In reply to Bear canisters revisited (please) posted by Karman on April 1, 2007 at 10:49:50 am EDT

I just tried out a new entry into the bear canister world. (Bare Boxer) It's small and fit into my backpack very nicely. It seems lighter than anything else out there. And it held enough food for me for the three day weekend (Memorial Day). Best of all, I paid only $40 for it. (I followed the link from the forest service bear canister site and found it at bareboxer.com.

It seems to hold a little less than half as much as the big canisters, but then I never filled the big ones up on a weekend trip anyway. On the down side, the opening is a little tight for getting food in and out. It also took a little figuring out to get the hang of the locking mechanism (but the locks are bomb proof). It turns out that any key will work. But all in all, it's a vast improvement over anything else for a day trip or a short two or three days out. It must be new because I hadn't seen it a few months ago. Has anybody else tried out the Bare Boxer.
