I want to give a bear spray to my brother for Christmas and maybe you could give me some advices.
First: he is a nogun living in Commiefornia, so forget about it.

Google told me I should get one with more than 8 ounces of product and a spraying distance of more than 25 feet.

What is the difference between a deterrent and a repellent?
What is best to stop a bear that decided that you are a threat?
Are Counter assault, Alaska Guard, frontiersman and pepper spray the only trademarks that make them?
Which can most quickly be used? How many time does it take to get it out of the holster and to remove the safety?
Is there any chance there is live tests on youtube?


Also, feel free to share your experiences in bear encounters.
