Bear Vault BV450 Solo Bear Resistant Food Canister

Bear Vault BV450 Solo Bear Resistant Food Canister description

Nature is great. Until you get eaten by a bear. So next time you're on a solo trip into bear country, bring along the Bear Vault BV450 Bear Resistant Food Canister. With 440 cubic inches of space, this rugged polycarbonate container keeps up to four days worth of supplies and food out of the mouth of hungry bears. An extra-wide, tool-free opening and transparent design let you quickly find the grub you're looking for. Slip this lightweight Bear Vault canister into your pack or use the handy strap-guides to attach the BV450 to the outside of your pack and enjoy a safe trip.

Maybe Adirondack bears are smater than those in the Cascades & Sierra Nevada Mtns (I doubt it) but this product has been tested and both black bear certified (by the Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group) & and grizzley bear certified by the IGBC, & is approved for use in Yosemite, Sequoia & Kings Canyon Nat'l Parks, for the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wilderness Areas and the Inyo National Forest, and, I believe in Olympic Nat'l Park in WA State.

This bear canister is exactly what it should be... easy to use, transparent sides allow you to see what you packed. Nice wide opening to get stuff in and out. It also makes a great basin for washing back at the campground.You can see some photos from my packing of two of these canisters here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/i4mac/sets/72157606445652602/Photos from my trip with them here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/i4mac/collections/72157606739022805/If you are looking for a canister, just by this one and be done!

Be aware these are NOT allowed in NY, Adirondacks, the bears get them on the sides, get bouncing on them and the top pops off. The rangers will turn you back.
