Frequently Asked Questions
How does bear spray actually work against an attacking bear?
Bear spray works by releasing a cloud of capsaicin-based aerosol that causes immediate, intense irritation to a bear's eyes, nose, and respiratory system upon contact. The MSI Guard Alaska Bear Spray's power fogger pattern disperses this formula in a wide cone-shaped cloud, creating a barrier that causes the bear to stop, retreat, and flee without causing permanent harm. Studies by bear researchers have shown that bear spray is highly effective when used correctly — deploy it in short 1–2 second bursts beginning at around 30–60 feet, allowing the cloud to form a deterrent barrier between you and the approaching bear.
Is this bear spray safe to use around people and pets?
The formula is non-lethal and designed specifically as a deterrent, but exposure to the capsaicin aerosol will cause significant discomfort to people and pets as well as bears. Always deploy the spray downwind, away from companions and animals. In the event of accidental exposure, flush affected areas thoroughly with large amounts of water and move to fresh air immediately. Store the canister away from children, direct sunlight, and high heat, and never discharge it in enclosed spaces.
Can I carry this bear spray on a plane or in a vehicle?
Bear spray is classified as a hazardous material and is prohibited in aircraft carry-on and checked baggage by the FAA and TSA. It should not be stored in a hot vehicle, glove box, or sealed car for extended periods, as heat buildup can compromise the canister's integrity. When transporting overland, keep it in a cool, ventilated area and secured in a holster or pack where it is quickly accessible but protected from accidental activation. Always check current airline, park, and destination regulations before travel.
