A Grizzly Bear stepped on my friends head in Alaska while we were sleeping . So we were camped on a gravel bar during a float trip in Alaska . It was the middle of the night and my Dad and I were in one tent and our friend Harold was in the other . We are woken up by him screaming Bear Bear ! slightly confused we open then tent to look outside , and sure enough there is a big Grizzly just walking down the gravel bar away from us . Apparently it was curiousone of the most dangerous things in a bear honestly and it was checking out our tents . It put its paw on top of Harold ' s tent and it slipped down to land right on his face . Luckily it only bent a few of the poles and went on its way , but still quite a shocking way to be woken up . Tents now go back to back every night . Also one year his tent flew across the river during a huge windstorm half way through the trip and landed safely in some willows . That was one resilient tent .
