I’ll never understand people that go out into the deep wilderness without a firearm for protection. Me and my friends don’t even go fishing or to a cabin without being armed to the teeth.
You get used to it. I own 54 acers in the mountains and bears are around. I carry a sig 9mm 7 rounds. I still don't build a cabin. So I sleep in a big tent. I have my cot away about 2ft from the walls. I have things around the tent so I can hear if anything is around the tent. I am more concerned at night. I have become a light sleeper. I the tent I have another 9mm 17 rds and a ar15 30rds just in case. When it rains at night I don't like it because I can't hear. During the day I take a light nap to be more alert at night.
Exactly what I was thinking , I am always armed with a heavy caliber weapon . I don't understand why people put themselves in these types of situations . Be safe out there Bro
what an interesting story. I find it disturbing as well that anyone would want to wonder around in grizzly bear country unprepared for an attack. Ignorance is deadly.
I think people didn't understand the dangers back in 1976. I remember back then people always told me "oh, don't worry about bears. They're more afraid of you than you're afraid of them." Seriously, that was the culture back then. A lot of people laughed at me for being silly because I wasn't about to go anywhere near bear country without spray and a gun (though now I realize I was woefully under armed). I was lucky, never encountered a bear, but if I had, all the wrong information would have likely gotten me killed (climb a tree, play dead, run, etc). It's only in the past couple of decades that better knowledge and information is readily available. In 1976, though, most people really believed that bears were more afraid of us than we were of them.
@@coffeepot3123 The fact that you actually believe bears are more of a threat to your safety than the things you live with daily is pretty amazing. Illustrates just how out of touch people have become. You basically remark how much of a threat they are, and then admit you have no real world knowledge of them. That is the definition of ignorance.
It wasn't mentioned in this video, but one of the items they found among Alan Precup's remains was a camera. When the film was later developed it contained two photographs of a small, undernourished looking bear. It was believed at the time (and still is I presume) that was the bear that ultimately killed him, and that the last thing Precup did before he was killed by this bear was take its picture. Precup was also a recent graduate of MIT. Just goes to show that even really smart people can make dumb mistakes, especially in the woods.
Being book smart and survival smart is not the same thing, there's people out there that are very smart mathematically but are dumb as shit when it comes to primal survival.
To be eaten alive is one of the most horrific ways to go..that is what a bear is capable of doing...why go into the wild unarmed and so vulnerable like that...just the thought of what he went through in his last moments with that bear is horrifying
@@northernlight696 That entire story horrifies me. After obsessively reading about it, I found out that the audio is actually a recreation and not the actual audio, which is unlikely to ever be released, at the request of his family and friends.
Its just all about what we are accustomed to. Its probably safer to walk through bear infested woods than to drive to work each day. But I will take my chances with a car wreck. Bears scare the sht out of me.
I plan on moving to Alaska in the next year or so ...Off grid..... And I will tell you ,I am not going to live in fear....... I will have wall to wall bear skin rugs, blankets ,and anything else you can make out of a Grizzly Bear...... I will dispatch a drone every day just to make sure there are none on my property, and I'm gonna have plenty of Big dogs, And big guns...... Too many stories like this on TH-cam, it is really terrifying, and there is so many people that come up missing each year in Alaska due to these Brown Devils....
You mean prepare with bear spray and guns? I don't think bear spray was available at the time of the event and guns? You better be a sharp shooter lest you anger the bear further. None of the hikers got hurt. The missing person who was eaten by the bear, Alan, wasn't part of their group. I believe the hikers did a great job and survived because of it.
@@jenniferlynn1666 If at least two of the campers had big guns they wouldn't of had to have been sharp shooters. They were lucky and foolish for not protecting themselves while hiking in grizzly country during peek bear season.
@@wendaltvedt4673 you are correct. About 1 week ago I was eating dinner in my house when I received a call from my nieghbor, he said a cougar is going to kill your calf. I grabed the nearest weapon to me and ran to the back yard and sure enough seen a cougar climbing over my fence headed for the calf. When it jumped off the fence I shot at it 2 times , then it speeded up towards the calf so I poured the lead at it. After hitting it 2 times it turned on me so I started working its chest over then about 20 yards from me it turned so I pour more lead into the chest. It ran about 80 more yards climbing 2 more fences the died. Calf and I are ok , cougar dead. Warden said it was about 160 lb male that had tag in its ear.
Almost everything that lives down there would/could kill you! You poor guys don't even have normal bugs! I really doubt that a couple of bears could make it any worse. 😄 Obviously we don't have anything like that at all, but our tourists can probably tell a lot of storys about our 'most dangerous' animal: the very angry Mama cow they met on their hike in the alps after they tried to pet/make a Selfie with the cute Baby cow... 💪🏻😄 Best wishes from the old world!
If one were told that in a certain area in the wild there was a crazed killer who is a cannibal? Would you go and camp, sleeping unprotected alone in the middle of the night where it is known that the killer is lurking about? Probably no!..Well, consider that some bears can be that killer, who will tear you apart and eat you. But somehow naive animal lovers gloss over these traits in bears, lions sharks, and other predators. When you go into the wild, go with at least two others, and go with the knowledge of the area and its wildlife and armed with bear alarms, bear spray, and finally rifles. Don't be naive, the reason it is called "The Wild" is that it is.
The campers were smart and made the right moves, that certainly helped them survive. Unfortunately for Alan, being alone and seemingly unprepared for the predatory actions of this bear cost him his life. Bears tend not to do what happened to Alan especially when food is plentiful, but some bears can be just simply killers and hunters of men. Not very common but it can happen..
You know it's very rare but I think bears are enchanting in a way because they're very similar to people. Alert to people. Just like young male people young male bears do really crazy things until they learn how to behave and this is the kind of stuff that can lead to tragedy.
@@wendaltvedt4673 They made a lot of noise with the pots and stuff, sounds like that are very strange and unsettling to bears, so this bear was unsure about an overt attack. They also stayed together and moved as a group, all pretty good moves.
Bears are more aggressive to humans if they've been fed by a human before, or have raided a camp in the past. they associate humans with food and seek humans out. in Yosemite, if a bear eats human food, the rangers have to euthanize them.
This group was so lucky that the bear didn't make a violent move against them, perhaps the number of people intimidated him a little. Thank you for the video 💛
Thank you for these videos. On a visceral level, I dislike bears. That's because they can eat us. That said, I will leave bears be. I am way too afraid to camp. Those campers were very smart. RIP Alan. 🙏
As TRAGIC as the outcome may have been, Precup caused his self demise; there are people who put themselves unprotected in places that could take their life. Mr Precup is one.
Now that's a scary bear attack. Most bear attacks can be written off as freak accidents or mere opportunism but this bear was specifically hunting humans. Damn, somebody should make a horror movie out of this
Bears don't play by our rules. When we're in their habitat we must understand that and plan accordingly. Thankfully nowadays there is better understanding of bear behavior so incidents like these are more easily prevented.
Really they are not people still don't follow rules or even common sense. He has videos on here about people feeding bears and of course that leads to being on his video list. I 53 learned along time ago don't feed wildlife, people that do are causing serious issues know that didn't happen here but I just wanted to make a point on your comment have a great day man
I read my first book about bear attacks when I was about 13 years old. It was the summer of 1973 and we were all going camping in the true wilderness, and reading a bear attack book before going into the woods so deep and dark was the dumbest thing I have done!! I didn't sleep a wink in the whole 5 days!!! Even a chipmunk sounded like a giant grizzly ready to tear my flesh from my bones as I watched him devour me bit by bit!! It is amazing how pin point your hearing becomes when you are scared out of your mind!! I could hear a field mouse fart from a half a mile away!! I have had many camping trips since that trip, and I have run into many bears and other wild critters who could have eaten me, but still I can't get enough of the bear stories. No ghost was ever more terrifying that a pissed off black bear with 3 cubs!! No demon could instill the kind of horror a hungry grizzly bear can offer you as you run for your life! I hope you have a few videos, I sub'ed to your channel today!!
Hardly. The only thing that saved them was the fact that bear had already consumed that lone camper the day before. Had it been hungry at minimum one of them would be dead.
You have more chance of dying in a car accident compared to being killed by a bear in bear country. Do you wear a helmet and a racing suit in your car?
Your subscribers just keep growing and I am so happy for you. You have earned it. Seems like each video is better than the last one. This one was very interesting to me as this is not typical behavior for any bear except perhaps a very infirm one. I wish every hiker, hunter and outdoor enthusiast would consider carrying a flare pistol. It makes an excellent weapon and can help signal for help. No special permit needed. This group of hikers had a guardian angel watching over them. Tennessee USA 💕
@@scarybearattacks I confess I started with you right after you started this channel. I posted originally as Nikki. Google saw fit to change my name for me when I got my new phone. I am an avid fan
You don't know how long I've been looking for a channel that strictly talks about bear attacks. I'm serious, those types of videos are so scarce on TH-cam. I subscribed before even watching the first video. lol I hope I enjoy it! 😀
A bear is a large very strong apex predator that can run 35 mph, when you are in his house where he eats and sleeps you better have an equalizer. 1 bear spray, 2 shotgun or rifle with the correct ammo, 3 large caliber handgun, 4 aerosol boat horn, 5. 7inch blade sharp knife. and hope you never need them.
@DogoSlayer Siberian Tiger = 800 to 900lbs, would give a Grizzly or Polar Bear a good fight..lion is not big enough...Tigers are larger than lions..in water NOTHING will defeat an ORCA/Killer Whale...an Orca will eat a Great White Shark for lunch and can drown a Polar Bear in minutes....Go Shamu
Had a very close encounter with a big Cinnamon Black Bear while bowhunting Elk in NM. I had backed into a blowdown and was well camoed close to the elk wallow. Ten minutes went by before a large bear appeared. I had evidently walked into his living room. With just a bow and arrow for defense I just froze as he was ten yards from me, sat down and roared. I stayed frozen until the bear walked down the trail I had come in on. He then came back to repeat his roar. He then walked back down the trail and didn't return. I had to walk out that same trail that night shining my light and singing. My conclusion is this. This was my second bear encounter but by far the closest. A bear has an amazing sense of smell but doesn't see any better than a human. If the bear has not seen you then hide yourself and do not move. You can't outrun or out climb a bear. I later learned the gulch i had hiked up was named "Bear Gulch" on the topo map. Go figure.
Glad you got away safe, but at least you had a bow, this group of people in the Bush of Alaska, not a single one had a better form of protection than just rocks. Very foolish.
@@fight4ourright306 Bow at that close distance wouldn't kill the bear before he was on top of you. The animal has to bleed out. Never crossed my mind. I wanted no part of a fight. LOL.
@@randyward6287 If you had a chance to shoot down its throat, a lung or heart shot when it stood up, you might have a better chance than throwing rocks. But yeah I hear you, it's a grim situation either way.
@@randyward6287 Black bears usually run after being hit with an arrow and give the DEATH MOAN within a minute or two as they Expire...this isnt a Grizzly who will stay and fight or run and try to ambush...need to be armed...PERIOD
The most important tool for any mountainman or frontiersman was his rifle. Bears and wolves were a constant threat. Today’s disdain for guns inexplicably carries over from urban crime to rural settings. People should be allowed to carry rifles in the wilderness for the purposes of protection.
@@sh0cktim3 Only sidearm that MAY dispatch a grizzly quickly is a 454 Casull or a SW .500, otherwise you will be eaten before you unload your mag. The bear may die later after your dead. Even among rifles, few hunters would choose a 30.06. A .338 Lapua Magnum would be good. So if you take a Glock or .45 you better get the first couple of bullets in an eye or down the throat.
I don't think (could be wrong) that bear spray was available in the '70s. That being said noone had an adequate firearm, not even the rangers. When you got to rely on rocks to defend yourself from a bear you are asking for trouble. One of the rare times that a bear actually stalked/hunted people.
@@henryrodgers1752 because more people live in black bear area than brown or grizzly bear areas. I would rather live around the bears than in any city.
@@jer6162 : I live in bear country (Mission Valley of NW Montana) and I'm glad of it. In fact, this morning from 3am to 4am a large male black bear was in the area on his routine patrol. Neighbors who have had close encounters with him say he is not afraid of people.
Black bears live in almost every US state and near every large population area. So yes there should be way more attacks, Grizzlies live in much fewer states, not near any major cities in the huge rural woodland areas. Yet there are still so many attacks cause they are way more dangerous
This sort of thing is why I own a S&W 629 44mag, a Marlin 45/70 guide gun and a Mossberg 590 12 gauge. The first two are my only Fudd guns I own. The rest of my guns were purchased for the most dangerous creatures on the planet. Man. Though, if I needed to, I think those guns I got for bear would be interesting to use for the smaller two legged problem that your are more likely to encounter and have trouble with. I was wanting a S&W 500 to replace the 44 mag, but I am fine with the 44 mag, though, it would be pretty great to use a S&W 500 on a home intruder.
The biggest preditor where I live would be a coyote, which means there are dogs that are a much bigger threat lol. The one thing I can never understand, and I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, skinny-dipping zzzzZING, and all things about nature, but to voluntarily go where there are massive preditors is mindblowing. I think it was Chris D'Elia who said when describing his fear of bears, that they're gigantic, blood-thirsty, marauding, Godless killing machines lol
Wow this made me feel scared, I wouldn’t want to go into bear country unless I was very prepared bear spray and gun, better still a massive RV I’m from the UK so hence the fear 😧 your narration is perfect thank you.
I find exception to your statement, " He was from Illinois and had quickly embraced the Alaskan lifestyle" What kind of flooey is that?! Do they even have black bears, let alone Brown bears/Grizzlies there? He was a complete Cheechako who had no inkling of what, where or how he was doing in that wilderness. Another BIG mistake was being alone. People are not allowed to bear firearms in Glacier National Monument and so one MUST be hyper-careful and cautious as to where one camps and how one manages the food. Having another pair of eyes and ears, as well as someone to help defend you (even with rocks and branches) means a higher chance to survive something like this. Too sad and horrible. People who don't live in the back-country just have no clue.
You can carry firearms in Glacier National Park, but you must be able to legally do so in Montana. www.nps.gov/glac/learn/management/lawsandpolicies.htm
I will risk a fine before I risk my life. I don't leave home unarmed. Ever. Not even to clean my bird bath and fill my feeders in the evening. Nope. I live across from the woods where 17,000 black bears live. My mama didn't raise no fools. Well except my sister and that's a story for another day 😂
Oh my Lord. THAT was really scary. That bear was quite obviously acclimated to people.. as a source of meat. Unbelievable that they got away unscathed. Foolish to go without a firearm or at least bear spray! But they did handle it well. I'd bet the biggest thing that saved them at least a fight, was the fact he had recently eaten a huge meal sadly. That guy alone. Smh. At least the others were in a group. Also I think he was a bit tired and decided to just hangout near them. Corralled his snacks for later... 🤪I hate when animals are mistreated but this bear really needed to be put down. Wonder what else he got up to? Of course you said that was a very remote area. It's strange that he was so totally comfortable tracking people like that. For so long and so close. Again. Scary! Thanks Scary Bear guy🙏💔🐻
Another great video.Keep doing it!Your chanell is growing fast.Is gonna grow,you just do your thing,Im your subscriber already for long time because Im bear fanatic,have 1 tatto and is Kodiak bear.I fear them and respect and love them.Amazing animals,for me favorite animal from animal world!
Thank you my friend! I do Aappreciate you! I don't have any tattoos yet but I've been thinking about a wolf or a bear. Marijuana is pretty cool because of the claw thing
Love nature and all animals. However when people go into areas where they know they are the Prey for major Predators they should be prepared just in case of an attack. At the very least bear spray. However someone in the group should be carrying a weapon that will stop an attack that ends in a member of their group becoming a meal in a bear attack.. No one connecting with nature wants to kill any animal. However common sense goes a long way in preventing bear attacks and deaths.
Yes and at first you can shoot the ground in front of bear to trow rocks and dirt at it at a high speed..if that dont work then yeah...shoot the bear.. Sorry
I see this happened in 1976 and I don't think bear spray was available back then. In that case I would have brought a firearm, but even then you need to exercise additional precautions if your shot hit but wasn't lethal. A live injured bear is an adrenalized bear and ferociously dangerous.
I'll never understand why people go into grizzly bear country without protection. Some people are just too adventurous but not thoughtful. Maybe they're crazy enough to just let the bear eat them instead of killing the bear.
@@kennethward2598 You're not likely to kill a bear with a firearm. They're charging. They will be in a position to best protect themselves. Their hide is incredibly thick. Most you'll do is injure it and make it "frenzied". The statistics are 50% of people dying with a firearm, 6% with bear spray. That means half the people thinking a gun will protect them will end up bear food.
With bear spray you have to "pray" that the wind will be in your favor and end up in Mr. Grizzly's face! That's not something to gamble with, why I'm staunch on a large caliber rifle or 12 ga.shotgun with slugs loaded. You can gamble your life with bear spray but not me!!
I am always armed but when I go into the deep woods I am armed heavily I usually have either my AR 12 chambered in 458 socom or my bolt action 416 right and always have my smith and Wesson 500 magnum so I am always ready while I’m in the woods and outdoors
In the wilderness unarmed??? That's pure ignorance. Heck, I don't even go in my back yard unarmed! I have a "conceal carry" license and I take full advantage of it.
After many of these stories, I finally left my 7th floor apartment today to go to the gym and grocery store afoot.. I am no longer scared of the drug addicted zombies downtown after these bear stories.
Bad news bear. Some bears, like some sharks, just like eating things even if they arent in starvation mode. Wolves are known to surplus kill and big cats will kill on instinct as well, the mind of an apex predator is a scary thing.
On the wintering range for elk near my cabin, about 12 summers ago the wolves got in there and they would grasp the cow by the face at 1 end and the others would rip out the calf and the uterus from her other and not even kill her.
@@scarybearattacks : Damn, thats brutal. Im in black bear and wolf country not sure Id enjoy being in Griz country, had enough close calls with black bears to suit me fine lol.
@@gyarikkuhoe9144 sadly you are right....I live in Chicago....not too far from us in a suburb another crazy psycho shot up a 4th of July parade, killing 6 innocent people and injuring 20+ more....

I've done a lot of hiking in brown bear territory.. Only once have I been even bluff charged.. But., my G20 is out all the time when in THEIR World....Your stance and attitude will always have a part in how things go...
definitely sounds pure predatory attack!!!!!!!!! But I’ll never understand why people going out in wilderness areas are not prepared at all if they do not carry bear spray and especially a weapon capable of saving their lives from very unpredictable wildlife! All lot of the stories state these people are very experienced in outdoors, but they are forgetting the number one RULE, which is self preservation!!! God bless the ones who do pay the price though 🙏❤️
a young just independent male bear gone starving. Probably just without his mother. Not capable to fight the bgger males in the river, searching for salmon and not really very skilled at it. Bear gone bad = bear gone hungry.
In Canada you can’t even have a handgun as a guide! I’m a bear guide in the USA and that giant 460 magnum in my photo is what I carry whenever I’m anywhere near grizz, blacks or browns. That 460 with grizz rounds will go through his nose and exit his butthole. Garret Grizzly protection rounds are the best ever made.!
I have to Ask? Had this Bear predation ever been Told, or reported prior too this episode? That is just Chilling! As the other hikers, admitted and explained in thier being Stalked like that. Thank You very much.
My understanding is that bears attacking in a predatory manner, although not the norm, is not unheard of. It has happened and has been well documented. Some just see people as easy prey.
I have learned from this channel that bears often attack people in tents, they occasionally attack people in campers but they NEVER attack people in hotels. Take note.
Am thankful that these campers were able to get away from this bear however at the same time , my heart goes out to this young mans family cos of what happened to him . May he be able to Rest In Peace . And I hope this bear stays away from other campers \ hikers but we all kno that this bear will more than lilely do this again cos once they have a taste for human flash tjis type of preditor will do it again . And will end up being dispatched .
Being stalked by a bear has got to be horrifying . 2 weeks ago my dog and I , were being stalked by a coyote . It's breeding season and I think a mama coy was being territorial . You would have thought I owed that bitch money . The way she was pacing , weaving , and keeping her eye on us . My Amstaff is 90lbs and not animal friendly . I had bear spray and my walking stick . My heart was racing , though . Anyway , she backed off once we got to the road . I probably would have been screaming and crying , if it was a bear . 😬😮😂
B I clearly understand your point I am a country person and we are always heavily arm when going in the woods and bear hunting dogs be safe be ready for anything
Of all the people who have been killed by a dangerous predator while hiking or camping, how many would still be alive today if they or someone they were with, would have had a gun? Sadly, many people have negative views on guns and don't believe in bringing one in the woods. It is NOT about violence or killing animals, it is about YOUR SAFETY and safety of those with you. Bottom line, a gun will SAVE YOUR LIFE. Period!
You have more chance of dying in a car accident compared to being killed by a bear in bear country. Do you wear a helmet and a racing suit in your car?
When will people learn wild animals are not the cute and cuddly things you think they are. Leave them alone and know that if you go into THIER HOMES, you are free game. They only do what they are made to do. They are not our friends and are " pretty boys or pretty girls" Like you think if you shout that, they will be happy. They are also NOT PETS!!
Very scary situation, sounds like they did all the right things and all lived to tell the tale except of course Alan RIP God bless your family left to grieve🙏 ! I wouldn’t hurt ANY animal UNLESS personal protection and family and any other human I could help! Definitely keep and have this very important protection for situations like this , they were very lucky !
I live in an area where bears or other wild animals are not the norms. However about 10yrs ago a black bear somehow was spotted by some young teens. The police took it seriously and investigated. The bear somehow wandered in a busy thoroughfare and climbed up a telephone pole. They got Wildlife Service to get it down by firing darts to put it to sleep. They prepared the ground for its fall and transported the bear to I believe the zoo.
I was a land surveyor for the entire 80's in Alberta, Canada near The Rocky Mountains. I spent lots of time alone in the deep bush with nothing but a hatchet for protection. I encountered everything from Moose to Black Bears and Grizzlies. I'm still here today because I'm bush smart and know what to do when encountering wild animals. As far as camping in bear country goes, your taking a risk that may cost you your life! You can have 20 guns in your tent but if your sleeping when the bear attacks or taking a piss, its all over but the dying! You might have a chance if your sleeping with a pistol ready to fire in your hand with no safety on but your probably gonna just shoot yourself or buddy when you have a bad dream....lol An 800+ lb Grizzly can rip through any tent in less than 5 seconds! Good luck with that! That's why I don't sleep in a tent in bear country and never will.
I'm a big fan of the series Alone. I've always thought that the one thing I would do is make a platform to elevate myself as much as possible to feel safer from predators even if it wouldn't be an actuality.
I knew 3 girls that went on a 'girls camping trip' near Banff, Alberta. The fish & fur cops went through the campground they were in warning everyone about a grizzly being sighted in the area. They already had their food hoisted into a tree and decided to sleep in their car rather than in their tent. A couple of hours later the grizzly attacked their car with a vengeance and caused a lot of damage before they could start the car and drive away. They were then discussing what could have had the bear zeroing in on them in particular. As it turns out one of the girls was having her period. I have a small 5th wheel trailer with a 'bear hatch' (20" X 20" vent) above the bed at the front of the trailer. A big selling point to me. A bear with a head cold can out sniff a blood hound on its best day.

I think people didn't understand the dangers back in 1976. I remember back then people always told me "oh, don't worry about bears. They're more afraid of you than you're afraid of them." Seriously, that was the culture back then. A lot of people laughed at me for being silly because I wasn't about to go anywhere near bear country without spray and a gun (though now I realize I was woefully under armed). I was lucky, never encountered a bear, but if I had, all the wrong information would have likely gotten me killed (climb a tree, play dead, run, etc). It's only in the past couple of decades that better knowledge and information is readily available. In 1976, though, most people really believed that bears were more afraid of us than we were of them.

To be eaten alive is one of the most horrific ways to go..that is what a bear is capable of doing...why go into the wild unarmed and so vulnerable like that...just the thought of what he went through in his last moments with that bear is horrifying
It's a scary ass thought. Scares me thinking about it.

Its just all about what we are accustomed to. Its probably safer to walk through bear infested woods than to drive to work each day. But I will take my chances with a car wreck. Bears scare the sht out of me.

I plan on moving to Alaska in the next year or so ...Off grid..... And I will tell you ,I am not going to live in fear....... I will have wall to wall bear skin rugs, blankets ,and anything else you can make out of a Grizzly Bear...... I will dispatch a drone every day just to make sure there are none on my property, and I'm gonna have plenty of Big dogs, And big guns...... Too many stories like this on TH-cam, it is really terrifying, and there is so many people that come up missing each year in Alaska due to these Brown Devils....
Thanks Yoda
not complicated at all!
I am impressed with these campers. They did the right things from the start. This particular bear was obviously predatory. May Alan rest in peace.
No they didn't.. They were not properly prepared.. Glad the other "campers" were not injured...
You mean prepare with bear spray and guns? I don't think bear spray was available at the time of the event and guns? You better be a sharp shooter lest you anger the bear further. None of the hikers got hurt. The missing person who was eaten by the bear, Alan, wasn't part of their group. I believe the hikers did a great job and survived because of it.
@@jenniferlynn1666 If at least two of the campers had big guns they wouldn't of had to have been sharp shooters. They were lucky and foolish for not protecting themselves while hiking in grizzly country during peek bear season.
Whoa! Terrifying being tracked by a grizzly that is intent on making you his meal😱
@@wendaltvedt4673 you are correct. About 1 week ago I was eating dinner in my house when I received a call from my nieghbor, he said a cougar is going to kill your calf. I grabed the nearest weapon to me and ran to the back yard and sure enough seen a cougar climbing over my fence headed for the calf. When it jumped off the fence I shot at it 2 times , then it speeded up towards the calf so I poured the lead at it. After hitting it 2 times it turned on me so I started working its chest over then about 20 yards from me it turned so I pour more lead into the chest. It ran about 80 more yards climbing 2 more fences the died. Calf and I are ok , cougar dead. Warden said it was about 160 lb male that had tag in its ear.

I really doubt that a couple of bears could make it any worse. 😄
Obviously we don't have anything like that at all, but our tourists can probably tell a lot of storys about our 'most dangerous' animal: the very angry Mama cow they met on their hike in the alps after they tried to pet/make a Selfie with the cute Baby cow... 💪🏻😄
Best wishes from the old world!
If one were told that in a certain area in the wild there was a crazed killer who is a cannibal? Would you go and camp, sleeping unprotected alone in the middle of the night where it is known that the killer is lurking about? Probably no!..Well, consider that some bears can be that killer, who will tear you apart and eat you. But somehow naive animal lovers gloss over these traits in bears, lions sharks, and other predators. When you go into the wild, go with at least two others, and go with the knowledge of the area and its wildlife and armed with bear alarms, bear spray, and finally rifles. Don't be naive, the reason it is called "The Wild" is that it is.
I would arm myself in the opposite order, heavy caliber long arm, heavy caliber side arm, large heavy bladed bowie knife & then the bear spray. 🐻🐻🇦🇺
Facts
And be sure the other two you bring with you can't run as fast as you can.
These pepole take rifles they need semi auto machine guns ..now thats safety
@@jerseycarr5234 Safely is not going at all lol
i am amazed the other campers got away with a bear dogging them 20 feet away.
The campers were smart and made the right moves, that certainly helped them survive. Unfortunately for Alan, being alone and seemingly unprepared for the predatory actions of this bear cost him his life. Bears tend not to do what happened to Alan especially when food is plentiful, but some bears can be just simply killers and hunters of men. Not very common but it can happen..
You know it's very rare but I think bears are enchanting in a way because they're very similar to people. Alert to people. Just like young male people young male bears do really crazy things until they learn how to behave and this is the kind of stuff that can lead to tragedy.
More like they were lucky. Not one of them brought protection while hiking in grizzly country during peek bear season.
@@scarybearattacks So true.
@@wendaltvedt4673 They made a lot of noise with the pots and stuff, sounds like that are very strange and unsettling to bears, so this bear was unsure about an overt attack. They also stayed together and moved as a group, all pretty good moves.
Bears are more aggressive to humans if they've been fed by a human before, or have raided a camp in the past. they associate humans with food and seek humans out. in Yosemite, if a bear eats human food, the rangers have to euthanize them.
This group was so lucky that the bear didn't make a violent move against them, perhaps the number of people intimidated him a little.
Thank you for the video 💛
My pleasure! Take care!
Thank you for these videos. On a visceral level, I dislike bears. That's because they can eat us. That said, I will leave bears be. I am way too afraid to camp. Those campers were very smart. RIP Alan. 🙏
Thank you!
As TRAGIC as the outcome may have been, Precup caused his self demise; there are people who put themselves unprotected in places that could take their life. Mr Precup is one.
Now that's a scary bear attack. Most bear attacks can be written off as freak accidents or mere opportunism but this bear was specifically hunting humans. Damn, somebody should make a horror movie out of this

Bears don't play by our rules. When we're in their habitat we must understand that and plan accordingly. Thankfully nowadays there is better understanding of bear behavior so incidents like these are more easily prevented.
Really they are not people still don't follow rules or even common sense. He has videos on here about people feeding bears and of course that leads to being on his video list. I 53 learned along time ago don't feed wildlife, people that do are causing serious issues know that didn't happen here but I just wanted to make a point on your comment have a great day man
A bears #1 rule is there are no rules.
I read my first book about bear attacks when I was about 13 years old. It was the summer of 1973 and we were all going camping in the true wilderness, and reading a bear attack book before going into the woods so deep and dark was the dumbest thing I have done!! I didn't sleep a wink in the whole 5 days!!! Even a chipmunk sounded like a giant grizzly ready to tear my flesh from my bones as I watched him devour me bit by bit!! It is amazing how pin point your hearing becomes when you are scared out of your mind!! I could hear a field mouse fart from a half a mile away!! I have had many camping trips since that trip, and I have run into many bears and other wild critters who could have eaten me, but still I can't get enough of the bear stories. No ghost was ever more terrifying that a pissed off black bear with 3 cubs!! No demon could instill the kind of horror a hungry grizzly bear can offer you as you run for your life! I hope you have a few videos, I sub'ed to your channel today!!
Thank you very much!
thanks for putting all of these stories in a easy to digest format! keep it up
You bet!
What an incredible story. I wonder if the bear was hesitant because of the number of campers.
I think that is exactly what saved them
My thoughts exactly.....
Hardly. The only thing that saved them was the fact that bear had already consumed that lone camper the day before. Had it been hungry at minimum one of them would be dead.
@@scarybearattacks loud sounds help too
Crazy to not be armed in bear country or in a big city.
Or even at home or anywhere else
@RGB 18 Yeah, democrat run cities are among the worst in the world.
You have more chance of dying in a car accident compared to being killed by a bear in bear country. Do you wear a helmet and a racing suit in your car?
@@sauce1232 Never thought of it like that. Agree; nobody should be armed in Bear Country until cars become much safer.
Your subscribers just keep growing and I am so happy for you. You have earned it. Seems like each video is better than the last one. This one was very interesting to me as this is not typical behavior for any bear except perhaps a very infirm one. I wish every hiker, hunter and outdoor enthusiast would consider carrying a flare pistol. It makes an excellent weapon and can help signal for help. No special permit needed. This group of hikers had a guardian angel watching over them. Tennessee USA 💕

A bear is a large very strong apex predator that can run 35 mph, when you are in his house where he eats and sleeps you better have an equalizer. 1 bear spray, 2 shotgun or rifle with the correct ammo, 3 large caliber handgun, 4 aerosol boat horn, 5. 7inch blade sharp knife. and hope you never need them.

"He wasn't interested in the food cache, just the peepl"
Had a very close encounter with a big Cinnamon Black Bear while bowhunting Elk in NM. I had backed into a blowdown and was well camoed close to the elk wallow. Ten minutes went by before a large bear appeared. I had evidently walked into his living room. With just a bow and arrow for defense I just froze as he was ten yards from me, sat down and roared. I stayed frozen until the bear walked down the trail I had come in on. He then came back to repeat his roar. He then walked back down the trail and didn't return. I had to walk out that same trail that night shining my light and singing. My conclusion is this. This was my second bear encounter but by far the closest. A bear has an amazing sense of smell but doesn't see any better than a human. If the bear has not seen you then hide yourself and do not move. You can't outrun or out climb a bear. I later learned the gulch i had hiked up was named "Bear Gulch" on the topo map. Go figure.
Glad you got away safe, but at least you had a bow, this group of people in the Bush of Alaska, not a single one had a better form of protection than just rocks. Very foolish.
@@fight4ourright306 Bow at that close distance wouldn't kill the bear before he was on top of you. The animal has to bleed out. Never crossed my mind. I wanted no part of a fight. LOL.

@@randyward6287 Black bears usually run after being hit with an arrow and give the DEATH MOAN within a minute or two as they Expire...this isnt a Grizzly who will stay and fight or run and try to ambush...need to be armed...PERIOD
The most important tool for any mountainman or frontiersman was his rifle. Bears and wolves were a constant threat. Today’s disdain for guns inexplicably carries over from urban crime to rural settings. People should be allowed to carry rifles in the wilderness for the purposes of protection.
All you need is a glock or 45 far better than any rifle in a real attack situation.
@@sh0cktim3 Only sidearm that MAY dispatch a grizzly quickly is a 454 Casull or a SW .500, otherwise you will be eaten before you unload your mag. The bear may die later after your dead. Even among rifles, few hunters would choose a 30.06. A .338 Lapua Magnum would be good. So if you take a Glock or .45 you better get the first couple of bullets in an eye or down the throat.

@@brazosbear4593 44 mag, 454 casual or 45/70 guide gun with hard cast bullets

I don't think (could be wrong) that bear spray was available in the '70s. That being said noone had an adequate firearm, not even the rangers. When you got to rely on rocks to defend yourself from a bear you are asking for trouble. One of the rare times that a bear actually stalked/hunted people.
One of the rare times when a BROWN bear stalked people for predation. That behavior is much more common in black bears, as I'm sure you know.
@@henryrodgers1752 True.
@@henryrodgers1752 because more people live in black bear area than brown or grizzly bear areas. I would rather live around the bears than in any city.
@@jer6162 : I live in bear country (Mission Valley of NW Montana) and I'm glad of it. In fact, this morning from 3am to 4am a large male black bear was in the area on his routine patrol. Neighbors who have had close encounters with him say he is not afraid of people.
Black bears live in almost every US state and near every large population area. So yes there should be way more attacks, Grizzlies live in much fewer states, not near any major cities in the huge rural woodland areas. Yet there are still so many attacks cause they are way more dangerous
This sort of thing is why I own a S&W 629 44mag, a Marlin 45/70 guide gun and a Mossberg 590 12 gauge. The first two are my only Fudd guns I own. The rest of my guns were purchased for the most dangerous creatures on the planet. Man. Though, if I needed to, I think those guns I got for bear would be interesting to use for the smaller two legged problem that your are more likely to encounter and have trouble with. I was wanting a S&W 500 to replace the 44 mag, but I am fine with the 44 mag, though, it would be pretty great to use a S&W 500 on a home intruder.
WOW! Pedatory bears! True stuff of nightmares! Scary video!😫😪😮😐
The biggest preditor where I live would be a coyote, which means there are dogs that are a much bigger threat lol. The one thing I can never understand, and I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, skinny-dipping zzzzZING, and all things about nature, but to voluntarily go where there are massive preditors is mindblowing.

I find exception to your statement, " He was from Illinois and had quickly embraced the Alaskan lifestyle" What kind of flooey is that?! Do they even have black bears, let alone Brown bears/Grizzlies there? He was a complete Cheechako who had no inkling of what, where or how he was doing in that wilderness. Another BIG mistake was being alone. People are not allowed to bear firearms in Glacier National Monument and so one MUST be hyper-careful and cautious as to where one camps and how one manages the food. Having another pair of eyes and ears, as well as someone to help defend you (even with rocks and branches) means a higher chance to survive something like this. Too sad and horrible. People who don't live in the back-country just have no clue.
You can carry firearms in Glacier National Park, but you must be able to legally do so in Montana.
www.nps.gov/glac/learn/management/lawsandpolicies.htm
I don't understand why they don't allow people to carry a gun. Sure no hunting, but why no gun for protection.
I will risk a fine before I risk my life. I don't leave home unarmed. Ever. Not even to clean my bird bath and fill my feeders in the evening. Nope. I live across from the woods where 17,000 black bears live. My mama didn't raise no fools. Well except my sister and that's a story for another day 😂
Oh my Lord. THAT was really scary. That bear was quite obviously acclimated to people.. as a source of meat. Unbelievable that they got away unscathed. Foolish to go without a firearm or at least bear spray! But they did handle it well. I'd bet the biggest thing that saved them at least a fight, was the fact he had recently eaten a huge meal sadly. That guy alone. Smh. At least the others were in a group. Also I think he was a bit tired and decided to just hangout near them. Corralled his snacks for later... 🤪I hate when animals are mistreated but this bear really needed to be put down. Wonder what else he got up to? Of course you said that was a very remote area. It's strange that he was so totally comfortable tracking people like that. For so long and so close. Again. Scary! Thanks Scary Bear guy🙏💔🐻

@@scarybearattacks marijuana,you mean weed?
Love nature and all animals. However when people go into areas where they know they are the Prey for major Predators they should be prepared just in case of an attack. At the very least bear spray. However someone in the group should be carrying a weapon that will stop an attack that ends in a member of their group becoming a meal in a bear attack.. No one connecting with nature wants to kill any animal. However common sense goes a long way in preventing bear attacks and deaths.
Yes and at first you can shoot the ground in front of bear to trow rocks and dirt at it at a high speed..if that dont work then yeah...shoot the bear.. Sorry
Nothing to be sorry about....If its Brown its Going Dowm !!!
I see this happened in 1976 and I don't think bear spray was available back then. In that case I would have brought a firearm, but even then you need to exercise additional precautions if your shot hit but wasn't lethal. A live injured bear is an adrenalized bear and ferociously dangerous.
I'll never understand why people go into grizzly bear country without protection. Some people are just too adventurous but not thoughtful. Maybe they're crazy enough to just let the bear eat them instead of killing the bear.
@@kennethward2598
You're not likely to kill a bear with a firearm. They're charging. They will be in a position to best protect themselves. Their hide is incredibly thick. Most you'll do is injure it and make it "frenzied". The statistics are 50% of people dying with a firearm, 6% with bear spray. That means half the people thinking a gun will protect them will end up bear food.
With bear spray you have to "pray" that the wind will be in your favor and end up in Mr. Grizzly's face! That's not something to gamble with, why I'm staunch on a large caliber rifle or 12 ga.shotgun with slugs loaded. You can gamble your life with bear spray but not me!!
Both bear spray and a handgun are usually blasted at the bear about 10’, once the bear is moving fast to you. I’d rather have the gun 😏
I am always armed but when I go into the deep woods I am armed heavily I usually have either my AR 12 chambered in 458 socom or my bolt action 416 right and always have my smith and Wesson 500 magnum so I am always ready while I’m in the woods and outdoors
In the wilderness unarmed??? That's pure ignorance. Heck, I don't even go in my back yard unarmed! I have a "conceal carry" license and I take full advantage of it.
What conceal carry is taking a bear on
u say its ignorance I would say more like arrogance

Bad news bear. Some bears, like some sharks, just like eating things even if they arent in starvation mode. Wolves are known to surplus kill and big cats will kill on instinct as well, the mind of an apex predator is a scary thing.
On the wintering range for elk near my cabin, about 12 summers ago the wolves got in there and they would grasp the cow by the face at 1 end and the others would rip out the calf and the uterus from her other and not even kill her.

definitely sounds pure predatory attack!!!!!!!!! But I’ll never understand why people going out in wilderness areas are not prepared at all if they do not carry bear spray and especially a weapon capable of saving their lives from very unpredictable wildlife! All lot of the stories state these people are very experienced in outdoors, but they are forgetting the number one RULE, which is self preservation!!! God bless the ones who do pay the price though 🙏❤️
They didn't have bear spray in those days when this occurred. I think that came out in the early nineties.
Self preservation regardless if it’s a gun or anything, besides not being prepared in anyway

In Canada you can’t even have a handgun as a guide! I’m a bear guide in the USA and that giant 460 magnum in my photo is what I carry whenever I’m anywhere near grizz, blacks or browns. That 460 with grizz rounds will go through his nose and exit his butthole. Garret Grizzly protection rounds are the best ever made.!
Great recommendation! If they stop a bear they will stop anything.

I do know one thing is for sure - if I ever want to view bears in the wild, it probably will from a highly strung cable car transport !!

That is just Chilling! As the other hikers, admitted and explained in thier being Stalked like that.
Thank You very much.

My understanding is that bears attacking in a predatory manner, although not the norm, is not unheard of. It has happened and has been well documented. Some just see people as easy prey.
What a nightmare!!

I have learned from this channel that bears often attack people in tents, they occasionally attack people in campers but they NEVER attack people in hotels. Take note.

Am thankful that these campers were able to get away from this bear however at the same time , my heart goes out to this young mans family cos of what happened to him . May he be able to Rest In Peace . And I hope this bear stays away from other campers \ hikers but we all kno that this bear will more than lilely do this again cos once they have a taste for human flash tjis type of preditor will do it again . And will end up being dispatched .

Being stalked by a bear has got to be horrifying . 2 weeks ago my dog and I , were being stalked by a coyote . It's breeding season and I think a mama coy was being territorial . You would have thought I owed that bitch money . The way she was pacing , weaving , and keeping her eye on us . My Amstaff is 90lbs and not animal friendly . I had bear spray and my walking stick . My heart was racing , though . Anyway , she backed off once we got to the road . I probably would have been screaming and crying , if it was a bear . 😬😮😂

Of all the people who have been killed by a dangerous predator while hiking or camping, how many would still be alive today if they or someone they were with, would have had a gun? Sadly, many people have negative views on guns and don't believe in bringing one in the woods. It is NOT about violence or killing animals, it is about YOUR SAFETY and safety of those with you. Bottom line, a gun will SAVE YOUR LIFE. Period!
Cooking stinky meals in Bear infested Alaska is insane!! you are asking for it.
There's nothing as aromatic as soup right? :)
Never go into bear country without a weapon. Thanks for sharing ❤
You have more chance of dying in a car accident compared to being killed by a bear in bear country. Do you wear a helmet and a racing suit in your car?
to camp in bear country without major lethal weapons is just plain stupid. I would go in with several people and be heavily armed.
When will people learn wild animals are not the cute and cuddly things you think they are. Leave them alone and know that if you go into THIER HOMES, you are free game. They only do what they are made to do. They are not our friends and are " pretty boys or pretty girls" Like you think if you shout that, they will be happy. They are also NOT PETS!!
Oh My Gosh! Tragic.
That Bear Wanted Some Flesh... HUMAN FLESH. 🐻💀💀💀
Very scary situation, sounds like they did all the right things and all lived to tell the tale except of course Alan RIP God bless your family left to grieve🙏 ! I wouldn’t hurt ANY animal UNLESS personal protection and family and any other human I could help! Definitely keep and have this very important protection for situations like this , they were very lucky !
I live in an area where bears or other wild animals are not the norms. However about 10yrs ago a black bear somehow was spotted by some young teens. The police took it seriously and investigated. The bear somehow wandered in a busy thoroughfare and climbed up a telephone pole. They got Wildlife Service to get it down by firing darts to put it to sleep. They prepared the ground for its fall and transported the bear to I believe the zoo.
I was a land surveyor for the entire 80's in Alberta, Canada near The Rocky Mountains. I spent lots of time alone in the deep bush with nothing but a hatchet for protection. I encountered everything from Moose to Black Bears and Grizzlies. I'm still here today because I'm bush smart and know what to do when encountering wild animals. As far as camping in bear country goes, your taking a risk that may cost you your life! You can have 20 guns in your tent but if your sleeping when the bear attacks or taking a piss, its all over but the dying! You might have a chance if your sleeping with a pistol ready to fire in your hand with no safety on but your probably gonna just shoot yourself or buddy when you have a bad dream....lol An 800+ lb Grizzly can rip through any tent in less than 5 seconds! Good luck with that! That's why I don't sleep in a tent in bear country and never will.
I'm a big fan of the series Alone. I've always thought that the one thing I would do is make a platform to elevate myself as much as possible to feel safer from predators even if it wouldn't be an actuality.
I knew 3 girls that went on a 'girls camping trip' near Banff, Alberta. The fish & fur cops went through the campground they were in warning everyone about a grizzly being sighted in the area. They already had their food hoisted into a tree and decided to sleep in their car rather than in their tent.
A couple of hours later the grizzly attacked their car with a vengeance and caused a lot of damage before they could start the car and drive away. They were then discussing what could have had the bear zeroing in on them in particular. As it turns out one of the girls was having her period.
I have a small 5th wheel trailer with a 'bear hatch' (20" X 20" vent) above the bed at the front of the trailer. A big selling point to me.
A bear with a head cold can out sniff a blood hound on its best day.
Scary Bear Attacks
I would hammock camp at least twenty feet off the ground 😂.
Good advice but what about all the time you aren't sleeping or peeing? So it seems to me that a majority of the time a very large gun would be handy.
