I don't get it. My garage, closet, and second flor are full of items that are absolutely vital. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent a fortune on them....

I agree, that is a superb statement.

I think this is absolutely necessary; from what I understand, bears are attracted to the ingredients in the spray after it's been dispersed (it is food) and are therefore likely to return.


The bears don't come back because it is food. They come back because they know you are out of bear spray. smile

As I mention in the other spray thread,there are times when you may have to use it for 2 legged threats too,dont want to dismiss that possibility.That can be a far more serious threat than bears.
