Special advertisement
$35-177


Hey Bear is more than just a retail store— it’s an educational bear safety platform. We believe that living with bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is a privilege. To protect ourselves and the wildlife we share a home with, Hey Bear, named for the phrase hikers often shout to scare bruins away before an adverse confrontation, aims to educate and inspire recreationists about how to coexist with bears in bear country, and also works with local organizations to give back to nonprofits that provide for conservation efforts.
To support Hey Bear and our mission, we produce high-quality, sustainable and functional outdoors products for you. Here’s what we recommend for the outdoorsman and women and conservation-focused friends and family in your life this holiday season.
Hey Bear Beanie, $35
Stay toasty this winter with a colorful Hey Bear beanie.
Hey Bear Mizu Camper Mug, $38
Whether it’s filled with warm coffee, a cider or a hot toddy, the Hey Bear Mizu Camper Mug will keep your favorite adventure beverage toasty.
Hey Bear Cotopaxi Backpack, $95
Whether skinning up a snowy mountain or out on your next hike, this colorful Cotopaxi backpack will keep your belongings safe and dry in a stylish pack during your next venture.
Hey Bear Vest, $177
A new Hey Bear addition, this lightly insulated, core-warming vest combines recycled polyester insulation and repurposed taffeta for reversible and convenient color-blocked protection. An elastic-lined hood keeps your head warm, and dual pockets keep your hands toasty.
The next time you’re out in bear country, remember these tips to keep yourself and the bears safe.
Being responsible in bear country


- Hike in groups of three or more.
- Make noise. We recommend yelling “Hey Bear!”
- Store food properly when hiking and camping.
- Carry bear spray, keep it within reach, and know how to use it.
- Take a bear safety class with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
- If you see a bear from afar, stay 100 yards away.
- If you encounter a bear and it moves toward you, move slowly away and speak to it in low tones.
- If a black bear charges, hold your ground and fight back.
- If a grizzly charges, lay flat on your stomach, protecting your neck and head with your arms and do not move.
- Never run from a bear.

50 Ousel Falls Road
Join us for FREE music from North Fork Crossing at the Waypoint!
Founded in early 2021, North Fork Crossing has quickly made their presence known all around Montana. Most notably in the beautiful Gallatin Valley where they live. In a little over a year they have been able to grow their audience to a wide range of listeners – consisting of traditional bluegrass lovers to die hard jam band enthusiasts.
Composed of 5 young multi-instrumentalists, North Fork Crossing can do it all. Their genre resides somewhere in a strange untapped musical realm between Traditional Bluegrass, Psychedelic Rock, Americana, and Folk. The quintet – Cade Slayden (guitar), Ryan Kelly (mandolin), Rabi Phelan (upright bass), Silas Rea (fiddle), and Matt Hickey (banjo) are drawn to having Bluegrass reach a new younger generation of people, priding themselves on their unique sound being the “evolution of string band music”
North Fork Crossing has just recently finished writing an album – which they are now in the process of recording, and look forward to releasing into the world. In the meantime, they have no shortage of shows for you to enjoy all around the state. So whether you’re a Traditional Bluegrass fanatic, or a Psychedelic Rock aficionado, North Fork Crossing blends it all (with something a little extra) for a fast paced, high energy show that all music lovers will enjoy!
