Try making your own out of blackberry jam and beef jerky.

Bear spray much more effective than a pistol.

90% effective vs 84% effective and more recent studies are even calling those

For the record, bear spray is by far the most effective deterrent for bears.

Just cry and yell at the bear. Ask the bear why the bear is eating your kayak.

If a bear attacks, simply shove your arm into its open mouth and down its throat
