In all seriousness, I saw a bear guy spray one from a ways away on tv and those grizz just backed the f-off real quick.  It gave me confidence in it but man, I want a gun for some reason.  At least I can die happy knowing I'm being eaten but it's my fault because I didn't shoot it in time...

I carry bear spray whenever I go someplace I might have an encounter.  I had a "significant emotional event" with a griz and her cub in Yellowstone when I was a teenager.  The bears turned out to be merely curious, and they released me untouched (much like a trout-come to think of it).  But I carry spray now...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
