Hi there -

I am going on my first solo cross-country tent-camping trip, and the majority of my month will be in bear country.

Several folks have convinced me in my original post that bringing a gun is unnecessary, so I am thinking about other means of providing protection and self-comfort.

I came across these electric fences while perusing the net.

Has anyone ever used these?
Are they effective?
Is it worth the money and hassle for that extra protection while I am alone at primitive/back country sites?

Thanks!
