- Bear Stalks Family Along Hiking Trail in Whistler
A young family recorded a scary encounter with a bear during a hiking trip in Whistler, in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
This footage, filmed by Brighton Peachey, shows a bear stalking the family along a hiking path. Peachey can be heard saying “do not run” to her child and husband who are walking slowly away from the animal.
The couple then shouts and waves their arms in an attempt to scare the bear off.
In an Instagram post Peachey said, “We later learned they’ve had to close this area multiple times because of this bears increasing aggressive behavior”.
“This was scarier than the time I was mock charged by a bear because I had my kids with me & felt helpless. The bear was not intimidated by us at all, he just kept following us.”
According to news reports the bear eventually trailed off and never became aggressive towards the family.

Plot twist...the father dropped his wallet about a mile back and the bear was just trying to give it back to him.
Right, or it just wanted to tag along. Bears don't usually attack people. Mountain Lions I would be more cautious of. But not some silly oh bear.
Plot twist: the bear was actually a debt collector from t mobile as the dude had defaulted on his contract, he was trying to scare him until it became unbearable........see what I did there?.
Twist my nuts instead 🥲
And bear saying I've been hiking for hrs can I barrow something out picnic basket or maby spot bear 20
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Them “Hey bear”
Bear: well I’m coming but when I get closer you walk faster
Phagahahahgahahagagahaahaha
"Hey bear" is so ridiculous to say. You could scream absolutely any phrase or noise. You could roar like an animal. But people say "hey bear" in the most gentle way.
😂😂😂😂 !
Lol
Interesting how people walk in the woods with nothing to protect themselves.
Just call the police.
Worse with a young family like that
It's more dangerous in the city than it is there.
I was wondering if they had bear spray
Should have kept throwing rocks, sticks and waving their arms. Not turning around and keep walking away. 😅
Props to the kid for trying to add some comic relief to the situation.
😂 moms was really shitting her pants but was tryna stay calm lol
This is so scary having two young kids, let alone without.
They have 3 one or the mon
It isn't tho.
The bear is using the trail. He isn't stalking the family.
U CANT predict if the bears wild instincts will kick in or not.
The irony of the kid saying “can we play dead yet” 🙈😬
When you go hiking where there’s bear sightings, its very important to either have a bear spray with you, or a slower friend.
A slower friend! 😅
😂
They had their kids…
No. If you are hiking in bear country without several persons with sidearms then frankly you get what you likely wanted. If a criminal is stupid (they are) then it must follow that stupidity is criminal. It is.
I just bought Udap bear spray ,shoots 40 feet
The Bear, "I'm just trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty... "
Thats not funny
@@mattc236 it really isnt
@@mattc236 I was stoned when I watched and commented.
“Can we play dead yet?” 😂
You won't have to play son.
Right?? I was thinking, you lay down right now to play dead, you will be dead. Lol
People do the dumbest things summertime's. Why would I go trail hiking with babies in an area that has bears.
That’s what I’m saying
They may not have known. Idk. Always have bear spray
As someone who grew up in BC and lived there for 30 years, I can tell you that bears are literally everywhere you go and even wander into the cities and towns often. Learning from a young age how to react and respond to bears that you encounter is the most important thing living there. Yelling "Hey bear" from 50 feet away is quite funny and cracks me up though.
@dtm1351 how should they have reacted
Common Sense = Carry bear spray in an area that has bears
Amen to that. I live in Washington State and carry it anywhere that I'm hiking. Cheap insurance. And it will also work against dogs and mountain lions. Cheap insurance!
That woman’s “yelling” is the most non-threatening warning I’ve ever heard.
She said "go home!"
The bear should answer "this is my home"
She sounds welcoming though
Don't run...but DO keep walking.
Nothing like putting your kids in Mortal Danger
Our ancestors from long ago would really wonder why we would hike into known predator habitat with our little vulnerable children.
Because the species is ______tarded.
People die from bee bites and car accidents way more than bear attacks. It's like a million to one. If we tried to eliminate every danger from our lives, we wouldn't be able to leave the house.
@@tonycarboni2002 Why go meet danger- the parents look pretty intelligent- NOT worth the risk.
@tonycarboni2002 there's a difference between inherent danger and inviting danger. If there are already significant dangers (like bees) as you say, why go into the woods and find more?
Also, your statistics is terrible. Bees kill more people because humans interact with them more. If people interacted with grizzlies in similar numbers, deaths by bears would explode.
In the U.S., every year, over 1000 people simply disappear in the wilderness.
They're not all dying from falls or drowning.
They ARE victims of predation.
They are eaten.
Period.
“Ummm … my name is not ’Bear’, it is Maurice.”
They misunderstood, the bear is just a citizen enjoying the hiking trails
Racial profiling
As someone who's spent a lot of time in remote areas of BC and who's had many grizzly and black bear close encounters.
That bear was just curious and/or just going that way. It wasn't 'stalking'. I've been stalked and often it can be very difficult to spot them and even if you do, keep eyes on them. They are very good at what they do.
Although it showed no aggressive signs, that doesn't guarantee anything. People can be lulled into a false sense of security.
Most close encounters - without a fresh kill, cubs, or a sick/injured/starving bear are just that. Maybe a bluff charge, maybe they run right past you. Generally if you leave from the direction you came, then all is fine. That isn't always the way to safety though or it might offer other disadvantages.
I'm glad the dad had some spray. That is better than most.
Even if I was packing heat (and spray) in this case, I would be sure both were at the ready, but aside from having the spray in hand like he had, I wouldn't be overly concerned.
I generally talk to bears if they are curious. In almost all cases you aren't surprising them, despite what bear bell sellers might have you believe. But you can talk to them, not look them right in the eye and back away without running or turning your back. One of the reasons I 'talk' to them is to gauge their intent... curious or angry. If curious they will be interested in the fact you are talking. If they just want you out of there, they don't care.
For a black bear, I might try to scare it off... Hard when there are kids along.. I'd have them behing the adults if possible. The yelling and carrying on might cause a bear to break off. Most times it has no effect.
If you are attacked, then learning to shoot under survival stress, in awkward positions and with others around requires a lot of practice to do well and safely. You don't want to shoot to injure. Shooting should be an absolutely last resort for many reasons.
If this trial is in a provincial park of BC, you are not allowed to carry (😞) a firearm, bow or crossbows except for "Open Season" under the Wildlife Act. And then, it's likely those trials are closed to non hunters.
Many Canadians have mixed feelings on it; on the one hand you want/need to be able to defend yourself and others, on the other hand, it's likely someone (2 legged variety) will be shot/injured by mistake (or...well...maybe not), and our government's having none of that.
They got lucky. As you stated and many VERY experienced outdoors people have said, "it's not the bear you see to worry about, it's the bear you don't."
@@bobcaygeon6799you carry anyway fuck that
Wonderfully calm parents! Kudos to them!
You know they're all dead don't you.
@@JGBCFC91 wrong.
The woman ”yelling” is just alluring to the bear….
Lady human: Hey bear! Go Home.
Bear: Umm i am home
Bear was like: crap those jerks have a camera. Those mfs never die 😂😂
That's smokey the bear trying to tell the family that only you can prevent forest fires.
This vid made me finally buy a couple of bear spray cans for our hikes.
That's all you need unless you are Elk hunting in Grizzly country.
Beer burp
Yes
I’d suggest a 10mm. Bear spray is great when you know it’s bluffing but you’re not gonna have time to switch until after you figure that out. Plus bear spray can go really really wrong depending on the direction of the wind. I’d suggest both.
@@invaderjoshua6280or you could just stay out of the bears home instead of going in there and shooting up the place
The parents: trying to hide their panic
Kid: *Can we play dead now?*
The Bear :" WHY the F... they shout at me, i hold more then 2 meters distance."
What's scary Is I seen another video of bear behaving this exact same way but was following a moose and her 2 children. Finally after several long hours according to the video, it got close and just suddenly snapped and sprinted at the baby moose. Ate it right in front of the mother and took the 2nd aswell...absolutely savage and brutal
Many people are simply not suitable for being out in the wild. They should have a firearm with them or not be there at all. It is that simple.
When out on my farm I always carry a firearm with me. I normally have a rifle in the truck and a side arm. I come across bears all the time and any one of them could just snap.
wtf? That's what bears do. Do you think they shop at Safeway?
@@bighands69 You're American right?
@@hublocker849 🤣🤣 still savage and brutal bro.
@@armaniwebb4467 That's life in the woods.
She said “go home bear” lol the bear is like I am home lol
Pretty scary I hope they made it out safe
Go home? he is home!
I dont see his house anywhere. How would you know?
Hey bear
*hey breakfast
This is not stalking. If you have ever seen a bear stalk (or any animal), this is not it. This bear is using the path of least resistance, just like this family. The family did everything exactly right.
Following with bad intentions is stalking. Shut up.
Stalking expert.... stalker
@@shizlittlebam Stalking is when you are trying stay hidden in order to take by surprise. The stalker wants the prey to be unaware of them.
All kinds of animals like to use trails, I assume for the same reason humans do: they're easier. I was even "stalked" by a turkey once 🦃. But the most interesting are lizards, although they usually run ahead of me and refuse to get off the trail.
The bear is persistently following and closing the distance between itself and its quarry; in this case the children being the “easy pickings.” It’s not in Disney World asking for accommodation.
Mom: hey bear
Bear: I'm coming
Shes so fking annoying lol
Why are they calling "Hey Bear" when they want it to go away 😭
She's got s new album her biggest hit is "heeyyyyyy bear... HEY!"
Bear: "They sped up..I sped up ..they sped up..I sped up, but I never did find out what was chasing us!"
Bear: i just walk and enjoy my day
Yeah yeah on your sleep
following? goes to show that majority of people know nothing about bears
And the award for parents of the year goes to 'Heeyy Bear'...
We had that same encounter yesterday at colony farms in Coquitlam BC
Was funny, a cyclist was riding by us and warned of two bears hanging out at the gate ahead, so I said, hell no, we go the other way then. Sure enough ,"the other way",ended up going back,that way... a loop lol
So, walking along, my friend stops me and there's the grass moving and here a head pokes out. I just about died...my heart rate. I am always terrified to run into bears and have my horn and bear spray with me. So the bear continued to come up towards us, at the point we started walking backwards and quietly complimenting the bear lol
He continued to follow us or walk behind us on the trail. There was another one sitting on the other side of the trail.
I was so freaked out...grabbing for my horn and spray. Praying to god this bear would just stop following us, because I have seen videos where the bear follows for a long time. I was just so worried that I could trip and that might startle it and then it may decide to charge. It was a really unique experience. It was both frightening and exilerating, to see such beauty in their natural habitat. But honestly, I don't want to go through that again lol
I am grateful they were good bears and not aggressive. It was scary!
Did you end up using the horn? I’m considering buying it to scare off bears that don’t respond to my voice, but are too far for spray.
I would NEVER bring my children into a region were bears live.
I couldn't imagine how terrifying that would be having kids there
😂 The bear was like “ Hey I can hear you loud and clear, so HEY right back atcha! Let me catch up and we can chat about the creepy ponytail dude that’s been following me for the last hour !”
*Telling a bear in the woods to go home* *is maybe what he’s trying to tell you!*
Nature is humans home, just as much as it is the bears home.
Humans are an invasive species. We are destroying this planet and every living thing on it. The bears don't do that.....do they?@@gatorade1968
@@gatorade1968they don't understand nature. They only understand the liberal concept of nature, which is based on humans being evil and that people should stop breeding and going outside of cities.
Go home bear said wha do you mean this is my home lady you needs to get out of my way
Hay bear. The kind that cut hay and stack it in the barn. Very polite and hard-working bear.
U know, the BEAR IS HOME... look at the terrain, the bear is just walking on the only flat terrain around... he wasn't following mommy and daddy...
That is not normal bear behavior...bears kill and feed on the young of other animals.
I can just hear the bear's thoughts now, "for the love of Pete, would you shut your noisy sound maker!!! I'm just trying to travel through and you're giving me a bear of a headache!" 😂
I swear to god if that was my wife and kids I would have had her take all 3 and I'd have stayed and done ANYTHING I could to at least slow him down so they could get away ....NO WAY COULD I STAY THAT CALM AND JUST WALK AWAY AND HOPE HE DOESNT CHARGE ME WITH MY CHILD ON MY BACK
The mother should have taken the little child and the dad should have been the one to yell and stand tall. I doubt the mother’s voice served as a deterrent.
The bear is like hey buddy get lost, all the women chose me.
The kid asking “can we play dead now?” Rotfl
Get you gun out...right, you don't have one.
Bear spray at all time when walking in the back country it should be mandatory
They’ve watched so many TH-cam videos on this thing that they have conflicting views on how to deal with it 😂
Your in his home
Why are you voicing it like a "come here call"?
That sounds like how people call their dogs. It's no wonder it kept coming.
Everyone has advice sitting on their couch…😏
"Just wanted to talk about your car's extended warranty"
Women dont have deep enough voices or aggressive enough instinct. You need to literally scare the shit out of a black bear if you see one so they see you as a threat.
Alternate title: Couple seems intent on feeding their children to a bear.
If the bear wants you, you are dead. The bear wants to use the trail. GET OUT OF ITS WAY.
This video was taken from a cell phone found in the middle of the woods😂😮
Did they ever find their remains?
that bear is not stalking anyone at all. It's just using the trail for travel. A stalking black bear move much closer and exhibit other signs such as running in different directions, climbing trees and making noises. Here's a video of an actual stalking black bear: th-cam.com/video/JoS37cNbT7w/w-d-xo.html
I hope she learns that "Hey Bear" is sooooooooo wrong. She's missing survival instincts.
The bear is like hey didnu know if u u give me food ill leave im frensly but u keep yelling hey while i yell heyyy back lol
You didn't show how you escaped the bear finally.
Did you have a gun or spray, for protection ?
Kein Spray kein nichts. "Coole Eltern"
Even if you don’t like fire arms, have you heard of firecrackers?
Bottle rockets work really well also
No bear spray?
Bear spray isn’t as good as you think
I wouldn’t go in bear and cougar country without a firearm and spray especially when I have my family with me
0:22 😂😂😂 HEY BEAR.HEY!!
Go Home Bear
Bear: iam Home 😂
I only came for the plot twist.
"Can we play dead now?"
These parents r def top 3 finalists for Darwin award. Who the hell brings small children wit them on a hike into grizzley bear country. WTF!!
Shout like perrrrkele!!!😂
You mean bear observes clueless hipsters intruding on his turf
Legit question. Not trying to be a smartass but what would you do in this situation instead? I was thinking maybe put the kid on the dads shoulders?
@@myproject132 I would have taken my family out to the wilderness prepared with a handgun and bear mace
@@Thr3e6Murphia okay get what your saying now lmao. Very true too
He truly is a soy boy
they aren't clueless, they are doing everything right actually lol
Here cause of Rogan. I dont think she understands that bear dont speak english 😂
So how does the story end? Did anything happen?
The family lost the phone in the woods, the bear found it and posted the video on TH-cam.
The woman's yelling what's like she wannet to invite the bear to take a cup of tea
The bear knows handguns are banned in Canada
Bear: Lunchtime
We were walking up behind the Fairmont about a week ago early morning (still dark) up behind the Fairmont on a trail between the Aspen and Acer and came across a big male black bear under a cedar only about 10 metres away from us. Scared the bejesus out of us, Turned around and quick walked back to the road then fast as we could back to Blackcomb village. We’d been walking around the village all week at this time without really realising the potential risk. Never again without bear spray.
I'm new in wisthler I have never see bear in my life last week early Morning I see two very big bear black and grazzily one I was really scared and very slowly I walked back thanks lord they not attack on me
How did you tell it's a male
It's nice to have a gun and not need it then need a gun and not have it
Does a bear sh$t in the woods & wipe his ass with a fluffy white rabbit 🐇 😂
Bear spray? Guns!
So the father sees the bear behind him and doesn’t pull out a gun or pepper spray just in case the bear charged his family??? Smh.
Her high pitched voice repeatedly raised may well sound like an animal in trouble!
Probably the bear has hearing issues
Recorded vertically:(
It's that alligator jacket. Bears love alligators.
''go home bear'' fym mf you're in its home
He goes hiking in bear country with his wife and children and has no firearm to protect them???????
Can’t shot bears fam. Also the you’ll have to get in more than a couple of shots to stop that thing
Yes in Canada we always go outside without guns. And we don't shoot at everything that moves.
It’s people like this that get eaten by bears. I always carry, an air horn, bear mace and a gun just in case the other options don’t work or you need the gun in a hurry. People who go into the wilderness without any form of protection are just plain stupid !
@@briankirklandcastillo282A 10mm and bear spray should always be required items when hiking in bear country. You draw a 10mm first until you observe its charge if it dose one. If it stops and bluffs you take the opportunity to get out your bear spray if it continues the charge you use the 10mm instead.
That voice.
I thought it was going to eat her just for the voice.
I love how unfazed the little boy in the dungarees is
The whole thing was really disgusting. Taking their little child out there with ability to defend them self.
Can we dance to mp3 music when mom bears are around?
A beer on a hinking trial. It can be said. Ho! Hah!
😂😂😂He's having his walking as you are doing......it seems calm and quiet....I wish.....You got the right behaviour...very good!!!!
Hey bear, hey bear yah, that's going to scare the bear
Bear spray ? I carry it in my car in Atlanta Ga , and I would damn sure have a 6 pack on me in Whistler Canada
