i remember the first time i had to buy bear mace. i was scared just to buy it. i didn't even feel how cool it was that i could potential need this. huge racket in alaska. i'm sure on craigslist people are just giving it away. we gave our unused can to our friend who lives in anchorage and she laughed about adding it to the pile. she could have told us we didn't need to buy it as she was unintentionally stockpiling it
