[at-l] Bears and Mace

[jbryankramer@xxxxxxx (J Bryan Kramer)]

Well no matter what Shane says, the most effective spray is that wasp nest
spray, the stuff that throws a solid stream out 20 feet or more. You fire
that off at the offender, whatever it is, and then hold an ignited lighter
or some other open flame under the stream so as to ignite it. If the flame
is sucked back into the can throw it as far as you can. This is only meant
to be done by professionals of course. :->
