Counter Assault Bear Keg EX Bear-Resistant Food Container
If you gotta carry one of these, you might as well get it on sale for a steal. You’re in luck today, because this one is 50% off, bringing it down to $34.93! That is by far the cheapest I have ever found a bear canister.
This is the canister I own and it works fine and has held up very well.
Here are a couple of specs on this one:
- Approved by the IGBC (grizzly bears) & the SIBBG (black bears)
- Weight is 3 lb. 10 oz. (they’re all heavy, and they all suck!)
- Capacity is 11.7 liters
In comparison the popular and similarly sized Bear Vault BV500 is 2 lb. 9 oz., BUT it’s $80, so over twice the price! If you only need one of these infrequently for short trips, I’d personally rather save the money and spend it on some fun backpacking meals to throw in it. 🙂
Quantities are showing as very limited on this deal, so don’t wait too long if you’re in need of one soon.
And if you need bear spray, it’s a STEAL right now for $18.60. When it drops this low, it seems to go back up quickly so grab it fast if you need it (and my apologies if you click to the listing and it’s already inched back up).
