KODIAK, Alaska – A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak aircrew rescued the survivor of a bear attack, near Nome, Friday.
The helicopter crew embarked the individual and transported him to awaiting Emergency Medical Service personnel waiting in Nome.
While flying from Kotzebue to Nome, the aircrew observed an SOS sign on top of a shack. Upon circling back over the mining camp, the aircrew observed a male individual waving two hands in the air, which is considered an international distress signal.
The aircrew landed and made contact with the individual, who requested medical care after being attacked by a bear a few days earlier.
The individual was assessed and appeared to have bruising on his torso and a leg injury.
The man reported that the bear had returned to his camp and harassed him every night for a week straight.
His friends had reported him overdue after he hadn’t returned to Nome.

Sounds like the stuff out of nightmares. I'm sure a decent movie could be made out of this ordeal.

First thing I thought of too. Just knowing the sun is setting and the bear is about to return.
That's pretty scary shite. Guessing he had a pretty fortified camp/tent/trailer to survive multiple "harassment" encounters.

This is why you carry out there. Probably couldn't have prevented the attack, but could have prevented that bear from continuing to return.
That's lonely country up on the Seward Peninsula. Still a very raw place.

I hear a lot if stories how humans don't mix well with giant bears, especially if caught slipping with no firearms
