Hammock Camping and Hiking the Blood Mountain Loop - October 2018 (Part 2)

Hammock Camping and Hiking the Blood Mountain Loop Part 2 of 4. My trip consisted of starting at the Byron Reece Memorial Trailhead and hiking the Byron Reece Trail, Freeman Trail, then taking a right on the Appalachian Trail to Blood Mountain for the night. The next day, I took the Appalachian Trail to Bird Gap, turned left onto the Byron Reece Trail and took that back to the parking lot. I was able to get a lot more footage than I thought, so this is broken down into 4 parts. The trip was about 6 miles total. And I did the loop in reverse of what most people I have seen online. Mainly because I wanted a short second day. This entire video was filmed with the Akaso EK7000 mounted on either a monopod or mini tripod. If you have done this loop, please comment below and let me know what you thought about it.

Grizzly Bear Charge in Jasper

While mountain biking in Jasper, Alberta on August 4, 2013, my cousin Dan and I were charged by a grizzly sow three times.

We were riding single track just outside of Jasper town-site (9c) when the encounter occurred. I rode to the top of a hill and applied the brakes to wait for Dan and plan my descent. My brakes squealed a bit, then I heard a growl and looked to my right to see a grizzly bear charging at me.

After careening down the hill a bit on my bike, I was able to distance myself from the bear. According to Dan, who was subsequently charged, the sow stopped on the trail where I had been standing.

When Dan arrived on the scene, he created a distraction, which drew the bear to him. He managed to grab the bear spray from his bag in time to brace himself, but the bear stopped approximately 10 meters from him - just outside the spray's effective range. Frankly, I'm glad we didn't have to injure the mother in any way.

Meanwhile, I worked my way along the bottom of the gully toward Dan so that I wasn't alone in the rough bush. As I reached him, the sow and her cub charged toward us slightly once more before heading away in the direction that we had come from.

We waited a few minutes, then walked away from the scene along the trail with bear spray in hand.

Where does ginseng grow?

Ginseng expert, Bob Beyfuss, explains the best forest types to look for when growing ginseng. While ginseng does not like a lot of nutrients, it does prefer calcium-rich soils. Bob identifies many different plants within the understory that signify whether the site is good for growing ginseng.
