Bear Vault BV500 Bear Resistant Food Canister

Item #BRV0004 | 112 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Nice, Bomber Nalgene

By Ranked #420 - Cookware July 20, 2009

Took this and a garcia cache on a three day/two night outing with four people. It was a stretch holding all our food and smelly things though we weren't being very efficient about it.

The instructions were a bit confusing, but once I realized I could just use my finger pad instead of my fingernail to press the lid in, operating it became a non-problem. Haven't tried it with insulated gloves though; I could see that being an issue. Still, I prefer this over needing to carry a tool (coin) to open the lid lie the garcia.

Last but not least, I was pleased to discover the bv500 fit nicely into the bottom of my Ariel 65 sitting sideways.
