Should I buy some mace or pepper spray for my trip?
Because I'm traveling alone? If you think so, where can I buy it (no time to purchase online now)?

1. Go to a sporting goods store.

2. where are you travelling?
If you're concerned about being attacked by bears, don't get pepper spray. Doesn't affect 'em.

5. I'm moving to Texas
And am driving by myself. You always hear these horror stories about women traveling alone being followed and attacked. I'll have my vicious attack cats with me, but they'll be too busy yelling to be of much help.

4. I always carry some with me. It is on my key chain, but I think it
is expired by now. But it serves as a deterrent, maybe if they see it in my hand, they'll stay away!

6. No. Spend the money on car maintainance
make sure yer oil and all that are in tiptop shape so that your odds of breaking down and needing mace are lessened.

Have fun! Watch out for those cowboys!

8. Never a bad accessory to have on your key ring.
