    No, no. If you and I went camping or hunting, the only thing I would need for protection is a pocket knife. If we encounter a bear all I would do is pull my pocket knife out and...







    stab you in the leg.

    After all, I don't have to be faster than the bear, I only have to be faster than you. :biggrin_25525:

    They like a spicy meal every now and then. :biggrin_25523:

    Nah, what I was suggesting (perhaps too subtly) is that it is not against the law, nor is any permit required, to carry bear spray in Canada, although mace and pepper spray (which are very similar) are illegal. So, if a person is concerned about personal protection, they may want to pick up some bear spray. You won't get hassled about it at the border either. It MUST be spray that is packaged and marketed for the sole purpose of driving off aggressive animals though. The stuff is commonly sold in camping and outdoors supply stores. Some is marketed for protection against aggressive dogs, but I am not sure of the composition of all varieties.
