jungle Book. Beautiful scenery and great video - stay safe xx
Nice to hear that someone else is getting some Rainshine besides us here Ireland. Just did a very foggy tour with an American group of the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher today. Sadly they saw nothing. The job of a bus driver. 😂🤣
Glad Chris is feeling better. I would suggest though that noodles would not be good on the stomach. flour is very hard to digest as you get older. Being someone who has suffered stomach problem my whole like, rice is a better alternative.
The highway looks well kept, good route choice to the Arctic Circle. I only knew of the Dawson., a much rougher route. Beautiful scenery and descriptions of your adventures. Be well and travel safely.
Amazing I'm just loving your journey, its been a dream I've mine to do exactly what your doing , alaska looks an amazing place , It makes England look so tiny , stay safe much love ❤
Hey! They're not evil spirits. They're Mother Nature's protection squad! #frackno #saynotofracking But fr fr, fracking is terrible for groundwater 😥 Enjoy your adventures in the frozen north! 😎👍
I have been to Alaska four times but each time was on a cruise vacation and saw Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway/Haines. I would love to go on the road there but we did go on the train and bus to Denali National Park.
Glad to hear that Chris is feeling better. Beautiful camp site! How about a magnetic screen for Trudy's entrance for when you leave it open, so that the uninvited flying visitors (insects) don't welcome themselves in🤷🏻♀️ Anyway, you guys stay safe. Love, love❤
Great idea! We have thought about it - we have been in Trudy for over 4 years and not needed them until now ... but we will check that out for sure - M xx
Love the wilderness but I don’t think I would like those bugs !!!! I think the bears are going to love the two of you and Trudy ❤️ I think a cool name for the new teddy bear would be Broxi Bear 🐻 🫶
Meet two social workers from Canada who then came over here and worked for Lambeth Council they told me of the females who dissaper on the road of tears,once gone your never found. Stacy Dooley did a documentary on it called Canada's Lost Girls.
Beautiful scenery! A lot of aboriginal woman have gone missing on the Highway of Tears since the early 1980's. Very sad for the families of these women not knowing what happened to them.
did you not explore the old buildings and totem poles in Kitwanga? I was hoping you'd show them rather than the campground. We stopped there for lunch only but took in the native culture. Saw our 2nd black bear a few miles up the road from there
No just the campsite - there is so much to show on this road ... but we hope that there is a video somewhere on youtube ... happy travels and may the road be a kind a pleasant place for you always - Marianne 💐🙌
@@TREADtheglobe we travelled that route in July 2007, so reliving our adventure with you! It truly is epic, so much to see and do. Keep on trucking! Greetings from Sligo, Ireland (I see you had a good time here at the Sea Shanty festival!) Claudia
No offense, but people in Alaska who live in the bush carry big caliber guns to defend against bears, wolves and other predators. Not sure bear spray will offer you much protection. Escape is probably your best option in one of those encounters.

Thanks 🚐🙌🌷
Those clouds are jigsaw puzzle sky-worthy😊 3:35
I'd call the new teddy "Smothers"because that is where u introduced him to us all..Loving the trip..Stay safe
☘️☘️☘️Mary and Tom
That camping park looks beautiful! Love that they haven't cut all the trees down as many do.
If you meet a bear just distract it by feeding it the couple who believes fracking realises evil spirits!
Ive just left something in the oven ....in Shropshire!
Great vlog,
Wishing you both well!
Ha!Ha! Fracking releases evil spirits... sounds like the effect of altitude sickness, don't you think! Which could possibly be scarier than grizzly bears!😎
LOL - that made me laugh out loud !! Thanks for the bear tip - great idea !! Marianne 🌺
2:27 I suppose that it depends on one's definition of 'evil spirits' ! If they include mini earth quakes then yes. But I doubt they meant that 😅

It’s kind of a shame you’re on this big trans earth trip, y’all could easily spend a lot more time in Canada and the US. Thanks for the video!
You guys might need a bit of netting for that big slide door. That way you don't have to worry about bugs flying in when you leave it open.
The axe is for the wood and the creepy man in the woods lol

LOL - you might be right !!

Great vlog guys! and OMG Marianne looked like she could star in a horror film with that mosquito net on... Take care and be safe! Don't feed the bears!
You are in ALASKA!!! You must be very proud of yourself
Woo Hoo - thank you Martina - we are processing it now ... who knew that we could make it and survive !! Trudy is ready for a spa day LOL 🚐💜
With that bear-spray I bet you could create a really fashionable bear-do fit for the Buckingham Palace!
LOL - I loved that Paddington bear / HRH sketch ... just priceless !! Marianne 🌺

Thoroughly enjoying watching your adventure, thank you for sharing.

Again, the video was great.
Nature is my thing! And I am getting everything I like to see in your videos. Great job. Thank you!

Oh no .... but imagination is a fabulous thing - safe travels friend 😂🙏💚
Don't be shame about Trudy, she is now adults !! 🤣
Brilliant Video as usual. Wonderful camp park.So exciting watching you both can't wait for the next one. Stay Safe both x
Beautiful video, British Columbia is a must-see place indeed! Take care & stay safe.
Lovely vlog. Glad Chris is feeling better! I watched a documentary about the women who have gone missing on the Highway of Tears. It’s very sad.
Chris&marianne keep going your doing great 👍
Thanks so much
Takipteyiz sizleri seviyoruz
Thank you so much Metin
Yes from Kitwanga north, there is nothing but wilderness. Hope you stopped in Hyder and got Hyderized.
I hope they did! I loved Hyder
Glad Chris is feeling better. I would suggest though that noodles would not be good on the stomach. flour is very hard to digest as you get older. Being someone who has suffered stomach problem my whole like, rice is a better alternative.
Fantastic video the camp site is amazing it feels like you both have a new spring in your step exciting for every step of your journey thank you guys
The highway looks well kept, good route choice to the Arctic Circle. I only knew of the Dawson., a much rougher route. Beautiful scenery and descriptions of your adventures. Be well and travel safely.
the Cassiar Highway is unpaved for some stretches. It's only starting....lol
So beatiful!
Such a stunning place to be. We're loving this section of your trip. So pleased you are better Chris. Stay safe!
Thanks so much!
I like Smithers for teddy too 🧸 🐻 💗
Hi you 2 lovely video xx
Take time to check out Canada 🇨🇦
stay safe happy travels ❤️🙋♀️
Looks like your second night was much nicer.
I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing your adventures 🙌🏻 stay safe 🍀
Amazing I'm just loving your journey, its been a dream I've mine to do exactly what your doing , alaska looks an amazing place , It makes England look so tiny , stay safe much love ❤
Thanks so much! Yep the distances are something else !! Trudy is doing great though 🚐💐
Great video!!!
Hey! They're not evil spirits. They're Mother Nature's protection squad! #frackno #saynotofracking
But fr fr, fracking is terrible for groundwater 😥
Enjoy your adventures in the frozen north! 😎👍
The bear's name should be Tready, what else?
Reminds me of Teddy Ruxpin from years ago!
LOL - I have not seen that one - I will take a look - Marianne 🌺👍
The ironic part about the mosquito hat is that they don't often bite you head or face at least from my experience.
I have been to Alaska four times but each time was on a cruise vacation and saw Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway/Haines. I would love to go on the road there but we did go on the train and bus to Denali National Park.
Call Teddy Mr. Smithers 🤩

Great idea! We have thought about it - we have been in Trudy for over 4 years and not needed them until now ... but we will check that out for sure - M xx
The bear has to be Yukon!
I would think there wouldn’t be mosquitoes in Alaska , being how cold it is !!!!Scary !
not unusual to have temps in the 30s (Celsius) in Alaska/Yukon, a lot of swampy land, as soon as it thaws, the mosquitos are out
@@CLFL14256 Yeah makes sense! Yuk!
Wow amazing mountains. Good to see Chris is feeling better. Keep the hat Marianne you may need it in OZ.😍😊
Love the wilderness but I don’t think I would like those bugs !!!! I think the bears are going to love the two of you and Trudy ❤️ I think a cool name for the new teddy bear would be Broxi Bear 🐻 🫶
Ha Ha !! Yep I am not a bug person either ... Trudy loved the bears as much as they loved her 💜🚐💐
You two are hilarious! Thank you for making me laugh. 🙏 Love your videos ❤️
You should call ya bear, Grizzly ❤
Name the bear "Buddy".
Another wonderful video. Love your van decor. 👍❤️ Please be careful in bear country. 🐻🐻
👍👍👍👍👍👍for Walmart........a shame that Asda, Tesco etc., don't do the same here in the UK
You need to call your bear Smithers!

Stacy Dooley did a documentary on it called Canada's Lost Girls.
Oh I will check that out !! We have done lots of roads ... but this one actually felt ... odd ?! Thanks for the info - Marianne 🌺
Enjoy the journey, look out for Alaskan youtuber Timmy from Truck House Life.
eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you
Screens. They make them for your doors and windows.
My suggestion for the bear Kanada, 🐻 or Kanuck
Beautiful scenery! A lot of aboriginal woman have gone missing on the Highway of Tears since the early 1980's. Very sad for the families of these women not knowing what happened to them.
You're teddy should be called Alaska
Isn't there a mosquito net for the van door?
Hi - no, we haven't really needed one until now and we will be out of the mosquito season / area soon enough 🌺

Teddy bear can be called "Smithers"

Pah, I've seen bigger MOSSIES, Bears, Wolves and nasty folk on the The WREKIN. 😜

Does Alaska/Yukon/North Canada remind you of anywhere else you’ve been on your travels?
It is soooo big and soooo vast - and just fabulous !
Fracking is like shitting in your livingroom. No need for ghosts anything else.
