Hey my friends I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and if you're not from the

mountain west what I'm about to tell you here might come as a little bit of a surprise

but did you know there's a product called Bear Spray? It's amazing really when you live in

grizzly country particularly I don't know if black bears pose quite the same degree of threat but

Grizzly bears I mean this is nature's killing factory. There's nothing you can do

Humans in their raw form have no valid defense. You got no move that you can use against a grizzly.

They're gigantic and they're terrifying and if you've never seen one, you can't really fathom how gigantic and terrifying they are if they're grouchy.

And so bear spray is a way to keep bears at bay.

All you do is you take the can, you shake it up just a little bit, you apply a little bit to

your arms and hands, and then you make sure to get it around the places that bears like to go for like your nose and your eyes and your mouth and your ears and like all around your neck and it does a pretty good job of keeping them away. Do not actually do that. I'm totally

because it really is just mace, like ultra high-powered mace but one of the things that I've noticed over the last 10-ish years or whatever is that they're starting to rent out bear spray because that you usually don't use it and you don't usually run into a

grisly bear that is grouchy and have to blast it with this stuff. It's just

something that you carry around as a precaution. It's nice to have if stuff gets

weird. But even the notion of bear spray is epistemologically telling that means something right?

Because if you have something that fends off grizzly bears it means that we all know

going into this thing that

Grizzly Bears are very, very dangerous and very, very impressive. But it also

means that it's totally worth it. Like yeah, this thing can murder you and you
