You can rest easy after a long day of backpacking knowing your camp is off bear radar when your food is secure in the Bear Vault 500. Lightweight and designed with strap-guiding grooves, the BV500 adds only a couple of pounds (without food) to your load for a more bearable hike. Fitting for a dinner chair, you can easily see your week's worth of food through the hefty polycarbonate make and procuring it's contents is a breeze for people, once you know one of the lid tricks to remove the lid. Fun fact, in contrast, the Bear Vault's black bear trial run lasted 47 hours longer than required, ending in a second large bear giving up.
