In this second Episode of the Northern Hunter we talk to Clint Adams and hear the full story of his encounter with a brown bear in southeast Alaska. We dive deep and break down what happened and why no-one was hurt. We talk through each step, to understand and get the picture of what happened and how to best defend ourselves if found in the same situation. This episode has adrenaline, fear, and literal split second life saving decisions. In the end we come to a surprising conclusion on what may be the best first line of bear defense in any similar situation.
