Good advice "Use pepper spray canister in a windshield wiper motion, spraying back and forth"..Also be careful on a windy day - turn your head while spraying. Get the gel as it is thicker and less likely to blow around as much.
This is a great how to. Know how to use your defense products is the first step in making sure you are able to get away from an attacker. Stun guns are also another great method of defense.
Also, if it is windy the pepper spray could end up back in your face. Make sure you know where you are spraying and try to spray with the wind if possible. You do not want to end up immobilizing yourself rather than the attacker. Great hub!
