Bear Spray: Confidence Through Practice

This workshop can be customized to your target audience, recreational groups, community organizations and employees working in remote locations. It can also be provided in conjunction with Bear Safety Training or Wildlife Awareness Training.

After discussing the various scenarios you may encounter in the wild we will provide you with inert (no pepper) training canisters, to enable you to go through the experience of using the product. It is important that you gain confidence in your ability to use it.
