Funny bear encounter on the Appalachian Trail

We came across this bear in New Hampshire (near Gorham) in July 2009. Initially it was walking toward us along the trail and showed no fear of us. After a few minutes it passed us in the woods and then I turned on the camera. He decided to come back toward us and this footage was taken. The next day we found out a bear in the area ate a hiker's sleeping bag and sleeping pad in daylight.

Hope watching this video made at least one person research what to do when you encounter a black bear on the trail.

Some people aren't aware that black bear attacks are more common than any other bear attack. Love the guys reaction though!
