    I was lucky. the bear was not hungry. he found a good spot and took a nap. I waited there for about 1 hr until a ranger came to save me.

    Getting off the trail is the smartest move, not getting back and filming. Bears at Brooks Falls are familiar with humans, but you should never push your luck.

    • @lisakolbuss438
      @lisakolbuss438 Před 17 dny

      Visitors are told to do that at bear school before they are allowed to go free range. This visitor preferred to get more footage of a bear walking to him rather than follow the rules.

    I’m having an anxiety attack watching this. That bear looks serious. I really hope this guy has some bear spray because he’s about to need it!!! Rangers should consider passing out tranquilizer guns to tourists in case of this. If this guy turns and runs, he’s a dead man.

    • @Bomber411
      @Bomber411 Před rokem +1

      Tranq guns don't save people's lives. They anger the animal and for about 15-20 mins it goes on an angry rampage till it falls. That would get him killed.

    • @tracyyarbrough3358
      @tracyyarbrough3358 Před rokem

      Not sure shooting the bear would work either. This guy would just be toast

    • @Juststeph.
      @Juststeph. Před 10 měsíci +2

      I personally think that if someone was going to carry a tranquilizer gun, then the park should not be accessible to humans. This park belongs to the bears and the humans that visit need to except the fact that it’s pretty much run by the bears. Just step off to the side of the trail and let the bear pass. That’s what they teach you in bear school at Brooks Camp. 🐻

    That big bear has swagger. When bears walk with that type of confidence they know they are the top apex predator and could kill you and eat you. That bear might have just had a huge meal. If not, it would have killed you and ate you. Very scary!

    You are supposed to step off the path if a bear is on the trail... a good friend of mine goes there every year.

  • @raymonda5476
    @raymonda5476 Před rokem +1

    Everyone who arrives at brooks falls in Katmai has to attend a Ranger orientation, and they tell you clearly: get off the path if a bear is coming, just go to the left or the right and retreat. If this guy had done so he wouldn’t have had to have been rescued by a ranger.
    The Bears are really in their own world. It’s very likely the bear didn’t even know he was there. At Brooks. They are totally habituated to humans. I had a bear follow me off the trail with three other people. When we shouted at him he was startled and ran. He was so engrossed in looking for food that he didn’t see hear or smell us.

    Amazing bear…..however, I believe this to be a highly dangerous hobby or sport. People very often take it for granted that these bears, although pudgy and chunky , are slow……. Be aware of this untruth. They are fast and will not hesitate to charge when annoyed, intimidated, or feel threatened.

    Ignorance is knowing a bear is following/stalking you, yet you wait for it to catch up with you so you can get video footage for facebook and youtube. That bear may seem slow and sluggish but he can cover 25 yards in 5 seconds when he kicks in the afterburner.

    Okay let's start right off the bat by saying what this person is doing wrong. They are moving backwards away from the bear. They need to stand in place and move off the trail and let the bear pass because it will, it is not interested in the person, but if the person looks like they're running away that will trigger a predatory response.
