I'm afraid that bear won't survive long. If he's lost his inhibitions about approaching humans he will likely be destroyed. If you ever get to travel where wild bears roam, please don't feed them. All it does is condition them to seek humans as a food supply and that dooms them.

I thought the thread title indicated that Mr Grylls had 'come out'

 

[Barn Owl]

Scary indeed.

Bad enough being attacked by the likes of Pheasant and geese over here or a rutting deer.

Stalked by a bear though,

It would certainly be that Jason, but what would you do in that situation ?if it kept coming like that , that is certainly a moment you would wish you never had a bushcraft knife and wish you had a big huge zombie slayer instead .

Hahahaha!

It's times like these where you need your inner 'Chuck Norris'.

 

[PaulSanderson]

i wouldnt like to be in his shoes...would be interested to see the rest of that video, if indeed there ever was one! poor bear has probably been destroyed by now if it either a) attacked the guy or just got too close for food, or b) wandered into a touristy camp for food. things like this just serve to remind us that we belong to nature, it doesnt belong to us.

 

[luckylee]

bloody hell, i hope he made it, now i no why there are so many guns in the states.

All he wanted to do was play fetch with that stick, bless him

We had a brown beer round our camp t'other year (camping in Northern Greece), fortunately adrenalin kicked in and there was a 3 of us, so we shouted, banged sticks against tress and once it started running away we ran after it 10m's or so with branches from the fire.

After the adrenalin had died down down i have to admit i physically was unable of standing as my knees had turned to jelly

I think that guy had it worse though as he was on his own, and the beer was following him for a fair while.

Tough call though as if it attacks and your on your todd your absolutely screwed.
You can't out run, can't out climb it and you can't out swim it.

Only real chance you've got is to scare it off before it attacks or play dead.

Scary scary stuff.

 

[HHazeldean]

That is seriously scary, I am amazed that in that situation, the first thing that he thought to do was to get the camera out and film it.

Not neccessarily true. If that's a grizzly bear they cannot climb. At all. Hard to tell though from the video if it's a young grizz or a brown phase of a black bear.

Yeah. That makes me wonder what we're not seeing; is he staging it by baiting the bear?

 

[HHazeldean]

I don't honestly think that anyone would be stupid enough to do that, but its an interesting point. The bear also seems surprisingly docile, not actually trying to attack him even though it is so close.

 

[_mark_]

grizzly bear's can climb.
