Making a Camp for Moose Season | Life Below Zero

Go this way, go this way. These bees! Oh yeah, a bear! Been going through here, digging up... penis. Oh, another one over there! I see bear markings on the trees back here too. So if other bears are coming through, they smell this; they know he's the bear that owns this place.

He chewed up the tree on this side, sees his marking post. It goes all up the hair; he's probably around here because you see all those fresh marks where he dug up those yellow jackets. He's right around here. This doesn't factor into my choice too much where I'm gonna put to camp because there's bears everywhere around here, but it's gonna be pretty sketchy sleeping at night.

Where I make my camp I'm gonna determine by where is the best access from the river to the lake, and seeing this big animal trail here tells me that the moose use this spot because it's the easiest place to walk back and forth from the lake to the river. So what I'm thinking, this is a prime spot to make a camp.

Okay, Skye, let's get this tarp up! Just spread it out as far as you can. See, we're gonna put it between these trees here, and this is just gonna give us a nice little dry spot we could sit under or even leave our firewood here. Let's try to get this done before the rain hits. We might be using this tarp before we even know it.

It's about two weeks out for moose hunting season, but it takes a lot of work and it makes a lot of noise to put up a moose hunting camp. I want to do this early so I'm not making all that noise and having to do all this work during moose hunting. We could have set a wall tent here.

Yeah, but this is something we could leave up; we don't have to take it down. We don't want to put a wall tent up and walk away; a bear might tear the crap out of it. This is a big step for Skylar because he's hunted a lot of small game but now he's got to think of the bigger animals, and it's a lot more dangerous hunting big game.

So he's going to stick close to me and learn all these different moves we do out here to try to get a good opportunity to harvest something. So, it's exciting for him! Now we'll stand it up.

Okay, tarp's up! Beautiful view of the river right here. If any moose come out, you'll be able to see them on the bar from here. A little bit of gas money, some hard work, and this is how we put food on the table out here in Alaska.
