Hey everyone, welcome back. I'm sorry about the upload schedule. I have a lot of footage and cases I'm covering and will be uploading them as I get a decent wifi access.
Today's video we talk about a bear getting into a car campers car, my hikes and investigation of a missing hiker that went missing in the Desolation Wilderness, California along the PCT/ Tahoe rim trail. I also talk about the fire damage from last year and offer hikers some advice on areas to avoid.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Huang's Family 🙏🙏
Thank you for watching🙏🤗

Bryan,you're a very gentle and kind person. We all appreciate you. Don't apologize for any content you choose to share. I can't believe anyone would give you negative comments? Again thank you for all you do and please be safe on your travels
Dude, no need to worry about your upload schedule! Between hiking and helping to look for individuals lost in the wilderness, there's no need to apologize. I just want to thank you for being an awesome human being!!!
One of my most memorable experiences this year in the woods was at our a mild in on a trail was an 80ish yr old man sitting quietly in the weeds on a small chair off the trail birdwatching, my dog broke the ice and he just started storytelling I sat down my dog jumped in his lap and he proceeded to tell me the simple joys of birdwatching and how my local National Forest was once Farm land until the 1930’s. Was just wholesome and educational learning about the forest I spend much of my time in. I
I live 25 minutes from where the PCT crosses 50. My stomping ground. Hiked and backpacked all along the PCT. One time a forest fire started and we stopped and stayed on a huge granite slab to be safe, as we had no service for information regarding details about the fire. As we packed out the last 5 miles, we were stepping over fire hoses and passing fire fighters in action. Very scary and now I carry a fire blanket.
You’re really doing the lords work, thank you so much for helping to look for those who are missing and investigating when you can. This world is a mess, people like you make it so much better. Please stay safe out there! I hope your scrapes and bruises heal soon!
I absolutely love what you do with the silver angels. That’s so thoughtful!
Incredibly thoughtful of you to leave these silver angels in rememberance of these poor lost souls 🌳😇.
Dearest Bryan, you are a blessing to everyone you meet. I was a bit concerned as I hadn't seen a video from you. I am so touched by your gesture to leave an angel in memory of those lost out on trails. Life is so fragile and tragedy can strike anyone of us at a second's notice. Human beings are so stupid in choices they make such as yelling at the bear or being careless about fire in the wilderness. I just wonder how our species can survive with idiots running amok. Anyway I love your adventure and the characters you are meeting. You help the families of the lost just by remembering their loved one. Please be safe, you are rare and you are so special. God Bless.
I'm always glad when Bryan posts a video. He's the nicest, most caring person. I think he would be a wonderful person to come across for any traveler. And yes, the angels are such a beautiful honor for those poor people who've gone missing or worse and I'm sure their surviving loved ones are so touched by Bryan's thoughtfulness. We wish Bryan the very best!😊💓🌺
Nature is spiritual...if you like things over nature I feel sorry for people. They just don't get it. Keep the vids coming.
..Amen to THAT.
Nature keeps me sane.
Brian helps keep me safe!
I LOVE MY LORD JESUS CHRIST OVER nature and ABOVE all things and people. I love his CREATURES and CREATION.
What wonderful people. Bryan you are so amazing. Please keep safe out there. And thank you for all you do. You are so sweet and kind. God bless you always🙏😊
It’s so fantastic to see you out on the trail exploring, searching, and offering support to families and campers alike.
I live in NorCal and lost my home in the LNU Complex Wildfire in August 2020. It’s truly devastating to see the complete destruction of landscape and livelihood. The forests do grow back, families not so much. Thank you for giving us a lens to view these tragedies compassionately. Safe travels to you 🏕
Newsome was on a new cast looking at Post fire area. A burned down house He said “these people are NEVER coming back. “
@@theresa8843 and many of them don’t 😢
You have gone through quite a tragedy, sending strength and prayers to you.🙏🏻
@@danoalex2977 thank you so much! 2020 was a rough year for many. Some more than others. That was right at the height of telling everyone to stay home…then ours was gone 😢
I am also a Northern California native, I am so sorry that you lost your home and probably a lot more than just that, in just one of the now becoming our "new normal" recent wildfires!
Beautiful....and sad to see the trees.
Thank you for everything you do Bryan.... We appreciate all of it. Keep the stories coming my friend.
Hi Bryan. Please don't apologize. I wished more people in this world had a good heart like you have. May God bless you, and stay safe. You are doing the Lord's work. Love from western Colorado.
Hi Bryan from Florida! Im usually not one to comment BUT I just felt compelled to share with u that I absolutely LOVE your spirit, your soul and your heart. Youre a rare gem! Thanks for all ur hard work in all u do and put out. This one hits as I live bout 5 min drive from the Wekiwa State Park and have regular black bear visits to our neighborhood, thankfully uneventful except for our tash cans lol. Hugs.Stay safe on the trails out there!! 🙏💛
I love that you told us about the wonderful people that you've met and the Beautiful letters they left you. Be safe and take care of yourself. Sending prayers for angels to surround you in your travels.
Bryan, you seem to be the nicest guy. Your family should be so proud of you.
Thank you for the care you take with your stories.
I’m so happy you’re out west and meeting a lot of nice people. It’s so beautiful out there. I didn’t know ravers were aggressive, I’ll keep my distance if I see one now that I know. Stay safe and have the best time . I’m excited to see all of your fourth coming videos of your travels. By the way, our Florida black bears frequently get into unlocked cars . It usually shreds the inside upholstery . Sometimes the bears can even get themselves out again but not always. The Ocala National Forest is the largest National park east of the Rockies . Lots of folk live there just outside and sometimes inside the park.
Bryan most of us understand about the lack of uploads have some fun, live life, and do the work God sent you to do! In the meantime we will be waiting patiently until your next video. 🙏🏾💜
Bryan, no need to apologize for anything! You are a gentle, thoughtful, caring person. The silver angel is a very compassionate gesture. Your videos are well done, interesting, and informative. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Bryan's Mysteries & Adventures on Trail. It's so good to know you are well. It was so heartwarming to hear about the people you encountered. I'm sure anyone you meet along your journey is fortunate to meet you. Best of luck to you & safe & happy trails Bryan.😊🌎🏕☀🌲💓
great job bryan ...it made my eyes tear up when you talked about the burnt trees ...and the people that you met...i hope to talk to someone as kind as you are one day....
This video was amazing, and the scenery is beautiful. You are such a caring and compassionate person. The letters were beautiful, and so heartwarming, and show how others appreciate you, and what you are doing. Thank you Bryan for all you do.
You are such a sweet soul!
God bless you Bryan on all your adventures and the light you are to a lot of people! Be safe and thank you for all your hard work. Please take care out there! ❤️
Glad to see you again! Don't sweat your schedule! Just stay safe! Love you from Texas
Ya know Brian I think you are one of the nicest UA-camrs out there. I personally think you apologize too much but that’s not a bad trait to have really. Dig your channel. Thanks for your posts and caring like you do.
❤️💜💚
Finally your back. We’ve all missed you. Thank you for doing such good work.
I agree! Born in Eastern Europe, Reno Tahoe has become my second home. My European friends and I used to go mushroom hunting around a hidden Lake Audrain, skinny dipping, boating on Echo Lakes. The cities cannot measure!
Your videos are worth the wait. Prayers for you while you out on trail and making videos. Another great video!
Thank You Bryan for these Wonderful Videos. We Appreciate Your Care and Work to Bring Them to Us. Take Care and God Bless.
Hi Bryan, I watch your videos all the time. I came across your channel some time ago and really enjoy your content and the way you present it. I personally have never been hiking however I love to watch the channels that cover this topic. Every time I watch your videos I really enjoy your friendly approach and very caring and compassionate coverage. Through your personal stories, videos and pics, I feel like I’ve been on a hike… something I’ve always wanted to do. Just a quick comment to thank you for your dedication and continued commitment to the missing and the way you share the beauty of nature and your surroundings. Good luck with your current hike. Be safe!!
I really missed you glad your back🌵🐢❤️🦎
Wonderful upload Bryan 👌 👏
Thank you 🙏 I like the variety of content ... a mix of sadness, great advice and real positivity too. The letters ✉️ are wonderful and a keepsake from your adventures ✨️ 🌳🦋🙏🙌
You are a very kind and gentle soul Bryan. I'm not surprised people left you such lovely notes. Treasure them. They are from the heart xx.
That whole region of the west is magnificent.....it's been over 40 years since I was out in parts of the western U.S. We never got to the Tahoe area but enjoy seeing your pictures and hearing your stories. Enjoy it all while you're still young
Glad to hear from you. I'm glad everything is going well. You do sound tired please take care of yourself.
Awesome job as always Bryan! And, we do care.
Hi Bryan nice to hear from you.... Safe travels and MANY BLESSINGS 🧡
I hope you're enjoying your adventures!! Thank you for the upload!
I majored in foresty in college and am a trained wildfire fighter. That area will come back, better and more beautiful than before. Promise. I know it's destructive and looks bad right now, but this is how the land is regenerated. Be it by humans or lightening or done on purpose when we back burn. IF THEY'D actually clear the loose brush and debris, it would be so easy for a fire to start. Unfortunately, if a person wants to start a fire, they will. Still yet, it's sad to see, because I also minored in Wildlife Conservation. So I know many animals lost their homes and lives. Every animal in nature, is needed to complete the habitat and life cycles or all species from plants and animals to the fish and water fowl and water life. For a black bear, ya..I'd have just opened a door for the bear lol. Unfortunately ppl can be stupid. While black bears are generally "safe" they've chased cyclists, and can be very curious, not to mention we are encroaching into their habitat, but also people feed them, or have no idea how to deal with a bear when they come into contact with them. Unfortunately once a bear has human contact, if it attacks anyone, the bear pays the ultimate price. Even if the person survives, is a sow with cubs. Then the cubs pay the price. It's all very sad. I tend to feel more for the animals because we humans no better and should make our presence known, should be prepared and know how to deal with the various wildlife, while the animal is just doing what it's always done. Still any loss of life is horrific. THANKS YOU for the vid. I love it. I have got to get out in nature. I'm caring for my terminally ill husband, so I only get to the local trails for a couple of hrs at most. Yet, it's refreshing and does me good. Recharges me. So do your vids.
...I was a Wildlands Firefighter for 3 consecutive years, '95-97. Even tho I was an inmate, these were three of the best years of my life. Thank you.
You seem to have the kindest most wholesome heart Bryan.
I haven't heard from you in a longtime. Welcome back 🙏
Just take care of yourself and stay safe out there.
Great video. Happy trails, God bless your travels.
Scenery shots is gorgeous…hi and take care..
Bears are not the only critter that can open car doors. My dad loved camping. The food was always put in coolers then put in the SUV. One morning we found the coolers had been opened but the culprits were long gone but they had been kind enough to leave nasal dribble and little paw prints. Raccoons some how had been able to reach the door handles and open the Blazer's doors.
Hahaha!💓🦝💓If not for the paw prints you might have pinned the runny nose on a bear! "Nasal dribble", lol! 😀Raccoons are good at figuring things out - dogs haven't yet mastered the doorknob principle.😊👍👍
Aaw I love the guys!
Hope you forgave them 👍❤️🐾🐾
@@isabellind1292 Dogs have paws, raccoons have hands.
@Vixen Doe
WOW!! No kidding?! High strangeness and even Higher intelligence… forest critters affected by technology via osmosis…or, Ai
Not so strange considering all the other “strangeness”
Yay 🤗 a vid from you.
Was wondering how your trip was going. Thanks for the update. So sad about the fires. I live in NZ but have lived in Australia for a number of years and bushfires are freakin scarey. So destructive. Lit by people too, ….shaking my head
Omg your stories of the people you met and the poems you read literally have me crying. *Your Friendly Nevada County California Girl*
The silver angel is beautiful. You are kind. Thank you
Brian I'm so happy to hear u having such a fabulous time!!!.i remember last year I felt so badly cause u ran into some not so nice people!! Plus u fell on ice I think!! Glad this year is much better!!!!!
It breaks my heart , stay safe out there!🌿
May God bless you Bryan for your kindness that you show to everyone you meet along this path of life. May father God Guide your steps and surround you with heavenly angels to protect you wherever you go. You are a light in a dark world. Keep on shining! ‼️❤️🙏☀️
If u press the alarm button on your fob, bears hate that noise and leave. If u don't have an alarm, birdie alarms are only $25, the most annoying sound ever. I got 1 on my purse and backpack.
The woods and mountains are unbelievable. But be very careful. Thanks for the video
Thk you Bryan for all you do, 🙏 God Bless 🇨🇦
Thinking of you, Miss you and praying that you are doing well wherever you are.
Keep doing what you do, I can only hope to run into you on a trail someday.
Love the moon and plane trails
Thank you Brian for bringing us this tragic story. I hope the family get closure. Keep doing what you do... much love.
Great content as always Brian, no worries on uploading, we will see them when there ready. I'm reaching out about a case that I mentioned several times to you by email but I didn't get a response. I realize you are busy and were sick. I would appreciate if we could discuss at your convenience please. Cheers from Nova Scotia
Hi Brian, thanks for the video and thanks for you trying to help find out wtf is going on out there. You sound like a really empatic and caring guy, too bad there aren't more like you out there.
Sometimes when I'm really depressed, I dream about buying a camper van and going exploring the US national parks (I'm European) and maybe finding out a little about what is happening to all these people getting lost in the wilderness.
Keep up the good work and be safe in the woods!!!!
Very sad footage of the burned areas, and much beautiful footage. Not sure I’d be to happy with the bear, but I have a phobia of dying ha ha ha. Very tragic about Wang, all the missing and passed away are heartbreaking. The angel coins are a wonderful tribute. Thanks for an update, missed ya ! ☺️. Your letters are great !
Your in my backyard, save travels from South Lake Tahoe. Love desolation wilderness
Thank you for posting.
Great place to go back packing, I go solo with a 357 of course lol.
You have a big ♥️ my friend
I'm starting to wonder if by the time I graduate college if the PCT will even be hikeable anymore do to fire damage... I'm from California and although I've hiked alot of the Sierras/Inyo areas there's so much I never got to see before being burned down. I feel your pain man, it's so so sad to see this.
People should stop purposely setting it on fire
Me too. I want to hike it before I’m too old, now I’m looking at quitting, vs., retiring because I feel time is running out.
@@JessiTheBestiGaming please don't speak on a issue you clearly know absolutely nothing about!
@@dogmomma4019 unfortunately UA-cam keeps removing my response with over 15 different links to people deliberately starting fires. But you're giving sheep vibes. Bahhhh
Thank you and God bless you 🙏🏾 ❤️
♥️ Be safe and have fun 👍 💕
God Bless You, truly.
Love your photography
Your videos are great, I really appreciate your kind spirit and compassion for people as well as quality of investigation.
I've hiked and camped all over Desolation, including these spots. After solo hiking all throughout this area I've always felt pretty safe other than the obvious fear battles at night in the dark. Oddly, I haven't seen and bears while out there and thankfully no cats either.
Funny story: I live in Tahoe, had a bear get into my neighbor's truck & due to it being on a slope the door closed behind it. We woke up to the bear thrashing around in the truck, freaking out. The sheriff came and thought it would be a good idea to shoot it with rubber bullets as the window was down about 5"...I guess to encourage it to go out of the window as it eventually broke. The bear then bled, peed and pooped all over the truck while destroying everything. Finally the bear accidentally somehow hit the door handle and the door opened on the downslope so he bailed. The interior needed to be completely restored.
Poor bear 😭
So I’m under the impression that you go on these hikes alone? You are very brave. I have always thought that you seem like a very nice guy just by the way you do your videos. I’m am assured that my assumption was correct by the way these people reacted to your kindness. I would like to meet you someday but I’m an old lady who wouldn’t be hiking so I will experience it vicariously through your videos. Thanks Bryan.
I’m enjoying your channel. I live in California and I want to thank you for all your work.❤️🙏🏻
There’s another missing man from Ice House Lake. Not far from Lake Aloha. He was hiking and there’s been no sign of him. He got separated from friends. Nothing has been found, including his huge hiking stick or phone. Not very much information has been reported.
Yay! More stuff
It was interesting sharing a little of your trip and those you met along the way.
One of my favourite artists, Kate Bush, wrote a song about Lake Tahoe and a ghost story which is a real ghost story about Snow Lake I believe. The artist has suddenly become popular in the USA due to Stranger Things but she has always been popular in sales in the UK although quite reclusive.
Anyway, an interesting video. The little angels you make seem a very caring thing to do. I lot of videos about true crime etc seem exploitative for views but you are doing something much more positive.
Thank you for reading the letter and poem!
And thanks for helping those women camping too
While in Oregon... maybe you can get with Steve Stockton and do a video together for both your channels ❤
When me & my ex camped we slept in the vehicle never slept in the tent heck no ! Doors locked & secure ! If bear comes creeping turn that key we outta here 😂! Mostly we just rented cabins in bear country haha
Hey Bryan 🤍🐾 Much Love from VI,BC. You are Amazing 💐
Where you live is absolutely , stunningly beautiful. Lucky you xx
Be safe 🙏
Sounds like you are doing lots of good work and helping a lot of people. Those letters are lovely.
You are very good and righteous man...last of the Mohicans! Brian you should come up here to central Oregon. Big country up here....their are so many high lakes some don't even have names.
Yes, the trees and bushes show signs of fire but, why not the power line poles?
Maybe they replaced the burnt ones ?.
@@annhollowell5352 Mmm, could be but, there’s no physical sign of heavy equipment being used there…and those machines make a mess
Yes love it!!!
Born in California. Left in 2016. Never going back.
You do great videos.
Fires also destroys feeding grounds for all wildlife
Deer moose other depend on the bark of trees shrubs extra not just the beauty for man to see and enjoy
🇨🇦hi Bryan. Hope all is well with you
Remember the fight against GOOD VIRCES EVIL GOES RIGHT INTO NATURE🙏♥️🆘.Please know a person well before you hike off.
How terrible what happened to this area...people are so careless about their surroundings and themselves.
We have many people here in El Dorado County that disappear under strange circumstances. Do not hike a lone and carry a Personal Locating Beam.
looking forward to these adventures on trail. I enjoy all your work but these are going to be different.
Can you imagine coming home and people see your car and they ask what happened, " fabulous weekend, went camping!"
People should stop STARTING FIRES TO FORESTS ON PURPOSE. these people are disturbed
I missed you‼️‼️🙏🙏🙏
