I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT BEAR SPRAY, BUT IN AN ENCLOSED AREA THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THE BRUIN WILL JUST EXIT THE WAY HE CAME IN, AND WHEN HE OR SHE STARTS REACTING TO THE SPRAY, AND THRASHING AROUND IN A SMALL TENT AREA, WILL YOU BE IN THE WAY? MANY HUMAN DEATHS BY ANIMALS RESULT, NOT FROM ATTACKS, BUT FROM JUST BEING IN THE WAY. AS WAS STATED EARLIER BY ANOTHER POSTER, "LAUNCHING LEAD" WOULD BE MY CHOICE.

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
