Product Description
Counter Assault was developed in conjunction with a research study at the University of Montana. During the original testing, recommendations were established based on their experiences with black and grizzly bears.
Testing was performed on extremely agitated bears that were removed from our parks and forests for being too aggressive. Counter Assault has continued to monitor the suggestions and recommendations from bear experts who work for our state and federal agencies and have reaffirmed these recommendations over the past 20+ years.
The main ingredient in COUNTER ASSAULT BEAR DETERRENT is an extract of RED PEPPER oil which affects the upper respiratory system, triggering involuntary eye closure and intense burning.

Hasn't voted | We carried this stuff in Alaska for years, but I was always annoyed at how big it was. Now they make a more compact can that should still do the job, and I'm quite happy with it. | | Posted Aug 6, 2008 6:50 pm |
