Frontiersman Bear Attack Deterrent Spray

Purchased to keep in my family’s camping backpack. Just in case. We have never had to use it.

Good delivery and ease of packaging but this doesn't seem to have the most pungent smell of the bear pepper spray's I have bought. Not sure yet if this one will do the trick. Hopefully I will never need to use it, but this is what I carry when going on my mtn bike in grizzly country, and I have not yet had any bears approach me while on the bike. Hope I never will. This is what I use while fishing in the Kenai as well.

Haven't had to use it yet, but glad I brought it just in case

We have just begun taking hiking trips in the Appalachian mountain region and also a few times per year going on camping trips to visit friends who have camps in Allegany and Steuben county. We have been advised to carry protection in case of encounters with bears, since we do not live in bear country, the closest place bears inhabit, which is to the west, north and northeast. I've carried firearms in my younger years, including having an A.C.P. magazine and several S&W, Springfield, Kimber and Ruger semi-automatic pistols, plus an A.R.15, along with being trained in combat firearms tactics by U.S. Navy Instructors at SLEP/COT. My daughter has not ever had any such training, nor myself, nor my wife who only occasionally accompany me on hiking trips and/or camping trips. We do, however, stay abreast of national current events, which may include bear maulings of individuals who had not properly defended themselves. The question of the type of self-defense, if need be, when encounters a dangerous creature of nature that had decided to become aggressive or even violent towards humans is not only based on past experiences, but on local information, as well. When we were living in Florida and had our timeshare in Daytona Beach, we were constantly reminded to be mindful of the shore bears that occasionally showed up in beach front homes, sometimes during a hurricane. These were smaller bear but much larger and hairier than their counterparts up north. I personally, when encountering a huge bear who could maul me and my daughter like he did to one unfortunate man, with one arm holding my (safely away from the bears grasp) hiking pole (similar to ones on which many types of large baton type of firearms can be attached), that bear could maul me to death with just one arm before my daughter could draw her small pistol, even at point blank range. As to myself, I am retired, age 78, disabled and am also carrying insulin, that may cause

This bear spray is fantastic and I highly recommend it

Really like how it attaches to belt. The thumb release is much easier than some others I have tried

I have been using it for walking in some dense forest area of the woods around here (PA) and I have seen bears several times but have not been approached by any. I like the idea of having a 30 ft range for more leeway. It seems to be a good size and has a cap that you have to push in to activate the dial to spray. There is some pretty scary images of what a sprayed bear will look like on the side of the container, but thankfully I haven't seen that happen yet. If you are thinking of using this for camping, or otherwise I recommend buying the holster to go with it, because the bear spray itself will give you quite a kick, so you want to keep it secure. Overall a good product.

As far as I can tell, it works exactly as advertised. It does leave residue on fabric and on hands for several minutes after deployment, and has to be shaken off after it's deployed to clear the stream. I've had it in my backpack for the entire 5 day WFR class I'm taking in the woods with other students. So far, so good.

I hope to never use it!

Good item to have. Never used it but hopefully won't have to.

This was my first time using it and I had to use it twice on two different occasions. It worked both times and kept me safe from a couple of aggressive dogs!
