Man Escapes Encounter With Black Bear by Using Bear Spray || ViralHog

I was thinking that too

Total horse shit There was nothing aggressive about what this bear was doing.

You carry the spray. I’ll carry 7.62X51

He is Saving it as if its a bullet

I would've been tempted to as well but I assume that's not the smartest choice. If you use it to early you could provoke the bear and cause it to attack you. Also, he probably didn't want to use it too early because he didn't want to waste it

U would also be dead

@@David-gj9qr yeah its better to wait for the bear to follow you a bit, helps with YT watch time.

😂😂 My same thought 👍

It's not what "people think", it's what literally every bear specialist and professionals from national parks dealing with bears say. Black bears are mostly skittish and they normally don't hunt humans. This is a curious young bear who could mean trouble but it doesn't justify the fear mongering that happens around bears. Regular people actually often believe they're man eaters and will attack at every meeting. People actually think bears love the smell of blood and other nonsense.

Thats a brown bear

Is it really a black bear?

"Спрей от медведей"? 😂😂😂 Ребята, вы серьёзно? 😂😂😂 Этот что комар? Разгляди он (медведь) в нём угрозу или будь сильнее голоден, ни какой спрей не остановит. Ружьё не всегда останавливает... " Спрей от медведей"😂😂😂 Спасибо за настроение, мужик. Пойду своим медведям покажу, пусть по ржут от души. 😂👍

@@PeteUnsigned lol good call

yeah. I believe if you just happen upon a bear without it knowing you were in it's space, you want to talk in a calm voice because in that situation, yelling/acting big and aggressive will cause it to become defensive and potentially aggressive.

It calms the person. Not the bear

I'm not sure if shouting loudly works with black bears. I think it will cause it to charge a full attack. The guy did exactly what he should've done: not startle the bear. Pepper Spray or a firearm are your only protection.

Yeah, it's like a welcoming serenade...😜

Gave it confidence if anything

Black bears don't attack people. But cool story

​@vlucero4997 More black bear attacks happen then brown bear attacks champ.

​@@native82took me not even 2 minutes to find out you were the one lying.

Funny...I thought at first you were referring to your son. (I've had many similar experiences)

It never hurts to be polite

Now the bear will know to question the motives of people who compliment too much... 😌 Valuable life lesson 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 fr 🤣🤣

Politeness goes a long way, eh?

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅

Exactly what I was thinking, lol. The bear was like, I don't see you doing these nimble moves like me, human. I'm bigger, stronger, faster, hungrier, and can climb like a squirrel monkey 🐒 so you better have some potent bear spray.

You beat me to it! 😅🤣👍

Haaaaaaaaaa. Hey bud. This here. Watch. Not gonna help ya one little bit. Haaaaa

Acting out as soon attack

Haha

You too, eh?? We must be running into the same bear

Oh you must of met Frank the bear. His the towns drunk. Loves to get drunk and sing with humans.

😂 good one 👍

I had a bear encounter like this once, unfortunately the spray can was empty. The bear ran to me and started eating me alive.

@@user-il4mh4fz4j 😂

He did the right thing according to the book. He probably should have been louder and more aggressive though.

😢😢😢😢😢

Pine coffins

But... They are easy spray....

A pistol is safer ?

Thats why I always wear a shirt that says "NO BEARS ALLOWED" Once they read it, they go away

It probably thought he meant it was OK to keep approaching him😅🤣😂

Lol

lol. he saw the gopro and wanted his moment once he heard the "good bear."

I'm even confused. Imagine being a young lonely bear just wanting to show off your mad tree climbing skills.

In this situation you do exactly as you said, be aggressive, hold your ground, yell, etc. Black bears rarely attack, even with the situations you mention regarding cubs or mating. That does not mean get close to a black bear with cubs, but just that even then, black bears are typically timid and will almost always retreat. This particular situation is of the most dangerous you can have with a black bear and when most of the attacks and deaths occur. This was a "teenage" boar, who just like our teenagers tend to get themselves in trouble or push the envelope. That, or a food conditioned, and/or habituated, or finally a bear in predatory mode means you need to stop him from following you. Walking backwards is dangerous if he trips, the bear is likely going to attack and who knows if he hangs onto the bear spray. Either way, when a black bear is following you, they are trying to determine what action to take, or looking for the right moment to attack. So, you need to stop, start yelling, even throwing things at the bear to change their mind.

exactly if it was mature and larger the agressive stance probably wouldnt have worked adolecsent bear was very timid, i imagine yelling wouldve scared it off

The fact that he kept backing away is why the bear kept following him. Should have held a more aggressive approach.

exactly what I thought. i know close to nothing about bears but that's the exact tone i use to call my puppies and my cats over to me 💀💀

So glad there is a bear in the comments to answer our questions. 👍

I've read that air horns can be effective in scaring them off as well, is that the case?

@@cmc5394oparva Yes an Airhorn can be effectively used in most cases, unless they have been around people using the Airhorn frequently, then there can be a chance where the bear can become de-sensitized to the sound. I would definitely always have 2 cans of bear spray as first protection. One important thing to know and people forget about is to make sure you absolutely read and understand how to make the "SPRAYER" on the can work. People have had unfortunate situations because of not knowing. Second, an Airhorn can work to scare bear away if it has not become to use to the sound, but I think it is a good thing to use as a second choice. Happy Camping 🐻

Thats insane how quickly he got up, one moment he is walking and as the guy puts the tree between him and the bear, the bear will pop its head like 9 feet in the air the next second.

The bear was hunting him

The classic tree stalker tecnique

These wild animals are very smart. I was watching this coyote casually playing with this baby deer to try to get it to move further away from the mother deer so it can kill it . GANGSTER

The bear was testing him. He'd run towards him and then go up a tree. He didn't know what the guy was or what he was capable of. Once he was fairly confident the guy wouldn't attack, he was coming in for the kill. Without that spray, dude is dead.

Great point

This is why it's so important to never feed bears. You can be putting other people in great danger.

Nice username

What if that bear could’ve been the ambassador to bring peace between our two species but now he has a hatred for mankind for this unprovoked attack

This is a huge reason why bear spray is so important! Not only does it keep us humans safe, it saves the lives of bears. Once they have had the unpleasant experience of pepper spray, they will be more likely to avoid humans from then on, keeping other people safe while also preventing an encounter that would ultimately result in said bears being destroyed. Bears are killed all the time due to them having no fear of people. Once a bear has lost it’s fear of humans & starts hanging out where the people are, they’ll be killed. They *might* be given another chance with relocation but that’s not always the outcome. Bear spray saves bears too!

@AFrenchguyhikesinCalifornia Cause when you pull the phone out you already know your going to survive 😂😂

You are lucky. Running is the worst thing to do, and can trigger a chase instinct in a bear.

​@@headdown1You have to learn to listen.☝️ He wrote that he ran WHEN HE WAS SURE he would reach his truck.🤷‍♂️

@@d.l.3530 By running it sounds like he turned his back on the bear. It's a good thing the bear took off the other way, as it might have been able to move faster than he thought. He could have accomplished the same thing by continuing to walk backwards to his truck, without the risk of triggering the chase instinct in the bear.

as a guy with many bear encounters i totally agree

I was kinda thinking the same...the best thing for the bear is to scare it off immediately when it encroaches too close..they need to think all humans will hit them with the spray immediately.

He did look like a young one . You are right that he should have sprayed him sooner instead of later .

Holding your ground and talking a little more and louder.

Wouldn’t a pack of lit firecrackers work just as good?

Also, *very important* : that was NOT a good bear. That was a _bad bear._ Never met one like that & I've met a lotta bears in the woods.

Cool idea n good thinking Not sure to many people hunt with dogs in Canada anymore though. With no bear spray or gun what ya to lose 🤣🤣

@@2GringosOnTheGulf you’re allowed to have both bear spray and a gun in Canada. And carry them both on crown land.

А еще шутят что у нас, в России, медведи ходят по удицам. Нет, они ходят в США!)

@@2GringosOnTheGulf i'd bet most rural properties the bear's been to has dogs that have chased him off

Interesting in that a bear might be so startled at such a huge dog. 🤔

he wasn’t black so he wasn’t the first to die in this movie

He’s like: i know this is a dangerous situation but no feelings are gonna get hurt today. 😂

Yeah I couldn't film it well maybe when I'm stationary & have the memory but then that is it as I would want to have pepper spray in both hands or one hand & a spear in the other

I'm sure he was occasionally looking behind him...

Real life isn’t a movie child no one would trip that easy everyone would be very careful unless ur an idiot

Well, he never turned his back, he didn’t run….. however, I would have liked to see him act a little more dominant. That’s more effective with black bears. The other thing is I would’ve like to see him deploy the spray a little sooner. I think he had a few opportunities before he actually used it. I don’t like to see animals harmed but when it comes to bears you just never know.

@@jsu1982 I would have ran at this bear yelling and barking like a dog when it got behind that tree, It would have ran up that tree so fast. How we do it in Idaho anyway. lol

Actually, if you look up the procedure he handled it about right. Two minor issues. You back up slowly unless the bear starts to follow you, then you stop and make yourself look bigger. He also could have been a bit louder. Overall he did fine and the bear looks more curious than aggressive.

So basically the did everything wrong lol

@@MrCacarocha if he had stopped facing the bear and ran away and not had bear spray on him, that would have been everything wrong. When you have bear spray you can make a couple of mistakes and your still going to be fine as long as you know how to pull the trigger if it gets too close. For being smart enough to have bear spray, be vocal and face the bear, he gets a B+

100% right. Stand tall too. Wave you arms. Sound scary. This bear was mostly curious and the quiet talking just encouraged him to investigate more. You want the bear to be scared of you AND humans he meets in future too! Otherwise, if he gets habituated to humans it’s a death sentence to the bear in the long term.

I would add that you probably don't want to yell in a high-pitched, panicky voice that might sound like a rabbit or fawn deer in distress. It doesn't need to be guttural, but I recommend a lower-pitched, assertive, "command voice." I bring the volume up in stages myself. The most anxious encounter I've had with a bear was with a youngster* like the one seen in the video. I was hiking out at the end of an eight-day shift in the backcountry of Glacier National Park in 1999. (I was working a Summer job doing historical preservation work on an 8-days-on, 6-days-off schedule). I was running a bit late. The sun was below the ridge, but still plenty of light remaining when I spotted the bear ambling up the trail toward me. I got bear spray ready in one hand and the biggest rock that I figured I could wield with authority in the other--I forgot all about my camera! I started at moderate volume to get the bear's attention as it didn't seem aware of me at first. The bear barely looked at me and gave no indication that it was going to yield the trail. The steep slope of the terrain at the spot did not permit me to step off either side without putting myself at greater risk. While the bear kept approaching, it took another three "Hey, get out of here!" each louder than the previous, before it finally diverted off the trail and passed across the brushy slope maybe 30 feet below me. I swear that critter gave me a surly glare as it did so. * A young bear is often likened to a teenage punk: it's out to test limits and see what it can get away with. Unfortunately for people, it doesn't require a very big bear to F' us up really bad.

Been involved in encounters with aggressive bears, made Me react highly aggressive in return, if you act weak around a bear, it will look at someone as an easy meal, never attack a bear, and never let a bear think your weak and small.

"good bear" - THE FREAK IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!!!!!!!!!!

So it works on a dog but not a bear. Gotcha.

@@JoaquinLucero22420 Probably you could? Black bears are known to be timid and not that great wrestlers as the brown bear. If this were a grizzly, well, you'd be lucky if it killed you before eating you.

Good thing he didn't back up on 🐻 brother or Moma Bear. Keep head on a swivel. But text book reaction not turning & running. They run so fast. He would not be able to put run it. Great job. But still hope he had a back up plan. This should be used in CPL & Rookie Police Training videos on how not to aggressively shoot some one who is not up on you as threat to life.. Make sure stop threat but don't hafta shoot to kill unless threat keep comin.

Yeah you got be sound more aggressive than that.

Lost kitten ? Htf do you tell if kittens are lost?

Glad to see common sense around youtube

This is the opposite of how you should behave. I've been this close to multiple bears before to take photos and all I do is calmly walk towards the bear until it walks/runs away. I've never seen a bear tree itself or look at me like prey because I didn't make baby talk to it and back away like prey.

I even wanted to follow him

@Ging W. That’s the bottom line, isn’t it. I completely agree.

A good bear that is

AND not harming the bear

Not really. This guy did just about everything wrong except the spray

"Hey bear!"

I would have sprayed it pretty early too. When bears get sprayed they learn that humans can be like skunks and avoid them. Makes the next person who encounter it more likely to not get hurt.

@@OCCULTUM1999 I think he was talking to a friend of his

DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO

@@chawk6201 def wasn't

Ya, definitely. It looks playful but it isn’t. These creatures don’t care how loud you are anyway, or what fanatics you use. Be armed, don’t run, don’t play dead, don’t climb or travel alone in such places.

What's interesting is bears have powerful horizontal leaping power, everytime it climbed a tree I wondered if it was considering the takedown.

Hard to say. Here in British Columbia, Canada the guidelines for a bear encounter are to " talk in a low, calm voice"; but he could have made himself look a bit bigger too (but that also might had not effect until he used the spray since, according to the same source, " a predatory bear will approach silently and persistently, usually in rural or remote areas and may continue to approach regardless of your attempts to deter them by yelling or throwing rocks".

Agreed. I think him pacing backwards and speaking/ acting timidly may have enticed this sort of predatory behaviour in the bear.

It kept running forward and climbing because the bear was nervous. He was following but nervous. A bit of clapping and stomping and yelling probably would have send him sprinting. But since the bear didn't see that he kept getting closer. But he wasn't sure if he was safe near the man. Hence he knew he could climb if the man attacked. I think this turned out fine. But he should have sprayed it sooner. And more spray. And more yelling. Once you pull the trigger, you gotta yell, and commit . You set a precedent that the bear should "never talk to another human". Or get close.

Almost" watch another video move on

That bear had zero intention on killing. When will you idiots do a little research on black bears ?

Curiosity is the worst thing for wild predators because once the become curious they loose their fear for humans which is very dangerous

that was predatory behavior

Children are just cyrious when they pull the legs off a grasshopper

Tripping & falling could reveal a vulnerability the bear could read as wounded possibly.

Yes tripping and falling during this would only compound your vulnerability. Your spray could fall out of your hands during a surprise stumble. Also notice while he was moving the bear got closer every time there was trees or foliage between them. Better to stand your ground in terrain most favorable to yourself. If it attacks, spray it and get this over forthwith. Fear produces perspiration. Your open mouth immediately becomes very dry. On a long trip u don't need deyrdation worsening your day.

@@Joe3pops Agreed, that's a predators main business is reading weakness onto an opportune advantage for themselves. 👍

IKR! 😬

people will do anything for good footage...

Only if it is a black bear. With grizzlies you will have better luck playing dead. This is of course is escape isn't an option.

This is why you always have bear spray and/or a gun whenever youre in bear territory. That way you can defender yourself and don't have to worry about being eaten.

Not just bears either, many predatory animals becomes increasingly curious the more a person acts like a nervous prey item. Monitor lizards such as the komodo dragon are another great example. They may not know what you are, but the more you act like food the more curious they are going to get about it.

You gotta use your bear spray like a skunk would use their stench, instead of spraying everywhere and giving the bear time to get used to it, use the element of surprise

@@sladetheblade9349 Maybe for you. Id throw hands with a grizzly.

I agree. There are no bears in my country but even though this was only a small black bear and not a grizzly or a polar bear I'd have probably unloaded the whole can on it. I know it's probably just inquisitive but there's no way I'd be taking that chance. This guy must have balls of steel because if I was walking through somewhere with bears I'd be taking at least one gun and probably someone else who knew what they were doing with me to fire it if needs be. I'd never want to kill a bear or a wolf or mountain lion but if I felt threatened by one I'd fire a warning shot or two and if it kept approaching I'd shoot it to death as quickly and cleanly as possible but I'd be very shook up and upset afterwards I can guarantee that. This guy made that look like a walk in the park in my opinion.

@@chucknutly3290 and this is how you end up with a fat fine and jail time. It is illegal to fire a firearm in national parks. Dumb advice to carry a gun. But since ur not knowledgeable, guns are ineffective against grizzlies. They will still maul you even after you hit it with multiple shots

Honestly the same could be said for bear spray, there’s been many instances where the bear ignored the spray and continued to maul the person. I’d prefer a gun because at least then I can keep firing until a fatal shot lands. With bear spray you just have to pray the bear immediately retreats.

The wavy hands and noises probably induced a "bluff charge ". Bears usually act out of fear and screaming at them makes them more fearful.

You’ve probably learned this since your encounter but NEVER turn your back on a bear & running (although understandable) is the WORST possible thing to do. Even if a bear is not in predatory mode, running from it often triggers a chase - and we’ll never outrun a bear. You were extremely lucky & it was probably the highway that prevented it from reaching you. Was the bear seen since then? By anyone? Get yourself some spray and practice with it. (It’s important to do this so you’re comfortable in using it.) I hope you continue to go on your walks. In addition to bringing spray, take a friend or 2. Bears are less inclined to approach us if we’re with others. I wish you the best. Out of curiosity, where was this? (Not asking for exact location; just the general whereabouts in the country)
