Review: Frontiersman Max Bear Spray

Autumn's here and the bears are hungry—and you, dear Montana hiker or hunter, bear a strong physiological resemblance to other large mammals that sit squarely on a grizzly's dinner menu. So do yourself a favor and stock up on Sabre's Frontiersman Max Bear & Mountain Lion Spray—one can to carry on your chest or belt, one for your car in case you forget the first one, and a third one for practice. Yep, practice makes perfect, so strap the Frontiersman in various carry positions, and rehearse your reaction should a bear attack. A griz can cover a lot of ground in a very short time, so if you can't get the can out and spraying in a second or two, keep practicing. Luckily, Frontiersman's affordable, at $40 a can (9.2 ounces)—a small price to keep yourself safe out there this fall. Find various sizes, packages, and options at sabre.com.
