- A bear comes to investigate our camp as we get ready to cook dinner. We rest easy and stay safe by using electric fence. Katmai coast, Alaska peninsula.

You’re putting a lot of faith in 4 wires.
ya really
@@KR-1zero we spend 16 hours a day with the bears outside the fence tho
Years ago I had two horses and a tiny pony in a field surrounded by an electric fence. Before I got the pony the fence charger could be shorted out for a few days before I realized and fixed the problem and the horses were none the wiser. When I got the pony, that little Bratt could smell when the power was off and would escape with the 2 horses in tow within a few hours! As smart as bears are, I have no doubt that once they understand what an electric fence does they would have a keen sense as to whether it was functioning or not. A bear circling is getting a good smell of the camp.
I missed this last time around.. You are spot on! Animals, especially donkeys (from my experience) can feel whatever ground affect electric fences have. I'm no vet or science guy, but I do know what I have seen... Power down the fences for maintenance, they'd come right up and ignore the wires.. Powered up, they wouldn't so much as get close enough to become the "fuse" / ark. Bears are far more insideous in my opinion, especially when they are hungry.. I find it only unnerving how casual this bare was in broad daylight while surveying / probing this encampment.. 'Smells like' (heh) a partially babituated bear to be so obvious.. I'm glad you pointed this out... It is all just a deterrence thou, and people should understand, than you could have a spooked sow with cubs come across you and she'd run right through any fence to get at a threat, imo.
I don't think they smell the fence when it's on, I think they can hear it.
@@tammymatt9186 That could be. Any electric fence, when on, leaks a little energy to the ground, be it through damp air, a weed, or just humidity on the insulators and posts. Otherwise, the battery would never run down. That leak may create some ozone (like the air after a thunderstorm) and perhaps a slight buzzing sound that we humans may not hear, but animals could.
If that 🐻 would have charged , you were toast fence or no fence.
Thanks for being 1 of the few who doesn't shoot to kill, ESPECIALLY when your behind a powerful Electric fence.
I understand in some situations, like being in the open back country with No other protection to hide behind..
You must shoot to kill.
Thank you for sharing this Beautiful experience with us!
Stay out of their world, but protect the hell out of yours.
"Bears generally don't want trouble." - Sounds exactly like something Timothy Treadwell would say.
What most bears want and do is not relevant to the few that will assert themselves.
Nice. Detereence is better than execution and I agree that, lik people, 'most' bears don't want trouble. I also believe that it's good to be prepared for both.
Hope you're well.
It worked in that case. There are many instances of bears going right through electric fence, no prob. All bears are different
Outside of my previous posts, I'll add one more, for those considering bear defense and deterrence.. I think the electrified fence setup (if setup properly) is a really good idea for camp.. One thing I would also include are (interior) perimeter trip wires.. No, I don't mean claymore mines, etc... They sell these devices (cheap) to work with 12g blanks or primers that are sure to wake you up, and scare animals almost out of their skin.. There are videos of these here on YT, and I've actually used them before, but never had one tripped. Reason being? IF the fence goes down, or a predator decides food is worth the jolt.. You'll get a heads up, in case they stick around.. Still love this video! And, I also believe animals can somehow detect whatever field it may produce from the ground to the wire..
When three becomes a crowd !!!! Great video Brad !
OMG beatiful bear
You are my hero
You guys actually believe that electric wire will stop a grizzly?
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
😬😬
We tired this trick against black bears and it did not work.
Yeah they are very effective
@@bradjosephs serious? I look at that little wire and that great big bear and i just think its fur and hide are too thick to even feel it.
Bears are not predictable, don't bank on that.
Very predictable actually
@@bradjosephsAgreed. They are if you have experience. For example, if you predict a female with offspring will act aggressively toward you if you surprise her or approach to closely, you'll be right. If you predict a grizzly on a kill will defend it if you happen to stumble into it you'll be correct. If you predict that if you walk with the wind at your back and shout something like "Hey bear!" every once in awhile you likely won't encounter any bears even if they are close by, you'll be right again.
A question, is that fence gonna stop a really hungry bear?
Probably. The less likely bear to be stopped is an enraged bear.
No, I've seen bears go through 5 wire electric fences, they take the shock.
No. It won't stop a bear.
Answer,mostly not but taking precaution is better than to be a smart idiot right?
@@helikopter86: a smart idiot would have a Smith & Wesson 500 locked and loaded.
that is awesome Brad, thats for posting.
Yup. You're welcome.
I wouldn't wager my life on it
Stay in town then. I’ll keep posting videos for you
@@bradjosephs Hopefully! God bless you.
@@bradjosephs What a douchey response to a respectful comment. You insecure or something?
@@railgapand are you?
Like sharks it all depends on how hungry they are at the time that determines how the situation goes down .
I just bought the 45 sq ft UDAP bear fence and going to test it out camping in the interior of BC in a couple weeks. Is that an UDAP fence? I see it has 4 wires though and UDAP only has 3. Would have love to see it touch his nose on those wires to see how effective it is. Certainly gives you some added security at night in your tent though.
So far so good. Sleeping may be safer however we still have to leave what appears to be a well designed safety zone.. Definitely a good option!
Someday those bears will surprise someone by leaping / jumping or cartwheeling over that fence !!
Jump? lol. You don't know much about grizzlies do you?
@@snappingbear I met a drunk grizzly at a bar and she torn the shit out of me in bed. Big tall woman and a lot of loving to boot. lol 😂
Oh man that would oh had me so scared, haha you all got some nerves of steel.
Check out the rest of my videos! Lol
He's having some salad before the main course, Human with a bit of peanut butter.😂😂
I like the video with the salmon fisherman that was just sitting in a chair relaxing when a grizzly walked up and sat next to him. Looked so calm and relaxing but i know that guy was messing his pants trying to figure out what to do.
Im hard if hearing and bears make me nervous, they are relatively quiet when they meander up to a campsite (from my perspective, being partially deaf) but they are so powerful that i wouldn’t stand a chance. I like to think i could at least fight a mountain lion so i didnt die a complete looser but a bear…. Just tell me what plate you want me to sit on me bear. Lol.
Wowzers!!!👍😎🇨🇦😳
“It all works out” Famous last words. They’re just pets!
If he is motivated he would go through the fence and the side of your house to get what he wants . 😮
Bear returns with large rolled carpet and breeches.
OK, it was just checking you out ❤
Have to admit that I was hoping for a more shocking ending.
Lol me too. I wanted to film its effectiveness.
How did you trick him? What do you smell like? What’s in the yeti? How much voltage in those twigs and wires?
What weapon do you use to defend yourself from a bear that big and that close ?
Timothy Treadwell just called... He wants to know how he can obtain a fence like this.. :p
TT was too arrogant to have used one anyways!
@@randallmarsh1187 Agreed! The only thing that even bothers me in the least bit is him getting the girlfriend killed.. Sure, she could have refused to go back out there when the flight wasn't going to happen, but a lot of people drink kool aid, and believe in delusional people.. The bears could have done the world a favor and taken him out far earlier.. My 2 blatant cents...
Wasn’t he the one that got killed and eaten along with his girlfriend ?
@@scotsmanofnewengland7713 Yes he was! All that occurred after he went on talk shows over and over again and bragged about how much he understood bears and their activities and because of that how safe he was. I really felt bad for his girlfriend because she was only there to help him pack up and leave for the season.
@@randallmarsh1187
I think you meant to say
Ignorant😂
❤❤❤❤
Make sure you leave the camera on and.a will to post the video when that day finally comes
Fun fact: Timothy Treadwell had a crush on this guide 😊
Hey senya pennington speaking how nice of you Brad to give that Grizzly Bear a second chance of life and not shoot it YOU WILL BE REWARDED good things are sure to come to you 🧸🎁✨🎀✨🎁
The bears have basically made my life. I can never pay them back enough!
@@bradjosephs senya here How sweet Alaska Grizzly Bears are my favorite because they are the biggest Out in Alaska I don’t know why that is Have a delicious Day 🥞🥓
He’s gonna get a shock when he goes over that electric fence, then he’s gonna be pissed when he eats you two fools!
And the battery dies…. crap! 😊
What fence is that?
Did he swing by later and tried again?
I've seen video of a bear getting a carcass that was hooked to an electrical shocker. I'd hate to bet my life on just how hungry a bear might be on any particular day.
Great video ✌️
When winterr is coming and they are getting ready for hibernation...be more wary than ever.
'"Bears generally don't want trouble"...ok Tim Treadwell.
Treadwell was different tho. I knew him.
Thank you 🐻😄
ne could hangen and test you later? na not safe when an ugly boar does not care about the fence and gets pissed . i don't know but i seens ugly boars who eat cubs walk strait through it with a little fuss. this is just a good bear grizzly.
Nice bear video. I was disappointed there was no interaction between bear and fence. I think there probably is a good argument in favour of using a fence. However, on the level of fence deters bear this interaction demonstrates nothing. Just a curious bear minding its own business, as most bears will do most of the time. Timothy Treadwell demonstrated that quite well, most of the time, but not all the time.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
If that bear wants what's on the other side of that fence, he'll come get it and unless that hot wire is lethally hot it won't make two hoots in hell.
Excellent video and so true. I'd still have a 10mm in a hand, or even better, a shotgun... You all NOT panicking (properly prepared and knowledgeable) generally gets one to this point. And on another point, you are right.. A lot of people would. have shot it due only to proximity..
B.S. "A lot of people in Alaska would have probably shot this bear already." Obviously, you are a newbie with bears. We fish alongside them, sunbathe on the rocks as they fish nearby, and share blueberry patches with grizzlies. The Katmai bears, like this one, have been very acculturated to us since at least the late 1960's. That adolescent coastal brown was curious and, as is a general rule, most likely looking for food. You and I are seldom food for them. I like the electric fence idea, but as friends of mine reported, they liked it too until they didn't.
I been guiding bear viewers and film crews for 25 years. I’m not a newbie.
what if the bear charges full speed. he will get through that and be madder.
Slim chance. Same as when you are driving and if the brakes suddenly failed. Could happen, but it really won’t
This fence will not stop a charging or determined bear.
It’s a good deterrent
@1mindpaper how do you know do you have proof it doesn't work I'll wait !
Well, that was an anticlimax 🤔
Pepper spray is more effective than guns
Wild animals are unpredictable I don't think I would allow a bear to get comfortable timothy treadwell rip
All the credit needs to go to the yeti cooler
I can’t afford them
@@bradjosephs ha me either
Think he is stalking his dinner
If that beer rush u .he would break strait threw that fence and u would be breakfast
Thanks for tip Chief. You should stay in town
He can sense you are not afraid of him, that is why he very cautious & senses something is not right, you take that fence off & both you will be Lunch.
Can a bear jump over that fence?
No, not like a deer
Oh gee let’s get an apex predator used to humans so they don’t fear us anymore. Great idea! Feel sorry for the next victims.
Bear fear porn
You act as if there is no way any bear are going to go through that fence. One day we will be reading about how poor you got killed by a bear.
I doubt it.
Could go wrong quickly
I am from Alaska and that Brown bear not grizzly wouldn't even flinch until he ate the both of you. Lol Your luck falls in the fact he has more food to eat than he can stuff in his belly . If he were hungry you would be food. Wrapped up in a electric fence
I have been guiding film crews and bear viewing expeditions for 25 years on the Alaska peninsula. Sounds like you haven’t been out there.
LOL ok
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd theeeeeeeee underwear is ruined.
the only reason these dudes are alive is because that bear didn't attack, not because of a 20" tall electric fence.. pathetic false sense of security, until your dead..
this entire video is ridiculous and horrible, deadly advise.. i could hop over that fence, that bear wouldn't feel it until you were dead if he attacked. dangerous advise.
I know that electric fences are effective as I used them to protect property while living on the Ak Peninsula. However, sitting in the perimeter of one like the guys are doing while not being prepared for a charge is irresponsible unless they don’t have a family.
Head's Up too You Brad. Your Video was fantastic and your neighbor was well aware & very well behaved. But please don't be a Timothy Treadwell advocate say that they are possibly predictable or Big Teddy 🧸🧸 Bear's.
For the sake of all the Naive humans, and the well fare of those Magnificent Bears 🐻🐻 You are showing Us? Please I'm begging You be absolutely Truthful about everything.
Alas Good Luck 🤞🤞 May God be with You and Yours, & don't become a Bear's 🐻🐻Dinner 🍽️🍽️ item. Thank You. Wyoming, Robert. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👍👍🤔🤔🙏🙏🙏
This guy speaking will definitely be a victim one day!!
Really? Why do you say that? I appreciate the input tho lol 🤡
Being from Kodiak, Alaska, I can promise you that so called electric fence won't do crap if that bear decides to charge you. Not a smart idea.
What if the bear came charging at you full speed crashing the fence?
It would be a mess. So would a meteor hitting us, or a tsunami or the volcanos nearby erupting. Likely not gonna happen
@@bradjosephs Oh, how clever of you.
Hahahaha Lol!
“Most bears don’t want trouble, but they are always curious.”
I believe that from my experiences as well.
Same. But the key word is "most". Just like with people, a small percentage can cause big trouble.
I also find it better to be prepared than scared.
Hope you're well and still getting out.
The key is MOST! Wild animals do wild things and humans can end up being supper!
Nice. Detereence is better than execution and I agree that, lik people, 'most' bears don't want trouble. I also believe that it's good to be prepared for both.
Hope you're well.
I am watching all kinds of videos. I would not expect a very hungry, or injured and desperate griz to be deterred by an electric fence. The "electrified carcass" video was the most instructive. The bear was willing to be shocked hard many times in the mouth. I purchased the most power 12vdc energizer I could afford that has a reserve of 4.7 joules as it is best to have enough juice to hit hard through a thick and possibly damp coat. And the bear could become entangled in the fence, grounding it out. In the event that they are highly motivated, It is best to be able to hit them hard as possible so that they do not test the fence again.
agreed. A hungry Grizz moving at 400 lbs on up into the "protected" zone to get its human Shish Kabobs probably wouldn't be deterred by a little fence.
He's got nothing but time
If he charges, he will go right through that fence, before he even feels the shock.
He wouldn’t do that tho. We gave him no reason to charge
Don’t lecture us. If that fence doesn’t work, then what ya gonna do?
I’d want that fence to be a couple feet taller
What a nice Teddy bear !
Was that a sow, or a subadult male?
It was a subadult male. I’m glad he didn’t want to test the fence.
