Spray really seals the deal for me on your comments...
I am certainly no bear expert but was “bear spray” a politically correct answer to bear danger when first promoted ? And remains so?
I know when I’m in bear country I’m armed with more than a condiment spray and were I in AK’s brown bear country, especially solo, I probably would carry a short-barreled 12 Ga pump loaded with Brennekes, the weight and inconvenience be damned.
Risk-taking fades as I get older.
Edit to add: so sorry for this man to pass in this way and sincerest condolences for his friends and family.
