  • playing dead is for pussies,i prefer to fight it,bare arms

  • oh hey lets play dead and welcome the bear for a breakfast! hey bear i cover my neck, take my leg!  this is the most bullshit tip!! i better run for my live and i know in this istuation every human will run faster, like in olympia they will run for to be alive :P

  • What if the cell phone rings during the attack?

  • bullshit...i bet no on earth can play dead when a 500kg grizlly is sniffing you as food

  • Alternative version:

    When Planning a hiking trip through bear territory

    A. Swallow your naive credos and bring a goddamn firearm (or a redneck if you're too much of a squeamish bitch yourself)

    B. Be Jedediah Smith (only available for people who are Jedediah Smith or Chuck Norris)

    C. Don't. Just don't, you dumb motherfucker

  • playing dead doesn't satisfy my blood lust though.

  • This is old advice... as mentioned by others if the bear is hungry and you play dead then your chances of survival are zero. Things to do is bring "at least" one bear mace, a big knife, even a gun when possible and keep camp garbage sealed air_tight and away from the sleeping tents. If a bear is charging first shoot the gun, once it's 50feet start spraying the mace, the knife is a slim last chance for you . Things NOT to do is traveling alone or wearing perfume/cologne, and running away.

  • 32 peoples "play dead" and where killed

  • 32 people tryed running from a bear

    

  • D. Shoot it with your Smith and Wesson 460 in the chest and make a Daniel Boone hat out of his eight foot tall ass.

  • voglio vedere chi vede un grizzly e si sdraia per terra così!!

  • yeah do dead, it's more easier for hungry bear

  • This must have been done by the same people that sponsored this training.

    Monty Python - Self-Defense Against Fruit

  • Hi there, i think this guy copied my idea!! lol

    But my channel is more like FailBlog.

  • duck and cover!

  • hahaha fuck playing dead!! when I'm scared I get super human strength and adrenalin... shiiiit I could jump a 10 foot fence! fuck that bear, I'll go Olympic track star on his ass. lmao

  • I have been feeding bears; after noticing one bear can eat over 50 pounds of chow and is still hungry. There are no reports from the missing dead. That fucking bear will eat every scrap of you .so I doubt if the people are going to report failure of tactic, to get their money back the guy is secured. And I know because the bear is so thourghal at dinner that their are thousands more people consumed than whats been reported bears can be used by cites to eliminate people near outside of town.

  • And if the Bear starts eating you ?  Should you keep playing dead ?

  • .44 magnum or a K-BAR should get you out.

  • i think i would just shoot him in the face :DDD

  • I aint playin dead. a few swipes and you are no longer playing, it's the real thing. I don't kill anything unless I'm gonna eat it or it's gonna eat me, so the latter applies, and a 357 magnum, carried with all due watchfulness will help you to draw and fire and maybe succeed. The first thing that they don't tell us is that loud noises such as a blast will scare a bear. Even though it will only work once or twice, you can escape.

  • what is the point to live whit face and arms mess up like some frankenstein when you surive...take yours big knife and fight that asshole , he vill kill you or damage you anyway but if you are lucky to cut his troath or arms maybe he gonna remember you in pain for a long time... if you must die ,die whith some dignity!

  • Will this method work in overcrowded prisons with few showers?

  • i know karate...

  • well i wont go hunting if i dont have some form of blade, so ill just stab it 8 times in the neck

  • AI prefer to stay out there area point blank and that shit dont work.lol

  • no you dont want to play dead. u dont want to run from it either. start walking away... slowly... with backwards steps. it's not a good idea to look them in the eye either when they are suprised or startled, they take it as a challenge. and some bears will STILL attack. u want the best protection, bring a .45.

  • @renzokata : A .45 will feel like misquitos to a big brown bear.

  • @whutbrush no it wont. it will hurt it. he will either run or go down, depending on where u hit him.

  • When hiking in bear country ask yourself if you are on top of the food chain. If the answer is no do something smart.

  • Hey look everyone, if you feel the need to take a nature hike in territory inhabitated with animals that will kill and eat you .Go home or carry a weapon that will save your life when attacked.

  • "The bear will loose interest after a few swipes"

    Yeah, that's only 600lbs per sq inch with 9 inch claws. Sucks to be you, lol.

  • RAVE!!!!!

  • this not even a bear attack what in the world are they doing up to a bears face i say its a robot

  • this Expert works for PETA and the name of his page is Feed the Bears

  • here is what happens to a Dear that played dead.

    watch?v=sWmXu87zr7g&feature=fv­w

  • No you won't. You won't survive. Bear expert? Maybe you mean BARE expert. Playing dead is the WORST thing you can do. if a bear could talk, he'd say THANK you for making my job so much easier. He would then start EATING you!

    Bear expert, my dirty balls!

  • HAHAHA

  • haha loose intrest? he will eat you as a burrito :)

  • I should advice you to back off slowly and talk to the bear loud and clear. it works with Swedish brown bear....

  • I love bearzy's!!!!

  • I prefer the method of firearms to pretending im dead.

    or if you go to bear turf, bring some bear mace...that shit will blind and choke the biggest baddest bear to the ground...been there and done it.

  • @BukuHaze420 : Except that recent bear attacks leading to fatalities have shown signs of bear mace being used at the mauling sites. Sometimes it works. A hungry bear is a hungry bear. They will get you.

  • @BukuHaze420 Bear mace > anything

  • Ya, real pro's here lol...

    They forgot to tell you....

    When you cover the back of your neck with your hands make sure your good hand is under the bad hand.....If you are right handed make sure your left if covering your right. When he goes for your neck he will chew up your bad hand ;-)

  • P.S. Spread your legs slightly so he can't roll you over.

  • yes ive killed the human...dinner time CHOMP!!

  • Used to work as a logger and came in contact with bears several times over the years. The one advice I got when first starting was to always stay my ground unless the bear was charging as only sick animals will actively charge (and eat) you.

    My only scary incident was with a scrawny looking black bear. I quite easily outmanouvered it though by guiding it round a slalom course of sharp turns, trees and rocks. They're not exactly built like mountain lions so why make it easy?

  • dude wanted to just touch the kids. Love the music, hopefully when I am in the wilderness and I hear EBM music I will know what to do, kinda like a rave being raided, face down hands behind your head.

  • What about your spine?

  • the bear will lose interest after a few swipes!?! wtf

  • wtf?

    whos gonna play dead?

    i'm gonna run ass hell if i see a bear !

    people is to scared to act like hes dead in front of a bear

  • Carry a .357 or other Magnum minimum that will easily penetrate any bear. Empty 6 rounds & repeat as necessary.

  • its absolutely stupid and obnoxious to think playing dead is going to work I have had many encounters face to face none with any incident pure luck is all it was these so called bear experts have no idea when and which bear is not going to be so nice you should be allowed to protect yourself with a gun this is an animal which if is going to attack its going to do some serious damage .

  • I do not hike in bear infested territory unarmed.

    If I am in bear country I ALWAYS carry a device that goes bang at least 6 times without having to reload and I know how to use it. If you are not willing to carry such a device and be ready to drop the bear at a seconds notice stay outa bear country.If you think playing dead will stop a grizz go ahead but at the same time if you hear a loud bang and the bear falls next to you that'll be me protecting myself the good old fashion way.

  • Nobody believs your bullshit, you sad man.

  • this is only with grizzly/brown bears.with black bears you fight back because if they think ur dead they will eat you.and remember you dont go by color to tell them apart because brown bears can have black fur and black bears can be brown and even white kinda resembling a miniature polar bear

  • better teach the bear play dead if i comes around! haha

  • You also must open your legs so you can't be rolled over by the bear. When covering your neck keep your best hand closest to your neck. Eg: If you are right handed your left hand should cover your right hand. You bad hand will get crushed and not the one you use the most!

  • i would rape the bear up the asss

  • Always keep bear pepper spray. But fuck that, i would run and if he catch me then i would play dead.

  • You're supposed to put your head between your legs.....& kiss your ass boodbye!

  • ground and pound is the best way to discourage the bear. i hear there easy to do a rear naked choke on if your yuo ming

  • since i study mma, ill take the bear down and then do some ground and pound, then after that, ill put him in the flying armbar and snap its shoulders. simple

  • good luck with that loser :)

  • That is so stupid..

    Once it gets on u it will keep stepping on u breaking ur rib cage and ull die

    -.-

  • rofl play dead

  • hahaha..yeah mon!

  • best idea, bring fedor along with you

  • I thought the answer was run away! lol

  • this will not work, if the grizzly is hungry it will eat you. The best chance is to have a gun if not than a knife and try to stab its vital organs. For knife melee combat youll have little chance to survive but still more chance than playing dead

  • and if you dont, unless you can sprint faster than 35 miles per hour, anything other than playing dead will almost 100% get you killed. the trick is not to put yourself in that position. if a hungry grizzly's charging at you, and you dont have a weapon, you're pretty much fucked.(though you'd be suprised how fast you can run if you have to)

  • and if is hungry.what u do?

  • That was soooooo cool!

  • i just watched a clip of a man claiming to kill a bear with a stick.

  • there was a man who killed a black bear by trowing a log at it

  • always carry a 500 magnum.... the end....

  • lol if your not bleeding with a 1000 pound bear dead on you but the shot would scare it off if it didnt sneak up on you look up real bear attack dosnt last 5 seconds

  • S&W 500 Magnum will do the job.

  • hahaha that will deff do more than the job that gun will blow that fucking bears head smoove off

  • just offer to suck the bear off?

  • epic post

  • i would kill the bear with a gun and make spicy meatballs :) +nice carpet

  • Grizzlies are ENDANGERED!Don't kill them

  • Instead of being stupid, just make sure you always have 2 people and 2 guns, both with powerful rifles.

  • I worked in the Arctic NWT- there I talked with several older Native fellows, who all laughed at videos like this one. Your best bet is not to play dead, step back slowly if you can- failing that fight hard punch hard kick hard, yell at the very top of your lungs- chances are good the bear will get confused and leave. Play dead- lol

  • Yeh, well, they could be right, if they were talking about Polar Bears. You only play dead to a Brown bear, Polar Bears are pure carnivores and will just eat you. Grizzlies don't eat much meat, and an attack is usually defensive, so playing dead usually works. Black bears usually run rather than charge, so if one attacks, it's decided you're food, so it's best to fight.

  • 45 slugs will do the job, better him/she dead than me wounded, screw the tree huggers.

  • how selfish

  • Bullshit. The only way to survive is to shoot the fucking thing. I read a few incidents where people "played dead" and the Grizzly's slowly ate them alive. pretty hard to play dead when your rib cage is being torn out.If a Griz attacks me then you can bet it'll get it's head split in half by my rifle or my friends shotgun. Tree huggers have everyone believing these are "peaceful" creatures. Watch one rip a deer to shreds while it is still alive and then tell me it's peaceful. Fuckin morons.

  • If you've got a gun, or a freind with a shotgun, you're obviously going to use it, moron. This video is about what to do if you haven't got firearms or bearsprpay. How dumb can you possibly get? Many people have used this and survived. But if you think you can fight a grizzly, give it a go.

  • i dont undersand....

    wouldn't running away be a good option if you run around trees and not in a straight line.

    Can't u out-smart him?

  • The bear maneuvers much better than any human, and climbs trees at about 4 times the speed you can.

    But there is no possible way I could get this through to someone who has never seen one run down and kill a full grown moose.

    They move incredibly fast, they climb incredibly fast, they posses enough strength to rip you apart without even trying, and running triggers a predatory instinct that makes them give chase. But hey, if you think you know better than the experts, go ahead and try running.

  • i think that even if you play dead like they show you in the vid and the bear takes a few swipes at you with his massive sharpe claws if you not of very big build you might still end up actualy dead!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm with the fight back option but only after you played dead for a bit and then you roll over and stab him with a knife, kick him in the balls and blow his head off with a sawn off shotgun which you should always carry with you in bear territory.

  • lol not sure that would work...

    stabing with a knife will only anger him, not injure him enough.

    Kicking in balls will make him slit ur throat lols. Blowing off head with a shogun might work lolololol

  • If u guy got no weapon play dead if ya got a hunting knife then goes for it.i seen a hunter that was attack kill a grizzly with his knife.cause he drio his gun.never run this one lady ran up and tree and was kill after the bear climb up.

  • kinda hard to "play" dead when a bear decides to sink its 4" canines into your skull...

  • yaaa..."play dead" like your going to be in a few mins. I'd get the fuck out of there or go up a tree..

  • blow his head off....

  • oki il play dead and the bear thinks well that went easy.. and then starts eating you O_o i mean that could be a possebility if he is hungry i mean

  • It's what you do BEFORE you're attacked that counts. Like buy some bear spray and carry it on a belt. And make a noise as you walk. And keep your eyes open. If you haven't done any of these, play dead. you might as well get used to it.

  • i actually think that running away might be the best, because although it can run faster than you, it doesn't mean that it can catch u, try to catch a old man slowly jogging in front of you, you'll have to jump onto him even if your faster. The bear would probably chase you for some distance but so long as you don't fall down, it can't pawn onto you and since its not predatory it will probably give up.

  • Trust me, running is the worst possible thing you can do. You are gonna top out at around 15 MPH, he'll easily break 30, and the running away triggers a predatory instinct, so he will kill you when he catches you.

    And he will catch you, easily.

  • Are you kidding me...You shoot it.

  • id climb up a tree n throw squirrels at him!!! or id giv him a line of ket n rave!!

  • Bears can climb trees better than you can.

    I think the rave is the better idea.

  • im with c64. but when it gets close enough i will without a doubt try to kick it in the testicles as hard as i can. hopefully that will get me a few feet farther

  • i'm still going to run, anyway.

  • This is a bit misleading!..."you will come out bloodied but you will come out alive"...hmmmm not true!.,This gives the impression just play dead and the bear will definitely leave you alive!.

    Well the Sad case of Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend is a example , he tried to play dead!!...and ended up DEAD!

  • i pick C if i got a hunting knife or weapon.i always carry my 7 inches blade hunting knife so i can kill the bear if he want to rumble.I heard of story a guy kill a bear ith a knife so why cant i do it?

  • Cos you are a twat! Get real

  • griz are huge! Stab that sucker in the nose!

  • How do you behave for example if a tiger encounters you and approaches you, lion big cats? Polar Bear?

  • Polar bears are the most vicious bears - but really, they only live in a few places in the world. For both mountain lions and black bears you fight back. Black bears, once they attack, are more prone to do more damage because they don't quit as early as a grizzly. Make sure you know the difference between a black bear and grizzly!

  • cougar, leopard, cheetah and any big cat except a lion or tiger, you fight back.

    tiger or lion- it is complex, depends on situation, but tigers very rarely attack.

    Agaiant polar bear, nothing will help, because if it attacks, it will attack to kill and later eat you.

    In general, it depends on circumstances. what are the surroundings? how did it got to attack (cub defence, startled bear, etc..)

    generally, if bear or large cat attacks to kill, there is little you can do.

  • You wont need to play dead then...you will definately be dead he he!

  • oh cmon. if the bear is hungry, it will eat you no matter if it thinks you are dead or alive. They eat garbage so i think even a dead human would be a good treat for them.

  • always carry guns if you need to go where bears live no kidding.

    that's essential.

  • i would clim up the tree :D i wouldnt pretend that i am dead ..!bite my legs,arms,ass! woho i am alive,but i m invalid! ...tree or run fastes u can but first drop your equipment :)

  • I'd rather fight and go out in a bloody blaze of glory. Like in reign of fire with Matthew McConaughey when he jumps off the smoke stack with the axe and.. oh wait nevermind.

  • you won't go out in a bloody blaze of glory but instead a moron of the century......hahahahahhahahaha­hahahhahahahahaha

  • A. or C. sound like better alternatives. This notion that an animal will chase anything that runs just sounds ignorant; unless it's hungry, it isn't gonna waste its time chasing you down. Plus, all bears eat carrion, meaning they eat dead animals, never passing up an easy meal.

    Within us we have a fight or flight response, which is there for a reason, not playing dead.

  • Yes, sure......An Italian biker was almost eaten alive in Canada after doing all what the video shows...He was saved by a park ranger who heard him screaming when the bear was starting his "meal"....I met him in Argentina and showed me the terrible scars the attack had left him in his arms and legs... He was lucky....I don´t say these rules don´t work, but I`m sure they are not 100% secure, we are dealing with wild animals !!! Regards from Argentina

  • The video has the right of it essentially and this advice is absolutely opposite for a black bear attack.

    What's funny for me is to read some of the uninformed stuff on here. Rule #1 don't listen to anything on this thread (even me). Look it up yourself if you truly need this advice. Some of the answers are right but are you bright enough to know who on the thread understands brown bear behavior? Enjoy the video and choose another site for research =)

  • Thats it take a chance that the bear is not starving and allow him to strip the meat off your leg like chicken. A high powered rifle or no go is the option of choice

  • This is scarey advice. as anyone ever came back and said Yep. It worked? Not likely. I had one close encounter, was very lucky, but don't want to tempt fate a second time. If the bear wants you, Horn, Spray, or nothing short of a piece of lead delivered at incredible speed will stop him (her).

  • I was attc by bear.Only flamethrouer would help me!

  • If I'm in the woods here in Montana, I carry my 44 Magnum. Got charged once while cutting wood and fired one round into the air. the grizzly turned and ran. If he hadn't, I'd shot it many times. Doesn't always work, a guy close to here shot one with a .357 four times and it still ate him. You don't fuck around with grizzlies.

  • its a WILD ANMINAL just like that monkey dont play with them get a pet dog or cat

  • "the bear will lose interest after a few swipes" wtf? A few swipes and you can be dead or dying. the bear may be hungry and start chewing your limbs off. He may bite into your foot and start draggin you off into the woods. They SHOULD tell you to be prepared to defend yourself with two large cans of mace, and a powerful handgun, and a good knife. MAYBE with that kind of fight- especially if there are two people fighting together, you might have a chance.

  • but you were their type

  • LOL "lose interest after a few swipes" w/ its 4 inch claws across your back..you wanna survive carry a gun, practice w/ it and make sure you know WTF you're doing if one comes at you.....

  • I think is not very easy to keep the body still when a big angry bear is chewing your ass. also if you try to shoot the bear is nearly impossible to kill him when is charging you. I read in books, never have a close encounter with humans(see my name) grooowllll

  • Well, the safest way climb the tree or play hide and seek with the bear!

  • 7. Otherwise get a big bore brush rifle or a 12 ga shotgun and practice;

    8. Play dead with grizzlies; you fight back black bears; get a good, strong and sharp hunting knife;

    9. Sometimes they let you live after playing dead;

    10.Good luck ... and keep making noise - some of them might think that dinner is ready.

  • 1. The safest - Don't go in bear country; go to the pub or camp downtown in a nice park near your bbq;

    2. Hike in groups larger than three;

    3. Be aware of your surroundings - leave the bell back home, it would make so much silly noise that it would prevent YOU from hear the bear coming; and, it seems that actualy attracts curious bears;

    4. Look for fresh bear signs;

  • 5. If no gun permit then get a bear spray and test it - distance, your speed of reaction, wind; now, buy a second one because the first one is almost empty after a few bursts (a big canister lasts for about 12-14 sec);

    6. The govt propaganda says that you are safer with a spray than with a gun; if you don't shoot well or you shit your pants than they're right: get a spray;

  • isnt the best thing to hold your ground, dont look in the bears eyes and speak out loud and gentle?

    Anyway a Polar Bear if you meet a polar bear in the wild = dead whatever you do

  • play dead = real dead

    run = dead

    fight back = dead i would climb up the tree as fast as i can. at least i could save my life for few mins.... before it kill me.

  • gooooood :D

  • ive brought down women bigger than a grizzly bear.

  • I say the answer is D. don't be near a bear in the first place.

  • I prefer a shotgun...

  • D. What about shitting your pants? If the male eats a human who just shitted their pants.

    It eats shit and flesh and then when it goes back to his wife.And the wife kills him cuz smelling like shit?

  • THATS BULLSHIT..dont ever play dead cuz a bear eats rotten stuff...it takes u to some whole or w/e makes u rotten and eats youuuu SO DO NOT PLAYY DEADDD

  • Well If you run away you're dead if you play dead you are rotten :S If you fight back you are in the bear stomach.

    So the only thing you can do is challenge him to a wordwar? or poker

  • noo...if you play dead your not rotten....if your rotten they can mess itttt....

  • well what the hell else would you suggest? i think these people have some idea what they are talking about

  • im fighting back

  • i mean i dont trust "B" :P

  • B:play dead?! is a bullshit!what happen if he bites u cant play dead then motherfucker!punkass bear will eat u!even i take A or C if i had a knive!

  • bullshitt

  • The answer is a combination of B and C. Play dead, but don't be a chump. If the bear takes more than a few swipes, punch it in the nose; then go back to playing dead.

  • you see now this video was worth my time :) thanks!

  • what if they beat my penis

  • cools tes t cools tes t cools tes t cools tes t cools

  • Black bears may go after you as well. There has been more attacks by black bears than grizzlies, but the fact that there is a 100 to 1 ratio of black bear to grizzly bear interactions has alot to do with it.

  • This is crap.. Bring bear pepper spray and a shotgun.. oh yeah, I will play dead when a 1000lb bear is mauling me.. Yeah he will be nice and leave me alone.. If a bear has the nerve to attack you he can just as easily kill u.

  • You are not playing dead, you are basically telling the bear you mean no harm.

  • testicles

    lol try this in the audio preview, sounds so funny :P

  • lol I am so dumb I was trying a funny audio preview and pressed post comment instead of audio preview, I didn't mean to post that.

  • lol :P

  • can this guy be sued? should be.

  • the best thing to do is shit your pants,so it would be disgust to eat you!!

  • hahahaha love that idea

  • this is so stupid, play dead with a grizzly? can you keep playing dead when he starts bitting your back? no you will start screaming and then roll over because of the pain, I am not an expert and I have never been close to a bear, but anybody knows that you have to yell at him and stand your ground, yell, throw things, make weird noises, try to let him know you are a threat not a pray.

  • I would suggest you do not do that, the bear will take that as a confortation, and you do not want a confortation with a over 1000 LB bear.

  • yer man a bear attacking you and your just gonna lay there play dead like an idiot? fuck that ill fucking run.

  • lol...i would find vines that look like a wrestling arena then pull the bear in kick him in the face go on the top rope body slam him and go under the ring and get a steal chair go on the top rope again and body slam him with the chair! then pin him!and if he comes back up ill take steel bell and wack him over the head and k.o. him. in the audio preveiw this sounds so funny, but it stops at go under :(

  • hehe my comment are always deletet and I wonder why?Couse the author of this video should be responsibile for wrong action!

  • Magnus Samuelsson is stronger than a grizzly bear so if you need protection just call him!

  • He forget to say ;

    WET YOUR PANTS; they don't like the smell of your peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeee.

    SHIT IN YOUR SPEEDO AND YOUR PANTS; they don't like the smell of your garlic dinner.

    TALK TO THE BEAR THE WAY YOU TALK TO YOUR MOTHER IN LAW; swear like hell with everything under the sun.

    FINALY; TRIP YOUR PARTNER TO THE GROUND;and you get the hell out.

  • Your last bit of advice is why I call my fat sister in law, "Decoy." I'm not the fastest runner in the world but I know that I can run faster than that tubby, whining bitch. It's worth it to put up with her bellyaching in the bush because I'm comforted in knowing that she's gonna make some bear a nice dinner, while I run like a motherfucker.

  • You don't have to outrun the bear, just outrun your buddy, well if I am with you and encounter a bear, well I am staying put, and if you want to run, well that just will be your problem.

  • sorry I got to chooce C which is FIGHT BACK with a gun:(

  • they forgot using a gun...
