Does an expired 21-year-old bear spray canister work????

Does an expired bear spray canister work that expired 21 years ago? Testing Counter Assault Grizzly Tough Defense Spray 21 years after expiration.

Ofcourse! If the cannister is sealed properly and it's a high quality product, the pressure inside wont disappear

I tested one that was only six years old and it went about 5 ft. And yes that was not far enough to spare me, I got some. Your results may vary.

Very true, results very! Carrying new is best the idea. Keep safe out there.

Nice test :-)

Can you carry a gun in a national park? Lol. "According to a study by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, bear spray was effective in deterring 92% of bear attacks on humans, while firearms were effective in deterring 67% of bear attacks. A study by the University of Calgary found that bear spray was effective in deterring 98% of grizzly bear attacks and 92% of black bear attacks. Another study by the University of Alaska found that people who used firearms to defend themselves against bear attacks had a slightly higher chance of injury than those who used bear spray."

Yes you can carry a gun in a national park and I had no idea they knew about every potential bear attack to get those numbers those are only reported attacks

It was like brand new That’s weird since I’ve seen so many videos on and usually all of them over 10 years come out just spitting

[@outdoorroving9648]

Shocked me that’s for sure. It didn’t have the full kick like a new can does.
