SOLO Backpacking...in BEAR COUNTRY | Part 1

In this video, I went solo backpacking into the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, thru the Palisades Creek Trailhead in Southeastern Idaho, near the border of Wyoming. This area is part of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, and is known to Southern Idahoans as "Bear Mecca". This was supposed to be a quick and easy day hike with a relaxing overnight campout. But it quickly turned into the journey of a lifetime.
