Last weekend was the first time Jacey hunted with us since the attack, and I am so freaking proud of her and how far she's come. Recovering after a bear attack is no easy feat, and she continues to impress me with her resilience and tenacity.

Canadian Thanksgiving is a couple days away, and this year I am so incredibly thankful to have my best friend. To those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend, we hope you have an amazing long weekend 🦃 💕

Today dropped a podcast with me talking about my bear attack experience. I want to thank everyone so much for all the well wishes and support I've received over this past week. My leg is almost completely healed up and this photo was from several days ago.

I think I did a fairly good job holding myself together throughout this entire podcast, but honestly, I was extremely nervous and had a bit of a panic attack afterwards when everything really started to sink in. When friends and family ask how I'm doing mentally, the answer is always good and there is no doubt in my mind that I will be back in the forest surveying and hunting in no time, but that doesn't mean I still don't currently flinch at the sound of a branch breaking. I thought it was important to share that even though I tried my best to sound calm and positive throughout this entire podcast, things might take a little bit of time before I feel at home in the outdoors again. I know I'll get there though because I have an amazing support system through family, friends that will be there every step of the way. If you want to listen to the full podcast, the link is in our bio.

For those of you who don't know, I work as a full time biologist. Yesterday I was doing a mountain goat survey, which I routinely do, but this time the survey went very differently. I was cresting a hill to get to my next lookout point, and as soon as I got to the top, I ran directly into a grizzly bear and his freshly killed mountain goat. Before I could even realize it was a bear, he had closed the 10 yards and was lunging at me. I instinctively threw my leg up to shield my torso as the bear made contact and flung me to the ground. Thank goodness I had my Kuiu pack on, which took some of the force off the fall and helped from getting the wind knocked out of me. While on the ground, the bear was standing right over top of me, using his weight to easily pin me with just one paw on my pelvis. I keep a knife attached to my bino harness at all times and thought that that would probably be my only hope because it would be too late if I took the time to unholster and uncap my bear spray. I grabbed the knife and shoved it as hard as I could into the bear's neck. This made him take a few steps back and pause just long enough for me to reach my bear spray and douse him in it. He turned and ran and I did the same. Overall, I escaped with fairly minor injuries: a seriously black and blue body and relatively shallow cuts. Now that I've had time to process, I truly am so fortunate and grateful to have made it out of that situation alive.

Sometimes it's hard to remember just how wild and unpredictable nature is. You never know what could happen, so if you take anything from this post, please pack all the necessary equipment you need to stay safe and protect yourself. Also, thank you for making me that knife and quick grab holster. It's definitely performed above and beyond its regular duties.
