"Lighter, more spacious, easier to use -- you win, Yogi loses...The screw-on lid requires no tools to open or close, and the waterproof seal keeps contents dry...A wide opening and clear plastic construction make retrieving food easy." - Backpacker Magazine 2004 Editors' Choice Award
Description
The Bear Vault is the first and only bear resistant food container to receive the prestigious Editors' Choice Award from Backpacker Magazine. The BearVault BV-500 has been redesigned to make it roomier and even more bear resistant. The BV-500 is approved by both the Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group (SIBBG) and the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IBGC).
IMPORTANT: BearVault recommends against using BearVault canisters in the Lake Colden/Marcy Dam corridor and the Johns Brook valley.
