For the record I support multi gender spaces but I am apparently in the minority of people who thinks bears are scary

    A lone human in an isolated situation where you don’t expect them and can’t seek help is scarier than a lone bear in a situation where you can reasonably expect them and hopefully prepared with that in mind.

    There’s a reason pepper spray is stronger than bear spray.

      Um bear spray is way stronger than pepper spray that’s why they make you sign a waver saying you won’t use it on people (in canada at least)

      Also I carry bear spray more for human threats than bear threats for the record

        No, it isn’t. Pepper spray is illegal in Canada. That’s why they make you sign a waiver when you buy bear spray, to acknowledge that you won’t use it illegally on people.
