I am quite used to it, but I never take anything for granted...you did the right thing by running back to your car. You just never know and it's better to be safe! The bear spray is powerful and also works on other anilmals that may be threatening. (not to mention any humans that may threaten also) I am always prepared lol...

Not in the forest, but it's very rural in my town...lots of trees and farmland...perfect for all kinds of wildlife, including deer, bears, snakes, etc. We have the forest, but I live in a small neighborhood about a mile from the forest where I go camping...I always bring my bear spray with me lol...
