Anyone ever have to use it? Does it actually work?
Seems to me that would really ****-off a bear.

Our Alaska outfitter (Papa Bear out of Bethel) supplies bear spray. If
you don't use it you don't pay for it. You are not allowed to carry it
on an airplane, even in checked baggage. (You are allowed to carry up to
4oz. of pepper spray in checked baggage, but bear spray products are
larger than that.)

Last year I took a hand gun. This year I'm not going to bother. Check on
whether bears are hunted in the area you're visiting. If they are
they'll probably be afraid of people.
