This was the first time I'd actually seen an interview with him about the event. I think the guy's got a realistic perspective about the whole thing. Worth 17 minutes of your life to watch his commentary. Real name Eric The sharpest hammer in the box of crayons.

BUT if armed properly I could have had a decent chance to survive.....Pump shot gun with bear loads to me personally would have given me even to better odds of not being hurt. Bear spray ! I am not to sure of it. But this guy went thru (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and survived to tell the tale.

Good to get the story straight from the the horses mouth. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement!

After listening to his account, if it happened to him it could happen to anyone. Someone said he had a "Big Set". Boy howdy, like magnum size! Thanks for posting the link, well worth the 17 minutes.

Various dire situations where a person almost was killed but survived to tell the tale. One was a girl who fell out of a boat and was dragged under by an alligator, another was a guy who got his arm caught in a grain elevator, several were bear attacks. Two were in AK and one in the lower 48. Three bear attack survivors, but pretty beat up and close to death. We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.
