What a fascinating man and story. We have a 35 acre mountain property in the middle of nowhere. We know there are black bears there so we don't go anywhere without the bear spray when we are outdoors. I've studied a lot about what to do, but Brent put a whole different light on it. I learned a bunch more that I didn't know before. Thank you so much for having this man on.

The survival skills he teaches clearly saved him. Absolutely miraculous

Thank you Brent for serving our country! Im also a Vietnam Veteran Navy Pilot 🧑🏻‍✈️with duty at a training squadron in the US , God Bless You🙏🏻🇺🇸

Another hero to admire, Brent Hudson was a great guest and story-teller! His harrowing experience followed by his intact love for Bears shows us that he is a beautiful human, inside and out. Thanks, Melissa & Jeremy, for introducing us to Mr. Hudson.

His stories were so captivating the time just flew by. Thank you for having him on.

He doesn’t even look or act like he’s in his 70’s. He did great at telling his story, can’t believe he survived a Kodiak bear attack!

What a rare and genuine man. God bless him for sharing things that help other survivors of such things.

I live in Alberta. The problem with bear safety is that too many people have too many opinions.

Wow! What an amazing story. Yes, God is great and always with those who love him.🥰

Living in Montana we deal with bears getting into chicken coops and other things. A friend works for fish wildlife and parks and was out documenting grizzlies in the area and was attacked. Suffered severe head injuries but managed to survive and walked 2 miles out to call for help. Being bear aware is a serious thing.

I Love watching. Yall are so calm and enjoyable. I love Idaho. That’s how I found y’all. Searching videos of Idaho. Idaho has a very special place in my broken heart. My fiancé proposed to me in a fire tower Airbnb in Fernwood. He had a second home in Fernwood and he would go every year in October and stay usually until December. Our trip together was magical. Early on October 24th, 2018 he told me to get dressed because we weren’t hunting that day. I thought he was taking me to Walmart! He had told me it was around 45 minutes away. We wound up at this fire tower and he had all of our stay planned out. As I was looking around in awe at the beautiful view, I turned to him and he was on one knee crying, holding the most beautiful diamond rind out to me. I was in shock and burst out crying. We were both ugly crying and laughing with joy. Little did we know a month later he would be in the emergency room in Cartersville Ga with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma and 2 weeks later he passed away. Ten days before our wedding which he had planned on surprising me to occur on Orange Beach in Alabama. He passed away on December 3, 2018. He was 59. A hunter practically from a very early age and this man y’all are interviewing reminds me a lot of Mark. It’s been a very long and hard 5 1/2 years. Losing your mate is the second hardest grief with losing your child/children being the worst. Unfortunately I have several friends who have lost children. Seeing their struggle is heartbreaking. Thank you for your channels. I usually cry while watching but it’s therapeutic because I miss Idaho so much and to live it vicariously through yall is such a special moment for me.

.. Thank You for this interview ... A horrific story no one wants to encounter ...

Fantastic story teller. My first book report as a city kid in Denver in the 3rd grade, 1967 was about grizzlies. I never had to research them 3:47 again. At that time they became my favorite subject. Their intelligence is fascinating. I am so glad Brent survived his attack and enlightens people on survival around bears. God bless hi

GREAT INTERVIEW!!! PLEASE be SAFE on your land...i always Worry about you and your family on your Property and Especially when you go Hiking out in the Woods on those Trails!!! God Bless you and your Family!!! Your my #1 Utube Show!!! Beautiful, Beautiful Family!!!!!

I loved this interview!! He’s a compelling storyteller!! We need more storyteller’s. Seems like a dying art.

My son lives in West Yellowstone, Montana and there are several grizzlies as you can imagine. He lives in a place where there is several cabins and his neighbor has pictures of bear tracks beside their houses. I am so paranoid of these creatures.

How did joe Rogan not book this guy on??? He loves bear stories

Another amazing hour with my favorite people. This was a very interesting, well spoken, knowledgeable guy who kept me spellbound with his miraculous escape from a 1500 lb grizzly bear in Kodiac Alaska. He was so interesting because he never paused or stammered through the entire telling of his story and the best part was that he gave God all the glory and honor for his being alive on many occasions. You guys are finding such wonderful people to be guests on your podcasts and I can hardly wait to see what’s coming next week. You may have guessed that it is your 92 yr old fan in St Augustine,Fl. that never misses one episode of your interesting life in Northern Idaho!! I love your family!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's really easy to listen to, accept and value the knowledge of a person who talks so humbly and is full of grace. Thank you for sharing ❤

This man handles such horror quite well.

Wow! I watch this with tears in my eyes how close I missed this. I'm 64 now I've been in a wheelchair a quadriplegic. In 2007 the place I was living there was a black bear that showed up in May and gone by June was never seen until next year. In 2007 I invested a lot of my money and someone another story, anyhow I went outside to look at all the trees along a ditch beside the house I planted. The bear had not been seen in several weeks. The dogs in the cages she had outback certainly would let you know there were 4 Pomeranian's in a chain-link cage. It's a beautiful day about 1 PM really hot broad daylight! I'm able to put my hand on top of a joystick in my lap using my shoulder and able to drive the chair by moving my shoulder muscles with my neck. I'm out in the flat level yard there's a cool breeze coming out of a pine thicket. I have Multiple Sclerosis in the heat makes me weak I know that I can't tolerate the heat but the breeze is always blowing from that direction through the thicket there are springs in several places it's like nature's air conditioning. Suddenly the wind stops! I looked to the sky and said, "yeah I know, it's too hot". Meaning the heat makes my weakness worse if I stay up to all I may not be to get back. I get the message. I drive across the yard, I go by the dogs they aren't barking. I drive up onto the porch could hear the phone ringing. I put my foot against the sliding door and swivel my chair to open the door. I go inside and do the same to close it and drive around the corner like making a U-turn around the wall looking at the window facing outside where I just came from. I push the button on my speakerphone with a straw sitting in a jar beside of it using my mouth. I say hello as I watch a huge black bear walk by my bedroom window exactly where I just came from. If the wind had not stopped blowing that day was really unusual I would not be telling you this story I would have experienced what you did. The more I thought about what had just happened I looked down at my lap there were a few Doritos crumbs on my lap where I had a snack earlier. I stayed by myself about 12 hours a day. I would drive up to the bar at my height and eat things like that for a snack. I can't imagine being seriously 2 minutes earlier outside being ripped from my chair while seatbelted at the waist. The chair weighs about 250 pounds so I'm quite aware what the outcome will be. For at least 5 years I've had recurring dreams of being ripped out of my chair in pieces by a black bear. Tennessee wildlife was called I reported the bear so they came and set a trap to relocate the bear. Several days went by the bear they said took the bait that never went inside for the rest. I told them I saw the bear again last night the dogs started barking. They barked completely different when it's a dear or a person. When a bear comes by there is a growl sound to their barked. I said to my nurse, turn the lights off. Her neighbor daughter-in-law called and said it just walked through their backyard. I am against the sliding door sideways looking and here it comes from my vehicle parked at the bottom of a ramp coming up onto the deck to this door. I am moving! I move across to the wall at the edge of the door where the upright freezer stands and I am leaning forward is much as I can looking around the edge of the freezer. My Cat walks out from under the table towards the door as the bear walks up to the door. He turns sideways parallel with the door and I kid you not. His back was even with the handles on the sliding door! I've never seen a bear that big I've seen them in captivity maybe it was the distance they didn't look so big but this thing was huge! I feel the same way! I think God was with me that day!

Wow, one of the best podcasts yet. GREAT JOB! I am also retired military.... His comments about Vitetnam struck home. Truth and Honesty. Thank you for having him on.

I'm an Australian who as a teenager was our version of an eagle scout at a minimum. I was an avid cadet corp member and by the time I graduated highschool a legit survivalist. I ended up travelling to northern California in early 2001 and bascially hiked various trails across a few states. During that time there were day to day times when black bears particularly would stalk me on the trail. It's interesting coming from a country that has no land animals large enough to be a threat in that situation, but I still remember what being hunted felt like. People think Australia is some landscape of death but we only have one animal here big enough & which targets humans with no concerns. The rest are typically insects and smaller reptiles and can be safely planned for.

Wow! So glad he survived to tell his story. God definitely has a plan for him

God bless you sir for counting your blessings. I retired from driving an 18 wheeler, one of the most dangerous jobs you can have these days. No incidents or accidents, praise the Lord for my blessing. But there are a few times that I should've died, but I was spared. I don't know what He has in-store for me, but I wait on the Lord.

That interview was so interesting. Thank you for having him.

Brent is one lucky man and what a horrible experience he went through and lived to talk about it ❤️🇨🇦

There is a man here in Western North Carolina who had his face ripped off by a black bear and survived. After numerous surgeries his face is still a mangled mess. We see black bear all the time walking down the streets here in town. Very thankful we don't have grizzlies or polar bears

I was a Alaska Air flight attendant and lived part of my time in Nome area and Anchorage and fell in love with Alaska Thank you for sharing your story. God blessed you sir. I have a tumor in my brain experiencing your fascinating story. 😘

Sat on the edge of my seat while he gave his story and so happy he has been blessed to survive the experience. This was an awesome episode. Thank you guys!

What an amazing story and conversation. I would agree with Brent's assessment on the bears expansion. We now have more bears in Montana than ever before in recent years. I'm talking about pre protection act. In the last decade in our community, on the east slope of the Rockey Mountains. We live approximately 30 miles out on the plains, and we have several bears in farming country. We have had bears walk right through our backyard. So, we are really experiencing this expansion firsthand. We have "you are in Bear Country" signs right in our school yards. I am recommending, this podcast to everyone in our community. We need to make sure everyone has this information especially for our children. The Fish and Game dept. is not much help except to set barrel traps for relocation to a different area only to have them return within a week. Our mountains here are full and the bears have no other place to go except east to the breaks country to survive. Loved this podcast it is absolutely vital keep up the good work. God Bless you all!

What an interesting man with a great story .... in my country New Zealand we do not have any dangerous animals or reptiles ... i cannot imagine what living with these huge beautiful creatures so close would be like

Glad he was able to survive to tell the story. We are in the bears living space. The bear identified a threat in his territory and instinctively acted. The irony is that in the end the bears assessment of the threat was real as he was ultimately killed. Human interference in bear territory can have many negative effects on bears as Brent shares his killing of bears in his camp.

Wow! What an amazing man and story he has. Thank you for giving him the opportunity to share with us.

Stories like this are why I never go in the woods. Terrifying.

Just stumbled onto this channel and I've never heard a more detailed or intriguing bear attack story.

We moved to North Eastern Washington and they released recently Grizzlies..I am seeing signs .on our poly water tank that it 8' tall and that PAW WAS HUUGE! My dog's are always with me but my firearm is Not enough power..we are on 28 acres..the neighbors garbage dumpsters are always tipped over garbage all over.. Thank you for expertise..Lord I hope I don't come across one

Mr.Hudson Thank You for your Service.! Your knowledge about bears is second to none..

Panic would of been my first reaction. Thank you for sharing how dangerous it is to run. Lay flat and cover your neck and head. All your training saved your life. God was watching over you!

Having only had black bear encounters in AK, I couldn't imagine this. I go no where up there without. It's truly the last frontier.

WOW! It seems that little by little youz guyz seem to find guests more interesting than some of the previous people you have interviewed. YOUZ GUYZ ROCK!

I throughly enjoyed this podcast. I watch a lot of bear attacks on You Tube from different podcasters. Thanks for posting this video.

I'm so happy to have this man as a friend. This interview is exactly who this man is. He's a true believer in Jesus Christ and is a genuinely great story teller. Also, even though he has trouble with both hands don't let that fool you. He's a fantastic shooter. Great interview and story!

I lived in Alaska for years. But I never felt safe there. You never knew when you might run into a bear while in the woods. Even fishing at the Russian River with many other people nearby, might find you within proximity of a bear. Alaska is not for the faint-hearted. So glad this good man survived his attack.

A great interview with an impressive person. Despite his bad experiences, whether in Vietnam or with the bears, he has not lost his faith in a superior power. A pleasure to listen to him. Greetings from Germany and God bless you

What a blessing that he glorifies Gods name first before his own! We all need to thank God for all of our blessings!!!

What a fantastic man.Thank you for having him on.I learned so much living in the mountains of Washington.We have a lot of black bears.Thank you, thank you.Thank you.God bless all of you

One of the best storytellers I’ve ever listened too. What a wonderful video ♥️ great job hosting and bless this man’s soul, he is still meant to be here!

Another fine Pod Cast, thanks for sharing with us and thank you Brent for sharing with us about your bear attack and your survival. Everyone did well. You all stay safe and keep up the great videos and spreading HIS WORDS too. Fred.

A great interview. What a wonderful story teller he is. We do not have grizzlies where I live, but there are many black bears. I certainly appreciate the tips about the black bear as I often go riding in the bush.

I can attest to the dangers of the Kodiak brown bears. I was stationed on Kodiak in the Coast Guard base police 1985-1988. I saw more bears on night patrols back in the area where he was working. They are such an awesome animal. I was actually baptized near the mouth of the Buskin river!

What an absolutely fascinating story. God was certainly in control for sure !!! Brent Hudson is a great story teller. Great guest !!!

I live in southwest Arkansas and I had a young black bear hang out in the tree close to my house. For around 36 hours. It slept most of the time. There is no telling how long it had been there while I was outside cleaning and watering my horses water troughs. The are very neat animals. I'm glad I came across your podcast I learn a lot from this.

Another great guest! I’m loving your podcast.

Thank you guys! We so love and appreciate all you do and for this great broadcast about bears. This man surely does know what he is talking about. I will point people in the direction of this broadcast when it comes to bears! Keep smiling! Be safe! Stay Safe!

Probably the best bear attack story I’ve ever heard and I listen to all I can find and watch all the videos I come across and have for the last 20 years thank you so very much !

What a fascinating woodsman. I thought I'd get bored, but his story & testimony are very eventful.

I really enjoyed your guest! I have always had a fascination with Bears 🐻. Our next door neighbor was a Big game hunter & houndsman. He would get called out too hunt rouge Bears & mountain lions, back in the 50's & 60's. My sister & I would go next-door & listen to all his hunting stories. Some funny, some really scary & tradgic, but always captivating! My family was always into wildlife & the great outdoors. I worked for the US Forest Service in Timber Management & Recreation! I grew up with a lot of hunters! My sister liked Bear hunting. She raised hounds too! I hope you have him back on again to talk more about his Bear safety training!

this is my first time on this site. so happy I found it. happily subscribed and looking forward to more videos.

Wow this is amazing to hear. I live in a country that has no dangerous animals. My mind is blown by his story . Please be a reoccuring guest. Blessings to you three.

Great information! Abba Father is so very very Faithful to his children, especially when he knows our hearts.

WOW, amazing story. I lived in Alaska and have been to Kodiak, Katmai Peninsula, Kenai Peninsula and saw many bears but thank God I never had an encounter. TY for this great video

What an amazing interview, the time flew by for me. Thank you!

I don't think I'll ever be in an area where I may run into a bear, but if I did, I know now what I should do in case they try to attack! What an interesting story.. I was stuck to the screen just listening to his story. He really tells it well. It was like I could picture the scene in my mind! So glad he made it out alive! I hope he gets more interview or podcast opportunities.. I'd love to hear more!!

I am from South Africa, and we love following you ❤ Thank you for this testimony.

Gods grace was on you for sure. Yes, give God all glory!!

Excellent interview! Loved how he’s sharing his faith! Also interesting hearing about all his bear stories.

Great story telling. Im fascinated by bears too but it’s the last thing I want to see in nature.

Living proof of what a man teaches regarding survival knowledge a true hero in many eyes 🙏🏻😉

Great interview, he’s a very fortunate person to have seen the beauty of mother nature up. Close and personal would make it all worth while.

Another great episode! Really love the variety of guests you have had on. Thanks! ❤

Wow! INCREDIBLE story and an amazing man! This was a great podcast!

The amount of lives that antibiotics have saved must be incomprehencable

Brent Hudson thank you for sharing your story about the Kodiak Bear Attack. And information on how to react to bears nearby and Bear Spray and how to properly protect yourself in a bear attack. I live in North Georgia Mountains and within the last two weeks have seen 2 black bears (1 on our property and 1 on my way to work). Thank you for all of your informative messages and life long experiences.

To the gentleman who was interviewed, thank you for your service in the military. Your story is quite amazing. Thank you for sharing. To the couple - you guys have a great story. Please don’t misinterpret my comment when I say ma’me, you’re such a beautiful woman. I’m a 100% straight middle aged woman-married to my husband -mother of two boys. Just so pretty with a handsome hubby. I just had to share . Have a wonderful weekend to all of you 😊

As a fellow Idahoan that hunts Bonner and Boundary counties I know that the day is coming when there will be an encounter. This information adds to my own research so l’ll know what to do, and can inform those that hunt with me, when that day comes. Thank you for your channel(s) and these great interviews. Keep them coming.

Wow that was fascinating and scary at the same time. Glad you were able to talk with him. Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!

OMG 🐻 Best Bear stories ❤ This Bear Whisper is absolutly awesome … Thank you so much … God Bless 🙏 So glad he survived 🙏

i don't think i breathed during the attack part - omg omg - amazing he survived - smart guy !

I’m so glad Jeremy has always kept your family safe where you live. His career as a policeman and experience with firearms is comforting to know your family can have a good life in Idaho but still be aware of the bears. God please watch over all families in this area and keep them safe.🙏 At least this podcast has added knowledge to what you know and the children will watch more carefully for bears resting but they very dangerous. Thanks for another excellent podcast.❤

Thank you so much for this podcast! I was glued to my screen the whole time. Mr. Hudson is a fantastic storyteller and teacher and does it all for the glory of God! This was awesome!

Fabulous podcast! He’s a terrific storyteller!! I really enjoy your broadcasts, whether you have special guests or it’s just you two talking! Great content!

This was such a wonderful tale and such a gracious man.

That was awe inspiring and awesome! What an amazing man with an amazing story to share. Loved it!

What a great guest. Thank you! Brent ! Your experiences are invaluable.

WOW‼️. Loved this interview. Thanks so much for bringing it to us.

Great talk, God has blessed this man!!! Thank you all for sharing this amazing story.

wow it was so wonderful to listen to him and what stories and knowledge he has on bears. Great guest

What a rare and wonderful guest. Loved it! ♥️

What a story and I love he is spreading Gods word.

I had a friend while living in Alaska, she was making chilly. None of us had a.c., windows opened a lot. She heard screams...black bear half way through her kitchen window reaching for the pot. Game guy darted it and it was flown to Denali. Bears are tagged, if a repeat offender - they are flown out.

This is an incredible story. You are a great storyteller. Glad you survived!

How amazing! This was fantastic and I loved hearing all about this gentleman and his escapades. How blessed he is indeed. This will be a "must hear" to all those living in the woods country. We have had bear here and found tracks on our five acres. We live in the greater proximity of a large military complex near Tacoma and closer to the mtns so when water is scarce we have activity near the salmon run below us a couple miles. Very interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing this. Please stay safe where you are. You just never know! Blessings

Amazing story, thanks for interviewing this courages man. keep this going, Thanks, Love & Light

So glad this came up on my feed! I really enjoyed this interview/ thank you so much☺️

While I don't advocate hunting, this man is very brave and interesting to listen to! Thank you for speaking with us.

What a fascinating man, thank you for hosting him!

Fascinating!! Well done by all 3 of you

This story was wonderful to listen to. Thank you to him for sharing it. WOW.👍
