Black Bear Gnaws on Delta 15s Seakayak in Berg Bay, Alaska
During a solo kayak trip, intended to go from from Ketchikan,
Alaska to Petersburg, Alaska, a bear attacked my kayak.
This incident occurred outside of a US Forest Service cabin
in Berg Bay, Wrangell District, Alaska. I had just carried my
tent, food, and all my gear into the cabin to dry while I went
on a 4 mile hike that begins just behind the cabin. I heard
something outside as I ate my lunch, and well, I never got to
go on that hike. This video is taken 5 minutes after the attack
began, he continued to gnaw on it for another 5 or 10 after
the video ends. Shortly after the bear left and I drug the
kayak back to the cabin door step. Then I swam to the S/V
anchored in the bay. They did not have their radio on and I
feared I would be stranded! The German flagged S/v
Caledonia took me and my things to Wrangell where I am
trying to repair my kayak now.
