Your first and best defence against a bear attack is prevention: good food hygiene in camp, and awareness and making noise while underway to give bears a chance to steer clear. But close encounters may occur despite all your precautions, and you'll appreciate having an active, non-lethal deterrent. This kit contains both an active bear spray and an inert training canister filled with water. The spray causes temporary eye tearing and respiratory distress, but leaves no permanent damage. The training canister is loaded with water but otherwise identical to the real thing, and allows you to become comfortable with canister handling and operation.
