Seal River is on the western side of Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada. It is the place for polar bears in the summertime, and about a zillion beluga whales. Seal River Lodge takes only about a dozen people in a family environment. The hospitality and friendliess are memorable, the food is astonishing, and the experience is life-changing. If you love wilderness and you have good camera gear and you want a rare experience, go. Tell 'em I sent you. My pix are all RAW and then processed down to small JPGs for SmugMug. Hope they don't disappoint.
This is Mike Reimer's "working" belt. Sheath knife, Leatherman multi tool and a "bear repellant" spray. Other people use the super modern shotgun, but Mike likes his old reliable single shot. A few days before we arrived, he met a bear out near the machinery shed. Dakota the Labrador barked, others in the lodge came out and started yelling and Mike picked up a fist-sized rock and threw it at the bear's nose. Fortunately, the bear just dropped to all fours and left.
