Ever get the feeling that someone or something is watching you? What do you do when you feel this way, you are new to backpacking, and are alone in the backcountry? In this episode, Elizabeth ‘Etch’ Mordensky describes an experience from her early hiking career during which she saw all the tell-tale signs of grizzly bear on her proposed overnighter in the Greater Yellowstone Area. In doing so, she reminds us about why we walk in our natural spaces.
