Before considering taking '''pepper spray''' with you, read the entire article about [[hitchhiker's safety]]. Pepper spray is definitely one of the more anti social ways and not many hitchhikers think it's necessary (or even desirable) to bring pepper spray when hitchhiking. Still, nobody wants to think too much about possible negative encounters while hitchhiking, but if the unthinkable happens, and you find yourself in a dangerous situation, you might be grateful to be in possession of some pepper spray. In some countries it is entirely legal ([[Germany]], for example, as in the south you may encounter bears.), in other countries it is illegal to carry in public.
