SABRE's Frontiersman® MAX Bear Spray: Enhanced Protection for Outdoor Enthusiasts
In an important step for outdoor safety, SABRE, renowned for its personal safety and outdoor defense products, has announced an update regarding its Frontiersman® MAX Bear Spray. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has broadened its approved usage to include deterrence against a total of nine wildlife species found across North America. This follows its previous designation limited to bear and mountain lion encounters.
An Expanded Safety Tool for Outdoor Activities
Outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and hunting often bring enthusiasts into close contact with various wildlife species. According to recent statistics, more than 330 million individuals visit national parks annually in search of adventure among the vast wilderness. In the face of potential threats from wildlife, including bears and mountain lions, SABRE's Frontiersman® MAX spray now offers a more versatile solution for individuals who encounter different animals in their outdoor explorations.
With the new EPA approval, the Frontiersman® MAX Bear Spray is now effective against:
- - Bears
- - Mountain Lions
- - Feral Dogs
- - Bison
- - Moose
- - Coyotes
- - Wild Boars
- - Opossums
- - Raccoons
This expanded approval addresses the reality that outdoor enthusiasts face diverse wildlife threats beyond bears. As David Nance, CEO of SABRE, emphasizes, “Every year, outdoor enthusiasts encounter a wide range of potentially dangerous animals… The EPA's expanded approved-use designation for Frontiersman® MAX is crucial in giving consumers a single solution for varying wildlife encounters.”
A Call to Preparedness and Awareness
Despite the importance of carrying deterrents like bear spray, many outdoor adventurers fail to do so. Research indicates that only 52% of overnight backpackers and a mere 13% of day hikers utilize bear spray when navigating bear habitats. While bears and mountain lions are often at the forefront of safety discussions, encounters with other wildlife species can happen often depending on the region.
The updated EPA designation for Frontiersman® MAX represents a pivotal moment in wildlife safety and preparedness, granting outdoor enthusiasts a dependable option to protect themselves against wider threats while engaging in recreational activities.

SABRE’s Frontiersman® MAX Bear Spray stands out for its non-lethal yet effective approach to wildlife protection. This goes hand-in-hand with the commitment to responsible outdoor behavior and wildlife stewardship.

For those in the professional realm, the update solidifies the Frontiersman® MAX as an essential tool for anyone dealing with wildlife in their profession. It serves to enhance the safety of not just outdoor enthusiasts but also those engaged in occupations where wildlife encounters might occur.
