Lighter and more compact than other bear resistant food containers, the BearVault BV450 Jaunt bear canister features simple access and volume for a 4-day solo backpacking trip or a weekend trip for 2.
Features
Specifically designed to be wide, round and slippery to reduce leverage points for entry from bear jaws, claws and paws
Weight is low and volume is high, thanks to the durable, polycarbonate construction
Screw-on lid is intuitive and secure, and doesn't require extra tools to operate; no need to overtighten; see instructional video on how to properly open and close container
Transparent canister is easy to see into and doesn't require you to empty the contents of the container to find specific items
Wide opening allows you to reach all the way in to find your tasty treats
Strap guides aid in strapping and packing canister to your preference; an ideal place for your can is inside your pack just above your sleeping bag
Container doubles as a camp stool, a luxury most backpackers leave behind; close lid fully when using as a stool to preserve the screw-top threads
This BearVault model has approval from both the Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group and Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee
Stash on the ground or in a niche 100 ft. downwind of camp and cooking site; do not hang; never keep BearVault inside your tent
Wipe rim clean of dirt and grime, and clean with mild soap and warm water; use a dry bag with your canister near saltwater; apply food-grade silicone to threads as needed
Note: harsh chemicals will destroy the plastic; keep DEET and other strong chemicals away, or double bag it carefully if storing inside
When not using, store in a dry, cool place out of UV sun rays
