But, even for a thrill seeker like that, I&#8217;d have to imagine he was nearly soiling himself once he realized that Yogi was interested in more than a picnic basket that sunny day.<\/p>\n<p>After watching the video multiple times, I couldn&#8217;t help but be impressed by the climbers ability to physically fight an attacking bear. He was raining down with hammer fists and heels kicks of fury that even Joe Rogan would approve.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-to-stay-safe-from-bears-when-hiking-in-the-woods\">How To Stay Safe From Bears When Hiking In The Woods<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/MYOa2sUPoYbeM\/giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The US National Park Service website suggests boldly verbally identifying yourself, making yourself appear as large as possible, and\u00a0 suggests picking up small children when encountering bears. Carrying bear spray or other forms of protection can also detour potential threats. However, if all else fails just go Rambo style like our friend in Japan who is now a certified legend at any outdoor shop he strolls into.
