Earth Day Is A Wonderful Day To Enjoy Camping With Ozone Safe Guard Alaska Bear Spray

Earth Day is April 22nd and I for one cannot think of a better way to celebrate the beautiful planet we live upon that to get out and enjoy nature through the timeless tradition of camping. Camping is a great way for family and friends to enjoy the great outdoors, get exercise and breathe in the cool spring air that nature provides us with. Depending on where you go camping you must never forget to bring one particular item and that is Guard Alaska Bear Spray. If you do not have bear spray and ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of coming face to face with a frightened bear, well it might just be the last camping trip you ever take. Without Guard Alaska bear spray it might just be the last trip you take anywhere.

Earth Day is also a day to celebrate not just and preserve flora but fauna as well. We humans have done much to drastically reduce the amount of land that many animals called home. Bears in particular used to roam freely over a vast portion of North America until we humans wiped out a fair percentage of them and forced them into smaller and smaller areas to live. Fortunately there are still areas in North America where bears roam freely and many of those areas are beautiful places to go camping, like Yosemite National Park for one. When we go camping in places like Yosemite, or anywhere there is even the slightest possibility of seeing a bear we have to remember to bring along bear spray to protect ourselves but we must also think about these poor bears. You see bear attacks don’t occur because the bears involved are blood-thirsty beats just waiting to prey upon unsuspecting humans, they happen because the bear is concerned for its own safety and does not understand the human’s intentions. Bear spray, like pepper spray, although immensely effective causes no permanent damage to the man or creature being sprayed. The immensely painful burning sensation and swelling of the eyes is enough to stop any attacker, man or beast, but the effects wear off in a relatively short amount of time.

What is so wonderful about Guard Alaska bear spray is that its ingredients are 100% natural, as is almost any brand of pepper spray, and contains absolutely no harmful, ozone-depleting chemicals. So not only does this bear spray keep you and your loved ones safe but it keeps the bear safe and perhaps most importantly on Earth Day is the fact that it keeps Mother Nature safe.

Stay Safe,

Guard Alaska Bear Spray Is An Animal Repellent You Might Not Be Able To Live Without


Enjoying the great outdoors is something everyone should experience. Camping is a great way to get exercise, fresh air and can be a wonderful bonding experience between friends and family alike. Many of the camping destinations in the United States can be visited without necessitating animal repellents of any kind (unless you consider bug repellent). But anyone venturing off into wilderness inhabited by bears of any kind should absolutely, without exception, carry with them at all times some form of bear spray. There are a few brands of bear repellent spray available but the only one whose effectiveness I can personally testify to is a bear spray by Guard Alaska. Mace brand makes a bear spray as well and I would trust a leader in the self-defense industry like Mace but again I haven’t actually witnessed Mace bear spray repelling a bear. I have however witnessed multiple videos of Guard Alaska repelling a bear and it certainly seems to be the most popular bear spray out there today.
Bear repellent spray works on bears in exactly the same way that pepper spray works on humans. The main ingredients in both products are capsicum. Capsicum is what makes a hot pepper ‘hot’. It is also what stops an attacker, be it a bear or a human, as soon as it is sprayed into the face of either. It causes a severe burning sensation and causes swelling in the eyes that can lead to temporary blindness. All of that may sound very inhumane but when you consider the fact that defensive sprays leave no permanent adverse effects and that the bear is back to its old self later that same day it may not seem so inhumane after all. Plus it is certainly much more humane than ending the bear’s life by defending yourself with a firearm. Some studies have shown bear spray to be even more effective than firearms in some cases. If that isn’t enough of a reason to convince you to carry bear spray on your next camping trip I don’t know what is.
Lastly, Guard Alaska bear spray is completely safe for the environment as it contains no ozone depleting chemicals. That should be great news for any outdoor enthusiasts as the great outdoors can’t be enjoyed if we destroy it by way of harmful chemicals now can it?
So please, as a favor to your loved ones and as a favor to yourself please be sure to carry a bear repellent like Guard Alaska anytime you will be venturing into bear populated areas for any amount of time.
Stay Safe,

Top 5 Reasons To Carry Guard Alaska Bear Spray While Outdoors

One should never even entertain the idea of camping without Guard Alaska bear spray. The reasons for this should be obvious but here are, in my opinion, the top 5…

Reason no. 5 – Bears are stronger than you are. The bears found in North America, even the smaller black bears which only weigh on average of about 300 pounds, are all much stronger than you are and extremely capable of taking your life. Bear attacks are not very common but they do happen and when they do there is rarely anything short of a catastrophic injury or death as a result.

Reason no. 4 – Guard Alaska spray is extremely effective. Guard Alaska is so effective in fact that it is the only repellent registered by the EPA to repel all species of bear. After all, what good is having a tool of self defense against bears if the tool does not work? If you have any doubts about bear spray’s effectiveness in repelling bears I suggest you check out the multiple videos on YouTube of bear spray being tested in real life situations. Some studies have shown this product to be as effective, and in some cases more effective, than most firearms in repelling bears.

Reason no. 3 – Guard Alaska spray is much safer than alternative means of self defense against bear attack. Actually, aside from bear spray what else is there that would be at all effective aside from a firearm? And if I have to explain why taking a loaded firearm with you on a family camping trip might be somewhat unsafe then you have bigger problems than can be solved by reading this blog.

Reason no. 2 – Guard Alaska is environmentally safe. There are absolutely no ozone-depleting ingredients in Guard Alaska spray. That should be great news for any outdoor enthusiasts. What lover of the outdoors would want to be spraying something into the air that is destroying the outdoors?

Reason no. 1 – Last but certainly not least bear spray is a humane alternative to firearms for repelling a bear. Guard Alaska repellent, much like pepper spray for humans, is extremely effective and will cause pain and temporary blindness by way of swollen mucus membranes but will not leave any permanent or long lasting effects for the bear. Bears were technically here first and we’ve pushed them out of the vast majority of their native land already, let’s not kill them while we are at it shall we? Besides, bear attacks do not often happen because the bear is some sort of blood-thirsty monster. These attacks happen because a human has unwillingly, and perhaps unknowingly, crossed paths with a bear and the bear is frightened for itself or for its cubs.

Dear Outdoorsmen, Please Use Guard Alaska Bear Spray Instead Of Firearms. Thanks, Bears of America


Dear Outdoorsmen,
Hello, we are the free-roaming, wild bears of America and we are writing to you in hopes of avoiding a major disaster. The major disaster being one or both of us winding up severely injured or potentially even dead if our paths should accidentally cross.
For many years now there has been a wonderfully effective alternative to shooting us with a firearm should we happen to come face to face. This alternative is Guard Alaska bear spray and we would all much prefer being sprayed with this bear repellent spray than be sprayed with bullets. You see, bullets have a nasty habit of killing us bears and many of us would rather not die as we ourselves have families to help raise. It would certainly behoove you humans to carry such a product If you are out camping or hiking in areas populated by us bears and would otherwise have no protection whatsoever. See, we don’t attack out of anger; we usually attack because you’ve startled us and we are just acting out of instinct, so please don’t take the inevitable mauling personally.
Guard Alaska bear spray works in much the same way as pepper spray does on you humans. It causes us great pain and swelling in our eyes, nose, mouth and throat, causing us to turn tail and run. However, much like with humans and their pepper spray, we will fully recover after about 20 minutes and the spray will leave no permanent effects. Guard Alaska is also the only bear spray registered with the EPA as proven effective on all species of bears, and that’s good news as there are fortunately still a few types of us in this country. Guard Alaska is also environmentally safe and contains no ozone depleting chemicals which is great for both of us as we both need to live on this planet and we’ve already done quite a bit to destroy it, no? We don’t want to come off as rude here but technically we bears were here first and you’ve already chased us and/or completely destroyed about 98% of our original habitat. We are just trying to find a humane, environmentally safe, and non-lethal alternative to you shooting us or us mauling you.
So please do all of us bears a favor and never even think about shooting my friends and I with a firearm when you have this wonderful product at your disposal and that can be every bit as effective as that firearm would be without having to kill any of us. And please do yourself a favor and never head out to any area you know to be populated by my buddies and I without bringing along Guard Alaska bear spray so that we don’t have to get all violent with you.

Thanks,
Bears of America

Camping Without Bear Spray? Just Pour Honey All Over Yourself And Charge A Mamma Bear's Cubs

Are you planning on camping in an area that has even the slightest chance of you seeing a bear? Are you planning on doing this camping without having bear spray of any kind on you at all times? If the answer is yes I have another idea for you, why don’t you just douse yourself in honey or hang a raw steak around your neck (or both) and just go charging at the first bear cub you see. It is obvious from the fact that you are not bringing bear spray on your trip that you are the type that throws caution, as well as common sense and basic safety measures, to the wind.

It should be obvious that I am being extremely facetious and by no means should you ever go near a bear and certainly never so much as entertain the idea of approaching a bear’s cub unless your goal is to be mauled to death. As ridiculous as the opening paragraph of this blog was I find it only slightly more ridiculous than even so much as considering the thought of camping without bear spray present. It just doesn’t make any sense not to bring along bear repellent of some kind if there is any chance of seeing a bear where you are camping and when you consider how cheap bear repellent spray is and how easy it is to secure it makes the notion of camping without it that much more ridiculous.

The best thing about bear spray is the simple fact that it is extremely effective, some studies have even shown it to be as effective, if not more effective, than most firearms in thwarting a bear attack. The second best thing about bear spray is that, unlike a firearm, the creature does not have to die in order to save yourself. Let’s remember that we are in the bears home and in almost any attack we are not dealing with a blood-thirsty, man-eating creature but a confused and potentially frightened bear that is doing what it thinks it must to protect itself or it’s offspring (very much like most humans would).

Bear spray works exactly like pepper spray does on humans, in fact the active ingredients are exactly the same. And just as pepper spray is extremely effective on a human attacker so is bear spray on a bear attacker. Bear repellent spray causes intense, but temporary, pain and swelling in the bear’s mucus membranes which can also cause temporary blindness as it can with humans. This gives you ample time to exit the premises immediately and should also have the bear doing the exact same thing in most cases.

So please, for your sake and for the sake of your loved ones, always take bear spray with when going camping in any area where a bear has even the slightest chance of being seen and for the love of all that is holy have it on you at all times. Bear repellent will do you no good if you don’t have it when a bear is ready to attack.

Camping Is Best Enjoyed While Not Being Attacked By Bears

Camping has always been my favorite way to spend my free time. There are just so many wonderful things about camping that I love, the fresh air, preparing fresh caught salmon, the bonfires at night, sleeping under a starlit sky and my absolute favorite, not being dragged out of my tent and mauled to death by bears. To enjoy fresh air I need only bring myself (although quitting smoking has helped in this endeavor as well). To enjoy the salmon I bring the appropriate cooking utensils, fishing pole and tackle box. To enjoy the bonfires I need to remember to bring along waterproof matches and firewood. And to enjoy all of these things without having my camping trip cut short via bear mauling I always make sure to bring along Guard Alaska bear spray.



Bear attacks are not all that common but they do happen and it doesn’t make any sense to ‘play the odds’ and just hope you aren’t confronted by a bear while camping. If you are going to be travelling into areas where there is even the remotest chance of seeing one then please do you and your loved ones a favor by bringing along a proven bear spray. I know Guard Alaska works and I am sure there are some other brands that do as well but the important part is that you have it with you at all times. Bringing along bear spray and having it in the trunk of your car is not going to do you any good if you are out hiking and accidentally find yourself between a half-ton grizzly and her cubs. The mother bear is not going to wait while you trot back to the car to get your bear spray and if she attacks you have an extremely high chance of never camping (or breathing) again.



In all seriousness though it always astounds and saddens me when I read about a bear attack when I know how easy it can be to avoid one. A bear attack of any magnitude, even the ones that don’t prove fatal, can be immensely tragic for not only the victim and the victim’s family but also many times for the bear as it is often hunted down and killed after an attack on a human. Bears for the most part are not out looking for humans to attack, they attack because they feel that they are in danger or that their cubs are in danger. I always feel a deep regret for the bear when it has to die because of what really boils down to the human’s inability to plan or prepare properly before camping in bear populated areas.



So pretty please with sugar on top do not even consider camping in bear populated areas without bringing along, and carrying at all times, a bear spray like Guard Alaska.

What Should I Bring Camping If I Hate Being Mauled By Bears?

I don’t know how many times I have been asked “What should I bring camping if I hate being mauled to death by half ton grizzly bears?”. Okay, in fairness I have never actually been asked that question and it is pretty ludicrous to assume I ever will but in my opinion it would be no more ludicrous than actually going camping in bear populated areas without bear spray.




Every now and then I will stumble upon a tragic story of some unfortunate soul who was severely and permanently scarred, both physically and mentally, by a black or grizzly bear while camping in bear populated areas without proper protection from said bears. What makes these stories even more tragic is that avoiding such catastrophic events is so very simple. Anyone that wants to camp, hike, or spend any time in bear populated areas needs to purchase and carry at all times a bear spray that is proven effective. I can only attest to the proven effectiveness of two such sprays and those two are Guard Alaska brand and a bear repellent spray from Mace. I have seen videos of both of these sprays in action and after viewing both videos I would personally be confident in either. There may very well be other brands out there that are just as effective but as I have not seen proof of any others I can not in good conscience recommend other brands at this time.



Bear spray works in very much the same way as does pepper sprays meant to thwart the attack of human assailants, in fact the active ingredient in both bear spray and human pepper spray are exactly the same, Oleoresin Capsicum. More or less Oleoresin Capsicum is the thin that gives hot peppers their “hotness”. Of course we are also talking about this ingredient in a much more concentrated form than you will find in even the hottest of peppers. When concentrated Oleoresin Capsicum hits the mucus membranes (eyes, nose, throat, etc…) of just about any of God’s creatures it will not only swell those membranes and cause temporary blindness but also an immense burning sensation that causes such temporary pain that the animal will almost always retreat. This will give you enough time to exit the area safely and hopefully in a hurry.



The last thing I’ll say about bringing along a bear spray when camping is that it absolutely must be on your person at all times. If it is not then having it in the first place is of little use as a bear attack is not usually something that we get advanced notice of and I don’t know many wild bears that will wait patiently while you search your tent. So please secure said bear spray and for the love of all that is holy have that bear spray in an easily accessible location (like a holster) at all times.







Stay Safe,

If You’re Headed to Yellowstone and Don’t Want to Die You Might Want to Buy Bear Spray


I absolutely love camping and as most of my camping is done in the Midwest I am a little saddened, as I always am this time of year, that the camping season is more or less coming to an end for 2011. Although in some ways I find this to be the best time of the year to go camping as long as you are prepared for what could potentially be a very cold night. I have camped in Yellowstone on three separate occasions and the weather there is very comparable to the weather here in Chicago so when I do go to Yellowstone it’s easy for me to prepare for the occasion. Here are some oft overlooked items you do not want to forget to bring along when you are camping in Yellowstone National Park (or anywhere else for that matter).

Lighter – Do I need to explain why a lighter may be useful? You may also want to bring along some waterproof matches just in case it rains or you take an unexpected and accidental dip.

Warm Clothing – This may seem like enough of a no-brainer as fall approaches but even in the middle of July it is best to bring warm clothes as nature has a tendency to not care if you are prepared and can drop the temperature significantly once that sun goes down.

Garbage Bags – An often overlooked and amazingly versatile piece of equipment. It can keep clothes dry, double as a tent if need be or simply used as a poncho should a heavy rain hit while you are camping or hiking.

Map – Much like the lighter, do I need to explain its usefulness?

Flashlight – You would be surprised how many people forget this item and how unbelievably unnerving it can be when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of a cloudy pitch-dark night without a flashlight in hand.



This brings us to our most overlooked item in the history of Yellowstone camping…



Guard Alaska Bear Spray – I don’t have any official statistics or facts to back this statement up but I’d be willing to say that about 90% of the people camping in Yellowstone right now do not have this item and let me tell you that it could very well be the most important item on this list and one that could literally be a life saving device if the need arises.

Chances are very good that you may not even see a bear while camping in Yellowstone and even better that you will never have to defend yourself against a bear attack but tell this to bear attack survivors or families of those that have lost loved ones to bear attack and I assure you it will offer them no solace. Bear spray is one of those items that just absolutely has to be on your person when you are camping in bear populated areas. I always give these bear spray blogs stupid titles in the hopes that it will catch someone’s eye and get the message to them before they themselves go camping. So please do yourself and your loved ones a favor and buy bear spray before you head off to Yellowstone to go camping.

Do You Really Need To Buy Bear Spray Before Going Camping?


Do you really need to buy bear spray before you go camping in an area that has even the slightest chance of seeing a bear? No, technically you don’t need to do anything. You don’t need to bring a tent but you better hope the bugs aren’t too bad and it doesn’t rain on you whilst you sleep. While you are at it I wouldn’t wear a seatbelt while you are driving to your camping destination. I mean legally that is breaking the law but you don’t need to wear a seat belt as the car will drive just fine whether or not you’re wearing one. Also, I wouldn’t let any friends or family know that you’ll be out of town on a camping trip when you go. Just let them freak out and worry themselves sick and possibly even report you as a missing person to the local authorities. I mean it would be nice if you put your loved ones at ease by alerting them to the fact that you’ll be out of town but you don’t need to tell anyone anything.

Do you see the point I am trying to make here? Chances are very good that if you go camping in bear populated areas you would probably survive just fine without bear spray as fatal bear attacks are pretty rare, even in areas with heavy bear populations. Will you wear your seat belt when you drive to your camping destination though? Because fatal car accidents are much more common than bear attacks but still relatively rare when compared to the number of people that drive a car each and every day. Your chances of being injured in a car accident is less than 1% each time you get in a car, but you still wear the belt, right? Why? Because you have common sense, that’s why. The same common sense should apply when deciding which items to bring camping.

I always bring a first aid kit even though I have never used it and I always will bring it just in case. Why on Earth would I risk being mauled to death by a half ton grizzly bear when all I have to do is go online and pick up a bottle of bear spray and make sure I have it on me when I’m camping? It just makes zero sense to me and it always kills me when I hear stories of people being attacked by a bear while they are camping in an area where they knew full well a bear had the possibility of showing up. The last fatal bear attack in Yellowstone happened earlier this year and the unfortunate soul who lost his life did not have bear spray. Of course it is impossible to tell if things would have been different had he had bear spray but I can assure you that the stuff works and if he did have bear spray he would have drastically improved his chances of living to see another day.

So please, for your sake and the sake of the people that care about you buy bear spray if you are going to go camping and make sure that you have it on your person at all times. Also, wear your seat belt.


Stay Safe,

Buy Bear Spray If You Want Animal Repellents You Can’t Live Without

When my family and I go camping we more often than not choose the northern woods of Wisconsin. I love the area because it really is secluded, beautiful and still relatively close to our hometown of Chicago. When we head off to enjoy the great outdoors my wife is always sure to bring the necessary bug repellents as the mosquitoes, fleas, mites, ticks and chiggers can be abundant this time of year and in that area of the country. So my wife is sure to bring all of our essentials (and some things that may otherwise slip my mind) like sunscreen, water-proof matches, toilet paper, flashlights, spare batteries and of course insect repellent. One thing that she doesn't have to remember because I always will is an animal repellent that should never under any circumstances be ignored and that is bear spray. Guard Alaska bear spray to be exact.

I certainly don't want to be bitten by any mosquitoes as there is a chance, regardless of how small, that a multitude of diseases could be contracted from a mosquito bite. Not only that but even if a mosquito bite doesn't leave you with infected with the west mile virus they are just downright annoying. Let's face it though, we have all been bitten countless times by these little winged scoundrels and lived to be stung another day. A bear bite on the other hand carries a much higher chance of proving fatal. Ill take bee stings to both eye balls (that’s a pleasant though isn't it?) over a black bear attack any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Many insect bites can be a real nuisance and should certainly be avoided but a bear attack is very likely an event that you only get to experience once as you could very likely die or at least be injured so badly that another trip to the north woods would be straight out of the question.

Many people have asked me if this stuff actually works and to these people I reply "have you heard of YouTube?” I ask because you can view quite a few videos that more than prove bear spray's effectiveness. Also, with bear spray you needn't worry about having to carry a firearm that can be every bit as dangerous to you and your family as an actual bear. Also, Guard Alaska bear spray (and I assume just about any brand) does not contain any ozone depleting chemicals as the active ingredient in bear spray is the same in most defensive sprays, peppers.

So if you plan on heading into bear country by yourself or with your family please do yourself and your loved ones a great service and buy bear spray.

Must Have Animal Repellents: Guard Alaska Bear Spray


Let’s face it; there are not too many wild animals that we need to be concerned with in North America these days. Most of us live in areas where the wild animals we encounter consist of squirrels, raccoons, birds, chipmunks and maybe the occasional Garter snake. Not only are these animals going to run from you in skittish terror the second you approach them but even if one was to attack I think it is safe to say that an able bodied human could probably survive a squirrel attack relatively unharmed (unless of course the fury little assailant has rabies). There is one animal however that I see sometimes when I go camping up north and it is a truly beautiful yet terrifying creature. It is an animal that I make sure I am prepared for and that animal is a bear. I have seen black bears on a handful of occasions when camping in northern Wisconsin and although I’ve never been in real imminent danger of one charging I am wise enough to understand that it can be just a matter of time before I find myself in a life-threatening situation with one of these beautiful beasts. This understanding is what has led me to always make sure I pack (and more importantly carry) a can of Guard Alaska bear spray whenever I go camping or hiking in bear populated areas. For me personally, it just makes sense to take the extra 2 minutes to pack the bear spray when the risk of not taking it could mean me being mauled to death by a 400 pound black bear.

Guard Alaska bear spray is great because not only is it the most effective bear spray available but is also the safest for the environment. There are absolutely no ozone depleting chemicals in Guard Alaska spray and this should be of great importance to anyone that enjoys camping, hiking or just enjoying nature. If we love nature so much let us not destroy it by using chemicals that are harmful to the very thing we hold so dear. Another nice thing about this particular bear spray is that it is safe for the bear. Bears do not attack because they are blood thirsty man eaters. They usually attack because they feel they are being threatened or that their cubs are being threatened in some way, that is why one of the worst situations to be in is to find yourself between a mother bear and her cubs. They are usually gentle creatures that we must find a way to coexist with and that is exactly why I choose Guard Alaska. It is effective enough to thwart off even the biggest bears but won’t leave that bear with any permanent damage after the initial burning sensation wears off.

So if you are planning on spending time in bear populated areas please do yourself a favor and carry an animal repellent that could very well save your life, Guard Alaska bear spray.

If You Plan On Camping In Yellowstone National Park Please Buy Bear Spray Online

I was quite saddened to hear about the fatal bear attack at Yellowstone National Park this past week. I’m saddened because once again a life has been lost that a little planning and prevention could have very easily spared. A 57 year old man and his wife were out hiking in the park and stumbled upon a mother grizzly and her cubs. One of the main reasons that bear attacks occur is because a mother grizzly feels her cubs are threatened. This bear did not take the man’s life because she was a blood-thirsty man killer. She attacked the man because she thought that her cubs were in some sort of danger. Unfortunately neither this man nor his wife was carrying bear spray on them and as a result they had no means of stopping the bear from charging. The Yellowstone Park rangers even said that bear spray would have very likely stopped the bear attack. If there is any positive note from this story it is that the wife was able to escape a similar fate by playing dead and survived physically unharmed. I say “physically” because she is obviously emotionally destroyed and will never be the same. When I think about the fact that a very inexpensive bottle of bear spray could have prevented this I truly get a sinking feeling in my stomach. Had this man and/or his wife had taken a few minutes to go online and purchase a can of bear spray and kept it in their pack he may very well still be here to take his wife on future hiking trips. Please do not make the same mistake, if you are planning on camping or hiking in any area that has even the slightest chance of seeing a bear, go online and buy bear spray. And for the love of god keep it on your person at all times.




Bear spray works in much the same way that pepper spray works on a human attacker. In fact, bear spray shares the same ingredients as does pepper spray but is often more concentrated and many times will have a bit more range than the average canister of human pepper spray. It is much safer than carrying a handgun and in many studies has actually proven more effective at deterring bear attack than is a firearm.



It’s careless not to take such an easy precaution and if you care at all about yourself and your loved ones you will take such precautions before venturing into bear populated areas.







Please take care,

Tips on How to Survive a Bear Attack: Step 1. Buy Guard Alaska Bear Spray

Very few of us will ever understand the sheer terror of a bear attack and the pain involved with surviving one. We can however greatly increase our chances of surviving such an attack by simply equipping ourselves with an extremely affordable (although what price do you put on your personal safety) canister of Guard Alaska bear spray.

The following are some helpful tips on how to survive a bear attack and using Guard Alaska bear spray in general…

Tip #1 – Buy the bear repellent online or at a sporting goods store that carries Guard Alaska. You can’t use bear repellent if you don’t have bear repellent so take the first step and get some either online or at a store that carries it.

Tip #2 – Do not accept cheap imitations or bargain basement bear spray. There are a few things you can buy generic in the name of saving a few bucks. Paper towels? sure. Breakfast cereal? Why not. Distilled water? Absolutely. These are products that won’t be as quality as their name brand counterparts but who cares? When talking about a product that is designed to save your life, or at the very least keep you from being violently, permanently, mentally and physically scarred I say don’t skimp. Buy the real deal and have the satisfaction and confidence that you have the very best protection against bear attack that is available today.

Tip #3 – Carry the bear spray with you at ALL times. This should be a no-brainer but I was recently camping with some friends up in Northern Wisconsin and when I asked one of these friends where the bear spray that I bought her was she replied “in my backpack, I think”. That’s great, that should help immensely when standing face to face with a 400 pound Black Bear. Just tell the bear that you misplaced the bear repellent and it would be greatly appreciated if it could sit still and postpone ripping your throat out while you locate the spray. A better idea would be to just carry the spray with you at all times, don’t you think?

Tip #4 – Keep your campsite clean. Store food in your vehicle or hung up in a tree at least 10 feet off of the ground. Certainly do not leave food in the tent with you as the smell of food could attract a bear. Waking up next to a hungry wild bear is a bad thing.

So please keep these tips in mind when venturing off into bear populated wilderness areas.

Looking for Gift Ideas for Campers? Guard Alaska Bear Spray for Camping Is Just the Thing


Looking for gift ideas for that special someone on your list? Does that special someone enjoy the great outdoors via hiking or camping? If you answered yes to both of these questions then I think I might just have the perfect gift idea for that person but I will need to ask one last question to be sure. Does that special someone enjoy being dragged out of their tents by their skulls and ripped to shreds by a half-ton grizzly bear? If you answered no to this last question than I am quite certain that I have the perfect gift to give this special someone and that gift is Guard Alaska bear spray.

Guard Alaska is far and away the most effective means of self-defense against a bear attack. Guard Alaska bear spray is the only bear spray so effective that it’s been registered by the EPA as a repellent for any and all types of bears. Considering there are a total of 8 different species of bear in North and South America alone this fact should help give you peace of mind no matter where you decide to set up camp.

Guard Alaska is also environmentally safe and contains no ozone depleting chemicals. This is another reason it makes such a great gift idea for campers considering the fact that most wilderness lovers will not be into destroying the very thing they love. This bear spray is also entirely safe as it does not contain any flammable chemicals (better to enjoy the woods than burn them down).

Guard Alaska bear spray is currently endorsed by the prestigious Alaska Science & Technology Foundation, letting you know that this spray is effective and, very importantly, completely safe for bears. Now I know what you are saying, how can it be effective if it doesn’t harm the bear? What I mean by “safe” is that there will not be any lingering or long lasting side effects associated with this defensive spray. However, when the bear is initially sprayed it will burn like holy hell and this is where it becomes effective. The spray causes such immense temporary pain that the bear will most often turn tail and run (which is also a good time for you to depart the area yourself). This pain eventually subsides however and no permanent damage is done to the bear. I love this fact because we humans share this world with the bear and should be respectful of that fact.

So if you have a birthday, anniversary, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, Easter or any other event where you need to give a gift coming up and don’t know what to get, consider Guard Alaska bear spray for camping or hiking.


Stay Safe,

Camping Without Guard Alaska Bear Spray! A Cautionary Tale by Carl Vouer


Guard Alaska bear spray is an amazing product in the truest sense if the word ‘amazing’. It doesn’t put a show room shine on your car or provide a ‘low-calorie, great-tasting’ alternative to other beverages, it just saves your life. This product can help you avoid being mauled to death. I love it because it holds real value, so much so that I wrote this poem about it. I call this piece…

Camping Without Guard Alaska Bear Spray!
A cautionary tale by Carl Vouer.

Hark; through the trees I hear the bear approach

He is nimble and swift and beyond reproach.

Yea, though I am fleet of foot

This bear will cease me in his moot,

And crunch upon my head so….damn!

I really should have had a better plan!

I knew I would be in the woods this week

But failed to use my brain so meek.

Now I have only myself to blame

As I sit here getting eaten by the campfire flame,

To not secure bear mace was truly insane

But alas, I’ve already spoken of my very weak brain.

Listen here, Bear, although I really can’t blame you

This really friggin hurts and you swallowed my shoe.

Bear Spray is so cheap and easy to use

If I had just gotten some I’d still have my shoes.

But, alas, it’s too late and I don’t have it now,

So do what you will, you’ll never get to see,

That Guard Alaska was truly the one for me.

It’s the only bear deterrent registered with the EPA

To work as a repellent for all species of bear, hip hip hooray!

Wait, why am I celebrating? I don’t have any,

Now my exposed bone wounds will be many.

Now run along and leave me to be!

Go play in the forest or climb up a tree!

You’ll never understand as you mangle my features

That this spray is humane for you beautiful creatures.

Nor will you see how it keeps your habitat safe and sound

With an environmentally safe formula that won’t hurt the air or the ground.

The next time, if there is one that I hike around bears

I’ll use common sense and be more prepared.

I’ll get me a bottle of Guard Alaska bear spray,

So I can feel protected and enjoy my day.

So do what you will, Bear, but please understand

The next time you see me what I’ll have in a can

Is the most effective bear spray that money can buy

And this won’t happen again and I won’t have to die.

Stay Safe,

Carl Vouer

Any Bear Spray for Camping Should Be Safe for the Bear as Well

I hate being mauled to death by bears. Actually, in fairness, I have never actually been mauled to death by bears but I can’t think of a more unpleasant way to spend a weekend than to be attacked by a frightened bear. When you are camping, hiking or just spending some quality time outdoors it is always a good idea to have some form of protecting yourself should you be spending those good times in an area where bears may be present. Let us not only look out for ourselves though as bears deserve our compassion and respect as well.

I think bears are one of the most misunderstood animals in the world and I think much of that has to do with the fact that they are one of the few animals in North America that could potentially pose a real threat to the life of a human being. Because of this fact I think we see some very bogus stories circulate about bear attacks and oftentimes exactly what transpired in an actual bear attack is blurred from what actually occurred. Let us have some compassion and understanding for these beautiful creatures. Here are some facts about bear attacks that you may not know…

• You are 120 times more likely to die of a bee sting than die of a black bear attack.
• You are 45 times more likely to die from a dog attack than a black bear attack
• 1 out of 1,000,000 (that’s 1 million) will ever kill someone. (Humans have a much higher rate of murderers than do bears).
• There are about 750,000 black bears in North America, on average there is less than one black bear killing per year.
• You are 60,000 times more likely to be killed by a human than you are by a black bear.
Grizzly bears are vastly outnumbered by black bears and do cause a bit more of a threat than do black bears as they tend to be more aggressive. The vast majority (and I’m talking about almost all) of black bear encounters end with the black bear leaving the premises or the human killing the bear (if it is during hunting season).

That is why I am such a huge advocate of Guard Alaska bear spray, because it helps protect not only yourself but the bear as well. Bear spray works exactly like pepper spray does for humans. The spray causes an intense burning sensation in the bears eyes, nose, throat and lungs but leaves the creature with no ill side effects after 30 minutes or so. It is also completely safe for the environment as it contains no harmful, ozone-depleting chemicals, safe for you, the bear and the environment? What more could you ask for?



Stay Safe,

Guard Alaska Bear Spray For Camping, Because Bear Attacks Are Not Cool.



Bear spray and camping go together like smores and campfires. One just doesn’t belong without the other and one of the major reasons for that is because being mauled by a quarter ton grizzly is not at all cool. Seriously, I enjoy camping and I’ve seen bears and one thing I know for sure is that it would be most unenjoyable if any of these bears I’ve had the pleasure of viewing in the wild were to bite me in the neck region. I’m fairly certain that would damper an otherwise wonderful weekend. I know what you’re thinking, “but what if the bear just clamped his ultra-powerful jaws of razor-sharp teeth onto your torso or leg perhaps?” The answer is still no. It’s not so much I’m worried about my neck exclusively, I’m just not that hip on putting any part of my body in the mouth of a Northern Wisconsin Black bear.

I’ve discussed this topic with friends and I have yet to find any that disagree with me about the whole bear mauling thing. We are all pretty much in agreement that having humongous razor-sharp claws rip through our faces, exposing the skull underneath would be the polar opposite of a “good time”. That is why we all agree and adhere to 1 basic rule while camping and I’m going to capitalize this so it will hopefully sink in…

IF YOU ARE CAMPING ANYWHERE THERE MAY BE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF A BEAR BEING PRESENT YOU SHOULD HAVE GUARD ALASKA BEAR SPRAY ON YOU AT ALL TIMES.

This is an extremely simple rule to follow and one that could very realistically save your life one day. It just doesn’t make sense not to bring along protection from a creature that you have almost no chance at all of fending off with your bare hands. Also keep in mind that bears won’t follow basic rules of fighting etiquette. Before engaging in hand-to hand combat with a bear you could certainly tell it “hey bear, let’s do this thing but no eye gouging, okay?”, but I doubt very seriously that it will listen. It’s pretty much just going to go for the throat.

As always I kid and say ridiculous things with the hope that you remember these bits of advice that I give you. Please do yourself and your loved ones a huge favor and remember to carry bear spray if you are going to go camping in an area that could find you face-to-face with a bear.
