bear spray on a plane

Bear spray is not inexpensive so I understand wanting to take it on the plane but you cannot even store it in your checked luggage. It is highly flammable so they do not allow it. Sorry about the 50 you will leave behind. I've been there!

Thanks for the insight…
I was gonna buy it today, which is why I asked….ill have to buy it when I get there I guess.

THANKS!

There are a bunch of places in Juneau that sell bear spray.

Dan,

I tried it awhile back on my first trip to Alaska. Glad I could help. Enjoy your trip!

safe travels

For what it's worth, it's illegal to carry bear spray inside any aircraft in the U.S., (because of it might blind the pilot for one thing!,) but it's often carried outside the cabin in small aircraft in Alaska. For example, it will often be carried in the floats of amphibious planes, or sometimes even taped outside the plane somewhere, like on a strut.

I saw one Alaskan bush plane that had an Army ammo can welded onto one of the struts. Anything dangerous like bear spray, a handgun, etc. was stored in the can.
