I have never much thought about security at a campsite, but my companions say that鈥檚 because I鈥檓 a cisgender, white male senior citizen. But the opportunity arose recently at Caballo Campground in Los Padres National Forest in California.

After driving a bumpy half-mile dirt forest service road toward the campground, we parked for lunch, and a man drove up in a four-wheel drive Tacoma with a nice-looking pittie wagging its tongue out the window. He said, 鈥淚 just wanted to warn you there鈥檚 a sketchy-looking motorcycle parked behind the trees just a few feet from where you are stopped.鈥�

The driver insinuated it might be some kind of nefarious activity.

Suddenly I remembered that I had a Repuls Defense Spray clipped on the back of my driver seat MOLLE (modular lightweight load-carrying equipment) ladder for such an occasion.

Safety had recently come up when a Vietnam veteran relative from Texas suggested we carry a gun while camping to protect ourselves. Since we knew border crossings were much harder to navigate with a firearm, and knowing that I was more likely to shoot myself in the foot than use it for protection, I rejected the idea.

Repuls sent me two of their kits to review at no cost, and I was looking for an opportunity to try them out. I had asked the spokesperson for Repuls if they could be used on wildlife such as bears and mountain lions, and she said in an email that their product was more suited for humans of the unkind kind.

The Repuls Defense Spray says it is ecofriendly and water-based. It can be used indoors or outdoors, and it does not cause cross-contamination. It has a 鈥淢ade in U.S.A.鈥� label, which makes me feel safer.

It does caution that it is a skin irritant; that you should not incinerate the canister or store it above 120 degrees 鈥� be careful keeping it in your vehicle in New Mexico 鈥� and that the use of it in any manner other than for self-defense is a crime. Some states restrict fluid size and online purchasing, as shown on the checkout page, and the website says to check state laws for regulations.

The Repuls packaging also says to both read the instructions and watch the warning and instructions at repulsdefensespray.com/pages/training before heading out on your adventure.

The owner of the motorcycle returned a few minutes later, dragging a gas can. He said he had run out of fuel and had to ride double with his friend down the mountain to get more.

The Tacoma with the dog came rolling back down the dirt road, and everyone was happy as the refilled two-wheeler jetted down the trail in a cloud of dust.

I felt all the safer having my defense spray clipped to my belt. Now I just need to make sure the laws of California, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona allow its use, but in a defensive emergency situation, I would surely use it.

Later that night we camped near Pyramid Lake, where we could hear the buzzing of Interstate 5 connecting our anxiety to the big city of Los Angeles less than an hour away.

In the middle of the night, I heard a scream, then someone yelled my name.

Turns out it was a false alarm caused a falling board inside the camper van, not an intruder.

Knowing we had Repuls spray at hand for protection lowered my anxiety.

The Repuls motto, 鈥渂etter than pepper spray,鈥� is included on the packaging, which says it is a revolutionary water-based air content spray to neutralize active threats.

The versions for camping, such as the RDS3, start at $21.50 for the one-use sprays that work in a range of 12-to-20 feet.

鈥淧epper spray is carried by many people for self-defense, but while it is effective it also has shortcomings,鈥� according to sales material from Repuls. 鈥淏ecause of how it spreads through the air, when pepper spray is used it can accidentally impact the person spraying it and bystanders in addition to the person posing the threat. This not only has made it impossible to use pepper spray in certain settings, but it has also made people hesitant to spray it when they feel threatened.

鈥淩epuls is a new non-lethal self-defense spray that can be used as a pepper spray alternative,鈥� Jody Allen Crowe, founder and CEO of Crotega Safety Solutions in Crystal, Minnesota, said. 鈥淛ust as effective at immobilizing an attacker by causing involuntary closure of the eyes. Repuls only impacts the individual it is sprayed on, eliminating the risk of blowback or accidental impacts.鈥�

Thankfully I haven鈥檛 had the need to deploy my Repuls, so I can鈥檛 speak to its effectiveness. But I do feel better knowing it鈥檚 there.
