Timothy Treadwell - bear guy

[CityLights]

OMG that guy was so over the top. The part where is absolutely giddy over bear poop cracks me up.

It is sad that his girlfriend ended up dying with him.

Just saw this over the summer. Crazy shit. And the very end credits, where he is leisurely walking down the stream with 2 grizzlies to his back blew my mind. Those bears were following him along like they were all one big happy family. He was not operating with a full deck.

He was nutso. NUTso. It is too bad that his girlfriend died with him, but she was nutso enough to go out there with him to stalk the bears.

My favorite is the part where he's distraught because there's a drought, so food is scarce (UH HELLO) and in his little confessional he yells about how MAD he is because MELISSA IS EATING HER BABIES. I died laughing (intentional distasteful pun).

A very close family friend of ours worked as an AK State Trooper dispatcher when he was killed. She worked at the station that responded to the scene in Katmai; she got to see all of the evidence, hear the tapes, etc. She was also the first person to let the final tape play past the recording and hear the dialogue from the night he and his girlfriend were attacked.

He also set up camp in the middle of the grizzly path. Paths that have been there so long that they're engrained in the ground. For knowing so much about bears, only an idiot would knowingly and willingly set up camp in a clearly designated grizzly trail. So not only were the bears hungry, but he certainly upset and intruded on older bears and their routine of using that path for years.

Katmai is truly amazing and beautiful, though.

Where are you guys watching this? I saw a dateline or something about him years ago. The interviewer listened to the tape that recorded their deaths. His mom had saved it. The guy told her to NEVER never ever listen to it.

Is this the same guy/recordings that Animal Planet or something did a series on a while back?

How did he get these woman to live with him? There is no part of lets sleep on the ground, shit in the woods and hope you dont get eaten by a bear the next time you make breakfast.

Maybe his wang was really that special. Or maybe they liked to do it grizzly style. Roar.

I'm convinced it was a suicide by bear. Dying (in the manner he did, which was too perfectly coincidental, IMO) was the only way to proselytize his message. Like Usually said, he knew way too much about those bears to do something as dumb as set up his camp right in their path. And who leaves a video camera recording with no picture? And the attack just happened to occur within 24 hours of his scheduled pickup time? I'm convinced it was planned. I'm not convinced the GF was in on the plan.
