The backcountry presents two recurring capsaicin problems: dinner has none, and a bear may require all of it.
Bear Spray Hot Sauce addresses both with two sealed reservoirs inside one 2.1-ounce enclosure. Turn the selector to BEANS for the food-safe dropper. Turn it to BEAR for the deterrent system. The selector requires two hands, deliberate eye contact, and acceptance of the moment.
Our original single-reservoir prototype was lighter. The meeting about it was not.

Bear deterrent is never food. Hot sauce is never bear protection. The shared enclosure is the entire joke and, according to counsel, most of the problem.
