Chuck has been working on bear avoidance and wildlife stewardship issues since 1976 when he retired from car racing.  He put a special effort into monitoring the research and development of bear spray at the University of Montana in the mid 1980s and efforts to market the first bear spray.  This included working with biologists and naturalists to determine the effectiveness of the new product called bear spray and its ability to protect people and bears.  Since then we have continued to research bear encounters and maulings to determine the causes involved with each.

David and Tania started the YouTube channel, Texas Family Camping to promote families getting outside, together.  They understand all the struggles involved from how to book a campsite to what to pack, to how to start a fire.  Their YouTube channel covers a wide variety of camping subjects from showing some of the best campsites to how to prepare a truck to pull an RV.  They have 2 daughters and a German shepherd that they take camping and they enjoy documenting the fun had along the way. They even have been camping in their RV at some rest areas to document how that works, and show the best ones to stop at for the night.
