Grizzle Bear Attack!!! Spoiler alert: he lived to share this video!

Saw this, BA guy!!

Wonder why he wasn't carrying some sort of a pistol in bear country. That's his 1st mistake. He was luckier than good friend of mine that was eaten by a grizzly in the 80's and he had no weapon.

friend of mine owns a hunting and fishing lodge and this attack occurred right on the border of their property and public land. He said the hunter had bear spray and a pistol but they were both in his pack. Bear ripped the guy up pretty badly and is very lucky to be alive. We were at this lodge a month ago and at that time they were seeing a lot of bears and many of them were being aggressive. They advised us not to hike away from the lodge.

this guy is the one I want in a bar fight, very lucky...

Well, he managed to get his bear spray out, but lost his holstered pistol. Hmmm.

It doesn't do a lot of good to carry emergency gear you don't/can't access well.

Good on him for keeping his wits, however.

All I can say is he is lucky !

You could tell that he was still juiced full of adrenaline in the video. Tough guy right there. I wonder if he walked backwards for 3 miles?

There was an article on Google News or CNN this AM... the article said the bear came back a second time while he was walking back and that's when it broke his arm.

The spray and the pistol must be readily accessible. Bear attacks often happen fast. I know it's a movie, but seen the reverent with Leo Decaprio? Crazy bear attack scene. Todd is a very lucky guy, God bless him.

It sounds like he did everything right from what I have seen so far, case of wrong place wrong time.
