Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018
I wasn't there to see if any bears touched this fence, but I do know my camp was never touched by bears, and having grown up on a farm, I know electric fences will scare even a big bull. These were perfect conditions for an electric fence: camps set up for two weeks at a time, and damp, soft ground. I suspect that people who don't think this fence gives enough jolt were wearing shoes that insulated them from the ground or didn't have it set up right. It gives a good shock, which I would fully expect to send a bear running. Few people know more about keeping bears away than beekeepers, and electric fences are standard tools for them.
Definitely practice with this fence at home before heading afield, and read the instructions carefully. I'd say it took me about an hour to set up properly each time, and a half hour to take down and roll up carefully to prevent tangling. I was out for 70 days, and I think I was on my third set of 2 "D" batteries at the end.
Pros:
Fairly light and compact
One of the most effective ways to keep bears out of camp
Easy on batteries if kept clear of vegetation and snow
Much easier than trying to piece together all the components on my own
Cons:
Time consuming to set up and take down. Not worth it for me when I move camp every day.
Hard to set up in very hard ground.
Likely ineffective in very dry ground
I agree with this summary:
"Tom Smith, a research ecologist with the U.S.G.S., has used bear fences extensively and written about their effectiveness. He recommends electric fences for certain situations – camps where bear numbers are high, where bears have created problems, and hunting camps where meat is stored – but would not suggest they be used by everyone.
'The vast majority of campers in Alaska have no serious bear problems nor should they have to suddenly be worrying about carrying and using a fence,” he writes. “I wouldn't think to use a fence in a place like Denali National Park... the bear numbers are too few and generally bear-human incidents rare. On the other hand, if I was going to camp along coastal Katmai I wouldn't be without one.' "
Well I don't know if a bear had tried to come in so I'm not sure it stops them, but it gives me a little bit of piece of mind. Overall I think it expensive for what it is, it's very simple and you could probably build your own much more cheaply, but I didn't and paid for the convenience which I guess most people do. The only thing I was expecting was a bit more of a kick when I touched the fence, I'm used to touching the permanent fences in farmers paddock that give you a good zap and hurt, this one is more a tickle when you touch it. I guess it's enough to scare a bear off....
The battery pack in the first fence broke apart when I flipped the power switch on upon first inspection out of the box. The metal piece that touches the batteries will no longer stay in place and it does not turn off… always on, so you have to completely remove the batteries each time to pack this fence up.
Although there are no burn marks, the battery pack has a strong burnt smell. I noticed this smell out of the box.
The fence was down on the ground after two days, even with proper tensioning and using alligator clips to keep each rope end in its place.
The grounding rod in the box with the busted power pack appeared to be a cheap replacement. Yesterday I opened the second fence to try and sun out parts and saw that this “replacement rod” is in fact not the rod that is supposed to come with the fence.
This fence appears to have been slapped back together and repackaged with a broken battery pack and cheap replacement grounding rod.
The cost went up from $185 in a few short weeks of purchasing this. Even at that price, and even if all the parts were in tact, the quality of materials is a disappointment.
