How To Use Bear Spray
Possessing Bear Spray is only half the equation. Learn how to effectively carry and deploy your bear spray. Inform yourself what to do when confronted by a bear.

How it worksBear Habitat
In one of the largest remaining intact ecosystems on earth, grizzlies can be found all over Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. This is their habitat after all. Understanding their way of living and habitat is the best way to experience the wildlife here.
Carrying bear spray is as much about your safety as it is theirs! A bear attack on humans often results in that bear being captured and put down. Carrying bear spray deters negative bear encounters.
