The question is, do you want to be caught without, if you happen to be the 1 in 100,000 who needs to stop a bear.
No, I understand and you are right. Statistically it makes no sense to pack bear protection. But something about having a close encounter where you know the bear intended to hurt you, kinda makes the statistics seem senseless.
It's like buying fire insurance on ones house. If one is fire conscious, the chances of loosing ones house to a fire is about the same as having an outdoorsman having dangerous bear encounter.
I buy insurance, how about you?
