Well I wasted some good money and rented it last night just to see what it was about, Well just to let you guys know this guy was a nut job if you didn't already know! Me and my wife we just sat here laughing at this moron. It did provide some good entertainment. Unfortunately they do not play the audio from the night him and his girlfriend were ate for dinner!

THanks for the warning! They got what they deserved. Maybe instead of "Grizzly Man" it should be titled "From an untrained, uneducated, wanna be biologist to a bear turd"! | |||

Yup, from Bear Friend to Bear Shit... in one easy lesson....Of course too bad we don't have something like that become a Pet project for the average Tree Hugger or PETA member.... Liberals, tree huggers and especially PETA members make great fertilizer!  | |||

You guys have so got it wrong.  On a tour of Alaksa, the Pope took a couple of days off for some sight seeing. He was cruising along in the 'Popemobile' when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. A helpless PETA member, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" T-shirt and a Tree Hugger Hat, was struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10 foot grizzly. As the Pope watched horrified, a group of loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .338 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding & semiconscious tree hugger from the bear. Then using long clubs, the three loggers beat the bear to death and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured tree hugger in the back seat. As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between loggers and environmental activists, but now I've seen with my own eyes that is not true." As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies "Who was that guy ?" "It was the Pope," another replied, "he's in direct contact with God and has access to all God's wisdom." "Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all God's wisdom, but he sure doesn't know anything about bear hunting..............is the bait holding up okay or do we need to go back into town and grab another one....?" It's a Mauser thing, you wouldn't understand. | |||

I have to agree with you. This guy was nuts. What bothered me most is that he kept going on and on about how he was "protecting" the bears. The way I understand it the vast majority of the footage was shot in a federally protected area. I couldn't see how exposing bears to humans (namely him) was going to protect them at all. They are probably more likely to get shot if they lose their natural fear of humans and start bothering people. It's the "problem" bears that get killed in the end. | |||

I spent three miserable years working with idiots like this. They think their good intentions put them above the rest of us and exempt them from what we suffer through every day, like parking tickets. (Apparently we can now add brown bears to the list.) They're always surprised when life tells them otherwise. Okie John "The 30-06 works. Period." --Finn Aagaard | |||

Andy, That's some good stuff there! I just saw that the Discovery Channel is showing "Grizzly Man" Friday night. I'm going to pick up a six-pack and tune in, should be good for some laughs. Actually, I imagine the real thing is funnier than the parody... "That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable." | |||

When you guys see the movie, you will probably be thinking what the F*&K was this guy smoking. Especially when he goes into a rant about how he beat the Government. That part I looked at my wife and said what the hell was that all about. If you watch it you will get some laughs out of it.

They do show the Bear after they shot it and they recovered 4 trash bags of human body parts out of it. To top it off when the pilot went to go get them he almost became brunch. He flew over the site afterwards and saw that the Bear went back to eating on a human rib cage. They found ol dumbass's head not to far from it if I remember right, and his right arm.

The "grizzly man" was a real nut case. All the movie does is verify what we all already know. Save your money but if it's free....! | |||

323: The really unfortunate thing is that some more people think they will know how to deal with real grizzlies if they meet one. Some years ago one of the young women in my office told us she was taking a trip to Glacier National Park. She showed me a brochure of how grizzlies could be photographed -right from the road side. I spoke with the "wisdom" of someone who had last seen a grizzly in Yellowstone (that tells you how old I am!)  I warned her to stay very near the car and, DEFINITELY, not to get out of the car if she was the only car. I really tried to impress on her how dangerous the grizzly could be. She returned with photos of grizzlies taken at less than 50 feet away. She was a sassy young lady and enjoyed teasing me about the "dangerous" grizzly. I could only tell her that all wild animals who are in close contact with man (as in a Park) lose their fear of man. They are not any less dangerous. It simply is that they don't "spook" so quickly. ( Ever notice how these films never mention that young women hiking or camping in grizzly bear country during their periods are very liable to attack?) | |||

Its going to be on Discovery tonight. I know the Helicopter Pilot, Sam Egli. He carries a 454 Casuell just about every were. He didn't like flying the remains out. That guy was a first class nut job. | |||

Although I can sympathize with this guys anger toward civilization encroaching on wild beautiful places, I know that he started out borderline nuts and ended up in some mental prison somewhere. Crazier than a shit house rat!!! | |||

i just saw the movie this evening on the discovery channel. i believe treadwell had some deep psychological problems. his mood swings seemed classic bi-polar. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Saw the movie on Discovery last night and the guy is definitely a nut job. It appears he actually did more harm then good by exposing bears to humans and then getting the bear killed that ate him that he was supposely protecting. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I was right, it was funnier than the parody! That guy was seriously Captain Insano, he should have been institutionalized long ago...People like him always end up doing more harm than good because they don't understand how nature works. He made it seem that those bears had human emotions and that's why they wouldn't hurt him. They're a wild animal, and basically they know eat, sleep, breed, survive. I particularly liked the part where he told us all to try and go there and live like he did, we would die. But he had it all figured out and he "loved the bears enough" to stay safe. Ahh, the price of arrogance (and insanity)... "That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable." | |||

I have actually lived alone in extremely remote wilderness for months on end, in Grizzly country and tried to watch this programme last evening. I knew many American draftdodgers plus some Canadian hippies during those years as I was also a BCFS supervisor of silvicultural crews which consisted of such people. In my experience, a substantial percentage of them were, as Treadwell obviously was, severely afflicted with mental illness aggravated by chronic substance abuse, notably Marijuana, LSD and other such dangerous drugs. The claims about being able to do bush things that we ordinary folks cannot were also typical, and utter bullshit as most of these guys would spend the greater part of their lives in the bar. I am a lifelong, hardcore "treehugger" and can honestly say that guys like Treadwell have fuckall to do with wilderness preservation; here in B.C., they are in it for the grant monies. I feel sorry for someone like this as his was not a "nice" death. But, given the drivel about wildlife now taught in schools, I expect to see more such incidents..... | |||

The worst thing I found out is the park service went back in and killed the bear that ate tredwell. The bear was in his own territory. Tredwell should have come to Wyoming and walked up Horse creek into five pockets he wouldn't have lasted the first year. Steve | |||

I found the interviews after the main program to be more interesting and enlightening than the show itself. Treadwell was obviously a mental train wreck waiting to happen. He was obviously a sociopath and was also obviosly mentaly ill as he had no grounding in reality whatsoever. The girl who was with him Amie had been going with Treadwell for 3 years and she hadn't figured it out by then she was in the same category. Some comments from the post program interviews. "Alaska is nothing more than a den of poaching from top to bottom." "Because of Treadwell at least they are denying it (poaching) now." "Hunting is nothing more than redirected primate aggression towards other animals." My words here about the last quote. The geniuses in Berkley have now connected primates, cats, dogs, bears and other predators to a common emotion, redirected primate aggression. INTERESTING! "Treadwell was protecting the bears, since his death there have been 6 bears killed in the park by poachers." These are just the more notable ones. And just wait because we WILL now have Treadwell wanna be's trying to copy his feats. I'm thinking of opening a new bear chow company. Feeding high protein healthy snacks to brown bears. "Treadwell's" the food of choice for humanized brown bears the world over! | |||

Comes on the discovery channel again tonight "Saturday" at 7:00 central and again at 10:00 central for those of you who want to see it but dont want to WASTE your money. It was so stupid I watched it and another show at the same time. I couldnt stay interested in it over a few minutes at a time. Guy was definately a nutcase.

They should ditch "Smokey The Bear" and make Grumpy (Treadwell's killer) a national icon instead!!! I think Timmy the red fox was smarter than Tim Treadwell! My question is why didn't the govt. step in and arrest him for harrassing the bears or putting them in danger ( by habitalizing them to humans)? | |||

I rented and watched the movie. At first, I laughed. I then saw that he was living in an alternate reality and laughed some more.... Then I realized that he had a death wish, was egocentric and paranoid and possibly suffered from some form of mental illness and I stopped laughing...I said to myself, wholly crap, this guy is crazy. On the other hand, he was passionate and said that he was prepared to die every day- he knew that he was cheating death every minute with the bears- especially toward the end of the movie...I found that the movie ws not one-sided, but did attempt to show Timothy for who he was. Let's not laugh at his death just because he was a "treehugger"; I am sure that it was a horrible death for both of them. Unfortunately, for them, they cannot learn from their mistakes. | |||

The guy definitely had mental problems and needed to make a statement to get attention and he did it in a weird way. He was a PETA person to the extreme. Sad that he got ate by a bear that he claimed to protect but he knew it would happen one day since he mentioned it so much. If you play with fire long enough you get burned sooner or later. | |||

Its hard to believe but there are alot of idots that think the bears are like the ones from the gay disney world.They watch animal planet too much and think the bears are big cuddley creatures of fairy tales.Its also alot of difference between park bears and bears that are hunted.the ones that are hunted are smart as heck.The park bears usually are not nearly agressive as bears outside the park.They are all not friendly cuddley teddy bears.I spent the last night of my 10 day trip from hell trying not to get eaten on my first Alaskan fly in trip.I had kept a fire going which had kept them away for 9 nights.They only came during the night ,I only saw bear sign during the day.I knew when my fire went out I would be in deep crap.It rained the last night I was there.The first bear stuck his head over top of me in the tent.I rolled out from under him and grabbed my 338.I fired in the ground while holding my flash light.I looked and it was a sow with two cubs just as big as her.I shot three times in the ground and they left for about 45 mintues.I yelled at the bears with little effect.I had 7 bears come that last night.I had to flag down a plane to come get me.He radioed the guy who had flown me in there.I knew if I lasted the last night I was there I probally would not last another.I now wont go alone on fly in trips and use a 416 rem mag as my tent gun.I encountered no friendly bears on my trip just ones that will eat you for a late supper.I was with two guys last year when a sow and two large cubs came towards me and the two guys I was hunting with.A friend of mine shot one of the cubs this year that had only one eye.It jumped them on their 4 wheelers on the trail.It took 6 shots from a 338 to kill it.You dont mess around with bears they will get you. | |||

We watched it on Discovery. Man was this guy messed up! He needed some therapy, a shrink, and probably less "alone time"! I don't even begin to understand how he thought he was "saving the bears", he showed nothing of him reporting even one poaching! His friends went out later and found a bear carcass and declare it as work of the poachers. How could they tell? Are they trained? It could have died from a friendly bear fight. Those cudly bears could have loved each other to death! Never mind him finding the remains of an unfortunate cub. Why didn't he talk to the bears about fighting amongst themselves? He was delusional at best! Nate | |||

But, the biggest problem with this kind of person is all of the tree hugging sh-- that he spread to the kids in schools during the years that he made it back. All the kids ever heard was all of the crap that he spread every year about how the bears were so cuddly, cute, and needed protection. How man, hunting, and everything else was so bad. When he had the camcorder going while he walked through the field talking about how he never wanted to get hurt, killed etc. by a bear, how his love life sucked, a real disturbed mind/person. Just why didn't he just get the heck out of dodge and not come back? Like the guy at the airport said, he deserved just what he got. | |||

Well I am glad you made it out of there but I would have dumped all 3 bears if I was in your shoes at the time. I figure if the bear has the balls to stick its head in the tent then it has no fear of man and probably is a man eater and I would not think twice about shooting it. As for the grizzly man he really did a good job of protecting the bears since they shot the bear that killed him. Yep he really protected that bear... What a dumb ass.  | |||
