A woman on a solo kayaking trip in Alaska had a terrible day when a large black bear decided to tear apart her kayak.
She recorded the interaction in the video below.
Watch as she pulls out her bear spray, but the bear continues to rip apart the kayak. Note that she’s in a remote part of Alaska and is fearing that she will be stranded if the bear destroys her vessel.
You can read her full description of events below the video.
It’s almost as if the bear deliberately destroyed her kayak because she deployed her bear spray. King of funny…😂
Mary Rose Grace: “During a solo kayak trip, intended to go from from Ketchikan, Alaska to Petersburg, Alaska, a bear attacked my kayak.
This incident occurred outside of a US Forest Service cabin in Berg Bay, Wrangell District, Alaska. I had just carried my tent, food, and all my gear into the cabin to dry while I went on a 4 mile hike that begins just behind the cabin.
I heard something outside as I ate my lunch, and well, I never got to go on that hike. This video is taken 5 minutes after the attack began, he continued to gnaw on it for another 5 or 10 after the video ends.
Shortly after the bear left and I drug the kayak back to the cabin door step. Then I swam to the S/V anchored in the bay. They did not have their radio on and I feared I would be stranded!
The German flagged S/V Caledonia took me and my things to Wrangell but headed home to Ketchikan on the ferry Monday!”
