Why’d you choose an Alzheimer’s patient to discuss world problems ? LMFAO DO YOU COMMIES REALLY THINK WE ARE THAT DUMB
“HEYY BEAR… HEY BEAR” Bear: “Im coming I’m coming, just wait for me”
🤣😆👍 this caught me off guard, thanks for the laugh
Lol...this one's the most underrated comment. 😂😂😂
You are funny
I just wanted to hang out 🥹
I come to you,no come to me...I COME TO YOU
Don't you just hate when you just happen to be walking in the same direction as someone in front of you and the person in front of you thinks you're following them.... This bear gets it.
Poor bear
I honestly thought the same thing, it's like that that one scenario of a black man "following" a woman at night lol
@@randyrandom3358 why a black man? I thought all men were uncomfortable to be in this situation in case it come across weird or dangerous. Have a wonderful day x
@@Bear_the_shepherd it's people have to add race to every thing now
@@Bear_the_shepherd It's a skit from chewkz I watched a while ago lol and yes, all men who's "going in the same direction" especially at night gets self conscious about what the person ahead of them are thinking
I love the “go home” what if hes heading back there now 😂😂
He just getting a snack along the way 💀
The bear wishes the people would go home. They're in the bear's habitat.
He is home!!!
Love how dad keeps his composure and protects his family.
Yeah, men are privileged.
I hope they remember that.
But if he was smarter he would have had bear spray at the ready and a backup pistol...just sayin
@@michaelarchangelthehammerI just assumed from the family’s demeanor that they had bear spray but were too far away in the video to use it. A pistol wouldn’t have stopped a bear. It might have irritated it or surprised it. Bear spray is specifically made to deter bears.
@@awlabrador 'bear spray in one hand and backup pistol in the other'....if I have to explain this to you...I recommend you play dead...we'll see how that goes.....(These critters cover distance quick and you don't want to be reaching/fumbling for anything when that time comes)
Very smart family, starts filming because they know camera man always lives
Underrated comment 😂

@@nomnom13254it’s seriously not actually. It’s literally the most overused and overrated comment ever written.
😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
"His parents : Panicking" "The kid: Can we play dead now "
LOL
Bro they didnt panic lol
If you play dead, you dead
@@Shadow_audio LMAO
The parents knew what they were doing. Waving their arms, yelling, walking calmly and not running. Great example of how to handle this situation.
“Go home”. It is home. The bear is probably telling the humans to go home.
If you see a bear: Black bear: it probably won’t attack you (unless it has cubs) just keep making loud noises, walk fast, but don’t run, and keep an eye on it. Also if you have bear/pepper spray, take it out, just to be safe. Grizzly bear: don’t look away from it, and back up slowly. Take out your bear/pepper spray. If it starts chasing you, play dead, covering your neck with your hands. Cougar (cause why not): make your self look as big as possible to try and scare it away. Take out your bear/pepper spray. In any of these cases DO NOT RUN. These animals are much faster than the average human. Also, if your on a hike in bear/cougar country, make sure to make a lot of noise so that the animals know you’re there.
If it's black fight back, If it's brown lay down, If it's white say goodnight
Them: “Hey bear! Go home!” Bear: “I am home! YOU go home!”
😅😂
Bwahahahaha!!!!
😂
Exactly
I just spit out my drink because of this comment 😂
"Can we play dead now" most inspirational words ever 😂
😂😂❤
He is my spirit animal.. 😂
Those inspirational words will leave u crippled or dead
Can’t tell bc of distance but playing dead only works on brown bears.
Legend
Best thing is to stay together and make yourselves look as big and intimidating as possible.
Me 5'6 ... impossible
LOL i felt that way about her screaming to
That's what I was saying in my room
I can’t believe how calm these parents are!
They sucked. • mom in her annoying high pitched voice signaling distress in a retreat • Dad bluff and then immediately moving away. Terrible sence for nature. The dad drops kids off with mom, stays and slowly approaches bear before , sprinting towards it with a rock 🪨. Works 100% of the time on all animals in the USA
what was with all the smiling? Maybe the mom was nervous smiling like some people do. Regardless of the statistics, I wouldn’t be carrying around three toddlers where bears are known to roam, without bear spray or a rifle, just in case
"GO HOME!" "b*** I am home"
Lmaoooo right
IKR!
no, his/her home is their den. The forest is for everyone to enjoy.
@@brikhouse22 Do you realize how stupid you sound right now
@@brikhouse22 sounds about white
Bear: “Bro I walk this route every week don’t be posting me like Im some stalker you don’t even live here”
Ikr it's his home 😅 but to be fair this bear is *definitely* stalking this family
😄
Lol true bro when the human father said “Go home.” I was like “you go home like that’s the bears home.” Lol. 😂
This is such an underrated comment
I was thinking the same. He is not chasing them. Just walking
"Hey, Bear! Hey!!" Bear: Ffs I'm TRYING to keep up.
You took ur kids to the woods and didn’t bring a gun. Very smart
They did the dad shot the bear in the face, there was another video it got deleted
Hooray
Canadians. Poor saps
You can't tell if this take place in America in just this clip
Theyre canadians. Those poor souls
Bears just like “they keep calling me over and walking away it’s so frustrating!”
That's why in Bear country you always need to have a weapon on a lot of times if you just shoot in the air though take off running
🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😅
Haha
😂😂
@@untitledproduction5153 unless it actually is hurting the bear i dont think you should shoot it,that'd probably make it mad as shit,i would be too.
"can we play dead now?" LOL! i'm dead 😂.
Griffin wants to lay down and wait for it to get close and sneak up behind it.. That's something I would totally do at his age. My mom was telling me there was this doctor who had a lion back in the 70's when I was a knee high and other people would never go near it.. Here I am of course in the cage with the thing trying to feed it she says her heart stopped until the big thing took the food and started licking me. She said it got out once, someone complained and the towns people all hunted it down and killed it even though it didn't hurt anyone.. It just got out. But as my mom says, this lion was huge.
Idiots. Stop making attractive noises and moves. Stupids. Your kids have more sense than you.
listen to the kids!!
Are you? Really?
Playing? HMMMM
Hiking in the woods and telling the bear to go home 😂😂😂
Everyone stay calm we ate our yogurt and granola this morning so we have enough energy to run back to our Subaru Forester
Hahaha!😂
You know they have one LOL!
"Can we play dead now?" This kid is the biggest pessimist and I'm living for it.
no its a tactic against certain types of bears
@@beatsbycarson whoosh
Never play dead for black bears. It's essentially telling them "free meal buddy!"
@@evanlecours5612 i cant tell what bear it is so i dont know
@@evanlecours5612 Agreed, apparently there’s a tactic for each type of bear you encounter: play dead for a grizzly, and pray to God if it’s either a black bear or polar bear UPDATE: If it’s a black bear, realistically you can get away from it by asserting dominance (E.g., yelling at it, slowly backing away, throwing rocks at it) - it should leave you alone and flee. Just try not to be too aggressive or too quiet around it, otherwise it’s animals instincts are going to detect you as their next meal (especially if food has been scarce that time of the year).
Hikers: “Hey bear go home” Bear: “Wtf this is home”
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 NI
Hikers: Hey bear, go home Bear: wtf? This is home, YOU go home!
This is home.
Bear: YOU go home
@@AngryMooseS117 bru lmao 😂
Moving off trail and allowing the bear to pass would have been a smart choice. Bear probably walks that way every day and just wants to get along on his way.
no chance I’m ever going hiking without a gun if there’s even a remote chance of seeing a bear.
These exact people will still tell you that you don't need a gun for anything. I almost guarantee these people don't own a gun, and even after this will say "it's fine, we've dealt with bears before"
@@ryanmccarty4474poor kids. Their father is a moron.
You can’t really bring one in Canada not super feasible legally, without a tag
"Can we play dead now?" LMAO THAT KID HAS TRAINED HIS ENTIRE LIFE JUST FOR THAT MOMENT
So true
Stolen
If it’s brown lay down (except for grizzly), if it’s black fight back. I would suggest confirming by looking it up yourselves, but for brown bears you would play dead, and for black bears you make yourself loud and big to scare it away
lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Human : “Hey bear go home” Bear: “I am home , you go home”
Exactly. This people are idiots
Accurate
Biz de dünyadan değil miyiz?
🤣🤣🤣😆😆🤣🤣🤣
😂
Bear: get off my lawn 😂
Funny thing is the bear IS home 😂
“GO HOME” “My sister in christ, this IS my home, YOU go home.”
Relatable
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣
😆
💀
" go home!!!!" Bear: only the Karens of the animal kingdom -humans- will accuse you of trespassing in your own home.😤
"Can we play dead now" 😂🤣
Griffin walk faster please 😂😅
😂😂😂
I found my pfp twin
😂
Hello my ywins
The way she says hey bear it’s almost like she’s inviting him
The parents have literally no idea what to do. Yet they still decided to hike on a trail with zero foot traffic in a place where bears live. Wow! 💀💀💀
With no bear spray or horn
@@RevCeleste nah they were ok they had 2 little distractions they could throw if the bear started chasing😊
@@myhatzuluI am literally dying of laughter 😐
“Go home!” “That’s what I’m trying to do but you keep yelling at me”

Yea he's his way home too💀
“Go home!” The bear Stoned af: “bro my house is THAT way Lmao”
Oh! Home is forward. Right.
😂😂😂
Son: “can we play dead now.” had me dying 😂😂😂 Edit: Thanks for all the likes. Im truly honored.
Pure savagery!😆
Seriously he was like I don't think that's the way y'all
Boy was so Not tired but lazy, He rather Play dead than hiking. LOL
LOL
Griffin knew the assignment.
"can we play dead now?😮💨" Hahahaha what a smart little boy. 🥹 So cute.
Actually that’s a black bear so you’re supposed to fight back and be intimidating to a black bear if it threatens you. Not play dead.
Bear wanted to walk on the trail like you guys!
"can we play dead now?" that kid was ready to give up and I feel that
No that’s actually the good thing to do. It’s said the dont attack if ur dead (maybe)
@@jamescool2243 That is the right thing to do if you are dealing with a brown bear. For a black bear the best thing to do would be to get away but if that isn't possible it is better to try to scare it off/fight back. If it's a polar bear the best thing to do is probably just accepting death.
@@jamescool2243 please don't spread information that can get people killed. especially when you don't know what you're talking about.
@@cars0950 yea- I remember reading a comment once that went like- if it’s brown lay down, if it’s black fight back, and if it’s white then goodnight.
@@izxodii getting racist here
Mom: Go home!!! Bear: Baby, I live here...
Ollo

I’m so happy You got l
I’m so happy you 😅l
Props to the parents for staying calm and doing everything you’re supposed to do as well as not doing what you shouldn’t (like running).
"Ain't nobody following you, my home is that way" -The bear probably
Yeah that doesn't work against a black bear
“HES FOLLOWING US”.. “HEYY BEAR” Bear: “i walk this trail every morning”
I hate to say that,, but, when she say "go home". The bear is actually "at" his home.. May peace all around us.
Fr😂😂😂
💀💀
But you are the one calling him
lol lol what type of dumbness is this lol
That awkward moment when people think you're stalking them when in actually you're just headed in the same direction they are and you're just trying to keep your distance.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the bear always takes that trail. After all, it’s more convenient than trekking through the woods.
Now you know what it’s like being black in america
Lmao there’s equally just a chance that the bear was stalking them to attack them especially with 2, 20 pound kids lmao. Yeah pretty stupid and ignorant to say their just heading in the same direction 😂🤡
@@independenceboyd2042 🤣 shut up
Wrong!!
Stay calm, don't run, and dial 357
This family is well educated on wildlife it seems they know what they are doing thats good especially as a family
They are VERY lucky no angry sow mama or truly hungry bear. 🙄
"Can we play dead now?" 😂 Lil man too serious about the story
"cAnBw wE PaluY dEad nOaow" kids are stupid
I would’ve been screamingggg if I was him!!! 😭😭😭
@@thedouglaspodcast no one ask now go to Facebook and send minion memes
Also if they play dead he would probably be first one to laugh out loud by the bear's lick
@@justinrankine9543 bro what 💀
Wife - Hey, hey , Go Home ! Bear - WTF , I am home 😂
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
Humans are hard headed to know that
As compared to bears that bear looks nice actually. I think he just want their food in their bag. I dont think these people are very smart honestly
I think he is just using the path lol..head is down just going for a walk to..
🐻: I'm the host and you're the guest 😂😂😂
stay strapped whenever you’re walking out in nature
The little boy clearly does not understand the real danger they're in. He's thinking it's a normal part of the hike.
“Can we play dead now?” Little Man was like “plan a isn’t working. Initiate plan b.”
Little man wants to die.
Ikr!!!
lil homie just got tired of walking uphill and was ready to stop right then and there lol
See what disney movies do lol over the hedge, ice age ect
😂😂😂
that awkward moment when you’re walking the same direction with a stranger
So not just me then? Hate it when that happens. Especially as I'm a fast walker and it makes it seem like I'm chasing down the person in front.
Fr, even if I'm in a hurry i go a different way to avoid this.
草
and they yell at you "hey!! Go home "
Nightmare for an introvert
And that is exactly why you always carry. “Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.”
That’s what I was thinking this whole video 😂
Hick lol “let me shoot the bear that is just walking on the trail like me”, ever heard of overkill? Or bear spray? Or bear bells? No because you joined in 2019 and are a child repeating his daddies opinions? Ok
@@Joeysaladslover good luck with your bells bub lol
@@vikingbraid7515 thank you, they’re literally one of the most effective methods of deterring bear attacks. Along with bear spray and, ya know, not being a dumbass? People usually don’t need a gun if they’re not dumbasses, crazy right?🤯🤯
@@Joeysaladsloverok the guy said better have and not need it than need it and not have it. He didnt say he was gonna shoot. You sensitive baby. You should have criticized the family with two babies who are more worried about filming instead of holding the boys hand or picking him up. Walk faster my as$. Get your $h straight lol
Smart to say "don't run".
The bear : "Shhh.…. We've been trying to contact you regarding your cars extended warranty"
The most original idea of all!
Are people *still* actually saying this?
@@PiXie232 what's wrong with saying it?
Idk how these always make me laugh but I just love them XD
Hahaha, great comment.
Bear: “I’d like to discuss your car’s extended warranty policy”
lol good one 😂👍
It's trying to discuss their Life's warranty policy lol
I laughed so ridiculously hard 🤣 I haven't been feeling well so that was my first hardy laugh in a while. Ty
🤣😂
I wonder what exactly we should do when this happend. Can anyone tell me?
The scariest part is that they have two kids with them. I would never want to be in this situation
“Don’t run!” “Walk faster!!!” Poor kid lmao he just wants to play dead💀
Ikr
Ahshnalzvbd
To funny
"Can we play dead now? Can we play dead?" 😂😂
ok this makes me laugh
"Can we play dead now?" "Griffin, walk faster please" "okay 🥺"
the difference in your walk will determined of we play dead or not play
Bear: Yes Soon
Taking a walk with your kid in a forest where bears are present and your car is nowhere to be seen.thats fkn frightening 🥶
For the people saying guns, I say bear spray. A gun will not kill a big bear instantly, especially if you never fired it in your life, especially for self defense, under stress. Bear spray on the other hand has a big spread area, will surely "hit" something. On top of this, the bear will get the idea to stay away from people next time.
Why would you have a firearm with you if you never fired it in your life and there are plenty of firearms out there that would do the trick.
The best defense is to not go hiking in Bear Country with your three little children making all of you vulnerable
Her: "Hey! Hey! Go Home!" Bear: "I am going home, My cave is that way"
Lmao 💀
Yea felt sorry for the bear
😂😂😂😂😂🐻🐻🐻🐻
@@Gauravkumar-jm4ve why?
Ha-ha
Lol. Little guy; "Can we play dead now?" There's a whole Steven King novel in one sentence.
After reading what you said, I was thinking that would actually make a great title for a horror movie! CAN WE PLAY DEAD NOW? C O M I N G S O O N !
In King novels, the little kids are often the first to die.
Bear: "Are those people calling me...?🤔 I better go over there and see what they want.😒"
"You wanted to see a bear." A.k.a "Just so everyone knows this wasn't my idea"
Humans: "go home bear!!!" Bear: "...are you drunk?"
underrated
I thought the same thing! Bear: TF? I am home
i love the lack of concern this child is feeling! he feels 100% safe with his parents, even when they are being followed by something that is worrying mom and dad.
Thats because the mom and dad are stupid TEACH THE CHILDREN DANGER BEFORE YOU GET TO IT STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES
He doesn't feel safe lol. He's not thinking correctly, for him not to realizing this is serious. This kid is a clear issue
Bears tend to be drawn to food Children are just that
I don't know, seems like someone who doesn't understand the kind of danger he's in. Feeling safe when you aren't is a disaster waiting to happen.
It's the ignorance of youth.
He'd probably stop following you if you stopped calling him by his name.
You don't want him following you but you keep calling him!
*"Hey! Hey! Go Home!"* _"That's exactly what I'm doing ma'am, my home is in that direction."_
Yougot me
Funny funny 😂

“Go home bear” Bear: awkwardly walks home the same way they’re going.🤧 Lmao he’s trying his best guys let him be.
"Dude my flats down that way just let me pass you"
He is at home😉😄
Bear Spray and try not to panic the kids next time. 😉
@@knottchu6159 they weren’t panicking the kids LOL. Just when a bear is following you you tell your kid to walk faster because you know it’s a bear. You would’ve done the same thing. And when you see a bear you make noise.
@@tyleirain9457 : Understood on all of those points including “don’t run” which the parents said to the kids. However, you could still hear a bit of panic with the Mom especially. Kids tend to reflect parents emotions. Overall, good job though.
That bear is just cute, fluffy and indifferent to them all
Dad took charge and kept everyone calls… Because he knows he’s the one that would have to sacrifice himself😂
That’s the Bears exercise route, he doesn’t care about y’all 😂

I know. White women just yell at anyone they are in the way of -COMANCHE NATION
🤣🤣🤣
Tell ‘em
Kid: "Can we play dead now" Me as a Dad: "in a minute we won't need to play dead if you don't start walking faster"
Hahaha I parent in the same way. Sometimes you need to detail the reality in a lighthearted way.
Stop...I cant!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Something my mom would say
🤣
Lmao i can see my dad doing the same. His favourite thing is to always do this when were going to the gas station: Me: "Dad are we here to fill the car up with gas?" Dad: "No." Me: "Why are we here then?" Dad: "Because this car runs on diesel."
Bear is home! You go home! Lol I love how the little boy is so unbothered by it, his parents are freaking out and he’s like ugghh do we play dead now? 😂
Lol those are smiles of fear and regret of bringing your 3 small kids in the woods filled with bears. You can see it in the moms face she is trying to hold it together and she did a good job not to panic her kids.
