It’s bear country here in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada.\u00a0 In fact, there was just a horrific grizzly attack recently, a couple of hours from our house.\u00a0 The man survived, but still, attacked, and mauled by a grizzly!\u00a0 Yikes!\u00a0<\/p>\n

This video is definitely one that is to be taken with good humour.\u00a0 We are having more fun with our videos, and I want you to have fun while you’re watching as well!\u00a0 Stepping outside the box (of our kitchen) keeps us interested, challenged, and hopefully adds an element to life that you might not see where you live.\u00a0 We are so lucky to live where we do, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and with our Backpack Baking series, we love to showcase our home turf!\u00a0<\/p>\n

This hike takes place on a local hike called “The Butte”, and it is located halfway between our city of Cranbrook, and the nearby one, Kimberley.\u00a0 It is about a 30-45 minute hike, and is one that can be done easily with kids, but when filming and hiking, it takes a couple of hours!\u00a0 Paul has recently started a new hobby, flying remote control aircraft’s (quadcopters, wings, planes etc), so we were loaded our backpacks up with the ingredients needed for baking, the quadcopter stuff, and the tools needed for the filming.\u00a0 It was a heavy load for the two of us.\u00a0 We need to hire a pack mule next time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0These bear poop cookies could be done a with a number of different add-in ingredients.\u00a0 I chose to use coconut, white chocolate chips, and pine nuts for optimal “poopness”.\u00a0 You could use other nuts, and ingredients if you prefer to have your scat look like something else.\u00a0 Black bears tend to eat a lot of berries around where we live, so the pine nuts were an essential add-in for my version.<\/p>\n

Thanks to my mom for lending me her bear costume.\u00a0 Doesn’t everyone’s mom have a bear costume on stand-by for emergency bear videos?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 Well, my mom does!\u00a0 It must be the Kindergarten teacher in her.\u00a0 It’s her tickle trunk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
