Fireworks and lighters are legal in my country, pepper sprays (most humane) are not.
Firecrackers are the most effective way to disperse large pack of dogs. I carry it on hikes.
Lighter is also quite good weapon. Not the BIC type, more like a small blowtorch for melting copper and other metals.

- mhb 2y agoI've not yet been attacked by a large pack of dogs, but I'm having trouble imagining the situation unfolding in a manner leisurely enough that you would be able to fumble through a bag of stuff to find some firecrackers and light them. Is this a failure of imagination on my part?
- throw384848 2y agoNot everyone keeps defensive weapons at bottom of backpack. Pack does not attack fast (as single animal would). They have hierarchy, and first try to encircle victims. The situation will literally unfold in "leisure manner", they have overwhelming force, and are not in hurry. They also go first after smaller targets (children, your dogs). You will have a lot of time to watch. Often you find some semi-safe spot (tree, high ground), but can not leave. The danger is not to get bitten a few times by alpha dogs, but to let attack continue long enough, you get overwhelmed and all dogs join in.
