What To Do When A Bear Suddenly Appear During Your Camping

By Harri D Gatsch


I woke up drenched in sweat, my heart thumping. I was dreaming a bear was going after me and I tripped, turned on my back and tried groping for a weapon. A huge paw was coming to my face when I snapped out of the dream. My palm was on my waist, and I understood I was looking for my Mace bear pepper spray.

We are prepared to proceed camping this weekend, and my uncle recommended that we bring protection from grizzlies, preferably one that is non-fatal. So, bear pepper spray, it is. Specially developed for these types of wildlife residents, its effects are quick, but fade away sooner or later.

Just before obtaining one, I read this is the more preferred animal repellent as compared to firearms, that can produce irreversible injury to both bears as well as people. Besides, panic is the very first response the instant met with bears. Thus, unless you're very skilled at shooting, you lower the probabilities of pushing the bear away and raise the probability of your being injured.

The majority of bear encounters are surprises therefore quick reflexes are necessary to become effective in utilizing bear repellent. Even from a distance of 35 feet, my spray can immobilize a grizzly bear and also provide me time to flee.

Self defense spray for grizzlies causes momentary blindness and confusion, and makes it challenging for the animals to breathe. Moreover, that teaches the grizzlies a lesson so they ultimately avoid humans after their awful experience.

Uncle Ben advised that we purchase a holster to handle the 9.2 oz. canister of EPA approved pepper formulation. This way, it is within easy reach in the event of a bear attack. He then mentioned we ought to practice spraying straight from the holster just in case we can't get it out promptly.

The formula of 2% capsaicinoids is the greatest in the market, making it a lot more hazardous for people, who should not be in contact with bear spray.

It seems like we are all set for our camping outdoors. And I patted the Mace bear spray in my backpack, feeling secure with it.
