    Bear Spray or Pistol? Both?

    Emptying a mag of 9mm into a bear will change behavior more than you think. 1 bullet in the magic spot is always preferred but a lot of bullets elsewhere cause damage that adds up quickly. The more places any living animal is bleeding from the faster the blood pressure drops .

    Bear Spray or Pistol? Both?

    I’ve been a cop for 12yrs. Deadly force/ drawing gun is way more often a reaction to a stimulus than it is pre-emptive. Studies show reaction times between holstered and gun in hand lowered are no different. In general people don’t listen and are not very capable of taking direction from police...

    First Aid Supply procurment

    For hunters id say a combat based tac-med course is VERY justifiable. Learn to control bleeding and how to address a sucking chest wound. Tourniquet, chest seals, quick clot, CPR... know how and when to use those. Anything else is not likely to be immediately life threatening. STOP the bleeding...

    First Aid Supply procurment

    Carry 2 tourniquets, leg/ femoral wounds often require the application of 2 to control bleeding. CAT is the way to go, easiest to self apply. Be sure to stage them for use. If you can get your hands on some dermabond that works better than sutures. tourniquets are to be applied as high as...

    Bear Spray or Pistol? Both?

    Bears are much bigger than people and a charging bear does not move laterally. Police shooting encompass all types of ranges and movements... a running, laterally moving human is a VERY TOUGH, target to hit at just about and range with a pistol.

    Bear Spray or Pistol? Both?
