Life in Alaska - Part XVI

Tim was a fool and a braggart that thrived on media attention. He always said that it would be an honor for him to wind up as bear scat. Sadly, the video camera was running as the bear attacked and killed him, and his words during the attack were, shall we say, different than his previously stated position regarding said scat.

On the other hand, Charlie's been doing this for 20 years and it's only recently the newspaper here discovered it, then they flew out to his place (against his wishes) and documented the whole thing. Then they published it in the paper, against his wishes, and he got in all kinds of trouble. Now people are at risk because they want to go out and see the "cuddly bears" at Charlie's cabin.

Watch the Youtube clip... at one point the cameraman asks "how are you feeling today?" and Charlie replies "scared."

That reveals a world of difference between a man with a healthy respect for bears and one who saw them as his "brothers".
