Grizzly Bear Attack Survivors Share Their Stories | Human Prey | Wonder 

Abraham Rodriguez he wasn’t a truck driver. His name was Ray Kitchen and had his own business in Fort Nelson, BC

true that rip

@@marleen6507 There must be a mistake in this video as it says he's a truck driver.

@@HobbyOrganist Hi... I think that anyone who takes on a rampaging bear has to have an idea that he may not walk away from it. For me, this shows he was very brave and a hero as he lost his life trying to save two people he didn't even know.

Lunaluck 10 he has driven trucks, he had a business in Fort Nelson. I knew Ray well. They’re is a park in Dawson Creek named after Ray. It is called kitchen park.

Thank you for sharing. 🌹🌹

And?

@@sweetwentworth and nothing I just wanted to share. Does it some how bother you?

Hi Toni! That's an awesome story! I'd be so proud too! Thanks ! Love from Australia 💐🌻💐

Hey can I see the pictures?

I cried lol

It’s crazy that parental instincts were on both sides of the attack. Just an interesting observation

Hiking unarmed in bear country is extremely risky.

I used ti live close to this area in the late 80's. I wonder if the park ever placed a memorial for this man's bravery.

The most brutal attack i have heard of...damnn

oh god it’s awful. he literally sacrificed his life for the boy💔 such a strong man

They were ALL brave, the boy, the nurse, the trucker, all the other people that ran to help! Amazing! Shows how much we need guns.

Yea, I agree. Sad & traumatic.

@@kathy888 yeah what would you do without a gun when you go shopping...

@@MisTracy39TheVeganLady yes you are right. I'm just assuming he was.

@@MisTracy39TheVeganLady Your a COMPLETELY brainwashed IDIOT.

I am so thankful that religion is on its way out the door FINALLY.

@@ezekielnow425 Your just another brainwashed idiot, who obviously cannot think for yourself, to the extent that you have to follow the other dumb sheep.

@@hamishford5486 It's really not about Religion. It's about GOD, the SON and the TRUTH. Please start searching. Just because you have this negative opinion does not mean you are right.

If you honestly think about it the whole situation was his fault. If he truly wanted to protect his daughter he would understand and not have been so ignorant towards the possibility of seeing a bear. He should have came prepared with a gun as well not just bear spray that isn't tucked away and at the very least, TEACH HIS DAUGHTER HOW TO USE IT. lmfao

@@kavoro8951 I agree. I also think he may of had the foolish notion of it'll never happen to me. Most of the time we hear these horror stories and we rarely think it'll happen to us so we go into a situation completely unprepared and ignorantly blind to the fact that if we don't take precautions we increase our chances of it actually happening to us.

You got daddy issues?

I so wanna blame him for going straight into a bear country without even a gun or at the very least teaching her daughter how to use that spray, but seeing the pain he has gone through to save his daughter and his tears made me feel so sorry for him. He made me cry too. This was a very intense episode...

@@jeazelbeson8038 not amazing quite stupid actually- should have used bear spray first and not confront bear head on. Then just kept jumping off ledges leaving his daughter to fend for herself. Also not teaching her how to use spray is negligent

This is why I go to cities for a vacation

Thanks for the comment. It lifted my spirit.

The mother died...

It’s no wonder that the US president at the time posthumously gave him an award of courage.

I couldn't imagine doing anything less for my kids and especially grandkids. And shame on someone who wouldn't.

What?? That’s expected! I’m seriously not sure how they deserve applause for protecting their own child?

It is what any parent would do for their child without even thinking about it

Huh?

Do you know a father who wouldn't?

I know😊😊

Not bad at all.

Miraculous

They could've just stayed still and not looked at the bear ...

Yeah that was insane. Good lord.

He didn’t protect her enough, he took her to the bears kitchen 🙄

@@skye6066 ? Are u saying the dad didnt do enough?

@@skye6066 hey :) I know you probably didn't mean any harm as someone who also makes pretty dark jokes, but hiking is a pretty regular thing for a lot of people and not to mention that people don't really expect themselves to be brought into this situation. Bear attacks are also rare, so we can't blame him for going into it. These are real people with real stories. They both probably have PTSD from this and I don't think saying it's the dad's fault is okay, especially since this is a guilt that he'll live with forever. We probably shouldn't be saying things like that even if it was harmless :)

@@CoffeewithLittleCream I personally enjoy nature and exploring but I’m cautious about where I go. I personally don’t want to fight a bear, wolf, etc. so I don’t go into there habitat. To each their own. He took her there. I wouldn’t take my children into a place where they have to fight the wild just to stay alive.

@@iplaygrowtopia9639 nope…he did what he could but at the same time he put her in harms way.

Indeed he was. Saved that young man's life.

Bet he regretted it while he was getting torn apart.

@@majesticcamels4198 I am sure he did

No brave people dont regret it. Courage takes a lot, apparently we got 3 more ball less people in this chat. Why not? Why not give your life for someone else? That boy was just 13, thats somebodys baby. That woman died, Im sure she would've someone to be brave enough to help him. Wouldn't you guys mom want the same? I wouldnt go down without a fight, I wont surrender until I know Ive dont it all within my power.

You dont know that paul harvey. People do things they thought theyd never do when danger happens. Survival instincts kick in. You dont think about the future but the present danger. Seen self sacrificing strangers save children without a second hesitation, like me. My worst fear is being eaten alive, bears like hyneas eat you while you are alive through your stomach or backend..Nightmare fuel! But i jumped between a charging black bear and a 3 yr old without my side arm, only knife in my hand because i was cooking. Picked him up like a football and ran towards my truck, where my shotgun was laying on tailgate. My son dropped him 10ft away from me & terrified precious boy. I put boy on the tailgate and shot one more time for safe measure Over muscle twitching but my son killed him instantly. That child was from different camp, Whos urbanite parents thought it was safe for him to wonder off. Thank god my son countered my reaction & had a accurate shot. I just reacted, i didnt know him but I went in momma bear protecting baby mode on a male bear during hyperphagia. Not one day goes by do i regret that decision. Now i get to know campers around me& educate them. I have a dog who's a predator deterrent and my side arm never leaves my side! So better to over prepare than put yourself in harms way! But you never know your capabilities until its needed!

Losing* Use one 'o' Lose-losing-lost. There is no 'loosing' in English. Loose is an adjective.

Same ,,that was so very sad. I'm terrified of bears even though I think they r beautiful I still wouldn't want to come in contact with one in the wild. They were all brave to try to help other people that were being attacked , so very sad.

I can't imagine the ptsd that that boy would have. So heartbreaking !

Hummingbird 22 I wish I could be friends with that guy and help him through things just as a support. I have severe c-ptsd myself and I would volunteer to be a ptsd trauma buddy haha. He seems so super genuine and kind.

Yes, he is.God bless him.

That's sweet and I think she's still there looking down on him and proud.

He's an awesome kid for trying to save his mom. His mom was lucky to have such an awesome kid

But if I was him I would hate bears for the rest of my life and think of them as nothing but monsters that love the taste of human flesh and I never take my kids or girlfriend camping or even close to the woods. Why should you have to bring weapons to go camping to make sure that your family is safe? You shouldn't have to. Why are there starving bears hanging out at a public park?

@@juliemitchell8807 your sense of entitlement is astounding. If someone decides to go camping in known bear country, then the responsibility falls on the camper to do the proper research of the species of bear there. It is wrong to hate an animal. You don’t think, we as humans, are not directly responsible for these terrible encounters ? Humans need to remember that if you go into the bush , then it is us who have to remember we are not the only predators.

The whole thing was a recipe for disaster

that real common sense

Even a knife.... a well placed blade would've ended the attack on his mother

When I go hiking I always have bear spray and I carry a Bolo, -- a large Filipino knife!👍💪🦍

I know right. That has Darwin Award written all over it. If I was going to an area that is known to have bears I would be sure to have multiple lines of defense. I would be armed with a gun, a machete, a hunting knife, and bear spray. lol

Almost a sacrifice

Kay Ka Nut that daughter was utter useless... like who goes on a trip in the wilderness with your only means of protection being a can of bear spray and she doesent even know how to use it.. like how was that not discussed or explained before the trip...

@@jacubtscorpio5084 it's sad to say that, but you're right..

Bearly

Hi I agree with you U look so pretty 😍❤️

He saved the life of that boy. Such bravery.

Was very surprising that the truck driver didn’t get attacked.

Well here is a hug for him and a cookie 😁!

And for you!

Breaks my heart So sad. 😥 Rest in peace mom

She managed to give her last words tho, i wish i had that with my mom

Amen to that ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The second hunter was so coward. Holding gun and watching his friend being attacked. Even a 13 year kid had courage to hit bear with just a stick to protect his mom

@@marycarroll2459 im trying to imagine myself in that situation right now and i think i would have been able to fire a gun (learned how to use one, actually) but hitting the bear with a stick directly? That teen is so brave and he's my new role model. I know I wouldn't have been able to do that. And he's a year younger than me too? My gosh

Yes incredibly selfless kind man. Really respect him.

I agree that man should be recognized he sacrificed himself to save that kid. He went to heaven . That's a good person and shows there are still good in our humanity

Kia Wabason wth? Why does a hunter have a gun and not use it!!

Kia Wabason exactly! I mean seriously. They brought their rifles to hunt an animal and they have a life or death situation and they are timid to use it?! I think their lives are more important than a future meal they were planning. Sheesh. I just don’t understand the hesitation to use their guns!

Same

Some people haven’t experienced high levels of adrenaline like in a bear attack and it paralyzes them.

Yea it would be less painful

When people feed bears or leave their trash available, bears lose their fear of humans and eventually see humans as food.

Humans get pretty aggressive when they're starving, too.

This is typically only true if they have little to no experience with people. They’re not as timid as once would expect, and I say this as someone from BC with multiple black bear encounters. There’s a huge issue with black bears becoming accustomed to people and all that comes with us. Believe it or not, but in Canada black bears are actually responsible for around 70% of all incidents. Although their attacks are typically defensive rather than predatory. Grizzles do make up for the largest amount of fatal attacks but at the end of the day never underestimate a black bear. Due to being more skittish by nature they’re easier to spook into a defensive attack.

​​​@@kaelinn510actually you have that backwards.. black bear attacks are actually much more likely to be predatory in nature, while Grizzly attacks are majority defensive. This is why you play dead for grizzly, and not for black bear. Because if a black bear is attacking you it is likely actively intending to eat you and playing dead will not help, while playing dead is often effective in the end for a grizzly attack. So its kind of a catch-22.

@@mrdark9916No no, they were right. Grizzly bears usually attack for prey and black bears are less aggressive and more defensive.

Thats what I'm trying to say lmao, ime happy that the bear attack the 2nd friend lmfao

@NoStressZone ya.. tho.. He's brave heheh.

Exactly

Right??? I'd rather get shot than mauled to death!!

no he was stoopid. he became casualty #3 instead of getting proper help for the situation.

@@areyouavinalaff Well I hope if your life in danger and you badly need help, no one would help you 😂 stupid negative human. Tsk.

@@DianaRoseYanni i hope the person gets proper help i dont think he was being negative aside from the stoopid remark but even then its the truth if you ask me....

@Truth Armour you're an idiot, dead men don't help anyone.

@@DianaRoseYanni And just why should his life ever be in danger.? I guess it is because we failed to clean up the dangers in our lives. Life they say is much harder to live if your stupid.

Exactly!!!!😮Wtf

It's a defense mechanism most people have in order to just go on with day to day life. You get into a car because you don't think a horrific accident will happen to you.

These people are stupid af. They actually think they’re untouchable. Plus do you really think they got attacked 4 times by a grizzly and only got a few scratches? Hahahaha 😂 lmfao. Yet, a black bear that usually never attacks people, kills two. Yeah, sure. They’re full of chit

Human hubris. I commented abt they same thing. It is human arrogance.

Yes he really was a hero. Very selfless man.

I have to agree with you. Awful story that I don't wish on anyone but take a dang gun or don't go to bear infested areas! Well...or expect to be eaten by one!

@@BS-dq1kz it's just like entering into a place where lions and tigers are..Very very sorry for all the dying and injured victims...

Straight to Heaven

mothers proud of him from heaven

That truck driver too. A hero's death.

@@katherinerichardson2273 That made me cry inside bc he was literally eaten alive.

If it wasn't for that truck driver the kid would of been dead.

@@smawllboii9030 That made me sick as to why people hike in bear country without bear spray, or even hike or camp in bear areas at all ???

Yes learn how to use it also.

It's just like knowing how to use a fire extinguisher. Everyone should know how to use it before a fire breaks out. They remind us how to use them every year at work. There's never been a fire but it's important to be prepared.

gloria they learned good way

Ty A yeh, no kidding I carry bear spray always when out in the woods.

@brian bowes That's not true, read all the articles.

Absolutely stupid!!!

these people are braindead who tf goes with his daughter to bear country. no gun no big group to scare of a bear so dumb kekk.

He might have known how but she didn’t. Also when you are in danger you are in a fight or flight situation and not thinking straight

People who go in to the wilderness needs a gun and bullets in it. Spray is a deterrent but, have it in your hand at least. Why do people go off the beaten track ....? Its foolhardy. Its easy to walk but, why walk or hike in a dangerous area? I certainly would not be putting my hand up to go there.

They voted democrat in every election.

Right

ikr

How that funny

@@alexsudduth8202 funny as in interesting/ odd

The bear wouldn't have to worry but me. I would be running in the opposite direction.

That is so sad! Watching this now, when I heard he jumped into to save them, made me bawl my eyes out. It was the only part I cried at- was when I found out he tried to help first, and then died trying. The only reason that boy is alive is because of that man. He’s so brave, I wished I could have known him. People like that are the most precious on this planets. God Bless Ray Kitchen, a jewel of a man, taken too soon 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

He went down as a real life hero, may he r.i.p

I tip my hat to this man. For saving that boy and prayers for his family and the boys family

I remember reading about that attack and Ray dying. So extremely sorry.

I didn't know Mr. Kitchen, but I believe you wholeheartedly that he was a great person and quite evidently, he was a brave man. I'm glad to know he was honored by those who knew him, as I expect he was honored by the lord himself in heaven. May he rest in peace!

No greater love hath a man than to give his life for another...

So sad 😞

Kelly should be remembered for the bravery he displayed at 13 trying to save his mother by risking his young life.

So frustrating

Right? The gun give some distance, is hope I’d try to jab it in the eye or smth

So unfortunate tho :((

Yess! I mean, the gun can shoot from a distance, what a coward smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

His friend did the same couple of idiots

So much for experienced hikers...

U need atleast a katana if u wanna 1v1 a bear

They should make that spray EASY TO USE. AT one time it would have been simple but now everything is complicated. the company should take into consideration --if you need to use it then you do not have time to remember the complicated instructions.

You need karate skills to defeat a bear

Don't let the bear put you on a bear hug

Bear spray isn't good enough to rebel a bear attack. Bearing a handgun, shotgun, or AR-15 arm is.

James O'Brien -- saw a vid of a bear charging a man. He shot the thing close range near the head/shoulder area with a friggin shot gun. The bear tripped for just a split second before running off. The man went out expecting to see a dead bear on the ground some distance away, but found nothing. No blood trail either. My point is a shotgun will work, and I’m sure a rifle as well, but probably not a hand gun unless it’s essentially a mini rifle. Lol Pepper spray is super risky. Might work, might not according to a ranger I listened to in a RU-vid video.

@@thomaspayne6866 Yeah, the more powerful the gun, the better off someone is. Lol

bear spray? Lolwut

These guys are special

I know, WTF! Your buddy is going to get malt to death if you don't take a shot. Might as well take a chance because he's going to die for sure if you don't. Besides, you have a huge grizzly bear and your friend is on the ground, you have a hunting rifle with a scope, not that you need the scope of that range. So, why can't you shoot again? How bad of a shot do you have to be if you are worried about hitting him? I know things happen fast and the adrenaline is flowing. I know I'm second-guessing and I wasn't there, so I realize it's not as easy as I make it sound, but still it seems like he should have taken at least one shot while his friend was getting mauled

I Dont understand 😳Idiots

@@Marco-fi6gv They didn't wanna waste the shot in case the bear 're-turned' on them, besides, being Christians, they knew the other would be in a better place if they should carc?

@@SeriousSchitt lots of assumptions there. Like it is certain that the bear is mulling my friend and I need to do something. It is certain if you do nothing more damage gets done possibly fatal damage. They never mentioned that they were running out of ammo so that is an assumption as well. Here's one more, the guy could keep getting mauled so badly and still live. Imagine living with no eyes, ears and half your brain. Is that a better place? Fortunately for them, it all worked out, but they were extremely lucky because most of the time it doesn't go that way

You've also got to carry a side arm. I can't believe people would venture into the backcountry without anything to fight against danger.

It should be illegal to hike in bear protected areas without mace and animal prevention training, like along with the mace you carry a certificate or you get thrown off the hike.

She should have read it also she is in college and should have wanted to know how to use it I know I would have but me I would have been locked n loaded anyway in the woods

you dont really think its gonna happen to you

Crazy

Even a gun won't stop it unless you have a semi-automatic rifle.

It happens with fire extinguishers too

😵😵😵👎☝️😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fr read the directions while you were sitting on that ledge.

Yeah I couldn’t just not do anything.

It seems like the friend would have shot off at least a warning shot to scare the beer away from his friend instead of waiting until he practically ran the gun down the Barefoot to pull the trigger which didn't work

Yeah man....if the guy wasnt smart and pulled up the rifle he would have been dead... WTF

Plus where was that god thing they spent their lives devoted to as pastor and deacon, and the one they worship didnt even bother lifting a finger to help, the only finger he lifted with the middle FU finger it looked like

@@HobbyOrganist here we go again

My theory is that each of the two took the other out hiking hoping that a bear would attack and kill the other one. That really is the only way I can make sense of their actions: dont shoot at bear or even fire warning shot when the other is being attacked. Only fire weapon when you are being attacked by bear.

thank you!

That is the same thing I was thinking. These two are unbelievable.

It's easy to say what should've been done and what you would've done when you haven't been in the situation.

@@theedgyteenager9383 Exactly. What if they decided not to shoot for fear that they'd kill their friend on accident? I saw someone say "better shot than eaten alive", but it's probably a much more difficult decision in the moment when you know if you miss, you'd have to live with killing your friend. On top of that they may have thought that he was more likely to survive a mauling than being shot. I think people in this comment section need to exercise a little empathy... It's easy to say what we would have done when we're comfortably sitting at home and experiencing this situation only in the hypothetical.

Yeah the bullets in the hunters guns were probably smaller than the bears teeth and claws so it would have done less damage than letting his friend get mauled by the bear even if he missed and hit his friend by mistake.

ivan galesic Thank you. That’s sad. Can’t act appropriately when needed the most.

In a heartbeat, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a bear to save anyone from a bear attack.

What if you shoot your friend instead and kill him/her instead of the bear?

Unwxanted Bears are a pretty big target, if you miss that bad youre a danger with firearms and shouldnt have them

spootles okay but like the bear moves around a lot and what if it moves when your about to shot it

​@@coreym162 No it's NOT! IT'S A WAY OF LIFE. That's like saying it's epic misjudgement to drive on the freeway. Wtf?

Was thinking that. I mean, the bear is devouring your friend, at some point you commit to a shot even if there's the risk of hitting your friend. Better dying to a shot than eaten alive.

Totally agree. I just wrote a huge paragraph on how I feel about that and how If I was Johnny I would've cut off mckoy and gave him a piece of my mind letting him know how much of a coward vagina he is

This whole episode was ridiculous. These people are literally on the edge of asking to be eaten.

I can’t believe both men didn’t have each other’s back! Friends like that who needs enemies?

Depending on the national park if you're allowed to carry a gun inside or not. That's why they suggest to hike in a group of 4 or more when entering bear country and to always carry bear spray. I refused to hike in too far in the mountains in Montana but I had practiced with the bear spray just in case something was to happen and when I did hiked, I made sure it was populated with people.

Exactly dear..they are trespassing their territory ...but I don't agree with shooting down the bear because that mother bear has got two cubs and it was trying to protect her babies. If we put her down who's gonna raise the cubs..she is not at fault the people are at fault..

You should be ashamed of him. He stood there with a gun while his friend was getting mauled and did nothing...

@@CS-uc2oh he was trying to make sure he wasn’t going to shoot his friend, you know since he was getting attacked and they (bear and Gary) were both moving around. What do you think he should’ve instead?

She could have read it while.she was in the bushes and not been bitten just sprayed when it walked up

Everyone has a plan until it happens. It's terrifyingly fast and often you are ambushed and don't have time to even think, let alone react. Yes ppl should be better prepared but I don't judge because I haven't been in the situation. I hope I would have time to react with my self defense I always carry but sometimes it just happens so fast you are bowled over before you even know what's happening. The most dangerous bear attacks have no warning and no time to even react. Bears can outrun a racehorse and are very intelligent. Truly powerful, terrifying animals.

Crystal Universe I just want you now

Go in their territory accept the consequences, humans eat animals why shouldn’t they eat us, it should be the hunters that get attacked

His story is also on RU-vid somewhere. I've watched it but can't recall exactly what happened. Seems like he was maybe just outside his home? Could be wrong on that though.

He ran from a grizzlie after surprising it and got mauled... can Google his name for the full story Dr Barrie Gilbert

@NY UK so humanity is rare nowadays?

I know right. That’s why I’m not judging. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if faced with these situations.

@@a.l.michael6240 - the truth is that none of us know until it is us. Fifth-quarter touchdowns don't win games.

It would be stupid, I live here in Wasilla. Were constitutional carry up here

Seriously. It's like swimming in Queensland Australia not expecting to get attacked by a Great White.

You got that right, these victims deserve what they got. Never go hiking or camping in the wilderness with out a firearm, for protection, and carry Bear spray, some people don't like carrying a firearm. But common sense tells you that.

@@christopherarnett2851 depends on the gun and ammo type any pistol caliber is gonna feel like a bee sting too the bear let alone bug shot rounds. Hell a black bear shrugged off a shotgun bug shot round too the foot as if it was nothing.

Dont shot the animals, guns are for cowards.....

Uh no, they were ALL incredibly stupid

grizzlies are nothing in Africa

R/wooosh

Exactly....an explanation is absolutely neccessary when u walk in BEAR COUNTRY then get attacked by a bear. 🤨

Susie Bear33 true tho

Steven Hickman, i know the joke..... *kid*

3.3 million visitors to glacier national park last year. Your odds of getting hurt by a bear at the park are as low as winning the lottery. Much more likely to die in a car accident on your way to the park.

Sho Razorblade can’t you see their scars?! How insensitive of you

@@MissCV - it's okay because after the initial attack (crash), the vehicle is not going to continue attacking you as these enraged huge animals do.

That's my thought. Go off the beaten path with your bear fog not accessible and 🤗surprise a bear comes out of bear infested woods and attacks🤗 i can't imagine anyone surviving these attacks. Those who do are lucky

@barcaman101 bear attacks happen in many places not just the parks. I live in the woods and have come into contact with bears, mountain lions, Bobcats, moose and etc. simply just around my house. If I wasnt careful I could have had much worse outcomes in those meetings. All it takes is living in the woods, no need to even venture from your property. One of my neighbors had a bear attack their car with them in it. Luckily no humans were harmed after it went off but it did get some animals since there is a farm and it got someone's dog that I know of. And you are more likely to get injured at the beach. Jellyfish, sea urchins, sting Ray's, sharks and etc exist. I almost stepped on a sting ray at the beach once, scary as hell because it had quite the barb

Totally agree!!

Not knowing how to use your bear spray and leaving your cell phone back at camp - mandatory!

Ye ya know I go down the every Thursday at 3:30am

I live in bear infested territory, not everyone wants to live in the city!!

Well Alaska is about 96 percent wild undeveloped country lots and lots of forrests tall mountains and tough wild country mixed in with swamps misquitoes And a great diverse collection of wild animals and mountains and more trees then you could imagine In fact if laid out over the lower 48 It covers over 90 percent of the states. Florida to California and Texas to Minnesota. ...and most is uninhabited.. ..well save for the animals and the indigenous natives.

@@danosverige ikr if you don't do that your a clown lol 😂

Ya I’m moving to the North Pole............oh wait they have polar bears!

🤔 Afraid an ant might attack and kill ya?!

Carry a 10MM Glock

Mekongman good choice. I like my 12 guage loaded with brenneke black magic slugs.

@@mekongman3339 At a minimum. Bring what you have. I have a S&W M&P 2.0 .40cal with 200 grain double tap ammo if I'm in the woods. I'd like to get me a Glock 10mm with the same 200 or 220 grain bullets.

😔

Are you afraid of Winnie the Pooh

@@pango-y8j not hardly

The fact that I never considered that my bear spray might fail is embarrassing. Not that I've ever been anywhere that I would need it, but thank you for making me reconsider

i knowwww

Hiking done right.

What happened with the couple in Banff National Park in Canada who used 2 cans of bear spray and still were killed and partially consumed ? Look it up. Or the Todd Orr attack 😮 where the bear attacked him twice and the bear spray didn't work ? Plus black bears are less affected and recover faster from bear spray. Best to take as many forms of defense as you can, including a good knife. Many have saved their lives with a sturdy hunting knife. Often it happens so fast you don't have time to shoot or use spray. What works in one case may not in another and bear spray isn't 100 % effective. Even carrying a weapon isn't a guarantee if it happens fast and bears are faster than a race horse. Many times it's just luck or in a defensive attack, the bear puts you down, you don't move and it walks away. But black bears you should fight back. Everyone has a plan until there's a bear in your face, I will never judge anyone because idk what it's like and I hope I would have time and do the right thing and make a great shot to stop it. But sometimes bears have to be shot several times. No 2 situations are alike because no 2 bears are alike. You just try to be prepared, and practice with your defenses.

Straight to Heaven

Yes, correct! Bear country doesn’t mean you will see a bear! Hell, the entire state of Alaska is “bear country” Just like when you see signs telling you a deer could pop out onto the road, doesn’t imply it WILL POP OUT.

Dude I've been to the Smokey Mountain national park like 30 times and only saw bear twice.

Because the chances of an encounter are still so rare and people like myself that live in bear country fully understand. The problem is people get to relaxed and let their guard down. Which is why my daughter knows how to shoot a gun and use bear spray. The father should have understood that the chances of an encounter are rare but still possible and made sure she knew how to use the bear spray. Mine stays on my hip right next to my .357

@Kayakazi Loqo learn to spell before calling someone an idiot moron lmao

I know right, yet these dimwits didnt expect a bear deep into grizzly country? Like what??

@Realistic Views what does the police have to do with bears?

You and me both! lol

Well if you got bear spray & a gun you may be a coward, but at least you'd be a coward whose got some brains🧠!

Haha😂🤣😁, ya i totally agree, i am too !

Gun

Or not go to a bears territory

AK 14 will do.

​@@hvkhbojnlinlubobilib3220Indeed. . .(in the first one) she was just defending her cubs

@@leece_6702 Okay person vs bear the person still should defend themselves. There is no reason for any of this. a ruger 3 in 6 shot 357 is smaller than that dumbass bear mace 🤣 there are m0r0ns who actually think bear mace is more effective than a piece of lead moving at 1400 ft/s. 😂 you can have your mace Ill take my 357 any day for bear defense. These people are dumb
