Review on Upgraded Personal Rechargeable Emergency Security Security & Surveillance by Chad Rosier

Noisy. Perfect! Used as a perimeter alarm

We hike a lot and bears are one of our problems. Mind you, I've been hiking/camping/wildlife trekking for over 16 years and have encountered a lot of wildlife including bears. I was even having a meeting when I saw a young man next to our tent because one of my friends hadn't put away her toothbrush and toothpaste as intended. and since there were no containers for bears, I needed an early warning system. I use them in combination with a rope (like fishing line) to create a perimeter around our camp. When an animal hits a wire, an alarm sounds and we have time to react. So far in the last 6 trips we have not seen a bear in our camp but we have found that the coyote is triggered by an alarm. and a few wild folk who forgot we set up a perimeter. As soon as the alarm goes off, the hardest thing at night is to get up right away, check your surroundings, and put the pen back in to stop the sound. You can imagine how annoyed the neighbors are.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
