Useless couple

They both had their faults.

Girl mingles with strangers in the woods who appears to be a psychopath.
Guy doesn't think bear repellent, flare, or phone is necessary to take with you in the woods.
Guy takes girlfriends cellphone and leaves it in the car, brings no map or GPS, leaves Axe behind on a tree, then next to a fire.
Guy opens tent repeatedly after seeing the bear out there, then causes too much movement and commotion that attracts bear towards the tent.
Girl doesn't use repellent, whistle, or flare against the bear when it drags her boyfriend away to be mauled to death.
Girl turns back towards bear to see her mauled up torn boyfriend and stands there awaiting for the bear to maul her next?

Pure imbeciles.

I agree. Also, I think it was stupid to put those blood socks on the tree, they should've burned it. Everyone knows bears can smell blood like sharks very well.

There was absolutely no chemistry between this couple and nothing about them that made me care whether they lived or died. When the guy's leg was chewed off to where the bone was exposed, he was a dead man since obviously no serious or competent medical assistance would be forthcoming in time to save him. When his face was chewed off, well that settled it. The bear wasn't very bright either - it let the lawyer get away. At least the world was spared from any possible offspring of these two Darwin Award winners.
