  • @NiSiochainGanSaoirse

    I recently read a story in a comments section of another video about Bears.
    A guy went to Glacier national park in Alaska, and during a hike whilst they were in Glacier, they bumped into a ranger.
    The park ranger warned the guy that there are bears around and there was an attack recently so suggested the we people stayed alert.
    The ranger asked the guy if he had a sidearm as well as his rifle.
    The guy said “no. We’re not allowed to carry them in the park so I don’t.”
    The ranger looked at the guy like he just sprouted a second head!
    “I know we’re not _supposed_ to, but when you’re in bear territory you better have a sidearm with you just in case.”
    The guy said he had two in the car, and the ranger suggested he went and retrieved them, and not to worry about the sidearms rules because everyone on the park staff carry sidearms and it would be wise to do so the same.”
    It goes to show you, sometimes rules can be implemented with honourable intentions, but in reality they cause more problems than they solve.
    If a bear jumps out at you and you don’t have time to get your rifle up, or if the bears too close to you for your rifle to be any practical help, a sidearm gives you an extra level of protection, and is also far more versatile than a rifle.
    I’d always carry a pistol on my hip in bear territory

      I've been fishing by myself in Grizzly country since I got my drivers license (am almost 40). I carry Bear spray and make tons of noise. Also, statistically speaking bear spray is more effective than guns. I don't think you're aware of how fast these guys are. Check out the book 'Bear Attacks, their causes and avoidances' by Stephen Herrero. It's really a great resource.

      To Bigfoot Forest..... I used a Sony hand held video camera to film this beast. When the boar was behind us, my thoughts turned to how to survive a bone crunching bite. Nothing could have prepared us for the smell and seeing fish parts in and around his teeth. My protection was a flimsy umbrella that I hid behind until he chose to ramble away. Great choice, huh? On our trip back to Homer, most were very quite and the guide was speechless, saying first time at Katmai that a bear approached a group so close! He did have a WHISTLE to distract a possible bear attack. Great choice.....

      Hi Grant. Just saw your comment flashed on my screen..... I quit filming when the bear was directly behind me. I fell into a fetal position and waited to see if I was going to be his lunch. A minute or 2 later he was behind our group rubbing his back on a tree. He waltzed away and moved behind more bushes. We left the river immediately and double timed it back to the skiff for our return to the airplane. Here is a video of the brown bear getting his backrub after the charge. ruclips.net/video/idOrQ0ad0cM/видео.html Appreciate your interest in the tape!

    I seen this video a year ago or more. I might know why he did that odd about face run! earlier in the day or the prior he must have discovered a wasp nest or bee hive. it's common in the area. explains his creeping up to the brush and also looking back several times after he distanced himself. and if a large male bear scents a human like he did he should be considered a bear to be cautious of.

      Obviously there's no wasp nest or larger bear that presented itself. So with how intelligent brown bears/grizzly bears are. I think this was a rare case of a instigating move on the sneaky bears part. I think he was trying to prevoke panic or someone to run. And people remaining calm was epic intelligence that was rewarding in that nobody got attacked. Just my opinion. Sneaky bear.

      Yo Slicktop. I'm happy to say, we didn't see the surprise from behind the bush! I would have passed out!

    Why, why, taking unnecessary chances and aggravating this bear.

      Hi Eric. I think aggravating is the wrong word. It's more like admire! You only live once..... You would do it too, given the chance.

      Karsten. Funny now that you say it! At the time, we felt oblivious to what could happen, but the bears were only concentrating on eating the salmon. Then this happened.......

    What hides in the bushes, shakes the leaves (which can clearly be seen) and causes a skinny ( still 300-400 pound...and skinny means hungry) Brown Bear to run for it's life? And then the Bear is not even paying attention to the yahoo's with cameras! Second question; Did any of them survive?

    • @lng2519
      @lng2519  3 года назад

      To American..... We did survive. Our pre-trip class said nothing of close encounters. Right before the run. ruclips.net/video/uvOgBDP6qUo/видео.html

      ​@@lng2519 Dear Mr. Happy, I was being rhetorical, ( (of a question) asked in order to produce an effect or to make a statement rather than to elicit information ). But I am glad you survived! I was worried because I did not want to see another video where a skinny/very hungry Grizzly Bear got within feet of a bunch of peanut brain Disney fans and started the process of slicing and gutting it's next meal! You can hear the audio recording of Grizzly Man: Timothy Treadwell Being Eaten Alive By A Bear on youtube as an example. The amazing thing is that you probably don't know that you had 2 close encounters on your ill-guided trip, ( ill-guided because no one is allowed to take sight seers to within feet of a hungry Grizzly Bear...illegal in fact...It's up to you to start legal proceedings against the stupid guides)! The second encounter was when you where inadvertently saved by the Abominable creature in the bushes! It scared the Bear in your video so badly that the bear went into another world in it's mind! It's eyes tell an encyclopedia of information! It's mannerism's, of repeatedly looking over it's shoulders back at where the creature in the bushes warned it away tell an amazing story! If your guides say that it was scared off by another bear in the bushes then they illegally endangered you by putting you close to 2 Large Grizzly's! Of course the actions of the Bear that ran away describe a different creature. Here is a place to start learning about your encounter, "Steve Isdal's youtube channel called "factsbyhowtohunt"!

      Hello Chuck. Finally someone that saw the beauty in "the beast! " Thanks for noticing the awe of a wild brown bear in the bush.

    Gotta wonder if that bear smelled or saw a Sasquatch and is why he ran balls deep towards you.
    Great footage.

      Very true. I'm glad to hear you do have the knowledge that the Sasquatch is a real,living animal. A lot like us but a few percentage points away from us in the DNA catagory

      Hello chenpen. Thanks for the look at our video. The bear ran up to us so fast, we didn't really have time to freak out! We had seen over 40 bears before this, so it was not very unusual, until the brown bear ran towards us!
