There may be some validity to what he is doing, but that is mostly an entertainment video. Standing at ready with your rifle in hand is not a real life bear encounter. The bear approaching him at that speed is likely real time, but without the rifle in hand and ready to fire, he would have been a sandwich for that bear.

Snowshoes on hard pack takes some seriousness out of what he is doing, it is easy to be critical, but he makes it even easier...
