No. Never thought could outclimb a bear.
TIL bears can run up trees.
If you want to be impressed, leave a nickel up there and tell a kike about it.
Well placed comment,lol funny.
Jesus h christ I laughed out loud on that comment. That was priceless or worth a nickel to a jew..nice work
Bears can run, swim, and climb faster than you. Which is why if a bear decides to attack you the only thing you can do is "play dead" which means you're going to get clawed, bitten (crushed) and you're going to be in a severe amount of pain. The only thing you can hope for is to pass out and pray the bear goes away before you come too and startle it into thinking you're a threat again.
Or it eats you like grizzly bear man was eaten.. and again hope you don't wake up.. or like the girl who had two cubs come and eat her alive while on the phone with her mom. Insane shit nature is
Yep. We can't keep fooling ourselves either. Human beings are just another part of nature. Everything here ...from microbes to the sperm whales (and everything in between) are all in this "game" of survival supremacy.
That game doesn't ever leave us . Any of us.
They tell you to play dead with grizz cause once they think youre dead theyll likely fuck off. Attacks are usually them just being assholes. "They" (state wildlife departments etc) tell you to fight back against black bears. Unlike grizz, the majority of fatal black bear attacks, like over 90%, are predatory in nature, and over 90% of those are boars. Playing dead is useless if its attacking you for the purpose of eating you. Youre just making yourself an easy meal.
You are correct.
It's not the only thing you can do, nor is playing dead the recommended first option. I was taught to stand ground, make lots of noise, look big / intimidating and strike at them (ideally with a blunt object or weapon) when/if they come at you as last resort.
...
i thought you stripped down to your underwear, screamed at the top of your voice, and launched at them swinging fists....
or maybe that was just drop bears.
either way no one ever survives a dropbear attack so im not sure thats real.
Ideally with a gun
Near Jackson Hole Wyoming, there's a sign commemorating a man who won an unarmed fight with a bear. There's always a chance you will be lucky, albeit a small one.
Watched a video a couple days ago of a mama grizzly and two cubs walking at a slightly faster pace than the idiot filming himself being stalked. No idea how that one ended, but the video made it to the net, so at least his phone survived.
I saw that. That guy was not hurt. Bear attacks happen when they're hungry, and/or you step onto their territory.
now get down again smartarse
I don't think giant fat grizzlies can climb like that.. also I'd rather be 30 feet up in a tree and we both fall and maybe it gets hurt or I land on it. I would climb up as soon as I saw it break off a branch and try to defend myself.. I mean not good odds either way but maybe poke an eye out jam the stick down its mouth?
I ran into that shit hiking in Oregon, right near where I wanted to set up camp. Ended up skipping that spot and hiked through with 22 miles on that segment.
The bigger fear is trying to figure out if it was small enough to near mama bear, or big enough to be on its own (and foolish enough to do something stupid).
A friend of mine died when hunting Elk in the BC Kootenay mountains by two Grizzlies. He was torn up but managed to crawl under a tree and bled to death. His hunting buddy was half eaten. He was struck so hard and fast his rifle was driven into the snow and he was planted face first. Apparently the Grizzlies hear a shot there they know an Elk has been shot and run to it, not away. They had to shoot both bears the next day as they would not leave the Elk that had bern shot even with a helicopter over them. I had nightmares for weeks afterwards. He had two small kids and was a very nice guy. Don't fuck with bears.
No, I just need to put climb faster than my friend.
But being in a tree is safer than being on the ground. When the furry fucker is climbing up he can only use his mouth to attack you.
