Dear Joe and Chris,
Just finished watching part one and two of Bears of the Last Frontier, let me tell you that I liked it so much I just purchased it!
I want to thank you for creating a beautiful and informative show, for frankly bears always scared me a bit. I think now that I can understand how to be a little safer when camping in bear habitats near me, like Algonquin Park and the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada.
What is your next project and where will you be filming? Can’t wait to see it!
Cheers,
Carmen

I am an avid watcher of all the nature shows on channel 13, and brown bears have always been amoung my favorite. I am looking at the program at this moment, and I was a bit shocked when I heard Chris Morgan mention that his companion filmmaker’s name was Joe Pontecorvo. I believe that the e in my name was accidentally changed when my grandfather came to America in the early 1900’s. It’s a thrill to know that there is another Joe out there doing what I have often dreamed of doing.

My husband and I just watched your wonderful program, City of Bears. I couldn’t t tell from the map where you filmed. Were you near Homer or Kenai, or on the land south of Sleeping Lady? Thank you, susan

Hi Chris & Joe,
First – Joe excellent job on the camera end of things! :0)
Chris – my question is for you… recently I saw that several large bear fossils were recovered in a large find in North America. The bears were much larger, but are they truly extinct, or have bears just evolved by necessity into the smaller, smarter, more resourceful bears of modern times?

Congrats on the best bear films i have ever seen!

I have two questions: I’m sure you have a lot of great bear stories, but is there one in which you thought your life was in danger?

Reading other Q&A’s, i see that you carry pepper spray. Do you also carry a firearm?

Hello Chris & Joe.

Really loving the series. The locations, the quality of the camerawork and editing, and the passion for these amazing animals is simply inspiring.

I apologize in advance if you’ve already addressed this, but is that a Honda Transalp you are riding? I notice you carry extra tires and assume you have lots of spare parts and tools on board – did you have any mechanical issues that made you wish you had just left the bike at home?

Cheers!

Hi Chris and Joe,

Just loved your programs on the bears. Polar bears have always been my favorite. I am a professor of statistical genetics and am particularly interested in the genomes of the various bear species. I am sure you are aware of the recent information indicating cross-breeding among polars and brown bears. Does this breeding suggest extinction of the polar bear in the near future? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much.

Thoroughly enjoyed all three shows. I’d like to ask about the gear you wore. You looked completely comfortable in the rain, and your jacket for the cold looked lightweight and you were able to manuver quite easily. What company makes your outer wear? Thanks Chris and Joe.
