A worker with a logistics company that operates the North Warning System in Nunavut has died after being attacked by two polar bears on Thursday.

In a news release Friday, Nasittuq Corporation said an incident occurred at one of its locations on Brevoort Island, off the eastern coast of Baffin Island.

"An attack by two polar bears has resulted in the loss of one of our valued employees," the release said.

Polar bears are the scariest bears in my opinon. Even though they look so cuddly.

It only takes seconds for a bear yo do horrific damage. So if the guard was a minute away. They could arrive to late.

Can not count the number of days I have spent camping in Grizzly country.

The damage a bear can inflect on a human body can easily lead to great Bodley harm or death in seconds.

Once the bear makes contact you could have been the bravest or the scarcest person. The bear doesn't give a dam.

I have found that being cautious around things that can harm oneself saves a lot of stiches.

Whether that is using simple hand tools to more complicated machinery. To a unfamiliar dog, bull, cow, bear, other critter or thing.

Familiarity can lead to contempt making one careless. Leading to stiches or worse.

Who me? I hiked and camped by myself the length of the Bob Marshal and camped in a tent in Alaska hunting brown bears. They only thing I avoid is assholes like you.

If the message is one you do not like. It is far easier to attack the messenger.

Then prove the massage wrong.

When in MT,WY or AK camping in the outback, I have kept a pre-war Model 71 in 450 Alaskan or 450 Fuller
next to my sleeping bag. Even a Ruger BH in 45 Colt with 300 gr Hloads that work near the cabin.

As to why? A cabin owner last summer near Prescott, AZ was killed by a black bear weighing less than 200 pounds.
Bear spray? It works unless the bear likes spiced
people meat or the bear happens to be coming from the same direction as the wind is blowing in from.

Read up on Dr, Stephen Herrero's "Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance".
The Darwin Award gets folks in bear country who travel without common sense, suitable guns, or both. Nature deals with those who actually think they are on top of the food chain.

If you read the records, dogs leashed or loose, seem to be an all too common thread. Herrero is not a fan of accompanying dogs
