Regardless of what is your choice of Bear Repellent, if it is not quickly and easily accessible for use with little warning, it likely won't help you.

The very best bear spray is cans of spray paint. You smear the cans with bacon grease and toss them about 100 yds from your camp site.

Bears just doing what bears do. When you’re in their house, these things happen.

They should both sit down and discuss this over a few beers about trespassing into domains.
Actually, the bear was there first.
The hiker was the intruder.
