Re: Bear canisters revisited (please)

Karman -
There are several other companies that make bags similar to the Watchful Eye Designs Opsak and Aloksak, and about the same price. I don't consider them cheap by a long shot, but indeed they seem to be quite odorproof. By the way, although it hasn't been mentioned in the last few threads on bear containers, most of the companies do recommend using odor-proof liner bags in their containers. It reduces the attraction to the critters and potentially the bear batting the container around and losing it in the brush. I know a couple people who lost containers when a bear played with them and they rolled down a slope into a stream (they luckily spotted the container in the stream the next morning).

I was told this weekend that there is a program that occasionally re-runs on the History Channel (or maybe Discovery or one of the other cable channels) about the national parks that has film of people in Yellowstone and Yosemite feeding bears and doing the bear in the driver seat kind of thing. So you might be able to watch at least a film for free (well, ok, you have to pay your cable subscription).
