TIL Nagging a bear doesn't work.

This woman was on a 110 mile kayak trip, in alaska, without other means of transportation, I'm fairly sure her meltdown was a result of her realizing she had no other way out of the area, besides the boat she took in. The article about this i found says she swam to the sailboat pictured in the video, and asked them for a ride to the nearest town (~40 mi.) to fix her boat. I'm also fairly sure that most people would have a similar meltdown, upon realizing that a bear that you had hoped wouldn't attack you, instead attacked your transportation, and left you basically stranded, in a us forestry cabin, in midcoast alaska. While she sure sounds like a screeching annoyance, her actions in taking this trip in the first place, and finding a way out, are not the actions of a helpless waste of space.

No, because I would have scared the bear off or killed it. Like most people in the wilds of Alaska, I would have sense enough to carry a gun and bear spray.

Yup.

Dealing with bears in that part of alaska is a thing.

She was clearly not prepared for the trip.

Thanks for the perspective. This is probably the nature-land equivalent of having your car or bike stolen, but worse because she's out there on her own.

If she wasn't such a bitch with the pepper spray I wouldn't have fucked up her Kayak.

I would go challenge the bear at arm wrestling and hairy chest contest.

To paraphrase Henry Rollins:"This is why we don't put women on the moon. 'Cause you're going to paint something some gay color and your gonna cry. "

Still, I suspect I'd have had a small hissy fit myself.

Probably just someone who's too sheltered to be out there alone. Someone who won't even swear at a bear, and who talks to it like it can understand English probably doesn't have the cranial capacity to comprehend even the basic tenets of feminismI know there's a low margin, but she seems below it.

We should use this woman to interrogate terrorists. I don't think anyone could stand that voice for more than 2 minutes.

Yeah. That isn't going to work. Whining definitely will not make a bear stop. I wonder why it would want to eat that though?

One thing that would make it stop though. A gun. And before the people that always feel sorry for animals jump on me for saying this, keep in mind it is very common to have a firearm in Alaska for self defense against wildlife like bears

When I was a kid, we had a horse that would chew on the wood on his stall, and if left to roam freely about the yard, would nibble on the wire window screens. It was postulated that he had some sort of mineral deficiency.

The Wadsworth Constant could not be more relevant.
