Hikers Have the Most Unexpected Reaction To Seeing Bears on an Alaska Trail

This would not be our reaction at all.

Nothing beats a day out on the trail with your friends, hiking and seeing the beauty of the world. Oftentimes, you'll see more than just views. You’re probably going to see squirrels and birds and spiders, but what happens if you’re on a hike and see a bear?

TikTok user @chasing.luminance was actually on a trail in Alaska when he very closely ran into a bear. SO scary, right? Well, apparently not for this TikToker. He has the most unexpected reaction, which worked out in his favor. Check it out!

O.M.G. How in the world did these people stay so calm?! We know you’re supposed to stay very calm in this situation, but there is no way we would’ve been able to do that. You’d catch us running and screaming as quickly as possible in the opposite direction. LOL!

“Dude, get out of there. That grizzly bear might eat you for lunch,” said @mariakrier32mariatia. That’s what we’re saying! We’d be out of there before those bears even got a sniff of us. LOL! Or at least we’d try to get out of there ASAP!

Another TikTok user, @redrumrhapsody, commented, “Note to self: all bears really want is for you to just say hello.” HA! We wish we could say hi to bears like it’s no big deal. But the truth behind them saying “Hey bear” in the video is just to create noise. He said in another video that it’s important to make sure the bears know you’re there without startling them. A very important note to take with you if you’re ever in bear country!
