Have you ever worried about adventuring in Bear Country??🐻 TBH I had 🙋🏻‍♀️, and I thought we were prepared by using a bear canister & keeping scented items away from our ⛺️—but I realize, it’s NOT enough… especially when I hike with ALLLL the snacks! 😱😮[ad]

Honestly I never knew counter_assault existed, and it’s given me such a piece of mind! It’s super easy to carry, non-lethal, shoots up to 40 feet(!!), and protects us AND the bears👏🏼. My fav part—it has a glow in the dark trigger—ideal for sunset (or bathroom 😬) adventures! 
•
Glacier NP and Alaska are at the TOP of our lists, and when we go, I’ll now feel safe adventuring in grizzly country! 🙏🏼
•
Ps—Last weekend I tried counter_assault’s ‘practice’ spray☝️. I highly recommend trying the practice canister first so you feel confident in the backcountry. You can pick up on Amazon or at REI! So cool, right?? 
•
Happy (safe!) adventuring, friends ✌️.
