15ft....wow. I hope to never encounter one that close.

We have been huckleberry picking this week, so bear awareness is high on our minds.

Handsome creatures, but I hope never to meet one face to face. I do need to buy some of that stuff though.

We have always carried bear spray with us on our travels. Good for bears and most any other animal (including humans) that might want to harm you. Traveling into Canada it is the only weapon they will allow to cross the border. In fact, if the container does not say bear spray and they find it they will not allow it in. Thanks for sharing the video.

Neal, that's not a good brand. Counter assault or UDAP are the only ones that are tested and manufactured to extreme standards. Its the only ones the forest service will use, as they will spray continously for 7 seconds and create a large cloud. These are rated for 30 ft for a large cloud. Very important.

The one I bought isn't available, not sure why. So I picked Amazon's Best Seller. Let me see if I can find your suggestions and repost the links. SABRE frontiersman is what I got. Checking now...

Links updated to the suggested brands. Thanks for the heads up to steer people in the right direction that are going in the wrong direction!

They all have expiration dates too. Check those. Once expired, use them as testing and training for yourself and others that hike with you.
