Ah, influencers. What a strange modern phenomenon. We just sincerely hope this influencer doesn’t influence anyone to do what she does in this pair of Instagram videos, which are basically a catalogue of what not to do when you meet some bears on a trail. Especially when the bears in question are a sow with cubs.
In the video, Instagram influencer Laura Gold comes upon the bears while out trail running on Mount Wilson in California’s Sierra Madre. Rather than give them space – which is what all bear safety information and, let’s face it, plain common sense, urges you to do under such circumstances – she follows them around a corner.
