That's one of the reasons I would never go camping. How can you protect yourself in the tent while sleeping? Or even if you're awake. There's no warning. I heard someone say that you aren't allowed to carry a gun in a Canadian national park (?).
Its a shame. I live in northern Canada, and a bear attack is something you hope doesn't happen. Something like driving and hope you don't get hit by a drunk driver.

They would have lived if they had a firearm as last resort to protect themselves. Bear spray can deter bears but if you were being attacked at that point you need that last resort.
I don't understand how the family said they were well prepared but didn't have a firearm. If Canada doesn't allow firearms with no exceptions to campers then it's best not to go into the bears habitat.
Millions do every year without incident. We take risks everyday just driving on the roads and highways and just walking on the streets. The place where you live, wherever that may be, was once bear habitat at some time in the past.

A gun would not necessarily done anything. The problem was this is a really bad time of year to go out when the wildlife is getting ready to hibernate.

Stop blaming the dog. Authorities believe they were attack while inside their tent. The relative said they were probably inside reading with the dog by their side. I bet the dog fought that bear as best it could. It may have even given them time to get out the bear spray and/or send the SOS out.
Their deaths were tragic, as they were only seeking an adventurous journey. It was different with the bear attack which killed Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend Amy Hugenard. Timothy credited himself with converting bears to friends, and his ego and arrogance in defying the forest rangers led to his getting them both savaged to death.
Was the bear remembered as staying in its own habitat, minding it's own business, doing what bears do, rather going into the human's habitat? The bear and dog were the innocent victims in this. The humans made the decisions that lead to all of them being dead.

My heart goes out to the couple's family, and their brave Border Collie, too. This makes me nervous about going backcountry backpacking, given the entire canister of bear spray did nothing to the grizzly. I also disagree that attacks like this will continue to be rare.

They were experienced back-country hikers doing what they loved. Everything anybody ever does in life involves some element of risk. Condolences to the families and friends.
Very sad. The bear reportedly was a older female who was a Rogue bear - not seen or collared in that area before, underweight. However. Perhaps bear bangers or flares might’ve changed this outcome? Maybe not.. maybe a poor decision to go into back country pre hibernation when bears are seeking to fill up and fatten up as much as possible, after a very hot and dry summer with poor berry production. I’m sorry for the family. ❤
My deepest sympathies 🙏❤️ they did everything they could to survive. A skinny grizzly is just focused on surviving too. It's just unfortunate all around.
@@spencer8218the mistake was obviously being unarmed in bear country. Common sense. Bear spray will always be ineffective at deterring a truly starving animal.

@pacman3556 yes, national parks you are never allowed, but you CAN carry firearms in many provincial parks during the lawful hunting season. Not all, but many of them. There's a cdn government list you can find the information on with a quick search. I keep the PDF on my phone. I also live in BC, which probably has the most provincial parks with authorized hunting/carrying. Every province is different.
Having followed this Story. I'm Very Deeply Saddened by How it occurred. But Very grateful to of heard all the Explanation's. Again I Send My Condolences too Thier Families. May they forever Rest in Peaceful Bliss. TKS.
You will not carry a gun in the city. That is the law. Under the Firearms Act, you can only carry a gun in the wilderness if you intend to hunt with it. You will not "screw the law."
You always take a risk when traveling through bear country. They said an old skinny bear got them. The bear was desperate for food. He probably couldn’t catch anything else to eat and was starving. Sad ending all around. Condolences to the grieving family.
Haha when a grizzly attacks you at night in a tent, if you managed to get the gun you would probably hit everything but the bear, and so what if you did? Wouldn’t stop it from ripping you apart. It’s not a movie, Dirty Harry.
I believe that wild spaces need to be maintained. If these kinds of attacks continue because of timing more than anything, then limit access during those times. If it is population, then allow controlled hunting with either special tag by lottery or auction.
Safety with Bears has everything to do with the business end of a rifle.
Remember in the wild humans are part of the food chain.

If they had been allowed to take a rifle for animal defense, they would still be alive.
Don't be so sure about that. It was a tragedy what happened to this couple. One must know the circumstances in order to make that assumption.
Having followed this Story. I'm Very Deeply Saddened by How it occurred. But Very grateful to of heard all the Explanation's. Again I Send My Condolences too Thier Families. May they forever Rest in Peaceful Bliss. TKS.
Carry a gun, screw the law, everyone has a right to protect himself.
Not in Canada. Only criminals get that right.
I have been conceal carrying for a long time.
Always pack in the wilderness
Yes, in the states@@lattakia3812
You will not carry a gun in the city. That is the law. Under the Firearms Act, you can only carry a gun in the wilderness if you intend to hunt with it. You will not "screw the law."
Everybody below says it's "sad". It was human foolishness.
yup 100%
Why would you sleep in a paper thin tent in BEAR COUNTRY? How can you say “they did everything right?”
I am confused by that as well..
You always take a risk when traveling through bear country. They said an old skinny bear got them. The bear was desperate for food. He probably couldn’t catch anything else to eat and was starving. Sad ending all around. Condolences to the grieving family.
If they were so perfectly prepared, then there is no such thing as bear safety.
You Canadian?
Condolences to the families.
What a terrible way to go out.
Let campers carry pistols.
Haha when a grizzly attacks you at night in a tent, if you managed to get the gun you would probably hit everything but the bear, and so what if you did? Wouldn’t stop it from ripping you apart. It’s not a movie, Dirty Harry.
Grizz will still attack after 12g to the face let alone a pistol...
Turdeau said banning handguns from law abiding citizens would help reduce gun crime tho LOL
It is Canada and handguns are now illegal to own and a massive gun confiscation is now happening in Canada.
@@M4DD4WGIt has weirdo
So very sorry. Did they carry a gun for protection?
Deepest condolences 💐
So so sorry❤
I believe that wild spaces need to be maintained. If these kinds of attacks continue because of timing more than anything, then limit access during those times. If it is population, then allow controlled hunting with either special tag by lottery or auction.
Prepared is packing a 50cal. handgun in grizzly country. Dead bear, live camper.
Well prepared means, at the very least, a shotgun, not bear spray.
And not back country camping when bears are fattening up.
in a public government of Canada park, no firearms are allowed smh!
I am so sorry this happened. But you can never be “...well prepared...” for the wild.
