Updated with a new more powerful formula. Your first and best defence against a bear attack is prevention: good food hygiene in camp, awareness and making noise while underway, anything that gives bears a chance to steer clear. But close encounters may occur despite all your precautions. At such times, you'll appreciate having an active, non-lethal deterrent. This spray causes temporary eye tearing and respiratory distress, but leaves no permanent damage.
