And the Indians have been trying to tell them this, you know, they called it like the great white bear and stuff like be careful with the great white bear.

And well, they shoot these things and they immediately charge at them.

So they, you know, these are, they're shooting flintlocks.

So it's not like they can just empty a mag into them.

So they turn and run.

And it gets to the point where Lewis has to jump into the Missouri River to try to get away from this bear.

It chased him for like 80 yards before it had, you know, and that one that chased him gets all the way to the river and then finally starts to tire and doesn't come in the water after him anymore.

The other one had ran toward them and then died.

It was hit more in the heart, but the, then they go back and do like examine these bears and he realizes how big they are.

And then he writes about how different this place is and how wild and difficult it's going to be to tame.

You know, if the bears are this much harder out here, then what else are we going to find?

And then the one that he, that chased him, he'd hit it through both lungs.

Wow.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, man.

Grizz are no bullshit, for sure.

Yeah.

And even in my own life, I enjoy, I like just looking at Grizz, but I take them pretty seriously.

Yeah, yeah.
