SABRE Frontiersman Bear Bell, Magnetic Silencer, Durable Hook and Loop Strap Attachment, Helps To Prevent Startling Bears While Hiking

The SABRE Frontiersman Bear Bell has earned its place as an essential accessory for outdoor enthusiasts venturing into bear country. As someone who frequently explores remote wilderness areas, I understand the importance of taking precautions to mitigate wildlife encounters, and this bear bell provides a simple yet effective solution.One of the standout features of the Frontiersman Bear Bell is its audible alert system. The bell emits a steady jingle as you hike, serving as an early warning signal to bears and other wildlife of your presence. This added awareness can help prevent surprise encounters, reducing the risk of potentially dangerous situations for both humans and animals.The magnetic silencer feature is a clever addition, allowing users to silence the bell when not needed, such as during breaks or when in camp. This versatility ensures that the bell's sound can be controlled based on the situation, adding convenience without compromising safety.Furthermore, the durable hook and loop strap attachment provide a secure and hassle-free way to affix the bell to backpacks, clothing, or gear. Its robust construction withstands the demands of outdoor adventures, offering peace of mind that it will stay in place even in rugged terrain.While the Frontiersman Bear Bell is a valuable tool for wilderness safety, it's worth noting that its effectiveness may vary depending on environmental factors and individual bear behavior. While it serves as a deterrent, it's not a foolproof solution and should be used in conjunction with other bear safety measures, such as proper food storage and bear spray.In summary, the SABRE Frontiersman Bear Bell is a reliable and practical addition to any outdoor enthusiast's gear arsenal. Its audible alert system, magnetic silencer, and durable design make it a trusted companion for navigating bear country with confidence.

Use it for dog collar when walking in woods. Helps to alert us where the dog is but also to tell all the critters the dog is there. Bell is pretty loud, not terribly loud but enough to hear few yards away w coverage.

Overall, I like the bell. We live in an area with lots of wildlife and I strap this to my stroller on walks. I wish the bell rang a bit more but it does the job.

I hate ringing my bell and scaring the living 💩 out of walkers. But this bell was subtle, yet still loud enough for walkers to hear. It won’t jingle while you ride so you’ll have to loosely wrap it around the handlebar, then give it a shake for it to ring.

My girlfriend and I just returned from a trip to Alaska where we used these bear bells. I purchased the 4-pack in different colors. These bells work very well. They are loud and can be easily strapped onto your coat, belt loop, pack, or just about anywhere else you can think of. It might take some experimenting to figure out where your natural body movements cause the loudest jingle (for me, it was hanging one on the bottom of my coat). My favorite feature on these is the little magnetic strap that can be easily used to silence the bells. The strap has a small magnet knitted into it, you just have to align the magnet directly with the metal ball in the bell and it sticks to it, preventing all sound. I liked silencing my bells when we were around other people on the trail, and letting them ring when we were more isolated. My only complaint is that on one of the bells, the knitting for the magnet unraveled so if I had kept using it I might have lost the magnet. This wasn't a big deal for me because I noticed before the magnet fell off and we had the extra bells available. I was able to easily knit it back shut when we got home. I would recommend buying one or two extra bells though for this reason. Overall I would highly recommend these!

We trail ride horses and there is always an adventure with wildlife, but this bell gives us peace of mind in those moments we are not chatting or laughing enough for animals to hear us coming up the trail. It has taken me a long time to get a bear bell because I was afraid the noise would become annoying, but honestly you hardly know its there and it is almost like a caravan of gypsies walking through the wilderness and the sound is not offensive at all to us. Two of us have this bell, and I never hear the other rider's, only mine- and I have other brass bells attached along with it and there's a sweet musical chime to them all. So far it has worked- there have been no surprised bears, no spooked boars and the deer are rarely hidden as they perk up and listen to who's coming with these bells on. It's totally worth the price and it is a very nicely made little gadget.

This bell has been perfect for my favorite hiking partner (my dog)!During bear season in the Green Mountains, we use the bell anytime we go on a hike. We have seen multiple bears including cubs so we also carry air horns and bear spray, but this bell gives us some peace of mind, letting our dog wander a little ways off the beaten trails.Now I use this bell year round! In off-seasons, I do put the silencer on partially to dull the sound a little since some of our trails are nearby people’s homes.My dog likes to lag behind on hikes to sniff so it can be hard to keep track of him without looking over your shoulder ever 20 seconds. I can tell by the jingling if he’s behind me or walking farther back. It also lets me know when I should stop to let him catch up when it goes quiet and he’s stopped to take a long sniff!LOVE the magnetic silencer and sturdy construction of the bell and it’s strap. It sounds like a jolly sleigh bell so it isn’t too bad to listen to either!
