Bear spray article

Is this perhaps the one you were thinking of? http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/bpl_v8_bear_deterrents_pdf.html

in a google search box –

site:www.backpackinglight.com "bear sprays"

NO space between site: and the domain name.
And if you want, use google's Advanced search for date restrictions.

From what Buck found, it looks like "deterrents" is a key word and you might not have found what you are looking for. But a least you know it is not the search engine that failed.

Greg,

Thanks for the tip on how to search. I tried it and it worked great!
