I was listening to a show the other day and these guys were going back and forth for about 15 min on why they do not carry weapons while out looking for Sasquatch. There are so many things that can get you while out in the woods. This is a perfect example. Skip ahead to 2:22 into the video.
Fred Eichler has another hair raising adventure in the wild & gets charged by a huge momma bear. The boys were floating down river in search of a new camp & ended up in a life or death situation.

Like to see a person try using bear spray in this situation; or the flute they are carrying.
Dara H
That’s funny….Ms. Pam Purple Rose! I agree ????
Steven J
Nice too see he was properly prepared, but I do wonder if he actually hit what he was intending to hit…
SantiamLady
He said he fired into the river in front of the bear.????????
mark s
Holy **** thank god he was quick with the pistol and didn’t even hit the mother bear.
Trent M
Yeah I agree with Pam, bear spray would’ve been worthless with the spray and wind. Those were lucky man

It doesn’t matter if you’re out in the woods or on a city street: …..The old Boy Scout Motto is still good advice!!
BE PREPARED!!!

Not just have protection on you. Have it at a position that is accessible in a very fast manner. They were 1 second away from 800 pounds of pissued off MOMMA.
SantiamLady
Yup! That wilderness experience was nearly their last! ????

It’s amazing that the charge came right after his stern command to, ” Get outta here” and his arm gesture, Momma bear took offense to that.

FAST HOW MUCH MORE ON LAND

“An intense experience”, talk about understatement!
Here in Ohio if I was out in the woods I would be afraid of encountering feral dog packs, wasp nests, or copperheads.

Did you notice the mother bear had her ears back and flat? That’s not a bluff charge. That was a real attack in the making and if he hadn’t fired, one or all 3 men would be dead or mauled.

Seen that awhile back. Amazing one of the guys was able to get a shot off before that bear got to share a bow hunter lunch with her cubs.

I bet he wasnt planning to shoot n front of her. He probly just missed what he was aiming for. That close u dnt gamble with tryin to scare her off.
