Catch and Cook BLACK BEAR using DOGS in SURVIVAL CHALLENGE! Ep3

We track down a black bear using a team of dogs with the help of Mathew Hawthrone. The idea is to use the bear for food in order to survive eating nothing but wild foods without losing any body weight.

We weight-in and weigh-out and if we lose any body mass at all, we have FAILED the challenge!

To survive long term in the North, you best eat black bear. They are loaded with rich fats and 100% legal to hunt – even over bait.

Bear meat tastes great. If you don’t agree with how or what we legally hunt, please contact our local MNR!

Bear population is estimated to be very healthy at nearly 100,000 animals in Ontario alone, the highest in North America. We harvest bears at rates of 6-8% of total bear population which is not near the 10% the population can sustainably endure – black bears are NOT endangered or even close to being so. We pay money for tags and the population is carefully managed by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The highest success rates are for non-residents hunting over bait at 57%, the lowest is for residents who carry bear tags while deer and moose hunting who happen to stumble upon a bear (called still hunting) at 17%. In wilderness living, where you are in search of food, the decision is obvious.

Unlike Naked and Afraid, ALONE, or Survivorman, there is no limit to the tools we are allowed to use on this survival challenge. Living off just WILD foods is harder than you think! If it’s legal, it’s fair use. Sometime we even do some bushcraft, but the main focus is really on eating wild foods, wild edibles and catching and cooking various foods.

This isn’t about just surviving, this is about thriving!

Season 4: Northern Autumn, takes place in Northern Ontario with vast opens seasons including fish, catfish, pike, trout, birds such as grouse, duck, and geese, bear, deer, and moose. Also wild apples, mushrooms, berries, and so much more. We make use of all the resources in this challenge to meet the demands for calories imposed by the human body!

In this episode we use the services of Mathew Hawthorne to track down a bear using dogs. Some may find this not sporting, but it is legal and bears are programmed to evade and be chased by wolves, so this is completely natural. The bears are not injured, are cleanly harvested and the dogs are not hurt in pursuit.

Beaver are surprisingly easy to trap and offer a ton of nutrients to the forager. A real staple item! Beaver is also great eating, usually very full of fats crucial to surviving long term in the wild.
