That is some serious guts. Having lived in Alaska, and herd some stories, (some true and some to outragous to not be true)

Having been within 300 Yards (that is over 900 feet) of a wild Polar bear on a snowmobile, I can tell you that is a level of fear that I prefer not to have in my life. It didn't help that the snowmobile wasn't starting.

I can't even come close to comprehending how cool and level headed this person must be.
