Music. Back there. It was a two-day journey. Two-day journey to get back east. So that's like the official end to the Alaska year. So you want to go chronologically or do you want to go by experience? What was the top thing? Top thing all year? I should start summer. So our big trip this year was kind of to Juneau. Year before it was Anchorage. It was a lot of fun. Juneau. Best worst of Juneau. I mean, I think we didn't really get to hit on
too much hiking, but I think the hiking there is pretty cool. There's a lot of trails.
A lot of different mountains to climb i think what said everything in most was actually in february when we went up there for the skiing fly fishing film tour and the skiing so we never really spent much time in juneau so going up there to ski was pretty fun i never skied up there, finally got to try out my new skis that are like three years old now at this point but yeah it was lot of fun but the gosh dang whatever those the the findings that i have were the toe lock thing the touring half oh
my gosh but yours are different so these pins that have to fit perfectly into yours are the nice ones and mine are super heavy mine are super nice but there was a time i was yeah i was and there was a guy that came by me while i was trying to perfectly align the feet so that when I pushed the foot forward and the two pins went into the front, one of them would always miss.
You'll get it, you'll get it. And so I would, oh, there was a guy who, he went by me and he just kind of shook his head and said, yeah, that's a tough one. He recognized the pain, but man, it was infuriating.
But it was a lot of fun to get kind of good i wasn't not that was not very good at turning, like i could do the pie turn but you just don't feel like you're actually skiing you feel like you're just surviving but i do remember that last run was a really good one and i was parallel on the turn and it was definitely felt felt good about it was much better that was the last memory that was good yeah yeah it was super fun skiing there and
it's not like crazy expensive or anything so i like the lodge there because it feels like an old skiing lodge it doesn't have.
Pretentious sort of feel yeah it feels small yeah feels uniquely juneau southeast alaska but it's got history that's where hillary lynn trained she was an olympian i don't know if she was a silver medalist maybe a gold medalist but just like to know that someone that trained on that hill ended up being an olympic medal winner it was pretty cool yeah well and i mean because we never even we bought like you can get just tickets for the lower half of the mountain for lower price and since you
were learning we just did those greens and blues i just yeah so we didn't even explore like i don't even think no half the mountain yeah very little yeah i wanted to get the confidence i just greens and blues yeah that one in particular i can kind of scout it out and figure what to do and how to better prepare for it but yeah it was but yeah that would be i don't know we probably won't go skiing this year with haley but it was fun i'd like to do
it again and it was way better than i also went on that little ski hill in anchorage i forget what it's called hilltop hilltop yeah and yeah i mean juno is like a real a real resort. It's wild because you fly into Juneau and you don't think there's anywhere that you can ski because the east side is all mainland and it's super rugged, glacial carved, just super rugged. But then tucked back into that valley on Douglas Island is like this really nice ecosystem for, for skiing.
Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, I really enjoyed that. And then went to the fly fishing film tour. I'd been to one of those in a while. First time I've been to one of those. I think the last time when I went to it was maybe 2012 or something like that in California, when I was like really going hard in the trout bum sort of weekend, go somewhere, camp all around California until I came to Alaska. That was when I was, once basketball season was over and there were some rivers
that were closed to trout fishing. So you had to wait for the opener. The fly, fly shop in Redding would have, even though a lot of those rivers were still open, They had a trout opener, like barbecue type thing on a Friday. That's cool. So a couple of times I took school off, drove up in three hours to Redding, went to the little barbecue thing there, got a zebra midge or a couple of zebra midges and Jimmy legs, rubber legs.
And that was like what I, you had your tractor and then the midge down low. And I just, man, loved fishing that under indicator, didn't even care. Super fun fish the upper sack. So that's kind of my mind frame was in when I was going to those things and reading all those magazines. And then moving up here, I just kind of like lost track of all that. Yeah. Because most of those films are about going to somewhere exotic. There's always like one or two about Alaska.
And there's a couple of random ones, a couple of conservation ones, and a couple that just don't really make. A couple that are just like ads. Yeah. Felt like. But yeah, it was fun definitely to go to that in Juneau and just kind of have like a little community film night was fun. And they had like drinks and fundraiser stuff. I was thinking Brian Castle won like five things. He bought a lot more tickets than we did, but we bought.
Yeah. I think it was kind of like, I don't think they did this intentionally, but he came in at the end and bought all his tickets. So his tickets were on top. If they didn't get. And I think they didn't mix it real well. Yeah. They had the big mixer thing for some of it. Yeah. They had the big mixer, but sometimes I don't think it doesn't. It just kind of like flops over. I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe he just got lucky.
Yeah. Crazy lucky. but yeah it was cool because you're southeast alaska you're part of like the southeast alaska alaska community but you don't get to spend a lot of time with those people because it's not convenient to travel you're not just gonna fly up for a weekend unless something's really going on, and that was in march so yeah you're not gonna fly up for a weekend yeah we originally went because we thought we were getting a truck yeah that's right
but yeah which we didn't end up getting because there was a what not like a recall but like a recall is that what you call it yeah Yeah, it was recall on, there was a weld or something. Yeah. So we got a different truck later, but. Yeah. Yeah. So then second trip to Juneau, I think that was when we decided that Juneau would be kind of a cool place to visit during the summer. And then you had some work that you could do. So it came up.
It was a lot of fun. I did not spend much time in Juneau outside of sport trips when I was in high school. Yeah, I feel like before this, you've been very anti-Juneau. Juneau sucks. Yeah, it was just the context of sports, so it was kind of that sport rivalry that was... Yeah. And, I mean, big city, I mean, they have their homelessness, which we have here too, but it seems worse there and all that sort of stuff.
Yeah, you get the impression that things are bad. When you look at the online, like all the news stories that you see tend to be bad things. So the news in June of the last like year was like the homeless person that was shot by the cops. You had the flooding in Mendenhall. Yeah. You had too many cruise ships. All those sort of things. You're just getting the low light reel. Right.
So same sort of thing with Ketchikan. Anybody, if they happen to be going to Ketchikan Daily News or looking at news on Ketchikan, you're going to see only the negative stuff and how ridiculous stuff is but yeah so between sports and between the news you know it's not an accurate portrayal so it was nice to go up there and see it for ourselves and it was it was cool yeah well i'd been up there a couple times for work and i thought it was pretty fun i mean they have a climbing gym
they got a costco yeah they have some cool trails you can run around downtown so yeah it was fun uh we did the dolly fishing we kind of heard about the dolly fishing when we were there for the in march for the fly fishing film tour and it was just kind of bizarre to be on the title flats so you're just out there in the mud just in town yeah and it took a little bit i went out with mark that first day and i didn't catch one
fish i was my back cast would get caught on the rocks and i lost like four or five flies and he he caught i don't know a whole bunch but i didn't have quite the right size and shape because They have the hatcheries there. And so your little fry is the pattern to fish. And if it's a little bit off, or the color's off, or the size is off, because if it doesn't look like, I think it was chum, they're doing a lot of chum fry or coho fry.
If it doesn't look exactly like that, then they weren't going for it. So I didn't catch anything, but then went out again, caught some, and then you and I went out and caught some. Yeah, we had the right flies. It makes a huge difference. So, yeah, so the fly fishing was fun. The hiking was fun. We did that West Glacier hike and that was seven or some miles.
It was a little bit confusing as we were getting up there because the trail kind of ended, but it didn't end at a spot where you got a view. The trail didn't end because it went up that mountain that's next to it, but we weren't going to go like 14 miles. So we had to kind of just pick our own turnaround. So it was like the end of the West Glacier trail, but then that trail became some other trail and that's where you got the view. It was like in the first 50 yards or so of that other trailer.
It was something weird like that. So we had to look at all trails, but you're in those second growth alder stuff. So you're running right next to the glacier, but you can't really see it. And so finally there was a nice opening. So if you are doing the West Glacier, then make sure you get far enough to where there's a, it's a very obvious view. Yeah. And it's pretty good. And you can see both up and down the glacier.
And it's before there's like a hard left turn that takes you up toward the mountains. So that was a lot of fun. The food was fine. It wasn't great. Yeah, the only place there that I really like, I think is the Indian place, which we didn't even go to. No, where is that? It's downtown. We didn't really do much. We don't like being downtown at night with all the tourists. Yeah, because we were staying out. Like in the summer, I've heard that at a
lot of those restaurants, you need reservations. Mm-hmm. We went to the hangar for, that was when we were skiing, right? Yeah. We went to, was it Blue Heron or Sandpiper? Sandpiper. It was okay. We went there for lunch and it wasn't very good. Or it was underwhelming. We got kind of weird salads. Weird salads. We'd been skiing and eating just kind of bars, not really great foods. We wanted like a nice salad thing.
So we went there and the salad was kind of weird. So I think that place is really good for breakfast. We went there for breakfast in June and it was great. Got some pretty good omelets. The breakfast burrito at the place in, by the, by Forbidden Peak. What's the name of that? Oh, oh, that place. It's a little cafe out in Auk Village. Yeah, is it like Auk Bay Cafe or something like that? Yeah, maybe. They're pretty decent breakfast burritos. They're pretty dense.
Lots of oil. That was pretty good. Auk, yeah. I think the best call we made while we were up there was to not stay at the Auk Village campground, but instead to go to the Mendenhall campground. We got one that was pretty close to the view and that campground has hot showers. Yeah, it's pretty nice. It's so nice. And it's a better location if you're trying to do stuff. Yeah, better location if you're trying to do stuff.
Beautiful view, open, wasn't real buggy as long as you went next to some of the ponds and please excuse the baby there coughing. If you weren't next to some of those ponds, there weren't a whole lot of mosquitoes. It was, it was nice. Yeah, it was super nice. It was 20 bucks a night, something like that. Something, yeah. Which is, I mean, hotels in Juneau in the summer are at least 200. Absolutely. Just stay there because you got the hot showers.
You save your 80 bucks. You don't feel as bad about going out to eat. Bring some cast iron like we did and just cook some baller meals. Yeah. Some steaks in the fire pits. It was clean. It wasn't loud. Lots of people. Mm-hmm. But, and that one lady tried to stay longer. That was weird. She was confused. She was confused. But she was there in her single tent. Like by herself hanging out. Yeah. Yeah. It was, yeah. There was, there was definitely a story there.
Uh, so June trip was, was fun then. No, no, not a whole lot of hunting a little bit. Yeah. We went to Prince of Wales too. That was pretty fun. Stayed at the Sweetwater cabin. And, uh, we used those same dolly flies that we got in Juneau to just slay some, not actually slay, but catch a lot of dollies. Yeah. And. River. Yeah. Yeah. It was great. Got some nice cut throats in, uh, Sweetwater. Missed the, the sockeye. The water was up the week before.
It looked like people had done pretty well. but some of those runs just get hammered so much that yeah it's it's not what it was well if you don't have the water up there you're in trouble lots of seals in the lake too which is not good so if the fish can't push up the creeks the seal is just gonna gonna dominate yeah stir them up but yeah i mean that was just a fun cabin to stay at paddle around there goes the pacifier.
Yeah then the hunting was yeah we didn't do a whole lot you want to tell your your story i went up on the october 16th went up a mountain and i just kept going and there was a point where i was like ah man this is like way up top this is alpine this is above 2 000 feet i don't usually don't, mid-october is not really time and then like even mid-october you don't really hunt rut because it's still kind of pre-rut they might not be coming to a call but i just went
one more little loop and picked a lip peeked over and saw a nice buck and shot it yeah really nice buck and big like probably the nicest buck you've gotten in the rut at least right yeah yeah four by three it's got just like the last little split at the end like so the main is is pretty wide and it just splits up the top but nice and wide, not a lot of mass, but just a super awesome buck. So I had to hike way down off the mountain off that. And then the next day.
I watched the baby while you went up different little hill. Did yours came to the call or responded to the call or stayed because of it? I think it was coming to the call because I kind of went up and kind of there's some patchy, muskeggy stuff that I went into. And I kind of made a little call and I was trying to listen to anything. I didn't really hear anything, but I took like probably 10 steps forward around
like some other little broken stuff and then looked up. And this little spike was staring right at me. And that was a moment of decision for me because, you know, I've always said, like, I don't think I'd shoot a spike. But then I was standing there and I was like, I don't think I'm going to get many more shots at hunting this year. And there was a little spike deer that had gotten, he broke down the fence to my garden and he got inside. And I was looking for some vengeance.
So he died. Yeah. yep that's pretty much it yeah and you got it in and drug him and then yeah messaged me so i packed up the baby drove up to where i dropped you off we swapped out then i went up there brought it down but you had it a lot of the way so by the 17th of october we had two bucks, yeah which is awesome because we'd hopefully get one or two in august and then hadn't and then And after, I was hoping maybe to get out once or twice during
rut, but having two deer by the time rut even really started. Yeah. There was really no desperation. Got out a couple times, but nothing materialized. I had that one buck I could have shot, but it was fun to just kind of take pictures and not be rushed. Yeah, and I didn't really want you to shoot a buck at that, because that was like the weekend after or something. I think so. And I was like kind of over-processing deer, so I was like, eh. Yeah.
So that was nice. I had never really, I was setting up the game camera and I just called and it came in. And I'd never just kind of sat there and watched the deer, especially from that close and just took pictures. And so that was really cool. I really enjoyed that. It took a little bit of video. That definitely would not have happened if I hadn't got that buck the week before. But yeah, it was cool to, I really enjoyed that, like a different thing to enjoy.
You're never really in the moment for very long. It's just a matter of you see it.
Once you get the shot you take it rather than he's coming in he's looking he's trying to figure out what's going on he sees that call he's very curious what i seeing me is not what he expected, and then when he'd kind of walk away a little bit i'd blow the call again and then he'd he'd turn broadside and look back and just tried to figure out what was going on it was cool, yeah yeah it was also fun to we put up some more game cameras and stuff this
year so it was fun to yeah just get that little piece of you know what are the deer doing how are they behaving, yeah what else is on there only got wolves did last week two weeks ago yeah i got wolves on my camera probably early november but that was it was just that one time and then i don't know they must have just been moving through or something i think some of the times we get pictures that don't have anything on it i think the timer if they're running oh they're just
so i think it It triggers it and they're out of there by the time it really gets the picture or it senses the motion. And so it's now lower in the picture and you, or it's not, it's out of the picture. So you don't end up seeing it. That makes sense. So I think that's where some of those things. Yeah, funny good game cameras. Those Primos ones were great. We have seven of those or something. Yeah. But they're discontinued.
So you can't really get, unless they're really cheap, made in China for like 35, 40 bucks. But all the American ones, the American brands, they might still be made overseas. But they're the ones that have the cellular capabilities, which is of questionable legality.
Apparently the rules are that you can have them but it's kind of the fly out rules and it's kind of ambiguous you can't use it in the taking of game but it doesn't say the regulations that you can't have them so if you were to so you are understanding right was that you can have them out but if you have a deer on the camera you can't shoot that deer until the next day yeah like the flat so that was the yeah when we were trying to figure out the ambiguity of
which is then confusing because like what if you go out and you're because we're kind of like patchy cell service here so you go out to hunt a deer and then ends up it was on the camera the same day you saw it but you didn't i don't know it's like so we're kind of just using those more for scouting fun and yeah well that was the the question of that and why it was it made sense that it was ambiguous because you couldn't say they are legal or they aren't legal
you can't use them to take game and then it becomes a you can't like the more specific you are the more you might potentially paint yourself into a corner so it's ambiguous but with the taking less specific you are than the less able you are to actually like prosecute anyone for that i don't know but not that we're yeah if you if you used it to take game that's a pretty clear statement but also open to.
Interpretation so does that mean that i if we were to buy them and then obviously you're seeing what's out there yeah and i know they were trying to change some regulations so there was a proposal up north where you could use cellular data for bear baits so that you could go out there, And you could, I don't know the, the exact, one of the arguments was that there's no way that you're going to be able to get all the way out to your bear bait in time to kill that animal.
So it's not a matter of, if you're like down South and you have your farm or your property and you know that big Johnny or whatever is out there or the tumbleweed is out there, you can go out there and shoot it because you can get out there so much quicker. I don't think it's really practical. I don't know where you would have a game camera around here where you could access it fast enough to get the deer that's on there at that point. That's the baby. Haley's first podcast right there.
So yeah, I don't know if getting a lot of those is the way to go, but they seem like they're probably good quality. It's interesting to be able to just check it rather than have to go out there. But then going out there is kind of a fun adventure. You might not have to just take a break and we'll edit it. Yeah, we'll pause this thing. All right, baby is maybe on our way to sleeping. So draw, did you, I panic put in for the draw because Ryan, he's like the hunting buddy.
I don't know how we first started hunting together, but it was a while ago. I don't even know how you met Ryan. I don't know either, but we just started hunting together. And yeah, it's been awesome. But he always draws hunts and I don't draw hunts.
And I think on the 15th or I don't know, whenever it opened, like a day or something like that afterwards he said he had put in i was oh i got to put in too just because maybe it's the early the earlier you're in the better the chances or something i don't know so i just panic went in and i didn't think about whether or not we're going to do party tags or what so put in for a goat a moose a caribou and then a sheep knowing that i'm not going to draw
any of them but yeah i just put in for the goat up by town okay so you did put it okay that's the only thing i put in for yeah we should have maybe party drawing i don't know Whatever. Well, I mean, no, because if we hunt together and we bring a baby, we're not packing out two goats. Well, you can just go up later, or we could go up later. True. Yeah, I don't have to worry about that. But yeah, so then how did you choose? You did what moose, caribou?
The moose that I put in for are, try to get some better odds. They're all like fly out type stuff, but stuff that's accessible. And it's tough to tell because some of them have better draw odds, but they're more logistically difficult to get to.
But then once more people figure out about those, then like they could all just end up being really really tough to get so yeah i mean well so for the moose hunting those are any bull tags right a lot of the areas you can hunt spike fork or four brow tines i think yeah so it's not i don't know i mean the moose are like well if you don't draw a tag you can still go hunt pretty much anywhere and yeah that any bull is especially for
someone who doesn't really know what they're doing yet yeah because that sometimes the brow tines i guess can be hard to if you see him right before dark or there's brush or stuff around or you're not really sure if it's 50 inches but yeah the 50 inch thing is that's that's the same reason why i mean cheap hunting to me is like i don't know if i'll ever do it because i think i'd just be too scared to pull the trigger on something that i would
want to be someone who really really knows or just find a double brimmer that would be ideal yeah go clearly double room don't have to count don't have to do anything like that but with the moose thing it'd be nice to get it like that good representation of the species which a lot of times kind of that middle that middle size ryan shot a really really big one really nice one see i'm hunting moose purely for the meat and i think it would be way more manual to shoot a
spike fork yeah but it'd be nice to have again that good representation we don't have anywhere to hang paddles in our house oh we have the whole. Stairwell. Or it could go garage. Yeah, but those would come out of the wall like two feet. That's true. That's true. But I think, I don't think Rhine shot. It's a giant because I don't see a whole lot of moose and we don't see a lot of them down here. So I think it cracked 50, but it didn't crack like 70 or anything like that.
But it was a cool, cool bull. So having that any bull would be great because then it's like, well, that's a spike.
It's a lot of good meat, but this one is just a cool it's got paddles it looks like a moose yeah i don't it's just it's so hard handling meat when you're up away from home and you're like you know you bone it out so you can kind of like pack it all into a brick in the box and you got to find something to freeze it for you and then you got to ship it all back it's just yeah right i were just talking about that today when i was at we were getting breakfast burritos
we thought that island brew opened at seven but it opened at eight, so we were chatting and we were talking about when we went up there for the haul road hunt and didn't really know much at all. So we got some insight from Harrison and Steve, but they end up, and Tyler, but they all have stuff at home that they can use. Yeah. And at that point, Harrison was kind of in between places. He was working on his cabin.
Yeah. Well, and like, nobody has like extra freezer space for somebody that's not them to fill with like a whole moose or something. And they have other stuff going on too. So I was like, well, I'm not going to be out caribou hunting, so.
But yeah, so that was we had the cooler is full of meat that on the way back down it had rained a lot and my cooler leaked and so there's like some water in there and meat ended up being fine but it's just kind of a mess and then we bought a ton of ice to put in the coolers and we were staying at a hotel it's just a mess but then with the caribou fly out much better got that figured i got it to the.
Butcher froze it for us. And then he went to the same guy, and the guy said that he remembered, Ryan said the guy remembered him, which is cool, and took care of the moose, so it's getting better and better each time. So he actually got the moose processed up there? Yeah. Oh, that is nice. Yeah. So things getting better, and then Harrison and Steve have just been really good helping us out and figuring stuff out. So, yeah, with that in mind, it kind of helps some of those.
Yeah. And if you're going to look at it as like a once in a lifetime or once, we're not going to be going up moose hunting every year. And so at some point, go big, get it cool. And you kind of have that memory. And if you want to do it more, you can. But yeah, I mean, it's like we have so much to do around here that, yeah, you're right. It's like a, maybe not once in a lifetime, but it's not something that you do. Yeah, if you do a big, go big for caribou, go big for moose, go big for sheep.
And then and if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out like i would like to go caribou hunting again we went with ryan on the fly out that was awesome but i think i think it might be fun when haley's old enough to go up and do the hall road just for the drive for the camping just really enjoy there's like a youth hunt too we should try to yeah we need to get her on the get her on the i think is that for the 40 mile i think there's a youth hunt that it winds up a few days before i think
so that one's a it's gonna be interesting to see what happens with that with the population because it kind of boomed and so they had that winter hunt where you could kill cows but then.
Yeah i don't know what what that's going to look like in the in the future there's certain zones in that 40 mile herd that if you fly out to you can they don't close as early as that one so you can hunt them longer but the one that's up on the steece highway it's just pretty brutal yeah but i do think caribou hunting is a good first time because you see a lot of animals well if you are in the right place at the right time you can see a lot of animals yeah the the nice
thing about the haul road hunt it's a long stinking drive but by having the truck there you can have access and there's a guy that we saw one of the pullouts who had full-on canvas 10 and everything with a full on operation and he had his family up there and it was about making sure the family was happy and so he was able to kind of do his his hunting with his bow while the family had just a super nice set up, which is awesome. And you're in unbelievably beautiful terrain.
People go up there just to drive up there just to see it. So that could be a cool one. But then. It's an archery hunt and there's other people around. So if you want to get away from people, see more animals, then you got to hit it either later or get away from there. But yeah, the fly out option is super fun. That caribou hunt was. I think the fly out option.
And I mean, I think, well, if you can do a fly out where you don't have to rent a vehicle, I feel like it's not that much more expensive than because the whole road, you got to rent a vehicle and it has to be like, you know, what did they give you like two spares and like, yeah, you can't just take any vehicle up there. Yeah. We had a nice truck. I think that U-Haul thing is something that you can do.
But if you know that you're renting a U-Haul that's already been up there before, like those trucks are not built for that. So, or those vans are not built for that. So, if you have these U-Haul vans that have been up the haul road and back because people lied and said they weren't going to do it and then do it, like that, that's. Well, I don't know. Do they say that you can't take them on gravel? I think the initial loophole was that they didn't say that you couldn't.
So, maybe if they do now, then that's different. but yeah i think that was like the one rental vehicle you could get where they didn't say yeah so that loophole may have may have closed i know they're very specific about, if you're renting and going up the mccarthy road for that would be an access maybe i think maybe people would use that for sheep the unit 13 caribou is closed except for federal assistance and even might even be closed for
that but yeah getting up there we thought about maybe that'd be a cool adventure place to go and just see but it's brutal and there are specific rules against it for a lot of the well that's like a four-wheel drive road i think right yeah it's like pretty it's like a jeep road or something yeah and there's really nothing you get to the old i think it's the kensington mine okay or something like that kennecott mine whatever but uh yeah
but you don't get up there and there's not like much infrastructure there's not like a cute town that's up there where there's like shops there there's food or anything I think it's just kind of a long trashy road to get to a cool spot but yeah it's not much of a destination yeah yeah there's a there's a stinking lot to do so if we draw it'd be awesome but if not then you know this that early August before school starts.
Can do something do a fly out yeah I would love to do a fly out with her for deer. She's got to promise not to cry too much i think i would be terrified being in the tent she promises she won't cry yeah i saw a reel on instagram i sent it to max that was a scientist or a biologist was talking about the evolutionary instinct that mothers have to respond to a crying child.
And the evolutionary response that men have to respond to like ruttling in the leaf rustling in the leaves or something okay so and the modern application was of that was often men will sleep through the night when the mother won't because the baby is coughing or because the baby is unsettled but then when it comes time to camping then the the man might be a lot more aware or like while awake and hiking around the man's senses might be more heightened so maybe it's
not because i believe that it's not because i don't care that i'm sleeping well through the night but i do feel kind of guilty when i'm like i slept pretty well last night maybe woke up once or twice when the baby was unsettled but so all that to say if we were flying out somewhere and we're in a tent and she is crying or whatnot and there's a bear that's like dude what's going on in there i don't think you think a baby a human baby crying would attract
a bear predator calls are pretty are kind of singularish i don't think because it's like all the smells i think yeah i think the smells would deter it but i think at two in the morning my logic wouldn't really be there If the baby starts crying, I'm automatically thinking bears coming. And so I would just... I also, I mean, when she wakes up in the night, she doesn't really cry. She just like makes her little like, eh, eh, eh, eh. Which sounds like just a baby deer that...
Bear would want to eat maybe yeah well i think that's the evolutionary or the biological concern that i would i would be looking for the dangers lurking.
I don't know again like how many stories do you hear of like people getting carried off with wolves or whatnot like it just yeah it's it's probably not a rational reasonable thing to worry about yeah like that never happens is that what you're saying yeah i don't want to jinx it but yeah i don't like you said with the smells with the commotion i don't think even if a bear was somewhat curious because they heard the sound they would probably or they
probably wouldn't even be close enough to maybe hear the sound because of the smell if they did hear the sound and then they got to where they smelled then yeah and i think also they're hearing all the other sounds of big humans right yeah so well yes that could be cool it just have to be a spot where we could access hunting grounds without yeah and we'll have to take her on some other little camping trips before we yeah just make sure for sure but get her we'll
be camping out in a hotel tomorrow in seattle so see how she does yeah so. Uh yeah other than that that's just kind of the life is the growing the baby and doing the work and yeah so all right well trying out these new blue tooth mics these are a lot less cumbersome than using the really good, I think the really good microphone setup. I think these will be good for remote recording. Yeah, traveling. This could be awesome. So, all right. Well, that's this episode. Have a great- Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, all that stuff. And we'll talk to you next time.
