    As a Canadian and outdoorsy guy, I'll just say, the three biggest threats in terms of animals are Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears and Bull Moose during the rut. Polars and Grizzlies are only in very limited parts of the country. Where I live we have black bears, cougars, wolves, coyotes etc... but only the bull moose makes me nervous when I encounter wildlife. I've had 7 or 8 bear encounters and all ended with the bear leaving the area without showing aggression. :)

      What about “Sasquatch”? I’m sure you probably heard noises from unknown “animals” from time to time.

      @danielmaldonado7287 no... I never have. I've spent years in the bush... ive never heard a sound I didn't recognize. I will say, red foxes and mountain lions (cougars) make the wildest sounds in these parts.

    That is a very lovely forest area. As far as the bear spray it is always nice to take the precautions but I find that in our world today it is the humans I worry about more than the wildlife. I sure hope you were able to enjoy as much as you could Canada has experienced so many fires this year.

    Fantastic video Becky, really wonderful to watch - thanks so much for taking us along with you. What gorgeous scenery, I know we have some over here, but it feels to me like its character changes quite quickly as you go through it. On big land masses it has so much more space to spread out in (I know that sounds a bit silly and obvious), but you get forests and mountains that seem like they go on forever - you can travel for days and they are still there. Looking forward to seeing more videos from your trip.

    If you bike pack from Kelowna to Vancouver beware the TransCanada Trail, Kettle Valley route has had severe washouts. Kelowna to Princeton is ok if rough but Princeton to Coquihalla Summit is in bad shape. You can get from the summit half way down the grade but at times you are on the major motorway. If you go from Hope down Silverhope Road and Paleface Pass, it is remote, steep and rugged.

    I remember watching some of your vids when you had just started vloging. You were so young and it did seem you'd have a lot of adventure in your future. It's great to see you now and see what an interesting young lady you've become. I've spent a lot of time out in the Rockies here in Colorado where I live. I also did a bike tour in the Banff and continental divide area so seeing the Canadian Rockies again is great. This years trip didn't end up perfect for you but just look at it like that just means you really do need to plan another.

    Becky, if I might add my two cents; it is absolutely worth visiting the desert southwest of the US. California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, even Big Bend in Texas are all fantastic. And there are no grizzly bears. Of course summer can be deadly hot. Be safe!

    A couple notes about bear spray. It is brutally painful if you spray yourself, so if a bear approaches from the direction of the wind and you spray, you are going to feel it as well as the bear. If you are sleeping with the spray and use it in a tent, you are probably going to get it worse than the bear. I have had some very close encounters with grizzlies, but never had to use the spray and I am not quite sure how to use it if the bear is upwind or in confined quarters.
