I lived in the arctic tundra for a few years. There is no surviving a polar bear. I saw the aftermath of a poor man who was mauled while sleeping peacefully in his tent. There was skin, bones and scalp hanging off of this man's body and he was full of holes. He was still alive when they found him but he died after getting to the hospital.

Bears are a force of nature. A guy I know was out hunting, when a grizzly female saw him and charged at him right away. His luck was that he had just bought a Keltec KSG shotgun and he had taken it with him just to fool around… well, that Keltec saved his life, because he still had some slugs loaded in the second feeding tube, and when he saw the bear charging, he managed to switch the tubes and shoot the bear in the head point blank right as the bear was starting to maul him. He says that it was really a split second thing, and he still doesn’t remember if the bear hit him as he was shooting, a moment before or after, yet he knew that it was a miracle for him to be alive. What’s incredible is that, even after taking a slug to the face, the bear was STILL alive enough to try to run away about 10-15 feet, which means that most probably anything less than a slug would not have killed her… the guy was left with a couple of broken bones and some very noticeable, nasty scars on his face, left arm and chest (he said his jawbone and forearm bones were exposed), plus the feeling of having dodged death by the skin of his teeth.

Not that anyone will see this, but black bears actually come in multiple colors. A black bear can be brown, and a brown/grizzly bear can be black although it’s rare. They can even be white. The main indicator is a hump on their backs if they are a grizzly, if not and if it’s small it’s probably a black bear. If it’s a polar bear it doesn’t matter cause you will die.

My husband and I were hiking with our 2 dogs. We hear a commotion. 2 cubs going up a tree and a momma bear charging us. She locked eyes with me. We calmly backed up and I kept saying in a soothing voice "its ok, momma, we're going and she stopped and watched us back up till we were gone... this was in Idaho

They are not really "cute". It is just a bias from our inherent way of anthropomorphizing other species. We naturally identify to species, like bears, that have somewhat "humans features", like bipedia, their use of their paws as hands, and the profound intelligence in their eyes. Although, there is something special about bears, especially brown ones, and humans always had a very deep connection with this species, often called brothers of the mountain/forest.
"I love you....little b....baby" he said as his flesh was raked and his body turned into ribbons "I just....I just wanted....a hug". Flash forward 10 years and that bear has been at the bar, the same bar, the entire time. It's 2am and the bartender shouts for last call. "another whiskey Bennie" "sure thing Barry, you know you're my best customer" he slams it back and leaves the bartender a tip. "hey, see you tomorrow Barry" "yeah, yeah I'll see you" he says as he stumbles onto the cold street, brandishing a revolver, stumbling aimlessly. He looks down at the weapon for a second before uttering "yeah...I'll see you tomorrow...". The camera pans up and zooms out to see the small town as it goes to sleep. "...and all he wanted was a hug" *bang* Fade to black And that kids, is why you don't hug a bear that is actively mauling you to death.
You’re not going to fight off a grizzly bear. Playing dead is statistically speaking your best chance of survival. That’s universal survival advice people have heard since they were children because sometimes it actually works
I ran into a mountain Lion in Arizona at ten feet apart. Neither of us moved, or blinked for almost a minute. A Mexican stand off! Then he looked me up, and down like nothing to fear there. Then he slowly walked away, but kept his eye's on me🤯 He showed me mercy, and I never told hunter's where he lives that were cold blooded killers❤
Do not lay flat, roll up in the fetal position, lace your fingers together on yback of your neck, tucking your elbows in. Basically you make yourself into a little ball.
Grizzlies are freakishly fast. That video of that grizzly cause on night vision and the one of the mama grizzly gliding through a barbed wire fence to scare away a car full of people…🤯
I once encountered a black bear on my 15 mile hike in the woods. He was comin in hot and I damn near shit my pants at the high school dance. Then I remembered that I packed 2 tuna fish Sammy’s that I had in my ruck sack. I quickly retrieved one of ‘em and offered it to the big guy and to my surprise he took it from my hand and chowed ‘er down. Then he looked somewhat friendly so I gave him my other one. He ate that one too and just kinda looked at me like “thanks bro” and bounced. That’s my story on how to fuck up a free lunch…
Americans always talk about how scary Australia is but to me, encountering a bear would be so much more terrifying. There's no antidote to being ripped apart
"If I refuse to truly live, I can never truly die!" And "A boring life at least FEELS longer!" But hey, if you can be happy that way, who am I to judge? I just have a hard time believing anyone can be truly happy that way and I would hate for someone to play it safe out of fear and ending up stuck in a rut.
Yes and not. If the bear is hunting you it will eat you even if you play dead. If the bear is attacking you in self defence it will leave you if it doesn't see you as threat. However, even if you survive the attack you still need to look for medical attention which will be really hard in the middle of nowhere. I say the only way to survive is if you have a gun ready and even then you can still end up dead. That is one of the things that park ranger investigate after a bear attack. If they killed you in self-defence they will leave the bear alone. But if it killed you to eat you they are euthanize.
If you ever encounter a bear, here are some tips. Look at the color. If its black you have a chance. Black bear prefers to eat fruit over meat, and it is usually not very big. Your best bet is to fight back. If the bear is brown, he eats both meat and fruit, also brown bears are too big for any man to fight back, so you should either stay still or lay down. You can try to scare him away and that will also work if you are in a group of people and bear is not too hungry. If the bear is white you are out of luck. White bear eats meat for a living and he wont be scared even if you are in a group. Laying down or staying still wont help because he wants to eat you for your meat.
Bear spray is the best thing you can have. They are very sensitive to it. The average person is better off with spray than they are with a gun. Sincerely, someone who grew up in bear country.
A long time ago when my uncle was alive he used to talk to the bears and even approached them, pray for them and asked them to not harm the humans. The bear just stood up and walked away every time. After my aunt use to make offering in the in the mountains for the animals not to harm the humans which I believed it worked until she passed. Now we get bear attacks on humans on occasion which is sad. I miss my aunt!
@@ad6417 my uncle was a powerful medicine man way back in the day. Us natives have the most respect for the animals, they helped my people survive for thousands of years thanks to the animals and Timothy was invading on the Bears territory, which my uncle never did. We always respect wildlife territory. My uncle only approached them on the side of roads, he didn’t wander off in the woods looking for them and he passed away of old age so he lived a full life unlike Timothy.
@@HannahFaith69LMFAO, a bear wont "make it quick", it'll eat you alive, and it usually takes 10+ minutes for the person to die while the bear rips them apart
@@HannahFaith69 Literal lack of knowledge about animals. Bears don't end you before they devour you. They do it while you're conscious. Also with your opinion, I hope no man even helps you in a dire situation.
In old times we never went out alone and always had a spear with us. But since bears are becoming endangered and spears are out of fashion - I recommend bear spray. It's light, efficient and everyone (including the bear) live to see another day.
Solid concise advice, 10/10. One thing I'd add is Grizzly bears will avoid you if they hear you, you're in big trouble if you silently get near a mother Grizzlies cubs without her noticing you till you're close. So make regular noise if hiking in Grizzly territory. And yeah if it's a polar bear and you're alone, RIP. Otherwise, don't be the slowest.
Also, have a bottle of Coca Cola handy, in case you encounter a Polar Bear. 🐻❄️ And be sure it’s the classic Glass Bottle. They aren’t too fond of plastic…
Honestly I highly doubt I would have the balls to fall down and play dead while a giant ass bear comes over and starts nibbling on me to make sure I'm actually dead
Typically for “school” you weren’t taught the entire story. Sequence of events: 1.) Bear kills you, caches corpse. 2.) Bear returns, eats your ripened body. Feel better knowing the truth now?
@@Ichi-San-1501 Very nice indeed to go to a school where there are teachers-abusers who end each lesson with a phrase "feel any better now?" My daughter has some teachers like that. The whole class sits there mortified, afraid to utter a word, while the teacher abuses them verbally, making some students cry sometimes.
98% of persons using bear spray in close-range encounters escaped uninjured. The main thing is to take as much precaution as possible to protect yourself.
I have a 45 and hope I don't have to shoot anything with it. Mainly concerned about the 2 legged "bears" who see the equivalent of a "sandwich" walking their way where there's no cell service.

Don't go into the woods with your dogs, people. A forgotten step Low and behold. With just kindergarten-level grammar the comment has been rendered readable
@@MrMonzter0 I think the wind was going towards the bear. It smelled us, but my dog did not smell the bear. She only reacted when we were almost right on it.
If it's black, fight back, If it's brown, lie down, If it's white, say good night. This only applies when the bear is physically attacking you. Only use bear spray from a distance. At close range, it won't work and will provoke the bear. Bears don't hunt Humans as prey, don't provoke them, or their young. If you see a cub, move as far away as possible. Mama bear won't like you being near her cub.

Remember, grizzlies will eat anything including already dead animals. You’re not playing dead to convince it to not eat you, you’re playing dead to convince it that you’re not a threat
It knows you're not dead, it just doesn't care because you're being submissive.
" And how can i survive a Polar Bear? "
" Thats the funny part. You dont. "
😅It would be better to be armed or in a group facing a polar bear
Legit , that’s why when they brought the polar bear into it I was like yea none of that is working on him . Playing dead he will just appreciate while he is eating you alive 😂.
Nobody can survive me
An elephant gun usually works
Carry a 20 gauge with plenty of ammo. The bear may leave you alone only then.
What if he can't tell the gauge at first sight?

A bear won’t survive if it insists on the encounter … this is why most of them flee before you even saw them.
1- Stay in rural areas, with no too much people
2- Be sneaky
3- Look at their back, if you see a stick popping from their backs, turn back and choose another prey
My husband and I were hiking with our 2 dogs. We hear a commotion. 2 cubs going up a tree and a momma bear charging us. She locked eyes with me. We calmly backed up and I kept saying in a soothing voice "its ok, momma, we're going and she stopped and watched us back up till we were gone... this was in Idaho
Holy cow! I can't fathom the terror. Good job getting out of that alive. 🙏🏻

Can we talk about why bears are way cuter than they should be?
nature is curious
Because we’re cute
there's something both intelligent and childlike about a bear's face
@@MichaelAachen same with my fave, but oh no I’m hideous right? 😡
Edit: *face
They are not really "cute". It is just a bias from our inherent way of anthropomorphizing other species.
We naturally identify to species, like bears, that have somewhat "humans features", like bipedia, their use of their paws as hands, and the profound intelligence in their eyes.
Although, there is something special about bears, especially brown ones, and humans always had a very deep connection with this species, often called brothers of the mountain/forest.

Use the very last moments of your life to cuddle that forbidden floof.
"I love you....little b....baby" he said as his flesh was raked and his body turned into ribbons "I just....I just wanted....a hug". Flash forward 10 years and that bear has been at the bar, the same bar, the entire time. It's 2am and the bartender shouts for last call. "another whiskey Bennie" "sure thing Barry, you know you're my best customer" he slams it back and leaves the bartender a tip. "hey, see you tomorrow Barry" "yeah, yeah I'll see you" he says as he stumbles onto the cold street, brandishing a revolver, stumbling aimlessly. He looks down at the weapon for a second before uttering "yeah...I'll see you tomorrow...". The camera pans up and zooms out to see the small town as it goes to sleep. "...and all he wanted was a hug"

And that kids, is why you don't hug a bear that is actively mauling you to death.
Playing dead will make you dead
You’re not going to fight off a grizzly bear. Playing dead is statistically speaking your best chance of survival. That’s universal survival advice people have heard since they were children because sometimes it actually works
Fake it til you make it, I guess.
If it’s black..fight back.
If it’s brown..lay down.
It’s a saying as old as time and I trust our predecessors more than this world combined
@@saedrix9807 people just have a hard time accepting that your best chances of surviving a grizzly encounter still aren't very good.
I ran into a mountain Lion in Arizona at ten feet apart. Neither of us moved, or blinked for almost a minute. A Mexican stand off! Then he looked me up, and down like nothing to fear there. Then he slowly walked away, but kept his eye's on me🤯 He showed me mercy, and I never told hunter's where he lives that were cold blooded killers❤
Do not lay flat, roll up in the fetal position, lace your fingers together on yback of your neck, tucking your elbows in.
Basically you make yourself into a little ball.

Grizzlies are freakishly fast. That video of that grizzly cause on night vision and the one of the mama grizzly gliding through a barbed wire fence to scare away a car full of people…🤯
I once encountered a black bear on my 15 mile hike in the woods. He was comin in hot and I damn near shit my pants at the high school dance. Then I remembered that I packed 2 tuna fish Sammy’s that I had in my ruck sack. I quickly retrieved one of ‘em and offered it to the big guy and to my surprise he took it from my hand and chowed ‘er down. Then he looked somewhat friendly so I gave him my other one. He ate that one too and just kinda looked at me like “thanks bro” and bounced. That’s my story on how to fuck up a free lunch…
wow
If true that is very impressive and surprising.
The fish smell was probably the reason why he approached you
What did the high school dance have to do with any of this?
So, what are your med times?
First off, don't step out of the car to take a closer photo of the bear.
Never, ever, ever go into the back country without a magnum handgun. There are also 2 legged preditors there.
Or detroit

@@brreakfastYT Humans

A bear isn’t going to jumpscare you in your own toilet at 2 in the morning.
@@KaiLucasZachary even if you get jumpscared by a spider, it's pretty easy not to get bitten afterwards.

How’s about stay home!!! Yeah let’s go with that
"If I refuse to truly live, I can never truly die!"
And "A boring life at least FEELS longer!"
But hey, if you can be happy that way, who am I to judge? I just have a hard time believing anyone can be truly happy that way and I would hate for someone to play it safe out of fear and ending up stuck in a rut.
Never pretend to be dead when you see bear - it will kill you - pretending dead is like bon apetit to bear.
Yes and not. If the bear is hunting you it will eat you even if you play dead. If the bear is attacking you in self defence it will leave you if it doesn't see you as threat. However, even if you survive the attack you still need to look for medical attention which will be really hard in the middle of nowhere. I say the only way to survive is if you have a gun ready and even then you can still end up dead. That is one of the things that park ranger investigate after a bear attack. If they killed you in self-defence they will leave the bear alone. But if it killed you to eat you they are euthanize.
@@WhoAREyou-22iv damn 🥶
If you ever encounter a bear, here are some tips.
Look at the color. If its black you have a chance. Black bear prefers to eat fruit over meat, and it is usually not very big. Your best bet is to fight back.
If the bear is brown, he eats both meat and fruit, also brown bears are too big for any man to fight back, so you should either stay still or lay down. You can try to scare him away and that will also work if you are in a group of people and bear is not too hungry.
If the bear is white you are out of luck. White bear eats meat for a living and he wont be scared even if you are in a group. Laying down or staying still wont help because he wants to eat you for your meat.
Bears are badass 😎
If there are 2 of you, stay calm, back away slowly, push your friend forward, then run.
I tried that, but the bear just watched as me and my friend had a fight to the death.
Bear spray is a joke to a determined hungry bear
I think you’ll really piss him off
As demonstrated at the end of this video, where the bear just waves his paw until he can see more clearly to eat the man.
having bear mace spray is better than nothing in your backpacks...
Bear spray is the best thing you can have. They are very sensitive to it. The average person is better off with spray than they are with a gun.
Sincerely, someone who grew up in bear country.
Average people are also idiots.
A long time ago when my uncle was alive he used to talk to the bears and even approached them, pray for them and asked them to not harm the humans. The bear just stood up and walked away every time. After my aunt use to make offering in the in the mountains for the animals not to harm the humans which I believed it worked until she passed. Now we get bear attacks on humans on occasion which is sad. I miss my aunt!
Timothy Treadwell used to do the same thing.
@@ad6417 my uncle was a powerful medicine man way back in the day. Us natives have the most respect for the animals, they helped my people survive for thousands of years thanks to the animals and Timothy was invading on the Bears territory, which my uncle never did. We always respect wildlife territory. My uncle only approached them on the side of roads, he didn’t wander off in the woods looking for them and he passed away of old age so he lived a full life unlike Timothy.
That's when you pull out the Gatling gun and get yourself a new fur coat
not if you live in a country where they prefer you get ripped apart rather than hand you a gun

Gross.
@@thirstyd0g the best way to survive a bear attack is by simply killing the bear instead of it killing you

Yes, that's true. I would seriously. At least they're not known for being sadistic. If they want to hurt you they'll do it quickly.😊
@@HannahFaith69LMFAO, a bear wont "make it quick", it'll eat you alive, and it usually takes 10+ minutes for the person to die while the bear rips them apart
@@HannahFaith69 Literal lack of knowledge about animals. Bears don't end you before they devour you. They do it while you're conscious. Also with your opinion, I hope no man even helps you in a dire situation.

Black bear: Fight for your life.
Polar bear: You’re dinner.

Note there's no advice for what to do with a polar bear, because frankly, you're already dead.
Black bears are MUCH bigger than that. Canadian male black bears are massive. 400lbs 7 feet tall

If a bear attacks, wait patiently for the nearest social worker to calm the bear and soothe it's tender feelings.

In old times we never went out alone and always had a spear with us.
But since bears are becoming endangered and spears are out of fashion - I recommend bear spray.
It's light, efficient and everyone (including the bear) live to see another day.
That's a fat bear towards the end. I'm sure he knows the best salmon fishing spots and fullest trash cans!
Solid concise advice, 10/10.
One thing I'd add is Grizzly bears will avoid you if they hear you, you're in big trouble if you silently get near a mother Grizzlies cubs without her noticing you till you're close. So make regular noise if hiking in Grizzly territory.
And yeah if it's a polar bear and you're alone, RIP.
Otherwise, don't be the slowest.

Most guns will just piss the bear off. Then he'll have to kill you out of principle.
@@waltlock8805bears are made of the same meat and bones that you are made of. Even a 9mm will do. Bigger calibers are more preferable of course
People have been found dead next to the bear that they shot. A bear can kill someone before they die of the gunshot.
@@TheTakedown2024 any animal can do that. Even humans. It depends on where you land the shot
Don't go where bears live. Stay out of his home.

I love bear facts thank you so much
Do not play dead, the bear will begin eating you….do what the ancients did and find a large stick and try and keep distance aiming for the eyes
That sounds like solid advice, as going for the eyes is rule number one for self defense against other humans too.
