27 years old….Good lord, he had his life ahead of him, still. Can’t imagine what his family is going through.

Well that answers that question.
A lot of people sounding too cocky about their chances against a black bear.

How terrible for this young man and his family

If they’re working up in remote northern areas, they should probably be given at least bear spray. Brutal way to go

A bear attack is probably in my top five ways I do not want to die. So awful.

I had a co-worker killed at the same location in 2005. They weren’t sure if it was by a black bear or wolves.

This was a black bear, right? There are no grizzlies in Saskatchewan anymore.
Black bears are usually very chill. ?

If the bear is black, fight back

Did the bear just randomly attack him or am I missing something?

RIP to the young man. Horrifying way to go.
This is an unfortunate reminder that you need to have the means to defend yourself in the wild. Bear spray and an understanding of how to present and defend yourself against predators is a good start.

“I want him to be remembered for what he does. Innocent heart, fighter’s soul. Warrior. And I’d just like to say he fought [the] bear. That’s all … bear didn’t attack him. He attacked the bear.”
Wut?

If he had killed the bear the comments in this sub would be fun to read

Surprised that camp wouldn’t have a bear guard posted.

Did anyone catch this part of the article?
“And I’d just like to say he fought [the] bear. That’s all … bear didn’t attack him. He attacked the bear.”
I want to assume that something was lost in translation here. If not, I mean I’m not sure what he expected?

The comments under the facebook posts are absolutely horrible
