Bear in camp! Katmai coast alaska. Electric fence.

Years ago I had two horses and a tiny pony in a field surrounded by an electric fence. Before I got the pony the fence charger could be shorted out for a few days before I realized and fixed the problem and the horses were none the wiser. When I got the pony, that little Bratt could smell when the power was off and would escape with the 2 horses in tow within a few hours! As smart as bears are, I have no doubt that once they understand what an electric fence does they would have a keen sense as to whether it was functioning or not. A bear circling is getting a good smell of the camp.

I like the video with the salmon fisherman that was just sitting in a chair relaxing when a grizzly walked up and sat next to him. Looked so calm and relaxing but i know that guy was messing his pants trying to figure out what to do.

Im hard if hearing and bears make me nervous, they are relatively quiet when they meander up to a campsite (from my perspective, being partially deaf) but they are so powerful that i wouldn’t stand a chance. I like to think i could at least fight a mountain lion so i didnt die a complete looser but a bear…. Just tell me what plate you want me to sit on me bear. Lol.

Timothy Treadwell just called... He wants to know how he can obtain a fence like this.. :p

Oh man that would oh had me so scared, haha you all got some nerves of steel.

Did he swing by later and tried again?

Can a bear jump over that fence?

This fence will not stop a charging or determined bear.

Great video ✌️

Terrifying still

Have to admit that I was hoping for a more shocking ending.

He's having some salad before the main course, Human with a bit of peanut butter.😂😂

So far so good. Sleeping may be safer however we still have to leave what appears to be a well designed safety zone.. Definitely a good option!

How did you trick him? What do you smell like? What’s in the yeti? How much voltage in those twigs and wires?
What weapon do you use to defend yourself from a bear that big and that close ?

Make sure you leave the camera on and.a will to post the video when that day finally comes

Excellent video and so true. I'd still have a 10mm in a hand, or even better, a shotgun... You all NOT panicking (properly prepared and knowledgeable) generally gets one to this point. And on another point, you are right.. A lot of people would. have shot it due only to proximity..

When three becomes a crowd !!!! Great video Brad !

“Most bears don’t want trouble, but they are always curious.”
I believe that from my experiences as well.

Thanks for being 1 of the few who doesn't shoot to kill, ESPECIALLY when your behind a powerful Electric fence.
I understand in some situations, like being in the open back country with No other protection to hide behind..
You must shoot to kill.
Thank you for sharing this Beautiful experience with us!

ne could hangen and test you later? na not safe when an ugly boar does not care about the fence and gets pissed . i don't know but i seens ugly boars who eat cubs walk strait through it with a little fuss. this is just a good bear grizzly.

I am watching all kinds of videos. I would not expect a very hungry, or injured and desperate griz to be deterred by an electric fence. The "electrified carcass" video was the most instructive. The bear was willing to be shocked hard many times in the mouth. I purchased the most power 12vdc energizer I could afford that has a reserve of 4.7 joules as it is best to have enough juice to hit hard through a thick and possibly damp coat. And the bear could become entangled in the fence, grounding it out. In the event that they are highly motivated, It is best to be able to hit them hard as possible so that they do not test the fence again.

A question, is that fence gonna stop a really hungry bear?

I just bought the 45 sq ft UDAP bear fence and going to test it out camping in the interior of BC in a couple weeks. Is that an UDAP fence? I see it has 4 wires though and UDAP only has 3. Would have love to see it touch his nose on those wires to see how effective it is. Certainly gives you some added security at night in your tent though.

What fence is that?

Was that a sow, or a subadult male?

OMG beatiful bear
You are my hero
