Lol, all these commenters saying what THEY would do and how it would be so much better than what these guys did, but these guys got out alive, and have some awesome footage that all of us are watching from the safety of our own homes, so how about giving these men kudos and credit and thanks.
they almost got that bear killed...they arent hero's! If the bear had attacked a human , it would have been put down by the authorities. Getting way too close to this bear could cost the humans and the bear their lives...why take the risk just for some 'photos'
@@jetflyer62901 Because of the crew behind the camera guy, the bear veered off to the right when he seen multiple people which in the bears mind is not approachable. If it would have been (just) the two guys then he would have at least got a lot closer and that's usually when humans (panic and either run or spray) and shit hits the fan! Bears are instinctual killers and two people don't really bother a bear as far as them being scared or spooked, but a group of people somehow is overwhelming for there mind to conceive. I have lived at the base of a mountain for years and i (Never) all through the years while my kids were growing up let just two play outside alone. I would make sure all the kids went out or my wife and i went out if it was just two kids because we had lots of bears come into our yard. These guys were safe unless they done something dumb like spray or run, the bear might have even came right up to them sniffed them and walked away (but most humans panic at that point!). We have had bears amped up because someone let the dam dog out and nothing amps a bear up more than a dog, we have had bears chasing our dog right by us within a couple feed, just go right by us and try and eat our dog.
No need. Bear spray is far more effective by data. Gunshots hardly ever kill a bear instantly. It usually takes five shots to bring them down on the spot. While the bear is bleeding out, it can easily kill its attacker. The bear spray gives him such sensory trauma, and breathing difficulties, he wants no more of it.
@@Nagy50Magyar That's not inclusive of all the facts. Guns are extremely effective, but 90% of the time it's because the gun shot alone scares the bear, so you don't even need to shoot it.

A huge boar grizzly, must have been at least a 500-kilogram beast! Definitely a jaw droppin, thrilling experience, but somehow inspiring. Let’s keep wild places WILD, so the king of Alaska keeps balancing the ecosystem.
@JustHereToComment. There's always gotta be one idiot in the comments, and here you are... These guys are only alive and un-maimed because they did the exact opposite of what your youtube-expert opinion suggests they should have done. It is pretty much universally accepted that when in a confrontation with a brown bear, you stand your ground, remain calm, and speak in a soft voice so that the bear can hear you, but doesn't perceive you as aggressive/threatening. It's no coincidence that once these guys further submitted to the bear that he became satisfied that they weren't challenging his kill. You are thinking of the rules of engagement when dealing with a large cat (in Alaska, obviously that's the mountain lion). Kneeling or turning your back in the presence of a large feline is akin to activating their kill switch.
@JustHereToComment. this is the only video I seen of an approaching grizzly in which the humans kneel or get low and talk softly. In all the others the people remain standing and talk to the bear pretty firmly or loudly: A lot of hunters seems to hell, "hey! Hey, Git out of here!," etc. And it has worked.
Because when there is adequate food bears aren't the killing machines people think they are. The bears Timothy lived among were habinated to his presence so they didn't see him as a threat so didn't attack him. They didn't have the magically connection or friendship that Timothy thought they had with him but they tolerated him and were indifferent to him up until the point when he stayed into winter and the berry crop failed just before hibernation when they trying to put on fat reserves. At that point their indifference towards him changed to he was food and he was eaten
These are beautiful animals that aren't looking for trouble. Lets take care of them and learn how to respect their space, while simultaneously, knowing that they are after all wild animals that can be very unpredictable. Beautiful footage! Thank you!
Amazing wonderful creatures, but they are terrifying at the same time. I want them be on this planet doing their thing, but dont come to my neighbourhood. I sure as hell won't come to yours.
No, Van is not working at being a good boy, but he is.He displayed a sense of justice; once his sense of smell proved that the suspects did not have his cached seal, he did not rip them up just because he was upset. Bears adhere to their own, rather rational rules better than we do to ours.
Reminds me of a large black bear we saw at Glacier NP. We were hiking and came to a Tsection. I looked left and saw a large bear with a long snout about 20-25 ft away. WAY TOO CLOSE!! I saw its large black eyes. Everything got quite and I felt like things were going in slow motion. Because we were hidden a bit by bushes and trees we just slowly backed off. The bear didn't react to us and we were fine. But I was really scared. I've seen bears run and there's no escaping them if they decide to chase you. This footage was very scary. Kudos to the crew for keeping calm.
This is one of those videos where I regret being single, because there was one of those critical moments in this film where abruptly grabbing someone's arm and going "Raaawr" totally went to waste.
How is backing away showing submission, but kneeling down isn't? This footage is incredible. They are very brave and I'm grateful to see the behind the scenes, hearing how the photographers work in such conditions. I find every moment fascinating. BBC always has such beautiful cinemaphotography.
3:31 the guy managed to keep his cool and did the right thing but also knew that doing the right thing was not a 100% guaruntee it was going to leave them alone and was still bricking himself a bit. He had the safety off and was ready to go!
I've been hiking all my life and every time I come across a bear, or any other predator, I throw money at them and that will calm them down. Cash, loads of cash, it never fails.

would you fight? they say fighting a grizzly is the wrong thing to do.. submitting is what they recommend.. black bears they say you gotta fight cuz they will eat you alive.. but brown bears will move on once the threat is neutralized.. so they say.. would you run? they can out race horse.. i guess you can trip and out run your friend..
@@Uknowjusticemill grizzly bears are brown bears.. they are a specific type of brown bears.. brown bears found inland in the usa and are called grizzly.. they dont get as big as coastal brown bears due to diet.. but they are all brown bears.. again.. grizzlies are brown bears...

@@soramirez5473 You want to make yourself big and loud until he runs if he closes in then play dead. They will also false charge usually means they are looking at you head up when charging. This most of the times means they are seeing if you are prey and if you will run. If there head is down then, they are coming in on you. There are countless videos on TH-cam of shouting and wide movement scaring bears off. This lay low and talk sweet tactic might work on a full belly bear in the open but I would be skeptical to resort to this on a brown bear u surprise in the woods which is most instances.

Dude coming thru with the Bill Maher energy
Luke Carberry lol
2:17 “I’m gunna come over to your left for the sake of the windage”... translation...I’m gunna hide behind you real quick chief I’m boutta shit myself.
Van wanted all the smoke
I was so nervous watching this. So glad they knew how to handle it and all 3 weren’t hurt.
Standing up and screaming is a great move...if its a black bear. But yeah these guys aced it.
I would have shit my pants. Just by looking at the claws of that thing...
Huh.. 5 years ago, eh? Wonder if it's still active.
I sound like I'm talking about and ancient tombstone lmao
This how people get in trouble, standing like this, t posing a bear 😂
Meanwhile, in the backround, ten Security Guys are pointing their Harpoons at the Grizzly.
The fate any bear hunter deserves is to be slaughtered and have his hide hung on someone's wall as a trophy.
2:16 ponytail prepares to use unwitting cameraman as human shield 🤣🤣🤣
Omg! Is that Billy Connelly? Love him
One day he'll accidentally pack a can of underarm deodorant.
"I'm gonna come over to your left to ff-for the sake of the windage on this." puts the camera guy between him and the bear in case anything pops off lmaoooo
It depends on the bear too if a bear is coming at you aggressively you're not gonna get down and try to talk to it like so.
would you fight? they say fighting a grizzly is the wrong thing to do.. submitting is what they recommend.. black bears they say you gotta fight cuz they will eat you alive.. but brown bears will move on once the threat is neutralized.. so they say.. would you run? they can out race horse.. i guess you can trip and out run your friend..
@@soramirez5473 Brown bears will stop once the threat is not longer present, black bears or grizzly bears will not stop and will eat you alive
@@Uknowjusticemill grizzly bears are brown bears.. they are a specific type of brown bears.. brown bears found inland in the usa and are called grizzly.. they dont get as big as coastal brown bears due to diet.. but they are all brown bears.. again.. grizzlies are brown bears...
"The correct scientific name for the species is “brown bear,” but only coastal bears in Alaska and Canada are referred to as such, while inland bears and those found in the lower 48 states are called grizzly bears."
according to
defenders.org/grizzly-bear/basic-facts
not sure what I said that your responding to, but i'd figure I'd correct your incorrect statement..
@@soramirez5473 You want to make yourself big and loud until he runs if he closes in then play dead. They will also false charge usually means they are looking at you head up when charging. This most of the times means they are seeing if you are prey and if you will run. If there head is down then, they are coming in on you.
There are countless videos on TH-cam of shouting and wide movement scaring bears off. This lay low and talk sweet tactic might work on a full belly bear in the open but I would be skeptical to resort to this on a brown bear u surprise in the woods which is most instances.
@@novac1990 so translation.. best way to survive a grizzly attack is to not be near a grizzly.. got it.. and will do..
Looked like an older bear...like hes been around a long time...well fed too
This guy played this situation very well .
Pucker factor: HIGH
It's a good thing they didn't have upsidedown sombreros. That would have been ugly . phew 😅
Should of just drawn an anti bear circle
I would have shit on my pants, those animals will fierce fully tear you apart.
Yup man is on his knees that's is what I like the most ... respect nature
