Talk about a close call.

Camping is great and all, but it does leave you at the mercy of nature. You know, if you're really roughing it out there with tents and what not. If you're toughing it out in a 30-foot camper with running water, I don't know if you can really call that camping.

In this clip, we get to see how nature can show its teeth at any moment. A family camping together was set up on some...

Grizzly Bear Charges Through Campsite, Right Past Stunned Campers

A fed bear is a dead bear.

Just as there are a plethora of things you can do to avoid being attacked by a bear, there are a number of things you can do that virtually assure you'll be charged by one.
