This spray works by overwhelming an animal's sensory systems, causing temporary disorientation and pain. The 40-foot range means you can deploy it before an animal closes to dangerous distances. The capsaicinoid concentration is formulated to be effective in various weather conditions.
Practical Considerations
Keep this spray accessible—not buried in your pack. Practice drawing and using it before you need it in an emergency. Check expiration dates regularly and replace as needed. This is insurance you hope never to use, but essential when hiking or camping in predator country.
