The bear just wanted a little pepper spray seasoning to make the kayak more delicious.

Not so much a kayaktivist as a kayakatarian…

She was apparently in the midst of a 107-mile journey from Ketchikan to Petersburg, Ala.

“Ala.” is the AP-style abbreviation for Alabama, not Alaska. No place in Alabama is 107 miles from Ketchikan.

Good thing she didn’t thank the bear for not eating her.

“why are you here in the woods that you live in bear, why?”

You must not be from Alaskatucky.

“Bear, stop that! Stop breaking my kayak, please! Gosh darn it!”

LOL…I think I’d be saying lots of things in this situation, but “Gosh darn it” is absolutely not one of them.

“Come here” so I can spray you in the face with capsicum again.

Judging from the accent I’d imagine she’s an Alaskan and really should no better. hell, I’m a city boy and I know better.

I thought it was Marge Gunderson for a minute or so…

I can’t help the laughing…what ever impelled this delusional woman to go on a trip like this? Bear is not a Disney character…Bear doesn’t like whining. Suggest this traveller not go into the wild, and certainly not video her hysteria.

Sounded like some sorta Klondike versions of:
“Cotton, Cotton. Babs won’t give me my eggs.
Cotton, please come in here and give me my eggs.”
Amirite?

At first, I was somewhat sympathetic to her.
But after 2 minutes of that god-awful shrieking and dopey handling
of the situation, I was ready to go out there and wreck her kayak myself!!

exasperated · October 1, 2015, 5:25pm

You let the aggressive bear eat the f’in kayak.

callmeeric · October 1, 2015, 5:27pm

It’s like it was the first time that bear had ever heard the word please or something.

silas1898 · October 1, 2015, 5:27pm

Why didn’t she just shoot it?

For a rugged Alaskan individualist, she’s really a wimpy whiner like Palin.

exasperated · October 1, 2015, 5:27pm

Reminds me of how I sound trying to get my kids ready for school in the morning.

That answers one age old question…“Does a bear take shit in the woods?”
