Bear spray

Expired 2014/04

Looks like our bear spray has recently expired… Does it mean that the capsicum is less potent? No not really, it just means that the propellant (nitrogen) may be less effective when you really need it.

When researching online, they recommend using the expired can to practice exactly how the spray works or donating it to Parks Canada for training purposes… I love Parks Canada, but somehow I don’t think they will be close by when a bear comes around. I guess we’ll be using it – but not on a crazy windy day.
