    I've made several trips to Alaska just for the brown bear photography. It will become addicting as the bear are bigger and of course the country is definitely more isolated. It was rare that we ever encountered people, you'll love it I'm sure, assuming its your first trip.

    That bear encounter is awesome. Almost every other clips is like 12 people stopped by the road with long lenses and it just makes the park look so touristy and full of NPCs. Your gut instinct and knowledge was rewarded with a genuine interraction.

    • @BeefNEggs057
      @BeefNEggs057 2 года назад

      What about people wanting to see things they’ve never seen makes them NPCs? I think it makes them human and curious. At least it isn’t a wreck they’re rubber necking at for once. Now that’s NPC behavior 100%.
      I’m sure the locals get hardened to the beauty of the wildlife but that is truly what an NPC is in my book. A person surrounded by beauty and so crusty they can’t even see it.
