In this feature-length documentary, Troy James Hurtubise goes face to face with Canada's most deadly land mammal, the grizzly bear. Troy is the creator of what he hopes is a grizzly-proof suit, and he repeatedly tests his armour - and courage - in stunts that are both hair-raising and hilarious. Directed by Peter Lynch, the film has become a cult classic in the United States and is rumoured to be a favourite of director Quentin Tarantino.
Directed by Peter Lynch - 1996

RIP Troy. If you came here because of Citation Needed, we are of the same mind. But I cannot help but admire the determination and drive to make a dream happen. Even if it may have been a bit out of left field.

This whole bear suit thing was nothing but a joke. I grew up in the same town as this guy, and he was known as a nutbag. He was a con man and a thief who stole a lot of taxpayers money, and accomplished absolutely nothing.

@TheDancerMacabre Год назад

Most wildlife research is done collecting sensors or watching them through lenses. I feel that donning the suit to collect and reset sensors and recording equipment would be a huge advantage, especially with territorial mother bears. Though you're probably right that it would be impractical to Don the suit every day and fumble with equipment. But if I was like some researcher, I'd rather have the suit and not need it than need it and not have it.

@therexbellator 11 месяцев назад

He's got an infectious charm but I don't know if that kind of dogged tenacity is always good or healthy. It's okay to fail and give up on things; sometimes things aren't meant to be. No matter how tough or damage-resistant he made that suit it doesn't take an engineering genius to see that it has limited applications, especially because it reduces mobility to the point where if you fall over you're pretty much done until someone can get you up which is not something you want when facing a bear or the battlefield (his later suits were designed for military applications).

@InternationalDrone 3 года назад

@Brokout Год назад

He was completely traumatised by the initial bear encounter and rather than admit vulnerability and heal from his experience, he went about recovering in the most roundabout way possible.

@therexbellator 11 месяцев назад

You're probably right but I also can't help feel there might have been some other trauma or some other deep-seated need that drove him, in particular, the way he talked about making his dad proud seemed very telling. Nothing wrong with wanting to make your parents proud of course, but his dogged tenacity and inability to re-think his suit makes me think it was more symbolic than addressing a bear encounter.

It takes people like this with a vision to come up with new technology. Edison, Einstein, Cousteau, etc. were all considered crazy back in their day, yet history has proven that they were important people. This guy is at least trying to come up with a viable solution in studying grizzly bears up close, because, other than captive bears, a person can't (obviously) study them in close proximity without fear of attack, serious injury and/or death. If that idiot Tim Treadwell had had this in Alaska instead of doing that sing-song bullshit that he did with the bears, maybe he and his girlfriend would still be alive. Is Troy eccentric? He seems to be somewhat, but I still admire the guy for trying.
