Backpacker Survival Skills: Survive a Bear Attack!

[Coilingtechcom]

I actually knew a guy in high school that got attached he pretended to be dead and ended up crawling back to camp. A miracle that he survived.

"hell yeah.." hahahaha

2:04 "hell yea"

hahaha

[SXTCMODE]

awwwsome video

[im2fatactual]

Try spreading Peanut butter on your balls.

[missgw2608]

Pmsl!! : )

I hope I never encounter either one, but if I do, I'll just think about this vid and probably start lmao!! I hope that won't piss the bear off too much! 

[Mr3rdparty]

Allways carry pepper spray, and put bells on your clothes to warn off bears. Know your bear droppings also. Black bear droppings will have nuts and berries in them, and grizzley bear droppings will smell like pepper and have little bells in them.

[sprucetree72]

bite him in the head.

Nothing beats the 870 with 00 buck shot. laser sites with spot lite.

[iamsoboredlol]

Does that bear have twitter?

"Just got hit with four rocks from some jerk in sunglasses"

[Woodenarrows]

“Hell Ya” :-) You know, at first I thought the bear suit was a bit dorky but… it allowed you to play out the situations on camera very well. Good video and advice. I’ll tell you though, faced with a bluff charge from a Grizzly, I don’t think I’d have the nerve to stand there and wait to see if he stopped. In reality I’d probably have discharged my bear spray.

[CoTurkeyHunter]

Funny and Great advise !

[singaporegang]

the bear wears sneakers! 3.51

[smallblocksupercharg]

play dead and let him lick your toe

[636675guy]

orrrr u could not jus be a noob and not get in that situation

Tumbs up if u agree

[nipzilla]

.357 magnum pistol will tame any bear. period.

i shot one before on a camping trip. i know it works.

[nirvanahater]

what a faggot

[thegoodlocust]

If you use bear spray then that fucker will have peppery smelling shit the next day - shoot the fucker with a gun.

[RightieUntilDeath]

Take a powerful handgun, .357 or .44 when hiking and hide it. If the park rangers catch you with it, or you have to shoot a bear or mountain lion, at least you're alive. "Its better to be tried by twelve than carried by six."

[Mr007Viewer]

cant we just give a good kick in the nuts. 50% chance the bear is a male bear.

[hoshnasi]

1. Bear spray.

2. SHOOT IT.

[fran6283]

i always carry a .45 jsut in case poking the eyes out on the bear dont work! haha

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

reading the comments below, some people are confusing defensive tactics with brown and black bear partly because the entire video was filmed with a guy in a brown bear suit! You should have emphasized that in the beginning of the video the bear is black and to imagine he is black for the whole video and people will stop wondering, then why is the suit brown? but good video in a hokey way.

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

you talked about a black bear while in a brown bear suit. could be confusing to some people really. you know this right? secondly, living in alaska, we had a person attacked and while they played dead and the attack stopped, they got up too soon and the brown came back and really tore them up. so, when laying down for a brown bear attack, make sure you spread your legs out rather close together because you will be harder to roll over. also, do not get up right away and control your adrenalin.

[saabaru05]

Grizzlys wont eat you, black bears will. Despite carrying a firearm I will use bear spray before trying to kill it. Bears are incredibly sensitive to bear spray because of very sensitive noses. This is good advice. I almost literally ran into a bear on my downhill bike while in Whistler. It was a young bear too. He took off as quickly as I did and never had to see mom.

[Reed12223]

the dude in the bear suit must be dying of heat lol

[wonderwolf223]

Ewok?

[KebapSB]

bears can kill you with 1 hit dumb ass

[IIISWIFTYIII]

@KebapSB why the fuck did he play dead for. For the bear to think hes dead for he wont hit hem bumb ass 

[Mueiwark]

What bullshit about attacking the bear... before you could even get your hands close to his eyes (ridiculous) he's brings you down with his weight. Once down, it's going to be unlikely that you'll survive.

[borderraven]

Grizzlies love to eat your upper leg muscles, because that's where the easy meal is.

[samanbandana]

playing dead wouldnt work when the bear is coming to eat you! i think thats when you should fight back!

[drew2pac]

for those of you who are saying 'just shoot the bear' - most people watching this will encounter bears whilst visiting national parks..... guns are not allowed within park bounderies.....

and also, i am sure you could hit a nickle from a 100meters, and run faster than usian bolt, fight better than tyson, with an IQ to match einstein - basically you are the best thing on youtube! but try drawing a gun, and aiming, whilst being charged. chances are most people would just freeze up.

[sidney420]

It would be so ironic if they got attacked by a bear while making this.

[TheCrazyFinn]

@sidney420 Even more so if they didn't survive! XD

[nitroexpress700]

@sidney420 it would be even more ironic if the guy in the bear costume gets raped by the bear then eaten

[kimm420]

How about the old fashioned method... Run Like f***

[Mueiwark]

Dude, bears can 1. run WAY faster, 2. climb much faster, 3. swim much faster.

Whatever you do, you are wasted lol.

[lulabelldesigns]

Thanks guys for your hard work to teach us!

[garbagio]

Great video guys! You covered all scenarios well and had great visual descriptions!

[porsche154]

that helped

[Garret789]

should u kick a bear in the nuts?

[Garret789]

o ya lol lets throw a rock at its head and think it wont get mad

[RatafakTehPlachta]

lol fight the bear?

[LachZapointe316]

and... do you not play dead with the black bears? why?

[Surefire3333]

Because they are smaller and less agressive if intimidated. Have you ever seen a black bear? There quite small or the size of an average woman length and height wise.

[KXrhyder547]

probably because it will try and eat you dead or alive so your best bet is to give it the fight of your life. However, judging from the info about grizzly encounters, I don't think that they have much interest in dead prey so playing dead would be better then trying to fight with the huge ass bear and pissing it off more.

[LachZapointe316]

Lol I love when he is throwing rocks and sticks, the bear is like 'what the hell?' lol

[seka1986]

If you toss an M-80 at it the bear will most likely run away.

[drew8107]

How much did the poor sap in the bear costume get paid for that degrading performance?

[digitalhawkeye]

He wasn't, he's an intern. >: D

[Ramblin66man]

Dude, you are SO BRAVE!!! I would have just shit my pants then shot it before it took one step towards me but...I don't carry ski poles into bear country LOL!!!

[ACR406]

Great video. Always have a safety plan BEFORE you head out into the backcountry!! Its the responsible thing to do for you, your family and the members of the Search and Rescue community.

[stengunpolka1942]

Buckshot: the original (and still the best!) bear spray.

There have been guys who have fought off bears with knives or sticks but that must have been a terrifying experience!

[05MagnumSXT]

This is a perfect example of why you should ALWAYS have your AR with you.

[falcon642]

WHAT?! Assault rifle? Do you want to stop the bear or just piss him off? Assault rifles are extremely underpowered for bears. Many state won't let you use a AR to hunt deer because its so underpowered. .357 Mag or bigger at least.

[Jester995]

Yeah they won't let you use assault rifles for hunting because they don't always kill outright and thus aren't humane. I think maybe you are forgetting that if the first hit only wounds you have another 30 or so to finish the job. Making out an assault rifle is underpowered for killing ANYTHING is quite frankly laughable.

[falcon642]

The issue is if you can kill the animal with an assault rifle before it gets to you and harms you. Bears are fast, do you really think you can hit the bear will all 30 rounds before it covers the distance to you?

Talk to Vietnam vets about trying to stop charging water buffalo with M-16s. The .223 round the M-16/AR-15 uses is a glorified .22. I'm not going to bet my life on that.

[Surefire3333]

The only thing you could do in that situation is aim for vitals and hope you get lucky.

[BobLoblaw23]

"hell yea..." LOOL

[dsarti1]

I prefer a hot load full metal jacket 44 mag. a round of that to the head will put a end to that too

[teejate]

@dsarti1 Yeah? Well I prefer bears letting people like you know how insignificant you really are. So I guess there really are a lot of paths up the mountain, huh?

[dsarti1]

@teejate exactly why I am allways armed

[NoClue468]

I can't hear anyhting where's th sound?
