"Bear, why are you eating my kayak? Stop it bear. Bear? Bear? Why are you breaking my kayak, Bear? Please stop that, Bear. I'll pepper-spray you, Bear. Come back, Bear."

I sort of feel sorry for that woman, who obviously was in a state of panic, apparently being stranded without that kayak. At the same time, her attempts at communicating with Bear, going as far as trying to guilt-trip him, suggest that the woman might have taken Disney animated movies a little too literally.

Plus pepper-spraying wildlife? I'm glad Bear ate her kayak.

Is that a grown up woman? Her voice and demeanor are more fitting of a 10-year old girl.

I bet she's called Barbara.

As it turns out she's called Mary. Never mind.

Love the Winnie Pooh, that's about the right level of Russian for me atm.

Mary in the first video was obviously panicked, but maaaan. His name is not "Bear" and he'd made an executive decision regarding the kayak.

Bears should learn the language if they want to live here. If not, they should fuck off back to Bearistan, or wherever they come from.

California Republic?

Pepper spraying bears is the way to go, this one just happened to be pretty pesky. She was also lucky it was a black bear, Alaska is grizzly territory.

Other nautical bears, here's Petzi eating his favorite snack, when he's not sailing on his barge:

I grew up with that one:
In retrospect it looks completely terrible doesn't it? No wonder I am so messed up.

That sounds like a pretty sound move, actually. It will likely put the Bear off without doing it any long term damage. Doing nothing is not really an option if the Bear comes at her, as injury and death to her are highly likely. Threatening to pepper spray it doesn't really achieve a lot, though, which is sort of the point of the opening post, I guess.

That programme a few years back about the guy who went to live with the bears in Alaska was quite sad. In his video diary he was chastising a massive Grizzly for looking at him in a threatening manner.
All they found of him was his gnawed forearm with wristwatch still attached. He managed to persuade his girlfriend to go too.
She got eaten also. There's audio where you can hear her trying to hit the bear eating her boyfriend with a frying pan.

I was living in rural Alaska at the time. Props to the Grizzly Man for his morals and all, but shoulda left the beast the hell alone.

linus is right, of course. Over here, where running into a bear isn't uncommon in the wilderness, 'bear spray' (sold in most outdoors stores) is what you want hanging on your hip. We wear bear bells when we go hiking in the deep woods. You want them to know you're coming so they can fuck off, which they do. Surprising them isn't recommended.

So Canadians consider they have a right to bear bells and bear spray?

Is the use of pepper spray an exercising of the right to bear weapons? (There's a joke in there somewhere, if you can unravel it...)

Timothy Treadwell - that was a bizarre story, indeed. That guy genuinely believed that he could communicate with bears and that, by living among them, his ursine friends would start to recognise him and, uh, not eat him. He was wrong. He was had for dinner.

Such was his deference to the favoured beast that one of his last sentences to his girlfriend was, apparently: "Stay back while I'm being killed!" (Sadly, she didn't.)

Baloo was my first love, and is still my ideal man.

He's not that lazy, he just isn't into work for work's sake. Great dancer, and he'd love the Nutribullet.

She had indeed. Great minds, and all that - some slipping more than others...
