My Dad told me that the natives put bells around the ankles of the children so it would chase the wildlife away and the parents could find them if they wandered off.
Always wear little bells on your clothes and carry pepper spray. Also know the difference between black bears and grizzlies. For example, black bear scat is dark, loose and has remnants of berries and squirrel fur in it. Grizzly bear scat is lighter in colour, more solid and smells of pepper and may have little bells in it.
And put a portable electric bear fence around your campsite. There’s one out there weighing only 2.4 lbs and it’s really capable. Passive deterrence for a good night’s sleep.
Funny actually. Back in 2017 June 18th (three years to the day of the release of this video) while stealth camping in the Rockies, not far from Rogers Pass, I faced down a black bear that was ripping open the bike panniers. I had pepper spray and screamed at it, arms out and made it run off. I was lucky.
I live in bear country and there are plenty down around town this year. I beg everyone visiting, please respect all the animals. They don't want anything to do with you, so don't ruin their day because you want a better pic. If anything happens to you, it'll cost the animal it's life. You're not that selfish and/or stoopid are you?
Experience reveals that bear spray only works on nuisance bears and not on enraged bears intent on attacking you. Carrying a combination of bear spray and a bear gun work best.
Instruction to calmly talking to a bear while walking backwards is a bad posture and invitation for attack, even with a bear spray...unless there are cubs arround. Best way is to take a stand and yells now and then towards bear, take a stance, never turn back, never run, not easy to do tho in that situations most ppl would lose mind.
Spray is statistically best but is not effective 100% of the time (see the video of the guy attacked twice by a Grizz despite him blasting it with spray). With that in mind a firearm as a backup is a good idea. However no guns are allowed in National Parks. In Canada handguns are restricted so, if taking a firearm where allowed, ensure it is non restricted.
@@dosmundos3830 Sure. There's a lot of misinformation surrounding antiques. First, it has to be a true antique and not a recent replica. That said, how much do actual antiques cost? What are limitations of wandering about with an antique cap & ball or Peacemaker on your hip? Is this okay with the police? I don't know. Because it is not considered a "firearm" does that mean we can carry them in a National Park? I don't know. The regs are hazy (as always).
@@lib556 i have numerous antique pistols, they're NOT cap and ball lol. antique pistols can be in 32 rimfire, 38 rf, 445 webley centrefire, 44 colt centre fire as well as many more. any antique firearm can be discharged anywhere that a regular firearm can be discharged. if you're shooting at a charging bear no one's going to be concerned about being charged for carrying a firearm in a national park, we'd rather live lol. no bear no shooting no problem.
@@dosmundos3830 Right. But one is prohibited from discharging a firearm in a Nat Pk. I have a .455 Webley but, by my read of the rules, it isn't an antique as it was a Mk VI manufactured in 1918. What about cost?
@@lib556 But one is prohibited from committing suicide in a Nat Pk also, spraying the wrong bear in the face is tantamount to the same thing. too bad for you, get an older one.
All creatures have the right to life, wild animals are attacked when they see themselves in danger. therefore, we must show by our behavior that we are not in danger for them, so that, we and them should be safe.
It's not uncommon for me to let out a YOOP when I'm dropping into overgrown trails. Have a (discreet) bell on my bars... little thumb lever... just flick it for a quick ping... My pack can be festooned with my 25oz can of bearspray on my left shoulder strap (if I'm heading up higher than usual) and always, there is a quick (and easy) access 4" knife on the right hand side... just below the flask of Fireball. Just a small flask if you're wondering... more ceremonial, really. As for dogs, I've run into hikers that have warned about aggressive male (bears)... with claimes that the bear had followed them back to the car. But they had dogs with them, and naturally, a dog would not let up on the bear, so yeah. Dogs and bears don't mix. Dogs are like that girlfriend that can't help picking a fight with every guy in the bar for you. Sometimes it's just better not to bring them along...
When I moved to the mountains, I promised my kids that when my time drew near, I'd be sure to be killed by a Grizzly. I said it was my way of leaving them the best damn "How my dad died" story ever! None of their friends' dads seem nearly as committed ...
@@mkey505 That's actually a myth. There is no evidence that looking a bear in the eye increases the likelihood of an attack. In fact, if an aggressive or predatory bear comes after you, bear experts says TO look them in the eye and start yelling and stamping and raising your arms at them to keep them from thinking you are an easy target.
I dont know how people go camping where bears are. Like in Kananaskis Country, which is also known as bear country. The bears circle the tents at night. I love going to Banff and the mountains, but I donot want to risk my life thank you lol we always stay in hotels. Or drive to Calgary to sleep.
Usual sense of entitlement of dog owners not obeying the rules in wildlife areas. 'Dogs' are not a natural part of the wild by any stretch and either are domestic 'cats'.
As if a bear understands when you talk to him as in our language Hey bear we're leaving ! You have to be brain dead to actually think the bear understands you ! It is the tone or frequency of your voice and the rhythm of the voice will be the only thing the bear MAY relate to, Carry more than just a can of bear spray, You may encounter more than one bear or other aggressive animals.
I think we all know he means to make noise, not to actually converse with the bear 🙄 Like the bears going to be like "Aight we good, see you next time Dave".
Bear spray? If the bear has never experienced it before, it will most likely work. However, if you spray a bear that has been bear sprayed before, it WILL rip you apart with fury.
@@mkey505 Living in Alaska and listening to the natives there who have been doing research on the issue since near spray has been introduced, and on bear behavior in general for the past 10 thousand years.

Its annoying to have constant bells dingling while walking.
We just hug a bear in Russia. Bears are very pleasant animals. Always protect bears and all animals!
If a bear is brown, lay down. If a bear is black, fight back. If a bear is white, say goodnight !
Thank you may save my life
Bears are scared, but very beautiful.
It wont be beautiful when its eating your flesh
Bears are 'scary' . . .
What if 'Hayoo' means meal is ready for Bear? 😁
Then what?
🏃♂️💨💨💨
Bear hears hiker....
"MMMmmmm..... Dinner is here!"
Haha!! No, we're not meals for bears. For polar bears yes, or the odd grizzly but that's about it.
A domestic dog off leash sounds like a treat to the Canadian wildlife.
Rarely does CBC allow comments. I guess that's why they get so many dislikes in most of their clips.
No mention of the 12 guage/slug deterrent?
What can you expect from a Canadian news agency?
Bear lover in the house. 😊

Beast are cool animals I like grizzlys
Talking to the bear keeps ME calm.
We have too many bears in Finland 🇫🇮 so I have to be very careful all the time. This video looks like it were taken in Finland, so similar forest
Nice. Well, it's their land, they were there first before humans.
this campaign show me direction
Thats why I have my 12 Guage shot gun on my hikes. target rounds for warning shots then 3 inch slugs for follow ups
This scared me. I thought this video released because maybe there was a bear attack and thought this video is trying to prevent tragedy

antique firearms are not restricted and don't require a PAL, an 1880's Colt pistol will do the trick.

Very good video ,A MUST video to watch !! Especially if you live in a bear territory, or visiting places where known to have bears around ! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

😂 I have a similar motto. “When I go out, it’s gonna be badass” whether that be by bear, lion, or shark, it’ll be a bang.
Another important tip...avoid bear country.
Can you explain the avoid eye contact with a bear? Thanks
It is seen as a challenge / aggressive to make eye contact.
@@mkey505 That's actually a myth. There is no evidence that looking a bear in the eye increases the likelihood of an attack.

Come on now, everybody knows bears like a good tummy scratch
Dont forget the honey
I dont know how people go camping where bears are. Like in Kananaskis Country, which is also known as bear country. The bears circle the tents at night. I love going to Banff and the mountains, but I donot want to risk my life thank you lol we always stay in hotels. Or drive to Calgary to sleep.
Funny how not once did he mention how bear spray doesn't always work
Pepper spray always works
What the F*k is a meter? You say say back 100 merterers? You mean 100 inches? ok
Usual sense of entitlement of dog owners not obeying the rules in wildlife areas. 'Dogs' are not a natural part of the wild by any stretch and either are domestic 'cats'.
AR ? Or a shout ? Clap 👏🏾?
This is all spin and makes me sick
how about leave them alone ,if your in bear country and you molest the animal even being in its space its called wildlife for a reason
Protect the bears !!! So few compared to the 8 billion humans ... we are the ones who are ending their habitat
Answer-Bear spray
Never once saw a bear while walking in the woods. Deer, raccoons, beavers, moose, rabbits..... never bears.
Wolf??

Here is an idea, stay out of the woods.
I would not want someone to enter my home without asking.
Government should create fences and space for hikers like me
You know... if we had a second amendment.. we would all be able to protect ourselves eh?
