GREAT interview! I thank you for sharing your experience; bear attacks are my worst fear backpacking in Montana and your knowledge and survival ideas will definitely be in my mind when I’m out exploring!

Hi Mike, It’s Joe from McAllister, Mt. You did a great job interviewing my Pal Todd. Very professional and concise. Much better than a lot of the media outlets could do………..Thanks! Todd is the toughest Mountain Man I know. I appreciate his friendship and yours.
I hope to see you on the Lake again this summer. Joe 🙂

The audio interview was great!!!! As Todd spoke, I had questions and as the interview went on every question was answered!!!! For example….would he go back to the place it occurred? He answered not this year! I also was curious about the safety of the other person that he said was there in that area that day….he answered. I realize Todd doesn’t like the publicity that has come from this but what he endured and how he reacted could and will save lives in the future. I do have one question…..I’m from Alabama and frequent Gatlinburg Tennessee and their have been a growing number of either encounters or attacks. The Forrest service personnel states that if an attack occurrs to fight with all of your might! That seems to contradict what Todd did…is that because of the difference between black bears and grizzly/brown bears?
