<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've carried CounterAssault for years in
Grizzly country. Never run into one yet (knocks on wood). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Just a suggestion: buy two, one complete with a holster
and the other without . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Take one out and practice with it. Face to face with a
bear is not the time to be trying to figure out how it works.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>CHECK THE WIND DIRECTION FIRST</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Learn how to draw it and how to remove AND securely
replace the safety again. </FONT><FONT face=Arial>When you're comfortable with
that, test-fire it several times in the approved manner so you know what the
coverage and range are like. Short bursts are best. Continue testing
until the cylinder is empty, then dispose of it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Carry the 2nd cylinder with you on your
trek.</FONT></DIV>
