Does bear spray work, though? I've seen video of a bear rolling in an area that had been treated with bear spray.
Seemed to be enjoying himself immensely!
I decided then that maybe bear spray wasn't the way to go...
I did stop using vanilla to drive away the blackflies and citronella to keep the mosquitoes away when I'm birdwatching in the hinterlands, though. No sense in smelling like fresh bakery while you're out there...
