This is nuts:

A 55-year-old tourist from Indiana was hiking through dense fog in the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska Monday night when he came across a mother grizzly and her cubs. The mother bear and multiple cubs "charged him from nearby bushes," and though they were able to puncture his calf, ribs, and shoulder, he got out the bear spray just in the nick of time and cut the attack short.

This must've been excruciating, both mentally and physically, but our guy got it together and started hiking toward safety—probably with his hand on the bear spray the entire time.

With wounds all over his body, this bro hiked 1.5 miles to a visitor's center, and, as luck would have it, he came across a few medical personnel who happened to be vacationing in the area.

These beautiful people treated our 55-year-old Indianan, and some sort of bus driver called 911.

The hiker was taken to a medical center near the park before he was transferred to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, about 120 miles away, park officials said. He was stabilized at the Fairbanks hospital, they said.

What a guy!

He deserves mad props for his survival skills!

And get this: the area where the attack took place is now closed for a week. This is done in order to give the grizzlies a break from humans and help them stay on the wild side.

If I were a grizzly this would make me happy.
