But don’t do it, different mixture that is less effective on humans than good pepper spray and emits in a fog which is good for bears smell factor but will drift back over the sprayer.

There was a case in south Florida where some dirtbag attacked a woman in her kitchen, presumably with the intention of rape. She responded by throwing a pan of boiling water on him, then hosing him in the face with a can of Easy-Off® oven cleaner, then beating him about the head, shoulders and face with a marble rolling pin until it BROKE!!!
I was working in the ER at the time when he was brought in on a stretcher. As memory serves, he had multiple facial & skull(?) fractures, missing/broken teeth, broken/dislocated jaw, broken collarbone, chemical burns on his face/eyes, 1st-2nd degree thermal burns on his face, neck, chest and lower abdomen……you GO girl!!! 😀
The fact that this POS actually TRIED TO SUE HER FOR HIS INJURIES was the trigger that resulted in Florida’s Crime Victims Relief Act!! Which basically stated that if you LEGALLY AND JUSTIFIABLY defended yourself and it resulted in injury or death of the perpetrator/assailant, neither they nor their survivors (should he be killed) have any civil suit rights against the defender, their families or property.
It further states that if you were NOT justified in your use of force and were criminally convicted, you were still open to civil actions.
This law was a long time in coming because Dimocrats in the FL legislature kept blocking or tying it up in committee to where it never made it to the floor for debate. But the outrage of this particular case made opposition to this bill totally unpalatable so with much wailing, wringing of hands, clutching of pearls and gnashing of teeth on the part of the Left, it passed and was signed into law.

Meanwhile in the People’s Republic of Canuckistan (formerly Canada), the Liberals and their obedient media are in panic mode because Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservatives, is talking about introducing a form of Castle Law after a number of high profile horrific incidents.

Love a girl who didn’t choose the bear. Shows sense.
Park rangers are advising hikers and campers in national parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance, so they won’t be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them, which might cause a bear to charge.
Visitors are told they should also carry a pepper spray can just in case they encounter a bear. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear’s sensitive nose and it will run away.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear droppings so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognise the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.

The wisdom about bears here in Montana is: If you climb a tree to escape the bear, a black bear will climb it after you. The grizzly will just push the tree down. Either way, you’re screwed. Favorite bumper sticker: Anything that doesn’t kill you will make you stronger. Except for bears. Bears will kill you.
Several years ago naturalist nutball Timothy Treadwell and his girl set out to prove their love for and communication with the grizzlies in Alaska. Went well until the bears got hungry and he recorded himself being eaten.

When I was stationed out west, I was on the Base Small Arms Team. Our homemade 300 yd rifle range was part of the air-ground range and a good 20 minute drive from the main gate. We generally only used it on evenings and weekends when there weren’t any A/C around and we had several hundred square miles to ourselves.
The entire range was polluted with what we called cinnamon bears that as near as anyone could figure out were in between a black bear and a grizzly, the grizzlies usually being further west and the black bears further south. They were bigger than a black bear and a kind of cinnamon colour unlike either blacks or grizzlies.
It was routine to see at least a dozen along the roadside on the way in and out and nobody working there was permitted to go on the range without being armed with either a shotgun or an FN or .303 rifle. Lunches had been stolen out of trucks and the US crews that came to the range with their Sqn’s when they came up to train there seemed to almost always have a run in with one although neither man nor beast had been hurt so far as I know.
Other than the Arctic Rangers, we were the only ones with .303’s and FN’s still in use, the C7’s 5.56 wouldn’t reliably set off the acoustic ‘bullet counters’ in the strafe pits for the A/C cannon to calibrate it, but a .303 or 7.62 would, the shotguns were ostensibly for bird control, the SSG and slugs were because…bears.
One particular weekend day in theearly summer we were getting ready for the National Matches, it was after supper but it never really got dark that time of year. I was on ‘bear watch’, we assumed a 5.56 might not down a bear but a magazine on auto would.
We’d finished a 300 yd match and were headed down to score and patch when I noticed a yearling bear about thirty yards from one end of the target line. We kept an eye on it while we got closer and it didn’t move. We patched out and were headed back to the firing point when it got up and ambled closer. When it got to about twenty yards I fired a ‘warning shot’…it paid no attention…I fired a second one into the ground about five feet in front of it..it kept walking slowly closer, I could hear magazines lockiong in and bolts cycling as I said “fuck it” and dumped the rest of the mag into the dirt…it took about two more steps then stopped, looked around, grunted then turned around and wandered off toward the treeline. I didn’t really want to shoot it, or even find out what a burst of 5.56 would do to it, I don’t like bear meat anyway. I think it was deaf from the constant jet flights, bombs, rockets and cannon fire on range days. From then on I brought my .30-06 along and one of the other RSO’s brought a 7mm mag. just in case…
We did have access to flare guns with ‘smoke puff’ cartridges that made a very loud report, and CS canisters as well, this being some 30+ years ago OC wasn’t on the scale of issue yet, but unlike our 5.56 we kept in the team lockup, those had to be turned in every night and that was a nuisance both for us and the X-area duty tech. A .30-06 makes a loud report too and a solid hit with a 180gr Sierra boat tail can definitely make your eyes water 😉

Funny with the bear spray.
But don’t do it, different mixture that is less effective on humans than good pepper spray and emits in a fog which is good for bears smell factor but will drift back over the sprayer.

IANAL, but as I understand, while pepper spray is legal in D.C., bear spray is not. And make sure it’s not outdated.

In a pinch, wasp spray works as well..or oven cleaner. I had it in my hand, instinct took over.

Had to be done, I’m sorry I’m the first.

Completely off topic but bear with me…it’s perfect and it describes the attitude of leftists and the media exactly…unfortunately 🙁

The Desantisizer has ordered rainbow crossings out. One flag. One people? Not so much.

They remind me far more of vermin and pigs at a trough.
