Folks, congradulations on kicking those habits! It is a huge challenge, and I admire your fortitude. As far as Treadwell is concerned, I hope his death prevents other folks from getting too cuddly with these bears. They are WILD, and deserve all the respect we can give them.

Most of her friends and family that I have read interviews with, sort of describe her as quite and kinda shy and naive. It seems like she just bought into Treadwell's BS of what a "bear expert" and "outdoors man" he claimed to be and trusted that he knew what he was doing.
Treadwell had a long history of con games and lies, and when he sits on stage and BS's David Letterman, that's one thing. But his crap got this girl killed in just about as horrific way imaginable.

If you die alone doing something like that...you're cool...mistaken in your beliefs and skills and the application of those skills...but cool.
You get someone else killed...you're a (insert expletive here). He got his girlfriend eaten by a bear he's a (insert expletive here).
I haven't seen Grizzlyman diary or whatever...but I did see the feature documentary where they found some footage of his girlfriend...terrified doesn't quite fit the description of her as he's operating the camera telling her to lean in closer to the bear...
Fool. Got what he deserved.

I've never smoked, but I dipped for many years. I quit 23 years ago when my kid was born. Nasty habit, and I'm told, harder to quit than the smokes. A man is way ahead of the game not being dependent on any substance, especially in a survival situation.

Hmmm.... when a man's last words are "Hit it with the frying pan! Hit it with the frying pan!", it leaves some doubt as to his legacy. Treadwell didn't end up as bear food, he wound up as bear crap.
the bear was found, beheaded and the contents of its stomach removed for study, so i don't think tredwell made it all the way to bear crap.
