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.

Probably like a 1500$ kayak too
