The Number One question we
get from hikers and travelers; "Does bear spray really work?"
Whether or not bear spray works
is not a question that you want to find out the answer to with a
grizzly bear charging at you at full speed.
There are several lab
studies that suggest bear spray is better than a gun.
Over 20 years of statistics gathered shows
conclusively that a bear sprayed with a direct hit from bear spray
is more likely than a gun to stop attacking. This is perhaps the
major reason that learning how to use bear spray is so important.
The study was done by both American and Canadian researchers and
showed that bear spray stopped aggressive bears - whether they were
attacking or foraging for food - over 92% of the time. Guns only
worked 2/3, meaning a 1/3 chance that you end up as snack.
Below is an example of some fine bear spray that can help protect
you outdoors from bears and bear attacks.
NNryYRZkftWAXCiYou have a good link above me, but just to correct a thhguot here, Mace is the original irritant spray used since the 1930 s in police work. OC Pepper is relatively newer and is FAR more powerful than Mace ever was. Irritants are rated by SHU's (Scoville Heat Units) which measures the burning effect on human skin. A Jalapeno pepper is rated at 7,500 SHU. Mace is rated at 12,000 SHU. OC Pepper ( oil based) is rated at 25,000 SHU. The newest police rated is now Phase IV, which is rated at 2,000,000 SHU ( Two million). Most departments do not use the Phase IV due to the extreme burning it will do to the skin, requiring hospital treatments.I hope this helps and you can find it usefulWritten by Loujiha on Tue 15 May 2012 3:16:29 PM GMT
Not so many years ago, if you heard about pepper spray, it had
to do with the police, the military, riots or civil disobedience. Little by
little pepper spray has become more well-known to the public and more available
to the public. As our society has become more involved in many different
activities we have the need for more special types of sprays.
Many of us enjoy outdoor activities: camping, hiking, hunting and fishing to name
a few.
Along with these activities have come grizzly bear attacks, thus
creating a need for pepper spray for grizzly bears, also known as grizzly bear pepper spray.

Bear Behaviors:
Understanding a bear’s behavior is important for your safety in the field. When you understand a bear’s general behavior pattern, you can reduce bear/human incidences in the field.
Bears are always actively seeking food from the time they den–out to the time they den-in.
Bears are large and powerful animals and should be avoided when you are in the field.
Bears are solitary animals except when they come together to mate or a female with cubs. Stay away from mating bears, the male will be very aggressive.
Female bears, especially grizzlies, will attack to protect their cubs. Never get between a female bear and her cubs. If you see cubs, the mother will be nearby – leave the area quietly from the same direction you were traveling from.
Whenever bears encounter humans they will react and exhibit similar behavioral patterns as they would if they had encountered another bear. (This will become more evident to you when you watch the video “Staying Safe in Bear Country: A behavioral-based Approach to Reducing Risk” by Magic Lantern Communications Ltd. There is more information about the video at the end of this write–up.)
Bears are creatures of opportunity; if you provide them with a food source, they will take it.
Bears are curious creatures, especially young bears. All bear/human encounters should be negative for the bear, never provide a bear with food. Negative encounters will teach a young bear to recognize the human scent and to avoid humans. (This is a good thing for the bear!)
Some bears will be more aggressive than others.
Bears can get stressed. A stressed bear will show signs of stress and you should recognize these signs and back away from the area slowly. Most bears will give you an opportunity to back away.
You have done something that has provoked the bear into show signs of aggression towards you. It is often not clear to the person what they have done to provoke the bear until after the attack.
It is important that you act passively, humble your posture and do not look directly at the bear. Always keep the bear in sight.
Lie down on the ground in the prone position, i.e. play dead, or climb a tree, these are both signs of submission to the bear and shows the bear that you are no longer a threat to them.
Never yell at the bear or throw things at the bear, these are obvious signs of aggression towards the bear.
The bear is hunting or stalking you! You are being treated as potential food. DO NOT PLAY DEAD IF THE BEAR CONSIDERS YOU FOOD!
You must defend yourself with whatever means are available, act aggressively towards the bear. Stand up on something high and try and make yourself look bigger.
Try to appear dominant. Try to frighten the bear. Yell, scream, shout and wave your arms. Jump up and down and fight back. Hold your jacket or backpack over your head to make yourself look bigger.
Use your deterrent; either a banger or pepper spray.
