Six percent of people think they can beat a grizzly bear

I was in Alaska shooting video of a glacier calving with a drone. In order to get to this place it requires a plane to get to the small town of Cordova, a 30 mile drive down an uninhabited gravel road, then a jet boat ride for about 15 miles up a river to a single lodge. I was at the lodge with the lodge owner and his bear dog. I'm 100% focused on my drone and had been for about 15 minutes. Suddenly I hear the owner of the cabin come out and quietly whispered don't move, bear. Of course I moved to see the bear. It was a skinny black bear about 10' behind me. That bastage had no problem sneaking up on me. I looked him in the eye, he looked me in the eye and at no point did I think I could take him but I was ready to give him all the hell I could. I slowly reached into my pocket to grab my gopro because if I was about to be attacked by a bear, might as well get it on camera. Anyway, I can confirm that bears are scared of the beep from the record button on a gopro. The second the bear turned the cabin owner screamed, "big doggie'. That sweet oversized dog transformed and went absolutely insane, He shot out the lodge nearly taking the hinges off the door, went after the bear sending big wooden chairs flying without even checking that dog up. It was at that moment that I lost any idea that I could take a big dog.

I'll still destroy a goose though and wouldn't even stop smiling while doing it. Screw those things.
