- This is a documentary about human-wildlife conflict. Since June, I've been following around the Black Bear population in Lake Tahoe, taking a closer look at how our actions as humans, affect their day to day lives! This is the story of The Backyard Bears
Absolutely love this! I love our Tahoe bears! Please continue the great work to protect them!
188 subscribers? This is worthy of one million subscribers! Great production.
Haha thanks a ton! Means a lot!
Great video, Riley! I will share your video to raise awareness about our beloved bears. 💗
Thank you thank you for a beautiful and thoughtful film. Can't wait to see more of what you do
Well done Riley! Enjoyed watching this with my daughter who is learning about Bears and how to co-exist in Tahoe. Really impressed!
Thanks a ton! Glad you liked it!
This is a phenomenal film. So much respect. Keeping wildlife wild is essential. Thank you for caring. We hope to see more films from you in the future.
Thanks a ton I’m glad you like it!
What a wonderful, impactful documentary.Thank you! I will share. We live here & love our Lake, trees, streams, flowers, wildlife. I was so fortunate to have worked at Mt. Rainier NP when there were still grizzlies & a rare wolf. Love, respect, care, enjoy. Looking forward to your future films.
Bravo Riley! and thank you so much for your effort to educate the people who have no experience with wildlife❤ it is really needed in the basin.
Domestication has its pitfalls, people are out of touch and a bit self absorbed in relation to nature. Your film presentation came across neutral👍🏼, more than I could of managed. Good luck to you and thanks again for choosing to do an episode on our local bears.
Great job in creating awareness 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🐻🐻♥️
Riley. . . Thank you so very much for this absolutely amazing film! I am a property owner on the West Shore, a small community with many of these amazingly beautiful creatures. I always say we are visitors to their home, not the other way around - they were here many moons before us! You are an incredibly talented young man and I wish you well in your future adventures!
Thanks so much for the kind words! We are the visitors and they deserve more respect! Thanks for sharing!
Riley this is suh a great piece. We'll definitely share it! Hope you continue to put out more of these thought-provoking pieces.
This looks great Riley keep up the documentry work!
Thanks for posting this and giving awareness to how bears are affected by our inability to keep our garbage in safe containers. In 2021 at the middle forkSnoqualmie they had to close the campground due to inappropriate containers for keeping bears out . And now the bears are getting used to humans and aren't afraid like they were. Wilderness is not a city park but people tend to treat it answer such let's spread awareness about how to take care of ourselves and the animals around us
Great film! Thanks!!
Great job!! The footage was really awesome. Thank you for bringing awareness to the subject. I have been living in Tahoe since 2016 and have a family/group of bears that come every spring. I absolutely enjoy watching them forge, play with each other, and nap in the trees. I do have to be super careful with how I handle and manage my trash for this exact reason.
You have definitely found your calling! Keep up the good work look. I look forward to your next film.
Thank you so much for producing this! Echoing others comments about how great this documentary is all around, from visuals to the all important messaging. I came across this from a recent article in the Sierra Sun. We need to share this important work with other media outlets and of course social networking.
Thanks so much the support means a ton!
Well done. I hope all Visitor Centers around the Lake show this video to our tourists. Thank you Riley! Maybe your next video you could follow dog owners leaving their poop bags on the trails. 🙂
I agree
Absolutely amazing film! Great job for a professional, let alone a younger person. Keep making documentaries and give us some updates about The Lake Tahoe Bears. Bless you and thank u for caring. Best wishes!!!!
Thanks so much! There is much more coming soon with our Tahoe Bears!
Thanks a bunch for this.
Awesome! Thank you!
Amazing wildlife footage along with an excellent visual story highlighting the importance keeping bears wild by eliminating things that attract them to residential areas and businesses, especially food service. Also, a shout out to Riley himself. I've seen him many times out and about filming. Super nice guy.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
This was good. Like how do you only have 300 subs
Great footage
Nicely done!
Good job dude! Keep a-goin’!

Thanks so much man I appreciate it!
Amazing! Very well done! I felt like I was watching NatGeo...💙TAHOE💙🤎🐻🤎
I’ve been dealing with the same black bear for a couple of years now breaking into my cabin multiple times each summer and fall, as well as my car. I’ve had to repeatedly replace windows and bars over windows as my primary bear is a very determined girl. She was relocated 140 km away two summers ago but was back within 15 days. This past summer she brought her twins with her and now she has taught them how to break and enter. She cannot be trapped now as she is too trap savvy and I’m nervous for this coming year as I’ll have the three of them plus her new cubs to deal with. I’ve been face to face with her many times and the last time I came home to her in the house I had to smack her over the nose several times with a soup spoon to get her out and I had to give one of the cubs a good smack in his butt. To say she is totally fearless is an understatement as I’ve blasted her many times with bear spray and at best that buys me 15 minutes before she is back prowling around with the kids.
I worry so much for her as I don’t want her to end up having to be destroyed, but one of these days I wonder if instead of getting out after I whack her with something or spray her in the face, she’s going to get pissed at me and fight back instead of taking flight.
This problem started as a result of a hunt camp next to my property throwing food waste out behind their camp along the edge of the bush. Next thing you know, while I’m away from home, this bear breaks into my place and has a grande old time getting into everything, though there was only a limited amount of dried goods to be had.
I’m not sure what my strategy will be this year and tbh I am not sure what it should be as I’m the one who moved into the bears’ backyard and it turns out I am smack dab in the middle of a long established bear highway of sorts.
I really enjoyed this documentary and know too well how human error has led to what is a very serious, expensive and now multigenerational problem! Thank you for educating people. We need to do better!
defeated people homeless are not doing better when they take away . Don't worry eventually the forest will be some thing to watch on screen only wile the Bears will own your back yard and eventually all except the outer city subs. Good by freedom for humans wile man keeping People poor in city limmits.perfect way to keep the middle class and poverty in city limits making it easy to stack humans and let the wild run free. Gee's 😂
Cheers brotha! So epic to see all that hard work come together into such a meaningful piece ~ you crushed it!
Thank you man always appreciate your support 🙏🏼👊🏽

YAAAAS DUDE! So fire 🔥
Thanks brothaaaa
Really good work! Love the drone footage as well as the forest shots, and it's great to see more exposure for how humans are really screwing the bears up. Subscribing to catch what you do next!
Thanks a ton I really appreciate the support! Thanks for subscribing!
❤❤❤❤😢

Too bad it will probably take a human tragedy to awaken the residents, visitors and local government to the risks of careless waste management. It took Glacier Park experiencing the deaths of two women being killed by bears to force then to clean up their act. Humans always seem to have to learn the hard way :(
Yeah it really is too bad, it's so sad to see what we've done to wildlife! We need to do better!
What about Hank the garbage bear, LoL 🤓🍕🍔🥓🥩🍗🍖🌭🌮🍟🥪🌯🥙
If UR gonna enjoy UR places in lake Tahoe, u stay ARMED
The salmon are not native to Lake Tahoe and they need to be extinguished
