No doubt lol I'm still unconvinced I couldnt stay opposite that big bastard from a 3ft pine tree. I think he gets pissed off and moves on with his life after 1-2hrs. I'm just not accepting I cant shimmy around that tree as fast as something 600lbs. With a whole lot more skin in the game


This is a joke right. You are not going up against an elephant here. You are going up against a Grizzly. He is faster and quicker than you. His job is to catch prey and kill it. A Grizzly is faster than any horse up to 100 yards. Grizzly’s have been recorded running down caribou in over a mile chase and catching them. You would not stand a chance climbing up a tree to get away from Grizzly. He would climb the tree in 2 seconds and bring you down but you think you are going to be able to hide behind one and be safe.

My encounter was on a mountain side. We were in the middle of class 3 scrambling when it came towards us. That bear covered more ground in 30 seconds than we could in 10 minutes. Running or climbing was not an option. We started waving our arms and yelling and it finally stopped within 25 yards of us. I had zero confidence in the bear spray if I had to use it, we were at it’s mercy the entire time.
