Yukon, North of Ordinary

Bear video behind the scenes

July 03, 2024 • Tanya Handley and Phil Timpany • Season 9 • Episode 5

If you spend time in the wilderness, you've probably seen "Staying safe in bear country." Thirty years ago, Tanya Handley bluffed her way into a job that required keeping her cool in the face of a charging bear (and on at least one occasion, bears, plural). The footage and resulting film is still used as an educational resource practically everywhere in the world there are bears. This is a glimpse behind the curtain of how the bear video was made.
