Review Title

By Ranked #16 - Cookware July 23, 2009

I've had this canister for about four years of about 25 days per year of backpacking. I've appreciated it immensely. It's clear (which is ginormously great), slightly lighter than the Garcia, less expensive than the Bearikade, it rain-proof and makes a fine seat. I've used the Garcia and I like this one much better. I fit it into the bottom of my packs and it does just fine. I do two and three day trips with a 2700 cu in pack, longer or snow trips in a 3400 cu in pack with this in the bottom. I can fit about four-person-days worth of food and gear in it, so it's good for all of Nancy and my three day trips and under.
