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

bear spray is better than not having it, I'd carry a gun, but not sure about

Bear spray much more effective than a pistol.

dtownCoug

5/21/17 9:19pm

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

Amazing that long guns are shown to be less effective than handguns

A hand gun would be better in close quarters than a long gun.

Sure. It will piss it off and it will kill you faster.

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

Worst bears I've ever encountered

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

Find a hiking companion who runs slower than you do.

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

cheezedawg

5/21/17 8:15pm

The gag thing actually works though

phageman

5/21/17 8:41pm

Yeah, I know, There are 2 documented cases of people surviving bear attacks by

cheezedawg

5/22/17 12:17am

Definitely get spray

phageman

5/21/17 8:40pm

Don't end up like this, or worse...

Jericho

5/21/17 10:07pm

agreed, this is why you need bear spray

DapperDan

5/22/17 7:06am

Or a firearm...

Jericho

5/22/17 8:38am

Isn't bear spray better than a firearm? A firearm is really just a placebo for

CDV

5/22/17 8:44am

Sure, if you want to get mauled

DapperDan

5/22/17 8:50am

Or if you want to kill an attacking bear

Jericho

5/22/17 8:53am

It's good to want. In the real world, bear spray is more effective.

DapperDan

5/22/17 9:00am

There's some debate about that

Jericho

5/22/17 9:08am

Yes, those who use their gut think guns are better, while those who use facts

DapperDan

5/22/17 9:12am

The numbers aren't so lopsided that it's super clear that bear spray is better

Jericho

5/22/17 9:19am

Just because you love guns doesn't make them the best tool for the job

DapperDan

5/22/17 9:27am

I don't have a problem with bear spray. IMO, I'd carry both if I was that

Jericho

5/22/17 9:35am

The Point about the grizzly bears is that they probably skew the numbers

Jericho

5/22/17 9:39am

According to whom?

DapperDan

5/22/17 9:48am

We get it. You two disagree. As a neutral observer, I'd say

frontrowcougar

5/22/17 2:08pm

Flamethrower? Pffff. Anything short of an RPG is just child's play.

sgriff

5/22/17 2:18pm

Just because you love RPGs doesn't make them the best tool for the job

frontrowcougar

5/22/17 2:55pm

Just because you're anti RPG doesn't mean it won't work for me. And you're idea

sgriff

5/22/17 3:05pm

I'm not afraid of a flaming grizzly. Some are just born that way. Bigot.

frontrowcougar

5/22/17 3:25pm

Flaming bears are scary. Just ask Leo Dicaprio's character from "The Revenant"

sgriff

5/22/17 3:37pm

Whoa. Just realized you can combine flaming bears and RPGs. Voila:

frontrowcougar

5/22/17 3:46pm

You didnt have a childhood if you didnt have a flamethrower as a kid...

Jericho

5/22/17 3:08pm

Well, I did have bug spray and a lighter. Does that count?

sgriff

5/22/17 3:13pm

Depends, is there someone in your party that runs slower than you?
