I have a can of "Counter Assault". I purchased it about 10 years ago. I carried it once. It has never been used. It is big and heavy and IMO not needed. Once activated, you have a whopping 7 seconds to hit your target. Pray for wind-free conditions. I finally came to the conclusion that I'd have better odds spraying MYSELF with it, as a deterrent to an attacker, as it'd be easier to hit THAT target and it would make me "unappealing" as a snack. <br><br>My advice: Forget it.<br><br>Wheeew<br><br><b><i>David Stewart <davidalexanderstewart@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> it sounds to me like the Bearikade rental program is good for a thru<br>hike: the URsack can be carried and the other one can be squeezed<br>until the lid pops off (?)<br><br>bearikade seems/looks good.<br><br>is bear mace a totally stupid and
