Amie then walks over to Tim, and based on training in the hospital no doubt told Tim to lay still, but is then tested and driven away by the bear, and at this point in the attack I believe Tim realized that this was not a typical bear encounter, and that playing dead was not going to work and the wrong response, yelling at Amie to hit the bear!. I think that those two minutes (of six) are part of the real audio. Had she helped Tim back to the tent after the bear had moved off after the initial attack, or had Tim and Amie brought a can of Bear Spray, as they had on earlier expeditions, would they be alive today?

A greater idiot, I charged the guy.He shot me in the chest but I still played grizzly bear, running him down and beating the crap out of him.Stupid because I could have gotten another passport. I agree about his GF, tho, it's a shame someones genuine and innocent Affection was used to place her in such insane Danger. In the past when this bear had been driven away from a freshly caught salmon or other food item, the need to eat and put on weight had no doubt caused this bear to then test the true strengths of the thief and attempt to re-take its meal.

Their behavior was extreme but hardly unique, to judge by the steady trickle of similar incidents elsewhere.I am a retired journalist who wrote kimgtragedy.info, which tells the tale of James Kim, a technical writer who, in 2006, ignored a series of warnings and common sense on the way to getting himself killed in the remote forest of SW Oregon, endangering his equally brainless wife and their two children who were rescued in the nick of time.There are commonalities in the two stories: negligence to the point of recklessness, and -- oddly enough -- a selfish lack of respect for "Mother Nature" who sat by as people sucked in by too many Yogi Bear and Bambi cartoons, accentuated by over-the-top "environmentalist" romanticization of the Outback ignore the realities.Only after humans largely conquer Ma Nature, or at least adapt to it and bend it to suit our needs and tastes, do we take the stupidly romantic view, to the point where tourists in Yellowstone try to pet the bison, only to learn the hard way that a 1,500-pound wild animal might not want to be petted.I have to wonder: Why grizzlies? The article needed a copy editor, but was otherwise superb. Although I felt the opinion was a bit harsh and too "educated" where Treadwell had just been "lucky" all of these years, I believe in nature man doesn't give enough credit to our ancestral and primate tendancies akin to a child like state of being. Im not sure the cause or timeline, but it seemed rather obvious to me that this guy wasnt playing with a full deck. The story has fascinated me since I learnt about Timmy's tragedy in 2003.

Rarer yet, a bear who then consumes the victims. McMillion, Scott. He lived off canned packed food while his bears foraged to stay alive wanted people to believe he was alone when he was not. After all, he camped on established bear trails, or near intersecting bear trails, and had contact with the same bears every year and felt he knew each one personally. As a person dealing with my own idiosy and grand ideas when I slip into hypomania, I'd bet my life in this amateur diagnosis. They should of enforced the regulations better and not allow someone as reckless as Tim back in the park. His early attempts at camping were almost comical. This latter scenario can not be confirmed because thankfully for us the video tape ran out before it occurred.if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[250,250],'yellowstone_bearman_com-mobile-leaderboard-1','ezslot_12',123,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-yellowstone_bearman_com-mobile-leaderboard-1-0'); This incident occurred due to An unconventional person with unconventional behavior toward bears, camped in the middle of a very dangerous situation..

Have had zero use for coyotes ever since (the occasional now and again reports of one trying to wander off with someone's child hasn't helped). Maybe it was willful ignorance but having so many close calls leads me to think that although he didn't intentionally cause Amie's death he certainly contributed to it and failed to protect her from the bears.If TT were still alive I believe he would want us all to focus on the extremely threatened polar bears and to help them survive after man has melted the sea ice that the bears use to catch their prey, seals. Living by eating our garbage, with the occasional attempt at a child thrown in. Im sure the same is true of most animals hence remaining calm is probably a good idea. Ellis, Joel. Tim was obviously very aware and struggling desperately to survive during the last moments of his life. In the summer of 2005, Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man made a minor celebrity of Timothy Treadwell, a man alternately seen as either a reckless crank or a naive idealist.

I will also say shame on him, for dragging Aimee into it (her fault too, no doubt), and adding three extra bodies to the death toll (TT + (Aimee + 2 other bears)).Because of his disregard and disrespect for mother nature, 2 bears were killed just so ppl could investigate the "murder" scene.
