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 Mace 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.

Coming 2025 - Online Reservations

For the practical, precise humans that are uber responsible. The salt-of-the-earth, used to ordering ahead types of ‘outdoorsy’ people.

Don’t Skip the BS

Rentals start as low as $10.

  • What what WHAT?! Are we really announcing a partnership with @grandtetonassociation ?!?! Are we really announcing that we are now going to be located in @grandtetonnps at Jenny Lake?!?! Are we really announcing that we will now be the only ones in the game where you can rent in GTNP and return at Glacier NP without any hassle?!?! Are these obviously rhetorical questions annoying and I shouldn’t be doing this?!?! . The answer to all of that is YES!! . Starting this Spring thanks to the efforts and forward thinking of the Grand Teton Association we will be opening a new kiosk at the Jenny Lake Visitor Center in GTNP to make being safe on the trails that much easier and that much more convenient. To say we’re absolutely stoked about this is beyond an understatement. 2025 is shaping up to be a significant expansion for us here at BSS and we’re up for the task. . Grand Teton Association is an official partner of Grand Teton National Park and other public lands in the Jackson Hole area. Founded way back in 1936, GTA has been working hard to support the parks and forests ever since. They work to support the interpretation, education, and scientific research in the park. GTA also operates the bookstores in visitor centers throughout the park where they commit 100% of profits to their support work. 100%!! That’s like… all of it! So we highly encourage you to visit their stores, buy that cool souvenir or guide, and know that you’re giving back to the lands you love. . As part of our partnership with GTA we are also happy to say that we give a percentage of GROSS sales directly to them as well. That’s right, before we even pay our own bills we are giving to the cause of supporting our partners and these lands! So we’ll see you this spring where we can all do our part to support the NPS! . And last but should probably be first, remember to be bear aware this spring and summer as you’re out there getting your adventure on. Checkout bearsprayshack.com/bear-safety/ for all the deets.
  • Sometimes I wonder…. Are we a bear spray rental company that leverages technology, or are we a technology company that just so happens to rent bear spray…. Well…. Since we only make money off of rentals it’s definitely the first step one. And bringing you the most convenient rental option there is will always be priority number one…. But I think you can understand our confusion….
  • Don’t worry if you don’t see us in our normal spots. We’ll be back next season. . But for now the machines are coming home for the winter to get some much needed TLC and upgrades so we can come back next year stronger than ever on our quest to be the best bear spray rental there is!
  • These are our picks on who will make it to the final. And if it is both of them….. I don’t know what we’re going to do…. . Grazer was obviously a shoe-in. How could you not vote for this girl. And then Chunk… well he’s got our ugly hot vote. He may be shaped like a squished bowling pin laying on its side… but we like that in our bears.
  • Maybe Chunk will be a bit a of divisive figure because of his attack on Grazer’s cub. But bears be bears and they will do bear things. And none of that should take away from the chonkiness Chunk embodies (literally). . We always have to remember that while it’s fun to anthropomorphize animals for the sake of these contests. They are still animals that will do animal things based on animal instincts and behaviors. This doesn’t make them good or bad. It just makes them animals. . Nature has no intentions. Nature just is.
  • It’s Day 3 time! . It was a tough call to turn our backs on our pick of 909 Jr. … but I mean… Grazer… need I say more? . And we finally caved to the peer pressure and chose Gully over Bear Force One.
