 Coghlan's Bear Bell with Magnetic Silencer By: Coghlan's More Information Not eaten by bear yet!  On: 2009-05-08I do not know if this actually works for its intended purpose but as of yet, I have never seen a bear even when deep in bear country as I often am. Since I have not be mauled yet, Im guessing it works. It does make considerable noise when walking and makes me want to keep away from myself also. After finally getting out of range of all the noisy ATVs and motorcycles, I now have another thing to disturb the peace in the woods, contraticting the reason I go there. And, as a photographer, I would like to eventually see and photograph a few bears from a good distance. So, do I like it or not? I guess it is kind of like DEET mosquito repellant. It keeps me from getting bitten (I think)but I hate wearing it. For now, I think Ill keep wearing it. And the DEET too! Hey, it allows me to save my anti-bear pepper spray for the ATVs! Now thats a plus! Thats worth an extra star all by itself!!! a bear reminder  On: 2008-08-04I recommend a bell for any one or any dog who lives in a black bear area, since I dont know anything about brown bears. Just what the description says  On: 2007-09-01These were useful - especially for entertaining & tracking the kids. Actually, general opinion is that hikers should carry bear spray instead. Reasonable price and fast shipping from this seller |
