Whether you’re a novice or you’ve been venturing in bear country for years, it’s important to have a plan for how to help keep yourself safe when you’re in their territory. There are fatal attacks annually including multiple that occurred as recently in 2021. A startled, hungry, or maternal bear may be provoked, making it crucial to always carry the proper outdoor safety products with you when on an outdoor adventure.
David Nance, CEO of SABRE Security Equipment Company, the leading personal safety brand with police and consumers worldwide, and founder of SABRE’s Personal Safety Academy, offers four things to know about bear spray so you can explore with confidence.
The high emission system found in the 9.2 oz FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray delivers a massive protective barrier of 1.84 oz of spray per second, up to 40% more than other brands. FRONTIERSMAN’s maximum 35-foot (10.6 m) range provides greater protection allowing for the greatest distance between you and a bear.
FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray, like all other SABRE pepper sprays, guarantees its maximum strength formula. According to an independent study conducted by the University of Utah, variability rates in the concentration of active ingredients in pepper sprays have been shown to be only 70% effective, meaning that all other pepper spray brands can have a 30% failure rate. With an industry exclusive High Performance Liquid Chromatography laboratory, only SABRE guarantees its maximum strength formulation in every canister helping provide certainty and reliability when you need it most.
FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray delivers the maximum strength of capsaicinoids (2%) allowed by the EPA but still ensures its efficacy and safety for the bear. Humane and effective, the effects are temporary and provide the opportunity to get to safety. FRONTIERSMAN has been field tested and proven effective against charging bears by both the Elmendorf Air Force Base (Elmendorf, AK) and Brown Bear Resources (Missoula, MT).
Nance reminds all users that being prepared means knowing how to properly use FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray. “Being prepared to use bear spray is essential. Designed to help give users a high degree of familiarization, muscle memory, and confidence, Frontiersman’s Practice Bear Spray deploys with the exact same firing mechanism and spray pattern as FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray,” says Nance.
To help further ensure safety, FRONTIERSMAN uses a glow-in-the-dark safety tab. The safety tabs help avoid accidental discharge of your spray in transit, when setting up your tent, or sitting down for a rest. The glow-in-the-dark feature makes it easier to locate your bear spray in the darkness if needed.
“SABRE is dedicated to educating users on all of our products as users can find a library of instructions and video tutorials on www.sabrered.com that offer easy-to-understand tips to help Make It Safe
“We want to encourage outdoors enthusiasts to explore confidently in the great wild,” says Nance. “With the proper knowledge, instruction, and products in hand, we hope each adventure in bear country can be a safe one.”
SABRE FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray and accessories are sold in both the US and Canada.
