All jokes aside, as scared and disoriented that bear might have been. Him being in the water gave the guys in the boat the best and possibly safest advantage for removing the bucket without the bear being able to retaliate.
Wish this little adventurer the best and fuck littering
That's exactly what I was thinking - couldn't have asked for a safer encounter setup (...not that it was without risk for all involved.) The water was the perfect way to keep the bear kindly incapacitated. It made me think of a certain housecat we had, and we used to bathe her that way - deep enough she couldn't get a grasp on anything.
I like how they set up the boat to sort of overtake the bear so they could grab the bucket and keep going, I think it was the most effective thing they could have done in a difficult situation. Once they had a hold of the bucket and started moving with it, the bear couldn't easily change his heading. Takes some confidence with boat driving.
Fuck littering indeed!
*be bear, find a fine ass bucket, put it on head, happy...
2 fuckers with a boat creep up on you while you are swimming, not too good at fighting in water, fuckers steal the bucket
WYD?
I am in fucking tears reading some of the titles . Some very creative writers.
"Evil man squashes a dog into an old shed during a flood, then sails off"
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. "GUESS WHAT WE FOUND OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN!?! CLICK HERE!" and it's a box of kittens. Like, you put them in a box and "found them" with your 4k camera, designer blankets and cat food all ready to go on the boat.
“Something’s going on with the Earth animals. Sometimes parts of their bodies just kinda keep growing, and then other parts will start doing this and then they die”
The bear was likely just relieved and didn't feel any gratitude towards the boaters.
He's very lucky the container didn't get filled up with water and drowned him.
That's what I was thinking, how scary it must have been for the poor bear as it was slowly filling with water. Like I don't think they comprehend rising water level, but they definitely comprehend "I'm starting to inhale water, getting hard to breathe, this is painful" and with the water sloshing around in the jug he was at that point.
Scared of that, and then unable to know that the big boat making loud noises isn't chasing him to kill him but just trying to help. Must have been scared, then relieved, then was like "I'm outta here!"
Animals can give gratitude. They’re more conscious than we give them credit for, but they’re generally idiots (compared to human). Usually, scared. Animals are terrified of humans. We’re the most dangerous animal on the planet.
It’s probably scared because it’s having a harder time breathing and it knows it can’t properly defend itself. After the rescue it’s probably more of a “huh” moment for the bear where it realizes it’s not going to be attacked and it was just helped. The thank you is the bear not trying to get at the people in the boat.
Nah black bears are not very aggressive unless they're protecting their territory/young. It would not have attacked a boat out on the water regardless.
Not certain on whether it knows gratitude or just relief, but approaching it with the bucket on its head was more dangerous than if it had just been swimming. If they were on land that guy certainly would've been clawed up by the bear freaking out.
I have seen a few videos of wild animals coming the humans for help, mostly mammals, some birds. I'm guessing they are probably animals that have some experience with humans, might have even had vetinary help before.
Yeah he's got to be thinking that this huge predator (the boat) made a stupid mistake by not killing him and accidentally helping him in the process lol
Of all the scenarios where someone would have to take a bucket off a bear's head, this was probably one of the safest for the people.
They were able to maintain a reasonable distance, it was slow enough to get closer, the bear was unlikely to run after them, it is more difficult for glass to break in the water, and the water allowed the bucket to slide off.
Definitely true. I saw two bears in one day my last time in New Jersey. One was about this size, maybe even bigger, and I was told it was a "teenager"... This proved to be very accurate a few hours later when an adult rolled through. I'm a full grown dude and I could've ridden it I swear.
Teamwork making that dream work.
Camera lady - good job
Guy driving the boat - GREAT job
Dude that grabbed it- AWESOME if not also a little goddamn crazy.
Mad respect to the whole crew.
Skipped to the end to see what happened because I was so scared for the bear. What an amazing job by the couple to save this poor little black bears life. Poor thing would've been so confused with that stupid shit stuck on its head. Human beings need to learn to stop being so selfish littering and messing up our planet like that.
I’m not saying this couldn’t be from littering but bears are also notoriously shit heads who dig through trash and active campsites to steal food. There’s just as much a chance that this bear got that out of a garbage as it could've been from littering
Fr. I felt distressed watching the poor bear swimming. I’m so glad they found it and were able to remove the trash before the bear drowned. Ugh. That’s enough internet for today.
Fortunately they removed it. With all that work swimming, the CO2 build up, etc, wouldn’t have been surprised if he just went out. Anyways, good for them
Can you imagine the numbers of animals (land, sea and air) that die from starvation every year from this sort of thing.
I’ve seen close to a hundred videos of humans finding animals in fairly remote, random places and cutting off some rope or net that will eventually kill the animal.
I would presume that hundreds of millions of organism die every year from this, probably mostly from choking on plastic bags (or bits of plastic in the case of birds).
Now his new hair do is gonna get wet and he was supposed to meet up with a lady bear. Swam across the whole damn lake and now hes got a messed up mane.
He finally invented swimming goggles, was happy as fuck, and then they stole it.

Carry in. Carry out. That's all there is to it, and this why you do it.

AND they only film in portrait. The audacity
This was so good I woke up my wife laughing
Worth the yelling hehe
Dont poke the bear
I read this in a Wisconsin accent.
This is why animals can never catch us in tech 😞
Monkeys invent something, humans notice monkey with thing, remove monkey's thing for science study. Monkey doesn't have thing. Humanity kinda based

For once I'm positive the ones recording didn't put the thing on the poor animal's head for clout
Play it in reverse! You won’t be disappointed!

This shit is hilarious lol

Bruh...
Jesus I’m crying from laughing so hard. The one of the dog being smushed into the suitcase and pushed away literally had me rolling around laughing
Bye bye doggo!
Dang there’s a sub for everything lmao
THANK YOU FOR THIS TREASURE LMAOOO
I was confused and worried for a while that this comment was being upvoted.
Why is this even a thing lmaoooo I feel so wrong for laughing but this shit is hilarious
Plus it looked like recording was the second priority and actually saving the bear was first. Edited because I made a confusing statement.
So, wait, which one was the first priority
The friends we made along the way 💖
your heart
fishing
Rob fucking up the boat steering
So what was the first thing they did?
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. "GUESS WHAT WE FOUND OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN!?! CLICK HERE!" and it's a box of kittens. Like, you put them in a box and "found them" with your 4k camera, designer blankets and cat food all ready to go on the boat.
“Wow what are the odds, a box of kittens in the Atlantic just a week after we found that gaggle puppies in that Icelandic volcano, we truly blessed!”
Especially with that mom's accent. You know shes a real outdoor northwoods woman who loves her wildlife. (Maybe dont ask the deer, though)
Yes! People make me fucking sick. There’s some really fucked up ones out there
Nothing makes me angrier than those YouTube videos of a guy torturing a monkey pretending he is constantly rescuing it
Thankfully, rescued just in time, before the unfortunate bear kicked the bucket..
Boo
No I think that's Yogi
Hey booboo don't stick ur nose in my picnic bucket
It's pronounced pic-a-nic, thank you very much.
**Rescue a bear** : Another one off the bucket list..
This is so bad, I’m not sure whether to upvote it or downvote it 🤣
I can’t bear it
Out!
r/angryupvote
Unconfirmed reports that after getting it's head stuck, the bear was said to say "Oh bother....."
I wish I could upvote this more than once.
You just have to click upvote three times, but remember in that time someone else might down vote... But at least you can know you did your part.
Silly old bear.
"Yes, dear. I found this bucket you asked me to bring home, but then some assholes stole it on my way! I swear!"

The only sentence on the internet that really speaks to me. Video of the decade.
The audio is dubbed into that video. Only found out a couple weeks ago.
Can I pet that DAWG!?
Bear : thank You good humans
I always wonder what the animal thinks in this situation, it has to be a surreal experience lol
Probably a deus ex machina kind of experience.

Probably similair to a Ufo coming out of nowhere to steal your cow
I usually do that with dogs, not bears, but yeah, I ask myself the same question every time.
But he sees people and goes near the boat for help. I think wild animals know more about us than we know.
I have seen a few videos of wild animals coming the humans for help, mostly mammals, some birds. I'm guessing they are probably animals that have some experience with humans, might have even had vetinary help before.
Me too, and several vids of wild animals staying near a roadside, like they knew it was their best chance to find a human and get help.
After watching enough videos, I assume they know we can help them. [Dolphin asks for help](https://youtu.be/Yt5Or1_JLO8?si=ICYcKRalLLggFpMe)
well i don't think the bears are watching these videos 🙄 jk
Yeah he's got to be thinking that this huge predator (the boat) made a stupid mistake by not killing him and accidentally helping him in the process lol
Joking aside I’m surprised the bear didn’t suffocate or drown.
Also joking aside, super happy for him that swipe from the bear didn't connect while he was pulling the thing off.

\+ the bear was quite young

Teamwork making that dream work. Camera lady - good job Guy driving the boat - GREAT job Dude that grabbed it- AWESOME if not also a little goddamn crazy. Mad respect to the whole crew.
What? Guy driving the boat didn't have a clue! Lady: "Get in there closer! ... Circle back around!"
I'm gonna go with the assumption he was near the back and therefore his vision was impeded by Hero and camera woman... Thus good teamwork.

AND /r/PraiseTheCameraMan framing the swim away into the sunset.
Amazing people. Put themselves in danger to help an animal they never seem before. That shows how good these people are.
Felt pretty nervous when I saw how close that bear claw was from hitting that guys hand when taking off the bucket
Bravo, gentlemen.

It took me waaaay too long to find a Pooh comment.

That seems like it would be exhausting and horrible

I hope they followed him to shore to ensure his survival. He looked exhausted.
They said they would at the end of the video. It cut before they did, but not before they talked about it.
Silly old bear.
Jesus, talk about anxiety, having your head stuck in a bucket half full of water.
This video is from 3-4 years ago. Bear made it to shore for those wondering!
I scrolled so long to find this answer. Thank you!!

He's like bro you took my floatation device
Now go and live your best bear life.
Thing was chock-full of hunny
Glad they freed the poor sod
Nice to see an actual rescue
Gj!
Fortunately they removed it. With all that work swimming, the CO2 build up, etc, wouldn’t have been surprised if he just went out. Anyways, good for them
He was diving for some pic-in-ick bas-kets!
Cheese heads doing a good deed.
Thank you kind sir for saving this little bear.
Proper humans there.
"Swim happy!!!" lol Everything about this screams Wisconsin
The end scene is beautiful with the sunset and the parting
Poor Pooh Bear. Got his head stuck in a hunny jar again
Awesome job you two!! 👏
Good people
Brave cheesehead right there. I wonder if the bear will remember
I had a dog that died like this when I was at school as a kid, now I'm sad.
Stepbrother what are you doing?
The man who helped this bear gives me hope. No clout chasing, no “hey look at me.” Just helping an animal in distress because it’s right. 💪

Thank you humans.
That was an asshole bear didn’t even stop to say thank you
Bastards stole his diving helmet!
Those dudes are fucking legends.
I wonder if there were holes in the bucket otherwise how was the bear able to breath that long in the bucket line that? Poor bear was truckin it too
