As a scientific experiment what Charlie is doing can help understand Bear behaviour and since Bear population is in the rise, it´s more probable that people will have close encounters with these magnificent animals, so the best we understand them the best we can deal with them...
It is a true HONOR to have a wild animal trust you. I respect & envy Charlie for the experiences he chose to have with those bears. And wild animals appreciate kind treatment & food. It would seem that, at least some of the bears, would be devoted (even protective) of Charlie. I wondered, several times while watching this series, if the bears might not kill someone just because they thought Charlie might be harmed. I'm betting they would.
I am actually really pissed off at the way we keep trying to make enemies out of everything that has more power than we do. We should be living with nature embracing it. I mean that would just prove beyond doubt that we do have a great mental capacity. I'd support anyone that went out and tried to learn from Charlie and Kevin Richardson so we can save their existence and ours. Coexistence.

Isn't it sick that you can legally bait bears in order to lure them into rifle range to kill them but you can't feed them in order to simply interact with them and learn more about them? What a twisted species we humans have become.
Actually you can bait them to observe, however hand feeding and baiting with 1/4 mile of a road or cabin is illegal. The bait site also must be registered with the state but there is now requirement you hunt or kill bears.

I’m really sorry Charle, I know you love those bears but I think feeding them is not a good idea for their longevity. Bear need to know how to survive without handouts, otherwise they will not have any need to learn the skills and abilities to be in nature on their own. They’ll just come back to you for food and expect the same from other humans.
I would Love to have a Bear wave his Hand at me like they have sat down like a human, and waved a warm friendly wave at Charlie. That would be The Greatest Honor . That would be The Greatest Priviledge
As much as I admire Charlie’s respect and warmth to the bears it’s all well and good until the bear is having a lean year and is hungry at which point it’s a wild animal that will not hesitate to attack and eat the friendly food man. He should study the bears for science which helps the world at the point he doesn’t need to feed them to achieve his goal of seeing them the bears know Him by scent
Its irresponsible, what's the bear gonna do when he or she sees another human being? If you don't feed it, it will probably attack you. A fed bear is a dead bear.
I have watched many of these videos and I love the freedom to be able to do whatever you want to do. He is out in the middle of nowhere, why does it matter if he wants to be around bears. Let him die however he wants to, even if that’s by the Bears. I believe he deserves to live however he wants to.I think his photos and videos are incredibly insightful
@@ericalicous74 -- Sixty miles from the nearest road. Who was he endangering? Bear hunters?? This was a tiny sub-set of bears that lived in that remote area. Do you really think that those animals were going to send "signals" to all of the other bears, in the world, who live closer to the general population of humans...perhaps to conspire against us?? I can hear them now: "Don't do anything until you hear my special roar...Then knock the bag of dog food, out of their hands, and go for the juggler!" ...C'mon, man. What Charlie did was INCREDIBLE, and the authorities should've just made him an official bear researcher.
I hear that some people think that there are other homes around Charlies place but according to the intro....he has not one single person living anywhere near him,at all! He is alone in the wilderness...and can only be reached by airplane! But,how does a man who was a teacher,with a family,ever manage to attain the money to live as he does and own a plane which he must,in order to live as he does? I would love to be able to go and meet him! I used to live out,in a bit of wilderness and had many black bears,at my home....and,can appreciate what he does....but,they are also very noted for their nonchalance before the sudden shift of direction...for the attack...noticed by my cats..up a tree...Thank goodness for their swiftness,Also!
So this man has lived with North America's fiercest predators for 20 years? I can't even hang around certain people for 20 weeks without getting effed over.
Those Bears were Charlies Friend's ,Companions in Life and he Cherished the Love they had. It was mutual attachment Charlie chose the Bears and The Bears Chose Charlie for Companionship and to share their lives with each other. It was beyond just coming for food, this was a mutually enriching experience for all the bears and Charlie If someone has guests , it is natural to give your friends food when they drop over, some lunch or dinner perfectly natural. I find Black Bears Benign. Bears are solitary beings and tend to keep to themselves by choice. All the more incredable how the bears learned to adjust to each other's company. I Love all the bears. I could see myself being quite comfortable with Black Bears though more cautious with Grizzlies as they are more high strung than Black bears. But a Baby Grizzly I find cuter than a human baby. Just utterly adorable and so beautiful.
The state needs to stay out of people's lives, however if they wanted to let people camp around his property and hunt bears that should be fair game too. I like that he can live how he wants but I also like that people can shoot bears on public land.
The North American places that still have some bears left almost all allow feeding/ baiting bears if you are paying for license and sporting goods / hunting supplies. These persons feed them habitually and then shoot and kill / maim the bears which causes them to become unnaturally associated with humans with very bad intent. Being fed for weeks then maimed by humans causes much more maligned bears than kind persons feeding them like Charlie Vandergaw ( the Alaskan Man who lives with wild bears both grizzly and black.
How come these so called bear experts say... I know what I'm doing. I've been doing this for years and not got hurt. Well these are WILD animals and no one can predict what they can or will do. I think its wrong for what he did but if thats what he wants to do then let him. He may live out the rest of his life without a problem or he could end up like Timothy Treadwell. You just never know how a bear is going to react.
Good Lord , ......So if the Cottage next to Charlie's happens to have a couple teenagers who Drink too much at a summer party and then wrongly stumble onto Charlie's property..........thinking it's their own.......... I'm gonna guess that they'd SOBER UP real Dam Fast..!!?!?... ...That , or Hope to heaven that Bears Do NOT like " Pickled " teenagers..!!! I joke........but with all seriousness , that type of mistake or ANY reason at ALL that would bring a stranger onto this property.....would in All Likelihood spell DEATH. Although I'm Sure Charlie has his property Well Warned with Signs......but still..?!? Kind of feels like this will end much in the same manner in which Treadwell's Did.!?!?
I'm truly baffled at the hypocrisy. Bears mainly attack humans because they are afraid of us, and try to defend themselves or their cubs, but people condemn what Charlie Vandergaw does, feeding the bears and reducing the fear that bears have of humans, under the guise that this will create more bear attacks. In fact, what this man is doing is REDUCING the chance of bear attacks by showing that bears don't need to be afraid of humans. Though we do hunt for sport which WILL make more bear attacks.
Joe B --- You're forgetting one thing: WE are animals. We aren't some sanctimonious, glorified entities (well, actually we ARE...but that's a whole other subject) who are completely different & separate from other forms of life. We're just other animals. And different species of animals live together on this planet. there's a video, out there, of an owl and a cat who became best buddies. If they can do it...so can we. It's personal choice. Be well, Joe. P.S. - Also, if we "admired [wild things]...from as far away as possible", we'd never have the dogs & cats that we love so much. Just a thought. Take care, brother.
Those few square meters for the house inmidst thousands of acres of nature. It is our ALL space or are we supposed to move to the moon. Only a certain physical distance is required once in a while like at night or when they have cubs or we have small children. Simply respect certain rules in nature and you will be respected too. Trust your gut feeling (and train it continuously). Native Indians lived with bears, wolves, eagles etc. in complete harmony for hundreds of years. But Europeans had to sail over and (still) claim the country as theirs. Includes Canada, Alaska, US, all South American countries, the Caribbean, African countries (now taken over by China because of the mines). Except sharing his love with a few bears this man didn't do any harm to planet Earth.
Robert E. Sipes --- He wasn't invading THEIR territory. THEY were coming to him...And they were doing this BEFORE he even started feeding them. It was simply a relationship that evolved, and then grew deeper once food was being shared. I had a gray squirrel, once, and I fed him...And I don't believe, for a second, that I was endangering other squirrels who lived in the area. Charlie's set-up was extremely exceptional. Had he been living close to Others (like in a neighborhood setting), I would agree with you. But his ability to interact with these animals was worth waaay more than any danger that was being posed. It couldn't have been a more perfect set-up for what was taking place, if you ask me. ...Yeah, I know...You're not asking me. In any case, you are entitled to your opinion, and I wish you well wherever you are.
I agree whole-heartedly...But then Charlie did the documentaries, so... In any case, I'm glad as hell that he DID do the documentaries, because I personally think that they are some of the most incredible (if not THE most incredible) programs I've ever seen.
Yea. People making laws so that people dont love animals. Or the land. I hate Alaska going against the people. Stupid. Laws. This guy I want to protect like the president!!!!! May god be yall.
Im 70 , no way I could start to do what he does, diabetes has slowed me to a craw , having bad time with feet and legs but I'm with him , at our age a person should do what they want to, if you die , you die
He actually believes that he’s not hurting anyone?!, really? Number one, he is harming the bears because he is habituating these bears and if he dies then who will feed them then? Number two, he is creating a situation where these bears are viewing all humans as source of food so any human becomes a food source. And three, when these bears become a nuisance they will be killed. So he is actually hurting humans that have no say and he is giving these bears a death sentence
I just don't understand this crap! Bears have been raiding anything they could get into for years! This guy is simply giving them their own space. Us humans for years have been taking away their homes and land. Do these people not get it?
Man these bears are gonna be bears in the long run and they're gonna end up eating these people as soon as they stop feeding , The bear this guy's gonna feed the bears no matter how bad the bears want to eat him up
It would be wonderful if we could just walk up to any ole' bear we wanted to, and give them a big cuddle, and a few treats, just like we can do with our beloved pets at home, but no, they are wild and totally unpredictable. Not only that, but each bear is different some by nature, some by species, and yet others by circumstances at the time. Just like humans, they may not always be in a good mood, or trust, and think like humans do. They may react instinctively at any given moment, and for any number of reasons, which could result in injury or death to any animal or human in close proximity. For these reasons, it would be nearly impossible to predict the outcome of an encounter with any wild animal, let alone bears. Feeding bears could habitualize them into seeking out food around human camps, and housing, with a large potential for disasterous results. I think it's appauling to bait animals to be hunted for fun, and those who do this are NOT brave at all, they are just cruel, uncaring cowards. The bears should be left to their own natural devices, to forage as nature intended. Feeding also has the potential to draw animals together into closer proximity to each other than they might otherwise have been, increasing the danger of tensions, stress, and communicable diseases to be spread, or violent clashes between animals causing injuries or death to other animals, or even to humans. We should all be very aware of the potential risks of indiscriminate interactions with wild animals, not only for our own safety, but also giving strong consideration to the health and safety of the animals that share our environment.
Damm I hope this man doesn't become another a Timothy Treadwell, he's damm lucky to be alive n I just don't see anyone doing what he's doing. I just hope they don't travel to other people's cabin.
killing an animal is just like killing an human theres no diference even tho i come from a hunter family i wish no more then live with the animals... id give up Everything to live with wolves or bears. but the rest of my family hunt mose or "älg" in Swedish.. i dont give 2fks iw Always loved esp wolves and i dould offer the rest of my life to live with em! but bear do amaze me.. their grade in the nature is amazingly high. and the way they live. esp here i northern sweden. they sleep almoust 7 months a year! if you dont belive me? COME WATCH! they are just Amazing... tho whe have Brown and black bears no Grizzlies!
Bakeon* --- I tried living with a 3/4 wolf dog once...Boy, did that NOT work out. It tore all of my blinds off the windows, looking for an escape route, and chewed a big hole in a very expensive leather chair that I owned. Still, it wasn't her fault. She was a wolf...Not a Golden Retriever. Finally found a good sancturary, for her to go to, where she could live out a good life with other wolf dogs.
If you truly love bears, then humans need to stop being selfish and let them stay wild. They are not our friends… they are amazing wild animals. Because of his regular interactions with these bears, an entire Bear family may have to be euthanized just so one guy wants to bond with them. If you truly love bears, scare them when they come around humans, including yourself.
I see nothing wrong with a bait site to study and watch them, but if he feeds them all the time the cubs wont learn how to survive on their own its a sticky situation.

@@tinytawnykitten any update of this??
@@pickofdestiny7 yes but I can’t access on here. Can you reply to my precious post?
thats cool !
He actually believes that he’s not hurting anyone?!, really? Number one, he is harming the bears because he is habituating these bears and if he dies then who will feed them then? Number two, he is creating a situation where these bears are viewing all humans as source of food so any human becomes a food source. And three, when these bears become a nuisance they will be killed. So he is actually hurting humans that have no say and he is giving these bears a death sentence
humans have to kill anything that moves shame,This man was indeed a lovely person.
Is he dead? What was his last name?
@@alvaroq2024 He died of old age sorry I didn't no his last name.
@@golds335 Ok thank you.
Bear Haven forever Charley
I just don't understand this crap! Bears have been raiding anything they could get into for years! This guy is simply giving them their own space. Us humans for years have been taking away their homes and land. Do these people not get it?
Everyone who believes that grizzlies can't climb trees needs to see this about the 11 minute mark :)
Charley is fine. Leave him alone a-holes!!
Man these bears are gonna be bears in the long run and they're gonna end up eating these people as soon as they stop feeding , The bear this guy's gonna feed the bears no matter how bad the bears want to eat him up
Seeing the intro....how the fcuk are Grizzly and Black Bear tolerating each other? Don't Grizzly hunt Black Bears???
It would be wonderful if we could just walk up to any ole' bear we wanted to, and give them a big cuddle, and a few treats, just like we can do with our beloved pets at home, but no, they are wild and totally unpredictable. Not only that, but each bear is different some by nature, some by species, and yet others by circumstances at the time. Just like humans, they may not always be in a good mood, or trust, and think like humans do. They may react instinctively at any given moment, and for any number of reasons, which could result in injury or death to any animal or human in close proximity. For these reasons, it would be nearly impossible to predict the outcome of an encounter with any wild animal, let alone bears. Feeding bears could habitualize them into seeking out food around human camps, and housing, with a large potential for disasterous results. I think it's appauling to bait animals to be hunted for fun, and those who do this are NOT brave at all, they are just cruel, uncaring cowards. The bears should be left to their own natural devices, to forage as nature intended. Feeding also has the potential to draw animals together into closer proximity to each other than they might otherwise have been, increasing the danger of tensions, stress, and communicable diseases to be spread, or violent clashes between animals causing injuries or death to other animals, or even to humans. We should all be very aware of the potential risks of indiscriminate interactions with wild animals, not only for our own safety, but also giving strong consideration to the health and safety of the animals that share our environment.
All he is doing is setting his beloved bears up for killing. Damn hunters bait animals to murder them. He’s helping the pos hunters
Damm I hope this man doesn't become another a Timothy Treadwell, he's damm lucky to be alive n I just don't see anyone doing what he's doing. I just hope they don't travel to other people's cabin.
killing an animal is just like killing an human theres no diference even tho i come from a hunter family i wish no more then live with the animals... id give up Everything to live with wolves or bears. but the rest of my family hunt mose or "älg" in Swedish.. i dont give 2fks iw Always loved esp wolves and i dould offer the rest of my life to live with em! but bear do amaze me.. their grade in the nature is amazingly high. and the way they live. esp here i northern sweden. they sleep almoust 7 months a year! if you dont belive me? COME WATCH! they are just Amazing... tho whe have Brown and black bears no Grizzlies!
Så att döda en ren är samma sak som att döda en människa? Let me guess..du är vegan.
Bakeon* --- I tried living with a 3/4 wolf dog once...Boy, did that NOT work out. It tore all of my blinds off the windows, looking for an escape route, and chewed a big hole in a very expensive leather chair that I owned. Still, it wasn't her fault. She was a wolf...Not a Golden Retriever. Finally found a good sancturary, for her to go to, where she could live out a good life with other wolf dogs.
Could just feed birds, deer, dogs, cats... why u gotta feed bears lol
If you truly love bears, then humans need to stop being selfish and let them stay wild. They are not our friends… they are amazing wild animals. Because of his regular interactions with these bears, an entire Bear family may have to be euthanized just so one guy wants to bond with them. If you truly love bears, scare them when they come around humans, including yourself.
Proud animal killer at 19:11 .
He does not have the constitutional right to mess up the eco system
I see nothing wrong with a bait site to study and watch them, but if he feeds them all the time the cubs wont learn how to survive on their own its a sticky situation.
