UDAP

Haven't needed to use and hope we never have to. The product information is on the canister and all of the directions are in really, really small print. I strongly recommend removing the cansiter from the heavy plastic shipping bag as it could not be removed easily in a hurry AND reading how to use the canister BEFORE needing to actually use it. Apparently not a good choice for hot climates as it says to not leave in a hot vehicle. Kind of leaves out all of the south west for most of the year! Hard to rate this product as we've not physically used it yet and as I said- directions for use are lost among so much other information and in very small print- (I'm sure in order to get all the necessary information on the product label) that orientation to the product is imperative prior to initial use.

It weird that I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on a bear container until I hiked a park that required it. Now that I have one, I'm glad I do, and I use it on every multi-day hike where bears might be in the vicinity.

Small enough for pocket or purse.
