A BEAR GOT INTO OUR VACATION CABIN IN ‘07 IN LAKE TAHOE😮! It was CRAZY! I left a kitchen window cracked & this bear literally tore the screen off then slid the window open & climbed on in! I was upstairs giving my 4 year old son a bath & heard a lot of noise downstairs. I thought it was a burglar so I called 911. The dispatcher asked how I could be certain it was a burglar. She advised me to just stay upstairs in the bathroom & since she knew I was from out of town, she stayed on the phone w/me while she radioed the sheriff (who happened to be just a few miles from me!). I heard them talking fast back & forth & she got back to me & said “Lock the bathroom door. It’s a bear!” I was shocked & tried to stay calm for my son’s sake. The sheriff watched the bear climb out of the window & sit on the front porch with a box of my son’s cereal lol! He tried to scare it off by shooting rubber pellets but it would not leave! After 10 minutes or so it started to slowly walk away. I’ll remember that as long as I live😂
My wife and I are amateur radio operators, so we monitor area amateur radio operators that support local emergency management and public safety. I'm also a retired emergency manager, police officer and EMT out of Oklahoma. Disaster planning and preparedness is very familiar to me. Also is our preparedness cache is a digital trunked police fire and EMS scanner where we can tune in to most public safety radio transmission.
I had to laugh out loud when you asked 'Do you have a cat?'. I picked up two Maincoon kittens a while back, had no carrier for them and put them into pillow cases for the short ride home. Of course they both got out and scurried all over the inside of my VW bug. At one point I actually had to pull off the road, because one was under my gas peddle. Great memories. Good lessons learned. Those brown bears were a real treat! Thank you for sharing.
My wife and I lived in Alaska and visited all these places...when we were your age.....love going back and seeing 'us' experienceing Alaska for the first time. through your eyes
Same pull over law in WA. Also, we used to call our dog’s crate at home “jail.” It was hilarious. We would tell her “Go to jail.” And she’d happily go running in.
We took the train from Fairbanks to Anchorage and saw bears, moose, etc plus a nudist camp. We have a cat stroller we use to take them with us when possible even walmart
More fun in Alaska!! Here are some cute alternative names for some critters you will see. Moose= swamp donkeys, grizzly or kodiak bears = timber pigs, deer = ridge runners, black bear= (bee) hive maulers, skunks = fart kittens/ cats, squirrels = fancy rats, racoons = trash pandas, coyote = scrounge hound. In case you didn't know.
We just say go in and our chihuahua just goes in. We call it a kennel if we talk to each other. We add a blanket over it and Lucy feels completely safe.
This a remarkable episode,thank you so much. I am a huge fan of your videos, especially these Alaska ones. Now I don’t have to go . I think it’s called living vicariously through your adventures, good and bad. I tell you, when you are 70, like me ,you will be so glad you lived it,and recorded it. And can relive it all again! You all are just too cute and engaging,love you!
I got off shift at Prudhoe bay at 11:00 pm and we were like, we don’t believe there are any bears here. We went out walking at the garbage dump. We were about 300 yards from the truck and looked down and saw a paw print the size of a dinner plate. It was a polar bear print. We RAN back to the truck and never did see the actual bear.
Another great Hanks video! Yep, this one night I was at work in the New Orleans area and we were talking about My vacation the following week. My boss and I were listening to a weather report that the weather was going to turn sour for the first couple days of my vacation (staycation really, we weren't going anywhere), but it wouldn't be too awfully bad. Two days into my much needed vacation this thing called Hurricane Katrina came along and whooped our pee-too-tees. What I'm getting at is we NOW take weather warnings very seriously. I'll be getting home from work next week and I'm planning on replacing the China bomb tires on our rv with something less explosive......blah, blah, blah. I babble. Stay safe Hanks! Seeeeya!
Yo Hanks! Love your videos! Please be careful with the warning signal you are getting from your truck regarding your trailer brakes. It's rarely addressed correctly by just adding de-electric grease. We had the same issue with our Grand Design Reflection. That message "ding ding ding" from the truck drove us nuts! RV dealer couldn't find anything and ditto with the Chevy dealer. Everybody, and I mean every good intentioned fellow RVer, told us it was in the 7-way pin connection. We replaced the connector, but it still kept on dinging! Last year, we finally found a mobile tech in Yellowstone that exposed the problem. Turns out the insulation on the wires running to the brakes were worn down to bare wire in spots from the constant rubbing inside the axle tubes. We would get the message, "check trailer brakes", followed immediately by "trailer connected". The message would be intermittent, but when it would start, it would last for what seemed to be an eternity, then just stop. Since you are running a Solitude, you could have this very problem. Note: when the mobile tech replaced the wires, he ran them on the outside of the axle tubes, and zip tied them in place. Easy peasy! Hope this helps.
We were in Alaska this summer, Even camped next to you guys in Valdez. Used Star Link almost every day for work. It worked great. The more remote the area the better it worked.
I’ve been fascinated by your faces when it’s “go time”. The accident emergency and the weather scare show you two “on point”. I’m believing you’re top shelf ER nurses. Your utube channel is growing so fast I’m wondering how much longer you’ll be nurses. It will be a loss to the medical world but your success in everything you’re doing is great to be a small part of and see.
We travel full time in our rv and I have spent this summer working o organizing my supplies. It was so frustrating when we would be stationary and I couldn't find the product I wanted to use. My love of organizing has been a blessing this summer.
We started watching your videos when we looked for camping with a cat. We actually bought a Grand Design travel trailer Imagine xls 22be bc of being able to put the litter box in the bathroom. 😆😆 we love GD! We enjoy your adventures. Make plenty of memories while you are young!!! And from us , who are married 45 yrs.... laughter is the key to a long and happy marriage. 🤗
You should secure Dexter’s kennel. It is safer for him if for some unfortunate reason there is an accident. Other than that I totally agree and understand how you travel with him.
Absolutely! Our cat's soft carrier has a strap and we put the seat belt through it to secure it. And, we found our dog a strap that connects his harness and the seat belt. So, if we have to brake suddenly, our babies don't go flying forward.
Great video. Dream trip of ours some day. I had the same issue with my Chevy HD with the trailer brake system. After trying the dielectric grease, replacing the brake controller module on the dash and then looking into replacing the module under the bed of the truck. I ended up rewiring the brake system wires on both axles under the camper. I ended up finding a wire that runs inside the axle had frayed right where it comes out of the axle before connecting to the brake drum on the trailer. Which in turn led to occasional alerts on my dash board over and over and over again. After rewiring all of this, problem solved.
Hey Hanks', I really enjoy your videos and am really interested in your Alaska adventures! Regarding the trailer warning light/buzzer you're getting, I hope the dielectric grease on your trailer connector continues to work for you. If it doesn't, check the ground connection where your truck to trailer pigtail connects to the trailer (probably in an electrical box tucked up under the hitch box area). I had fits with this same warning after a trailer dealer put a new pigtail on my 5th wheel, during a long trip, of course. I finally checked this connection, tightened it up, and never had a trailer warning again with that trailer. It seems like a rule that if you have a weird, intermittent electrical problem, it's a bad ground connection somewhere. Hope this helps! Y'all have fun out there and stay safe!
More than likely loose pin connectors and/or corrosion build up if you didn't have grease in there before. Great suggestion on the ground wire though. Could be it.
You did the right thing. It is better to safe than sorry. I used to own a sailboat on Pamlico Sound in North Carolina, and you would not be believe how people took their sailboat out with small craft warning.
Really enjoyed this video, the music you had with the video was perfect and your wish to see a Bear was even better than you could have wished for seeing that momma Bear 🐻 and her three Cub's ♥️👣🐻 the scenery was beautiful too. One place I wonder if on your itinerary is Soldatna.?
Great video guys!!! When I was working out of Dutch Harbor several years ago, we had a tsunami warning that required ALL vessels to depart to prevent damage. All residents that weren’t on high ground had to go up in elevation. Sooooer coool on the seeing the bears!!! I just want 2 know, did the bears 💩 in the woods🤔🤔🤔 👍😃🍻
Lovin' this trip...I will mention that holding up 5 vehicles behind you is a violation in some of the Pacific NW states, too...and not all that much enforced...
THANKS, Hanks for sharing the bear family with us! Made my day. Wondering about a furry friend traveling companion for my solo travels... maybe a ferret. We'd had one before and it worked out very well, so easy to care for. Any trashed towel or old pair of jeans makes a great nest, easy to train to a litter box and thrives on dry cat food. But I'd rather have a person, especially to keep me awake while driving and be a copilot driver as well.
Greetings from Nazareth PA. Ive only been a subscriber for a short time. My wife and I just started looking into buying our first RV. I came across your channel and we just love the chemistry, LOVE, content and production quality of your channel. Top notch! Thanks Hanks!
That was just awesome!! Loved seeing the bears and salmon jumping upriver!! Can’t wait for the next video!! Keep them coming!! We love it! Happy Camping and Safe Travels!❤️❤️❤️
Just loved this episode! I’d like to just be planted it this beautiful area. I would be terrified taking the RV but am sure it feels better being with friends.. safe travels ❤
The guy mowing the lawn with the tornado in the background is actually from Three Hills Alberta Canada. He didn’t know it was coming until his wife took the picture and told him to get to the basement. In Alberta we are part of tornado alley. We get a good tornado at least once a year.
I’m with you on kitty carriers. Safety first. The last place you want a cat to go is near your feet when driving. My boys settle down fairly quickly after the start of a trip. Then the new kitty meows and gets my other cat going too for a bit.
We were in Cheney WA. and got a knock on the door. (FIRES) Evacuation, level 3... Go Now. WOW, it took a minute to sink in but husband like no time to panic. ... Go.
Hey Renee, that picture of a guy mowing with a tornado in the background was here in Alberta, Canada. It was in Three Hills. I moved here ten years ago from San Diego, California and that about sums up how serious people take their lawns here. It always make me laugh!! We get 3-5 months of lawn here, so when we have it, we baby it!!
The fish and the bears were awesome great video you guys are great I can’t believe my big trip is coming up in about two weeks the end of September going into October for two weeks going to Tennessee.
Nee-Nee - Look at it this way you got some warning of an impending event. Even if it turned out to be more or less a false alarm. Most weather-related events give you some warning. You need to be in earthquake country and get a 5.0+ without any warning. The good part is you know you are alive afterwards.
It’s better to be safe than sorry…you can always return (like you did) if or when it’s ok to. I’ve traveled with freedom cats in the car and would use a cardboard box if I didn’t have a carrier! We got two cardboard carriers from the vet once & still have them…anyone want a cardboard cat carrier?😄
we all have to do what we think is right for each of us. What others think doesn't matter. Like I think people that like to go to the beach or to New York City are crazy. but then in turn they think I am crazy for getting on my Motorcycle and riding from PA to WY to spend a week 10day out there riding and enjoying the crazyness of Sturgis. :D jut keep doing what feels right to you guys :D stay safe
I never just “keep an eye “ on severe weather warnings. I prefer to error on the side of caution. Loved this video and Seward , Alaska ,beautiful place.
Hello you two, boy are we with you on so much of this episode. Traveling for first time with Henry , our Tabby main on mix cat , we’re experiencing the meow. Last year we were camping at the beach in Ian hurricane and the local campground told us “It’s not going to be that bad” but we could move up to the cabins ( well it flooded the whole beach area and knocked out the bridge ) 😂 covered the roads with the beach sand ... say it ain’t so! Part of the life !
I grew up in Alaska....." You can leave Alaska, but Alaska never leaves you"! I'm now in Michigan. THANK YOU for showing me home!! Glad you got to see bears. Just don't run out of gramas cookies.
Russian River is where I saw my first bear when we were fishing. We stayed at Stoney Creek Park in Seward before. So glad yall got to see some bears from a distance. We just got back from Alaska this week.
For your trailer connection that keeps dinging, Dielectric gel is to stop corrosion BUT is non-conductive insulator,, use MG Chemicals - 8481-1 Premium Carbon Conductive Grease
Hi guys. We had the same problem on our 2018 GMC truck…and they simply changed the 7 pins connector, under warranty… just ask, maybe they will do the same? Great luck you had with the bears! Those salmons are really motivated hey! Good luck on the way back. We can confirm: the road back on the Alcan is amazing…all new pavement to Fort Nelson, then some rough patches but smooth sailing for the most part! They have been busy! Good luck & safe travels! The 2 Frenchmen from Whitehorse!
Cool listening to these Alaskan town names because my folks left Indiana and pulled their camper up to Alaska and to the Article circle and back. They were gone 2 months. Had a blast boon-docking some nights along the road. Feel like I’m on their trip with them during your trip.
In northern New England snow storms come and go. Just stay home or inside until the roads are cleared and has stopped snowing and blowing around. We listing to the local weather man. Shows year around on top of Mount Washington. Make sure you bring your jacket year round.
“We’re keeping our eye on it” are the famous last words before you hear “oh crap!”
The tornado behind the guy cutting grass is from Three Hills Alberta , Canada , north of Drumheller Alberta .
Came here to say that! Howdy from Hanna, AB - about 40 minutes east of Three Hills 😂
Ditto 'lawnmower man' is from Alberta 😂
About that. Not many slow drivers will pull over to let people pass. It's not really enforce. Thank you for pulling over. I know it was appreciated

Oh my gosh!!! 😭
When we lived in Louisiana it was Hurricanes and Tornadoes, moved to WA it was Tsunamis and wildfires, now in New Mexico it’s ONLY wildfires lol. 😅
Dielectric grease is for anti corrosion- but it also inhibits conduction 😮
The dude mowing his lawn was in Alberta. Glad you are all safe.
Such a cool couple….really enjoy your videos because you are so real!!!….plus as a Chevy person I love duramax!!!
My wife and I do not call our dog’s kennel a cage either. When we have to put Liberty in the kennel, we tell her to go to her house.
Hole😂
We call Buckwheat’s kennel a cage. He LOVES his cage.
Condo
Our pets are children. We never want him not to be safe. We want him to always be happy.
😅
My cat was very concerned for Dexter and his dinner 😂
My wife and I are amateur radio operators, so we monitor area amateur radio operators that support local emergency management and public safety.

That was incredible! Salmon AND bears!!
Please spray the trailer connections with Deoxit spray ( brand name ) and then the dielectric grease. Have fun!
Thank you guys for all the great info😂😂😂😂
NO...be safe...don't be sorry and you don't need to apologize for taking care of your family. We love you!❤🙏Stay safe! Your friend in SC, Jane🥰

Moose , seabird ,salmon , Grizzly Momma & Cubs ! Worth the hike
What a beautiful moose! Dexter sure is a pretty boy! What beautiful bears!!
We took the train from Fairbanks to Anchorage and saw bears, moose, etc plus a nudist camp. We have a cat stroller we use to take them with us when possible even walmart
yes, wilderness footage..........we need more!!!!!!!!!!
More fun in Alaska!! Here are some cute alternative names for some critters you will see.

Russian River area is in Cooper Landing, not Seward

Awesome BEARS and SAMON jumping, going upstream. Tthanks for sharing. Beautiful!
Omigosh I literally teared up when Carl's dream came true to see the bears catching salmon ❤
In Alaska, any park with FHUs is a resort! 😅
I got off shift at Prudhoe bay at 11:00 pm and we were like, we don’t believe there are any bears here. We went out walking at the garbage dump.

Hello Hanks. Ready freddy.... glad your safe. Better that than sorry you ignored it. ❤
I’ve been fascinated by your faces when it’s “go time”. The accident emergency and the weather scare show you two “on point”. I’m believing you’re top shelf ER nurses. Your utube channel is growing so fast I’m wondering how much longer you’ll be nurses. It will be a loss to the medical world but your success in everything you’re doing is great to be a small part of and see.
FYI:
Movies are on DVDs
Music are on CDs
Loved the video!
A Siamese cat on the loose in a vehicle?? PANDALERIUM will ensue!!! Speaking as a Siamese cat parent 😂😂😂
Bears!!! 🐻 🧸🧸🧸
I used home dir for internet and loved it everywhere I went, not in Alaska. I was all over the East Coast and it never failed me.
We stayed at Stoney Creek in mid August and it’s a great place to stay…we stayed there in 2015 as well. You will love Sewart.
We travel full time in our rv and I have spent this summer working o organizing my supplies. It was so frustrating when we would be stationary and I couldn't find the product I wanted to use. My love of organizing has been a blessing this summer.
I’ve hiked that. Memories
Safety first! Always put Dexter in his cage, good for you!
He is precious and must be protected. ❤
We started watching your videos when we looked for camping with a cat. We actually bought a Grand Design travel trailer Imagine xls 22be bc of being able to put the litter box in the bathroom. 😆😆 we love GD!
We enjoy your adventures. Make plenty of memories while you are young!!!
And from us , who are married 45 yrs.... laughter is the key to a long and happy marriage. 🤗
😂 I have a phantom of the opera that looks like yours!!
Christine! My favorite!
Beautiful hike. Thank you for sharing.

Tornado shot was Alberta, Canada. We Canadians love all things weather. 😅
You did the right thing. It is better to safe than sorry. I used to own a sailboat on Pamlico Sound in North Carolina, and you would not be believe how people took their sailboat out with small craft warning.
Wow! You kids are awesome! So Beautiful! Great shots and Great Job. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. ✌️😁
Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this video, the music you had with the video was perfect and your wish to see a Bear was even better than you could have wished for seeing that momma Bear 🐻 and her three Cub's ♥️👣🐻 the scenery was beautiful too. One place I wonder if on your itinerary is Soldatna.?
Great video guys!!!
When I was working out of Dutch Harbor several years ago, we had a tsunami warning that required ALL vessels to depart to prevent damage. All residents that weren’t on high ground had to go up in elevation.
Sooooer coool on the seeing the bears!!! I just want 2 know, did the bears 💩 in the woods🤔🤔🤔
👍😃🍻
Lovin' this trip...I will mention that holding up 5 vehicles behind you is a violation in some of the Pacific NW states, too...and not all that much enforced...
Loved watching the fish jump and the bears play.. beautiful scenery.
Glad you enjoyed it
THANKS, Hanks for sharing the bear family with us! Made my day. Wondering about a furry friend traveling companion for my solo travels... maybe a ferret. We'd had one before and it worked out very well, so easy to care for. Any trashed towel or old pair of jeans makes a great nest, easy to train to a litter box and thrives on dry cat food. But I'd rather have a person, especially to keep me awake while driving and be a copilot driver as well.
Greetings from Nazareth PA. Ive only been a subscriber for a short time. My wife and I just started looking into buying our first RV. I came across your channel and we just love the chemistry, LOVE, content and production quality of your channel.
Top notch! Thanks Hanks!
Beautiful footage!
Glad you guys are safe! Take care!
Thanks for the video, we did an Alaskan cruise back in June. You have convinced me in retirement it’s a must do trip!
Thanks for taking us with you. I'm glad you try to be safe. It's been a great trip.
Great video. Thanks! Love the bears!
Ohh and its his space. My Jack ( terrior ) loves his bed its his ....
That was just awesome!! Loved seeing the bears and salmon jumping upriver!! Can’t wait for the next video!! Keep them coming!! We love it! Happy Camping and Safe Travels!❤️❤️❤️
Nice footage and great music today. #ThanksHanks
Excellent video! LOVED the scenery.
Just loved this episode! I’d like to just be planted it this beautiful area. I would be terrified taking the RV but am sure it feels better being with friends.. safe travels ❤
No - new cars don’t come with CD players and when I asked if I could get one added, they literally laughed at me. I was so disappointed.
Love the let Dexter roam free in the truck comment. Yeah it's hard to drive with the cat on your face, up on the dash, stuck to the ceiling...
The guy mowing the lawn with the tornado in the background is actually from Three Hills Alberta Canada. He didn’t know it was coming until his wife took the picture and told him to get to the basement. In Alberta we are part of tornado alley. We get a good tornado at least once a year.

Yay! Saw moose and grizzlies! What an adrenaline rush! ❤
Hey Renee, that picture of a guy mowing with a tornado in the background was here in Alberta, Canada. It was in Three Hills. I moved here ten years ago from San Diego, California and that about sums up how serious people take their lawns here. It always make me laugh!!

Russian River is where I saw my first bear when we were fishing. We stayed at Stoney Creek Park in Seward before. So glad yall got to see some bears from a distance. We just got back from Alaska this week.
For your trailer connection that keeps dinging, Dielectric gel is to stop corrosion BUT is non-conductive insulator,, use MG Chemicals - 8481-1 Premium Carbon Conductive Grease
Hi guys. We had the same problem on our 2018 GMC truck…and they simply changed the 7 pins connector, under warranty… just ask, maybe they will do the same? Great luck you had with the bears! Those salmons are really motivated hey! Good luck on the way back. We can confirm: the road back on the Alcan is amazing…all new pavement to Fort Nelson, then some rough patches but smooth sailing for the most part! They have been busy! Good luck & safe travels!

Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the bears in the fur awesome. I'm with ya in a warning of water coming in fast run.
Love the video, makes me wish I was back living in Alaska. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool listening to these Alaskan town names because my folks left Indiana and pulled their camper up to Alaska and to the Article circle and back. They were gone 2 months. Had a blast boon-docking some nights along the road. Feel like I’m on their trip with them during your trip.
In northern New England snow storms come and go. Just stay home or inside until the roads are cleared and has stopped snowing and blowing around. We listing to the local weather man. Shows year around on top of Mount Washington. Make sure you bring your jacket year round.
My grand kitties travel in carriers. But each cat has they own personality. Loved seeing you both get excited seeing the bears!!
Finally, what’s up Hanks. Rocking my Hanks shirt.
Riding the Rapids would have been Supper Fun & Nice.
That was an amazing travel day, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

From this day forth, Dex lives in a CAGE n’LOVEs it😂
Beautiful!
Ive never seen others check out that place. Glad you saw the bears and they were busy.
You can split your plug prongs and clean them with water and baking soda
I had three cats and a chihuahua running free in my dodge Dakota, traveling from western Oregon to eastern Tennessee! They did surprisingly well! 😁
