She hiked herself into a LIFE or DEATH Situation... and paid dearly

Broooooo I'm 41 CEREAL GETS BETTER OLDER YAH GET any time of day cereal is THE GO TO GOAT

I'll never abandon the Captain! Captain Crunch or DIE!!!!

I've been wanting to invite you on a day hike in Northwest Montana......

She had an adventure and came out with a new perspective. I really doubt any who took part in looking for her where upset but happy with finding her/her finding them and she was "fine".

Glad she was found safe and sound.

I think we should all hit the trails with supplies for "just in case" scenarios. Especially in more wilderness areas. After getting lost in the woods with two dogs and one bottle of water in mid 90 degrees for 7 hours...I can relate! Never again have I been unprepared. Madeline will not be either. It can happen to the best of us thinking its only going to be a short hike.

I like that this ended well. I like that the hiker was found. However, I will likely not click on any more of your videos because of your video title, which is misleading, and Clickbait like. When you said in the title that she paid dearly… That is the part that is misleading. There was no reason to use Clickbait in your title.

Wish the gnomes saved her like the little people saved me....maybe they asked her in allure, like me.??? Don't you want to stay here??? Are our Forrest not beautiful??? Don't you want to stay with us?

If you dont want to pack gear, hike only in places where you know you can alert others. I spend a lot of time in county parks that feel empty and wild, but where i know someone will hear hollering. Especially if you are inexperienced or simply getting older! I used to boulder alone, but I'm 53 and a couole years ago, some other hikers asked me to please get down (i was on a large boulder, leaning over a river to reach some branches to forage from), ,i gave somebody a panic attack, and i realized it was time to stop doing that nonsense.

To be honest, ive become so used to hikers disappearing here, it's never shocking. Growing up, my mom always said The Bob was best left to nature.

That was so close. So glad she survived. wow.

so thankful she and her pup were okay!

I'm so relieved to hear this story had a happy ending, making a welcome change from many of the others I've listened to recently ❤

While it was a silly mistake on her part. The fact that she was able to survive and keep clam is also astounding.

I ALWAYS BRING WATER AND FOOD with on any hike, a jscket and msje sure my footgear is eorthy if whete I'm going. But now I'm too old to hike. I have arthritis in my knees badly! Enjoy this sport whike you are young!

The Bob is out my back door. I always tell anyone who plans a hike, even a short one; never walk alone. I cried for this happy ending.

If there was snow on the ground, whey didn't she just follow her foot marks back??

My Goal is not to go hiking EVER!!!

Maybe eating unsalted sunflower seeds while hiking is the solution? So it leaves a little trail of shells behind you to be followed incase you get lost? 🤔

There is a distinct possibility that the dog (Mogie) was somewhat of a deterrent for the grizzly bears. I recall the part where a grizzly bear walked in Madeline's tracks. It obviously could smell the dog as well as the woman. The Grizzly prints prove that there were grizzlies in the area. The grizzlies may have been well fed, and not ready to try to attack a human with a dog. I think that Mogie may have saved Madeline's life, and I also give credit to Madeline's self control, good spirits, and persistence. Hooray for both of them!!

She's lucky she didn't encounter any Peggies. Montana has a Cult problem.

I've been binging your videos for a day or so now, and I'm SO happy to find one with a happy ending!
Ordering myself a day hike backpack, putting the ten essentials in there 😅

I was really gonna say “magic spoon sponsoring a video about a girl getting ate by a bear is kinda wild”

The happy stories are always great! She may have saved her own life by having a good attitude. Once lost for a week, most people might just give up, lay down & pass away. Attitude is almost everything!

First Rule, The second you realize you are lost. Stay put. The more you travel the harder it is to find you

Another great report, and it is uplifting. However, even your "grimmer" tales serve as cautionary and edifying stories.
Talking you up to friends, and getting the word out. Thanks for what you do.

She and her dog survived,awesome

Girl gets eaten by bears, speaking of bears, are you hungry like a bear? Then try our sponsor, Magic Spoon!!

People older than her have made worse mistakes

I'm glad she is alright and I am sure she will use what she has learned from her journey not to make those same mistakes again. I used to hike and backpack in Michigan's upper peninsula and thoroughly enjoyed those days. I knew the wildlife and the flora in the area and was always careful. I would know very little about the area she was in so wouldn't go without someone familiar with the area and well supplied. Living in south Florida now I have next to no knowledge of the flora and fauna down here so do not go hiking in anything but small local parks. Wish I could but not taking foolish chances considering the wide variety of dangerous animals and plants here. The alligators are the least of my worries.

How much did the search and rescue operations cost, and is she going to be held accountable?

Im so glad this one had a happy ending! I can't even sleep in my bedroom in the dark i can't imagine sleeping in the wilderness where there are grizzlies with no shelter, equipment, or protection... 😬

How did she survive for a week? Did she have supplies? Her gear was found in her car.

Everyone makes mistakes. I'm glad her and Mogi survived.

Happy ending stories are nice to hear🙏

It could happen to anyone, it's just great to hear about a happy ending for a change. I'm delighted for her and her wee dog! Keep Your Feet On The Ground And Keep Reaching For The Stars ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Thanks for the advice 🙏 I'll never go outside again

I never go on any hike without a camelbak of wayer, lighter, compass, some food, my phone, ID, basic first aid supplies, and a knife. The setup weighs basically nothing and is critically important.

Glad this turned out well for her, could have been tragic. Basic land navigation skills using a compass and map should be required for backcountry hiking. Know how to shoot a back azimuth with a compass and map and you’re never lost.

What a blessing of story. She kept her sense and survived. Bless her.

I would have eaten the dog

This is why you don’t just stay put when lost, get out there and get looking

Great job on the video and it was great that her and the dog were found safe. 👍

She took full responsibility and understood her mistakes... that definitely deserves respect. Not letting the rescuers fly her out would have been a real slap in the face to people who'd been risking their lives searching for her in prime grizzly bear country, so while I can appreciate her desire to hike out under her own power, I'm glad she accepted their help. I FULLY thought at that point of the video she was going to decline their help, hike the last couple of miles back to her car alone, and be killed and eaten by a grizzly bear before she got there!!!! Surely I'm not the only person who thought that... some of you out there thought it would end that way too, didn't you?!?!? 🤔😂

She looks amazingly good for being out there in May for a week then miraculously finds herself where she started. I’m not buying of her story.

I’m thankful she made it, truly with all my heart. She made that choice on her own, her dog did not therefore putting her dogs life at risk too. For that, she loses some respect from me. Sorry

Well She bad some gear at least She had her dog

This one just sounds like gross incompetence on her part lmfao

🎉🎉🎉wahay finally a happy ending, when you said bits of muscle where found my heart ❤️ literally sank 😢so glad she made it out👍oh I'm a uk watcher kyle from Manchester

Poor dog.
