Am I crazy for suggesting taking bear spray AS WELL as a gun..?
Hi all,
Recently had an argument with my husband because he’s taking my son on a hike where he’s been scouting moose recently, and I suggested he take bear spray as well as his gun.
For context, we live in Alaska on the Kenai peninsula and both my husband and I are lifelong Alaskans and spend a lot of time outdoors. He’s only been hunting for a few years.
He thinks I’m being ridiculous and keeps telling me bear spray is essentially useless when he has a gun— but that’s not what the statistics show and obviously it is situational. The thing is, I didn’t say “use bear spray instead of a gun” — I understand that having a gun is smart in the backwoods in bear territory.
Am I being over cautious or ridiculous here? Should I let it go? I don’t understand what the resistance is to taking an additional form of defense
