Basically, it is a can of pepper spray that is supercharged for campers and hikers. They use it to spray bears and make them go away. Think of pepper spray out of a fire extinguisher..a BIG spray....

This brings up an important point if you're ever camping or hiking in "bear country."

First off, you should always carry pepper spray, just in case. Secondly, you should wear some little bells on your clothing, to make some noise while you walk or hike, ensuring that you don't suprise a bear while out in the woods. But most important, you need to know if there are any bears nearby: The way you do this is by checking for bear droppings. You will know bear droppings when you see them, because they'll have little bells in them, and smell like pepper spray.

Good point Mark!

However, I figure once I empty sixteen 10MM rounds from my Glock 20 into a Bear, they will be too busy dying to worry about eating me.
