I was at the basement looking for an electric extension wire while my wife was busy doing the laundry when suddenly we heard the loud bark of our pet dog. A stranger must have suddenly appeared outside.
When we checked, we saw a hungry bear trying to snatch off our dog’s lunch. They were having some sort of tug-of-war going on between them.
We came here from the city, taking an outdoor weekend trip to a woodland cottage. We half-expected this kind of experience to happen because of the stories we heard from previous guests.
It was good that we did not overlook our bear spray. But being face to face with a real bear is another thing. Our friends assured us that bear repellents are really effective in the deterrence of these big animals.
So, weeks before our trip, we searched the internet for suitable bear repellents to take along on our trip. We first got introduced to the Mace Bear Repellent Spray. With its Magnum Fogger that can spray up to 30 feet, we thought we could use this bear spray model.
Then, we considered another bear spray, the Guard Alaska Bear Repellent. The advantage of this one is that it can repel all species of bears. That is one consideration that is vital for us because we really do not know what types of bears we are going to encounter.
That was good to know because we do not know what types of bears are roaming in these woods. Aside from that, the catalog said that this is the most effective and powerful bear spray in the market today.
Finally, after all the bear repellents that we looked into, we settled for the Guard Alaska Bear Repellent. We have proven its effectiveness because when we sprayed it to the bear, even at a distance of 15 feet, we saw that he felt the burning heat of the hot pepper in his eyes and face. He quickly ran away and we never saw him again.
