Counter Assault

<p>Like car insurance, bear spray is one of those things you need and hope you’ll never actually need. When travelling in bear country, bear spray is an easy way to help stay safe. Your first and best defence against a bear attack is prevention: good food hygiene in camp, awareness and making noise while underway, anything that gives bears a chance to steer clear. But if a close encounter does occur, you'll appreciate having a non-lethal deterrent. This spray causes temporary eye tearing and respiratory distress, but leaves no permanent damage, so you get to carry on with your day and so does the bear.</p><ul><li>1.1% capsaicin plus 0.9% related capsaicinoids, for a total heat equivalent of 2.0% total capsaicinoids</li><li>Fires for approximately 7 seconds</li><li>Range is roughly 10m</li><li>Developed in Montana with grizzly encounter survivor and the university of Montana</li><li>Glow-in-the-dark safety clip lets you find the unit in the dark</li><li>Zap tie prevents accidental loss of safety clip</li><li>Note: When purchasing or picking up bear spray in-store, valid Photo ID is required</li></ul>
