Protection?

I do live in this type of area. Bear and coyote are a common concern. It just so happens that we have a fairly well fenced back yard so we haven't (yet) had a bear come into our spa space, but I would think Bear Spray is a good bet.
I just got back from Outdoor Retailer Summer Market Place in SLC. I was amazed at the variety of sprays and canisters for bear.
Here is just one option
I became more alert to this after a friend's husband and daughter were attacked in MT last year.

I agree... normally I carry all the time and am grateful that my employer allows us to crry as well. Most nights when I get home, usually just strip down on the porch throw gun/holster on picnic table (within eyesight) and jump in!

If you have drank enough for you to die in a hot tub your an idiot, and probably should win a Darwin award. If your worried about being attacked by a bear while getting into or using your spa, your paranoid. I carry, most of the time, I have six acres that's pretty secluded in NW Washington. Last thing I think about is a bear killing or attacking me when I get home, I do think of and usually have a beer though before getting in and while soaking.
This was taken about 5 miles or less give or take from my house a couple of days ago. Granted it's a black bear, but still a bear.

Lots of bears around my house. I am more concerned about driving to work, or anywhere. If you worry about bears more than driving your priorities and messed up.
