With my close encounters with bears, I have found if you spray some on the ground most times, the bear will stop and roll in it. Not sure if it would be wise to spray it on ones self. Also have found, with the brands that I use, there is only about 4 to 5 seconds of spray in a can. Best to get an expired can and shot it off in a field to get an idea on would you are dealing with before the issue arises. Remember every encounter with a bear will be different, depending on the situation at hand. Keep your smarts about you!
