UDAP Pepper Power Magnum Bear Spray Self Defense Deterrent with Holster for Camping, Hiking, Fishing, Powerful Blast Pattern, 30 ft Fog Barrier, 12HP, 7.9 oz

Haven't needed to use it and hopefully I want need to but its nice to have on hikes.

Glad I found this brand. Bought these when my old ones reached their "use by" date. These are better quality and they include lots of literature and clear instructions. I've carried bear spray for many years and never before understood that you can and should test each unit!! Thank you UDAP!!

Carry 2 cans. TWO. We have deployed about 25 cans of "BEAR SPRAY" in the the wild. This brand is what we carry daily. For the novice, this is a last resort. EACH brand is not the same and EACH can COULD PROVE different. This can tends to give a defined marking stream straight ahead and much of the sauce will be delivered at a face sized target straight ahead. That marking stream is stunning and then paralyzing. After being stunned, any mammal will recover and flee. A nuisance BEAR or other mammal will become familiar with this spray and will adjust habits after a single encounter. ANY BEAR or BIG CAT is going to trigger into fight or flight after they have had this deployed once. Foraging animals in area start to work around it. FOREST VS OPEN RANGE... WIND on the open range makes even the best can difficult. In the forest with no wind is very different. Under Tree Canopy this can be used as a FOGGER by spraying a quick burst while moving the can across the target area and retreating. Much will drop to ground like rain. If you are standing in this pepper rain it will cloud vision. The FOG will fill an area and make that area clear of all animals. So foraging bear will smell it and leave. That may not trigger Flight, more wandering off stunned. Once they associate you with that pepper any predator will flee upon sight. A predator that does not flee upon sight should be reported to Rangers. Most states keep a log of familiar predators that could end up on cull list. Once deployed an area can become difficult to remain in. Where to carry?... anywhere N or West of Iowa such as N Minnesota to clear a camp of a bear. Generally Bears flee until you get into the more aggressive bears out west. Big cats from Dakota Parks west. Anywhere there are canyons prepare for Big Cats. This WILL stop a curious Big Cat. A big stick can work also. Once they get hit w spray, they won't mess with humans again which will help protect them from you.

Luckily, I haven’t had to use it, but as they say better to have it and not need.

I'm stoked to have some highly rated bear spray! I hope to not have to use it though- if I survive a bear encounter because of it, I'll likely revise the review! If I don't survive the attack, I...uhh...hmmm...well... BIKE PACKERS BEWARE!! The included holster is NOT compatible with the water bottle mounts on your bike! While the manufacturer doesn't say the holster can be mounted to a bike, the pictures are tantalizing! Unfortunately, the holes are too close together, which in itself is not a problem- I'm always happy to carefully modify stuff to suit my needs. The larger problem is that there are no recesses in the holster to accommodate any mounting bolt heads, i.e. if you used bolts to mount the holster to your bike, the bear spray would not be able to fit into the holster. This would be true of _any_ application that involved screws or bolts or zipties or paracord or anything else going into the holes, so I'm not sure what the intended use was for the holes in the first place. Don't let the pictures fool you. Of course, this was a bummer, but I easily came up with a workaround so that I could use the holster and have the spray close at hand; you don't want to be fumbling around in your bags looking for it while the bear is charging you!

Very powerful. Easily sprays 20'-25'. Be careful!

I bought this two pack for a family trip to Glacier National in August 2023. The item comes with holsters so you can keep it handy on the belt. Thankfully, we did not meet any bears in our hiking travels, but while hiking some of the more remote trails, it was a bit unnerving, particularly when we would see fresh bear scat on the trails. All the NPS warning signs said that having bear spray is a must. A Ranger I talked to said spray is more effective than guns, because sometimes a gun will just enrage a grizzly. The item instructions say to give it a brief spray to make sure it was not a dud, and both in our set worked fine. A++++ item and seller.

I haven’t had any bear encounters but have sprayed the product wearing goggles and still felt a slight burning sensation around my eyes which tells me this spray is very potent and should be very effective if needed.

今年の春、東北の試験登山で初めて持っていきました。熊除けスプレーは「持ってるけど使ってない」人が多い中、UDAPは「実際に使ったから安心」という先輩登山者の勧めで選びました。 ホルスターがマジックテープでショルダーバッグに付けられて、取り出しが本当にスムーズ。腰元から下へ抜き取るだけで、瞬時に発射できました。「強風の中でもしっかり噴射できた」という口コミがウソじゃなかった。 未使用なら5〜6年使えるので、年に数回の登山でも十分かなと。メジャーな商品の中で一番安かったのに、アメリカ森林警備隊採用の信頼性もあり、コストパフォーマンスが抜群で、登山やキャンプに行くなら、持参必須の「最終兵器」です。

使わずに済むことを祈ります。 試し打ちもできないでいます。 飛行機には載せられないので 宅急便で送るしかありません。 東北への出張に重宝しています。

他の製品よりも容量が多くしっかりした感じの作りなので、これを持って外に出るとめっちゃ安心感があります！ ただホルスターが硬くて取り出し辛いですね。ここまで硬いといざという時にうまく出さずに出した時には熊に腹喰われちゃいそう。 あと需要がすごいのか届くのに結構時間が掛かりましたが、満足です。 これを噴射しなければならない様な状況にならない事を祈りながら、携帯していきたいと思います。

すごい圧力ででます。しっかりともって構えないとあさっての方へ噴射してしまいます。 圧力でピストルのように反動で上へあがるので、気持ち下げて狙うのだと思います。

アウトドアや釣りで山に入る機会があるため、安全対策として購入しました。ホルスター付きなので携帯しやすく、すぐに取り出せるのが安心感につながります。 実際に手に取ると、サイズ感もちょうど良く、ベルトに装着しても邪魔になりにくい印象です。しっかり固定できるため、移動中に落ちる心配も少ないです。 作り自体もしっかりしていて、いざという時に確実に使えそうな安心感があります。アメリカ森林警備隊採用品という点も信頼性の高さを感じるポイントです。 使用する機会がないのが一番ですが、「持っているだけで安心できる」という意味で価値があるアイテムだと思います。特に山釣りやキャンプなど、野生動物のリスクがある環境では備えておくと心強いです。 注意点としては、安全のため取り扱い方法を事前にしっかり確認しておくことが重要です。 アウトドアでの安全対策を考えている人には、備えておいて損はないアイテムだと思います。
