The strap doubles in use as a handle to sling camera+lens around my head to knock out bears...

Yep - two insanely useful things.

There's a lot of misinformation about bears out there - in fact they can be more wary of people when just out of hibernation (technically torpor) , as they are slower and weaker. Whatever that means, I am still keeping my distance and giving them as much respect as usual. But as far as bear spray, it's been seen time and time again to be more effective than a firearm.
