Downside is food can get crushed and you need to keep food in zip lock bags because it is not water resistant. that's pretty nifty, but its a no go for NPS backcountry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P-E 1,849 Report post Posted August 4, 2016 In the white mountains, I'm not too concerned about bears, although they are there, it's mostly the small animals I'm trying to keep out. The company claims their product is allowed in all but a few national parks. I find that the canister takes up too much room in the pack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
