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.

Post by: throttlejocky20 on February 21, 2011, 09:08:57 AM: 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.
