Picked up two cans of bear spray when we pulled in to Yellowstone thinking that we weren't likely to be separated when hiking or site seeing, but did make a conscious effort to make sure nobody left the hard sided RV without a can or someone else along with a can. Apparently, our camp side at Fishing Bridge was pretty well known for grizzlys. Soft sided RVs and tent camping was prohibited there for that exact reason. Now we still have two cans of bear spray in the shed with the backpacking and camping gear ready to go. No doubt there is a shelf life before the cans become less functional and clog easier but hey, at $45 per can I put them in the checked luggage and will take them along any longer backpacking, non car camping we do in the next year or two..
By the way, we did actually see a couple of them through binoculars, sleeping on a hillside about a quarter mile away ..This was a 5X optical zoom photo.
