    Would you rather be chased by a swimming bear in a kayak or a running bear on skis?

    • @philippjordi9733
      @philippjordi9733 3 года назад

      Depends on how steep the slope is :) … but I guess with a kayak, one is faster in deep waters than the bear.

    Blueberries nor raspberries try to swim or wiggle away when you try to eat them. Animals are smarter than people often give them credit for. Desert island and only one food to take: blueberries. As much as I love the topography, I can't help but look up at the big, beautiful, blue sky. On the beach, in the mountains, or sitting on my back porch, on a sunny day it's just...right...there. Sometimes, it's all I need. Wish I was on this adventure with you, Alice. I'll get there someday.

    Ok, so much to say.
    Firstly, I just got back from Alaska. I learned the bears are where the salmon are running. Obvious, right. If the water is visibly full of salmon there will be bears EVERYWHERE!
    I went to Grosvenor Lodge during the salmon run and saw an uncountable amount of bears. They were everywhere.
    I also went to Brooks Falls to watch that spectacular view.
    Anyway, Grosvenor Lodge in July won’t disappoint for bears. Plus the fishing is world class.

    That was an amazing Alaskan adventure, Alice. You must go back there soon. I laughed when you mentioned that bears prefer berries to fish. We have had no bears in Ireland for about 8,000 years. A few weeks ago I was foraging for blackberries on the lower slopes of Divis Mountain near Belfast. Engrossed in the task of collecting the berries I didn't notice a brown hairy pig coming down the field to say hello. I fed him some of my berries which pleased him so much. I have made a friend there!

    Hi Alice, What a video! the views were outstanding and the lodge looks very comforting indeed. I would say it has a very typical architecture and design-build for the surroundings. Glad you got to explore up there. How much did it cost to stay overnight at the Redoubt Bay Lodge? and how much was the flight to get there? Sorry, you couldn't get to see the bear, I know the feeling. I still think everything else you got to see outweighs the fact that you didn't get to see the bear haha. Lastly, glad to see some of your merchandise out! Thanks.

      On a separate note, I was watching some weather news and they were saying that there is a wildfire engulfing portions of Sequoia National Park, in California and has burned over 50 000 acres nearly over this past week and that firefighters have been working really hard to counteract the blaze. I was wondering if the smoke has reached the Los Angeles area? I know is about 226 miles away. So I figured with some winds the smoke could reach there in some time. Please keep me posted if you know anything about it. Feeling concerned about the situation. Thanks!

    • @AliceFordAdventures

    Magical!!! Thanks for sharing. Just a quick question. I know you are quite passionate about wildlife conservation and environmentalism. I notice you eat meat and talk about fishing. Are you or have you considered going vegan and why or why not? Thanks again for your time and thoughts.

    • @AliceFordAdventures
      @AliceFordAdventures  3 года назад

      Thank you, I actually do not eat meat and try to limit seafood but when I do eat it make sure it’s from a sustainable source. I eat an 80% plant based diet though and always make sure I know where my food comes from before I eat it.

    • @BriJo91
      @BriJo91 3 года назад

      @@AliceFordAdventures Thank you for the transparency. Have you seen sea-spiracy? It seems that the whole sustainable label is oftentimes very misleading and your best option is to just avoid animal products all together. I have been vegan for 10 years but I actually agree with you that sometimes you just have to do what's the easiest and most beneficial to your well-being. I think as long as we are all trying our best and not being dishonest with ourselves, then that's all that matters. I don't believe there's any excuse for people to not be informed if they have access to the internet these days. There are so many good documentaries on Netflix and great blogs and sanctuaries to follow on RUclips. Obviously being vegan and living ethically is about a lot more than just food and I don't think people always understand that.
      I really see you as an inspiration and I appreciate everything you are doing to try and make the world a better place but also giving people Earth friendly options to enjoy their time on this planet.
