The Backcountry Manifesto

Grizzly Bears! | Casey Anderson, the Grizzly Guy | Ep. 021


Listen Later

When it comes to grizzly bears, no one gets closer than Casey Anderson. In fact, for 19 years, Casey's best friend WAS a grizzly bear named Brutus, who Casey would regularly wrestle, ride, and use as a teaching tool at the Montana Grizzly Encounter, a grizzly bear rescue he co-founded in his 20s. Today, he took a break from his busy career as a TV personality and conservation content creator to swing by the studio and talk about grizzly bears, the conservation issues they face, what to do in the event of an attack, and how to prevent attacks in grizzly country. We talk about:

  • Casey's unusual grizzly attack
  • Bear body language and communication
  • Bonding with Brutus, the bear
  • Grizzly conservation
  • How to stay safe in Grizzly Country
  • Your questions answered!
