The backcountry is rarely a violent place for peaceful people.I run into black bears all the time training in the Shendandoah. Face to face with these startled creatures, my skin always prickles with adrenaline. My eyes always widen with excitement. The encounters restore my awe of nature. And I’ve never needed my pepper spray.
My four ounces of last-defense personal protection just got better with the addition of UV marking dye. That makes it useful for urban applications. Should they ever arise.
And the new tubes are smaller and lighter than the old Mace spray cans. Honestly, I’m more likely to carry it now, whereas before I often left it behind.
