Troy Hurtubise is obsessed with grizzly bears and nothing makes him happier than to be facing one down. But though Hurtubise may be a tad eccentric, he is not suicidal (whether or not he is a fool is left to the viewer's discretion) and so he has devised an amazing suit of flexible armor capable of withstanding unbelievable abuse. This Canadian documentary, follows Hurtubise's odd obsession and the many travails he endured while perfecting his amazing protective suit. Though laced with humor often at the bear man's expense, the subject is a real person and his absurd tests really occurred.
