Hey Bronco fans!

I’ve been documenting my trips on YouTube lately, and decided to go on a week long journey through Bear country, searching for Grizzlies.

Come by my channel for a watch, and subscribe if you like Bronco content!

Hope you enjoy!

Can buy perimite poppers trip wires on Amazon cheap I would have three layers if tenting in grizzly country even with zero food or wrapers in tent and sealed food strorage and trash in vehicle.

I almost set up tent in bad Grizzly relocation area in MT once ..thanks to some locals who I was lucky to meet on the road at 10 PM while trying to decipher all the sign specifications at the gate entry haha.

Is it a setting on the channel or video for YouTube to produce those AI thumbnails?

I created the thumbnail myself with graphic design tools and AI

Bro... I get that you're trying to become an 'influencer' but clickbait AI thumbs that have nothing to do with the actual content of the video turn a lot of people off.

But I get it. Truthfulness does not equal views. "My wife and I go camping and see bear poop" doesn't have the same attention grabbing headline.

Good for you for getting outdoors and posting content. But please stop with the nonsense.

Did not watch, I’ll never understand the need to put one’s self in unnecessary danger for no actual reason with deadly animals.
It only encourages stupid followers who don’t have the experience needed to do the same and people end up Darwin’ed.

Wild opinion for someone who didn't watch the video...

You do you my friend. No room for negative energy here.

Appreciate you watching it. You are right, clickbait is lame, but I hate to say, its kinda needed. I'll take your critiques into consideration though. Have a great day!

I read your post and title. You said you’re going on a week long trip looking for grizzlies and sleeping in the field.
If the video is not about that you should reconsider using incorrect descriptions, I don’t watch clickbait videos.

So then why are you here? Why waste time yapping about something you DON’T want to watch, on a topic you DON’T seem very familiar with? 😂

Carry on and go enjoy your day doing something else.

I'm actually in Glacier NP this week... trying to camp in nearby national forests. Stopped into a nf camp, right away I see a sign, bear in camp today. Spoke to some campers and the camp host. They tried to scare it off but it was not deterred, it was not afraid. They waited in their cars or campers for it to go away. Forest Ranger wanted to capture it and move it. They say it's best to camp in established campgrounds. That way everyone in camp can be notified of bears in the area. Dispersed camping, keep your head on a swivel. Saw this one up in Many Glacier today.

Title is "Grizzlies Opened Their Tent", I didn't watch as it had an AI thumbnail. If you point me to the time stamp where an actual Grizzly opened your actual tent I'll watch the video and give a thumbs up. Now, if it was a tent that got torn up by a bear when no one was around that would be a different story.

Also you could just watch the video? You might like it, and all the hours that went into it. It’s a trip about searching for bears. It’s 2026 and all titles have “clickbait”

The title has context for the video, despite being made with AI. It doesn’t detract from the rest of the trip.
