Fire extinguishers

[Brian B-P]

Bear spray: we have it, and I have no idea where it is. The panic to find the spray might be as effective as the spray itself unless the bear is so close that it's likely too late. Knowing that the spray is around does help my wife sleep better, which makes it worthwhile.

Can I get Chipmonk and Jay spray. I've had much more trouble with them in all many years of backpacking than bears. Never have seen a bear outside of a National Park.

Don't forget the slug spray!

I have never seen a bear in Oregon either, but if I did, I would throw my Fire Extinguisher at it! (Come to think of it, I would throw it at the slug too)

Bears are very common where I am at. Maybe I should get the large economy size extinguisher?

And Byron, Gordon says Hello back at ya!

I'm thinking a can of hair spray plus the stove lighter = a flame thrower. I understand the hair spray is great in a potato gun. In Oregon it could mean instant grilled escargot.
