"methinks"

Ok, so on first watching this is just grating and hilarious, but then I read That Guy's post and I got it. What we're hearing and watching here is something completely extraordinary- this woman is having lunch and then goes outside and maybe in a few seconds realizes that she is in a life or death situation. A bear, which could kill her, is destroying her kayak, which is her only way out of the wilderness. She has to confront the bear, which we consider insane, but she has to do it because she has realized that if the bear destroys her kayak, she has no way of getting out of this bay. So that sound we're hearing in her voice is her own realization of what a deeply scary situation she is in. She doesn't care about the kayak, she cares about surviving in the wilderness. And she was right. She says that she had to swim (can you imagine the temperature of that water) to the sailing vessel to see if it had a radio. It did not. She only escaped because (another?) sailing vessel found her. This whole ordeal makes me shit myself with fear. And not of the bear.

When I was stationed in Alaska the residents would joke about the ineffectiveness of bear spray. I still carried it, but I also carried a .357. Fortunately I never had to use either on a bear. One's first weapon against bear attacks it respect and common sense.
Why is she filming this? She's putting herself in a potentially deadly situation with a can of bear spray in one hand and her phone in the other.
I wish she showed us what the kayak looked like when the bear was finished chewing on it. Its hilarious that had to swim to the sail boat. She's lucky an Orca didn't eat her.

Her only way out? There's a sailboat in the background.

Getting eaten by an orca during a 100 yard swim would be some amazing shit luck, especially in a bay.

Yeah I don't get the severity either. She couldn't get back to civilization on the sailboat but she could on the kayak? The kayak was so damaged she couldn't use it to travel the 100 yards to the sailboat?

If the kayak was so life or death, why the fuck are you just leaving it on the ground right next to your camping shit instead of a more secure place?

Also black bears are total pussies.

No, I get the severity. The sailboat is left there. She's alone. She has shelter, but probably not much food and water or heat source.

Also, I'm not sure black bears are total pussies. I think they attack frequently, don't they?

Sailboat is harder to use than a kayak, especially with one person. It could potentially be locked up in some way.

I thought it was hers? This sounded like a private island cabin that she owned.

US Forest Service cabin.

Plus, I think that you can often build a cabin out in the sticks in Alaska, but you can't own it. It's share and share alike.

It looks like she's outside, and dangerously close to the bear. I figure she's confident enough in her bear spray. Locals joked that you could identify bear scat, because it was full of bells and smelled like bear spray.

She's right outside the cabin.
