Re: Bears and Bear Bangers
If anyone happens to go to Wholesale Sports, check to see if they are selling yellow boxes of bangers and the brand name.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Good stuff. Those are better than bangers if you're hiking in the bush. It's too thick & you tend to be too close to the bear to use a banger. I prefer spray but honestly I've never had to use anything at all yet, they always bugger right off when I say (loudly) "Hi there, bear!" and clap my hands. I run into the buggers a dozen or so times a year on the trails around here.
Your bias suits you.
