  • My husband leaves me, so I'm back on my own, living in my car, driving from Bigfork via Swan Lake through Missoula, Montana, looking for a free BLM campsite, where I end up camping alone in grizzly bear country.

    Hey girl: Binge watching and catching up!!! Commenting on each video to help your algorithm!!! Swan Lake beyond beautiful!!! Suggest you put on proper footwear when you leave vehicle or camp; voice of experience, all bad!!! Also suggest you get and carry bear spray when you leave camp for all bears … both four and two legged. You can enhance your hammock with two things … a mosquito net and a ridge line tarp cover. Keeps you insect free and dry. The tarp can be retracted to your feet to improve the view when not raining and the pulled over and secured when it rains. I LIKE your table and mat next to your hammock; the candle was a nice touch. The grocery store where you bought the beer had their priorities right (one whole wall plus a walk in cooler dedicated to beer ;o)!!!). Anyways, excellent video!!! Take care, be safe, best wishes and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨‍🌾✝️🙏☃️🐩

    Do you carry a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB)? My husband bought me one for Christmas and I feel much safer carrying one on my walks (in venomous Australia). You’re probably home and back to “normal life” by now. Enjoy Christmas and New Year.

    • @alexaelliott2598
      @alexaelliott2598 Год назад

      @@dianeschmiane a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) doesn’t require a subscription. It uses satellite technology worldwide to pin your location once you activate it. Unlike a subscription service you cannot send messages to people etc. It’s purely a locator beacon that sends an SOS message. They are more useful for emergencies than subscription services as they work worldwide as long as there is sky above you. Worth considering as the advantage is you aren’t dependent on there being service in the area you’re in and there is no subscription. Hope this helps. If you’re considering desert adventures this will be more useful than a sub-service.

    If she was familiar with bears she should know never go walking by yourself, take bear spray and or go armed. Keeping food in your car is a big no no. Wear hiking boots not flip flops, they call it Rattlesnake park for a reason. There is such a thing as common sense, she cooked at the back of her car another no no, she said she cleaned everything up really good, I wonder if she carried a bear proof container in her car for trash. I hope she had a good and safe trip, if she did it was just by mere luck. The price of her cavalier attitude(I know bears) could be her life then of course the bears life.
