I think a can of bear pepper spray, or regular pepper spray is the best defense.If you carry a gun and you use it in the wrong situation you could wind up in just as much trouble if not more than the unwanted person. Pepper spray is very affective and nonleathal. I own several guns but 90% of the time I am better off with pepper spray. If somone was to defend themselfs with a gun in a campground with other people around you take the chance of hurting or killing somone on accident.Peppeer spray is a better option for a close quarters defense if other people are around. Plus pepper spray will not draw blood like a knife or gun.If the person has aids that could be very scary if you were to get the blood on you. Knife is a must. A billion uses for one.Multi tool about a trillion uses.

Just curious, what is the difference between "bear" pepper spray and regular pepper spray? Is it stronger? Or is it weaker, just to scare the bear?

I thought it was just the larger container and propellant that made it reach out more. I say we find someone to test it on and see if it works the same.

Bear spary is EPA rated,meaning it will not hurt the enviroment. Bear spray is legal just about everywhere. While regular defense pepper spray is regulated in the different states.Like some states your defense pepperspray is limited in size while bear spray is not. Bear spray has a larger spray,it is usally a fogger type spray for up to 30 feet,while regular defense pepper spray is no where close to that normally. Plus bearspary is stronger. You might get into legal trouble if you used it on a human, but if you are a lone woman and felt threatened you gotta do what you gotta do. If the stuff can stop a bears attack imagine what it would do to some creepy dude out in the forest.

OK Oldsarge, - I'll volunteer to test the bear spray. It can't be worse than some of the "tent gas" I've had to endure on group camp-outs. But you have to buy the beer.

Maybe it's all that beer that's polluting your tent. Next time you're on a group camp out. The first one to float a stink biscuit in the tent gets the bear spray!
