Warning: This video contains profanity. Hope you can understand why.
Of all the stories that came from my Alaska-Yukon Expedition, scaring the shit out of a grizzly bear is certainly one of the most memorable. The accompanying video footage is also a guaranteed crowd-pleaser during my “Circling Alaska & Yukon” slideshows.
Speaking of, my Spring speaking and book tour kicked off on Monday at Google headquarters in Mountain View, followed by two great presentations at Sunrise Mountain Sports in Livermore. Tonight and tomorrow I’ll be at the Sports Basement in San Francisco, and over the next two months I’ll also be making stops in the South, Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, Northwest, and finally Colorado.
All of my events are mapped below. For more event details, go to: www.andrewskurka.com/slideshows-clinics/current-schedule. I assure you that the Alaska-Yukon slideshow contains many more great stories. And the “Ultimate Hiking Gear & Skills” clinics are packed with valuable how-to information to help with your own future backpacking trips.
