Same here, I'm amazed how people can go into the wilderness without any kind of weapons to defend themselves, I don't care how nice and beautiful a area may look, you don't go without a rifle, shotgun, sidearm, axes, and big hunting knives!
I've seen shows with the two friends in the cougar attack before. I think she's got a wonderful friend who, even though she had no real plan or means of defense, was willing to get up close and personal with a mountain lion to try and save her life. She never left her side, she never wavered. God bless them both! ❤
Thanks for another great upload! Please upload more of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" I've watched them all! I know I'm not the only one who has binged that series.
OwO everything wolfie is a proud furry the show stopped awhile ago... just look for episodes online, there’s other seasons, but there won’t ever truly be new episodes.
Brian of Texas! - The Republicans are weak as well, Right to bear Arms is an ABSOLUTE UNHINDERED RIGHT. Under US Law you can't pick and choose legally. If you're American, you may be armed. That's Law.
*+Blacc Unicorn* I've done it without anything worse than the odd non disease carrying mosquito and sandfly, or an annoying possum trying to get into the food. Oh wait. You mean where you live. Sorry. It's easy to forget the world doesn't revolve around one country such as New Zealand. But my friend, if you do want a safe place to sleep under the stars, your only concern is to pack the insect repellant. Thankfully nothing lethal except one's own stupidity. Of which there is no repellant but the wise use of education.
@@chrisfromsouthaus2735 You're right, I should've said magpies, I admit I got so used to crocs in our backyard that seeing them on the back lawn basking became the norm for me.😂
I remember when I was a child some old people were talking about wolves, from back in the day when they were not so rare here... "A lone wolf is most likely to attack you than a pack. But, you are more likely to survive the attack of a lone wolf than a pack. If the pack is determined to get you, not much you can do"...
Zac says he doesn't blame the wolf. If that had happened to me i would forever blame my parents for taking me to such a dangerous place. The pain and trauma that this child must have gone through for years must have been HORRIFIC!!!!
Parents: "Let's live in an urban setting and spend so much time on career that our children are raised by themselves, social media and strangers". Also parents: "My son joined a gang and got addicted to drugs".
i really don't have much to say but i'll break it up into sections to make it seem like something.............. i still don't...see i kept both promises
To many people unfamiliar with the wild take advice from the wrong people or don't bother asking before they do similar to the family attacked by the wolf , TAKE weapons suitable for defence against wild life in that area regardless of your politics .
@@williamlipsett5772 The problem is lack of self-reliance and confidence in one's ability to interact with nature in a way our ancestors have for millions of years. Most citiots have lost that. Very very very VERY few people will encounter wild areas where a firearm is an actual necessity. And the problem is that people become lazy and over-reliant upon them as a panacea. People should read some Tom Brown Jr. He is an Apache-trained tracker and scout that has been used by law enforcement to track down some of their toughest cases. He relates one where he tracked an ex-Green Beret who went bonkers. And he utterly defeated him . . . by simply separating him from his "toys" he carried in like some umbilical cord from civilization and then watched as a nature he had zero respect for, beat him down.
You do it because coddling them away from the realities of life sabotages them over time. There are far more important and meaningful things in Life that just keeping our emotions safe. (And most of them involve the potential for putting our emotions in the moment, in peril.)
@Nobodyimportant I watch shows like this and still take groups of children out camping. It's the same as people watching all kinds of crime shows and still going out in the city to live their life.
A tent isn't gonna stop an animal that wants to attack. Especially a wolf/cougar that's been kicked out its pack. They're desperate to eat and a flimsy tent isn't gonna stop him.
@Nobodyimportant It's called a "psychological barrier". It will has value against an animal predator who is just curious or opportunistic in its feeding.
@@The_turbo_engine Remember that animals don't think like human animals! Their instincts are constantly weighing potential risk and gain. And even a flimsy fluttering tent can be enough of an "unknown" to send them packing. Especially if the noises of humans reacting to last night's campfire cuisine are emanating from inside it!
I recently met a sheriff deputy who had a stuffed mountain lion in his house. I was there repairing his air conditioner. I asked him about the mountain lion, and he said that he shot it with a crossbow. Before hitting it with an arrow, the big cat had managed to flank a few of the hound dogs and killed them both. After the lion was hit, the group had to chase it down about a mile and half, and then the lion managed to dig his claws into the deputies back while being dispatched. This lion was not even fully grown, so it just goes to show how powerful these animals really are. I personally have seen mountain lions on two occasions. The first one was in Southern California and the second in Northern Arizona. Luckily, I was never attacked. In Arizona I was armed with a .40 caliber pistol, but even if you're armed chances are you will never see the attack coming. If you do manage to pull your weapon in time, it may take a few well placed head shots to take the mighty beast down.
Most animals have at least 3x the muscle density of humans. Which means a 100 lb bear or cougar would have no trouble besting a 300 lb person. An 80 lb chimpanzee could quite feasibly rip the limbs off an average person. (Jane Goodall discovered that chimps actually go to war and do this to members of competing troops, even if those individual chimps were once part of their their troop. She tried to conceal this information for decades, afraid that it would shatter the myth of the chimpanzee that the world so loved)
Can we take a moment of silence for that man who was killed by the cougar? RIP to him and I hope his family and friends are doing alright to. My prayers go to him and them. 🙏🏻❤️ Edit: I just found out his name was Mark Reynolds and he was 35. Rest In Peace Mark❤️
@@Tricia.e25 your comment makes no sense idk what you’re even trying to tell me. I’m just stating who that man was who was killed by the cougar since nobody seemed to know his name. What’s my RUclips name got to do with it?
Liberals keep screaming for stupid gun laws, so if you get caught with a weapon in certain states, countries, situations, etc… you could find yourself behind bars with huge fines and whatever else they can get on you. Now I will say a can of bear spray would be better than nothing and a knife or club.
Oh I’m sure all those liberals screaming for universal background checks really just want people to get eaten by wild animals. You realise that most NRA members agree with some form of gun laws? Also pretty sure you can take out a wild animal without an AR-15. So unless these people were on the terror watch list or planning on bring an AR-15, I’m not quite sure how you managed to make this into the prototypic argument about liberals hating guns…
I know it shouldn’t have been funny … but when his mower stopped….the door was Locked and then his wife was laying in there sleeping… 🤣🤣🤣 lollllll I lost it. “Thanks sweetheart!! No go on- you get some rest!”
Actually I'm a good ways through them -- and there seems to be FAR more people who are more afraid of their own negative emotions than of anything that might possibly manifest itself in any natural setting. And so many of the suffer a "perceptual dissonance" that would have them totally overlooking the 1300 kids killed annually by guns that are there allegedly to protect them (a huge proportion in urban and suburban settings) just to focus on 3 stories of peril in more natural (but to them far more alien) settings. It manifests as a profound attempt to overlook an imagined danger fed by just a handful of stories, while overlooking a real danger right under their nose that is corroborated years after year by stats. Yes, I chose the childhood death by firearm stat intentionally because so many people are also deluded into thinking a firearm is their "savior". But there are even more shocking stats about non-fatal shootings and a plethora of other dangers, close calls, injuries and deaths by other causes, factoring far higher in urban/suburban settings that out in wilderness. Even when you factor in per-capita.
Not a survival expert but who the hell sleeps out in the open in the wilderness? These parents are asking for death! Why would they do this with kids? When you have kids you always go above and beyond to make sure it’s a safe trip!
That is incredible the wolf is biting and eating his face and he doesn't wake up unbelievable. I said to my Granddaughter, "You guys sleep like you are dead." I am so glad the wolf didn't attack the little boy. Not saying that it wasn't a horrible attack, on the older son. With the little boy, the wolf may have dragged him away. TG the family got away.
Yes, I mean our ancestors were SO stupid to go out and live life in a place and time when wildlife was arguably far more plentiful than now. 🙄 But seriously, if anyone cannot understand why people would not hide indoors all the time out of fear of the world that is our birthright, they understand nothing about our species over the past 190 million years. That you are afraid to live life doesn't mean everyone else should be. Even in hiding under your blankets you pays your money and takes your chances. There are FAR more "predatory animals" in the average large city than in 200,000 acres of pristine wilderness.
@cobainzlady Do you have any idea of how ancient peoples lived and moved around the landscape? (If not I would heartily recommend the book "Red Snake" by George McMullen. It dives deeply into the wooly metaphysical of a psychic medium, but strangely has received the nod of approval from Tribal members who still hold the stories of "ancient times".) They only traveled as an entire tribe on rare occasions; even the seasonal migrators. Individual and small family-group travel was far more common. Also, we have no evidence of just how many of these excursions involved campfires. Remember that a fire advertises one's presence to potential tribal enemies. I know it's harsh, but those ancients who made poor choices and died for them . . . have no weight in this reality. Evolution and Nature has "judged them", and they are not our ancestors. We are not "the children" . . . of those who made poor choices. Also people tend not to camp in city parks (crime-infested or otherwise) as prime reason, because it's illegal. I appreciate the attempt to discuss, but you need to put a bit more thought effort into your points.
I hate the word "infested". This is where wildlife belongs.. In the wild! They probably think "Damn these people infesting what little habitat we have left!"
The mower running out of gas at that crucial time is like when someone running from a killer finally finds a car & the keys aren't there or it won't start..smh
I'm going to be honest I didn't even notice that he had a scar until I found out that he was the one that was bite. The surgeon that worked on him must have done a very good job because the scar is really not that noticeable and thank God for that.
They should have been punished for their lack of protection to their children, sleeping in the forest with wolves, bears and mountain lions they are actually lucky they weren't all wiped out that night.
And then waste all that time trying to "find" or whatever the wolf instead of just immediately packing everything in the canoe and running fast to help!
Savage - Beast if the wolf had a pack I doubt he would’ve ever attacked the family... he only went for the child cause he was small & being a lone wolf you can’t take on bigger prey like bears, moose, etc. which are what packs hunt. Maybe do some research before making a comment that makes you look uneducated. I will say tho *very dumb* of the parents to decide not to set up tents in the middle of the woods especially when they don’t know what kind of animals & predators live there.
As a person who lives in Colorado, a place where you see Coyotes all the time, I can clarify that Coyotes are almost conpletely harmless. We often see them walking down certain streets, and walking in fields often, and they always run away because they are scared of humans. I constantly see them in my backyard, and they usually are only there because they are hunting small animals such as rabbits and squirrels. There is this one neighborhood Coyote, who constantly walks down my street, and catches all of the rabbits nearby. The only thing to really watch out for about Coyotes is rabies, and your small pets. One of my best friends lost her young kitten to a Coyote not too long ago, and it's always a good reminder that they are still predators. If you live in a Coyote area, be aware of your small pets, such as dogs, cats, and other small animals you may own. If you see a Coyote, keep your distance, but don't be alarmed. They are most likely just minding their own business and hunting.
Viperstrike 9000 My cousin was actually watching this video maybe 2-5 minutes before my mother decided that she was going to drag me out into the woods for a hike
Not nearly a fraction so many as those caused by other humans. You are statistically far more safer out in a wilderness area in a tent than behind a locked door in the city.
@@btstxt432 Generally yes. What I think one sees in far too many of the replies is indication of just how separated people have become from their own natural heritage.
It's mind-boggling to hear how safe someone can say they feel sleeping in the woods with hour children exposed to the elements, all the predators👀👀 I'm sorry, buy as much as I love nature and the woods, I love my little toddler boy more. I could never risk my most precious treasure.
Yes and I'm certain your little boy will grow up a sheltered, over-protected, bubble wrapped, pathetic little wimp. When other kids talk about camping your boy won't even know what they're talking about. He'll grow up missing out on everything that makes life worthwhile. Good for you!!
All these types of programs showcase people with low IQs nearly dying due to their inability to correctly gauge life-threatening danger before it manifests itself.
I camped in a tent in Iowa once. The fear of being attacked by a wolf Spider was so great I didn’t sleep. I chalked it up to My survival instincts being really strong. I want to live!
I lived 1/4 mile from Whiting Ranch and I remember this woman's attack. I spent my teen years hiking and exploring all over those hills and mountains both during the daytime as well as at night, I remember being very shocked by this story. I mean, you know lions are in the area but you never see them of course, and attacks are extremely rare.
Cyrus do you still explore the area after the attack or did you think maybe I should stop ?? Im just wondering if you took that attack as a warning or decided that it's rare theses things happen I'll be fine besides I can die in a car crash etc and still continued to enjoy exploring the area. I bet its beautiful area to live to have all that beautiful land to explore and enjoy. Whatever you do take care and stay safe and if you do still do go out and enjoy exploring the beautiful countryside be careful, and stay safe 😃
Honey, if you know that they are there, please, don't join "that will never happen to me" team. If there are predators in the area, you always should care some kind of protection! P. S. Moms really should teach that to their children
NOPE, ME TOO. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT THE FIRST ONE WAS GOING TO BE THE COUGAR, SINCE THE FATHER SAID THE DOCTORS SAID THIS COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A WOLF, WOLVES DON'T DO THIS. THAT IS WHEN I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO REVEAL IT WAS A WILD COUGAR. LOL.
As far as the cougar goes.... the thing I found when petting cougar that was raised from birth by a friend is that the cat feels like a blanket covering steel cables!
Lary Mayotte I read a story where a guy was invited to a wild life center that housed a orphaned cougar that now acted as an animal ambassador. They used to take it to schools to educate kids....but stopped when the animal started eying the kids as it grew up. Well, this guys buddy invites him INTO THE COUGAR ENCLOSURE to pet it. Fun fact. Hunter regularly donated deer organs and doe heads and the cougar LOVED to eat deer head...crunchy crunchy, yummy yummy. Well, The is is petting the cougar, and the cat starts to lick us arm in response....was raspy and hurt a little but he thought nothing of it. Then, when he got distracted, the cougar suddenly grabbed his arm in it’s mouth, and started slowly squeezing the arm in his mouth. His buddy was to busy talking to notice this sudden action. Well, he compared the force of the cougars jaw on his arm like a slowly tightening vice grip. He looked dead in the cougars eyes (probably saved him from loosing the arm) and swore the cat looked dead back as if to ask, “So what are you gonna do about this? I got you.....” He kept eye contact with the cougar, but calmly as possible told his buddy that the cougar was biting him.... His buddy promptly smacked the cougar on the nose with a loud “NO” and thankfully the cougar let go and backed off. His arm was thankfully ok.....skin was barely broken but you could clearly see the imprint of the teeth. He concluded his tale by saying after that day his respect for wild animals went up a hundred fold. He was not mad at the cougar, it was being a cougar. But the experience humbled him. But he will NEVER AGAIN enter the enclose of a wild animal again, nor will ever own an exotic pet.
Weirdly enough spotted a cougar on a hunting property of a friend of my dads when I was about 10, he was up on a cliff I looked at it and was frightened but tried not to move and it looked at me but quickly lost interest and left. This was shortly after I found oldish cougar tracks thinking “oh that’s cool”. Never will I venture off alone again 😐
@@equarg domesticated cats do the same thing to show affection/play with each other and their owners, even a house cat could puncture skin if it wanted to so clearly the cougar didn't want to. Willing to bet this is just a cat trait. It also licked him first which is not aggressive
The only reason we track down an attack like that is to be sure it's not sick. It's not normal behavior for a lone wolf. Same with all predators up here. We usually dart them now rather than kill, but we Def don't want a virus spread in our packs or cougars. He had the right attitude.
Did the mom in the wolf attack story then say “We then got in the canoe and didn’t know where to go so were lost on the water for THREE HOURS????” He literally lost his entire face and they’re paddling around in the dark in circles for hours????? It’s as if the only other outdoor experience they had before this was a few hours in their back yard on a hammock! And she STILL seems to not understand what SHE exposed the kids to! Acting as if laying in the dark wilderness could not possibly lead to any negative outcome? Glad he’s ok - because of his own strength and nothing else.
exactly, people are so damn dumb... Humanity would've gone extinct long ago if our ancestors had similarly non-existent abilities to think clearly, and protect their offspring.
yup the way she says how peaceful she felt out in a place with dangerous animals and her kids with her you can tell she is under some scary illusion and completely unaware of the reality but its not only the parents fault even the doctors did not believe a wolf could do that humans had to respect for this powerful animal
Cannot believe these idiots comments. There’s tons of blogs on truly abusive parents. No nature for those poor babies. Just torture and death. Hey but at least they dont take them camping eh??
Alber tina yeah, no! Since they most often attack children, it is evil when people prioritize their ignorant love of animals over that of precious children.
@@mamamia8284 I wouldn't put my children in danger because I love nature.. This is the thing. I would never ever go to sleep in a place where there's even the remotest risk to encounter a pack of wolves!!!
I suppose people prefer the blessing of a locked door, a loaded gun beside the bed, and the "pleasures" of pondering just how many violent predators might be stalking around every square mile of their "blessed urban center". These dopey comments are REALLY a wake-up call as to how disconnected from their natural heritage people have become -- and how delusional it makes them.
@@anniinthewoods8287 , you are much closer together in a tent, which makes it harder for a wolf to use stealth to grab a victim. Spread out as the family was gave the wolf the element of surprise.
The cougar story really made me furious 😡 ! 3 people and they couldn’t get the cougar off of her. You got one lady pulling her leg and 2 MEN throwing rocks from far behind 🤦🏾♀️Thank God the lady made it out alive .
Exactly ❗️All she’s doing is standing there pulling her leg , lol . Like if don’t throw your bike at this cougar or attack it or something. Sheesh , she could have even called the men to at least come up closer to where they was and throw rocks at the cougar and attack it , they standing way in the back . That lady is lucky to make it , with how they were helping , smh 🤦🏾♀️ Friendship would have been terminated fa sho lol
Elizabeth Jones OMG THANK YOU I was saying the SAME thing. Granted it’s a wild animal but if it’s so concentrated, come from behind with a very large very heavy rock and bulldoze it’s face right off. Wtf is pulling a leg gonna do. And u mean to tell me 4 grown ppl couldn’t take down something 115 pounds?! It’s not like it’s a tiger or African Lion (400+ lbs). Idk, seeing my friend like that would’ve made me scared, but I would’ve charged at that lion.
The sound too. Any time a survivor talks about the deep breathing of a bear, the growling of a wolf, or ear piercing screeching from a cougar, that's what gives me chills in my soul.
My grandfather told me this story about a rabid coyote when he was a boy, it went like this. He and his older brother Robert were out chopping wood and loading the wagon with it to bring back to the house for firewood. They must of been 10-12 at the time back in the 40’s. As they were chopping, all of the sudden Robert grabbed my grandpa and they jumped up in the wagon and Robert stood infront of my grandpa with the axe held ready to swing. My grandpa didn’t know what was going on until he saw the foaming coyote. Robert turned to my grandfather and whispered, DONT MOVE AND BE Quiet. They stood still for a few minutes as the rabid coyote kind of just looked around not being able to really see them or hear them because he was in the latter stages of rabies. Rabies affects the vision big time so my uncle Robert knew to not move a muscle. After a few minutes, maybe 2, my grandpa said it just turned and wandered off. They waited for about 10 minutes then stuck out home to get their daddy. He found and killed the rabid Yote. My Great Uncle Robert saved my grandpas life that day.
Laura Xx exactly! He did not intend to harm. He did intend to hunt for food. It is the Wolf instinct. It is not wrong and he is not a danger when not in their territory because they are very territorial.
Well said. To put it into perspective for people think about this: Someone breaks into your house, you think they may have weapons and see things you don't recognize, what would you do? Defend your home right? In the court of law (depending on the state) you can kill someone who breaks into your home. Just defending yourself by attacking them and not killing them? You will VERY likely not suffer any consequence under the law. So should the wolf suffer for a very similar thing?
The wolf didn't do anything wrong 😔 Of course it's a dangerous animal, it's a wolf, and you basically walked onto its plate. The man did the right thing, scaring it away by showing dominance.
You're right, it's so sad for them, theyre just being animals, it's what they do, so, if you don't want to get hurt, then don't go to they safe place, it's just unfair for the poor animals, they are wilds, you can not blame them for that
I’m agreeing with you ! A totally innocent kid camping in the woods was asking for his head to be ripped off and eaten alive in front of his parents! It’s like when a girl wears skimpy clothing she’s asking for it
Amen to that. I live deep in side the mountains and surrounded by nothing but woods. extremely wildlife here. We highly recommend to travel in woods in a pack
21:00 One of the best stories ever. The coyote met his match, picked the wrong guy to mess with XD. I luv how the man handled the situation perfectly. I know it's not to laugh about, but really kinda funny too how a beautiful day turned into sudden chaos lolz, really wasn't expecting that to happen. His mower suddenly ran out of gas and the door is locked lol. He's a great guy!
Nah they never did. They left me out in the woods all alone as a sacrafice to the wolf gods when I was six. They wouldn't let me back in until I was bit. Now me and my brother have matching scars. It's pretty cool
I'm glad the woman survived and is okay she is so lucky to be alive . Most people don't survive a mountain lion attack. Once they grab u they won't let go. They will do everything they can do to finish u off. The friend was brave enough to try to save her . Mountain lions dont scare that easily but when u try grabbing thier prey they show u whos boss the friend is lucky it didn't turn on her. Im glad they r both okay . But when ur mountain lion territory be prepared.
I rather be attacked by a bear than a mountain lion mountain lions grab on than go straight for the jugular stick their claws on ur back and ur basically dead
Pffft save her? Imagine thinking she even did anything to help her friend.. Literally there's huge rocks to smash the animal's head in and she doesn't do that
@@Malenia128 what's even more weird, those men were throwing rocks, when woman was between them and cougar. Could hit eighter of two women, and killed them off
Just look at house cats for example, when they're hunting for birds, rats, Squirrels, chipmunks, they will go for the kill and they grab them by the neck and you can see how they do it. Once they're hooked onto something they don't get easily distracted. So seeing how house cats hunt should give anyone a clue how big cats hunt
They are worse than pits. It's how they are. Built to hold and strangle for very long times. Grab its tail from behind. Don't yell and snap its tail or hind legs. They will let go quick into the woods.
Hey you know what else is dangerous? Cars. So you probably shouldn't go out near the road, and yell out a bunch of engine noises, and then goto sleep on the highway.
A brilliant balance on all of this weeping and moaning about how dangerous pristine natural settings are! Your child is in far more potential danger in your own home (and certainly while traversing an urban area) -- and far more likely to be shot by the very weapon so many are moaning "was not present" . . . than attacked by wildlife. Yes, it happens. But so too, does Life! A LOT of moaners need to get one.
@It's a BunnayYou never know when an intelligent person to carry a wonderful conversation with, will emerge from the cloud of fools! So are you the former, or the latter?
No tent and no fire in the Canadian wilderness is not a smart idea! My brother as a teenager was hunting in Ontario and was circled by seven wolves while in a ravine. He was able to scare them off with warning shots, but no way would i sleep outside without protection and a fire! There are predators in the woods, you need to be prepared!
I lived in Algonquin Provincial Park when I was a small child because my father was a Ranger. We lived in a small cabin. No one ever mentioned wolves at all. They did mention bears and cautioned me to stay near the cabin and not go off on trails. It was a beautiful life there on the shores of Grand Lake.
People REALLY need to learn to manage their high Trait-Neuroticism. There are far far far more stories of people (children included) slaughtered within their own 4 protective walls than out sleeping in some beautiful wilderness area on the ground.
I really appreciate these videos. It allows me to learn lesson in the safety of home and to be hyper vigilant when I am in that environment. Nature is no joke. It is unpredictable.
Also don't let rare stories stop you from enjoying nature. I am a single mom with 2 kids. This last summer we spent 4 weeks in the mountains in our tiny camper and I had a zip line going over the creek. Just be smart! We also have 2 German shepards, lol.
maria battles At least carry a baseball bat, a good knife handy 24/7, and bear spray. Plus use your head, don’t panic, and for God’s sake don’t act like prey!
@@nugnugnugget8717 In their defense, they did say weapon, not specifically a gun. A bat, knife, club, taser, mace, etc. could also be considered weapons. I'm pretty sure an axe is vital when camping in the woods. I don't really know of any survivalists that go into the woods with large predators without at least a pocket knife
Welllllllll, they probably be loved they would be safe especially because most aninals are more scared of us then we are of them, so they where probably under the beliefs of two things. 1) there where no majorly dangerous things around not to mention while out they may not have seen wolf droppings and 2) Wolfe's don't do that much same with many other animals as of them being scared of us humans knowing what we can and can not do. Not trying to sound mean or mad or just rude overall I just wanted to add my own input on it
Humans amaze me! Mom, out in the wilderness with her baby, says, "Yes, all you men go have fun on the river, The baby and I will just stay here and make dinner." as if she is in her suburban kitchen!!! So glad this child made it through this attack! This is why I would NEVER go into the wilderness with a stupid man with no rifle or gun that he knew how to use!
THEN when his face is literally bitten off they get in the canoe- get lost and paddle around for THREE HOURS as if he was not bleeding to death and in agony. His nose was broken in 5 places and they got lost in the lake for 3 extra hours. They truly define “not outdoorsy”
Yes it amazed me too, so naive... "Here we come we own everything"... When they are on other beings territory, and have not the language to grasp nature. Sad to say but the parents are responsible alone. Naivity very often comes with a big price, we women know this. Tough world it is, but so it is.
Am so upset that these parents put their kids out there in the bush like that. Lazy to pitch the tent . If was a tiger or lion that boy wouldn’t survive. Am glad he survived.
I live in the country of Oklahoma and I live near a nature reserve in my subdivision and my house backs up to a lake, so I have seen snakes, snapping turtles, coyotes and mountain lions, they usually aren’t seen so I feel safe but they are dangerous. I love animals and I respect them.
@@reneluna5340 no she's alive because her friend held on for dear life preventing the mountain lion from draging her into the bush and finishing her off. Just like it did to the male cyclist before. And because of the friends screaming the 2 males came running to help and it was the combined efforts of everyone that finally ran it off. If her friend had turned tail and run she would have been mauled to death quickly. She was completely defenseless. They will be best friends until the end of their days. I can see them now...rocking out on the front porch talking bout the olden days...gossiping and bragging about their grandchildren. This friends determination and love made me emotional. This is the type of friend you want....she didn't hesitate or think about herself. There was no "what if." There was only that moment in time and the certainty that she was going to die trying if she had to💕
Honestly, killing a rabid animal is really doing it a service. Rabies is awful and painful and miserable and killing it would put it out of its misery too, in addition to protecting people. Honestly putting it down is the best thing even if it wasn’t dangerous.... end it’s suffering
While living in Alaska, a group of us were riding our bicycles around Cooks Inlet in Anchorage. We had been warned that a pack of wolves had been killing and eating dogs that were on the trail. They'd send 1 wolf out onto the trail, to act as a decoy. When the jogger and their dog would see the lone wolf, the dog-ranging in size from mastiff to shepherd-would take after the wolf, the pack would attack the dog, killing, and eating it. We had seen moving shadows while biking in the heavily wooded areas. Bears, moose, and wolf live there. While returning to our parked autos, I looked up to see a wolf quietly stalking me. And more of them in the shadows. We didn't have dogs or any pets with us, so we had to be the prey!
I do wonder if this wolf had rabies or something, it is extremely rare for a lone wolf to attack a whole family. I have in fact NEVER heard of such an incident.
It's said in video that he/she had been ostracized from/kicked out of the pack. Now a lone wolf without the pack for backup, he became a desperate predator. Might have also become rabid.
It BLOWS my mind how doctors can put faces literally torn apart back together so beautifully! It's something to marvel.
I'm shocked, how unprepared people are, when they are trekking, running, hunting, in countries with wild dangerous, animals.
Same here, I'm amazed how people can go into the wilderness without any kind of weapons to defend themselves, I don't care how nice and beautiful a area may look, you don't go without a rifle, shotgun, sidearm, axes, and big hunting knives!

Yes, true. But It's more important to 'think' before putting your family in the position in the first place.
I've seen shows with the two friends in the cougar attack before. I think she's got a wonderful friend who, even though she had no real plan or means of defense, was willing to get up close and personal with a mountain lion to try and save her life. She never left her side, she never wavered. God bless them both! ❤

I remember when I was a child some old people were talking about wolves, from back in the day when they were not so rare here... "A lone wolf is most likely to attack you than a pack. But, you are more likely to survive the attack of a lone wolf than a pack. If the pack is determined to get you, not much you can do"...
There’s good reason why they were taken to near extinction. Then add rabbies and even a tiny bat can kill you.

Also parents: "My son joined a gang and got addicted to drugs".

First thing I thought
To many people unfamiliar with the wild take advice from the wrong people or don't bother asking before they do similar to the family attacked by the wolf , TAKE weapons suitable for defence against wild life in that area regardless of your politics .
@@williamlipsett5772 The problem is lack of self-reliance and confidence in one's ability to interact with nature in a way our ancestors have for millions of years. Most citiots have lost that. Very very very VERY few people will encounter wild areas where a firearm is an actual necessity. And the problem is that people become lazy and over-reliant upon them as a panacea.
People should read some Tom Brown Jr. He is an Apache-trained tracker and scout that has been used by law enforcement to track down some of their toughest cases. He relates one where he tracked an ex-Green Beret who went bonkers. And he utterly defeated him . . . by simply separating him from his "toys" he carried in like some umbilical cord from civilization and then watched as a nature he had zero respect for, beat him down.
Why would you sleep without a tent with children so dangerous.
You do it because coddling them away from the realities of life sabotages them over time. There are far more important and meaningful things in Life that just keeping our emotions safe. (And most of them involve the potential for putting our emotions in the moment, in peril.)
@Nobodyimportant I watch shows like this and still take groups of children out camping.
It's the same as people watching all kinds of crime shows and still going out in the city to live their life.
A tent isn't gonna stop an animal that wants to attack. Especially a wolf/cougar that's been kicked out its pack. They're desperate to eat and a flimsy tent isn't gonna stop him.
@Nobodyimportant It's called a "psychological barrier". It will has value against an animal predator who is just curious or opportunistic in its feeding.
@@The_turbo_engine Remember that animals don't think like human animals! Their instincts are constantly weighing potential risk and gain. And even a flimsy fluttering tent can be enough of an "unknown" to send them packing.
Especially if the noises of humans reacting to last night's campfire cuisine are emanating from inside it!

😅nice one!
I recently met a sheriff deputy who had a stuffed mountain lion in his house. I was there repairing his air conditioner. I asked him about the mountain lion, and he said that he shot it with a crossbow. Before hitting it with an arrow, the big cat had managed to flank a few of the hound dogs and killed them both. After the lion was hit, the group had to chase it down about a mile and half, and then the lion managed to dig his claws into the deputies back while being dispatched. This lion was not even fully grown, so it just goes to show how powerful these animals really are. I personally have seen mountain lions on two occasions. The first one was in Southern California and the second in Northern Arizona. Luckily, I was never attacked. In Arizona I was armed with a .40 caliber pistol, but even if you're armed chances are you will never see the attack coming. If you do manage to pull your weapon in time, it may take a few well placed head shots to take the mighty beast down.
Most animals have at least 3x the muscle density of humans. Which means a 100 lb bear or cougar would have no trouble besting a 300 lb person. An 80 lb chimpanzee could quite feasibly rip the limbs off an average person. (Jane Goodall discovered that chimps actually go to war and do this to members of competing troops, even if those individual chimps were once part of their their troop. She tried to conceal this information for decades, afraid that it would shatter the myth of the chimpanzee that the world so loved)

Now I will say a can of bear spray would be better than nothing and a knife or club.
Oh I’m sure all those liberals screaming for universal background checks really just want people to get eaten by wild animals. You realise that most NRA members agree with some form of gun laws? Also pretty sure you can take out a wild animal without an AR-15. So unless these people were on the terror watch list or planning on bring an AR-15, I’m not quite sure how you managed to make this into the prototypic argument about liberals hating guns…

I love how the comment sections on these videos are apparently full of survival experts.
Actually I'm a good ways through them -- and there seems to be FAR more people who are more afraid of their own negative emotions than of anything that might possibly manifest itself in any natural setting. And so many of the suffer a "perceptual dissonance" that would have them totally overlooking the 1300 kids killed annually by guns that are there allegedly to protect them (a huge proportion in urban and suburban settings) just to focus on 3 stories of peril in more natural (but to them far more alien) settings.
It manifests as a profound attempt to overlook an imagined danger fed by just a handful of stories, while overlooking a real danger right under their nose that is corroborated years after year by stats.
Yes, I chose the childhood death by firearm stat intentionally because so many people are also deluded into thinking a firearm is their "savior". But there are even more shocking stats about non-fatal shootings and a plethora of other dangers, close calls, injuries and deaths by other causes, factoring far higher in urban/suburban settings that out in wilderness. Even when you factor in per-capita.

Not a survival expert but who the hell sleeps out in the open in the wilderness? These parents are asking for death! Why would they do this with kids? When you have kids you always go above and beyond to make sure it’s a safe trip!
That is incredible the wolf is biting and eating his face and he doesn't wake up unbelievable. I said to my Granddaughter, "You guys sleep like you are dead." I am so glad the wolf didn't attack the little boy. Not saying that it wasn't a horrible attack, on the older son. With the little boy, the wolf may have dragged him away. TG the family got away.
I fail to understand how they chose to sleep out in the open in a wild life infested area, and no safeguards are arranged!
Yes, I mean our ancestors were SO stupid to go out and live life in a place and time when wildlife was arguably far more plentiful than now. 🙄
But seriously, if anyone cannot understand why people would not hide indoors all the time out of fear of the world that is our birthright, they understand nothing about our species over the past 190 million years. That you are afraid to live life doesn't mean everyone else should be. Even in hiding under your blankets you pays your money and takes your chances. There are FAR more "predatory animals" in the average large city than in 200,000 acres of pristine wilderness.
It's called open face camping where you can see the stars where you can breathe it's actually quite common
@cobainzlady Do you have any idea of how ancient peoples lived and moved around the landscape? (If not I would heartily recommend the book "Red Snake" by George McMullen. It dives deeply into the wooly metaphysical of a psychic medium, but strangely has received the nod of approval from Tribal members who still hold the stories of "ancient times".)
They only traveled as an entire tribe on rare occasions; even the seasonal migrators. Individual and small family-group travel was far more common.
Also, we have no evidence of just how many of these excursions involved campfires. Remember that a fire advertises one's presence to potential tribal enemies.
I know it's harsh, but those ancients who made poor choices and died for them . . . have no weight in this reality. Evolution and Nature has "judged them", and they are not our ancestors. We are not "the children" . . . of those who made poor choices.
Also people tend not to camp in city parks (crime-infested or otherwise) as prime reason, because it's illegal.
I appreciate the attempt to discuss, but you need to put a bit more thought effort into your points.
I hate the word "infested". This is where wildlife belongs.. In the wild! They probably think "Damn these people infesting what little habitat we have left!"
Wildlife infested 😅😅 my dude, the whole planet belongs to them. We are the infestation.

Those people shouldn't have children. Absolutely stupid and insane!
And then waste all that time trying to "find" or whatever the wolf instead of just immediately packing everything in the canoe and running fast to help!
Nearly all of these stories are about stupid peoples life struggles.
Its called the darwin awards for a reason.
Imagined if the one wolf had a whole pack the entire family would have been dinner
Yup that happens when you don’t set up a real camp and even then no chance to be safe
Savage - Beast if the wolf had a pack I doubt he would’ve ever attacked the family... he only went for the child cause he was small & being a lone wolf you can’t take on bigger prey like bears, moose, etc. which are what packs hunt. Maybe do some research before making a comment that makes you look uneducated.
I will say tho *very dumb* of the parents to decide not to set up tents in the middle of the woods especially when they don’t know what kind of animals & predators live there.

As a person who lives in Colorado, a place where you see Coyotes all the time, I can clarify that Coyotes are almost conpletely harmless. We often see them walking down certain streets, and walking in fields often, and they always run away because they are scared of humans. I constantly see them in my backyard, and they usually are only there because they are hunting small animals such as rabbits and squirrels. There is this one neighborhood Coyote, who constantly walks down my street, and catches all of the rabbits nearby. The only thing to really watch out for about Coyotes is rabies, and your small pets. One of my best friends lost her young kitten to a Coyote not too long ago, and it's always a good reminder that they are still predators. If you live in a Coyote area, be aware of your small pets, such as dogs, cats, and other small animals you may own. If you see a Coyote, keep your distance, but don't be alarmed. They are most likely just minding their own business and hunting.
If you ever see a Acme crate in coyote country DO NOT OPEN IT. BEEP BEEP
Yeah
If your a female please dont go out alone without a pistol. A couple hungry coyotes could easily eat you.
A coyote and a wolf are two very different things

All these types of programs showcase people with low IQs nearly dying due to their inability to correctly gauge life-threatening danger before it manifests itself.
I camped in a tent in Iowa once. The fear of being attacked by a wolf Spider was so great I didn’t sleep. I chalked it up to My survival instincts being really strong. I want to live!

As far as the cougar goes.... the thing I found when petting cougar that was raised from birth by a friend is that the cat feels like a blanket covering steel cables!
Lary Mayotte
I read a story where a guy was invited to a wild life center that housed a orphaned cougar that now acted as an animal ambassador.
They used to take it to schools to educate kids....but stopped when the animal started eying the kids as it grew up.
Well, this guys buddy invites him INTO THE COUGAR ENCLOSURE to pet it.
Fun fact. Hunter regularly donated deer organs and doe heads and the cougar LOVED to eat deer head...crunchy crunchy, yummy yummy.
Well, The is is petting the cougar, and the cat starts to lick us arm in response....was raspy and hurt a little but he thought nothing of it.
Then, when he got distracted, the cougar suddenly grabbed his arm in it’s mouth, and started slowly squeezing the arm in his mouth.
His buddy was to busy talking to notice this sudden action.
Well, he compared the force of the cougars jaw on his arm like a slowly tightening vice grip.
He looked dead in the cougars eyes (probably saved him from loosing the arm) and swore the cat looked dead back as if to ask,
“So what are you gonna do about this? I got you.....”
He kept eye contact with the cougar, but calmly as possible told his buddy that the cougar was biting him....
His buddy promptly smacked the cougar on the nose with a loud “NO” and thankfully the cougar let go and backed off.
His arm was thankfully ok.....skin was barely broken but you could clearly see the imprint of the teeth.
He concluded his tale by saying after that day his respect for wild animals went up a hundred fold.
He was not mad at the cougar, it was being a cougar. But the experience humbled him.
But he will NEVER AGAIN enter the enclose of a wild animal again, nor will ever own an exotic pet.
Thank you for that description. Most of us will never have an opportunity to pet one.
Weirdly enough spotted a cougar on a hunting property of a friend of my dads when I was about 10, he was up on a cliff I looked at it and was frightened but tried not to move and it looked at me but quickly lost interest and left. This was shortly after I found oldish cougar tracks thinking “oh that’s cool”. Never will I venture off alone again 😐
@@equarg domesticated cats do the same thing to show affection/play with each other and their owners, even a house cat could puncture skin if it wanted to so clearly the cougar didn't want to. Willing to bet this is just a cat trait. It also licked him first which is not aggressive
I'm glad the boy understands the wolf wasnt at fault. You were in his home.
The only reason we track down an attack like that is to be sure it's not sick. It's not normal behavior for a lone wolf. Same with all predators up here. We usually dart them now rather than kill, but we Def don't want a virus spread in our packs or cougars.
He had the right attitude.
Did the mom in the wolf attack story then say “We then got in the canoe and didn’t know where to go so were lost on the water for THREE HOURS????”
He literally lost his entire face and they’re paddling around in the dark in circles for hours?????
It’s as if the only other outdoor experience they had before this was a few hours in their back yard on a hammock!
And she STILL seems to not understand what SHE exposed the kids to! Acting as if laying in the dark wilderness could not possibly lead to any negative outcome?
Glad he’s ok - because of his own strength and nothing else.

That lady is lucky to make it , with how they were helping , smh 🤦🏾♀️ Friendship would have been terminated fa sho lol
Elizabeth Jones OMG THANK YOU I was saying the SAME thing. Granted it’s a wild animal but if it’s so concentrated, come from behind with a very large very heavy rock and bulldoze it’s face right off. Wtf is pulling a leg gonna do. And u mean to tell me 4 grown ppl couldn’t take down something 115 pounds?! It’s not like it’s a tiger or African Lion (400+ lbs). Idk, seeing my friend like that would’ve made me scared, but I would’ve charged at that lion.
@@Pilotalphapapa she made me so mad doing nothing just putting someone leg while she is dying. lol lol lol
@@arodxxclusive nah she went with the throw the bike at the ground way
I would never ever sleep in the open in the middle of the night, needless to say if i can even fall sleep.
And my worst fear is a spider..
Same here unless it was my own backyard and I had a pack of dogs & my guns and family around
I’d try to sleep on the branches of a tree.
Jesus Christ. The mountain lion one was intense. Fk that's gotta be a rough way to check out.
The sound too. Any time a survivor talks about the deep breathing of a bear, the growling of a wolf, or ear piercing screeching from a cougar, that's what gives me chills in my soul.
My grandfather told me this story about a rabid coyote when he was a boy, it went like this. He and his older brother Robert were out chopping wood and loading the wagon with it to bring back to the house for firewood. They must of been 10-12 at the time back in the 40’s. As they were chopping, all of the sudden Robert grabbed my grandpa and they jumped up in the wagon and Robert stood infront of my grandpa with the axe held ready to swing. My grandpa didn’t know what was going on until he saw the foaming coyote. Robert turned to my grandfather and whispered, DONT MOVE AND BE Quiet. They stood still for a few minutes as the rabid coyote kind of just looked around not being able to really see them or hear them because he was in the latter stages of rabies. Rabies affects the vision big time so my uncle Robert knew to not move a muscle. After a few minutes, maybe 2, my grandpa said it just turned and wandered off. They waited for about 10 minutes then stuck out home to get their daddy. He found and killed the rabid Yote. My Great Uncle Robert saved my grandpas life that day.
Glad you got through this, you look good and strong now dude. Thanks.
"Attack EVEN humans" as if we're more than dressed up fast food..
The wolf was just doing what it needed to do to survive he was on his own no family and hungry they was in his territory his home
Laura Xx exactly! He did not intend to harm. He did intend to hunt for food. It is the Wolf instinct. It is not wrong and he is not a danger when not in their territory because they are very territorial.
Moriganna Brown agree so much!!! Us humans need to respect there home we wouldn’t like it if they came invading our personal safe space
Well its a little late for that now huh?
@@RoseOhan Yeah leave it to these rare events where one has to be taken down.
Well said. To put it into perspective for people think about this: Someone breaks into your house, you think they may have weapons and see things you don't recognize, what would you do? Defend your home right? In the court of law (depending on the state) you can kill someone who breaks into your home. Just defending yourself by attacking them and not killing them? You will VERY likely not suffer any consequence under the law. So should the wolf suffer for a very similar thing?
This is why there is an advantage of having a kid nearby, so they can scream straight in the wolf's ears so he gets scared.
I feel terrible for the man who died from a cougar
The wolf didn't do anything wrong 😔
Of course it's a dangerous animal, it's a wolf, and you basically walked onto its plate.
The man did the right thing, scaring it away by showing dominance.
You're right, it's so sad for them, theyre just being animals, it's what they do, so, if you don't want to get hurt, then don't go to they safe place, it's just unfair for the poor animals, they are wilds, you can not blame them for that
Your so right ! The wolf didn’t do anything wrong ! It only almost bit a child’s head off but that’s so natural. The wolf should be rewarded actually
@@420pbomb the kid shouldn't be there, so if you're going to blame the wolf, the kid deserve it, he was invading foreign territory
I’m agreeing with you ! A totally innocent kid camping in the woods was asking for his head to be ripped off and eaten alive in front of his parents! It’s like when a girl wears skimpy clothing she’s asking for it
@@420pbomb these two situations do not compare at all. A wolf needs to eat to survive and is a wild animal.
A rapist is just a rapist.
Kkkk I always love how the experts KNOW what the animal is thinking
Open air sleeping in the woods is not recommended.
michael dixon imagine if there where bears there 🔥🙄🙄
Amen to that. I live deep in side the mountains and surrounded by nothing but woods. extremely wildlife here. We highly recommend to travel in woods in a pack
And I live in Tennessee USA
caramel Greer Peoole often underestimate predatory wildlife in America.
Yes. We are far weaker, less competent and more delusional than our ancestors of the past 190 million years!
21:00 One of the best stories ever. The coyote met his match, picked the wrong guy to mess with XD. I luv how the man handled the situation perfectly. I know it's not to laugh about, but really kinda funny too how a beautiful day turned into sudden chaos lolz, really wasn't expecting that to happen. His mower suddenly ran out of gas and the door is locked lol. He's a great guy!
Piggy wife love sleep
Imagine the damage a pack of wolves could do. There really isn't anything more deadly than a pack of full grown wolves.
I don't think these people are okay in their head
A pack is extremely dangerous. They are smart, and coordinated and determined! They do know what a team work actually is.
Wonder please continue to make more I shouldnt be alive series ❤️❤️ i love them❤️💜❤️
I hope the parents learnt from their mistakes that couldve cost them their children's lives
Nah they never did. They left me out in the woods all alone as a sacrafice to the wolf gods when I was six. They wouldn't let me back in until I was bit. Now me and my brother have matching scars. It's pretty cool
They made no mistakes...
I'm glad the woman survived and is okay she is so lucky to be alive . Most people don't survive a mountain lion attack. Once they grab u they won't let go. They will do everything they can do to finish u off. The friend was brave enough to try to save her . Mountain lions dont scare that easily but when u try grabbing thier prey they show u whos boss the friend is lucky it didn't turn on her. Im glad they r both okay . But when ur mountain lion territory be prepared.
I live in San Francisco and occasionally I see them wonder in the city.
I rather be attacked by a bear than a mountain lion mountain lions grab on than go straight for the jugular stick their claws on ur back and ur basically dead
Pffft save her? Imagine thinking she even did anything to help her friend..
Literally there's huge rocks to smash the animal's head in and she doesn't do that
@@Malenia128 what's even more weird, those men were throwing rocks, when woman was between them and cougar. Could hit eighter of two women, and killed them off
Just look at house cats for example, when they're hunting for birds, rats, Squirrels, chipmunks, they will go for the kill and they grab them by the neck and you can see how they do it. Once they're hooked onto something they don't get easily distracted. So seeing how house cats hunt should give anyone a clue how big cats hunt
90% percent of the budget for this episode was used on the Teeth / Boot graphic so they had to show it 65 times even though it didn't happen.
Well appreciated.when man forgets real face of nature
All that woman did by dragging her friends leg was making the cougar think another predator wanted its' meal. So it fought harder to keep it. Stupid.
Alex Tomlinson and playing tug-o-war with it is only gonna cause more damage to her friend in the cougar’s jaws.
I can understand she was terrified but use your bike to hit the Cougar!...
@@egagnon9994 Or a rock for god's sake!
So , a cougar is chewing on your head and then someone starts tugging
on your leg...!?!?
They are worse than pits. It's how they are. Built to hold and strangle for very long times.
Grab its tail from behind. Don't yell and snap its tail or hind legs. They will let go quick into the woods.
Hey you know what else is dangerous? Cars. So you probably shouldn't go out near the road, and yell out a bunch of engine noises, and then goto sleep on the highway.
A brilliant balance on all of this weeping and moaning about how dangerous pristine natural settings are! Your child is in far more potential danger in your own home (and certainly while traversing an urban area) -- and far more likely to be shot by the very weapon so many are moaning "was not present" . . . than attacked by wildlife.
Yes, it happens.
But so too, does Life! A LOT of moaners need to get one.
@It's a BunnayYou never know when an intelligent person to carry a wonderful conversation with, will emerge from the cloud of fools!
So are you the former, or the latter?
@@griz063 ....🙃lol
No tent and no fire in the Canadian wilderness is not a smart idea! My brother as a teenager was hunting in Ontario and was circled by seven wolves while in a ravine. He was able to scare them off with warning shots, but no way would i sleep outside without protection and a fire! There are predators in the woods, you need to be prepared!
I lived in Algonquin Provincial Park when I was a small child because my father was a Ranger. We lived in a small cabin. No one ever mentioned wolves at all. They did mention bears and cautioned me to stay near the cabin and not go off on trails. It was a beautiful life there on the shores of Grand Lake.
That's right, so safe sleeping on the dirt with no protection at all...
People REALLY need to learn to manage their high Trait-Neuroticism. There are far far far more stories of people (children included) slaughtered within their own 4 protective walls than out sleeping in some beautiful wilderness area on the ground.
when you watch shows like this it really makes you think how horrible life can be
Life is fantastic. Its the stupidity and evilness of people that spoil it.
Why didn't they immediately get into their boats and bugger off ?
I really appreciate these videos. It allows me to learn lesson in the safety of home and to be hyper vigilant when I am in that environment. Nature is no joke. It is unpredictable.
POV, nature is not unpredictable, it is very predictable...you are in THEIR home...they are not invading us, we are invading them...
Also don't let rare stories stop you from enjoying nature. I am a single mom with 2 kids. This last summer we spent 4 weeks in the mountains in our tiny camper and I had a zip line going over the creek. Just be smart! We also have 2 German shepards, lol.
The lady’s friend was so brave , she was fighting with all her might .
Unprepared. No tent even. Smh.
What were they thinking? Stupid parents camping at night in the woods without a weapon. smh!
Vincent Key what else would help them in that situation
maria battles
At least carry a baseball bat, a good knife handy 24/7, and bear spray.
Plus use your head, don’t panic, and for God’s sake don’t act like prey!
Gotta cover yourself while sleeping. Guns, pepper spray, knife, or bat won’t help you if you awake to a mouth around your soon-to-be broken neck.
@@nugnugnugget8717 In their defense, they did say weapon, not specifically a gun. A bat, knife, club, taser, mace, etc. could also be considered weapons. I'm pretty sure an axe is vital when camping in the woods. I don't really know of any survivalists that go into the woods with large predators without at least a pocket knife
Welllllllll, they probably be loved they would be safe especially because most aninals are more scared of us then we are of them, so they where probably under the beliefs of two things. 1) there where no majorly dangerous things around not to mention while out they may not have seen wolf droppings and 2) Wolfe's don't do that much same with many other animals as of them being scared of us humans knowing what we can and can not do. Not trying to sound mean or mad or just rude overall I just wanted to add my own input on it
Humans amaze me! Mom, out in the wilderness with her baby, says, "Yes, all you men go have fun on the river, The baby and I will just stay here and make dinner." as if she is in her suburban kitchen!!! So glad this child made it through this attack! This is why I would NEVER go into the wilderness with a stupid man with no rifle or gun that he knew how to use!
THEN when his face is literally bitten off they get in the canoe- get lost and paddle around for THREE HOURS as if he was not bleeding to death and in agony. His nose was broken in 5 places and they got lost in the lake for 3 extra hours. They truly define “not outdoorsy”
Not everyone believes in breaking the law. You obviously do.
Yes it amazed me too, so naive... "Here we come we own everything"... When they are on other beings territory, and have not the language to grasp nature. Sad to say but the parents are responsible alone. Naivity very often comes with a big price, we women know this. Tough world it is, but so it is.
YT people. Black people don't do stupid stuff like this
Am so upset that these parents put their kids out there in the bush like that. Lazy to pitch the tent . If was a tiger or lion that boy wouldn’t survive. Am glad he survived.
Lions don't live in forests or even jungles. No tigers in that forest either
I’m amazed that he didn’t wake up when the Coyote attacked him
Wolf. Sorry
Coywolf
I know?! Who sleeps that deeply? I would've woken up at the sound of a crunching stick!!
@@RS54321This crazy you are getting bitten that alone is painful how deep could one really sleep
I live in the country of Oklahoma and I live near a nature reserve in my subdivision and my house backs up to a lake, so I have seen snakes, snapping turtles, coyotes and mountain lions, they usually aren’t seen so I feel safe but they are dangerous. I love animals and I respect them.
So in third story all the male cyclists stood at distance n pelted stones when a female cyclist actually went there to save her from the cougar
It would be a tragic comedy if they killed the cyclist with the stones. I bet atleast 1 stone hit the cyclist!
mit gosai yea and she’s alive because of those males
@@reneluna5340 no she's alive because her friend held on for dear life preventing the mountain lion from draging her into the bush and finishing her off. Just like it did to the male cyclist before. And because of the friends screaming the 2 males came running to help and it was the combined efforts of everyone that finally ran it off. If her friend had turned tail and run she would have been mauled to death quickly. She was completely defenseless. They will be best friends until the end of their days. I can see them now...rocking out on the front porch talking bout the olden days...gossiping and bragging about their grandchildren. This friends determination and love made me emotional. This is the type of friend you want....she didn't hesitate or think about herself. There was no "what if." There was only that moment in time and the certainty that she was going to die trying if she had to💕
Yes, I noticed 🙄
Good video. Thanks for sharing... 👍👀👍
Debbie sure goes to show big balls got nothing to do with it, huh! Wow she is a hero. Brave❤️
Thank you God for the help of this.
When the father said he was gonna destroy! the wolf, he was serious!,,, what one will do for Love is amazingly beautiful...
Wolves have an extremely low attack rate on humans in North America. Wolves kill a lot more in Asia. Dogs are a lot more dangerous than wolves.
"There was definitely a sensation of pressure on my face." Oh yea I'm sure I mean it's a freaking wolf dude
Honestly, killing a rabid animal is really doing it a service. Rabies is awful and painful and miserable and killing it would put it out of its misery too, in addition to protecting people. Honestly putting it down is the best thing even if it wasn’t dangerous.... end it’s suffering
"It's everyone worst nightmare, being eaten alive by a wild animal" Never thought about it but I do now, thank you☠️
While living in Alaska, a group of us were riding our bicycles around Cooks Inlet in Anchorage. We had been warned that a pack of wolves had been killing and eating dogs that were on the trail. They'd send 1 wolf out onto the trail, to act as a decoy. When the jogger and their dog would see the lone wolf, the dog-ranging in size from mastiff to shepherd-would take after the wolf, the pack would attack the dog, killing, and eating it.
We had seen moving shadows while biking in the heavily wooded areas. Bears, moose, and wolf live there. While returning to our parked autos, I looked up to see a wolf quietly stalking me. And more of them in the shadows. We didn't have dogs or any pets with us, so we had to be the prey!
I do wonder if this wolf had rabies or something, it is extremely rare for a lone wolf to attack a whole family. I have in fact NEVER heard of such an incident.
… til now
Liberals over there hate guns
If that wolf was hungry enough it definitely would go for them while they slept.
It's said in video that he/she had been ostracized from/kicked out of the pack. Now a lone wolf without the pack for backup, he became a desperate predator. Might have also become rabid.
