That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do,” the post read. “Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that. If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you. Could you have kept your cool? Hats off to her,” the post further read.The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘TonyLaneNV’.

Internet’s reaction: “That is terrifying,” a user said. “That was a young bear! If that had been a full grown animal, she might not have been so lucky!” added another person. “I have hiked the Alaskan mountains, always have bear spray on you for insurance. You might not ever need to use it, but in that slight chance you do, you know you have it,” added another.
