@thewanderingbeard2.0: In June of 2013, Robert Weaver was at a remote cabin with his wife Roberta at George Lake Alaska. The couple had been out on the lake for a day of fishing and once they made their way back to the dock, a 230-pound male black bear was spotted on the bank. Robert was an experienced outdoorsman and had encountered black bears several times before, but what happened next would be far out of his realm of experience and this encounter would change the couples lives forever. This is a true story. #truestory #scary #alaska #bear #attack
Can we just mention how brave Robert was to sacrifice himself knowing that he was about to experience the most horrific death. What an amazing hubby. Rip Robert 🥺

I grew up around black bears in Pennsylvania. They ate plants & vegetation. This is not normal behavior of a black bear vs human encounter… this bear must’ve been starving.

As someone from an area VERY densely populated with black bears, it’s so easy to forget how dangerous they can be😭

I will really never understand why people go into the wilderness with no weapon …. When you step into the wilderness we are at the BOTTOM OF THE FOOD CHAIN

such a terrible story. ive always heard black bears are less likely to attack you (make yourself big usually scares them) compared to Grizzlys. she tried everything to get the bear away from her husband

I visualise these stories as you tell them and its so terrifying to even imagine the pain, trauma and immense fear that these people must have experienced. The level of PTSD that these individuals must have must be beyond repair. Rest in peace Robert 🕊
