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.

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.

Rentals start as low as $10.

When it comes to preserving your safety, peace of mind, and outdoor wildlife playgrounds at large, we believe that arming yourself with bear spray shouldn’t be a complicated or costly process.

  • If you’re keeping score, this now means you can rent on the west side of the park and return on the east after hitting the Going to the Sun Road, or vice versa. Or better yet, hit up @glacierwildernessco, rent a bike or two, and get a shuttle to your dream destination and see the park in a new way!
  • This machine has been a nightmare of a setup. Between raining for an hour every 10 minutes, and a wiring issue giving us all sorts of headache…. We got it. . What isn’t a nightmare is our partner @firebrandwhitefish. Between staff and guests we regularly have to add an hour+ to our planned service time just to chat with everyone who thinks the machine is an amazing idea. We’re biased but we think it is too…
  • Finally! Were open @wonderstoneusa in Columbia Falls, MT! But you’re here about those new stickers, right? Well, we are beyond excited to announce we have decided to partner with @vital_ground and help get the word out about the amazing work they do to conserve and enhance lands that Grizzly bears and other animals call home. There is so much more to say about this so it’s best if you just go check em out. But what is this about scanning a can or something? Well, that’s our reminder to all of our customers that bear spray usage and bear safety information is on your hip at all times and is only a scan away. We have a lightweight website for you to get all the important information you need to stay safe in bear country. So scan that can!!
