Hey sc/out/s, I'm looking to be spending three months out in Idaho and Montana this summer and am currently considering purchasing bear spray. Could you recommend a volume/canister size and brand to me? I'll be carrying a day pack and belt with a few pounds of gear on it, so space on the belt is limited and I'm not worried much about the added weight.

I'm a bit concerned about bears since they're much more common to ID/MT than New Mexico where I grew up. I've dealt with some black bears in the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado but this time I'll be out solo and won't be just car camping near the road.

TL;DR Recommend a brand and size of bear mace to carry for a few months on a 2" wide belt.
