    My big lesson learned last year was look below you before glassing the opposite ridge, because a big cinnamon color phase bear may be staring at you from less than 100yds away lol.

  10. vaughn jensen

    You watch some of these other hunting shows and there way to FAKE!!
    Like you said, clean clothes, always the perfect shot, all the brand new camo, always match, all 6 people have the same camo color and brand on, give me a break!
    Thanks for calling out the posers!

  11. TerpedUP87

    I’m gonna try to make bear my first big game hunt. I’m nervous about it but excited about it 😂.

  14. David Formolo

    Amen for authenticity. Lampers carrying the squad in that regard with those hobo shirts. Awesome content, keep it comin

  15. Clayton Wilson

    17:53 Lessons learned finally begins.
    1) Shoot further if going in steep terrain. 475-500 yards
    2) Gross terrain provides less pressure.
    3) Micro Spikes, bring them.
    4) Take a picture, drop a pin.
    5) Run the ridge that your on to avoid blowing up the other side.
    6) Learn an area one year, hunt the next quality habitat will always hold Bear.
    7) Pack appropriate amount of calories
    8) Camera Gear should be chosen carefully, you get a gold medal just for participation! 😅

    32 Oz of H20 with a little bit of NaCl, then the bowel movement, caffeine and then food. Gritty recipe for success :). What time of the month were you guys out at last year and with the amount of snow this year what are you shooting for?

  18. Kurt Jay

    When your ready to have a trip you will never forget I’ll bring my goats. I don’t ever pack anything more than my weapon. If I can hike it they can do it better.

  20. Dalton Dunn

    I’ve been enjoying the content you guys create for the last 3-4 years. Some of the best out there. I was able to go on my first back country western hunt last year coming from Kentucky. It was an awesome experience, and I’m looking forward to going again this year. I purchased “the” shirt from Peax and would be very grateful to have a chance to win the giveaway. Thanks again guys. Keep up the great work. It gives the guys traveling 20+ hours out west some great knowledge.

    At minute 14- I bet the posers were the BRCC crew. If that’s not who Brian was referencing, they still fit the description. I stopped watching their series after the second episode. It’s boring and they come off as amateurs (specific to hunting).

    As long as you keep making Gritty films and stay true to the values you’ve had to this point, I’ll keep watching!!

  22. Recurve Guy

    The best part about bear hunting is ? Wait there is no best part about bear hunting !! Only losers hunt defenselss bears and then throw the meat in a dumpster on their way home….🎉

  23. Austin John

    Getting me all amped for April 15th to get here. We've got a ton of snow in Idaho so it's going to be interesting finding the bears. Looking forward to see what your season adventures bring. Thanks guys.

  25. Adam Bernard

    Sound like basic training! I remember being told your canteen must be empty 3 or 4 times a day. You better be working on most of the day or you’ll be “Peeing like a race!” 👍🏻👊🏻

  26. Drew Dombrowski

    Good info, lots of laughs. It doesn’t surprise me that Ryan isn’t a hand holder when it comes to packing someone else’s food, it’s like a test of a person’s experience and to see what a person is made of. It’s a good way to learn, I think most people learn better by fire than being told.

  28. Naturefreq 432hz

    The true grit and flavor of a good outdoor film for me isnt the kill but instead is the misery that accompanies a great adventure. I come from being a lifelong mountaineer and a hunter with a equal love affair for both but the kill on film doesn't resonate as much as the misery and story of the adventure.

  30. Kevin Johnson

    There is a hunting Chanel out there I used to really enjoy and I don’t watch it nearly as often because I feel like it is just about the gear (like it’s a sales add almost). That’s one thing I truly appreciate about this Chanel. It’s down to earth, talk reality and it’s a great story line about the hunt. You guys are truly inspirational and entertaining. Podcast also are awesome and touch on life which relates and I appreciate. Love the podcast and the videos. Keep up the great work. All of you make an awesome team.
