Welcome back to Scary Bear Attacks! Today’s episode takes us to the rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain in Central California. The Sierra Nevada’s are one of the highest and most prestigious mountain ranges in the world and serve as the spine of California running from the Mexican border all the way to around the Oregon border. The giant granite peaks seem to touch the sky and host hundreds of miles of largely uninterrupted fur and pine forests. At the time of our incident there were no highways crossing the high mountain passes and assistance was often too far away to help.
John Adams was born in 1812 in Medway, Massachusetts and made his way to California when he was 37 years old after his shoe business failed due to fire. He left his family and made his way to the wilds of California to become a trapper, miner and hunter. Having nearly died from 2 illnesses during his trek he arrived in California in mid December.
He utilized his knowledge gained as an animal trainer and hunter in New England to make his own buckskins, moccasins, harness, saddles and snowshoes and with help from the Miwok Indians built a cabin and stable to winter over.
In 1853 he navigated around 1200 miles on one of his hunting and trapping expeditions clear up to the eastern portion of the Washington Territory. While out on an excursion he discovered a female yearling cub and quickly caught her. He moonlighted as an animal trainer and would sometimes catch animals and sell them to circuses or other menageries. He named her Lady Washington. Incredibly he eventually tamed Lady Washington and she became his constant sidekick. He even rode on her back and she cuddled him in freezing conditions keeping him warm. Later on, Lady Washington would have a tryst in the Rocky Mountains and have a cub Adams would name General Freemont.
A year later Grizzly, as he came to be known, pulled two 2 week old cubs from a grizzly sows den while she hibernated in the Yosemite Valley. He raised the cubs himself and one of them stuck around long enough to be named Ben, after Benjamin Franklin. Adams and Ben were quickly inseparable and Ben would follow Adamas anywhere he went.
The odd couple were once traveling through the Sierra Nevadas and came across a sow with three cubs. This sow was first of all offended that there was a man nearby, and compounding her offense, a boar bear to boot. The sow rushed Adams and quickly swatted his rifle out of his hands, with her left paw, before he had a chance to fire. Then with her right paw knocked him flailing landing face down. She then dug her huge canines into the flesh on his back and tore flesh, buckskin and flannel shirt from his body. Just in the nick of time, the yearling Ben, joined the fight and chomped onto her haunches. She spun around and dug her teeth into Ben's skull, blinding him in one of his eyes. Then she used her paws to crush him into the ground, while she brutally bit into his shoulder to lift him off the ground and shake him violently back and forth. The wounded Adams had the luxury of watching the two bears square off but the heartbreak of watching his best friend Ben be wounded and beaten. By then the man had gathered himself enough to lift his rifle and drive a bullet home through the sow's heart, stopping the brutality for once and for all. Ben healled eventually and the two continued on with their life in the woods. The record does not indicate what became of her three cubs but I assume Adams merged them into his menagere.
A few months later, Adams and Ben were ambushed again and this time the bear got to Adams before Ben could stop the violence. The bear surprised Adams as he rounded a bend in the trail and quickly slapped him upside his head, knocking him down and gashing his scalp. Then the bear began tearing his scalp from his head while punching a hole in his skull the size of a silver dollar. The attack was over as quickly as it started as the large bear departed leaving Adams temporarily incapacitated and Ben completely confused.

Sadly, Grizzly Adams only felt the need to reunite with his family when he could feel his body shutting down.
I noticed that, also.
Dusty
He lived with a hole in his head!? They don't make em like him anymore!
He had been accused of a murder he didn't commit, which is why he left his family in the first place... according to my 7 yr old memory of the Wednesday night show! lol
@@magnanimousmatt6425 but that was made up for the show. The real Adams just got an urge to go west after a business failure and the death of his father. He left his wife and kids for over a decade.
I grew up watching that show, and had no idea it was based in reality. Thank you.
Me too!
I was totally in love with this whole television show as a child and I have to say learning how careless he was was really a let down. Sometimes it’s better not knowing the whole story about your childhood hero’s. Btw new subscriber , love your channel and looking forward to more videos.
Thank you and please take care!

Avoid monkey bites to the brain.
🤣 whenever possible
I love this. My dad watched this and Jeremiah Johnson, and promptly moved us, his family 12 miles into the mountains. We had baby elk, deer, skunks, porcupines, raccoons, and a wolf, the most tremendously intelligent animal, and so kind, for 13 years. We had cougar, (young kits, just leaving mom) and two, one year old bear cubs that my dad drew the line at, following us as we played in the timber. It was the world's best childhood ever! Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, I was unaware that there was any truth behind the grizzly Adam's series! Thanks again!
Great story Angie! What a wonderful childhood.
My pleasure!
Cougar kittens stay with their mothers for close to 2 years, so if you had young kittens they were either orphaned or abandoned.
Hi, I lived a similar life. Most people don't get it. I've always had a wolf. (Not presently @ the moment). People happen to just drop off wild animals with me. Too many species to name. I attempt to rehabilitate, no license. I feel bad for the mother bear in this story. She only tried to protect her babies. As I'm sure you know, a male will kill cubs to mate. Sows know that. If people are going to do what we have done, they should be educated & be prepared to except the consequences. Thank you for sharing.
Watching Grizzly Adams as a kid I was never made aware of the back story. As always, thank you for brining these facts to life. Best channel ever!
Thank you my friend!
Same here. I loved this show when I was young. I had no idea it was based on a true story until now.
@@scottbubb2946 neither did I.
Stealing bear cubs during hibernation is so disrespectful! I wouldn't call his relationship with the bears "friendship" it seems they were just his entertainment.
Great video as always ❤️
I agree and understand! Thank you! 😊
That part of his life is worrisome, his fascination with all animals is disturbing
Came here to say this. It was the 1800s and people were different back then. But to us in this day and age this guy was a complete dick and animal abuser. Poor Ben wouldn’t have suffered so much fighting other bears if this selfish man hadn’t made him his companion.
What’s worse is shooting mothers and cubs while hibernating. Thanks to the good ol’ GOP.
@Jean Angel ''fascination with all animals'' is also the hallmark of Sir David Attenborough, who has done so much to alert us to the beauty of our planet and its denizens.
Awesome story… thanks buddy…
You got it my friend! Take care!
An amazing story of survival and perseverance. People back then just got things done. This man lived an incredible life.
Another great video buddy... Thank you
Thank you my friend!
I was really young when this show came on but my mom and grandma used to watch it and so did I. I never knew this was based on a true story. Thank you for this.
Thank you as well!
Humans are harmful to bears, as evidenced by the theft of the two young cubs from their hibernating mother. This is a fascinating tale, and you told it beautifully. Thank you.
I mean, I think bears are much happier in captivity as long as they are cared for properly. People act like animals enjoy struggling to survive and dying long before their natural lifespan wears out. If you must mingle with large predators it's better to do so by taming them and keeping them captive. The problem comes in when your urge to love on bears and pumas leads you to feed the wild ones and go to parks where they are trained to not fear humans while still able to roam free.
Bears are harmful to humans as well.
@@angelmartin7310 so you would be happier in jail then, right? You would get meals, have a roof over your head, not have to work or struggle, so it's perfect right? Why aren't you in jail? Ohhhh because it's actually much better to be free and able to do all the things you want to do. Animals are the same, I'm sure.
@@awright119021 Do I live in the wild constantly fleeing poachers and facing starvation? No, I live in a house with food readily available and people/animals I love. Kind of like these big cats living with the only family they've ever had. I just watched a tigress who escaped her home in Texas willingly enter a truck once her owner came to get her. She could have ran in any direction but she saw him and chose to get in his truck and go HOME.
@@angelmartin7310 You’re anthropomorphizing. You don’t know what the animal wants. You’re trying to justify animal captivity because of your human emotions. It comes down to a dependency on food and then they are essentially domesticated.
Stealing cubs from a mother’s den is beyond the pale. How could you do that to a mother bear? A lot of these old naturalists were horrible to animals and birds such as Audubon.
I am seriously interested as to how he is catching these bears alive. He seriously went into a den during hibernation and grabbed them???? That is INSANE
very dangerous, even in hibernation. Don't go getting any ideas, now
😅
I’m 50..I used to watch the tv show grizzly adams when I was a kid..loved it! Thank you for the whole story.. very interesting indeed 🤔
I not a fan of him shooting the mothers or just straight up abducting bear cubs while there in hibernation and selling animals to circuses, having said that he did live an crazy and wild life, but you play with fire you will get burned to some degree. Also people can’t co-habitat with Bears, two alpha predators in one area never work together they fight and kill each other a lot though
I know what you mean completely my friend! Different times and different mentalities :) take care OK
Do you boycott zoos. Do you walk through yellowstone?
@@angieheitz5466 no I don’t boycott zoo’s and I have been to national reserves and parks but not Yellowstone and I don’t boycott them either, I’m sorry you didn’t like my opinion but the guy took Bear cubs and wild animals so he could have his own zoo and got mauled by a bear and left a open headed wound with brain tissue exposed and got bit in the brain by a monkey and died 5 days later not seeking medical attention, like a said you play with fire, you’re gonna get burned. Take care Angie
I NEVER get tired hearing this story! I loved watching Grizzly Adams in the early-mid 80’s while in Re-Runs and then the Movies. I still remember finding out it was based on a true story!🤯 I had Grizzly Adams Lunchbox the old metal lunch boxes with plastic thurmas!
Yup me too!
What a bad guy.
🥺 wow what a interesting story. I remember the TV series being shown over here in the UK, I loved it, and after that I wanted to visit American, I managed it when I was 38 yrs old, I visited a friend who married a us service man, who lived in California twice, then I had a cruise around Alaska, sadly I haven't been able to go back, because there was I lot more I want to see. May John rest in peace, 🙏 another great video thanks 🖤
Thank you and come back!
Come on back. America has a lot to see. It's a huge country.
That’s so neat about the bear being depicted on the CA flag.
Pretty cool huh :)
Wow...I never knew grizzly Adams is actually a true story...I still believe, even considering the hardships people faced everyday, I'd much rather lived a much simpler(even though I am sure triple the work) back 100 years or more ago)
I agree
I remember Grizzly Adams, vividly, as I was a huge fan of the show when I was a boy. I recall that he had an indian friend, who reminded me of Tonto, from the Lone Ranger series. Although I do not believe that Adams proved that man and bears can live simoutionusly in habitat, I feel that he brought great awareness to bears and all other wildlife. He was his generations version of Steve Irwin. I loved them both and I loved this story. I was unaware of his head injury. I don't recall it from the movie that portrayed his life, but he had a horrible leg wound instead. In the movie he set the broken leg between two rocks and scraped the meat from his calf for a meal which he then shared with Ben. Did you see that movie?
No. I don't remember the movie but used to watch the series all the time!
The Indian friend was Nacoma or Tacoma or something like that. I think, lol. I used to watch it Sunday nights religiously hungover from the weekend and getting depressed by the minute bc I knew the next day I'd have to start another 40hr+ work week.
I remember that show! As for being harmful, I would expect it to be a mixed bag. He got a really close shave a couple of times and they got fed on the regular. Some of the zoos back then were pretty hinky though.
Good points!
Very interesting episode. The Sierra Nevada has been my stomping grounds my whole life, and I've been familiar with John Adams name but I never knew the story! Amazing! Personally I'm very glad the Sierra no longer has Grizzlies and they've apparently decided against reintroducing them. However, there's an abundance of black bears, especially any place where there's car camping. I've had them sniffing around my tent at night and I don't particularly like it when it happens. I do enjoy seeing bears but I always practice domineering behavior to reinforce to them that when they see a human they better go. Helps them and me.
Black bears are natural maneaters. That " Dominance" crap got Tredwell & Amy eatin alive. Youd be wise to quit thinking you have it cased because you DONT. Tent camping in bear country isnt too smart either. Once theyre bigger than you, your fair game to them. Even smaller desperate bears can/ will kill you. Eventually you will run into one in predatory mode. Mace just angers them more. BIG BORE handgun at the least. Short bbl shotgun with bear slugs preferred. Dont let your run of luck be your guide or you might be next on this channel.
Great story I'm 55 but when I was a kid it was one of my favorite shows
Me too!
Wow, I used to watch Grizzly Adams on tv as a young boy.You've blown me away yet again Scary Bear Attack's! I never knew there was a real Grizzly Adams.
What an amazing life this man led! People were obviously much tougher back in the 1800's then now.Thank you SBA for this story, I'm be researching John Adams.
Thank you my friend!
I've learned that "Grizzly" Adams had a compound about 60 miles East of San Francisco where he kept his animals. It was located among the hills mid way between Livermore & Tracy. I live in Tracy.
Pretty cool eh? That whole area used to be a crowded with grizzly's as anywhere in Alaska
@@scarybearattacks The California ironically has a grizzly bear on it's state flag, although they've been gone from here for a long time.
Watched Grizzly Adams when I was a child. Loved that show. Never knew it was based on a true story. The was a modern show called Fatal Attractions about people having wild animal or other animals as pets. People shouldn't have wild animals as pets. It's too dangerous.
Me too!
Love your stories! Thanks for making them.
My pleasure my friend!
The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid. My family and I watched it every week faithfully from the first to last show. I was so upset when the show went off the air.
I loved that show.
The story of grizzly Adams was always very interesting to me. I was always amazed on his life style and now as I look back over the years, we truly needed him. Do to the fact that he lived his life that we all should try to do, of taking care of things and not over using the things nature gives us. The T.V. show was one I watched faithfully I have alway been very in to nature and trying to help keep her as beautiful as I can. There were a ton of listens to be learned from the show. God bless and Rest In Peace . ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻❤️❤️❤️❤️
This bloke was a slow learner.
Great story! I love all your videos. So cool to have visited and lived temporarairly in Anchorage for 4 months close to where many of your stories originate.
Thank you! Anchorage is amazing 👏 I love to watch the tide roll up the arm!
This man was a legend!!! I loved watching the show grizzly adams did not know it was true story. One of a kind. 🐻
Me too!
Wtf?! This guy is awesome and it pains me to know that he was so careless. This guy had a gun but he’s a butter-fingers. What happened to Ben?
In the sources that I read grizzly Adams was extremely depressed after Ben died.
Thankyou for this, I remember watching the TV show when I was little and had all but forgotten it till I found this YT page.
Me Too! And I think I even still know how to sing the words to the theme song lol
I never knew the show was based on a true story, I use to love that show. This is awesome man thanks for posting this.
Me too. Thanks and take care!
I watched both Grizzy Adams and Jeremiah Johnson when I was a kid. loved those two tv shows. it is good to know about his life story,. thank you for your video life and times of Grizzy Adams and his bear Ben.
My pleasure my friend!
I’m unable to change channels. Totally engrossing. Excellent upload. Thank you
Lol Thank you very much my friend!
I watched the show in the 70's. I really liked it. I don't think he did any damage to the relations of animals and humans. Humans have been living with animals since the dawn of time, we ARE animals. Occasionally the animals kill humans and vice versa. Of course humans can coexist with bears we just have to be prepared for the eventuality that the bear is going to get us once in a while.
I always loved the story of Grizzly Adams. A caring man who loved bears. Thank you for sharing his story here.
While I loved the Grizzly Adam tv show when I was a kid . I never knew the back story behind it and while Ben the bear was and will always be my favourite character of the show. Now that I know the true back story it makes me feel sad that Adams took baby bears away from their mothers and sold them to zoos and circus’s. So in answer to your question was what he was doing harmful bears yes it was kind of harmful to the bears as lot zoos and circus’s back then didn’t know how to feed and care for captive wild animals properly. Fed foods that exstremely bad for bears
the book on Adams' life is amazing, it reads more like scary human attacks though
Yes!
Can you imagine the power behind one of those paws?!😱
Terrifying
Cool Grizzly Adams Origin Story. I remember watching that TV show as a kid.
Me too! I had to do it
Thanks Sean I actually learned something new today! Great job 💜🐻
Adams was no doubt a badass. Times where much different back then.
Fascinating episode. His actions are impressive. No I definitely dot believe bears or other wild animals can or should be domesticated or co-habitats with humans. Thanks for the story.
Thank you my friend!
I loved watching that show when I was a kid
Always wondered what actually happened to make him a legend. Interesting.
What a story thanks for sharing I always liked the show Grizzly Adams and the mountain life that comes with it!
Me Too!! I can even still sing the theme song lol
@@scarybearattacks me too lol
I enjoy all the stories you have, I have heard of this man before and remember watching some of the shows. How ever didn't know about the hole in his head, thank you for telling this story and what happened to this man. I hunt where there are some bears and your stories are helpful to me when I come across a bear. Please keep telling us the stories. Thanks again for all your doing.
Thank you very much and it's my privilege to make these videos!
I loved watching grizzly Adams growing up. I had no idea it was based on a real person. His life ending injuries proves that man and bear should give each other a wide berth.
Great story! Heard of him before but didn't know the details. I think in his time raising the bears from cubs was a good thing at least for a few bears. And pretty amazing how close they were. Almost like owning a dog. Much different approach than the Treadwell ordeal. Never like to see animals in zoo's or cage's however.
Thanks for the great memories of that show
I have them too and I wanted a giant pet Brown bear like gentle Ben for a long time lol
@@scarybearattacks Good Times 😁😆😌
Grizzly Adams was my favorite show growing up! I always want to grow up and marry him and live in the woods too. I still love the woods, but I would not like too many bears, especially in my house! LOL.
😆
I'd argue that Adams probably did bears more harm than "help" during his time, even if this wasn't intended.
For, yes, he proved he trap and "tame" bears... but a lot of times when these things are done, they're with cubs who could then never be released into the wild because of their association with man. And a "trained" bear is never truly tame. It may not be as aggressive or as vicious as a wild bear, but it IS still a bear. In a sense, the bears that Adams performed with would be no different than the lions or tigers that many circuses had in the 1800s and early 1900s, and there have been plenty of incidents in which a circus animal has attacked its trainer... and that's even with animals born in captivity and hand raised.
Adams didn't promote efforts designed to protect wild spaces for bears, provide a means to keep man and bear separate, or anything close to what naturalists and scientists would begin to argue for in the late 1800s when they began to realize that the "wild spaces" in America were rapidly filling up. A lot of Adams' adventures were at a time when people saw America's west as something so vast that it would never run out of wild spaces... which then made being able to trap and "triumph" over something like a bear seemed more attractive to the people of his day.
WOW. What a story thanks for sharing
What a legend. Good stuff as usual 👍
Interesting story! Thanks for doing a thorough job researching his life. Anybody who has read my comments on other videos knows I'm no fan of people trying to befriend wild animals. Therefore I would have to say his actions weren't wise or good for the bears. However I try to consider that this was before extensive research on bear behavior was conducted by trained scientists. Not that I approve of what he did at all but people of that era were fairly ignorant of the need to keep away from bears and other wild creatures. People used to feed bears in Yellowstone right up until the 1970's I believe. Nowadays nobody can use ignorance as an excuse since there is so much up to date information on bear behavior and how to minimize the risk of getting injured or killed by one of them.
Its been crazy seeing your channel grow. Almost to 30k! 🤗💚
Thank you for being part of it!
Hell yeah to Ben and Adam, what a great heart felt story, i could see everything u spoke of. 💙
Wow! I remember watching episodes of grizzly Adams in the late 70s and early 80s in Nigeria. He had an Natitve Ameeican buddy. I remember the tune and parts of the theme song "Maybe".
As long as I live in modern civilization I will NEVER complain again. That's what Grizzly Adams story has taught me. Normally I would say by him keeping a bear 🐻 as a companion of sorts yes it would be harmful to have a bear used to humans because we've seen attacks and things come after they've gotten too used to us. But I believe Grizzly is one of the RARE few. I don't believe this is something the next person should do or try no because u won't succeed. Every once and a while we do meet someone that can come in harmony with very dangerous creatures. Dang I can't think of his name but look at that lion 🦁 guy he basically lives with a pack of them. And not just them he's been close to hyena, tigers, cheetahs and others. I do not believe however that regular people should attempt this. Dude had a gift from God because otherwise he would've been ate. This man's life was extraordinary and he was utterly fearless. I don't like how modern men have become more feminized in this century. My husband is from Mexico and aside from the animals I see similar traits in spirit. There is a certain peace to living a wilder,simpler life that we've forgotten being so long in cities And technology.
@bridgetrodriquez Do you mean Dean Schneider? He has a pride of lions (Dexter, Snow, Leo, Nayla, and 2 more lionesses), plus Chuckie the hyena, the two brother cheetahs. They all live in Africa and he does a lot of conservation work to bring awareness to the animals. He’s Amazing with the pride!!
@@kjquezadaful Yes I think that's him🥰 His work is amazing.
What a cool man. God bless him!
Grizzly Adam’s was my favorite show when I was a little girl. Ben the Bear and #7 the mule!
Lol me too!
One of my favorite shows when I was a kid.
Great job yet again for your great fact storytelling ! Appreciate and love your channel, stay true to what you believe! I too knew and grew up watching and admiring grizzly adams! It was truly fun & wholesome watching good nature shows or anything about animals . 👍 God bless you all! Love being a part of this awesome channel from the beginning 😍❤️
Thank you very much!
Amazing story!
I salute this man,exceptional.
This is soooo interesting thank you 💗
My pleasure! ;)
I use to watch the Grizzly Adams show on TV when I was much younger and had no idea of his history so I learned alot from this video!! Thanks for another awesome video
Me too! Thank you!
I loved that show when I was young.
Amazing story and information!
Thank you!
I read about this very bear attack in a book by I think H.G.Wright some 30 years ago. Man those mountain men where tough SOBs. Grizzly bars rule.
I grew up watching that show and I never knew it was a true story and wow I lived in Massachusetts so cool finding out he was from there.
Pretty cool right?
@@scarybearattacks Very cool I loved that show.
Omg i loved watching Grizzly Adams as a child with my dad! I miss my daddy!😭😭😭😭😭😭
Bravo !
Totally the best bear story I've ever heard , unreal if its true , unreal bro ,what a great video awesome
I Loved that Show ❤️. I didn't know it was based on a true story. Awesome
This is amazing. I remember watching Grizzly Adams as a child, I never knew the true story. Thank you for your research. I have always been fascinated with bears.
Me Too!! Thank you!
Adams had more lives than my cat, lol. I am extremely ignorant here. I did not know that Grizzly Adams, was not simply a fictitious character. I was like oh my gosh 😁, when I came to the realization that he truly existed, from this video. I do see his actions harmful to bears. He basically domesticated this bear, making him more vulnerable to injury from his own kind. But, I understand that it was different times way back. Conquering animals in any fashion, was more accepted.
It wasn't just different times, they were living in wooden shacks with no generator, no snowplow to pull them out, no radio to call for help, no Whole Foods to deliver your groceries, and just wilderness all around. It was survival of the fittest.
@@Audfile ...I am solely talking about the bear 🤣
@@rebeccalavoy6655 so was I. 🤣
I too didn't realize he was a real person either I also thought he was a fictional character from tv. And I definitely didn't know he had a hole in his head. This I too am just learning about here.
@@sherrynotah1552...Sherry, I am glad that I am not the only one! I can't believe that I am learning this at 55 years of age, lol.
Great content
This is the craziest one so far!
Thank you!
Wow,that's kool. I watched Grizzly Adam's growing up. Was a awesome series
“Grizzly Adams DID have a beard” 😂
🤣
i watched that TV show when i was a kid and loved it
Me too! I loved gentle Ben and actually had a plan to have a pet bear of my own when I grew up :)
I loved watching Grizzly Adam's when I was a kid 💜
Doing a great job. Telling my pals.
This yarn derives from the days when there were still grizzly bears in California. The bears were all killed and California still has the brass to show a grizzly on the state flag! Mr. Adam's had the same affliction Timothy Treadwell had. The bears are my friends; they're safe because they love me. Nope to both of them. Bears are wild predators doing what wild predators do. Wild animals of the predator genre are never tamed as we know from countless situations involving human injury and death. The fact that Mr. Adams went into a hibernation den of a sow with two newborn cubs and stole the cubs reflects very poorly on him. This tale may have been considered entertainment when it occurred but it reads badly in these days. I say goodbye to Mr Adam's and RIP.
Shut up Karyn.
Maybe California is proud to rid the state of this creature, thus the flag, hooray.
You have absolutely no idea what you are speaking of. You have lived years and years amongst the wild animals correct? No, the man should NEVER HAVE TAKEN cubs from the den , but hey, what do you do for greed? The next time your limited life is out in the wild, you walk away from a new born fawn after its mother has been hit by a car. Must be nice to be perfect! Walk a mile in the shoes before you open your mouth!
@@angieheitz5466 the years and years amongst the wild animals were spent killing them for sustenance, killing them for safety or trying ones best to not be amongst them but by rather avoiding them. Locked in a cave, high parapets with nasty thorns atop and sharpened sticks to deter. Large fires to scare, solid building techniques akin to ancient civilisations, with many ton stone fortresses. Yes, some for marauding human enemy's but without doubt most to protect from animal predation. Bears, zoo's and remote unpopulated locations. Tigers, with the Bears. Hippo's and Crocodiles, not in my bath or wash house. Deadly venomous creatures, kill as discovered near to human habitation or anywhere contact is likely. Polar Bears, it's cold, don't go, bad luck stupid. Sharks, feed yourself to the giant sea creature, have a swim. If you've had a normal size creature such as a cat or dog get an inspired psychopathic intention to do you harm the risk to your health or life is a reality. Take a tame domesticated fluffy, multiply strength and size by 10 or 20, untamed non domestic, hungry and not your pet. Having children and not killing all and every predator that could gain access to that child not only proves that you're negligent but also a fool and possibly a good provider of meat to an animal rightfully once treated as our mortal enemy. By the middle of the 20th century many dangerous creatures were close to extinction, this through the efforts of hunters keeping family's safe. They are back, hunting Humans in the suburbs, here to kill YOU, what a blessing.
@@angieheitz5466 that deer analogy makes no sense. The sow wasn’t injured & he went into her den & stole her cubs while she was sleeping. How would like it if someone came into your house & stole your baby? There.. that’s the correct analogy for you Miss judgmental!!!
Good story. Thanks Scary bear. 👍
You got it my friend!
Great story!
Thank you!
love the stories of grizzly adams i have all on dvd
This is amazing! I always thought this was a fairy tale. 😳
Incredible. No, he did prove we can coexist
Thank you learned something from this clip😊
Great story
WOW...I trained the donkeys for Grizzly Adams TV series in late 70s..worked on set ... I had NO idea John Adams was a real.person!!!
Wow! That's so amazing! Small world!
They ought to make a Hollywood movie 🎥 about him. John “Grizzly” Adams
I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills about 50 miles from Lake Tahoe CA. The brown bear remains our state mammal though the last Brown bear in the state was killed in 1922, sadly.
Very sad
