HAHAHA!
Awesome! Until a bear throws a tree at you.

Was that real?

Seemed spoofy (but funny).

It's truck-proof too

i still need to see project grizzly, the documentary about this whole bear proof suit http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117395/

ROFL that was HILARIOUS!

But here's to the hydraulic exo-skeleton suit being developed for the US military that can allow a person to effortlessly lift hundreds of pounds.

In theory, with some special huge backpack full of ammo, you could maybe mount a gattling gun on each arm and walk around in that thing.

Seriously. lol

I think they're marketing this to hikers.

What do you do with this thing? A bear might not be able to kill you, but it can easily knock you over and now you can't even stand up by yourself. You'd need people who aren't wearing bear suits to help you up.

Am I missing something here, or is it just a hobby to see if he can build something a bear can't tear apart?

The bear suit was originally imagined as a way to study bears up close in relative safety. It even has a shoulder mounted video camera.

Hurtubise has moved on to the Trojan Stealth, a person armour system for military use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPS2l5fQ55A

Well, even if it is bear-proof, you'd still crap your pants. And when the bear then tosses and rolls you around ... it's like taking a shit-shack on a rollercoaster, great fun.

I can't imagine any useful research that could be done with this suit. Put a cage around a 4weeler, and you'd be many times more mobile. I don't see how you would get anywhere close to a bear in this thing. Even if you did, it's not like bears would behave normally around something like this.
