We did use pyrotechnics to keep the black bears at bay in Petawawa, when they started getting a little too close, but thing about the arctic is; far less room for error, its almost like being on another planet, you don't have much back up at all in the arctic enviroment, so I would go to lethal force much more readily, specific to the operational context. But also, the polar is a lot more peristent than a black bear is, and much sneakier too, the black bear is a scavenger, whereas the polar is a true predator, so I don't pay black bears too much mind, but in polar country, you need to be on high alert.GrumpyCatFace wrote:Oh, for sure. But maybe someone should look into it, similar to electrical shark repellent, etc.
In polar country, you need to go live fire, literally loaded for bear, at all times.
