If bear spray or mace is not readily available just plain ole WASP SPRAY will work great as well... Be sure it is the LARGE bottle...
This is not good advice. Wasp spray (at least some brands) are not very effective at quickly stopping people, as they are not particularly irritating. They do contain toxic substances, often agents that affect the nervous system, so (unlike pepper sprays) can cause permanent harm. Using wasp spray (any brand) for purposes other than insect control is a violation of federal law.
