In 1992, two Alaskan communities were shaken by two different encounters with bears that ended in tragedy. Wes sheds a a light on how things went wrong, and then goes over the best things to do should anyone find themselves in a similar situation.

Three things to remember in the event of a bear encounter:

1. Group up (safety in numbers!)

2. Get your bear spray out and have it ready to use

3. Slowly back away

Mike is finally allowed to take charge of a main episode as some sort of sick and twisted birthday present, and he decides to cover the true story behind the legendery sled dog serum run of 1925. He then gets into the horrifying account of Bridgett Watkins and her encounter with a moose while training for the Iditarod. Wes does NOT want diptheria, and Jeff is hard to impress.
