She sure is annoying sounding. I would agree that the bear probably didnt get the full effect of that spray but its a good example of how close and how accurate you need to be. Now think about trying to spray a charging brown bear in a 30mph head wind. I had my wife practice discharging an expired can before our trip into brown bear country last summer...I was not impressed. Even with the slightest of breeze you really have to wait until the animal would be practically on top of you. I hope never to have to use it for real.
