Did you know that bear spray works as a deterrent for a lot of species, not just bears? Bear spray is a highly effective tool against all mammals and may be useful should you find yourself in a rare, but possible, unsafe wildlife encounter. We sometimes wish it was called “Wildlife Spray” because it is not just for bears. Carrying bear spray can also help provide peace-of-mind for those who may be less comfortable venturing into nature — or even for those that live in areas where these animals may pass through.
See our FAQs below to learn more about why we encourage people to keep bear spray accessible when living in rural areas or recreating outdoors.
