The video gathered thousands of likes and several comments. A user commented, "This encounter could have had several different outcomes other than this one... but thank Goodness this is the best outcome for this dude."
"Black bears rarely attack. Like 1 and a million chances. Just so everyone is aware," said another user.
"I'm not sure who was more freaked out. The bear or man. I'm sure the bear had a story to tell his family and friends too," the third user commented.
"Something similar happended to me when I was relaxing by my camp fire just outside of Yosemite. I looked up, there was the bear but he just kept wandering by and walked off into the forest. I tried to follow him but he was too fast and too quiet," the fourth user shared.
The fifth user joked, "My man saw life zipping like a movie through his mind, but he was still ready to make a move with his pillow, but beary wasn't buying it and split!"
