Yes her voice is annoying but you can hear the fear and desperation in it too.
So i kinda feel bad for her, out in bumfuck nowhere and your mode of transportation is getting rekt. together with some of your other gear...
she tries to be nice (mistake) to the bear as she doesn't want to hurt him and doesn't want to make it more hostile.
but if she doesn't intervene she will get royally fucked, some natural damage can be fixed and i expect she has stuff for that. But after a bear used it as a chew toy ? good luck with that..
land route ? looks like at least a 30 miles on horrible terrain with gear for kayaking not hiking. and then the town is still on the other side of the water.
Lucky she could swim out to a boat to get help from the boat since the sv radio was not working.
>what would i have done ?i guess i would have reacted in a similar way, though i would be more aggressive (since i am a 94 kg 190 male with a very deep voice it might be more successful)
+Use something to make noise like pots or that ever is in the 1 room cabin
+Use strobe mode on my flashlight
But i would have my own mode of commutation with me. maybe rented a "spot" or similar beacon.
Plus since im a fan of pyrotechnics and im a stupid man child i very frequently carry stuff like this...
