Never. Ever. Spray bear spray around your camp. There’s been plenty of incidents where that’s what drew them in and got people hurt/killed. It’s like cooking around your tent, they have to investigate the smells.
I wouldn’t think you’d want to spray pepper spray anytime you’re not using it for defense. It usually blows around and there’s a good chance you’ll get some on yourself.
It’s mace for bears. Usually much stronger than regular “mace”. Also the canister is designed to spray a longer distance (like 20 to 40 ft). Google some videos to see it in action.
Do you spray the beat directly at the bear? Or is it a kind of repellent that you spray on yourself/your tent?
Great questions.
It is a pepper spray like “mace” that you spray at the bear. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_spray

I would only spray it if I had to.
