We can all agree that being woken up well before you planned to, sucks, but your drunken housemate’s rank one-night-stand noises stirring your slumber at 2am ain’t got shit on this Colorado teen’s wake-up-call via the sound of an actual bear attempting to eat his noggin.
One more time for those at the back: a dude woke up because his head was inside the jaws of a bear. A bear was trying to eat his sconce. One second asleep, next second waking to a giant mammal trying to pop open your melon with its mouth and devour the goo inside.
Only known as Dylan, the 19-year-old, a staffer at a wilderness survival camp at Glacier View Ranch in northern Colorado, was sleeping outside when he awoke at 4am to a “crunching sound”, which turned out to be due to the fact a black bear was chomping down on his skull.
The bear reportedly dragged Dylan out of his sleeping bag and across the ground until punches and kicks from himself and other campers forced it to drop him and flee.
The dude is amazingly doing fine after a deadly animal sunk its teeth into his skull, with only minor injuries tended to at a local hospital.
In an insanely chill interview with Denver’s ABC7 News, Dylan tells of the sound of “the crunching noise, [which] I guess, was the teeth scraping against the skull as it dug in.”

The wilderness survival camp is going ahead as scheduled with several bear traps deployed to hopefully, safely remove the unusually bold and dangerous bear from the area.
Dylan is also back at the camp, returning to his classes which we assume now includes, ‘How To Not Get Eaten By Bears (Well, Not All The Way At Least)’.
