Pepper Gel vs. Pepper Foam
Sabre Red Pepper Gel
Wasp Spray or Pepper Spray?
Medical attention may be required if wasp spray is used.
Bear Spray
An alternative to wasp spray is bear spray, available at WalMart for around $30. Some brands have a range of 30 feet, have a spray duration of 9 seconds and are useful for multiple bear attacks.
Escalation of force
If a vision impaired and disoriented attacker persists after being hit with wasp or bear spray, more persuasion can be administered with a baseball bat. Keep a bat nearby and aim for the knees to allow your escape. If a bat is too big of a tool to carry, a ball peen hammer is a smaller option.
