Web Catch: Woman thanks bear for not eating kayak, bear eats kayak

Someday you may find yourself on a solo kayak trip in the Alaskan wilderness.

And on that day you may hear a bear rummaging through your things while you are eating lunch.

If and when that day arrives, learn from Mary Maley's experience.

Things start out cordially enough. Maley sees that the bear has spared her kayak and takes time to express her gratitude. "Thank you for leaving my kayak alone!" she shouts toward her furry foe.

But things quickly turn hostile as the bear ambles toward Maley, and soon all pleasantries are abandoned. "I'm going to pepper spray you in the face," she threatens. "That's what I'm going to do with you."'

As it turns out, bears don't enjoy being pepper sprayed in the face.
