Pardon my ignorance but what the hell is “bear spray”?

Bear pepper spray. Basically an industrial site spray can of pepper spray.

Actually... the last time I checked... "bear spray" is defense pepper spray which is weaker than the type used on humans. As I understand it, bears have very, VERY sensitive noses, so the human mixture of pepper spray can actually harm them. So "bear spray" is made weaker, so as not to harm a bear.

Having said that, I've heard that being sprayed with bear spray is mighty unpleasant.
