Katmai, Alaska 1999

This video contains promotional content for Lars Monsen-products, sold in the Sport Outlet stores and on https://www.larsmonsen.no The summer of 1999 was the first time I brought a video camera into the wild. In this episode, I dig up my long-lost DV tapes from a short, but intense expedition to Katmai National Park, Alaska. Alongside my good friend John Trampush, we explore one of the most bear-dense areas in the world during the peak of the salmon run. This trip marked the start of my filming career, and the footage shows a wilderness encounter as raw and mind-blowing today as it was 27 years ago. For those of you who have followed Lars Monsen's many TV series on NRK the last 25 years - get ready for an entertaining half hour! #larsmonsen #thelosttapes #alaska #katmai #bears #wilderness #rawfootage #bearencounter #expedition #survival #adventure
