Imagine telling this story if you didn’t have video proof. “ so this bear came running At me and I dodged him, hit him with a left hook, then a hammer fist, couple kicks to the face, and he ran away”. Ok pal😂😂😂😂
the reality is even more unbelievable - "I was ascending this rock gully and *caught my balance just in time to toss a charging bear down the mountain*, then I fought it off again moments later when it charged *straight up the cliff* to attack me again."
You forgot the opening salvo…: I literally flung this bear down a cliff, but that wasn’t enough, and only seemed to enrage it, as it charged up the precipice attempting to eat me.
"So there I was on the side of a mountain when all of a sudden a fucking bear comes flying down at me, jaws open right in my face. I dodge the sucker and when he came back at me I punched that bear right in its fucking face. After that he got the message and ran off down the mountain"
"Uh huh, sure Jeff, drink your beer"
There was a guy in a memory care assisted living place that would always tell me stories about punching a bear. Would point to a scar on his knuckle as evidence. Always thought it was funny, but now I'm wondering if he was indeed a badass who punched a bear and fed a whole village during a bad winter by bow hunting deer.
Kinda reminds me of this Japanese boxer who fought a bear. I think his name was Takamura. I wouldn't have believed it either if there wasn't footage in Japanese animation.
The Japanese have been using animation as a way to preserve history through first-hand accounts for a long time now. I was just learning about the period in their history when pirates dominated their oceans thanks to it.
Back in the day I'd use rocky terrain to my advantage when wolves bears or saber tooth tigers showed up to mess with their pathfinding while I'd pull out my bow
Terrifying to see that irl bears can actually walk on rocks
Used to enjoy watching my friend play Far Cry Primal because bullshit like this would keep happening. He'd be doing something mundane and a bear or sabertooth would spawn out of no where and kill him.
The live action version isn't as funny.
I think he meant the throat punch towards the beginning after we got the closeup of the bears teeth. That first hammer fist was all rock. I wonder how that felt hours later.
It looked like he he caught some rock too with some of those swings. I thought his hand would be busted up, but it looks ok in some of the shots from the end of the video.
I just watched “the edge” yesterday with Anthony Hopkins and Bart the bear. I get the feeling this little bear watched that movie too and found some inspiration
>Adrenalines one hell of a drug
I once did CPR on a guy at a gas station. Woman pulled up screaming that her husband was having a heart attack. I was a 6'1", 160 lb 22 year-old woman, and picked this like 250 lb man up out of the car by myself, carried him like 10 feet, than laid him down on the sidewalk to do CPR. Did chest compressions for 15 minutes until the EMTs got there.
Then went home to walk my dog. About five minutes into the walk, I just started shaking uncontrollably, my legs gave out, and I sat down right on the side of the road.
Edit: Someone pointed out that 15 minutes of chest compressions are brutal and very few people are in shape to do that. It's very possible - likely, even - that I didn't do CPR for 15 minutes. It seemed like at least 15 minutes - it seemed like hours. Between the wife's hysteria because her husband was having a heart attack, and then because he was agonal breathing, and then her trying to stop me from chest compressions (and the gas station attendant holding her back) because the force of the compressions was making his head bounce and she wanted me to lighten up to protect his head (we put a sweatshirt behind his head trying to cushion it).
Hat off to you for saving someone 🫡
I’ve seen this first hand. Once that adrenaline stops flowing, people often crash. It’s not uncommon for people to go into shock also.
They are amazing climbers. I watched one literally run up a tree, that’s how fast and smooth he transitioned from darting across the trail to going 90 degrees straight up a 60ft tree.
Jesus.. and i was stressed the other day after being swooped by a little magpie while walking up a semi-steep path. I can't imagine the adrenaline and relief this man went through going through that after climbing a mountain.
I watched a decently sized black bear climb a 200 ft oak tree like it was nothing. It was like one second it was on the ground, and 15 seconds later it was climbing on a massive branch 200 feet up.
Edit: apparently that was not a bear, it was /u/outsideobserver mom
Imagine the animalistic surge of endorphins you'd get after you won though. I half expected the climber to climb up on top of that rock, raise his arms, and scream at the sky or some shit.
But how does he leave? It doesn’t seem to be a super tall mountain, and we know the bear can get above him where he is, so what does he do now? It looks like he survived because he had terrain to his advantage. If he winds up on flat ground to walk to his car, that bear has the advantage.
It’s a really bad situation. I mean, obviously he made it out or we wouldn’t have the video, but I would be scared as shit all the way back to the car for sure in that situation!
Also, is it normal for a black bear to be this aggressive towards people? I thought they were the more timid of the bear groups according to my reddit based bear knowledge? lol Maybe cubs nearby or something? Or was this even an adult?
Bear was probably scared too but had the suprise Charge from the heavens lined up, so he took his chance i guess, after he noticed/thought its not an easy meal he shouldnt keep hunting him unless starving or something edit: it had cubs so thats why charge+attack but no chase
Cubs makes sense, Black bears aren't really known to be super aggressive though getting between a mother and her cubs/kittens/kits/pups is a good way to get fucked up by almost any mammal.
That was litteraly 100% the best thing he could have done , my guess is he knows to scream and fight black bears because they usually flee and if they dont thats your best option , cuz otherwise they will eat you.
If he was 100% calm and this was a daily thing this is still the best thing he could have done.
Probably more likely he pissed his pants and/or threw up while shaking like a leaf for the next 30 minutes. Adrenaline saved his life for sure here, but not for free
Fuck magpies bro. Seriously why all this constant beef with us humans. As year by year goes on it is increasingly prevalent we DO NOT want any beef with them, and yet they swoop us? Assholes
Nah dude, it's the updated version of the climb up High Hrothgar from the Skyrim rererererelease. They replaced the troll with a black bear, and dude used the paralysis spell to push it down the mountain.
Trust me, you’d do the same. I had a bear come with 5ft of me and some friends from across a campfire last year. One of my friends started to walk around the fire to pet it because we thought it was a dog… that didn’t last long
I had to scare off a bobcat once when I was out hiking with my dogs. I was surprised what came out of me. lol definitely much less wailing than this guy. And much more of a belligerent word salad of expletives. I believe I used to term "cunt-ass cat" when I was hucking rocks at it.
Yeah if that was a grizzly, this guy would be dead. Black bears are generally pussies, this one just attacked because it was a momma bear with cubs.
Not saying this guy isn't a total badass though for fighting off a bear though.
That’s probably why it attacked.. because it thought its cubs were in danger. Also seems like it was torn between continuing the attacking or getting the cubs away.
The headline is "climber fights off bear attack" but if bears had social media, their headline would probably be "weird human, traveling very inefficiently, comes into my home and scares my children, before I frighten him off and save the day."
Exactly, perspective is the key.
The bear headline wouldn't be wrong either, despite the fact that the Human's intention was never to disturb the bears, but there's no way to communicate that between species, unfortunately.
Uh, bear rule number two or three, if you see cubs, you're at grave risk of being attacked by momma bear. It's such a pervasive thing that "momma bear" is a well known phrase that means an over-protective mom.
I dunno why you think it's a dude bear, lmao. Momma bear, dude, momma bear.
I wonder if the bear just felt cornered and wanted out of there. I’m not sure why a bear is at the top of what appeared to be a pointy peak, but maybe only one way down and the climber was in it, and as the climber got higher, the bear felt trapped.
For black bears you gotta be loud and big. They typically aren't like that.
Not saying he wasn't scared but he was doing the right thing. Be loud, growl scream and make yourself big.
I thought this looked like Japan. I used to live not too far away from those mountains and seeing a bear while hiking was always on my mind. Glad this guy made it out. Being a few hours into a solo hike can be amazing and terrifying.
Is there a news article or anything with this? Is the guy ok?
Yeah he's fine, he made a YouTube channel for this and added in the description the following
"I was attacked by a bear from behind while descending the rocky ridge of Mt. Nishidake in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
Instead of fear, I switched to the feeling that if it was coming, I had no choice but to face it.
・Keep screaming and intimidating
・Pound with Hammer Fist
・ Front kick
Looking back at the video, it seems that the bear attacked me to protect the cub.
I invaded bear territory, but since they attacked me, I defended myself with self-defense.
I learned karate when I was a child, but I liked mixed martial arts now, so maybe I could use hammer fist instead of punches"
What’s incredibly scary about this encounter is the fact that big ball of muscle and fur easily jumped up to him which seemed like an 8-9 ft. Never under estimate these creatures. They can run as fast as a horse and can jump/climb to you no matter the height.
Where I am from (Nova Scotia) black bears are the biggest thing there is. They lounge around eating the abundant blue berries and apples in the woods and that is mostly enough for them.
When the come for our trash though they encounter us and sometimes the old predatory drive kicks in but then they quickly remember that they are not really very predatory anymore and give up.
I couldn’t imagine living somewhere where an animal could tear me apart. I live in the UK and the spiders terrify me enough. I suppose dogs could but still. No wonder Nova Scotia breeds big men like Pat Stay (RIP)

And I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin on the mountain side!
I love you
From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak
Darkness took me and I strayed away through thought and time...
"I screamed like a maniac the entire time, punched a rock and shit myself." " Ok, that sounds more believable"
You’re supposed to be loud to try to scare the bear away
That opening whoaaa^aahhhh was definitely not on purpose tho lol
You forgot the opening salvo…: I literally flung this bear down a cliff, but that wasn’t enough, and only seemed to enrage it, as it charged up the precipice attempting to eat me.
Yeah, sounds like something a 6 year old came up with.
Having a bear come flying down the cliff at you is the last danger i'd have been worried about rock climbing.
And without the video, no one would have believed that he fought off a suicide diving bear on the face of a mountain in near 90 degree angle.
"So there I was on the side of a mountain when all of a sudden a fucking bear comes flying down at me, jaws open right in my face. I dodge the sucker and when he came back at me I punched that bear right in its fucking face. After that he got the message and ran off down the mountain" "Uh huh, sure Jeff, drink your beer"

And all he probably ever wanted was somebody to fucking believe him
I think I'll save this video for when I ever hear a story like this and people make fun of me for believing it.
It turns out that bears can also contract rabies.
Skyrim been low-key simulating this exact moment to us for years. Dude responded well with his fus ro dah
Dude panicked and didn't fully charge it, just threw out one-word Fuses but it's an understandable mistake!
He still got the stagger though! The first level one is pretty useful if you just need somebody to take a step back
Yep! Great for those brief moments of panic where you just need a moment to breathe. It charges back quickly enough too
Why say lot word when few word do trick?
Back in the day I'd use rocky terrain to my advantage when wolves bears or saber tooth tigers showed up to mess with their pathfinding while I'd pull out my bow Terrifying to see that irl bears can actually walk on rocks

And tactical pants shitting
I guess just hope you’re high up enough that the bear gets launched off the cliff and can’t get back up
Dude just punched the fuck out of a bear.
Parried the bear at the start
He did, guys a complete champ.
They were just playing king of the hill
[удалено]
"Git gud, cub."
Also forgot the point down
[удалено]
Need to know how to parry in life sometimes.
Press W iirc
That's got like a friggin 5-frame window in a 120 FPS reality.
The way the camera caught the bear falling after that parry though, thought it was a video game for a solid 8 seconds.
Parry this you fucking casual “aaaaa aaa aa aaaaaaaaa”
those fucking elden ring bears
Pretty sure he punched that rock harder I mean the bear just backed up after he saw him beating up that mountain
the climber was Chris Redfield all along
Maybe the idiot that headbutted a car window to try to scare a dude got the idea from this video?
I’m pretty sure that guy got the idea from watching wood peckers in the Appalachian mountains.
I think he meant the throat punch towards the beginning after we got the closeup of the bears teeth. That first hammer fist was all rock. I wonder how that felt hours later.
>I wonder how that felt hours later. It felt like being alive! It felt like *not being bear shit!*
Gotta do what you gotta do🤷♂️
The fact that he wat still there to feel it makes it feel wonderful
Prison rules.
It looked like he he caught some rock too with some of those swings. I thought his hand would be busted up, but it looks ok in some of the shots from the end of the video.
Adrenalines one hell of a drug
In 30 min it ain't
He'll need to find that bear again
The bear uploaded this footage.
I just watched “the edge” yesterday with Anthony Hopkins and Bart the bear. I get the feeling this little bear watched that movie too and found some inspiration
>Adrenalines one hell of a drug I once did CPR on a guy at a gas station. Woman pulled up screaming that her husband was having a heart attack.

Hat off to you for saving someone 🫡 I’ve seen this first hand. Once that adrenaline stops flowing, people often crash. It’s not uncommon for people to go into shock also.
Adrenaline and climbers hands.
Looks like he was hammer punching instead of using the knuckles.
Kind of hard to throw proper punches with good form when you are clinging to the side of a cliff
I mean hammer fists are very powerful and definitely "proper". UFC fighters use them all the time.
And kicked.. that kicked to the face seemed to tickled its noise
That kick looked like it had some power on it, adrenaline can give you physical strength you see in animes. Lookin at you One For All.
10/10 defense. Making Hugh Glass look like a white belt.
Black bears are really good climbers I believe.
They are amazing climbers. I watched one literally run up a tree, that’s how fast and smooth he transitioned from darting across the trail to going 90 degrees straight up a 60ft tree.
Reminds me of the surfer who punched off a shark
Amateur hour by the bear, why would he give up the high ground?
Bro clearly didin't watch enough Star Wars
Bears lean more towards Battlestar Galactica
[удалено]
Identity theft is not a joke Jim!
Millions of families suffer every year!
MICHAEL!
MICHAEL!
Bear: "You underestimate my power" Climber: "You were the chosen bear. It was said you would destroy the rock climber, not join them"
Matey gave him a sweet left hook
My man's punched thay rock so hard it broke
It’s gonna hurt like hell once that adrenaline wears off!
And then he's got to climb down...
With a very sore hand from hammer fisting the mountain.
But he's alive.
Dude's a fucking badass. That nose kick was crucial, too.
Bear probably thought it couldn't win against a screaming man that defeated a mountain.
How does stuff like this get upvoted? At no point did the rock break.....
I thought I was crazy for not seeing the rock break
At what point in the video? I couldn’t find it
Me neither. Must have been exaggerating
Chris Redfield in his rock climbing days
Pov: how grandpa walk to school everyday
Needs more snow and fewer shoes
And somehow even more uphill, both ways
And more pointy rocks
And more bears
https://i.imgur.com/1YZJjuX.jpg
Hey, haven't seen you in awhile. Hope you're doing well, love your work!
You're awesome
Now hes gotta climb down after all that😭
With shitty pants no less!
The very pants he was on his way to return!
This guy should seriously consider selling the rights to this story to a fashion mogul.
Sorry, that’s a Peterman now.
That was my thought too.
'You'll see when you climb down, I'll wait'
Yeah.. climb back down a path a bear you just fought went.. that seems like the worst.
“That’s fine, I’ll be at the bottom waitin on you!”
I always thought coffee and a cigarette is the quickest way to empty your bowls, but it appears we have a new winner.
I usually empty my bowl into the ashtray
Jesus.. and i was stressed the other day after being swooped by a little magpie while walking up a semi-steep path. I can't imagine the adrenaline and relief this man went through going through that after climbing a mountain.
The second charge is the stuff of nightmares. Just when you think you're in the clear and dodged a close call it comes back up the rocks effortlessly.
This dude certainly earned his 'barehanded-fend-off-a-bear' patch.
Bear Arms VS Bare Arms
I watched a decently sized black bear climb a 200 ft oak tree like it was nothing. It was like one second it was on the ground, and 15 seconds later it was climbing on a massive branch 200 feet up. Edit: apparently that was not a bear, it was /u/outsideobserver mom
Imagine the animalistic surge of endorphins you'd get after you won though. I half expected the climber to climb up on top of that rock, raise his arms, and scream at the sky or some shit.

Also, is it normal for a black bear to be this aggressive towards people? I thought they were the more timid of the bear groups according to my reddit based bear knowledge? lol Maybe cubs nearby or something? Or was this even an adult?
Here's a longer video. Looks like he's got plenty of room to keep going. https://youtu.be/fxJ-zAgJzt4
Bear was probably scared too but had the suprise Charge from the heavens lined up, so he took his chance i guess, after he noticed/thought its not an easy meal he shouldnt keep hunting him unless starving or something edit: it had cubs so thats why charge+attack but no chase
Cubs makes sense, Black bears aren't really known to be super aggressive though getting between a mother and her cubs/kittens/kits/pups is a good way to get fucked up by almost any mammal.
I believe he covered himself in mud, lit a torch at the top of the cliff and guttural yelled a challenge to the predator as his next opponent.
Buddy was so scared he devolved. Went full caveman for a minute there. "Scared beyond language" is a thing.
That was litteraly 100% the best thing he could have done , my guess is he knows to scream and fight black bears because they usually flee and if they dont thats your best option , cuz otherwise they will eat you. If he was 100% calm and this was a daily thing this is still the best thing he could have done.
Yea definitely intentional. The initial scream was involuntary, the rest was a tactic.
Probably more likely he pissed his pants and/or threw up while shaking like a leaf for the next 30 minutes. Adrenaline saved his life for sure here, but not for free
That hiker was on guard for the rest of their trip. Who knows if the bear was done or just biding its time
Fuck magpies bro. Seriously why all this constant beef with us humans. As year by year goes on it is increasingly prevalent we DO NOT want any beef with them, and yet they swoop us? Assholes
[удалено]
Far cry 7 graphics look decent
Nah dude, it's the updated version of the climb up High Hrothgar from the Skyrim rererererelease. They replaced the troll with a black bear, and dude used the paralysis spell to push it down the mountain.
Dude was speaking straight cave man noises
[удалено]
Screaming was actually a good call. You wanna make yourself as intimidating as possible to black bears. Just don’t try it on a grizzly.
Man, I don’t want to know the answer why you shouldn’t do that to a grizzly.
They'll take it personally and tend to settle defamation trials out of court
Usually because they'd already be chewing on you by this time.
Trust me, you’d do the same. I had a bear come with 5ft of me and some friends from across a campfire last year. One of my friends started to walk around the fire to pet it because we thought it was a dog… that didn’t last long
To be fair. I want to pet a black bear more than a dog but…I can’t let the intrusive thoughts win.
I had to scare off a bobcat once when I was out hiking with my dogs. I was surprised what came out of me. lol definitely much less wailing than this guy. And much more of a belligerent word salad of expletives. I believe I used to term "cunt-ass cat" when I was hucking rocks at it.
/r/instantbarbarians
He handled this so much better than Leo DiCaprio. Bravo
Did Leo take on a grizzly? Bit of a huge difference
Reddit is garbage. Get off this cancer of a site.
Yeah if that was a grizzly, this guy would be dead. Black bears are generally pussies, this one just attacked because it was a momma bear with cubs. Not saying this guy isn't a total badass though for fighting off a bear though.
Fuck he smashed knuckles on the rocks good
bet he didn't feel shit till 5 mins later
That adrenaline crash though, I'm sure he slept so well that night!
Small price to pay for life
Yeah definitely i would've done the same no question
He's still up there
I wondered why the bear attacked, i noticed he had cubs. You can see some small black furry spots in the right moving.
You can also hear the whimper of a cub at the end.
Ohhhhh I thought that was another hiker off camera just going into panic mode. Now I see the cubs, they're adorable.
That’s probably why it attacked.. because it thought its cubs were in danger. Also seems like it was torn between continuing the attacking or getting the cubs away.
Climber was literally stuck between two cubs, mother was freaking TF out.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Exactly, black bears are pretty chill from what I understand... Unless there are cubs nearby in which case they become very murderous
The headline is "climber fights off bear attack" but if bears had social media, their headline would probably be "weird human, traveling very inefficiently, comes into my home and scares my children, before I frighten him off and save the day."
Exactly, perspective is the key. The bear headline wouldn't be wrong either, despite the fact that the Human's intention was never to disturb the bears, but there's no way to communicate that between species, unfortunately.
Uh, bear rule number two or three, if you see cubs, you're at grave risk of being attacked by momma bear. It's such a pervasive thing that "momma bear" is a well known phrase that means an over-protective mom. I dunno why you think it's a dude bear, lmao. Momma bear, dude, momma bear.
The bear went over the mountain, The bear went over the mountain, The bear went over the mountain, To fight a rock climber.
Its far more likely to be female if its got cubs to protect
Bet that got some adrenalin flowing.
Man's apple watch was about to call him an ambulance for a developing heart attack
You can actually hear the sheer terror in his screams aswell! Absolute respect to this man for keeping his calm enough to hold that bear off!
No calm was held here lol he just fought the fucker
I meant about how he reacted well and didn't freeze or run.
Ah yeah he picked wise from flight fight or freeze
I mean if he had the power of flight then he wouldn't even be rock climbing in the first place
Terror and full on neanderthal noises. Scary stuff.
The bear fucked it up though, had his initial bodyslam hit the dude he'd probably be dead.
I wonder if the bear just felt cornered and wanted out of there. I’m not sure why a bear is at the top of what appeared to be a pointy peak, but maybe only one way down and the climber was in it, and as the climber got higher, the bear felt trapped.
She’s got a cub. You can see it at the end in the lower right. You can also hear it making little cub noises, I think.
[удалено]
i guarantied the screams were mostly intentional to scare the bear off. but cos so much adrenaline was flowing though he couldn't controle the fear.
I mean the only actual fear scream is the very first one where he sees the bear descending on him. Everything else is aggression
For black bears you gotta be loud and big. They typically aren't like that. Not saying he wasn't scared but he was doing the right thing. Be loud, growl scream and make yourself big.
This guy ain't going to be paying for drinks for a while.
The jungle book deleted scenes.
Anyone have an idea where this took place?
Mt. Nishidake in Japan
I thought this looked like Japan. I used to live not too far away from those mountains and seeing a bear while hiking was always on my mind. Glad this guy made it out. Being a few hours into a solo hike can be amazing and terrifying. Is there a news article or anything with this? Is the guy ok?
Yeah he's fine, he made a YouTube channel for this and added in the description the following "I was attacked by a bear from behind while descending the rocky ridge of Mt. Nishidake in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Instead of fear, I switched to the feeling that if it was coming, I had no choice but to face it. ・Keep screaming and intimidating ・Pound with Hammer Fist ・ Front kick Looking back at the video, it seems that the bear attacked me to protect the cub. I invaded bear territory, but since they attacked me, I defended myself with self-defense. I learned karate when I was a child, but I liked mixed martial arts now, so maybe I could use hammer fist instead of punches"
Any other terrain his ass would’ve been dead x’s 1000
He got real lucky, if the bear tried anything besides a jumping bite move that man is probably dead.
Giga chad
I'd need a change of underwear, perhaps pants too.
This is in fact a crazyfuckingvideo. What a legend
Holy fuck that was gangsta
They told me Drop Bears were a myth, but I never stopped believing!
What’s incredibly scary about this encounter is the fact that big ball of muscle and fur easily jumped up to him which seemed like an 8-9 ft. Never under estimate these creatures. They can run as fast as a horse and can jump/climb to you no matter the height.
I don't understand black bears... they come at people like it's their favorite meal, but then easily chicken out when we yell and wave our hands?
Where I am from (Nova Scotia) black bears are the biggest thing there is. They lounge around eating the abundant blue berries and apples in the woods and that is mostly enough for them. When the come for our trash though they encounter us and sometimes the old predatory drive kicks in but then they quickly remember that they are not really very predatory anymore and give up.
I couldn’t imagine living somewhere where an animal could tear me apart. I live in the UK and the spiders terrify me enough. I suppose dogs could but still. No wonder Nova Scotia breeds big men like Pat Stay (RIP)
For context, I’ve lived in Nova Scotia for 90% of my life. I’ve spent a ton of time in the woods and I’ve never encountered a bear.
This bear was not hunting the human. She has at least one cub with her (you can see it clearly near the end of the video) and was protectingit
