Bear Season Has Sprung!

The bears are back for the season!

Being aware and prepared with Yukon Magnum Bear Spray and Bear D’Fense® Professional Bear Deterrent are your first line of defense. Whether you are getting ready to go camping with the family for the first time this season, or if you are heading out to work in bear country, your safety in the wilderness is your first priority.

Picture this:  How many times have you been driving the highways of beautiful British Columbia, when up the road, cars are moving at a snails pace?

You’ve spotted a black bear wandering along the edge of the highway. The minivans and campers lined up on the shoulder, tourists excitedly snapping pictures and getting out of

their vehicles to get a picture with the bear.

We have all seen it and maybe have even done it. Let’s put this in perspective.

If you didn’t have your vehicle, would you be so fearless?

Now lets say you are riding a bicycle down that same highway, enjoying the scenery, when you come across a bear.

What is your first reaction? Do you:

A)  Stop and pull out a camera like a tourist and approach the bear ”because it looks so furry and cute?”

B)  Panic! Drawing attention to yourself, you suddenly start riding really fast and tell yourself  “just don’t make eye contact.”

C)  Make sure your Bear Spray is easily accessible within your reach, and continue riding while recognizing the bear is nearby.

Simply put, C  is my answer.

Doesn’t it make sense to carry your Yukon Magnum Bear Spray as your backup, and leave the bear alone?

Sure, you won’t likely be riding your bicycle down the highway, but the point is, you might be hiking in the woods -in a bears natural habitat, entering their territory. Why not be prepared with Bear Spray. Yukon Magnum Bear Spray  is a strong formulation recommended for campers and fisherman.

So now we have you thinking, ” Yes, I will purchase Yukon Magnum Bear Spray,  but why bring up black bears?- the least threatening in the Bear family? I just need to watch out for grizzlies.”

Black bear, grizzly bear, panda bear…. bears do not discriminate. If they are threatened, hungry, or protecting there young, you may be a threat to them and you need to be aware and prepared when paying a visit to bear country. Statistics have shown, black bears can and do attack humans too.

Bear spray is made with Oleoresin Capsicum(hot pepper) as the active ingredient.   It burns (oh it does burn) the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, throat) of a bear when sprayed towards its face. Even inhaling it from a near distance is painful.Keep in mind, although this is the case, our Bear Sprays are non-toxic and do not have any long term effects.

More injuries and fatal attacks from bears have occurred when  people carrying firearms were confronted by a bear. Bear spray has been proven more effective in deterring aggressive bears than any other method. Seriously. Google it for yourself.
