The one guy said "you're kind of rooting for the guy on the kayak to get away?" Kind of ?
Richard Lee lol
And he asks it as a question. What a weirdo
Yeah; it speaks volumes of that guy! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
When ur in a river it’s kind of all you can do
“Your kinda rooting for the guy”... yeah your rooting for the guy, definitely don’t want the bear to win. Crazy kanooks
Lol I was rooting for the bear.... Get him! Go go go!!!!
I'm rooting for "you're".
@@minoozolala Since you're correcting him, it's *"you're."* not "you're". --> (quotation marks go on the outside of the period).
@@moniquemonicat that's the problem with too much "education" We worry about dotting the "I's"n crossing the "t's" but sometimes missing the point altogether No?
Made my day.
Looks more like a bear crossing the river.
No, the bear was after the kayaker, they cross at a different pace. That bear was on a mission. The kayaker is lucky the river was wide in that area and deep enough where he was forcing the bear to swim to reach him.
@@paulhomsy2751 oh the ignorance.....they even said in the video there was an elk kill on the other side.
@@Kriptoker That's according to the random guy who recorded the video but if you'd rather be gullible and believe everything you hear instead of using your eyes and a dash of common sense, by all means.
Bear crossing the river
@@Kriptoker "oh the ignorance." Just your statement alone shows your ignorance. You brought up the "elk", well the bear slowed down his pace considerably after he closed-in on the other side of the river and was closer than the Kayaker was. So he clearly thought the Kayaker was a threat to this food!
According to the bear, it was all a misunderstanding, as it was only protecting its dead elk carcass that the kayaker seemed to want to eat. "You always think it's all about you," said Smokey.
Exactly! Thank you for telling my side of the story.
Placing your news logo over the action shot is poor editing and should be redone.
Ya see that happen a lot in news reports when they block the action they are reporting on or when there are subtitles used for international reporting.
Yeah. That was high school production level. Or maybe they think the logo is the most important part of the story.
We all read their logo... maybe it was by design
Could not agree more, really annoying!!
Screwballs right? Then the video cuts off just before the raft they are filming from, drifts towards the bear. Did the bear cross to the other side? Did the bear 180 back to shore. Did it maul the raft. We just won't ever know.
Dead Elk makes more sense than going after a kayaker.
Does it?
Well, if the Griz was protecting his food source (Elk) then this Kayaker may have indeed been in the bears sights.
@@darcyperkins7041 Well sure,...the bear observes the kayak continuing down river (not a threat to mess with the bears food source any longer) thus, the bear continues to where the dead Elk is.
0:42 “Barely sees the bear coming” good unintentional pun
What does it mean?
Bears know how to cut an angle, but he didn't. I'm thinking he was crossing the river.
Y
That bear was not interested in the kayaker at all!!
he just charged him are you kidding lol
“Youre kind of rooting for the guy in the kayak” ? Ya, unless youre a psycho and want to see a dude get eatin alive, lol
He said. Rooting for him as in "get away"
Hes rooting for him to get away
@@azazel1502 i understood, its funny because he began with “ kind of”
" 'Barely' sees the bear coming...."
🤣🤣
Bear was not attacking the kayak. Seen this dozens of times in Alaskan river fishing. Nothing unusual at all
"Youre **kind of** rooting for the kayaker" ??? Just kind of!!??
Dan G 😂
If he had been its intended target, he wouldn't live.
Breaking News! Nothing really happened here. Still, bills must be paid.
tell that to the guy in the kayak.
@@canucklehead4463 You mean the guy in the way of the Bear crossing the river?
😂😂😂😂
When he finally heard the word bear his paddles took off like a airplane propeller 🤣🤣
Lol, a bear defending its kill will kill a human who's too close to it. That's one of the few main reasons for fatal attacks from bears...
373axle FOOD is their everything,anyone's,
Sarah MacDonald is a very very beautiful, drop dead gorgeous woman!
Stop Simping
The frigging bear is swimming across the river. All he has to do is get out of his direction of travel.Stop the drama already
That's actually pretty crazy. That guy would have been killed 100%. The bear looked like it was about 15 feet away max and they are FAST.
If the bear wanted the bear could easily get the boat.
Reporter is a babe!
That's nothing new... All reporters are babes now for the most part... I like Marcia Macmillan
they need good looking reporters to feed people all the propaganda
Best part of the video
And the newscaster looks really fem.
Just my words :)
It seems in Grizzly bear attacks and encounters, or even wild animal attacks and encounters, they always say "this is so rare, it just never happens here." Meanwhile thousands of bear and wild animal attack accounts and videos abound!
A grizzly bear IS a wild animal.
Barely sees the bear... I see what you did there. Very clever news lady, very clever lol
Tourists are great, they keep feeding the wildlife one way or another
I've had more bear encounters in the very short time I lived in Squamish, than ANYWHERE else
"Barely sees the Bear coming." I see what you did there news lady.
😅
Nope.
I love Sarah! If only we could only give her a bear hug!
Odd how the locals and the news reporters downplay the risks involved. Bears are wild animals, which are carnivorous, territorial, predatory, and can be unpredictable. Everyone going in or near their natural habitats should be fully versed in expert advice, precautions, and responses. Take all encounters seriously, and keep maximum distance. Be safe! 😁👍
I can't stop watching bear stalking videos
Putin in a grizzly bear suit.
Billy Smith. 😂
Putins probably somewhere in the distance riding bareback on a swimming bears back. All while holding his rifle across his lap like the gangster he is.
Looks like the bear is just crossing the river. And if there was a dead elk on the other side, as indicated in the commentary, I'm sure the bear was more interested in the dead elk than the kayaker.
Clickbait, nothing more than clickbait.
Not ONE "JUST SHOOT IT" comment, but this bear was exercising his "Right" to bear arms.....on his own property. Go Canada.
👍🇨🇦
Glad he didn’t bear his teeth..
You kind of rooting for the guy in the kayak.. right, kind of ...
Kui Pan 😂 😂
"Barely sees the bear coming". This report needed more bear puns and/or a bear suit reenactment.
Ice Slushi Indeed. One lousy pun and no re-enactment-- and they call themselves journalists!
That reporter is just gorgeous
most reporters are
"never seen before and likely never seen again"?? uh, you're in BC and in Howe Sound waters; you going to see LOTS OF THIS again.
the Squamish Hospital is close by. Cougars, bobcat, and bear are often seen within sight of the Emergency Entrance!!! (I did the reno before the 2010 Winter Olympics there. January was hilarious and full of livestock; freezing snow cover brought the cats into the hospital and town grounds looking for meece. Bears were fast asleep.
No kidding ! I came face to face with a Cougar in North Van and survived! My encounter made the news too !
He bearly made it out of that one.
*bans Griz hunting in B.C. then is surprised and terrified when encounted by a griz. This is and will be a frequent event in B.C. so long as ethical management of these predators, is not sought out. (hunting)
Rata 4U
This is NOT "their home" its OUR home.. Maybe you just are not one of US
Why did the bear cross the river.
To get to the other side.
I appreciate that they logically try to deduct why the bear acted as it did instead of just saying "ahhhh! it's a monster, put it down!"
I was rooting for dead Elk
I had NO idea bears were capable of doing things like this. So scary.
You didn’t know a bear could swim…?
Wait until you see the tree climbing abilities, amazing
People are in love with wild animals until the ani animals come against u .
Thank God the made hunting them illegal! This will happen more often!!
After watching them speak I kind of want them to be eatin
It could have been Squeamish. LOL! Get it, Squeamish? Just forget it!
Bears don't bite, neither do sharks🤦♂️
It is stupid like playing Russian roulette without having a gun in Bear territory play stupid games Win stupid prizes if anybody disagrees please reply
The grizzly bear 🐻 wanted a hug!
Just out of curiosity. Have you ever encountered any bear? While hiking or being out in the bush.
I live in West Vancouver. The greater Vancouver area has about 2.5m residents. Squamish is 47 minutes away (56km). And that’s a Grizzly Bear ... welcome to Canada!
1:05, has Kawhi Leonard moved to Squamish ? He is going to play for Squamish next season?
I can't bear to watch anymore of this, im terrified!
Kayaker gets squeamish in Squamish. Sorry, I couldn’t resist…
What a joke. . That bear wasnt even close or going in his direction 😂😂😂
Looks like the bear was just crossing the river. But you want to think he was attacking the kayaker, well bless your heart.
exactly
Why did the bear cross the river? To eat the guy in the kayak!
That kayaker is lucky the water got as deep as it did near him, he would've been toast!
Honestly I think he was trying to just cross the river
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Uilani Rivera if he was after the kayak this would have turned out very different
News flash: Bear crosses river near human
Rooting for the bear.
If I had a dead elk on the other side of the river I would have done the exact same thing
Bear thought the humans may take his food hahaha!!!
When you go where they live your looking for trouble. Hellooooo
This bear is obviously trying to get attention. It saw the camera crew and a chance to make a name for itself.
Meditation ad before a bear swinging across the water to kill a kayaker
is everyone in squamish stoned?;)
yup. including the bears.
What did he leave behind in his kayak when he got out?
Just goes to show how unpredictable wild animals can be. Whether or not the bear is just crossing the river or not, this is a grizzly bear, if and when it is hungry it will go after anything for a meal.
🤢😭
“Had barely seen the bear”
Rare? Just search bear encounters on UA-cam
Looked like the bear was just crossing the river to me. The Kayaker just happened to be near by.
10 second footage became over 2 min talking of nonsense
Forget the kayaker and the bear. That lady reporter was smokin hot.
It's a sin to look other people's women!But,if you do it from thousands of miles away,it's not a big one...Nice gal!
At least most Americans in the USA have the option to carry a firearm for self Defense against Apex Predators. Something Canadian's inside Canada generally do not have!
Squamish reporter woman is en fuego 🔥
Stay tuned for soiled underwear spotted floating down the river near Squamish B.C.
and he didnt move, very smart lol
Interesting, that this will probably never be seen or has never been seen by humans before🤔
Except I was scrolling through bear encounter videos
Sorta looks like the bear was just running to build up speed to swim across the fast moving water and the current carried him close to the kayaker. That or the bear though the kayaker was also going for the dead elf and charged to ward him off.
I love how the one resident says. It’s something that is unlikely to happen again but yet “you have to expect that when you live in a place like Squamish”
Wait until they spot the local sasquatch..pissing in pants will be expected.
i was rooting for you Mr Bear. Get 'em Boy ! Better gore & luck next time with these fattened noisy invasive "wildlife tourists"
I thought bears only ate honey
OVERBLOWN FOOTAGE ... ---------> No need to get squeamish in Squamish! Then again... THE KAYAKER COULD HAVE BECOME AN ESKIMO ROLL! Alas, the bear was out for a bigger tastier carcass.
Hello reporter. 😉
Squamish, B.C. feels like a fun town to get drunk in.
The Kayaker's undies were Squamish after that
Jack Bauer was never scared.
Sarah Macdonald you are pretty beautiful!
The bear is a Russian bot
'Kind of' rooting for the guy in the kayak??
I thought the same thing. “Kind of”?
no place for the squeamish in squamish
Yeah don't mess with the bears food supply they can swim they can climb and they can maul you to death.
AND AS USUAL the news has to throw a deceiving comment in!!!
This bear was clearly just after the kayaker, why was he on the other side of his food source, well you know the cliche’ when your the hammer everything looks like a nail? If you’re a grizzly everything looks like a salmon!!
Straight outta squampton
Well, thanks for the TV-manufactured NON-Encounter. Nobody lost "face". Journalism points....
It's crazy how we always make excuses for wild predatory animals. I mean, if you're out in wild, you become part of the menu. It shouldn't be taken lightly. If that one person didn't know how to whistle loud it'd be a different story.
Bear and "Apex predator" don't belong in the same sentence... because they aren't apex predators. They're opportunistic predators. They eat vegetation far more than they eat meat, and they eat carrion (already dead animals) more than they predate animals themselves.
So no... bears aren't apex predators.
The very second you start thinking your safe just cause the bear did attack.. this time... your putting yourself and those, your responsible for .. & around you in danger.
This bear is a Jim Morrison fan, was breaking thru to the other side.
Everybody wants go be centre of attention. It's the kayaker's 15mins of fame! The bear was just crossing the river minding his own business
