YELLOW JACKET Portable Electric Fence Kit

When that old bear touches his big wet nose on your Yellow Jacket portable electric fence 8,000 volts going ZAP will give him something to think about other than coming into your camp uninvited.  Yellow Jacket is a great bear repellent product that provides a high degree of bear safety as an alternative to bear pepper spray.  And, this bear repellent electric fence works while you are away from camp or sleeping.

Light, easy to pack, easy to set up, this portable large critter and bear deterrent charges up to 10 miles of fence and operates on only 4 D cell size flashlight batteries and is about the size of a quart of milk! The unit produces around 8,000 volts of attention-getting ZAP that will definitely keep a horse or cow in a pasture and an uninvited bear out of your camp.

Dave designed the Yellow Jacket to help give some added protection for your camp when you are in the wilderness. The Yellow Jacket bear repellent portable electric fence comes complete with everything you need to set up and use except the batteries. There's a roll of wire for a 500 feet long fence. If the wire gets broken you can twist tie it in a knot an it is working again.

The Yellow Jacket bear repellent portable electric fence has a high and a low setting and a flashing light indicator that shows that the unit is working. When you're floating and camping beside the river bears usually come and go from the water hunting salmon or drinking and are usually wet. This will give the fence great conductive contact and excellent results. We provide a supply of nylon cable ties and nylon jump cord so you can install the fence almost any place you want with very little effort. Rest easy in bear country.  Yellow Jacket is a great bear deterrent.

This kit can now be used as a back pack model also just by using the controller, water bucket, coated copper ground wire, a few insulators, cord, cable ties Flag, and tester. This way you have both in one package and can be used. We find this is a very use full package by allowing you to be very portable if needed.

1 Yellow Jacket Fence Controller
1 Roll (500 feet) Electric Fence Poly Wire
1 Copper coated ground rod
4 Four Foot Poly step posts (2 piece can be 2' or 4'

That's a size 12 wader boot beside fresh "young" Grizzly tracks, along the banks of Goose Creek near Talkeetna, Alaska.  The dead salmon is a spawned out Pink.  We saw two Griz this day.  The big one persuaded us to stop fishing!

"We used the Yellow Jacket bear repellent electric fence on Alaska's Kodiak Island in an area where we knew we'd see bears. When a bear touched the Yellow Jacket fence, it turned on its haunches and was gone! We still follow all the clean camp safety rules but we're resting a lot easier now on all our camping trips! Thanks for a great product that really works!"  - Jim S.

Dear Dave,

The maiden voyage was great. No steelies, but the boat performed just perfectly. I caught on pretty quickly, to my pleasant surprise. You can get around to just about anywhere you want. The boat moves pretty quickly. The ability to stand up eliminates the problem of very shallow riffles, which are common in the low flow section of the Feather.

A few drift boats went by, they looked like motor homes with about the same agility.

I did a mini-trip whereby I floated 2 miles of river, packed it all up, and hiked back to my car along the levee. Made the kitchen sink mistake, but after humping it all the way back you can bet that won't happen again.

The Water Strider isn't the best thing since toilet paper, it's better! There are alternatives to the toilet paper but not to this boat. It's the one!

I'm coming to realize this boat opens up a whole new world, even on long-familiar waters. It basically doubles or even triples your fishing area. The other day when I went out, I'd beach at the top of a riffle, bank fish that side, then row up and across and repeat for the other side. Then row up into the center and fish the middle seams and buckets on the drift down. Fished places I'd only looked at for 30 years!

 
As you can tell I'm very enthusiastic.

Joel B.
