She was very smart to pull out her phone and start filming. The cameraman never dies.
Have you seen Grizzly Man?
You stated an obvious contradiction.
@@jeffs6927 He wasn't filming when he was attacked.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂 that’s cold
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.
No..they smelled the fear
@@novajtvif you rewatch you will see the bears are upwind. 🙏🔑✌️🇮🇱
Yes 👏🏽
Great explanation. Thank you. (Common sense.)
I didn't know that. Thank you for the explanation.
The bear was just curious what kind of creature screams like that.
He figured either a new species or just plain rabies.
It’s called a woman. Run for your lives!
Не знаю как медведь ,а я испугался😢
Poor girl had to be terrified
I'd be terrified. I know that bears aren't evil, but it terrifies me to see a sign on a hiking trail warning you about Bears.
Glad that bear and her cub got away safely from that crazy woman.
WHAT omg 😲
I thought this was going to be terrifying. That bear was just like what the hell is wrong with this woman?! 🤣
Yep it was more curious than carnivorous😂
I was thinking the same thing as the bear.
I swear lol
EXACTO, ELLA ESTA INVADIENDO SU TERRITORIO
It always surprises me that people are surprised when they come across a wild animal in their neighborhood or on a local trail. We are as a society are taking their land away from them. I'm very happy that she is safe and did not get harmed.
Bear got home and saw a story online about Bear faces off with crazy human while out taking her cubs for a walk. Lol
She did Exactly what I was warned to do while out hiking if I met a bear.. One day my daughters large dog would not let us go on up the trail. 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.
Doggos protect their pack ❤
That’s because animals are smarter than humans. Just remember what your dog did for you amd your family when he gets old and sick and will need you more than ever, don’t dump him at the shelter or anywhere else like most people
@@aquilescortez8390Dude, did you miss the RIP in her comment? Stop being an insensitive ass.
@@aquilescortez8390she said RIP.. meaning he already passed
@@aquilescortez8390they're not smarter. They just have a sense of smell that warns them of imminent danger
She got lucky that this bear had a chill personality.
And the bear was lucky this happened in California where it's impossible to carry.
@CaliSteve169
You're 💯 right 😆
It's a black bear, not a grizzly. They're really not aggressive or threatening.
Most bears are except polar and sloth.
@@katiegripi thought this is a brown bear
Well this woman got a harsh dose of "Would you rather a Bear or a Man".
What???
Bear: Hello lady, we are trying to find the way to the beach.....
Lady: Raaaahhhhh!
You’ve never seen a bear.
Lol
The bear thinking.... These bastard streamers aren't going to do the same here at the gyms. Get lost with this camera lol
The bears are like. Why is this lady being so loud? Is there someone behind us?
😂
@@Tigerspencerstrawberry hi
Bear probably thought she was crazy 😂 glad she’s alright tho
Lmao fr. The bear was like I heard of these dangerous creatures, I better get me and my kids out of here lol
experts have now shifted their advice from do not appear threatening - to instead appear super-annoying. Bears hate that, evidently.
That's the whole idea, you want to make the Bears think that you were batshit crazy LOL so that they will go away.
the bear though why is this m-o-r-o-n still filming me instead of focusing on walking away
@@ShastaBean With Black bears it's okay to appear annoying, but not with Grizzlies. They don't fool around or get intimidated. This bear and cub seem to be a brown bear though, so I can't say.
The scariest part was at the end... I think I heard a man's voice.
it was me, I was hungry
Yeah but he didn't know how to ROAR like a girl 😮
Yet that's who she ran to at the end. Stay with the bear then and see what happens.
ameriklown
Sheep.
All the Bear wanted was a hug.
😂😂😂😂
A bear hug
What always amazes me the most is that people have the nerve to actually press record. I wouldn’t even be able to put in my passcode
😂😂😂
Yup. Even with Face ID lol
because cameraman never dies, it's a well-known survival technique
I’m pretty sure most people would record. If I die at least there is a video of me showing I tried. Using one hand or two isn’t going to stop a bear from attacking you. The yelling and the whistle is what confused the bear.
Plot twist. The man followed her to harm. The bear came to rescue and fought off the man in the end.
And the bears are like "sorry, but we live here".
Exactly, people go out where they don't belong, get attacked by some poor animal protecting its young from a would be attacker then the animal is hunted down and murdered . Sickening.
@@Tone58 actually where this is filmed the bears are not native to the san gabriel mt range and they were moved there from yosemite, so technically the bears are invading our territory
@@Tone58 Don't say this woman was where she didn't belong - I know this trail - I used to hike this trail when I lived in California - it is a legal, established hiking trail, so she had every right to be there.
@Tone58 Your beliefs are sickening. Animals can't be "murdered" because they aren't human. Fishing isn't murder, and never is cutting down a tree or making a hamburger. People belong wherever they have the ability and desire to go. You don't get to dictate where they go. The world can be dangerous, and people can die in nature. And if a bear murders a human (I bet you suddenly have a problem with the word murder because bears are just animals, lol), it should be destroyed.
@@SalvableRuin You sound like a selfish person who wants to take from nature without caring about the consequences.
She handled that very well, unlike how so many fools are handling their comments here. Kudos to her and glad it worked out well.
If you don't see the irony, then you're the fool.
more luck than handled
She should have been walking back all the time, instead of trying something that was clearly not working, which was using her whistle and yelling ‘rrrooooarr!’. Obviously, a product of the Disney generation.
It worked out well because the bear wanted it to end well
That girl had no saying in the outcome
The bear was in control while the girl was shitting her pants 😎
@@jrviade85 Best comment on here. 👍👍
Woman: *demonic screaming*
Bear: Okay dang.
That mama bear wasn’t even threatening, she was just curious. Keep calm, and walk away.
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
This situation is no joke, the feeling of danger in the wild
Then bring "tools" with you.
Never assume the wild is peacefully welcoming you.
Be prepared or suffer the consequences.
@@SmithWesson90True. In America everywhere you can carry bear spray, a 9mm CCW and mace, carry them.
@@SmithWesson90i always bring my two fists. Even bears are scared of them.
@@abouttime2569.That was pretty funny
not
@@abouttime2569 i usually travel with a Khabib
Wow! Very scary. That bear could have charged her. She is very blessed to be alive. Glad the bear wasn't aggressive at this time. Good job of trying to scare them away!
😊Very ignorant. The bear was just waiting for the girl to leave the territory! Had she just kept walking at a good pace, NOT peeking around the bend to film the bear, the bear would have left!!
If she has cubs( taught to hide while momma deals with crazy woman,)she is waiting for stupid girl to hightail it so she can go back and signal the all clear.
It was not going to charge her.
@@jefish2562 the cubs weren’t hiding too well, they were standing right by the mom.
@@katiegriplmfao!!! It very easily could have, you're so wrong
Thank you for this video, I will train my girlfriend to roar like that.
Lolll.llll
Ok…..but in what context?
Getting away from the bear as fast as can is more important than taking a video from it
You definitely shouldn't turn your back or run from a bear
If you didn't record it... it never happened. Besides, camera man never dies.
I don't care about that sh¡t everyone and everything dies that's a fact u can't deny ever@@fradee2830
If u don't see it u can run away from it but u can just stand there and let it eat u up then@@shootfilmnotguns2023
But it was a camera woman@@fradee2830
Mama Bear is a real thing..protective of her cubs. I would have backed away and not stopped to film..but it ended well for all
fr wtf lol. then she backs away slowly to get footage. gtfo out of there don;t stop and film
She backed away while video recording. I think a "film" camera would be way too heavy to lug around while trail running.
Bear: if I could only get a dollar for every roar that a human yelled at me…
That sound she was making sounded like prey, lol. Just back off instead of hanging around.
Yup she sounded like prey it's actually thought to be why the bear who ate Timothy Treadmill went back for his girlfriend because her screams sounded like a hurt prey animal
How to survive bear encounters:
Black- fight back
Brown- lay down
White- say good night
interesting, I would have said back of for your life in both 3 cases
This woman is no hero. She continued walking in the direction of the bear and her cubs after realizing they were there. Why? So she could post it to instagram for clout as an "influencer." People like this are the reason bears end up being killed by the park services.
The guy she ran into also spotted the bears, but you don't see him filming.
Ive been looking for original video.. cant find it… i think your just repeating what you heard on other posts.. link the original video if its true
Just in case the bear did attack and bury her for a later meal, and later her family reports her missing, someone will eventually find the phone with evidence of what happened to her.
Bear: Go back to your country
The bear was thinking :" what fuck is she screaming? " 😮
That wasn't a roar! That was just "roar!!!" 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That because she's a Trump supporter
I said the same thing...say GRRRR!!!!! or something, but not just a loud, drawn-out "roar" 😂
@@user-bm4ic4kx2wDoesn't even make sense
😂😂😂 right
Amazingly enough, this ladies roars made that mama bear at least think twice. 😂
Very impressive!
Glad she was able to get away.
I agree with you. She did just the right things. She created enough doubt in that Mama Bear's mind that she hesitated about attacking.
@@dianegilbert3676the bear didn't look like she was going to attack. If the bear was downwind, she didn't smell the woman. She did do right.
I was alone and encountered a mama and two cubs in the High Sierra. She was downwind and I came around a switchback where a creek crossing was hidden by brush until right upon it. There she was Getting some water. I backed way up the trail and waited until I saw her following the creek up the mountain.
She is lucky it wasn’t a Grizzly. Black bears are less aggressive in the defense of their cubs.
The bear wanted to use the trail. It was clearly not going to hurt the woman, shouting and whistling did not change the original intent of the bear.
I loved how confused it was 😅.
I understand the feeling. I was chased by a brown bear in Alaska and I swear I have never ran so fast in my life. Jesus must’ve sent angel to carry me because it was crazy.
Smh
Not Jesus, but AI.
What the hell was your useless dog doing?
Yes, Jesus sent angels to help you through.
Amen, thank You, King Jesus
Ask her man or bear.
Bear always

@@Bob31415 Im not one of these feminists, but have had my own run ins with shady men. I can recall a cab driver I had to literally force to pull over to let me out. I can empathize with the women who choose bear. If you've never been put in a fight or flight situation like that then you're just talking the same crap other clueless men are talking, like some talking point trend.
@@Snoopstar420 If that cab driver had been a bear he would have unalived you. But the cab driver man pulled over didn't he? You women are the ones who are clueless. Come on. Try to think. A friggin' *bear* , especially a grizzly. You...are...dead...meat. Some random guy out hiking is more than likely going to ask if you are alright. I know I would.
UA-cam recommended this to me after watching a random video of women choosing a bear over men.
1) There are no grizzly bears in California. This is a black bear, not a brown bear. Species, not color.
2) GET OFF THE TRAIL. THE BEAR WANTS THE TRAIL. GO UP AND LET THE BEARS PASS.
Yeah some people think omg the bear is pursuing me when all it wants to do is use the trail. However mama bear here made a brief charge at the start of the video, looked like she was mildly in protective mode. After that she was pretty relaxed in her demeanor, probably just wanted a clear path to use as you say.
"BeAr oR MaN? - BeAr!!!" - the avg woman when asked
also the avg woman actually who runs into a bear
Why does she stop, I tried to get out of there quickly and calmly as I could instead of waiting on them 🤔
views smh
If you encounter a bear its advised to not make quick movements, slowly back away from the bear until it leaves you alone and do not run as it will chase you.
@@raiford5082but she actually stopped for a while, and she stopped while the bear was out of view. That would have been the best time to pick up some speed and make the distance longer..
Terrifying. Bears don't always show aggression the first 15 minutes. Although they can attack in a split second. The whistle is a good idea, and hopefully, it helped, and she's safely home.
Lol haha the bear is like who fuck is roaring all stupid 🤣
It's a " Karen" in the wild. 😂
The bear was probably curious “who TF is this crazy lady”
Why is she roaring and walking away from the bear? Why is she going towards that dangerous man? I thought they'd choose the bear every time?
Lol. Bruh! Why is her screams be sounding like she's been possessed by like a terradactyl ghost lady while joining a heavy metal rock band on stage with a hint of tin-man steaming from The Wizard of Oz? 😂
😂 I can not with these comments. Why did that make me laugh so hard. The visual your words created.
This trail just like the one in my backyard to Mount Wilson, a comparatively busy trail, and the bear encounter has been reported every so often in the past few months. It is scary
I think this is the Mount Wilson trail in Sierra Madre
Go back to China
Runs from bear to a man. Wow. You can't make this up
I had a loud laugh reading your comment. hahaha
High-pitched sounds are a No-No when encountering a bear. They resemble distress calls and can indicate injury or vulnerability to an aggressive bear triggering an aggressive reaction.
Bear realized it was being filmed ... he knows the laws of physics !
Musta been not that dangerous if she was filming 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Man or bear?
Woman sees bears, fears for her life. At the end of the video, runs to a man.
.....so?
And, ?
@@byronic0967 so your whole argument is shattered, if male Strangers were 99% of the time shady she wouldn'r have run to him. and every women would have done the same
@@valentinlageot4101 What argument?
Pulling out your cellphone is a great survival instinct.
How about instead of filming you get out of there? Mom has her kids and won't play around.
nonsense--go back to bed--cali bears do not attack people
A bear can outrun you. She’s doing what’s recommended, which is making noise. She probably has a head mounted camera automatically filming
She needs the Grams...you know priorities.
@@dethray1000 Maybe not so far, but this was a mother bear with cubs, so it's still way too unpredictable to be absolutely confident that it won't attack.
You shouldn't try to run away from a bear. Not only would it be futile, it could trigger the bear to chase you.
Momma bear looks well fed.
She should’ve started talking to the bear about her feelings and why she’s a vegetarian, and how she’s a strong woman and doesn’t need a man. The bear would’ve run off on it’s own…
those bears are like wtf lady we are just trying to take a nice hike today
I love how everyone says she's crazy, this would be terrifying and she stayed pretty calm while backing away slowly and making noise.
The bear thinks you are calling him to come to you with that whistle lol
That bear is definitely female, she doesn't have gender identity crisis like the animals living down the mountain.
Was that a rape whistle?
@@bobbymoss6160 The woman in the video identifies as a Lion with that roar. Perhaps I shouldnt call her a woman, did I misgender? Whoopsies!
@@trussmonkey5910 It is a survival whistle. It is a very useful thing to have when hiking. The loud whistle can scare off some animals, and it is also a fantastic means of alerting others that you are in distress. Say you slip and fall off a trail and become injured, the sound of that whistle carries far further than your voice can. Really every hiker should carry one.
@@CranberryFo Thanks for the info. The whistle didn't seem effective for deterring the bear. Maybe she should consider some wilderness animal defenses in her hiking loadout. Personally I'm more concerned about cougars. Best to give them a fake name and sneak out in the morning.
I honestly dont understand why she filming 🤷🏿. My generation tell u..... One thing is that a distraction wont help when faced with death...
There is no evidence that she was "filming"
The bear was like jeez calm the fuck down lady my kids are afraid
I LOVE HOW THEY TELL US WHERE THEY ARE ! ! !
Sierra Madre
@danielazayas3776 Thank you. I just got a new puppy and I don't want to be hiking her into bear country. I know that you have to be careful on all trails.
mt wilson trail sierra madre
I used to go on that trial alone a lot but never had this happen. Just lucky.
Is this Mt Wilson Trail? I have come across them a lot in Monrovia but never on Mt Wilson
It looks to me like the Cobb Estate trail that starts at the top of Lake Ave. in Altadena. It goes to Echo mountain.@@yves78
I live in LA County and I'm aware that thousands of Rattlesnakes live here as well. I used to hike on trails and fire roads pretty often but never saw or heard one, except for the day I saw two and heard another while on a two-hour hike. 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.
I haven't been in the mountains for over 20 years, but when I used to go frequently, I've seen mountain lion tracks, bear tracks in the snow and almost stepped on a rattlesnake. Also almost rode over a gigantic rattle snake with a mountain bike. It's good to keep your eyes peeled @@The_DC_Kid
It looks like Altadena.. upper ground, I used to live all the way at the top of canyon crest Rd. Nice place to hike if u are fearless., 😊
Why I used to carry a set of M80 firecrackers,had to use them twice.
Once one of those go off a bear will rum a few miles before stopping,lol.
mm shrapnel
Forest fires kill wildlife
The bear will be too distracted by the presence of the apex predator, out-of-control wildfire, to eat you.
911 operator: Whats your emergency?
Bear: I was walking with my kids down to the mcdonalds dumpster theres a lady over here that is going bat shit insane off her meds or somethin.
Girl you are so brave! I admire you! God bless you
Brave? She had no choice. what you were talking about brave? Lol
yes let's go out the phone and record
@@banderas2000What do you want her to do? Beat it with a selfie stick?
She didn't face off against anything. Why does the media try to portray every dingbat woman as a hero? Nice trail, though.
Haha you are funny bro
whine louder...
You are 💯 right!
Agreed.
You belong to the streets, Dan.
I do understand why she was scared. The trail was very narrow and the mountain is steep. To me, it looked like the mother bear was curious more than anything. She wasn't upset or defending her cubs. And she seemed to want to walk on the trail. Glad the lady was fine. I often see tracks of various animals when I hike in the local mountains. They prefer to walk on the trails as it is easier.
A predator's mood can change from curious to man-eater in the blink of an eye.
@@The_DC_Kid Bears in the San Gabriel mountains see people all the time. They also like to come down into the suburbs and sit in pools and hot tubs. This isn't an area where people are rare. And few bears ever eat people. They attack to protect like other mammals.
Now humans on the other hand - the bears should run far far away
But why the heck do you all hike in mountains like this- if there's all sorts of animals?? I just don't get why you all do this.
The bear was waiting for a donation?
The bear was like why are you screaming I just want to play. 😂
You are hiking in their territory!!
stop--the bears and people in that area co-exist very well--no attacks ever
True
the bears in this mt range are not native, in fact they are from yosemite moved to sierra madre
Its also human territory. We live on the planet too
You're probably living in former bear territory, you hypocrite.
That's a momma bear. Yeild right of way. Let her have the trail path for her and her babies. Get away and as soon as you can get off the trail. She wants to get by. The momma bear was probably wondering what was up with this human. She was probably telling her children to stay back since humans can be unpredictable and crazy.
Good luck it wasn't a man, then it would had been truly scary.
Bear: Typical Karen, she doesn’t know the rules of the trail. Those coming up get the right of way! 🤪
this is a black bear, not a brown bear. brown bears have been extinct in California for over a hundred years.
Why isn’t she trying to date it?
Bear: Okay, jeez. I just wanted to say "Hi".
Bear says " Keep backing up and quit blowing your stupid whistle. This is my mountain".
Lots of bears in that area. They come down into the town and eat out of people's trash cans.
She did the right thing. Don't let a big wild animal like that get close to you. Anything could happen.
All she needed to do was yell' stay tuned for an all new Ally McBeal"
Dear god, if the bear is letting you walk away just KEEP walking away. Don't stand there like an idiot growling and blowing your whistle.
I saw 2 bears at lake Tahoe. I just calmly walked away after they looked up at me. Dogs are much scarier
That encounter will definitely make as if you ran 5miles. Adrenaline crazy.
Where's the other part in the begging where she's actually following the bear towards her cubs?
Bear loved her voice & he wanted to hear more 😅😅
Look closely at the thumbnail…. I think that’s a momma bear & her cub? So it’s a HER.
You do not wanna cross a momma bear & her cub! Very protective! Thank God this woman wasn’t attacked!🤔😳
Mama bear is saying,"You'll never call in an elk with that bugle!"
But wait… I thought women WANTED to be alone in the woods with bears… why she running????
Holy. Good thing she didn’t start running
I used to go hiking at trails all the time...now ill just run the streets
Just move to a country that don't have bears.
It's not the physical injuries I'm afraid of suffering..it's the embarrassment 😂
The bear was probably checking to see if she's O.K
Which trail is this? I'm up there a lot.
It appears like the Cobb Estate trail in Altadena. The trail that leads to Echo Mountain
I ride El Prieto all the time but I go up to Ken Burton. This doesn't look familiar though. The trail is very smooth in this video. A few months ago on the way up, a girl on the way down warned me that she saw a bear on the mountain that morning. So just be prepared. There's gonna be bears up there from time to time. I ride with a bell to hopefully not surprise anyone into attack mode.
@@howdy90 That's what I thought. I've been on that trail quite a few times.
mt wilson trail sierra madre california, i live there
I keep telling my trainer that exercising is dangerous.😂
This bear is like this lady is cray
holding the iphone the whole time? attention seeks do not have a line they won't cross.
Looks like she did all the right things. Glad she is safe. She should carry bear spray also in the future.
No - she shouldn't have been screaming at a grizzly bear who wasn't agitated lmfao. Please don't listen to this person
Remember… Always throw human feces at the bear to ward off an attack. It’s readily available in your skivvies.
And that is why you never hike alone.
Bear was looking around like I ran into a Ceazy Caren all the way out here?
Exemplary behaviour of the woman: start making loud noises, scream and shout, make yourself look bigger and imposing, make your presence felt, while all the time backing out of the place, AND never ever turn around and start running, because for a bear it is a matter of instinct - a bear that sees a creature running away treats it as food and starts chasing it immediately.
💯
Yeah people are criticizing her but she did a pretty good job
Bear 🐻: if I eat it, that thing would be screaming in my stomach! And what's that whistling too! 😂 ain't no way I'm eating you!!
I thought they choose Bear?
Apparently this lady think it's cool to loiter around Mama bear with young cubs...
If she'd turned and run the bear might have effortlessly chased her down. They are surprisingly fast and running only seems to convince them that you need to be chased down. There's ways of trying for the best outcome with a bear and she did everything right. Check it out and see.
I don't think she was "loitering". You can't outrun a bear. But you might be able to out think one. She did a good job. As for me...I would've been eaten ....easily caught while running away.
Her roars were hilarious lol
