Will I Be Safe Using Bear Mace?

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

When you are going hiking or camping in bear country (which is just about anywhere in North America where you might conceivably go hiking or camping!), knowing how to protect yourself from bears will be important. While such precautions as storing your food away from your tent and wearing bells on your belt loops are certainly effective, neither of these will be especially useful if you startle as bear, or if you accidentally come between a bear and its cubs.

While you might have seen that many sports and outdoors stores sell "bear spray" (or "bear mace"), it is natural to wonder whether such a product actually works; after all, the last thing you would want would be to spray a bear in the face with something, and for it to have no effect but to further enrage the bear!

Bear mace is really just a more highly-concentrated variation of regular mace (with the higher concentration designed to take care of a larger attacker) and when used properly, bear mace truly does work - and if you search around online, you will find many first-hand accounts of its effectiveness!

Guard Alaska Bear Defense Spray is the best product when it comes to bear mace, as it is designed for use on grizzly bears and is therefore effective on every type of bear; also, you can save ten dollars on Guard Alaska Bear Defense Spray when you shop for it on Amazon.

Bear mace is usually designed to spray up to 30 feet, which means that you will be able to use it before the bear gets too close, and while it will spray continuously for about eight seconds, it is more effective if you use it in short bursts.

The best approach to staying safe from bears is to avoid them altogether, but if you are going to be spending time in bear country, bring some bear mace with you, and be ready to use it in case you come across a bear, or in case a bear attacks!
