    You know what really surprised me in all the wonderful videos you post, Stan? (no need to comment here, Stan) Is the number of cut trees along the trail that I have seen. I had no idea and I guess that the path has to be cleared but for some reason I thought that the hikes would be more in a "wilderness" setting. Not that this isn't "backcountry" but it just surprises me to see these signs of man. Reguardless, your videos are GREAT! Thank you for taking us along and many more years of following you on your hikes!

    • @StanMills
      @StanMills  2 года назад +1

      You are totally right on what you are saying. Signs of man are everywhere. Yellowstone is more like a giant drive in or walk in zoo. People that are put in charge of Yellowstone no longer know what it means to preserve Yellowstone and keep it natural. It is all about accommodating more and more people; faster and better highways, more wifi and telephone towers, bigger parking lots... Fortunately I don't show power lines and power boxes in my videos. If you ever get the chance to go to Old Faithful, it will be like a city there. Highway overpasses, hotels and lodging everywhere, shopping, gas stations..it is crazy!

    • @Backcountryhiker
      @Backcountryhiker 2 года назад

      ​@@StanMills Yes, I did get to Old Faithful and it is quite commercialized. I think there is a balance in the lower 48 in that because of the high population, the park system doesn't have much option but to open things to "tourists" more and more. If they closed off or kept "conveniences" at a minimum, the population/supporters may start to feel differently about preserving what is left in the national parks in the lower 48. Educating the public is key here so they don't destroy what they love. Thank you for your comment and thank you for taking us on your hikes!

    Stan, you always create such fantastic video content. I always enjoy and learn from your hikes.
    I, wish I could hike with you in 2021.
    Also please do a gear review of you sub zero clothing and shoes. I enjoy hiking so much, but don't do much in the snow, so I'm looking to lear. From your experience. Also, other than your general knowledge of the trails in Yellowstone, how do you navigate in the snow when the trail is covered.
    Thanks 😊

    • @StanMills
      @StanMills  3 года назад

      John, I hope to do some winter camping videos this year. I really don't do many winter videos because they are kind of boring but it seems they are not necessarily boring to everyone so maybe I will make more videos. I have always concentrated mainly on grizzly bears but I can see that a lot of people are interested in seeing Yellowstone in general and also interested in the same things you are asking. As far as navigating without seeing the trail, well I try to do 100% winter snowshoeing off of a trail so not seeing a trail is no issue. You may notice I never use metal trail snowshoes. I only use the long Alaskan traditional snowshoes that allow me to go off trail. Thank you for your questions and comments.

  • @UtahTenkara
    @UtahTenkara 3 года назад

    I have a question I think you would know better than anyone else. What date do you think the grizzly bears enter their dens??? Or another way to ask it is, when do you notice that you do not see anymore grizzly bears???

    • @StanMills
      @StanMills  3 года назад +4

      That is a good question. Hibernation times have everything to do with food supply and not weather or temperatures. For example, the grizzly bears at the Wolf and Grizzly Center at West Yellowstone never hibernate because they always have a food supply. Now with the frozen ground and beginning of snow pack there is not much of a food supply for the wild grizzlies so they simply hibernate until spring. So what about the grizzly (tracks) in this video you may ask? This was a male grizzly heading over to the Taylor Fork about 2 miles away where it was the last day of hunting season. He was a male with years of experience and he knows his odds are good for getting a good gut-pile meal or an actual elk carcass that was shot by a hunter. Thank you for your questions and comments.
