I think most people are pulling it out as soon as they see the bear

Most will crap down their legs and freeze when the bear charges I think I would be gone.

My two pitbull‘s got in a fight and I use an entire can of pepper spray and it barely stopped him from continuing to fight. It’s probably not gonna do anything against the bear.

92% affective and he makes it sound a lot harder than it really is.

Why would you need to pull it out and take the safety off??? That’s the first mistake right there.

Alaskan here whose health with bears for 40 years. Bear mace is definitely easier and faster to deploy then getting a shot off - and you’re far less likely to miss lol

idea: bear mace but like tear gas. area denial is just better against a bear.

I’ve used it four times and it has worked all four times and scared me nearly to death with how close the bear was every time. It works but you should constantly pull it and mentally use it whenever your hiking just to keep the muscle memory. Great tip from Forrest as always!

bear mace is not for the bear that's for your buddy so he can't see where to run so you can get away

I get it may be harder to use then what you think, but what's the alternative if you're in that situation?

yeah if you go through the procedures that he just told you, you're not going to make it. when you know you're in their habitat, have the Bear Spray in your hand, safety off and ready to spray the instant the tank begins.

bear mace covers a large spread area, and you don't have to do much aiming

You don’t have to “aim”. It spreads out…and you should practice getting it out prior to hiking/walking in bear country…I would prefer to just carry it in my hand when I’m walking.

yeah but there's accounts of people using it effectively so this kinda deterring talk is counter productive

The point is , if you are walking through woods that are known to have bears , you have it at the ready at all times. or you have your gun at the ready. explore nature wisely.

dual-secure holster. the can is secured in a pistol positioned holster with a clip tethering the pin back the holster so when it's pulled out, the pin also gets ripped out.
