Years ago, I found a mountain lion that had discovered a truly remarkable way to survive. She was hunting deer and dragging them into an abandoned ranch—what I came to call the Ghost Ranch—where she could feed in peace, safe from scavengers. In this episode, I walk back through that experience and share what it was like to track her, step inside the eerie ranch, and see the staggering accumulation of carcasses she left behind over the years. It was one of the most haunting and fascinating moments of my career, and it revealed just how resourceful and powerful these cats can be. Join me as I retell the story of the Ghost Ranch mountain lion, and explain the behavior that made her one of the most unforgettable predators I’ve ever encountered.

But out here, the dangers go far beyond the bears themselves. From unpredictable weather and tsunamis to small aircraft crashes and the constant risk of drowning in glacial-fed rivers, life in the Alaskan wilderness demands respect and caution. During this expedition, one of our crew members nearly paid the ultimate price when his waders flooded while crossing a raging, ice-cold river. Swept off his feet by the current, survival came down to a matter of seconds. We break down exactly what happened, how we got him out, and what it takes to stay alive when filming in one of the most unforgiving environments on the planet. Join us as we face the raw power of Alaska—where every step, every crossing, and every decision can mean the difference between life and death.

Two Bears, One Rub Tree. How much brown could a brown bear bear… if a black bear that’s brown isn’t a brown bear at all? Here’s the twist: • Grizzly bears are brown bears. • Black bears can be black, but also brown, cinnamon, or even blonde. • So a brown-colored black bear isn’t a grizzly, it’s still a black bear. In this video you’ll see both: • A young black bear that’s brown in color. • A young grizzly bear (brown bear) They’ve both stopped at a rub tree, a signpost where bears rub and scratch to leave their scent. It’s how they communicate with other bears, letting them know who’s in the neighborhood, how big they are, and even if they’re ready to mate. Same behavior, different species. Grizzlies show off a big shoulder hump, dished face, and small round ears. Black bears lack the hump, have taller ears, and a straighter profile. So next time you see a “brown bear,” look closely, it might not be what you think.

In this episode of Endless Venture, I stumble upon something wild—a rattlesnake den packed with dozens of prairie rattlesnakes. These snakes are often misunderstood, so I take some time to explain their behavior, what they do through the winter, and why dens are so important to their survival. Later, the adventure gets personal. My daughter and I find a rattlesnake in our own backyard. Together, we talk about what to do if you see a rattlesnake around your home, how to stay safe, and even what steps to take if someone gets bitten. In the end, we carefully catch and relocate the snake, showing that there’s a safe and respectful way to live alongside them. This episode is all about learning, respecting, and coexisting with one of North America’s most iconic reptiles.
