The calmest person meeting the calmest bear on this planet

That guy handled that situation very well.

Closing the trunk was such a survivor move.

[BigSnakey]

Slowly backed up, made loud noise, and stayed facing the bear - never taking eyes off it. This dude did everything right

[angelalorenz]

This mother bear was very calm for having her baby near by. She just wanted him to keep backing away and he did the right thing

[Ginoso-cc]

Everyone talking about the guy, but the mama bear also handled that pretty well!
She was chill af

He immediately started singing “If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands 👏 👏“ bears love that one!

A big mama with a little cub 2 feet away from you? Buy a lottery ticket, bro.

The cub at the end explains the whole situation ! Glad he made it out without getting hurt.

“If you’re happy and you know it” saves yet another person.

I’m impressed how calm that dude was 👌🏼

[AuskaDezjArdamaath]

Well done on that guy. Don’t turn your back to them, make yourself big, make noise and keep calm. Got himself out of a sticky situation.

[LimpyLegolas]

He didn’t even flinch when the bear lunged at him. This is the dude you want with you in the apocalypse.

[shermanwright]

I can't live in a place where a bear can just walk up on me like that

[cynthiahanson-darwish]

That was a Momma with a baby, could’ve gone south real quick. He handled it nicely!

[christophersuttonsr]

The calmest bear encounter I have ever seen. This guys has nerves of steel!!

[sashasandra]

Animals feel your energy and emotions. Calm, tall, back up slowly but surely, make noise, appear big, calm, more calm, get into a safe place. Count your blessings!

[gillygilly]

Omg, this guy remained so calm & collected. I would have crapped my pants! 😂
