Speaker: 00:00:04

Amy Martin: Hey Bear.

Speaker: 00:00:09

Amy Martin: I'm in Glacier National Park.

Speaker: 00:00:12

Amy Martin: I'm walking out from Siyeh

Speaker: 00:00:14

Amy Martin: Pass.

Speaker: 00:00:16

Amy Martin: This is one of my favorite

Speaker: 00:00:17

Amy Martin: hikes in the park.

Speaker: 00:00:18

Amy Martin: And a couple

Speaker: 00:00:20

Amy Martin: of miles back, I

Speaker: 00:00:23

Amy Martin: had the-

Speaker: 00:00:25

Amy Martin: hey bear!-

Speaker: 00:00:27

Amy Martin: the lovely surprise and

Speaker: 00:00:30

Amy Martin: somewhat dangerous situation of

Speaker: 00:00:32

Amy Martin: seeing two

Speaker: 00:00:34

Amy Martin: grizzly bear moms and

Speaker: 00:00:36

Amy Martin: three cubs.

Speaker: 00:00:38

Amy Martin: And I just walked over a big

Speaker: 00:00:39

Amy Martin: pile of bear scat.

Speaker: 00:00:42

Amy Martin: Hey bear.

Speaker: 00:00:47

Amy Martin: So

Speaker: 00:00:51

Amy Martin: I have this funny

Speaker: 00:00:53

Amy Martin: experience of coming to this

Speaker: 00:00:55

Amy Martin: place that I

Speaker: 00:00:56

Amy Martin: love

Speaker: 00:00:58

Amy Martin: and just soaking in the quiet

Speaker: 00:01:00

Amy Martin: and loving it.

Speaker: 00:01:02

Amy Martin: And then I need to be loud

Speaker: 00:01:05

Amy Martin: for safety purposes.

Speaker: 00:01:09

Amy Martin: But it's no joke.

Speaker: 00:01:11

Amy Martin: Yelling "Hey Bear" saves lives.

Speaker: 00:01:12

Amy Martin: I'm going to do it

Speaker: 00:01:14

Amy Martin: right now.

Speaker: 00:01:15

Amy Martin: Hey Bear.

Speaker: 00:01:18

Amy Martin: Because if you surprise them and

Speaker: 00:01:20

Amy Martin: they charge you or hurt you,

Speaker: 00:01:21

Amy Martin: it's very

Speaker: 00:01:23

Amy Martin: likely that bear is going to

Speaker: 00:01:24

Amy Martin: get killed.

Speaker: 00:01:25

Amy Martin: And of course, you might get

Speaker: 00:01:26

Amy Martin: killed.

Speaker: 00:01:27

Amy Martin: Neither option

Speaker: 00:01:29

Amy Martin: is ideal.

Speaker: 00:01:31

Amy Martin: Hey Bear.

Speaker: 00:01:37

Amy Martin: It's so funny.

Speaker: 00:01:37

Amy Martin: Just because we're so loud, I'm

Speaker: 00:01:39

Amy Martin: so loud.

Speaker: 00:01:40

Amy Martin: Moving around my daily life in

Speaker: 00:01:42

Amy Martin: a car.

Speaker: 00:01:43

Amy Martin: All the many things I do

Speaker: 00:01:45

Amy Martin: that are just modern

Speaker: 00:01:47

Amy Martin: human noise making.

Speaker: 00:01:49

Amy Martin: And here,

Speaker: 00:01:51

Amy Martin: where I'm at my quietest, here

Speaker: 00:01:54

Amy Martin: it's like,

Speaker: 00:01:56

Amy Martin: shout!

Speaker: 00:01:58

Amy Martin: Make some noise!

Speaker: 00:02:01

Amy Martin: And although it annoys

Speaker: 00:02:03

Amy Martin: me to have to

Speaker: 00:02:05

Amy Martin: do this,

Speaker: 00:02:06

Amy Martin: there's something I think

Speaker: 00:02:07

Amy Martin: that's also interesting

Speaker: 00:02:09

Amy Martin: about it.

Speaker: 00:02:12

Amy Martin: Here we are in this place where

Speaker: 00:02:14

Amy Martin: as much as possible

Speaker: 00:02:17

Amy Martin: the animal's needs are

Speaker: 00:02:19

Amy Martin: in the forefront

Speaker: 00:02:21

Amy Martin: and we have to adapt around

Speaker: 00:02:22

Amy Martin: them.

Speaker: 00:02:24

Amy Martin: I have to discipline myself

Speaker: 00:02:26

Amy Martin: to the place and to

Speaker: 00:02:27

Amy Martin: the animals in the place.

Speaker: 00:02:29

Amy Martin: I have to

Speaker: 00:02:30

Amy Martin: do something

Speaker: 00:02:32

Amy Martin: that I would prefer not to do.

Speaker: 00:02:34

Amy Martin: For all of our good,

Speaker: 00:02:36

Amy Martin: mine, theirs, other hikers.

Speaker: 00:02:37

Amy Martin: Hey Bear.

Speaker: 00:02:44

Amy Martin: It makes me so, like,

Speaker: 00:02:45

Amy Martin: hyper aware of my noise,

Speaker: 00:02:47

Amy Martin: hyper aware of when I'm being

Speaker: 00:02:49

Amy Martin: quiet.

Speaker: 00:02:51

Amy Martin: What would it be like if every

Speaker: 00:02:52

Amy Martin: time I

Speaker: 00:02:53

Amy Martin: added noise to a place

Speaker: 00:02:56

Amy Martin: I was super

Speaker: 00:02:58

Amy Martin: aware of it?

Speaker: 00:02:59

Amy Martin: Like I am with all this

Speaker: 00:03:00

Amy Martin: hey-bearing. Hey Bear.

Speaker: 00:03:09

Amy Martin: It's so hard to imagine what

Speaker: 00:03:10

Amy Martin: that would be like because

Speaker: 00:03:12

Amy Martin: it's so

Speaker: 00:03:14

Amy Martin: not

Speaker: 00:03:16

Amy Martin: the experience that I normally

Speaker: 00:03:17

Amy Martin: have.

Speaker: 00:03:20

Amy Martin: There's an airplane.

Speaker: 00:03:37

Amy Martin: Hey there. Are you headed up to

Speaker: 00:03:38

Amy Martin: the pass?

Speaker: 00:03:39

Hiker: Yeah.

Speaker: 00:03:40

Amy Martin: It's been a while now, but I

Speaker: 00:03:41

Amy Martin: ran into 2 sows and 3 cubs.

Speaker: 00:03:45

Hiker: Cool.

Speaker: 00:03:45

Amy Martin: Yeah, it was very cool.

Speaker: 00:03:47

Amy Martin: A little too close for comfort.

Speaker: 00:03:48

Hiker: Yeah.

Speaker: 00:03:48

Amy Martin: They're going the other way.

Speaker: 00:03:50

Amy Martin: Just make a lot of noise.

Speaker: 00:03:51

Hiker: Okay. Thanks for the heads up.

Speaker: 00:03:53

Amy Martin: Yeah. Have fun.
