Grizzly Defense Gun

The photos in that article are pretty telling. I first started realizing the scale of these guys when I ran across patches of ground in the woods that look earthmoving equipment had been busy. It was just a bear trying to nab some squirrels that had gone into holes! Like a thousand pound terrier's back yard, the earth was wadded up and tossed behind him.
 
Hi guys,
My dream is my long postponed trip to Alaska to camp and fly-fish.
My nightmare is Grizzlies entering my tent.

A few years ago I made a kit consisting of the Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum, my BOREALIS 1050 lumens flashlight, and some kind of short spear that I can raise if the bear is coming on top of me,
(A couple of sketches are shown; of course they are not finished)
The screaming siren is a perimeter alarm with trip cord (the eye bolts are for the wire) the little LED light is about 5 lumens, it will be going the whole night providing illumination, I don't want to be groping in the dark for my gun and Borealis light.

I added to the kit, a driveway patrol infrared sensor, to have two "early warning systems".

I probably will buy as new gun, now that they are in the market, I think a Smith & Wesson .500

Here is the driveway patrol infrared alarm system.

Like to hear if somebody has other ideas for protection at night in a tent.

All the best
Black Bear
