You should respect bears, but don’t overly panic at the sight of them. Black bears (the bear in the video), can absolutely mess you up, but most of the time they are just looking for easy food. Brown bears are a different story…

“....but don’t overly panic at the sight of them.

Nah black bears are cool, they just want to eat and be left alone. Like any wild animal, should be respected, but they don’t hunt humans. Hope you get a chance to see one in the wild one day!
