    I feel like I should put this here as everyone seems to have a problem with the whistle. This isn't a "rape whistle". It is a survival whistle. Some animals are scared off by the whistle, some won't be. Each animal is different there, but that's not the only purpose of the whistle. The sound of the whistle carries a lot better than your voice does, and is unmistakeable as to what it is. It effectively alerts other people that you are in distress. Say you slip off a trail and become injured, a survival whistle is a great aid in helping people locate you, and is far easier on your throat than trying to constantly shout at the top of your lungs; something that will quickly tire you out.
    Even in this video, another hiker arrives right at the end, who no doubt heard her whistle and probably picked up his pace to find out who was in distress ahead of him. Nobody ever claims it's a miracle fix; it should not be your only defense against wildlife. But it is a useful tool that every hiker should carry.

He kept jumping up on my husband and pushing him backwards. I suggested we turn back and go home, which we did. Later on the news it was reported that a bear had seen right where we had turned around. Bless you Ralphie rip.

There she was Getting some water. I backed way up the trail and waited until I saw her following the creek up the mountain.

Made we wonder how many times I was within a few feet of one but I just didn't notice. One of Mountain Lions' favorite hunting tactics is to wait in the undergrowth near a game trail (or ANY sort of path or road) and suddenly spring out and grab an animal or human. Never saw one of those, either, but I wonder how many saw ME. If they're hungry enough they have NO fear once they decide to go for a kill.

      ..."Much less dangerous than a brown bear..." ARE YOU KIDDING?!! Do some research before spouting off and pretending to be a bear expert. Black bears are deadly dangerous! They not only will maul you, they will be happy to EAT YOU ALIVE! Brown bears will maul you until they're convinced you no longer pose a threat. If being attacked by a brown bear, interlock your fingers around the back of your neck while laying face down and playing dead. You have better odds of surviving in that horrible situation than if a black bear gets a hold of you... They are more likely to treat you as a special dinner treat.
      Best advice... When in bear country, carry a large caliber firearm... It's much more effective than a whistle, or little bells sewn to your jacket, or bear spray. In lieu of a firearm, consider bringing along someone that you know you can outrun😊

      Never turn your back and walk away back away slowly and still face the bear you should be loud not screaming because this can remind them of a small hurt animal and trigger prey drive speak loudly to them. This was a mother and a cub getting any closer could have put her into defensive mode sows with cubs are very protective and actually one of the most dangerous types of bear encounter is a sow with cubs backing away is the best move but if they charge you should stay still be as loud as you can make yourself big and hope it's a bluff charge and you're not becoming dinner hopefully this woman had bear spray too

      In the beginning of the video, you can see the mama bear charging at her. That was not a calm bear, she was ready to go into attack mode to protect her cubs. The girl did the right thing by yelling and slowly walking backwards. It was what stopped the bear's attack mode and confused it, because she became unsure whether or not the human was stronger than her.

    She did so well out there and kept calm enough to follow the advice - not to turn your back to the predator/run and to make noise so the animal questions the risks/energy needed re an attack. Predators want efficient kills and this one also had cubs so was going to be even more cautious about instigating an uncertain attack. This lady created that uncertainty. I honestly don't know how people in the States cope with large wildlife so nearby - I think I'd be running in groups only, but that's just me!
