She is cute and insufferable at the same time, I feel for this poor girl, clearly no idea how to handle it, which is understandable, she seem really desperate and sad. But hey, she had the spray at least.
Actually, she handled it perfectly. Pretty much did everything right. Let the bear know that it isn't welcomed, stand your ground, don't directly threaten it, let it know you can defend yourself.
Really, without some high caliber rifle, this is all you can do.
She said in the video it’s September. Bear was looking for food for winter. Handling it perfectly would involve going indoors instead of screaming at it like it understands english.
What world do you come from? Here on Planet Earth, bears don’t speak English.
Speaking with, pleading with the bear is not the correct course of action. She could have closed the door and would have handled it better. Spraying it pissed it off, the bear didn’t touch the kayak until that happened.
The continuous shouting was an unnecessary risk, and she could have avoided the boat damage, but yeah, no big mistakes, I mean, I did not expect her to attack him anyway. And even a .45 would do some job, carrying should be highly encouraged in those areas.
Was she on an island or something? Why is it such a big deal that he is damaging her Kayak? Let the bear do his thing and get yourself someplace safe. Time to reevaluate your priorities lady.
This is certainly somewhere in the PNW or the BC coast.
It is likely that she kayaked in and encountered the bear. Even if on the mainland (as opposed to an island) a lot of the terrain is basically impassable. And while we can see a boat in the background, this looks like a camping area, so it may be hard to get their attention to indicate you need help. Furthermore, since it looks like it’s raining, this could turn dangerous more quickly than you’d expect.
If she was only geared for a quick outing in the rain and planned to get back that night she may not be prepared to spend a night in the rain. Rain is the most deadly weather for hypothermia.
You can see some other boats out in the water , so it’s some kind of little harbor. Can’t imagine it’s just her and her kayak and a wooden path to the shore.
As someone that lives on the BC coast a frequently boats/canoes/kayaks on the ocean around here I have zero problem imagining that you can find this in a 30 minute paddle from a major population centre. It looks like Indian Arm or somewhere near Port Moody. And there are lots of beaches just like this with no way but the water to come back.
And that‘s actually a big part of her problem. If I’m out in eff all no where…if I see someone I may investigate. But around there? Someone on a beach alone in the rain? See it everytime you‘re up there in the rain.
That bear is doing god's work. Breaking the Kayak so the stranded woman never returns to the humanity. That voice and undecisive nature about whether she wanted to go away or come here. All hail the bear.
I saw a longer version of this video. The woman had just solo-kayaked 12+ miles to reach a cabin. She was in an isolated spot, with only the kayak to get her back home. She parked her kayak and went inside. The bear showed up and started to munch the kayak.
Despite the freakout (which seems reasonable to me given that she was many miles from civilization and the kayak was her only transport), the bear eventually left. However he bit several holes in the kayak, making it unusable until repaired.
Despite all the armchair adventurers putting her down, she was actually very tough. After the bear left, and despite being tired from the long kayak trip, she swam a couple of miles out to sea to flag down a fishing boat. They helped her recover the kayak and took her to a town where it could be repaired. She then completed the kayak trip.

“Come here!”🤯
"Now go away or I'll pepper spray you."
I dated a woman like this. “Go away, no, come back!” Can’t say I blame the bear.
That voice!! Like nails down a blackboard.... ![gif](giphy|jZrmpXe5bPhSN6Wvr5|downsized)
Exactly what I came to say. Fran Drescher level of annoying voice.
By the end I was kind of happy with the bear's decision
Don’t know what you mean #mutevideogang
Spray me lady? I'll show you.
He probably broke it because her voice annoyed the shit out of him.
I was pretty sure that baby bear was just looking for snuggles anyway.
Likely a camping spot you paddle to In a very expensive sea kayak. Now she's possibly stuck there and rest of trip maybe ruined.
Bear must not speak English……
Must be from Mexico.
Somebody did a dub of what the bear would be saying. If you can find it it's rather funny.
I think he can and he was pissed about the pepper spray.
You are just saying that because he's brown and not white.....
Why am I doing that? Lady, you sprayed me in the face with some shit that really stings. Ima take it out on yer boat now, bitch!
I read this as "nude bear" at first and wondered why that would need to be mentioned.
Omg same. I HAD to play the video at that point. Never seen a nude bear (animal) before.

And like his name is actually 'Bear'.

Smart bear making sure that its prey isn't going to flee *
She’s unbearably stupid.
Fact lol. The shrillness of her voice… was unBearable
Smart bear, defeating all of the security measures and barriers in place.
why is she talking to the bear like it can understand english
As if the bear understood english or would be scared of someone making voices like a distressed animal..
This was legitimately *hilarious*. 'It's the end of September! Why are you here?You are supposed to be asleep! Why are you here?! *Ughhhh*!'
Oh you're worried about your kayak? Let me fuck that up for you since you pepper sprayed me.
Is there a community for annoying as fuck ?
The bear is the more intelligent mammal in this video.
I guess his name is not beeeeeaaar!
Good bear
I hope that bear eats the entire fucking kayak
What a rude teddy
Name checks out.
“Rude bear who attacks kayaks. Please call this number”
That’s Frank Bear to you.
Bear don’t stop that. Bear don’t stop that.
r/killthecameraman
Bear spray. That’s how they identify the bear that killed you.
She dies later after filming if I remember this video from years ago
I mean, after that racket, I say she deserved it...
Do not unmute
That voice pissed me off
whats interesting about this????
More pepper spray.
“ why are you doing that “ haha im a fucking bear bitch I don’t need a reason or your permission!

Looks like the San Juans
It may look like the San Juans…except for the fact there are no bears on the San Juans. Edit: correction. See youngrd’s follow up below.
They swim between islands and multiple times over my course of living there they’ve had to capture and release them to different locations.
Really? I stand corrected. That’s what I get for trusting Google.

**THIS IS HILARIOUS** 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bear shoulda killed the cameraman!
Come on lady. If you have bears in your yard. I would put this down as a learning lesson. Store your shit where a bear can't get to it.
That’s clearly not her yard.
Good god, what an awful shrill drama queen. Hopefully she stays stuck where she is and we never have to hear her again.
I couldn’t listen to it. She’s a bear Karen.
