Fellow Calgarian working through PTSD. I’m grateful for your example! I may not be a big tough dude, but I’m a small, tough woman and mother and I can definitely relate with feeling like this is one of the hardest things I’ve been through. When you’re a determined person who’s used to getting through life by grit, determination, & pushing through the tough stuff, PTSD can be so destabilizing. Because, at least for me, I can’t heal by pushing through. Not this time. And it can be hard to feel weak but try to remember that I’m not. That trauma is an important evolutionary response.

​@@mitchdevi6432 he just got whacked by a bear, he would've had some degree of shock. I'd think of the same idea to document things if the worst happened and also to check out how my face and head was. Hanging around for 15 minutes was probably a mistake but after how the bear ran off squealing in pain I also thought she won't come back. His whole survival is nothing short of a miracle, including the curious bear at the end.

[@Ace-ke7fq]

what about the momma Bear though, she had baby's he could've hurt her

[@christinascallion6557]

He was probably in shock, due to injury and that explains the calm.

[@loriwaldo7200]

He made the decision to be calm. Just to try overcome his ordeal was quite complicated given his face was ripped off. He had to really focus and adapt to accomplish achieving each step. To say his calm was simply shock is minimizing the situation he overcame. He showed amazing fortitude and steely grit. Most people would have laid down and died from shock. Not this man. He proved to be a very intelligent, fiercely brave man that loves his family so deeply that he pushed through his terrible pain and challenges and won. Baby shark will never mean the same thing to me again. 😊

​@@loriwaldo7200 shock makes you calm cos you only have so much energy left so you focus on what's essential. You're also a bit out of it, reference the fishing attempt. It's the body protecting you from being fully conscious of the reality cos you couldn't cope.

[@loriwaldo7200]

@@kokoskokso I understand that shock plays a part in this but to say it’s all because of shock dismisses the fact that this man is an extremely strong and unusual person in the manner he approaches his life this situation being no exception.

*He literally gave up at the end and tried to kill himself….like LITERALLY stuck a gun to his chin and pulled the trigger.*

[@5GreenAcres]

He did give up. He pulled the trigger and GOD saved him. God and his guardian angels also put the necessary fear in him by the accidental second shot that missed his face. Sadly, he has to get in touch with his spirituality. If this lesson didn't bring him to his senses I have to wonder what it will take.

[@Idky547]

@@5GreenAcresOR we can look at it logically and realize guns misfire ALL the time at random. No gun is 100% and perfect and won’t have a misfire. It was sheer luck what happened to this man. It was luck mixed with will to see his child and wife again after the gun misfired, most likely because he loaded it wrong due to not being able to see and probably jammed it for a second. It wasn’t god or angels. If it were god, he wouldn’t have let this man get treated like a chew toy 3 times in a row. If god had a part to play, I figure he woulda helped the guy out after the first bear attack and made it so the bear missed him the second time rather than it being the gun that missed. Adrenaline is a powerful thing. If it can make a woman lift an entire car to save her child (it’s been documented and seen before) then I’m pretty sure the adrenaline could keep this man going enough to get help. WE make our own outcomes and destiny. Not some mythical being in the sky that goes against every fact of the timeline of history. My chances of being religious went out the window when I saw a group of Christian’s arguing with someone over the existence of dinosaurs! 😂

You were given a second, third chance to live. I wish all bear attack survivors to find the strength you found within yourself and the will to get back to their family's too, 😢. I didn't get to end my first time hearing what you survived through because it shook me up so badly but I've just finished your video and want to thank you for sharing your storey. You are one brave, strong young man. 😊

I've had two pitbulls off leash charge at my dog never broke skin but I was rattled for days, I couldn't even imagine being charged at by a Grizzly I'm so happy for you and your family that you are alive.

[@roxannemoser]

I'm sorry that happened to your dogs. I'm a responsible pit owner. My pit loves humans and he's good to other dogs, unless my husband and I show any affection to another dog. We keep our pit securely on our property and we don't show affection to other animals. We don't show hate either. We try to politely take them home and ask the owner to supervise their dog and not let them in our yard. It has worked. Whoever owns those dogs had no business having two pitties.

[@StrawberryShortcake3-f4b]

@@roxannemoser Thank you. Both attacks were fairly recent and different owners. It's deliberate.

[@jessd423]

I had a pitbull charge at me while walking my little dog. She picked up my dog and shook him like a rag doll. It's a miracle she didn't kill him. Pitbulls should not be pets. Even the previous comment admits their dog is aggressive if they show signs of affection towards another dog?! Good Lord... Pitbulls have the strength and power to do serious damage, and they're completely unpredictable.

Pits are no more unpredictable than any other dog. Anyone who has an unpredictable pit doesn’t actually know their dog, hasn’t trained the dog and/or can’t read dog body language. Very very very rarely are any dogs unpredictable if you know how to read their very obvious body language.

Can’t believe I stumbled onto your site…but have watched your entire interview. I’m an old Marine sergeant(68-69 in the Nam) and went 28 years before I was dragged to a VA Hospital. I took PTSD, cognitive behavior training and Anger Management ( 3 times through entire courses) until I was able to deal with my issues. I am still medicated for depression, anxiety and for nightmares. Never will totally understand trauma but I am a fighter like your guest and a survivor!! I help others and like I told a lance corporal, “It will be fate, luck, chance or God if we don’t go home in body bags!!” In my case, God brought me home. 🙏😎🇺🇸

I was sitting in my Orthodontist’s office at age 13 in 1976 reading a ‘Readers Digest’. They had a segment in each episode called ‘Drama in real life’ The title defined it perfectly. A man was camping/hunting in Alaska (Think thats the right state). He was asleep in his tent when a Grizzly or Kodiak got a hold of him and the part I’ll never forget is the bear swung one of his paws at the guy ripping his scalp off and the claws raking across his skull leaving visible marks on it... He survived but was torn up horribly.. I’m 61. That story has stayed with me…

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

Absolutely , I love all animals , I adore Cats though but even though I love animals , I'm terrified of bears. I watched a very old movie called "Grizzly " it just came on TV and it was pretty graphic for regular TV so many years ago .It was about a rouge Grizzly and it was killing and attacking people ,to this day its my biggest fear .I love the mountains so much and the woods but I dont hike in the mountains r go walking in the woods much anymore , not like I did when I was a kid , no where in a area where a bear could be , r at least , not that I know of . I've had nightmares about that movie and now I've heard many stories about bear attacks and I will still have a bad dream now and then and I worry sick about my son , who loves both the mountains and the woods, he's not afraid of anything , unfortunately , he reminds me a lot of Him , ADHD and all lol

Jeremy is really strong and has a sense of humor like my friend Heather who was in a horrible car crash and the car exploded and she was burned all over. Much like Jeremy she looks really good. They are both lucky they look normal. I wouldn't look at Jeremy and think he had severe facial injuries like what happened. Its humor and keeping depression away. It's like switching the thoughts that go through the mind. I hope Jeremy has all of his hopes and dreams fulfilled. Make this horrible event into something amazing!!

[@lolly6550]

@@frantssagmyr-truksvik6140God didn’t send that bear. Bears exist and things happen just as accidents and diseases happen. It is part of this world that became distorted by sin and our rebellion towards God. It is a consequence of that. However, God does take horrible situations and will use them for good and great beauty even in the most horrific circumstances. It’s hard to understand and one day, we will see the big picture. God doesn’t waste a minute of our pain and suffering. He can transform it and us. I hope this man will recognize the gift he has been given and will turn to God. God didn’t want this to happen to this man but God allows free will and nature to happen. God did save this man’s life and give him more time to get in relationship with Him. If God had allowed him to die on that mountain, his soul would have been lost forever. He now has a chance for eternal life with God. So it was merciful even in the midst of great pain.
