If you got something out of today's episode, and you haven't done this already, the next time the like button wants to go on vacation, send him to the Torngats without a polar bear protection plan.
Wow the irony. I’m literally fishing on a shrimp trawler off of the Torngat mountains and looking at them right in front me. Followed you for a while now and to hear a story of a place that’s literally where I am is mindboggling! From Nova Scotia here!
I’ve heard him talk about this experience before and it’s horrifying. Even scarier is while they were trying to stabilize him and wait on help, multiple other polar bears were stealing them throughout the night.
I was listening to some of his old videos around 9 pm before going to bed, then next thing I know its 3 am and I didnt feel tired at all because of how excited/intrested I was because of his story telling
You are such a good and consistent story teller and it's very nice! It gives the feeling of sitting around the fire and sharing information with family like cavemen. You were even able to express the fear and quickness of the situation. These things happen so fast while adrenaline slows it down and this is the first time I've ever heard somone explain and pace something so well it comes through. Thank you for this! Super interesting
It mentioned that the trip leaders prepared a big feast for the group. In any area where there are bears present it’s not a good idea to cook, eat or store food at your campsite where you sleep. A polar bear has the most powerful sense of smell of all bears and can smell your camp up to 20km away.
I imagine the polar bear walking right through the electrical fence, getting shocked before laughing, "Oh, thanks, I had an itch there" 😳 The fact Matt survived a polar bear attack is absolutely insane
Matt surviving that polar bear attack is beyond incredible. He is a walking miracle that could live to tell the tale.

Mr Ballen is literally the only creator I actually watch the sponsors for. Gotta love Ol' Lungy
Odd and frustrating that the experienced campers didn't realize the importance of distance from water, even after the bears themselves warned them.
Matt's a local hero here in Lewiston, Maine. This was just so awesome hearing his story through you! Thank you!
i love when MrBallen tells his stories about sponsors, can barely say the whole thing without laughing, but theyre funny 😅

Nothing on earth makes me happier than Mr Ballen cracking himself up during an ad read.
Lungy is my favorite character. Such a talented frog. I'm so glad he's back (and that he survived that explosion). :'D

That’s a amazing story and good for him for being positive about his natural experience
I usually skip sponsorship sections of videos but this one was pure gold 😂
Man, that's crazy and I'm so glad Matt survived and seems to have made a pretty nice recovery. Thank you for telling his story. ❤️

Matt came back to the attack site with armed experts was like:

Your adventures with good ol' Lungy always brighten my day

“… went back, but this time he was accompanied by an armed polar bear expert”
