Thank you for purchasing Bear Shock Food Storage Electric Fence! This
portable electric fence system meets or exceeds guidelines published in the
UDSA Forest Service Recreation Tech Tips (0723-2305-MTDC) in March of
2007. The Forest Service's Technology and Development program provides
practical solutions to problems identified by USDA Forest Service. Please read
the following instructions carefully to become acquainted with some of the
important features of your new food storage electric fence. This high-
performance device must be installed and operated properly in order to achieve
the best possible results.
The Bear Shock Food Fence is designed to provide food and equipment storage
while in bear country and to help protect your food and your equipment from
curious bears by providing a surprising electrical shock when touched.
As in our bear deterrent and pepper sprays, UDAP Industries, Inc. uses only the
highest quality components. UDAP has proudly produced one of the finest, top-
quality battery-operated lightweight electric fence systems available. 4 D-cell
batteries (not included) power the Bear Shock Food Fence energizer. Because of
the efficient electronic circuit design, 4 alkaline D-cells will last approximately 3
weeks under continuous operation, depending on fence and weather conditions.
Bear Shock's Bear Mesh was custom made to UDAP Industries, Inc. meticulous

This electric fencing system presents a mental barrier to an animal rather than a
physical barrier. Once an animal is shocked, even though it has not been harmed,
it will respect the fence out of fear of being shocked again.
Bear Shock Food Fence is a
recommended alternative
food storage device, but does
not replace safety measures.
Never store food or odorous
items in or near your sleeping
area. For recommended
procedures for camping in
bear country, refer to the Bear
Safety Tips Booklet included.
For additional safety in bear
country have UDAP Pepper
Power Bear Spray and the
UDAP Bear Shock Camp
Fence.
Assembly Directions
1 How to setup the Bear Mesh Fence
1. Holding the fence in
front of you gather
the posts and allow
the bear mesh to sag.
2. Push post #1 into the
ground at your
starting point. This
fence has
positive/negative
configuration. This is
the safest type of fence for bears. It insures a ground
connection and does not depend only on the earth
ground. One of the end posts has extra separation
tubes for the Pos/Neg configuration. This is post #1.
3. As you walk to the next location for post #2 let the
mesh follow on the ground.
Step in Post number 2 keeping a bit of tension on the
4.
mesh so it stays upward. Also be sure that the orange
wires are on the
outside of the posts.
You may need to
change direction of
the setup to do this.
For example if you
are installing post #2
on the right side of
post #1 and the
orange wires are on the inside. Place post #2 on the left side and
proceed from there.
NOTE: The tension on the fence may need to be adjusted. At this stage do
not over tension as it may pull the posts out of the ground.
5. The fence is 5 sided and shaped like a pentagon when setup
correctly. The fence has 6 lightweight step-in posts. Push each post
into the ground deep enough to keep them stable. At each post
create an angle that will allow post #6 to be located alongside post
number 1. This is the opening of the
fence.
Tie the number one and number six

post together with the cord provided
using a bow knot like a shoelace. This
will allow you to untie the fence
easily.
7. After each post is upright, the tension may be adjusted. If you
adjust the tension from the inside of the fence, you can also point
