AKA bear repellant, AKA pepper spray, it burns without combustion.
There have supposedly been instances where noobs have applied it like
mosquito repellant. I prefer units with a heavy lead content, myself,
say 10mm to 12 ga. In some states you can get bear repellant where
pepper spray is outlawed. Same cans, different lettering.

It's just extra 'hot' pepper spray. The canister usually has a bit more
volume and range as well.

And the Bear Spray tends to shoot farther and with more volume, then
small cans of "pepper spray"

There are a couple advances of pepperspray over bullets
1. Doesnt harm the animal
2.Tends to temporarily blind them so they cant see you to attack.

On the other hand...#2 is really really Iffy.....

Carry a caliber suitable to stop the attack, and use pepper spray as
your first line of defense..but be also prepared to quickly switch to
the caliber you chose if the spray doesnt fend off the attack.

They can be sneaky, though. My uncle was trout fishing on Pine Creek in PA
many years ago, and stepped out of the stream to eat some blackberries off a
bush. He was just getting into it when he heard a "woof," looked around, and
saw a second-year cub eating blackberries on the other side of the bush. The
bear spun around and ran off -- but not before discharging fully digested
blueberries all up and down the uncle. g

one of my girlfriends who often borrowed mine. I've had red and blue
ones, but not the pink translucent or USA versions. The little

Uncle Bill! Another 'tool' I have is a broken 3/8 solid
carbide atrax straight flute die drill that was snapped off
on
breakthrough that resulted in a spiral shaped shank
coming to a point and has an exceptionally sharp edge!
I used it to carve away a bothersome wart on my finger.
Once I got it ringed after several sessions the wart was
just pleading for release and that sharp edge cut it off
pretty as you please. The wart is gone, forever....;))

Growing up in Michgian, on the Ausable River..fly fishing country..had
lots and lots and lots of black bear. Lots of em.

Been more times then I could count Id be fly fishing with bears eating
blueberrys all around me. Caught one with a Royal Coachman once..right
on the tip of her nose, on back cast. She went cross eyed trying to
figure out what had bitten her nose..and I snapped the line forwards and
pulled it out of her snozz. She ****ed and moaned for a couple minutes
then went back to eating berries.

Had a few old timers get ****y a time or two, but most of them were
pretty much used to and moderatly cautious around humans.

Actually..to be fair..unless you are buying the 2 for a dollar
tools..the vast majority of the HF tools are decent enough.

After the burglary to my truck, where persons unknown got $11,000 worth
of tools, SnapOn etc etc from my service truck..I bought HF sockets, box
ends, crescents etc etc. And I still havent broken a single one. And I
make my living repairing machine tools with em.

And if I need to make a Special tool..I dont cringe about cutting,
welding, bending etc etc a HF tool.

And they are cheap enough to replace.

Buttered fatassses, meat sauce and uncooked steaks are way far yonder
behind bacon grease as bear bait.

Justice is a sex offender lashed to a tree in the northwoods,
liberally smeared with bacon grease, perhaps not far from the
sex-offender prison (with color TV) in Moose Lake he dodged by legal
chicanary. The prison is full but the northwoods is capacious.

bear spray when hiking

What's in the bear spray, napalm?

AKA bear repellant, AKA pepper spray, it burns without combustion.
There have supposedly been instances where noobs have applied it like
mosquito repellant. I prefer units with a heavy lead content, myself,
say 10mm to 12 ga. In some states you can get bear repellant where
pepper spray is outlawed. Same cans, different lettering.

Stan


And the Bear Spray tends to shoot farther and with more volume, then
small cans of "pepper spray"

There are a couple advances of pepperspray over bullets
1. Doesnt harm the animal
2.Tends to temporarily blind them so they cant see you to attack.

On the other hand...#2 is really really Iffy.....

Just make sure you're up wind of the critter. Less chance of
'blow back'.

Carry a caliber suitable to stop the attack, and use pepper spray as
your first line of defense..but be also prepared to quickly switch to
the caliber you chose if the spray doesnt fend off the attack.

faced with abear in the wild?' is not 'Butter up the fat kid and push
him in front!'!"

Naw, Wes. I meant run whilst the bear is attracted to the other guy. Too bad if it happens to be
your hunting companion.

How fast do you have to run to out run a bear? Faster than the guy next to you.

Rotary rasp or file tool
Actetylene torch
Lathe with digital monitoring

spare tire for the car
bear spray when hiking

Other items?

I had the opposite happen. I lost my prized, slim 8" pry bar that I use to
pull nails in tight places. I ordered the closest I could find on eBay, and it
opened flat during the first use, it had no heat treatment at all. A few days
later I was in HF and saw a two pack and figured, can't be any worse for 3
bucks. I tried one out on a nearby vise and it seemed OK. They are perfectly
heat treated and tough as all get out.

But that the problem with Chinese goods, it's a crap shoot. Especially with
metal properties.

What are you guys hunting with? I'm starting to think keeping a few 20ga slugs with me
while bird hunting might be a good idea.

Wes


Ayup. And they are rather cheap if you buy em in 5 packs. Works a treat
on bigger game, 2 and four legged, and does a rather decent job on the
passenger compartments of motor vehicles.

Are you going to explain that last part, mon? vbg

The 4-piece set? I still have mine 30 years later but only use it for
alignment and as a jack handle. I think I've used one or another of
them for prying two pieces of wood apart, too. Nothing rough.


Same for some metal stamps. One hit on 1018 and my O stamp is now in BOLD FONT.

Oops! I haven't tried mine yet.

I bought 2 4 piece sets while attending NAMES last year. I've killed four of them in
matching pairs.

My Sears pry and a coupe of Mc Master Carr pry's are going strong still.

Try all the characters, I suspect they HT one character at a time in a large batch with
typical varying results.

I learned to handle WOT on a '84 Citation - drove it 7 miles to get
off the thruway and to a location where I could kick the b*tch loose
without hitting neutral and let it blow the engine.

Are they breaking from being too brittle, or bending due to lack of

Bueno. My HF digging bar is just peachy. The medium pry bar with a
round and a flat chisel end is softer than hell on the round end.

That would tend to suck. I'd have to go to HF and say "Hi, Mr.
Manager. I'm going to need all your sets of alphanumeric stamps, a
hammer, and a place to sit and try them. Here are the bad characters
from the set I bought. I brought my own metal to sample 'em."

Hmm, I wonder if it's just not worth it? g
