<VIDEO> Breaking Trail - Phantom of the Wilderness
9 years ago
Coyote Peterson has finally uploaded his wolverine encounter to Youtube. Filmed in conjunction with Steve Kroschel of Haines Alaska, the video gets Coyote up close and personal with one of Steve Kroschel's wolverines. Mr. Kroschel's wolverines have been seen in Running Free, Wolverine: Chasing the Phantom, Wolverine King and other Alaska-based movies and documentaries. The man has also suggested that wolverines would be great for avalanche search and rescue (I have commented on that here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7474128 ).
It's not a terrible video, but I would have preferred more of the wolverines and less of Steve. I was also unimpressed with the ending, as the wolverine WAS NOT getting aggressive or possessive, but was instead becoming playful. I don't feel that this animal, as a trained pet, posed any real danger to Coyote, despite it coming off that way on camera due to Steve's dialogue. Honestly, I cannot help but wonder if ending was on purpose just to create shock value.
Coyote supposedly wanted to film wolverines in the wild and called this encounter a "plan B," which I am not so sure that I buy. If Coyote really wanted to go through with his "plan A" of finding wolverines in the wild, he could have contacted The Wolverine Foundation. This group specializes in the study, tracking and tagging of wild wolverines and although he likely wouldn't have gotten the same encounter, to me at least, it would have been more of an adventure and the foundation would have provided us with better information. Perhaps he did contact the Foundation, I have no way of knowing, but I have personally interacted with both Steve Kroschel and The Wolverine Foundation via email and being blunt, the information provided by the Foundation was superior... considerably. The information I got from Steve, was not only juvenile in the way it was presented, but also bogus.
I have been a fan of Breaking Trail and Brave Wilderness for two years, but although this twenty-nine minute video contains some nice wolverine footage, I was left disappointed, as the video was significantly lacking in data about wolverines as a species and spent more time showing of the eccentric nature of Mr. Kroschel. In my opinion, this is not what of Coyote's better videos and I personally feel that I could have provided more facts and made a better video.
