Of course I was shocked and the kids trembled but we knew we had to behave as naturally as possible so we just continued walking as if he hadn't been there...

[@CBPERCY]

I was on a similar trail in Katmai several years ago when a mom and two cubs came close....my friend and I stepped off the trail, into the tall grass, and stood silently while the three bears went on by, not paying any attention to us. It seemed the smartest thing to do rather than continue on down the trail with them behind us.

[@Readysetgo2007]

Yeah, I see you as smarter than this guy. You're supposed to back up and stay still. But I guess this guy chose to be comfortable and not go inside some bushes, instead waiting for the bears to do so (which they never did). 🙂

[@kingsamson9146]

@@Readysetgo2007 Stay still? So that the bear is really surprised once he notices you. Nah, I don't really thinks so but then again I have no idea. If it worked in that situation it must have been the right thing to do?

[@Stratigic_Cheese_Reserve]

It's quite possible that the bear was using you as a shield from a nearby male, biologists have noted that some grizzly moms with cubs walk close to area frequented by humans because the know the smell will unnerve adult male bears, which are the main cause of death for cubs, it may also explain why she is constantly glancing back, looking for a predatory male.

[@damotoneko1500]

*+Roundfrenchcheesey* So you're saying male bears are frightend by the scent of men? Remind me again why i have to shower. I'm a natural bear repellent!

[@alexk1682]

It seemed more like the cubs were leading the way.

[@funyun]

DA MotoNeko Bro just shower and stay fresh, because I'm pretty sure you will shat yourself if a male grizzly walk by you. That's the smell that bears are afraid of

[@classicfox1ify]

[@tylaquiljones]

Nadine Heart my thoughts too!! He prob only managed to keep from panicking because he was forcing himself to talk through it, you know? Scary and impressive.

[@FayeKelly]

i got that impression too, i really felt for the guy when he stated the exact date he had arrived in the area, i immediately thought that the guy must be thinking "this might be the only chance my friends and family have to find out how i died"! gosh! must have been scary.

[@jeroennickman]

It supposedly helps if you make constant low noise so the bears don't have the chance to be startled by any movement of yours they didn't anticipate.

[@Armored_Muskrat]

Yes, the talking is useful. But the "this is the first walk since I arrived on Friday, July 14th" sounds like a "message in a bottle" statement in case he gets killed. Glad he made it.

[@kwasjemycat9236]

can he not turn his back and run faster?

You obviously forgot the safety session where they tell you to step off the path and give the bears space.

[@MMandGlitter]

Bears are much much much more likely to attack something with it's back turned to it. That's why he was walking backwards. It obviously worked. It's the same thing with big cats. Much less likely to come at you if they can see you're facing them.

[@supersaiyandrgnslayr]

According to the park rangers apparently he did NOT: This is at Brooks camp, that bear is actually well known and called Molly, she is used to human presence and the rules of the campground gives bears the right of way. What he should've done is slowly walk off the trail and let the bears pass.

[@westmorelandroad]

If only Molly had hd the decency to introduce herself, he would have known that and not bothered walking backwards like an idiot. Thank you for your insight.

[@mcervantes362]

The authorities say you should always wear a little bell and carry pepper spray in bear country. You can tell the kind of bears by their poop. Black bear poop contains twigs and berries. Grizzly bear poop contains little bells and smells like pepper spray.

[@Rainsofchange]

Mhm. Because usually momma isn't too far behind. The young of many species are cute, making it difficult to refrain from approaching. But it usually just ends up causing problems. Feed deer? Attract predators that hunt deer. Approach baby bear? Attract momma bear. Interacting with wildlife gets so sticky. I love the cute videos where humans and wild animals seem to work in harmony, but some of the negative consequences are just heartbreaking.

[@Aetolus]

They were going to the beach, this is Brooks. The man recording the video is a fucktard who ignored the Park's rule, he's suppose to get off the trail as the bears have right of way. If a ranger saw this he would have kicked him outta the camp immediately.

He did just the right thing. He stayed calm, didn't turn his back on them, kept talking softly to keep himself and them calm. If he had turned off they still may have followed him except he wouldn't be headed to the shelter he was using AND could have gotten lost. Usually when people hike alone they let someone know their route and expected time of return or post it on the log at the trail head. If he had taken another route and got injured it would have been harder to find him. If he stepped off the trail and stood still hoping they would pass, the curious cubs would have examined him and any motion of his might have been seen as a possible threat and inspired a warning or attack by mom. I hope I hold it together and take the best course of action as well as he did if I'm ever in a similar situation. Very well done sir !

[@davsaltego]

“Let’s play with him, mom!” Mom: “Sure, but first let me take the stuffing out.”

This is bear 435 known as Holly and her cubs that use the trail daily. The sow was on her way to the shore. The man was not following protocol, but decided to continue to walk backward instead of retreating off the trail as instructed jeopardizing the safety not only for himself but for the sow too. If he would have stumbled and fallen it could have spooked the cubs --- upsetting the sow --- turning this into a very dangerous situation. If the sow would have attacked, the sow would have been put down for sure just doing what she does everyday. End of story --- Holly and her cubs made it to the shore --- and this man got his video.

This video is a slap in the face of Katmai National Park and all the Rangers that do an amazing job keeping everyone safe including the bears. Everyone is sent to Bear School immediately getting off the plane. VISITORS are taught, bears have THE RIGHT OF WAY ALWAYS. This person that shared this video showing his total lack of respect for Katmai and the bears. (by the way he's very lucky this was Holly, one of the sweetest well known bears there) He should be made an example for his ignorance and FINED big. This angers me as I know how hard the Rangers work to keep everyone safe. Katmai National Park is a safe place but there are rules for everyone to follow.

You have no evidence of that. And if the guy would have left the trail, he would have endangered himself (and in doing that, the bears). Do not fucking assume anything that you have no proof of.

[@KhanMann66]

Jean Brewer Fine? For hiking in a forest? Fuck outta with that BS.

[@takuansoho5836]

+Jean Brewer You seem like a lot of stupid in just one guy.

[@stevekohut9888]

Everything you say is correct. The guy filming this is in the wrong completely.

[@westmorelandroad]

Thanks for your comment which actually adds something to the debate! However, I think anyone can be forgiven for forgetting that advice in a situation like this. It truly would take serious guts and presence of mind to step off the trail and let the bears come closer, if you seem to be doing a good job of keeping them at a reasonable distance. I guess none of use know how we'd react. Anything that isn't curling into a shivering ball on the ground, or running is to be admired in my opinion!

[@angelwingstn3392]

My heart was beating fast for you. Those Cubs were cute.

[@emily-je8ym]

Up in the wallapines (Kingman) It was snowing, there was a group of elk chilling watching me, suprisingly friendly, then one came up to my car, and we fed it, It was huge and amazing!

[@mewtwo.150]

Fool! You only need to draw a circle :v

[@KingofAces5912]

😃😃😃Yeeeeees!!!

[@MrSpock-sm3dd]

[@bowens9211]

Cringeworthy comment lol. Just desperately wanting attention lol

[@Elmnopen]

Such cute little murderous beasts

[@ryanjhenry2493]

No different than humans!!

[@DotterSvea]

John Henry Except we're not cute.

[@MilatovichFamily]

Actually they don't attack if not provoked and they don't destruy environment and not killing innocent beings unlike humans.

[@TheVeganPoet1]

like humans

[@buckylove6918]

1 fatal bear attack per year in north america

[@ashjogalekar7750]

I think I actually saw this man walking backwards in front of my house today.

[@superso]

amazing wherewithal to film this well, while narrating, while walking backwards, while being examined as a possible dinner by a large mama bear and her hungry cubs

[@DeniseLynnCentralPark]

scary!!!

[@griff1119]

I guess you could say that that was a beary close encounter! Edit: all these puns are taking my BEARdens away, nope that was bad

[@takuansoho5836]

"Close encounters of the bears kind"

[@GRV_93]

Griffin Awesome y'all gay af

[@Rose-js4pr]

Griffin Awesome did you just

[@neverlandhunter6988]

The tension was pawlpable...

[@BigPapaLemon]

Guys these puns are “Un-bear-able”

[@jesusdiedforoursins]

Can’t lie those cubs are cute 😁

[@MaharlikaAWA]

What would've happened if you walked forwards? Would the bears have walked backwards instead?

[@endofanage223]

MaharlikaAWA he would be dead

[@imjustsaying455]

any man willing to walk forward in that situation would most certainly cause the terrified bears to run in the opposite direction at full speed after seeing the immense size of that persons huge balls.

[@PokerFace837]

I'mJust Sayin Lol

[@cudifan793]

Idk same wonder

[@TMMPdumbasses]

I dont think so lol

[@azerohiro]

what if this video is in reverse... *and* it's the bears that are actually walking backwards!?!? FAKE VID!!!

[@itsvox4398]

they just want a big hug

[@yoshshmenge294]

Your encounter reminds me of what Timothy Treadwell once said about bears: “AHHHHH JESUS AHHHHH AHHHH!!!”

[@pu81nk]

That was one of those moments you just wish would end, and end well.

[@MississippiDave]

How did you end up getting out of that situation? Did they finally just go a different direction or did you slip off the path in to the woods and let them pass?

[@AugustHawk]

I agree. I'd like some details. It was tense watching this and a zillion questions popped in my head!

[@Karen-zc8pi]

AugustHawk a zillion!? That must be a lot

[@justpunishingvaginassince1923]

AugustHawk JUST LIKE THE ZILLION ZITS ON YOUR FAT FUCKIN FACE

[@KaonashiKobayashi]

Barry Larkin You're awfully aggressive aren't you.

[@civilialost8008]

Barry Larkin | Sick roast. Now go back to eating your alphabeti Spaghetti.

[@solohoh]

That bear just wanted to get to the lake, you should have stepped off the trail and let them pass.

[@justinbarney6286]

*I'm walking backwards on the trail back to camp* ...because I heard bears can smell fear and I don't want this bear to know that I had just crapped my pants --because there's this 4 ton Mom w/2 cubs coming my way LOL!

[@menandmice]

That mama bear is big! Awesome bear!

[@xiaoquanyang402]

Damn this is soo scary. When I was hiking in Lake placid my entire group stopped when we hear there are bears far ahead of us. Seeing them with cubs which is when they are most dangerous got to be the most nerve wrecking experience ever. Mad respect for your calm and bravery. This could have been your last video: ) Just out of curiosity why didn't you walk to the left or right off the trail? The bears might just wanted to stay on trail and walk pass you.

[@thebananamelon5065]

You bearly survived that

[@LoveuAshraf]

Wow! You are so Brave. Glad you are ok.

[@artphile8873]

Mama bear always checking back, if there is any witnesses
