How it Works

Bear Spray Shack is similar to your favorite red movie rental box but for bear spray. You can rent AND return our bear spray canisters straight at the rental machine. We geek out on technology, and the programing behind Bear Spray Shack validates that every canister rented will be un-sprayed, at full volume, and safe for re-distribution.

We’ve coded out human error with our rental machines by using machine vision, scales, and our figurative secret ingredient: technology that identifies if the canister has been sprayed before it even gets weighed. This three-step validation process is what makes us different than anyone else on the market.

Our moms think we’re geniuses, but we just think we’re making the safest, most reliable and affordable option on the market.

Walk-up Rentals

For the free spirited and the spontaneous ‘outdoorsy’ people who fly by the seat of their hiking pants, answer when nature calls them unexpectedly, and don’t take life too seriously–unless in this case it’s yours.

Any Location Drop Off

Multiple 24/7 Shack locations means returning your can of bear spray has never been easier. Even if you’re out exploring nature from dusk to dawn, you can conveniently return your rental to any location, any time.

Scan the Can

Every canister has a QR code on the side that will bring you to our On the Go page. Perfect for those who need instructions on how to use bear spray or anyone wanting a quick refresher.

  • And does anyone know what kind of spider this is? Is our bear spray safe?!?!
  • Lotta claims there so let’s break it all down: 1. Saves Money: Our rentals start $10 and max out at $30. Most places you would buy from typically start at $40 and go up to $70. 2. Saves Time: Listen… our machines aren’t Superman saving the Earth fast. But we are sure the heck faster than standing in line at a retail store. And we are conveniently located near the parks. 3. Reduces Waste: 🚨 Spoiler 🚨 if you buy bear spray it is a guarantee it will end up in the landfill LOOOOOONG before its expiration date. We keep cans in circulation so that they get to live a good long happy life with you on the trail. 4. Convenience: Pop Quiz: you bought bear spray, and just learned you can’t take it on the plane…. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?! Well…. From our experience chatting with folks, you get really frustrated at the sheer lack of reasonable options. 5. Safety: Yeah. Our cans spend way more time on the trail than that new can ever will you bought or borrowed. But let me ask you this… did you weigh that can after you bought it? Did you inspect that can you borrowed? Do you even know what you’re looking for? Probably not. Our cans are weighed and inspected after every rental… no exceptions. We also weigh them before they go into inventory to make sure they meet our stringent weight range. Any can that doesn’t meet our exacting standards are removed and recycled. No exceptions. Can you say the same about that can your AirBNB host or that random dude at the airport?? Do you want to bet your life on that? So…. You know…. Just like rent from one of our locations???
