Reddit reviews SABRE Frontiersman Bear Spray 7.9 oz (Holster Options & Multi-Pack Options) Maximum Strength & Larger Protective Barrier!

This is easy, the answer is bear-mace. 1-day shipping from amazon. http://smile.amazon.com/SABRE-FRONTIERSMAN-Attack-Deterrent-Holster/dp/B002E6VAHK

Some bear mace should do the trick. Sprays 30 feet and is much lighter than any useful rifle or handgun.

Good alternative (*might be illegal in some states): Pepper spray can blow back to cause problems; this is the best alternative (except for the one below). The disadvantage is that is has only two shots. I knew a guy whose 10 year old got hold of it from his hiking backpack and accidentally shot it against the wall. the whole family had to get out, fast.

• Delivery speed of 112 MPH keeps blasts on target, reducing the risk of blowback or drift
  
• At just 4.2 ounces, pepperblaster II is state-of-the-art protection

  Best alternative (probably illegal (for carry) in most states unless you are hiking. This stuff will stop a bear - really! I decided to test mine with a fraction-of-a-second shot into a (clean) empty toilet bowl. On firing it *completely* displaced all the water in the bowl which dissipated throughout the bathroom, including onto "moi". Within 2 seconds I was gasping for air (even though the stuff has been highly diluted with clean toilet bowl water). I had to run for an open window or I would have collapsed. Had to leave my place for 5 hours, and then come back and clean up the bathroom with rubber gloves. I had really uncomfortable burns on my hands and face for the next 10 hours from the initial hit of diluted spray. Makes a great bedside weapon if you are shy about owning a gun. Also, a handly concealed alternative if you are walking through a dangerous neighborhood at night. We're talking a 30 foot jet of pure heat that will deter a bear.

I talked to a wild life officer in NC about this a few months back. He actually said that in most cases hikers/campers are better off with the large "Bear Sized" pepper sprays. The reason is, most people when in an "attack" situation cannot get off well placed shots on an attacking animal ( And that in the last 2 years, he has had ~5 reports of people shooting at bears in 'self defense' and none of those people have actually hit the bears). Where the spray can "Blanket" the area. He also said that people are more likely to use the spray as a deterrent before even getting into an attack situation. Which also helps keep the animals scared of humans.

He did however say that most officers carry 45 and that 10mm is gaining popularity for capacity reasons. The reason being that they are both devastating rounds at close range, which is where most likely you'll end up needing it. He also noted that they are not just for protecting against animals, but also against people which is why there isn't much .357.

That was the other interesting thing. He stated that many hikers/campers tend to carry CRAZY firepower. .44mag, .357, etc. Thinking that they need "Grizzly Bear Stopping" type rounds. He joked and said that they should be more scared of the people in the woods, and not the animals and a good personal defense round is what they should carry. (He noted he personally carries .45 Winchester PDX).

Personally, If I was in your shoes. I'd carry the spray, and then what ever personal defense round you feel most comfortable. The only exception to this rule may be Grizzly bears -- But IIRC That is really only an issue in like Montana.

Booyah

Go for the stuff marketed as "bear spray"; the thirty-foot range puts you a little further from the attacker, and you don't need more than the 7-8 ounce size which fits conveniently in a jersey pocket. Most sprays only have a ten-foot range.

A rape siren is usually better at dissuading wildlife than the pepper spray; the sound drives them just as nuts as it drives you.

Go with bear spray, more range than pepper spray

I'll play. Let's assume bugging in. No wind in your house, right? You don't live within 1000' of a school, right?

Answer: Pepper spray. Or mace, or whatever, preferably this.

And now the flip side: you just sprayed a hell of a lot of a toxic substance inside your house. But you had time to put on eye, nose and mouth protection, right? And you can close yourself off from that room for hours so that the toxins can settle a bit? And then you can go clean that room without getting it in you eyes, etc.?

Huge pain in the ass, but way better than letting a home invader get the best of you.

Also, while they are rolling around on the ground, holding their face and screaming, beat the crap out of them with your baseball bat.

I carry bear spray, just in case. Honestly the biggest worry I have is wild animals.

I carry Frontiersman because it's got a good 30' throw and I really like the holster.

I carry it on my belt on my right (dominant) hand side with the safety tab still in place. The lining of the holster is smooth and doesn't bind up the can.

I can draw the can free with one finger while I'm pulling the safety tab back with my thumb and then spray it in one fairly smooth motion.

Fuck, get this! This shit stops BEARS!

this shit does the trick too

picturing scenario of ordering this off amazon, and having it stolen off porch

Just buy some bear pepper spray and stop being such a girly man.

Bear sprays work from 30 feet away. If the bear was an arms length away from you, the spray wouldn't help much, would it?

You be fucking real.

Buy Bear Spray for piece of mind. It's basically just pepper spray that you can use from 30 feet away.

Bear spray has range, but it's weaker than the stuff you can get for people. Most bear spray is around 2% OC, while the human stuff is up to 17% OC

We don't have to be as nice to people as we are to animals.

When I play certain courses, one of these gets clipped to my bag.

Bear spray or Pepper spray. A dose of this may well have disabled the creep until the police could wrap him up and totally remove the issue, and him.

Can you get Bear Spray in the UK?

Bear Spray example

I have a can of Sabre but I've never actually had to "use" it. Some friends of mine who are hiking guides up in Alaska carry it for what thats worth.

Are there any major differences with brands? This one look identical but cheaper https://www.amazon.com/Frontiersman-Spray-Holster-Access-Strength/dp/B002E6VAHK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1543592517&sr=8-4&keywords=bear+spray

https://www.amazon.com/Frontiersman-Spray-Holster-Access-Strength/dp/B002E6VAHK

Don't carry bear spray specifically but I do carry OC spray (essentially the same stuff but for people, AKA less strength).

I use Sabre Red for work. Their bear spray line is 2% major capsaicinoids (what makes it hot) while the stuff I carry is 1.33%. Don't get drawn into the claims of scoville units as a rating of how effective it will be.

I've been sprayed with stuff that was less than 1% (somewhere around .75% if I recall) and it felt like my face was melting for a good long while so I could only imagine what 2% feels like.

Also comes with a holster for your belt but with your hip belt for your pack it might not be feasible to carry it there. You could probably find a way to rig it to a shoulder strap on your pack fairly easily though.

Also, most bear sprays are a "fogger" type spray. They will shoot with a good bit of force to propel it some distance but after that initial burst out of the canister be ready for it to get blown around by wind quite easily, and if the wind is blowing towards you, you could be in for some pain.

you should keep a can of this under your desk for the next assult: http://www.amazon.com/Frontiersman-Bear-Attack-Deterrent-Holster/dp/B002E6VAHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341810206&sr=8-1&keywords=bear+mace

Take your own bear spray and fucking spray them back you fucking pussies. Here, you can buy it on Amazon.

Jesus Christ ... how many times do you stupid fuckers have to get your necks stomped before you start stomping back?

Why the fuck is Linda Katehi still walking around the UC campus not in fear of being bear sprayed by you guys?

Bill Ayers bombed shit. That's how he got his power. Used it to install a President.

If they don't fear you, you're nothing.
