@@BrokeNerfing nahhhh h didnt sing to them and think he was invincible, he knew what he was doing was dangerous, this guy was loonely tunes and F'd up in the head.
Somewhere, way way back in his subconscious, Timothy suspected he would indeed one day be killed by a bear. But, the longer he spent out there building his world with Sgt Brown and Mr Chocolate and the sinister Grinch, the more entrenched his belief that these apex predators gave him their 'affection'... that they knew him and 'welcomed' his return each year. Who really knows why these bears did not tear him to pieces at any point because he looked to be pretty close to some damage at many points in the documentary. I have always felt immense sadness for Timothy... He thought he belonged there, among those animals, when his reality was that he did not. To wander among them, like he was part of their great mystery was delusional in the extreme. That last piece to camera he did, with the rain pattering and the wind rustling the bushes... It breaks my heart. I think he knew. On a visceral level. But his ego made him stay when he should have packed and run. His killer was watching and Tim knew it. A most hideous death for these two people. It shouldn't have happened... 😔
Here's why they never ate him Most were healthy and too busy gorging on salmon ..until an old hungry one came along They weren't his friends Get a grip
Poor guy. Whatever he was, naive, stupid, weird, crazy or whatever you wanna say, getting eaten alive by a bear is a horrific way to go.I can't imagine the horror. He seemed like a gentle soul.
Yes but he did bring his girlfriend along who was also eaten alive by the bear right after him. My sympathy for him is a bit limited by that fact. Still obviously no one deserves being eaten alive and it's not like he did it with malicious intend. He was just naive and stupid that's all. Still I have a lot more sympathy for his girlfriend.
@@eliasvonbrille She was a adult and had to be aware of the dangers. I should rephrase it. I feel bad for them BOTH. That has to be on the short list of worse ways to go. Obviously it was excruciating and judging by the audio version we heard, it was not quick either.
@@millardthomas9059 Obviously it wasn't smart of her to go and it was also her own choice but I am pretty sure, knowing him and his optimism about bears and them not eating him, that he convinced her and told her they would be fine. He is the expert who has done this many times. Who is she to question that? It would be hard to say no if she truly loves him and he is so passionate about bears. She would probably just trust him. It was his responsibility to warn her and maybe even strongly advice her against coming along. Again I am maybe being a bit unfair here as I don't know for certain that he didn't do these things but my honest thought on him, seeing his shows and public appearances and how naively he speaks about bears is that he most likely did not warn her or advise against it and probably rather convinced her. Which in my opinion would make him very much responsible for her death. Again I am sad for both of them but his hands were not clean on this that's for sure. He was the expert.
@@eliasvonbrille Yeah we're almost saying the same thing practically. You could tell the " bear obsession" was more his thing and she was being loving and supporting. It was his passion and his purpose. So you are completely right.
@@joeyconvery2055 thank you so much. I think it’s safe to say that he took full responsibility for what happened, however no one deserves to die lie this. I genuinely hope it went by fast and I can only imagine how his girlfriend must have felt seeing her significant other being eaten alive and feeling absolutely helpless/defenseless. The fact that she couldn’t take his pain away and had to witness this predictable yet absolutely horrifying ordeal. Thank you for being compassionate
@@Ballerina-Girl You are right, he wrote that a few times in his journal. I believe he wanted to go the way he did but I think he would have liked for it to have been faster
The pilot he hired to pick him up sensed that something was wrong when he got there and he said one beat was stalking him. He got back in his plane to circle over the area, and when he did that he said the bears got nervous and started eating the body faster. Isn’t that just gruesome?
Feel bad for the guy. Had he been able to connect with humans better he may not have ended up putting himself in such a dangerous situation. You have to question his thinking as well, though, he claimed himself as a self-made expert on bears yet went back to the grizzly maze late in the season during a year with a failed berry crop and low salmon run. It's times like that the bears will even turn to eating each other. When bears start eating each other, you should probably get the fuck outta Dodge.
The funny thing I noticed: Timothy doesn't actually respond to Letterman's last question with a decisive and unambiguous "No". Instead, he hesitates and starts feeling weirdly uncomfortable: the "No" from his mouth we hear in the clip sounds forced and uncertain, as if struggling against a deep-seated premonition. All too many subtle signs were predicting his demise.
Letterman suggested it as a joke, and Tim took is VERY seriously to the point where you can tell he was scared by the question instead of laughing along with the audience, very bizarre situation here.
@@daltonred7774 it’s probably some kind of liberal/leftist mindset that overtook him and made him be “against guns” or violence? Idk maybe he was just a tad dumb, albeit an excellent man of character.
@@nightshadegatito You must not be too bright if you think a man who films himself playing with bear shit cares about gun laws or regulations. BTW, you should probably know that leftists actually really enjoy their guns. It's just that they understand which people are mentally stable enough to handle owning one. 😉 Don't get it confused, leftists and libs don't mix. Liberals are reactionary. They lack most common sense and critical thinking skills. Timothy was neither of those things. He clearly thought he was some Steve Irwin type, when really, he was a man living in a world that he built for himself based on his delusions. Don't be delusional like Tim.
My heart goes out to the poor guy, he met a very terrible and horrific ending to his life, but God love him, he doesn't seem like to sharpest tool in the shed.
Ahh, the Fact that he Was NOT the " Sharpest Tool in the Shed" Should indicate that he was Probably the Wrong person to go Messing with Grizzlies!! He Had No training, No Zoology Degree, no REAL Experience to Do This sort of Insanity!! It's like Someone who has No Diving Experience, Doing the MOST Dangerous underwater cave Diving! Just asking for Trouble!!
@Yongo Bazuk I knew that... but if you think about it... Indirectly, Tim cause the bear to get killed... He shouldn't have been there... the bear didn't do anything wrong..
This is a hoax. There is no full letterman interview with TREAD WELL. How stupid are people, he changed his name to TREAD WELL and Letterman is in on the joke. He just happens to get eaten by a bear on his 13th visit ? The coroner and other individuals in the film appear to be actors , and surprise surprise TREAD WELL was also an actor.
@@denisenoe7927 I dunno... surely in that terrifying six minutes he must have thought however quickly “shit it’s actually happening.. What everyone told me was gonna happen actually did...”
I hardly find Letterman prophetic. EVERYONE ... literally EVERYONE was telling Tim to not do this. To get out of there. He was "hassled" by rangers that wanted him to leave. His family, I'm telling you... everyone knew this was going to be the end of him. His girlfriend never went with him for the duration on his first 6 trips. She visited him once for a while. And, she finally went with him on his last trip there. She helped film him and was only in front of the camera's 2-3 times briefly. This was his "baby". But she went. And it cost her her life. Sometimes, we MUST listen to the still small voice inside that says..."do not go no matter what your heart says or how much you love someone, you know the danger is too high. you must not go". And when he had his 6 lucky trips where they didn't kill him, she acquiesced, and supported him by going. And he was taken down. And she was screaming to him as he was having limbs snapped and his body played with like a tennis ball with a Mastiff. And then the bear ate her too. When you have no protection from wild animals, you are beyond naive, and you go into mental defect to do what he did. And it's ok if you want to kill YOUR own self via wild animals. But he killed his girlfriend with his ego and false confidence. Just as many before him, with WILD animals have done. ie. Lady with the chimpanzee that went into a teenager with testosterone and snapped one day and almost killed the owner who swore the chimp would NEVER hurt anyone. Well he did. He attacked her and then her best friend raced to her aid, and the chimp literally ate her friend's face right off of her, and her fingers. She admits it's very sad to have a "face" that scares children. But she is very very lucky to have survived to tell the tale. And it is a WARNING. Stop managing wild creatures that you cannot pick up and put in your pocket to let it settle always with a leash. Never cause your friends in your dangerous choices of wild animal keeping. A man and wife with their beloved boa ate their infant daughter. Woke to find him with a big lump in his middle. And wondered what he ate. Oh the baby. Don't be "oh, the baby" kind of reckless stupidity. Talk people out of it. If they refuse to listen to reason, you cut them out of your life. You cannot visit them. You cannot have him/her/them visit with their wild animal. Timothy didn't die a quick death. The bear didn't just side swipe his head off.. which bears can do with their razor sharp claws and massive brutal strength. It has happened many times. No. Tim took over 9 minutes to die and feel all that was happening to him. And hear his girlfriends screams and in his shock and horror.. he did not say "i love you bear, you may eat me". He did say in his movie that they would NEVER eat him. But if they did, he was ok with that.
It really should be unlawful to willfully invade a grizzly’s hang out area. He needed an injunction from a court to stay away. Menacing bears should be unlawful.

tim treadwell filmed himself shouting that 'melissa' is eating her babies.....and a male bear also killed a bear cub.....these animals will turn on their own ....if a mother bear can eat her babies... due to starvation.... she will eat anything... humans and bears are not meant to mix... if they do the human will end up as lunch.... leave the bears alone!!!!
I remember this! Oh man, this guy, what a piece of work. If only he had not gotten so many taken out with him. Hardly a protector of wildlife, just too afraid to exist with his own., so he had to break rules and prove a point that proved itself against him.
When he saw the remains of the bear cub that was killed by a bear that's when any other normal person would have thought "shit that could have been me, I've got to get out of here"
@Nill Gddy "When mammalian mothers give birth, they must begin nursing their infants-something they can do only if they're healthy and well nourished. But if, for instance, a mother bear in the wild gives birth to unhealthy or deformed cubs, or is unable to find enough to eat, she will typically kill and consume them." -National Geographic, March 2014. "Stupid."
only a fool would believe otherwise. He stayed longer than usual and the bears ran out of food. Timothy thought they were peaceful, Werner disagrees, "half-bored hungry bear" that killed and ate them.
@@wheresmynigggeorge1306 Pretty clever, those bears. They kept him around until there was nothing else to eat. Then, *nom, nom, nom, nom*. To bad about the chick he dragged into his insanity, but she made her choices, too. So, bon appetit, bears.

I guess in his mind he thought that by being around them without any protection the bears will eventually see him as one of their own. He even said in the doc that if he shows 'weakness' they will probably attack him. Bear #141 did not attack him because he showed weakness, it attacked because winter was very close and food was very scarce.
But even if he were seen as "one of their own," as he suggested, that still would not have protected him. As he himself lamented in his footage, "Tabitha is eating her babies!"
Where do you get the number 131? I tried to look it up. The only bear that comes up is a 2.5 year old female. I can't find any information about the bear, which seems odd as the bear had been branded.
I think he in his mind thought by talking to them they would somehow connect in a human way. These bears are vicious and aggressive and their nature is to eat whatever is near. I feel sad for this man he had something going on in his head. RIP
If an animal is willing to eat it's own cubs it will kill to protect tells you how hard their lives are. Who knows how long those bears went without food and/or water when those people were killed. These are wild animals fighting to live and he's acting like they're his friends. I don't feel bad for those people's consequences but for the animals who died that were trying to survive.

Super Dude the event of him being on letterman saying that he's not gonna die from his bear ecounter, or that we wont see him on the news reporting that a bear tore him up, noone thought it would happen, but it did and to me, it is amusing, not much of a "super dude" more so than a "needy lady seeking attention"

he wanted to be ONE with the beers. it was " Boo" that ate him tim had problems with "Boo" but he was working it out,and he and "Boo" had planned a "get together" which did,in fact,happen.
MrCool Mug All he did was put bears at risk. By acclimating them to human presence, he made bears think humans were not a threat. As has been proven, bear poaching in the park increased dramatically after Treadwell's death. This guy was a buffoon.
MrCool Mug For God sake, they don't NEED defending! That was part of his illness. What he DID do was get an innocent bear shot (not to mention his girlfriend killed) because of his carelessness. Nothing he did was noble.
MrCool Mug Unlike you, there are several people who have taken the time to research his life and have confirmed his mental ILLNESS (bipolar, etc.). Even his parents confirmed it. He doesn't need you defending him any more than the fucking bears needed him to defend THEM! Learn something about a subject before you open your pathetic excuse for a mouth! He was mentally ill just as you are proving that YOU are! Do us all a favour and follow in his footsteps. Go out there and be "noble" and get fuckin' EATEN!
I caught this documentary by accident and couldn't help but wonder what would posses someone to think they could charm a wild bear? Dave's assessment was accurate and the inevitable outcome for one who tempts fate. If anything can be gleaned from all this, it's that you can't live with Grizzlies for very long regardless of how good you are at being a kind warrior. In his death Timothy did manage to teach people a lesson, but its one that should only be taught before someone wants to go live defenseless with grizzlies. A frying pan is not a weapon against a Bear.
Look at his ending face at 0:39 hes all shocked and embarrassed that the audience is laughing like any normal person would at a man who runs up to wild animals.
Meister Eder my point was he is obviously mentally unbalanced and should not have been encouraged in anyway. I am not blaming anyone, esp the park rangers. He was a nightmare to deal with, but there should be some rules that permanently expelled that guy from that park after 12 years of molesting the bears, including mounting them while asleep so he could film them.
He was fully aware of the danger he was putting himself in. The documentary Grizzly Man is excellent and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in his story. He says multiple times on tape that there’s a good chance one of these days could be his last.
No, he was abused as a child...that makes you look for an outer validation for rest of your life. It really messes you up. He was really messed up, but was it his fault? No. He would have needed help from his own species.
From the moment he developed his fascination with bears, he was always doomed to be eaten. If not in October 2003, probably a season or two later. The more he interacted with bears, the more he felt safe around them.The more he felt safe, the riskier the behavior he engaged in and the more likely it was that he would take a step too far. He felt past encounters predicted future encounters but his rationale was completely wrong. The analogy he should have considered was a game of Russian Roulette. Just because you got away with pulling the trigger once, does not mean that result will repeat the next time around.
I feel bad for his girlfriend not only did she not want to be there in the first place but she went through a lot worse than treadwell, she had to watch her boyfriend get ripped apart and eaten alive then watch him get dragged away and then left on her own in the dark in bear country which must have been the scariest loneliest place you could imagine, and basically await her fate and know that she was going to go the same way as treadwell being eaten alive, at least when he got attacked it would have been out of surprise for him but when she next saw the bear she must have known what was coming
@Don Teremore the point is there is no where to run to where she'd be safe. You can't outrun a bear and even if you could there is nowhere to go. She could go to their tent - which wouldn't stop a bear. She could climb up a tree, except bears are excellent (and fast) climbers too. They had no shelter or vehicle. Do you see what I mean now?
This was period of my life when I was drawn to the WTF, I had read, Touching the Void, Into The Wild, Into Thin Air, people who simply pushed the envelope, but this guy went beyond this, he was warned repeatedly to keep his distance and respect the power and the power not only took his life but Amy's as well, No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none and therefore am no beast, RIP TT and AH
As a grizzly bear trainer noted, he lived within close proximity to the bears for 13 years without any incident. The only thing people seem to remember is the last day of it, and maybe rightly so
Because he also stayed too late that year, as many bears he was familiar with went into hibernation, and ones he weren’t used to seeing came out to get ready.
David Letterman and all those audience who laughed might have felt really bad later....because joking on something and that happening in reality is very creepy if you think about it.
We laugh at tragedy so it hurts less. What else could be done in this situation. Everyone told him he was in danger of being eaten alive by a grizzly bear and told him to stop. It wasn't a prediction of something that wouldn't have happened, if they hadn't said anything. It wasn't a prediction at all. It was an obvious fact. People laughed because, Timothy Treadwell, made them feel uncomfortable. Because, no one knew when, but everyone knew how. And everyone knew he'd been warned by everyone he came across.
You wish. Grizzly boy is nothing but a fart in the wind. David and those audience simply went their own way drinking coffee like nothing ever happened.
A guy in the documentary said that the bears must have deemed Treadwell unfit to eat because he HAD to be crazy(maybe rabid) for not running away from them. Very perceptive of them, actually.
@ChrisK513 that's a stupid comment, he didnt die doing what he loved, do you thing this guy wanted to die being eating by a bear? Of course not. This guy died because he was kind of insane, every man in his right sense know that these bears are really dangerous and never would have lived with them .
He was an idiot who made his choices and dragged his poor girlfriend into it. He endangered himself, his girlfriend, the pilot, the rangers who had to clean up the scene and the bears he claimed he loved. He understood nothing and did more harm than good. As the result of his actions two bears were killed. I can feel sorry for her, his and her parents, but not him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Very sad. It's like people with dangerous dogs... 'our dog wouldn't hurt a fly'...etc. Then the dog mauls a child. Love animals but also respect them and take any potential for danger, seriously.
Exactly ive owned pitbulls all my life , some our very gentle and some more aggressive than others depending on bloodline . My point is I wouldn't have that type of dog are around a small child in my home. Kids act weird giving off bad vibes that the dog can sense , therefore triggering an attack .
True but you gotta know how to raise a dog Cesar millian style. Dogs are good even pitbulls! If you dissapline and train them right. Bears on the other hand are too instinctive and it's near impossible unless you have some sorta power?
@Alex Mercer You are exactly the type of person that gets small babies murdered by dogs. An animal is an animal is an animal, and you're naive. Do an IQ test please.
tyeah Tim meant well, he really did. just got too confortable and trusting with wild animals that dont want to be your friend. I feel very bad for him and his girlfriend, to have died such a horrible and terrifying way. They were good people and they meant well. God bless them and may they reast in peace forever. Their family and friends should be proud.
@Yongo Bazuk the head wasn't eaten. There's another scene in the documentary where they show a grizzly skull that was picked off by scavengers but still there. The head is mostly bone so it's left mostly alone.
Just saw a two hour documentary on this guy on discovery. Sure he meant well. Bit you can tell from his footage he wasn't all there hence getting extremely comfortable. Don't interfere with Mother Nature that's all I can say. R.i.p..
Timothy Treadwell remained when food was scarce. Something he never did before. I think he consciously knew of the imminent and immense danger of following through on that decision. Doubley sad is that he allowed his girlfriend to accompany him, understanding the greatest risk.. Timothy knew bears, their habits and the hibernating season, and how scarcity of food for bear's triggers a violently dangerous social order. Timothy covered the camera lense and allowed audio to record. Timothy also allowed his Sociopathic rage towards the overseers of the park to be video captured, and by not following park rules for camping and engagement with bears, he invited his demise. It was noted that Timothy's girlfriend shared her bear fears and there is public knowledge she entertained leaving Timothy. She better than anyone experienced Timothy's psychosis, and perished because Timothy was numb to human needs, while she wasn't?

yeah i love bears and wildlife, but he was just an idiot. I watched the documentary, and he convinced himself that the bears accepted him. But this is naive. Several scenes in the movie show quite clearly that they do NOT see him as one of them.
He brought grizzly bears plight to the consciousness, and although he died in his efforts, I applaud his consciousness surround the sentience of animals.
Kate Ann the rescue team had to kill 6 bears to recover his remains, he achieved nothing, by"protecting"the Bears he ultimately led to 6 of them being killed.
. exceptionally good care of them exceptional . That was a bear sanctuary and the National Park Service took exception stupidity at that . Tim Treadwell caused the death of several bears because of his stupidity and wanton stupid The last bear that was killed there was 20 years prior to this incident

@Richard G I would hope he was. Trump is delusional and senile due to old age. While Biden seems to be heading in that direction, he is not quite there yet. Trump is having a terrible go at this whole presidency thing. One of the worst terms in a long time. A war waged between civilians and the government, as if we have no outside enemies, and the worst part is that the idiot chose a side. He didn't even think to make a statement to placate agitators and self proclaimed heroes.
i seriously regret ever hearing about this tragedy, i got curious about what happened then i read what happened, i watched the documentary, i heard the audio tape of hes and her death, could have been fake, but sounded so real, i actually feel terror now, i cant get this image out of my head of he being eaten alive and those screams, i feel sick, im stupid being so curious, this truly haunts me, and we have bears here too, i realated to that situation too much, dont listen the audio if you can!!
@@yanni2112 He commented 11 years ago, hope he moved on since :) The audio you listened to is fake anyway; the original tape has never been released, which I think it's a good thing. If what you heard haunts you, maybe visualising 2 idiots play acting in front of a recorder for thrills on the internet can help you lessen the trauma in a way.
Remember guys, The incident that ended his life, Was the situation of a bear who happened to come over the camp site of his. Things triggers in an animals mind. There is living things there moving, the smell of food.. If the bear never came across his camp i think a bear never would've harmed this guy. Cause he only went close to one when he felt like he could. So i thinks its natural to him to say what he did here :) Rest in peace, Grizzly man :) You had a powerful connection and respect with the nature and i am proud of him doing what he loved and dying for it, as he said he didn't mind.
The bears have seasonal aggression related to the amount of food available. The attack that killed Treadwell happened right in the middle of this "angry season" that bears have. Treadwell should have known this, and not been anywhere near the forest at that time of year.
otonanoC I think he did no it,, he had a row with sum airport security and he went back to the grizzly maze,, most bears were gone hibernating,, the bear that gotem was just hungry and couldn't get food to fill up,,,it was gonna happen anyways,
This is terrible, and horrid, if only, if only he had being safer. He literally camped on their trail and path, used no repellent, no weapons or electric fencing, it was just too much. As far as I have known, brown bears are extremely dangerous creatures, just looking at scenes from mothers protecting their cubs strikes fear, it is a huge powerful animal. He literally camped in their path, he stayed in a critical time when they are desperate for food with no form of defence. I read they recovered remains with his head detached with some spinal bone left, to me that was gruesome, but it also tells me the bear was being instinctual, he was trying to eat, and trying to feed for the coming winter. We slaughter cows, chickens, pigs and sheep to feed, it is just terrible when we who are in dominance have to become victims of nature and its food chain. This is a terrible case, but one that inspires the need for safety, common sense, a healthy sense of fear, and God. God loves me, but does he want me to venture out in such a reckless manner, certainly not, I pray to anyone who reads, seeks God and pray for him to keep you safe, and be safe.

Hahahahahaha this is awesome foreshadowing. He says “I give them lots of room” Continues to put his tent in the middle of a bear trail in a month where Grizzly bears are most violent.
all these negative comments no need for it. He did what he felt was right, I mean when i say this is because , he liked loved them in a way that not no one could understand not even i understand this deep connection he had with the bears "why bears" you know but give the man credit he survived 13 summers outthere no weapon or anything to cause harm to the bears rip tim.
No one should give him credit for putting his or his partner in danger. To give him credit, I would be encouraging others to do what he did. And I wish that upon nobody bud. Just goes to prove darwins theory of "survival of the fittest" or in this case, "the smartest"
If you want to learn about human's and Bears there is only one man to turn to. His name is Charlie Russell "Bear Man from Kamchatka". Every Year he goes to Russia to raise grizzly Bear Cubs. The documentary is amazing and heart warming. You can find it under the name: "The Edge of Eden." Now this guy knows bears & all he takes with him into the wild to protect his bear cubs from predator larger Bears is a can of Pepper Spray. He looks after the orphoned cubs as if he was their mother.

Ive heard people say the bears almost felt sorry for him. Like he was retarded or something.
Well said. I feel the same way about everything you said.
Here's why they never ate him
Most were healthy and too busy gorging on salmon ..until an old hungry one came along
They weren't his friends

Yes but he did bring his girlfriend along who was also eaten alive by the bear right after him.
My sympathy for him is a bit limited by that fact.
Still obviously no one deserves being eaten alive and it's not like he did it with malicious intend. He was just naive and stupid that's all. Still I have a lot more sympathy for his girlfriend.
@@eliasvonbrille She was a adult and had to be aware of the dangers. I should rephrase it. I feel bad for them BOTH. That has to be on the short list of worse ways to go. Obviously it was excruciating and judging by the audio version we heard, it was not quick either.
@@millardthomas9059 Obviously it wasn't smart of her to go and it was also her own choice but I am pretty sure, knowing him and his optimism about bears and them not eating him, that he convinced her and told her they would be fine.
He is the expert who has done this many times.
Who is she to question that? It would be hard to say no if she truly loves him and he is so passionate about bears. She would probably just trust him.
It was his responsibility to warn her and maybe even strongly advice her against coming along.
Again I am maybe being a bit unfair here as I don't know for certain that he didn't do these things but my honest thought on him, seeing his shows and public appearances and how naively he speaks about bears is that he most likely did not warn her or advise against it and probably rather convinced her.
Which in my opinion would make him very much responsible for her death. Again I am sad for both of them but his hands were not clean on this that's for sure.
He was the expert.
@@eliasvonbrille Yeah we're almost saying the same thing practically. You could tell the " bear obsession" was more his thing and she was being loving and supporting. It was his passion and his purpose. So you are completely right.
@@millardthomas9059 Well yes I agree with everything you said. Just added to it.
Tim believed he was a Disney princess and all the wild animals were his friends. He looks and behaves like Stuart from MadTV.
Man that look on his face at the end is so foretelling. Spooky.
foretelling? that douchebag was hanging with a bunch of bear, that's like betting on Tyson vs McNeely, you know how it's gonna end
@@KPho150 Please have some COMPASSION for Timothy...no one deserves to die like that.
13 years later, I agree, man
@r33mote Again, show some Compassion.
Did he make a horrible mistake? Yes.
But no one deserves a death like this.
@@joeyconvery2055 thank you so much. I think it’s safe to say that he took full responsibility for what happened, however no one deserves to die lie this. I genuinely hope it went by fast and I can only imagine how his girlfriend must have felt seeing her significant other being eaten alive and feeling absolutely helpless/defenseless. The fact that she couldn’t take his pain away and had to witness this predictable yet absolutely horrifying ordeal. Thank you for being compassionate
Sadly Timothy ignored all the warnings and common sense. He even dreamt being eaten by a bear.
Wrong. In the documentary "The Grizzly Man" he clearly says: "God, please do not let me being eaten by a bear".
@@borizovskimilan You're the one wrong. He wrote in his diary he dreamt he was eaten by a bear. Get your facts straight.
@@Ballerina-Girl You are right, he wrote that a few times in his journal. I believe he wanted to go the way he did but I think he would have liked for it to have been faster
@@brandysigmon9066 Obviously. Who the fuck wants a slow death?
The pilot he hired to pick him up sensed that something was wrong when he got there and he said one beat was stalking him. He got back in his plane to circle over the area, and when he did that he said the bears got nervous and started eating the body faster. Isn’t that just gruesome?
Feel bad for the guy. Had he been able to connect with humans better he may not have ended up putting himself in such a dangerous situation. You have to question his thinking as well, though, he claimed himself as a self-made expert on bears yet went back to the grizzly maze late in the season during a year with a failed berry crop and low salmon run. It's times like that the bears will even turn to eating each other. When bears start eating each other, you should probably get the fuck outta Dodge.
A very perceptive remark, that if he could connect to humans he wouldn’t be trying with bears.
@@aslater5shit I don’t connect with humans that well either but I sure as hell won’t make friends with grizzly bears lol
The funny thing I noticed: Timothy doesn't actually respond to Letterman's last question with a decisive and unambiguous "No". Instead, he hesitates and starts feeling weirdly uncomfortable: the "No" from his mouth we hear in the clip sounds forced and uncertain, as if struggling against a deep-seated premonition. All too many subtle signs were predicting his demise.
Letterman suggested it as a joke, and Tim took is VERY seriously to the point where you can tell he was scared by the question instead of laughing along with the audience, very bizarre situation here.
@@daltonred7774 it’s probably some kind of liberal/leftist mindset that overtook him and made him be “against guns” or violence? Idk maybe he was just a tad dumb, albeit an excellent man of character.
@@nightshadegatito You must not be too bright if you think a man who films himself playing with bear shit cares about gun laws or regulations. BTW, you should probably know that leftists actually really enjoy their guns. It's just that they understand which people are mentally stable enough to handle owning one. 😉
Don't get it confused, leftists and libs don't mix. Liberals are reactionary. They lack most common sense and critical thinking skills.
Timothy was neither of those things. He clearly thought he was some Steve Irwin type, when really, he was a man living in a world that he built for himself based on his delusions. Don't be delusional like Tim.
I think he was thrown off by the crowd laughing and didn't know it was a joke
The last one laughing was the bear.
I watched this, and thought to myself, "He's going to die. They'll eat him."
I remember watching this when it originally aired, too. I had no idea how ungrounded he really was.
My heart goes out to the poor guy, he met a very terrible and horrific ending to his life, but God love him, he doesn't seem like to sharpest tool in the shed.
he sharpened himself too much and the edge broke...
maybe just overly egotistic shrouding a no doubt fine IQ - was there deluding himself of the ego, not of the deficient IQ
Ahh, the Fact that he Was NOT the " Sharpest Tool in the Shed" Should indicate that he was Probably the Wrong person to go Messing with Grizzlies!! He Had No training, No Zoology Degree, no REAL Experience to Do This sort of Insanity!! It's like Someone who has No Diving Experience, Doing the MOST Dangerous underwater cave Diving! Just asking for Trouble!!
@Andres Garza I thought you were going to say because the bear got shot to death right after that...
@Yongo Bazuk I knew that... but if you think about it... Indirectly, Tim cause the bear to get killed... He shouldn't have been there... the bear didn't do anything wrong..

This is a hoax. There is no full letterman interview with TREAD WELL. How stupid are people, he changed his name to TREAD WELL and Letterman is in on the joke. He just happens to get eaten by a bear on his 13th visit ? The coroner and other individuals in the film appear to be actors , and surprise surprise TREAD WELL was also an actor.

Sad that Treadwells final moments probably involved regretting ever being interested in animals.
No doubt.
Well deserved
He was in physical agony. You don't think in the normal way.
@@denisenoe7927 I dunno... surely in that terrifying six minutes he must have thought however quickly “shit it’s actually happening.. What everyone told me was gonna happen actually did...”
@@denisenoe7927 I hear that adrenaline kicks in and you don't feel much after a certain point
I hardly find Letterman prophetic. EVERYONE ... literally EVERYONE was telling Tim to not do this. To get out of there. He was "hassled" by rangers that wanted him to leave. His family, I'm telling you... everyone knew this was going to be the end of him. His girlfriend never went with him for the duration on his first 6 trips. She visited him once for a while. And, she finally went with him on his last trip there. She helped film him and was only in front of the camera's 2-3 times briefly. This was his "baby". But she went. And it cost her her life. Sometimes, we MUST listen to the still small voice inside that says..."do not go no matter what your heart says or how much you love someone, you know the danger is too high. you must not go". And when he had his 6 lucky trips where they didn't kill him, she acquiesced, and supported him by going. And he was taken down. And she was screaming to him as he was having limbs snapped and his body played with like a tennis ball with a Mastiff. And then the bear ate her too. When you have no protection from wild animals, you are beyond naive, and you go into mental defect to do what he did. And it's ok if you want to kill YOUR own self via wild animals. But he killed his girlfriend with his ego and false confidence. Just as many before him, with WILD animals have done. ie. Lady with the chimpanzee that went into a teenager with testosterone and snapped one day and almost killed the owner who swore the chimp would NEVER hurt anyone. Well he did. He attacked her and then her best friend raced to her aid, and the chimp literally ate her friend's face right off of her, and her fingers. She admits it's very sad to have a "face" that scares children. But she is very very lucky to have survived to tell the tale. And it is a WARNING. Stop managing wild creatures that you cannot pick up and put in your pocket to let it settle always with a leash. Never cause your friends in your dangerous choices of wild animal keeping. A man and wife with their beloved boa ate their infant daughter. Woke to find him with a big lump in his middle. And wondered what he ate. Oh the baby. Don't be "oh, the baby" kind of reckless stupidity. Talk people out of it. If they refuse to listen to reason, you cut them out of your life. You cannot visit them. You cannot have him/her/them visit with their wild animal. Timothy didn't die a quick death. The bear didn't just side swipe his head off.. which bears can do with their razor sharp claws and massive brutal strength. It has happened many times. No. Tim took over 9 minutes to die and feel all that was happening to him. And hear his girlfriends screams and in his shock and horror.. he did not say "i love you bear, you may eat me". He did say in his movie that they would NEVER eat him. But if they did, he was ok with that.
His girlfriend was in her late 30s. It wasn't like she was a child. Women need to start taking responsibility for their mistakes.
You're a clown.
Thanks for the warning - I will take the Trump voter back to the zoo before more happens.
@@macneoh7418 so true. It's sad nonetheless. When your gut tells you don't do it it's wise to trust your gut. She should have stayed home.
It really should be unlawful to willfully invade a grizzly’s hang out area. He needed an injunction from a court to stay away. Menacing bears should be unlawful.
Maybe things would have worked out better for Tim had he been trying to protect wild hamsters.

tim treadwell filmed himself shouting that 'melissa' is eating her babies.....and a male bear also killed a bear cub.....these animals will turn on their own ....if a mother bear can eat her babies... due to starvation.... she will eat anything... humans and bears are not meant to mix... if they do the human will end up as lunch.... leave the bears alone!!!!
I remember this! Oh man, this guy, what a piece of work. If only he had not gotten so many taken out with him. Hardly a protector of wildlife, just too afraid to exist with his own., so he had to break rules and prove a point that proved itself against him.
Nicki Nite wolves are so much nicer. They don't eat humans. He would still be alive had he chosen wolves to mingle with
When he saw the remains of the bear cub that was killed by a bear that's when any other normal person would have thought "shit that could have been me, I've got to get out of here"
lol but nobody wants to see that. The only thing that made it interesting was the fact the we knew he got eaten.
@Nill Gddy "When mammalian mothers give birth, they must begin nursing their infants-something they can do only if they're healthy and well nourished. But if, for instance, a mother bear in the wild gives birth to unhealthy or deformed cubs, or is unable to find enough to eat, she will typically kill and consume them." -National Geographic, March 2014. "Stupid."
That look Treadwell gives him at the very end like..."shit, that could possibly happen."
He was thinking of the crowd laughing and nervous from stage freight
I don't mean this as a joke... but can we say that David actually predicted his future?
Julissa Cordero sure he did
Anyone could have predicted that, I mean, the people in Alaska were saying they were surprised he lasted as long as he did
I would say so. It was only a matter of time.
only a fool would believe otherwise. He stayed longer than usual and the bears ran out of food. Timothy thought they were peaceful, Werner disagrees, "half-bored hungry bear" that killed and ate them.
@@wheresmynigggeorge1306 Pretty clever, those bears. They kept him around until there was nothing else to eat. Then, *nom, nom, nom, nom*. To bad about the chick he dragged into his insanity, but she made her choices, too. So, bon appetit, bears.
A joke of course by Dave at the time, but because of this guys incredibly wreckless behaviour it was a reasonable assumption by Letterman.

I guess in his mind he thought that by being around them without any protection the bears will eventually see him as one of their own. He even said in the doc that if he shows 'weakness' they will probably attack him. Bear #141 did not attack him because he showed weakness, it attacked because winter was very close and food was very scarce.
But even if he were seen as "one of their own," as he suggested, that still would not have protected him. As he himself lamented in his footage, "Tabitha is eating her babies!"
Where do you get the number 131? I tried to look it up. The only bear that comes up is a 2.5 year old female. I can't find any information about the bear, which seems odd as the bear had been branded.

I think he in his mind thought by talking to them they would somehow connect in a human way. These bears are vicious and aggressive and their nature is to eat whatever is near. I feel sad for this man he had something going on in his head. RIP
If an animal is willing to eat it's own cubs it will kill to protect tells you how hard their lives are. Who knows how long those bears went without food and/or water when those people were killed. These are wild animals fighting to live and he's acting like they're his friends. I don't feel bad for those people's consequences but for the animals who died that were trying to survive.

MrCool Mug Gallop off to Alaska, find a bear, build a bridge and the world will be a better place.
MrCool Mug All he did was put bears at risk. By acclimating them to human presence, he made bears think humans were not a threat. As has been proven, bear poaching in the park increased dramatically after Treadwell's death. This guy was a buffoon.
sooperknob
He isnt responsible for that separate phenomena.
MrCool Mug For God sake, they don't NEED defending! That was part of his illness. What he DID do was get an innocent bear shot (not to mention his girlfriend killed) because of his carelessness. Nothing he did was noble.
MrCool Mug Unlike you, there are several people who have taken the time to research his life and have confirmed his mental ILLNESS (bipolar, etc.). Even his parents confirmed it. He doesn't need you defending him any more than the fucking bears needed him to defend THEM! Learn something about a subject before you open your pathetic excuse for a mouth! He was mentally ill just as you are proving that YOU are! Do us all a favour and follow in his footsteps. Go out there and be "noble" and get fuckin' EATEN!
I caught this documentary by accident and couldn't help but wonder what would posses someone to think they could charm a wild bear? Dave's assessment was accurate and the inevitable outcome for one who tempts fate. If anything can be gleaned from all this, it's that you can't live with Grizzlies for very long regardless of how good you are at being a kind warrior. In his death Timothy did manage to teach people a lesson, but its one that should only be taught before someone wants to go live defenseless with grizzlies. A frying pan is not a weapon against a Bear.
Look at his ending face at 0:39 hes all shocked and embarrassed that the audience is laughing like any normal person would at a man who runs up to wild animals.
Maybe they should have laughed less and tried to help the guy.
He is a free man and can do whatever he wants or do you think nobody warned him?
Meister Eder my point was he is obviously mentally unbalanced and should not have been encouraged in anyway. I am not blaming anyone, esp the park rangers. He was a nightmare to deal with, but there should be some rules that permanently expelled that guy from that park after 12 years of molesting the bears, including mounting them while asleep so he could film them.
Awkward...
I'd like to see the full interview
Me too!
still no full one on CZcams a year later I see... dammit
Very perceptive David!
Well, this one is a follow-up visit to Letterman:

MrJm323 You're awesome, thanks.
He was fully aware of the danger he was putting himself in. The documentary Grizzly Man is excellent and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in his story. He says multiple times on tape that there’s a good chance one of these days could be his last.
Wrong answer, Tim
In hindsight, this is such a sad clip.
it was all about tim
the bears were props
definitely - some peoples' egos are deformed , great catastrophe or great wealth occurs
No, he was abused as a child...that makes you look for an outer validation for rest of your life. It really messes you up. He was really messed up, but was it his fault? No. He would have needed help from his own species.

@@bodybuilder718 oh i didn't know that. He seemed nice and polite. I guess that wasn't the case then
Yet again I don't know if that is the honest truth I just heard it from someone
The answer to Dave's question is yes.
David Letterman ment that joke in pure humor not in malice or spite...
At least Dave asked the obvious question.
From the moment he developed his fascination with bears, he was always doomed to be eaten. If not in October 2003, probably a season or two later. The more he interacted with bears, the more he felt safe around them.The more he felt safe, the riskier the behavior he engaged in and the more likely it was that he would take a step too far. He felt past encounters predicted future encounters but his rationale was completely wrong. The analogy he should have considered was a game of Russian Roulette. Just because you got away with pulling the trigger once, does not mean that result will repeat the next time around.
I feel bad for his girlfriend not only did she not want to be there in the first place but she went through a lot worse than treadwell, she had to watch her boyfriend get ripped apart and eaten alive then watch him get dragged away and then left on her own in the dark in bear country which must have been the scariest loneliest place you could imagine, and basically await her fate and know that she was going to go the same way as treadwell being eaten alive, at least when he got attacked it would have been out of surprise for him but when she next saw the bear she must have known what was coming
@Don Teremore where would she run to?
@Don Teremore the point is there is no where to run to where she'd be safe. You can't outrun a bear and even if you could there is nowhere to go.
She could go to their tent - which wouldn't stop a bear. She could climb up a tree, except bears are excellent (and fast) climbers too.
They had no shelter or vehicle.
Do you see what I mean now?
This was period of my life when I was drawn to the WTF, I had read, Touching the Void, Into The Wild, Into Thin Air, people who simply pushed the envelope, but this guy went beyond this, he was warned repeatedly to keep his distance and respect the power and the power not only took his life but Amy's as well, No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none and therefore am no beast, RIP TT and AH
What a prophetic interview!
IKR, I mean how he could have predicted that is completely beyond me. He must have special powers. LMAO!!!
Yea, no one could predict that...smh.

Holy shit, Dave is Nostradamus!!!
No, anyone could see this coming.
@@yanni2112 like you did see the irony? 😂
As a grizzly bear trainer noted, he lived within close proximity to the bears for 13 years without any incident. The only thing people seem to remember is the last day of it, and maybe rightly so
He was an idiot.
The only sad thing is there is no video of it.😮💨
I keep wanting to do something, anything, with his hair. Tim's, not Dave's.
Get in my bellllllyyyy!!!!!!
The other other white meat
Timothy found out the hard way just where he fit into the grizzly bear's "hierarchy"
....he was dinner
famous last words, He didnt believe he would be eaten by a bear, but he actual did. Ignorance is not bliss
Because he also stayed too late that year, as many bears he was familiar with went into hibernation, and ones he weren’t used to seeing came out to get ready.
His face and eyes tell you that he saw that possibilty. His "no" was a lie, because at the moment he was thinking "you got me, this is possible".
David Letterman and all those audience who laughed might have felt really bad later....because joking on something and that happening in reality is very creepy if you think about it.
We laugh at tragedy so it hurts less.
What else could be done in this situation.
Everyone told him he was in danger of being eaten alive by a grizzly bear and told him to stop.
It wasn't a prediction of something that wouldn't have happened, if they hadn't said anything.
It wasn't a prediction at all.
It was an obvious fact.
People laughed because, Timothy Treadwell, made them feel uncomfortable.
Because, no one knew when, but everyone knew how.
And everyone knew he'd been warned by everyone he came across.
You wish. Grizzly boy is nothing but a fart in the wind. David and those audience simply went their own way drinking coffee like nothing ever happened.
Wow!I remember watching this show! One of those, be careful what you wish for moments! Chilling!
He knew in his heart he was going to get killed or eaten.That little awkward interview moment fucked him up.
A guy in the documentary said that the bears must have deemed Treadwell unfit to eat because he HAD to be crazy(maybe rabid) for not running away from them. Very perceptive of them, actually.
"Is it gonna happen that some day we're gonna read a news article about you being eaten by one of these bears"?
"No", lol
@ChrisK513 that's a stupid comment, he didnt die doing what he loved, do you thing this guy wanted to die being eating by a bear? Of course not. This guy died because he was kind of insane, every man in his right sense know that these bears are really dangerous and never would have lived with them .
He was an idiot who made his choices and dragged his poor girlfriend into it. He endangered himself, his girlfriend, the pilot, the rangers who had to clean up the scene and the bears he claimed he loved. He understood nothing and did more harm than good. As the result of his actions two bears were killed. I can feel sorry for her, his and her parents, but not him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Very sad. It's like people with dangerous dogs... 'our dog wouldn't hurt a fly'...etc.
Then the dog mauls a child.
Love animals but also respect them and take any potential for danger, seriously.
Leo Dancor I second that, that was not a good comparison.
Exactly ive owned pitbulls all my life , some our very gentle and some more aggressive than others depending on bloodline . My point is I wouldn't have that type of dog are around a small child in my home. Kids act weird giving off bad vibes that the dog can sense , therefore triggering an attack .
True but you gotta know how to raise a dog Cesar millian style.
Dogs are good even pitbulls! If you dissapline and train them right.
Bears on the other hand are too instinctive and it's near impossible unless you have some sorta power?
children get mauled by dogs because of what parents allow them to do to dogs! no dog is dangerous if raised properly! cant say the same for a bear!
@Alex Mercer You are exactly the type of person that gets small babies murdered by dogs.
An animal is an animal is an animal, and you're naive. Do an IQ test please.

Timothy Treadwell remained when food was scarce. Something he never did before. I think he consciously knew of the imminent and immense danger of following through on that decision.
Doubley sad is that he allowed his girlfriend to accompany him, understanding the greatest risk.. Timothy knew bears, their habits and the hibernating season, and how scarcity of food for bear's triggers a violently dangerous social order.
Timothy covered the camera lense and allowed audio to record.
Timothy also allowed his Sociopathic rage towards the overseers of the park to be video captured, and by not following park rules for camping and engagement with bears, he invited his demise.
It was noted that Timothy's girlfriend shared her bear fears and there is public knowledge she entertained leaving Timothy. She better than anyone experienced Timothy's psychosis, and perished because Timothy was numb to human needs, while she wasn't?
His girlfriend was on her period (menstrual cycle) that's a deal breaker in itself.
Screw the park rangers Tim won he helped the bears prepare for hibernation
whos watching this in 2017 I feel bad
Can't find the full interview. Would love to see it.
This is a hoax. There is no full letterman interview with TREAD WELL. How stupid are people, he changed his name to TREAD WELL and Letterman is in on the joke. He just happens to get eaten by a bear on his 13th visit ? The coroner and other individuals in the film appear to be actors , and surprise surprise TREAD WELL was also an actor.
yeah i love bears and wildlife, but he was just an idiot. I watched the documentary, and he convinced himself that the bears accepted him. But this is naive. Several scenes in the movie show quite clearly that they do NOT see him as one of them.
There's a lot of irony from the last words that came out of Letterman. I wonder what he did after he found out about Tim's death.
How prophetic your words were Mr. Letterman.
He brought grizzly bears plight to the consciousness, and although he died in his efforts, I applaud his consciousness surround the sentience of animals.
Kate Ann the rescue team had to kill 6 bears to recover his remains, he achieved nothing, by"protecting"the Bears he ultimately led to 6 of them being killed.
. exceptionally good care of them exceptional . That was a bear sanctuary and the National Park Service took exception stupidity at that . Tim Treadwell caused the death of several bears because of his stupidity and wanton stupid The last bear that was killed there was 20 years prior to this incident
The bears showed up to eat him , they’re like “ hey , Dave sent us. It’s time”
best example of irony I've ever seen
Are u American? Cause none of you's seem to know the meaning of irony
+frank brodie Then wtf is the meaning of irony? Tell me fucking now
+Micer Hanner When something is said as if it were in quotations, or, where what is said is not necessarily meant. Do you have a dictionary? Don't be lazy. What that moron said is not irony. It's a coincidence. There's big difference.
+Bela Tarr No, there are 3 different types of irony, the example you gave is called verbal irony. This video could be classed as either Situational irony, or dramatic irony. Nice job making an ass of yourself
Controversial Radio No, you have no fucking clue, moron. Go back to school, or pick up a book once in a while. This clip is NOT ironic AT ALL. You fucking shithead.
He started to say something, and then that awkward hesitation, oh god....
In his eyes, either a realisation, or that Letterman had hit on a subconscious death wish.
It was so nice of him to appear on Letterman to promote Grizzly Man. That can't have been easy for him.
He was a fall out from Society. I can some what relate to him.
the wild is beautiful and not a bad place to be, if you're wary - die young? no prob if you get the movie others don't, was worth it .
High school Hottie he got eaten ALIVE and his poor girlfriend who wanted to leave days in advance was torn apart as well. Was it worth it ? His girlfriends family would disagree.
@Richard G I would hope he was. Trump is delusional and senile due to old age. While Biden seems to be heading in that direction, he is not quite there yet. Trump is having a terrible go at this whole presidency thing. One of the worst terms in a long time. A war waged between civilians and the government, as if we have no outside enemies, and the worst part is that the idiot chose a side. He didn't even think to make a statement to placate agitators and self proclaimed heroes.
@@289rory thats crazy bro but who asked
So you're gay huh?
i seriously regret ever hearing about this tragedy, i got curious about what happened then i read what happened, i watched the documentary, i heard the audio tape of hes and her death, could have been fake, but sounded so real, i actually feel terror now, i cant get this image out of my head of he being eaten alive and those screams, i feel sick, im stupid being so curious, this truly haunts me, and we have bears here too, i realated to that situation too much, dont listen the audio if you can!!
I listened then regretted it
@@yanni2112 He commented 11 years ago, hope he moved on since :)
The audio you listened to is fake anyway; the original tape has never been released, which I think it's a good thing.
If what you heard haunts you, maybe visualising 2 idiots play acting in front of a recorder for thrills on the internet can help you lessen the trauma in a way.
Remember guys, The incident that ended his life, Was the situation of a bear who happened to come over the camp site of his. Things triggers in an animals mind. There is living things there moving, the smell of food.. If the bear never came across his camp i think a bear never would've harmed this guy. Cause he only went close to one when he felt like he could. So i thinks its natural to him to say what he did here :)
Rest in peace, Grizzly man :) You had a powerful connection and respect with the nature and i am proud of him doing what he loved and dying for it, as he said he didn't mind.

The bears have seasonal aggression related to the amount of food available. The attack that killed Treadwell happened right in the middle of this "angry season" that bears have. Treadwell should have known this, and not been anywhere near the forest at that time of year.
otonanoC I think he did no it,, he had a row with sum airport security and he went back to the grizzly maze,, most bears were gone hibernating,, the bear that gotem was just hungry and couldn't get food to fill up,,,it was gonna happen anyways,
His camp site, was on a bear trail...he made it there intentionally to interact with bears
This is terrible, and horrid, if only, if only he had being safer. He literally camped on their trail and path, used no repellent, no weapons or electric fencing, it was just too much. As far as I have known, brown bears are extremely dangerous creatures, just looking at scenes from mothers protecting their cubs strikes fear, it is a huge powerful animal. He literally camped in their path, he stayed in a critical time when they are desperate for food with no form of defence. I read they recovered remains with his head detached with some spinal bone left, to me that was gruesome, but it also tells me the bear was being instinctual, he was trying to eat, and trying to feed for the coming winter. We slaughter cows, chickens, pigs and sheep to feed, it is just terrible when we who are in dominance have to become victims of nature and its food chain. This is a terrible case, but one that inspires the need for safety, common sense, a healthy sense of fear, and God. God loves me, but does he want me to venture out in such a reckless manner, certainly not, I pray to anyone who reads, seeks God and pray for him to keep you safe, and be safe.
let's get the whole interview uploaded
This is a hoax. There is no full letterman interview with TREAD WELL. How stupid are people, he changed his name to TREAD WELL and Letterman is in on the joke. He just happens to get eaten by a bear on his 13th visit ? The coroner and other individuals in the film appear to be actors , and surprise surprise TREAD WELL was also an actor.
Dave saw that coming.
Hahahahahaha this is awesome foreshadowing.
He says “I give them lots of room”
Continues to put his tent in the middle of a bear trail in a month where Grizzly bears are most violent.
all these negative comments no need for it. He did what he felt was right, I mean when i say this is because , he liked loved them in a way that not no one could understand not even i understand this deep connection he had with the bears "why bears" you know but give the man credit he survived 13 summers outthere no weapon or anything to cause harm to the bears rip tim.
Ive survived 50 summers without living with bears...
No one should give him credit for putting his or his partner in danger. To give him credit, I would be encouraging others to do what he did. And I wish that upon nobody bud. Just goes to prove darwins theory of "survival of the fittest" or in this case, "the smartest"
Note to self, when on a talk show, listen to the host's prophetic warnings.
Its such a shame that he came to an end so young in life. He had the potential to do so much more. RIP Tim
This was when this fool still had his arms and legs!
Yep, he acted like the grizzlies were his pet dogs. He didn’t respect that they are wild animals and paid the price.
David said that without even hesitating, like he knew its going to happen eventually. Common sense
Dave was right on about tim getting eaten by a bear LOL you can tell Tim got upset when the crowd was laughing LOL
If you want to learn about human's and Bears there is only one man to turn to. His name is Charlie Russell "Bear Man from Kamchatka". Every Year he goes to Russia to raise grizzly Bear Cubs. The documentary is amazing and heart warming. You can find it under the name:
"The Edge of Eden." Now this guy knows bears & all he takes with him into the wild to protect his bear cubs from predator larger Bears is a can of Pepper Spray. He looks after the orphoned cubs as if he was their mother.
The look on his face when he said eaten by a bear
why do people always become obsessed with dangerous animals, like bears, wolves, sharks etc. how come no one ever felt the urge to go live among penguins, or flamingos, or sheep
