She was very smart to pull out her phone and start filming. The cameraman never dies.

The bear was just curious what kind of creature screams like that.

I feel like I should put this here as everyone seems to have a problem with the whistle. This isn't a "rape whistle". It is a survival whistle. Some animals are scared off by the whistle, some won't be. Each animal is different there, but that's not the only purpose of the whistle. The sound of the whistle carries a lot better than your voice does, and is unmistakeable as to what it is. It effectively alerts other people that you are in distress. Say you slip off a trail and become injured, a survival whistle is a great aid in helping people locate you, and is far easier on your throat than trying to constantly shout at the top of your lungs; something that will quickly tire you out. Even in this video, another hiker arrives right at the end, who no doubt heard her whistle and probably picked up his pace to find out who was in distress ahead of him. Nobody ever claims it's a miracle fix; it should not be your only defense against wildlife. But it is a useful tool that every hiker should carry.

Well this woman got a harsh dose of "Would you rather a Bear or a Man".

I thought this was going to be terrifying. That bear was just like what the hell is wrong with this woman?! 🤣

The scariest part was at the end... I think I heard a man's voice.

The bears are like. Why is this lady being so loud? Is there someone behind us?

Bear probably thought she was crazy 😂 glad she’s alright tho

She did Exactly what I was warned to do while out hiking if I met a bear.. One day my daughters large dog would not let us go on up the trail. He kept jumping up on my husband and pushing him backwards. I suggested we turn back and go home, which we did. Later on the news it was reported that a bear had seen right where we had turned around. Bless you Ralphie rip.

Runs from bear to a man. Wow. You can't make this up

Bear got home and saw a story online about Bear faces off with crazy human while out taking her cubs for a walk. Lol

She got lucky that this bear had a chill personality.

And the bears are like "sorry, but we live here".

Thank you for this video, I will train my girlfriend to roar like that.

Wow! Very scary. That bear could have charged her. She is very blessed to be alive. Glad the bear wasn't aggressive at this time. Good job of trying to scare them away!

All the Bear wanted was a hug.

This situation is no joke, the feeling of danger in the wild

Getting away from the bear as fast as can is more important than taking a video from it

What always amazes me the most is that people have the nerve to actually press record. I wouldn’t even be able to put in my passcode

Ask her man or bear.

She handled that very well, unlike how so many fools are handling their comments here. Kudos to her and glad it worked out well.

How to survive bear encounters: Black- fight back Brown- lay down White- say good night

I thought they choose Bear?

Man or bear? Woman sees bears, fears for her life. At the end of the video, runs to a man.

That sound she was making sounded like prey, lol. Just back off instead of hanging around.

Mama Bear is a real thing..protective of her cubs. I would have backed away and not stopped to film..but it ended well for all

This woman is no hero. She continued walking in the direction of the bear and her cubs after realizing they were there. Why? So she could post it to instagram for clout as an "influencer." People like this are the reason bears end up being killed by the park services.

Bear: Go back to your country

I loved how confused it was 😅.

Bear: if I could only get a dollar for every roar that a human yelled at me…

The bear was probably curious “who TF is this crazy lady”

Why does she stop, I tried to get out of there quickly and calmly as I could instead of waiting on them 🤔

I understand the feeling. I was chased by a brown bear in Alaska and I swear I have never ran so fast in my life. Jesus must’ve sent angel to carry me because it was crazy.

Lol. Bruh! Why is her screams be sounding like she's been possessed by like a terradactyl ghost lady while joining a heavy metal rock band on stage with a hint of tin-man steaming from The Wizard of Oz? 😂

That wasn't a roar! That was just "roar!!!" 🤣

1) There are no grizzly bears in California. This is a black bear, not a brown bear. Species, not color. 2) GET OFF THE TRAIL. THE BEAR WANTS THE TRAIL. GO UP AND LET THE BEARS PASS.

Amazingly enough, this ladies roars made that mama bear at least think twice. 😂 Very impressive! Glad she was able to get away.

I honestly dont understand why she filming 🤷🏿. My generation tell u..... One thing is that a distraction wont help when faced with death...

Bear realized it was being filmed ... he knows the laws of physics !

I do understand why she was scared. The trail was very narrow and the mountain is steep. To me, it looked like the mother bear was curious more than anything. She wasn't upset or defending her cubs. And she seemed to want to walk on the trail. Glad the lady was fine. I often see tracks of various animals when I hike in the local mountains. They prefer to walk on the trails as it is easier.

You're using the whistle wrong, you're supposed to throw the whistle at the bear while flailing your arms singing "I'm a little teapot"

Why I used to carry a set of M80 firecrackers,had to use them twice. Once one of those go off a bear will rum a few miles before stopping,lol.

Momma bear looks well fed.

This trail just like the one in my backyard to Mount Wilson, a comparatively busy trail, and the bear encounter has been reported every so often in the past few months. It is scary

this is a black bear, not a brown bear. brown bears have been extinct in California for over a hundred years.

Apparently this lady think it's cool to loiter around Mama bear with young cubs...

I used to go on that trial alone a lot but never had this happen. Just lucky.

How about instead of filming you get out of there? Mom has her kids and won't play around.

I LOVE HOW THEY TELL US WHERE THEY ARE ! ! !

That encounter will definitely make as if you ran 5miles. Adrenaline crazy.

Bear: what kind of karen are you

Lol haha the bear is like who fuck is roaring all stupid 🤣

Which trail is this? I'm up there a lot.

Musta been not that dangerous if she was filming 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

But I thought women felt safer meeting a bear in the woods than a man? I also love the irony of how upon meeting a bear she starts yelling and blowing a whistle for a man to come and save her.

those bears are like wtf lady we are just trying to take a nice hike today

Girl you are so brave! I admire you! God bless you

That's a momma bear. Yeild right of way. Let her have the trail path for her and her babies. Get away and as soon as you can get off the trail. She wants to get by. The momma bear was probably wondering what was up with this human. She was probably telling her children to stay back since humans can be unpredictable and crazy.

Remember… Always throw human feces at the bear to ward off an attack. It’s readily available in your skivvies.

It's not the physical injuries I'm afraid of suffering..it's the embarrassment 😂

Where's the other part in the begging where she's actually following the bear towards her cubs?

You are hiking in their territory!!

Lots of bears in that area. They come down into the town and eat out of people's trash cans. She did the right thing. Don't let a big wild animal like that get close to you. Anything could happen.

holding the iphone the whole time? attention seeks do not have a line they won't cross.

Exemplary behaviour of the woman: start making loud noises, scream and shout, make yourself look bigger and imposing, make your presence felt, while all the time backing out of the place, AND never ever turn around and start running, because for a bear it is a matter of instinct - a bear that sees a creature running away treats it as food and starts chasing it immediately.

Another satisfied Feminist, stuck in a wilderness with a bear, instead of a man.

Bear cubs mom is she on drug's? Why does she keep roaring? Mom: Just keep walking and don't look she may want money. 😂

Plot twist. The man followed her to harm. The bear came to rescue and fought off the man in the end.

She didn't face off against anything. Why does the media try to portray every dingbat woman as a hero? Nice trail, though.

The bear was probably checking to see if she's O.K

She should’ve started talking to the bear about her feelings and why she’s a vegetarian, and how she’s a strong woman and doesn’t need a man. The bear would’ve run off on it’s own…

The bear likely just wants to use the trail as a pathway. The woman wants to go one way, the bear wants to go the other.

Looks like she did all the right things. Glad she is safe. She should carry bear spray also in the future.

Yeah women rather meet bear than a man in wild crazy

All she needed to do was yell' stay tuned for an all new Ally McBeal"

The bear says omg a California karen 😂

Good luck it wasn't a man, then it would had been truly scary.

Holy. Good thing she didn’t start running

Woman: *demonic screaming* Bear: Okay dang.

Mrs. Bear: You Shall Not Pass! My cubs are walking here.

Amazing! Thank you for showing how to keep it together and do everything the right way. So impressive

The bear thinks you are calling him to come to you with that whistle lol

And that is why you never hike alone.

The bear is like: I wanted to have an easy hike today little cub but here we go... They have all the mountain... The woman: ... Aaarrghhhh there is no other way to go!

I'd be getting a new whistle! Sounded like a toy train. Maybe an air horn.

It’s his home and if your an avid hiker it should not surprise you to RUN into a bear especially in the Foothills of La Verne.

Why the fuck wouldn’t you carry bear spray in an area like that?

Bear: "Who is this crazy woman screaming?"

Ya, I’d be pulling something else out that can possible save my life, not some stupid cell phone.

This is an exceptionally dangerous situation. Mama bear with her cubs. I was in a similar situation in the high Sierra several decades ago. Luckily I was far enough away from the bear family that the event passed without additional excitement. I was armed, and to this day, I am thankful that I did not have to use my gun. Always best to leave the place the way you found it, if you know what I mean.

Bear: Typical Karen, she doesn’t know the rules of the trail. Those coming up get the right of way! 🤪

I just don't understand why people still be on trails where their can possibly be Bears or Mountain lions😳 I would NEVER

Why isn’t she trying to date it?

That mama bear wasn’t even threatening, she was just curious. Keep calm, and walk away.

Bear had to get by. Wasn't attacking or running, just simply needed the same path. Steep terrain vs. groomed trail; albeit with weird screamy things lol

PETA will be suing you for trying to scare the bear. It is California. 😂

That Bear must have been terrified of that crazy woman

I keep telling my trainer that exercising is dangerous.😂

A meeting of the minds...there's nowhere for the bears to go either!😂

It's almost as if you shouldn't go alone without being prepared to protect yourself. Almost.
