Is Mace Pepper Gel Better Than Pepper Spray? Mace 10% Pepper Gel is different than conventional pepper sprays or pepper foggers. Mace Pepper Gel is a patent-pending formulation of pepper spray that is suspended in a sticky gel rather than a liquid stream. This provides a few advantages for your self-protection: pepper gel sprays up to 10 feet further than conventional sprays (up to 18 feet) and sticks to your attacker’s face like glue, causing temporary blindness. Because of its sticky nature, pepper gel won’t blow back into your face, which makes it ideal for outdoor or indoor use–add it to your plan for home and family protection by keeping a canister next to your bed.
Mace Pepper Gel is more concentrated and is therefore hotter than many other pepper sprays on the market, but is non-toxic and causes only temporary impairment. As an added benefit, it contains a UV dye to invisibly mark an assailant for identification by police.
Mace Brand 10% Pepper Gel Large Model contains 45 grams and sprays 7 short bursts with an effective range up to 18 feet. The canister has a flip-top safety cap that prevents accidental discharge. Click HERE to purchase the Large Model 45 gram canister of pepper gel.

How can you protect your children from internet predators? How can you be sure that your kids are staying away from websites where they may come into contact with predators and pedophiles who could seduce them into meeting face-to-face so that they can have sex with your children? Would you know if your son or daughter was in contact with an online sexual predator? Consider the following scenario:
You walk into your 13-year-old’s bedroom and she quickly closes the lid of her laptop computer. Lately, she has been spending hours on-line at night and on the weekends. You’ve also noticed she has become more withdrawn from your family and no longer wants to spend time with her older siblings. And then yesterday, she received a package in the mail from an address you didn’t recognize. When you asked your daughter what it was, you got a strong feeling that she lied about it. What’s going on? Is this normal pre-teen or teenage behavior?
Learn more about this vital issue and the steps you can take to protect your children from internet predators. Read my article on Yahoo’s Associated Content by clicking HERE. It may very well save your son or daughter from becoming a victim of sexual assault. It could even save your child’s life.
I love dogs! They are my passion and, to be unabashedly honest, they are the center of my life. I have five canines that were rescued from one bad situation or another: one I rescued as a wee pup from certain death along Interstate 70; another was wandering around a busy rural highway, malnourished and in-heat; a third was a just-weaned puppy who wandered into where I was working; my German Shepherd-mix was sadly neglected by her owners and was slowly starving to death; and the 5th was a stray who I volunteered to foster for a few days . . . almost 4 years ago. I never set out to acquire a pack of dogs. It just happened that way, and since I live in a rural area with a large fenced yard, I am able to provide a loving, stable home. Their health, safety and happiness is a priority.
Living in the country, I am always aware of the plight of the stray and the neglected. Dogs are often dumped in rural areas, the ignorant who leave them behind perhaps believing that dogs are able to fend for themselves in the wild, like their wild cousins, the fox, coyote, and wolf. Sadly, dogs are too domesticated to survive for very long on their own. Too many people neglect to spay and neuter their pets and we are left with millions of unwanted pets crowding our local shelters or facing starvation, exposure, predation, or death by auto as strays.
One small and FREE thing we can all do to protect dogs and cats is make a daily visit to The Animal Rescue Site.com. On the home page, just by clicking on the big purple button, you can donate food to animal shelters, again, it’s FREE. But there is a lot more to this website. In addition to just clicking, you can buy any number of products and each purchase includes a donation of food to animal shelters. The merchandise is quality stuff and is very fairly priced. And, no, they don’t gouge you with shipping and handling charges. The most I’ve ever paid is $2.99 (for any size order) and they often have free shipping offers or $1.00 shipping offers. And you don’t have to be an animal lover to shop on The Animal Rescue Site. Many of their gifts are not dog- or cat-themed. There are too many categories to list here, so go check it out! Buy a birthday present for your girlfriend, do some early Christmas shopping, buy Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts . . . make your shopping count for something.
Something else you can do to protect your dog or cat (or your friends’ and family members’ pets) is to make sure they can be seen at night when they are outside with a Pet Blinkie. Pet Blinkies are vibrant, multi-color pet safety lights that attach easily to a collar, leash or harness. They are waterproof and visible up to 1/2 mile away and are available in 6 blinking, vibrant colors. If you love your pet, get them a Pet Blinkie!
Pet Blinkies Come in Five Vibrant Colors

Knowing I have a website that sells self-defense and personal security products, people often ask me what they should get for their own personal safety. For almost everyone, I suggest that one thing they buy and keep handy at all times is pepper spray. Even better, we should all keep pepper spray available for use in our automobiles, in our homes and on our persons. Toward this end, the Pepper Shot Tri-Pack is a great choice. It contains three canisters of pepper spray: one in an automobile visor clip for your car, van or truck; a second with a quick-release keychain to carry with you everywhere you go; and a third, larger wall-mount canister for your home and family protection. The following story illustrates the importance of being prepared for when you least expect trouble.
Kim had just accepted a big promotion, which meant a bigger paycheck, but a longer commute. Fortunately, she lived in the outskirts of the city and commuted into the suburbs for work, so she didn’t get stuck in the crazy traffic that some of her friends had to endure every day. One morning, she had to get up extra early to get ready for an important presentation. Rolling down a country road at over seventy miles per hour, she noticed red flashing lights in her rear-view mirror.
“Ugh!” she grunted. “Two weeks into this job and I’m already getting a speeding ticket.”
Still too early for many of the gas stations to be open, she pulled over into a lighted space on the side of the road. Under the lights, she noticed the police car was unmarked. A man got out of the vehicle and walked toward her car. She rolled down the window a little bit as he approached, but only enough to reach her hand through to hand him her driver’s license.
“Good morning, ma’am,” he said. “Do you know how fast you were driving through that forty-five mile an hour zone?” Kim squinted her eyes and said, “I’m sorry, officer, but I don’t honestly know. How fast was I going?”
“Let’s not worry about that just yet,” he said. “I’ll need you to step out of the car, please, ma’am.”
Kim thought it was strange that he hadn’t asked for her license or proof of insurance. And when she took a longer look at him, she noticed he wasn’t wearing a uniform.
“Officer, could I see your identification, please?” she asked. “Ma’am, I am ordering you to get out of this car RIGHT NOW,” he demanded.
Kim now noticed that he looked way too unkempt to be a real police officer. At the same moment, the man tried to reach in through Kim’s car window. She reached up and pulled down her emergency canister of pepper spray attached to the automobile’s visor with a simple clip. Aiming right through the crack in the window, Kim shot her attacker right in the eyes. He screamed and tried to rub the stinging defense spray from his face. As he stumbled into the road, she started up her car and sped up the highway. She found an open convenience store a few miles up the road, where she called the police.
Real police officers found her attacker stumbling through the woods not far from where Kim left him. It turned out he had been preying on women in the early morning hours for months, but hadn’t been caught. Kim not only saved herself, she helped get a dangerous man off the streets and in jail.
You can get pepper spray in the same convenient automobile visor clip that Kim used as part of our PEPPER SHOT TRI-PACK. The Tri-Pack also includes a large wall-mounted canister for home protection and a personal-safety canister on a quick-release keychain.
To purchase your own Pepper Shot Tri-Pack, please CLICK HERE. Concerned about having to pay high shipping charges? No worries! Safe & Sound Security Products now offers lower-cost shipping options. Most customers can get the Tri-Pack shipped to their home via USPS for as low as $3.24!
A close friend of mine practically gasped when I told her I had a revolver and a shotgun in my home. Her response was, “I’m not comfortable around guns. But I’d fight tooth and nail to defend myself and my son if anyone ever broke into the house.”
I wasn’t surprised at her reaction. I told her that I’m not truly comfortable around guns either … I’ve seen first hand the damage they can do to the human body. But I’ve been trained in their proper use and I believe that, under the right circumstances, I could and would use a gun to defend myself and my family. And I believe I could live with it if I ever had to take another life.
But for anyone who isn’t comfortable around guns, there are options … non-lethal, but very effective options … for self-defense. One of my most favorite is the stun gun. Specifically, small but VERY powerful stun guns that will knock any attacker on his ass. The Runt 4.5 Million Volt Rechargeable Stun Gun is a great choice for anyone, but especially women. It’s palm-sized, easy to grip, and easy to use. And the rechargeable version means you never have to worry about dead batteries.
Be Prepared to Meet Bears on Your Next Camping or Hiking Trip
During one of his guest appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman, well-known animal expert and zookeeper Jack Hanna demonstrated how to use bear spray. This was a follow-up to his use of bear repellent in July 2010 while he and his wife were hiking along the trails of Montana’s Glacier National Park. According to the report posted by Xorje Olivares on abcnews.go.com (Zookeeper Jack Hanna Uses Pepper Spray to Save Hikers From Bear), as Jack and his wife, Suzi, and two other groups of hikers, approached a corner on the trail in a section of the park called Grinnell Glacier, they encountered a mother grizzly and her offspring just 30 feet away.
According to Hanna, there were two yearlings, not cubs, with their mother, which weigh between 100 and 150 pounds. “You cannot run from these animals. They run a football field in six seconds” (www.abcnews.go.com). Although the mother grizzly and one of the yearling bears simply passed by the hikers, the third bear was not so indifferent. As Jack Hanna described the encounter to Letterman and his audience, this bear exhibited signs of aggression and Hanna was forced to spray the bear right in the face with his bear spray. The wind blew the spray away after the first blast, and the bear kept coming, so Hanna, only about 10 feet from the bear at this point, unloaded the whole can in the bear’s face. This gave Jack, his wife, and the other hikers the opportunity to get safely away from the bears.
Ironically, only two weeks before this encounter, Hanna had recorded a public service announcement for the National Park Service about how to safely deal with bears. Jack Hanna’s first recommendation is for hikers, campers, and park visitors to carry bear pepper spray. Bear spray is specially formulated pepper spray, made to repel these large mammals. It comes in a larger can (more spray!) and is designed to be used from longer distances than the typical pepper spray formulated for use against humans. In other words, the protection benefits of bear spray differ from the benefits of other animal and human repellent sprays.
Hanna also advised people to use bear spray only when bears are exhibiting aggressive behavior. If you spray a bear that is not acting aggressively, you may very well provoke the bear. In addition, do not spray the bear repellent around your campsite or on your clothing or exposed skin. It does not work like insect repellent! Keep in mind other factors such as wind and the distance between you and the bear.
Other bear safety advice offered by Jack Hanna and the National Park Service from the report on www.abcnews.go.com: “If the pepper spray doesn’t work, Hanna said, hunker down and brace yourself. It is advice that has been successfully used on the same trail before. Also, the National Park Service suggests that people get in either a fetal position or turn sideways to assume a non-threatening stance.”
“‘What you don’t want to do is run,’ Hanna said. ‘You put your arms in front of your face and protect your face. They’ll bat you around and bite you, and then they’re going to leave you alone. They’re telling you to stay away. They’re not trying to eat you.’ Grizzlies spend their days eating berries, grass, moles and bugs instead, he said. But the one thing visitors ultimately can do to assure their safety is to visit outdoor locations early in the day. Hanna admitted that he and his wife made the mistake of heading out too late.” Zookeeper Jack Hanna Uses Pepper Spray to Save Hikers From Bear
Don't Enter Bear Country Without Protection
Finally, it’s a good idea to have more than one canister of bear spray in case you panic and drain your first can dry, or if you encounter more than one bear during your hike, picnic or camping trip. Chances are good that you’ll never have to use even one can. But wouldn’t you rather be safe than sorry? For more information, and to purchase a supply of the most effective bear spray on the market, click HERE. And don’t forget to purchase a nylon holster for your bear repellent so that it is always handy.
Most of us feel safe while out walking with our dogs. After all, dogs are not only our friends, but also our protectors. But what if a bigger, aggressive dog approaches you while you are out on a walk with your canine companion? Are you prepared to protect yourself and your furry friend? I’m not suggesting you ought to feel paranoid. As long as you take three simple steps before leaving the house, you will most likely be prepared to handle a potentially aggressive dog. One of these steps is to take along a dog repellent spray, such as Mace Brand Canine Repellent. For more information about dog spray and how to stay safe while walking with your dog, please read my article on Associated Content, entitled, Protect Yourself and Your Dog From Other Dogs While Taking a Walk. Simply click on the title of the article and you’ll be taken right to the information.
Did you know that more than 900 children between 1 and 14 years of age die each year in drowning accidents? In California, drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children between 1 and 4 years of age. But, do you really need these statistics to convince you to do everything you can to prevent this from happening to your child or grandchild?
Protect Your Family With a Pool Alarm System
Children are not the only victims of an unsupervised pool. Family pets can also fall or jump into a swimming pool and then drown when they are unable to get back out.
The POOL ALARM is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It’s portable, self-contained and light weight. The unit is very simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the Pool Alarm’s electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm at the unit and inside your house from the remote receiver. It is very easy to install the Pool Alarm. It sits on the pool deck, taking up very little space.
Don't Let Your Children Become a Statistic!
After you install the Pool Alarm, it can’t be deactivated; it is always in the alarm ready mode until you put it in Sleep Mode. If someone who does not know how to put the Pool Alarm in sleep mode attempts to remove the alarm, it will sound an alarm.
The Pool Alarm comes with a remote receiver which can be mounted in your home up to 200 feet from the main unit, and includes a 12 volt power supply. The Pool Alarm uses one 9-volt battery (not included) which should last approximately one year. There is an audible low battery indicator which will sound at the poolside alarm and the remote receiver.
Don’t risk the life of your child or beloved pet! The Pool Alarm is affordable and simple to use.
Fun in the Sun!
It will help make your summer fun and care-free for years to come.
Buy a Diversion Safe BEFORE your valuables are stolen …. My mother and I met for lunch the other day and one of the first things she said to me was, “My friend needed some of your products, but now it’s too late.” I asked her what she meant and she proceeded to tell me about how her friend’s grandson stole a large sum of money from her and her husband. I’ll leave out everyone’s name, since this is a true story. She was referring to the diversion safes that I offer for sale on my website, Safe & Sound Security Products.
A&W Root Beer Diversion Safe
Anyway, just recently, a very nice family was victimized by one of their own family members. This young man is the son of a police detective and was raised in a good family. They are church-going people who spend a lot of time with family members. For whatever reason, however, this young man started to use drugs and eventually became a heroin addict. No matter what they tried to do to help him, he continued to use drugs. And now he has turned to crime to support his addiction. The last thing this family wanted to think about was the possibility that he would steal from his own family. But it happened. His grandmother, who is my mother’s best friend, told my mother that he stole over $600 from her and about another $50 from his grandfather. They don’t own any safes, diversion safes or otherwise.
These people, like so many of us, didn’t think they needed to safeguard against their own family members and left this money where it was too easy to find. Knowing I sell diversion safes on my website, my mother thought that if her friends had hidden their money inside these items, their grandson would never have thought to look for money in them.
Diversion safes look like ordinary household items: brand name soda cans like Dr. Pepper and 7-Up, books, Miller Beer, household cleaners such as Ajax, shaving cream cans, automotive products, canned dog food,
Kibbles 'n Bits Diversion Safe
peanut butter, Pringles potato chips, an electrical wall socket, and even a functional flower pot. You simply hide your money or valuables inside, and store the safe with other like items. For example, put the soda and beer cans inside your refrigerator. . . you are hiding your valuables in plain sight! With the flower pot safe, you can use it as an ordinary planter for your houseplants or seasonal flowers. Meanwhile, your valuables are tucked safely inside. Burglars and thieves are in a hurry to get in, steal, and get out. They won’t have time to look through all of your “ordinary” food and household items to search for money and valuables.
Hide Your Valuables in Plain Sight!

My dad was a scout leader so I pretty much grew up outdoors. I fell in love with it all – camping, hunting and hiking.
I can not help but fall in love with the forest more and more. Eventually, I got myself a rest house near the forest somewhere in Montana. I go there for camping and hiking on weekends, with friends sometimes and all by myself other times.
As much as I love it, the outdoors almost ended my life. This was an experience I could never forget and never wished to happen again.
It happened in the late summer of 2009. I was exploring the woods near my rest house at around 5pm. And when I was just getting started to settle to camp and start a fire, a young bear suddenly showed up in front of me.
At first, I could not think of anything to grab but the knife I kept in my bag. I tried to run but it attacked me in a matter of seconds. I had no choice but to stab the bear repeatedly with the knife I was carrying. I felt horrible. I was severely injured and the bear sustained several wounds.
I learned my lesson from that experience. From then on, I never go camping without bear sprays, especially the Guard Alaska Bear Repellent Spray. It is the safest, most reliable and environment-friendly among all bear sprays I have sampled. It even comes with a safety cap for safe transport.
Yes, it happened again that a grizzly bear, weighing about 400 pounds this time, hysterically attacked me. I was prepared this time and managed to shoot the bear in the face with the bear spray. The bear could not get any closer because its eyes were already burning even if I was around 20 feet away. I was able to run back to my house without the bear coming after me. Thank God for bear sprays!
I stay safe in the outdoors with bear sprays around. I feel secure with my Guard Alaska Bear Repellent Spray. Who wouldn’t be? It is approved by the EPA and recommended by the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation.
