An encounter with a wild bear can be terrifying for hikers or campers. If you plan on going to areas populated by bears, you should bring a bear repellent spray. You can purchase bear repellent sprays at any sporting goods store, but they can be expensive. Fortunately, you can make your own bear repellent using a few ingredients you can purchase at your local supermarket; the main ingredient is pepper. Homemade bear repellent spray offers a simple and affordable method of warding off bears during an encounter.
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:

    * 2 dozen large cayenne peppers
    * Knife
    * Mortar and pestle
    * Saucepan
    * 2 cups clean water
    * Mesh strainer
    * Plastic gloves
    * Spray bottle or water gun

   1.
      1

      Slice two dozen large cayenne or habanero peppers into small pieces, discarding the stems. Grind them using a mortar and pestle.
   2.
      2

      Transfer the ground peppers into a saucepan. Pour in two cups of clean water and boil for 20 minutes.
   3.
      3

      Pour the pepper solution through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or container. Wearing plastic gloves, squeeze out any excess pepper solution with your hands.
   4.

      Transfer the pepper solution into a spray bottle with a jet setting or a water gun. These types of spray containers will shoot out the solution several feet or more, keeping you a safe distance from the bear.

thats hilarious!!
~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.

I don't carry a side arm or any bear repellent. I can honestly say that I have never needed it in WA. Last year I hunted deerwhere there was a fair amount of bear. The only time a predator has not turned and walked or ran away was the cougar I shot. I shot it with a rifle but could have made the shot with by bow.
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!
