Excerpt #1
On Friday, June 11th, 2021, a couple we will refer to as Jennifer and Jake had planned a romantic camping trip together. Jake and Jennifer drove to the parking lot at the Upper Skilak Lake Campground and packed their supplies into their kayaks. They brought with them a very thorough first aid kit, bear spray, and an air horn. They decided they should look outside the tent door and see what it was that was creeping around them.
Just as they peered out of a crack in their tent flap, they could see a huge round bear head come into their view, and it was growing quickly. They realized the bear was charging toward them, and they had nowhere to go. As they retreated from the open tent flap they could feel the overwhelming power of the bear slam into them and press them to the cool ground beneath the tent fabric.
The tent material acted as a trap to them and held them in place for the bear as it took turns attacking Jake, and then Jennifer and Jake once again. Given it was dark, and the campers were covered in tent fabric the bear had no idea what part of its victims it was clawing or biting. But, it didn’t matter as whatever it could get into its mouth was bitten and whatever it could strike with its claws was tattered.
The darkness of the night and the added obstruction of the tent complicated any retreat the campers would try to make. The brown bear was attacking them for a matter of only a few seconds, but it seemed like much longer. By the time the bear left their tent, Jake had severe puncture wounds on his legs and arms. Some of his wounds went so deep into his muscle tissue that his legs were not completely functional. Jennifer was somehow less battered but had several gashes and punctures in her legs and arms as well.
Excerpt #2 Gamboa
On Sunday, May 18th, 2014, A husband and wife, Jacob and Jessica Gamboa, were stationed on Elmendorf and decided to go to the trail system on the north part of the base for a run together. Jacob was assigned to Elmendorf to the 4th Infantry Brigade Airborne Combat Team, in the 25th Infantry Division. Jessica rounded a brushy and blind corner in the trail and glanced up to see a brown bear cub just off the trail she was traveling.
Jessica could see a huge sow brown bear galloping toward her.
As the sow approached her Jessica put her hands out in front of her as a sign of submission to the sow. She then turned her back slightly toward the bear just before being shoved by both of the sow’s paws onto her face.
Jessica knew she couldn’t possibly fight off this bear and had hoped that playing dead would end this confrontation before too much damage was done to her. The sow straddled her as she lay on the ground bit into her buttocks and lifted Jessica completely off the ground. While being carried, Jessica had fleeting thoughts of meeting her death and longed to see her son. She was carried about ten feet across the trail toward where the cubs were located.
Excerpt #3 Matthew Sutton
Sutton suddenly heard something moving toward him through the dense brush. Whatever it was began to pick up its speed as it approached him. Only about thirty yards from Sutton emerged a young brown bear at full gallop and closing on him fast.
Sutton estimates to be one second, the bear had closed the distance between itself and the hunter. Sutton was hoping it was just an alarmed bear demonstrating its power with a bluff charge. By the time the bear emerged from the brush he knew it wasn’t bluffing. Its eyes were fixed on Sutton and at only a few yards the bear leapt through the air, with its paws outstretched and its mouth wide open.
Just before the bear impacted him, Sutton turned away slightly. The bear slammed into him and drove him into the ground. An immense pressure on the back of his neck, drove pain streaking through his body. He felt his feet leave the ground as the 250 pound juvenile brown bear lifted him completely off the ground as it stood to full height.
Sutton’s mind was racing as he flailed his arms and legs as a reaction to the terror and pain. The brown bear tossed its head back and forth, beating Sutton on the branches of plants near them. His body was contorted and bent in painful ways, just before his survival training kicked in.
Forcing himself to go limp and stop resisting the attack, Sutton was driven into the ground face first by the bear. He could feel the pressure of a massive bear paw in the middle of his back, pushing the air from his lungs, as the bear raked him repeatedly with its other paw.

That's why this channel is so important you also educate people about bears. Thank you

[@jeannemarcinek4575]

wondering with all these types of stories that people read, why are people still going out without bear spray, horn, whistle, or a gun?

[@nancyhamby4035]

Because the right ppl aren't reading these stories

[@louisegoins7630]

Many people are unaware of these attacks. I share on social media as suggested by creator of these videos hoping more people become aware. Many people think if it is a dangerous place that people wouldn't be allowed to be there, especially not stay overnight.

[@stevenfunderburg1623]

@@louisegoins7630 If people enter a bear habitat with the intent of recreation, then it's unlikely their mentality can be swayed by telling them they might actually be attacked.

[@louisegoins7630]

I really dislike hearing that the one guy left his wife alone in the woods for any reason. I would never forgive myself for being such a selfish individual. His run was more important than his wife? Yeah, that burns me and shows he has no forethought.

[@saralackey3435]

Since Jessica didn't know the bears were nearby until it was too late, an attack was inevitable.

[@Codehead3]

They didn’t use their air horn nor their bear spray, so how did their preparations help them fend off the attack???

[@leahwhiteley5164]

Sounds like Jessica married the wrong guy. She should have married the fisherman.😂

[@chris2kgreat]

I know you are joking, but other people i am sure are seriously thinking this and this comment highlights the unfair standards men are held to. If the man was the one falling behind and bear attacked him and a woman saved him, nobody would say that the guy "married the wrong woman"

[@vickiebailey5261]

@@chris2kgreat THE REMARK ABOUT WHO MARRIED WHO IS STUPID. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WOMAN BEING ATTACKED. IF HER HUSBAND HAD STAYED WITH HER, ONE OR BOTH OF THEM PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

[@leahwhiteley5164]

I carry quick clot in ALL my medical bags. They make different types from powder to a qauze impregnated product to fill a hole. This product is used on the battlefield to stop major bleeds. It works. If you use it always tell Paramedics or the hospital so they know. Especially the gauze so they remove it. It saves lives. Keep it in your car bag for accidents. It has an expiration date so always check it and replace expired packs. To everyone who goes to a gun range. You should also carry this and a tourniquet and a chest seal. If you get shot by accident in the wrong place you will bleed out in 2 minutes. No ambulance is that fast. You need to carry the right stuff in your range bag. Also regular bandages, too. My range buddy and I have treated at least 4 people who had cuts from having their hands up to high on a auto and getting sliced by the slide. Also, I wasn't there, but a guy caught a ricochet in the shoulder. Stay frosty my friends.

[@HogMan2022]

Awesome episode, as usual, Sir!

Just returned from camping in Yellowstone 4 days - on the 4th day I saw my first bear - about 300 yards away, sub adult grizzly. Beautiful animal but damn I’m glad it kept its distance.

[@stevenbrown6277]

Great stories and narration. Thanks.

As usual great stories my friend 👍💯👊

[@lynnecarter7628]

Having lived in bear country, I always made a bit of noise when hiking or walking. You don't want to surprise a bear. Keeping bear spray in hand in imperative, and knowing how and when to use it

Dang! Missed this one live having a yard sale this weekend but watching now!

[@mikewilliams7218]

Last bow season I didn't hunt one morning deciding instead to help my daughter put out yard sale items in the front yard. Trail camera 50 yards behind the house sent me a cell picture of a big 9pt. 10 yards from where I sit. 😂

I live in Minnesota. I know there are bears in the Northern part of the state and occasional black bear is spotted in the West Central part of where I live, I have a serious freak out when our neighbors cows manage to escape and eat the flowers in my front yard, I cannot imagine the freak out If I ever spot a bear.

Hello SBA family 😊👋

[@nancym.1700]

I don't see the specific videos you mentioned would be linked below. Do we have to search through all of the videos to find them?

[@sgreen0000]

I’m so happy that I hiked everywhere that you mentioned except Alaska and I didn’t know anything about bears so I never carried bear spray or a weapon. Thankfully, I didn’t encounter a bear anywhere I went. 👏👏👏👏🐻❤️👍 I used to look for bears through scat, etc.😬

[@valeskavictoria1278]

"You went into battle with an unproven rifle?"

[@metalmamasue3680]

Great stories Addicus, I hope you can join us soon in the chat 😊👋 All were definitely very scary. It's just wild to think of a bear attacking you. It must be terrifying for sure. I'm glad when people are prepared and make it and in the best stories, the bears were just being bears and don't have to be put down. The first one where the bear attacked the people unprovoked in the tent is sketchy, Idk if that bear was just defending it's territory and/or food source but still it's a dangerous bear imho. I definitely need some quick clot gauze to add to my supplies and first aid kit.

[@VP-nz6ok]

What happened to the horse?

[@stetsonhorton5332]

Jessica didn’t have much of an option on getting attacked, it’s one of those situations where you walk in say oh shit this is gonna hurt and get ready for the pain I’m glad she made it out she had good luck and the good lord on her side

[@jessepitt]

What an odd comment section today 🤨

[@chris2kgreat]

Yup lol

[@truly3743]

Great stories! Why do people sleep in tents in bear country? And on that polar bear expedition they should have proper sleep quarters built so they can sleep at night without fear or worry and then no one has to stay up during the night keeping watch and freezing.

[@denisem270]

3 harrowing 🐻🐻🐻 attacks indeed!!! Very interesting storys and storytelling Addicus ❤❤❤ Have a good night 🌉

I've been watching these and trying to include bears in my lucid dreams. Finally! Last night I dreamed about black bears at the door of a strange little cabin. I was working on driving them off and someone I knew 30 years ago shot it with an arrow. I was sad to see it get hurt. I told him off for it.
