NO-FED-BEAR UDAP Bear Resistant Canister, Hiking Camping Backpacking Hunting Food Storage Container, 2 Gallons, BRC

The item was as advertised. My only issue was that the arrows on the item for which way to turn the screws that secure it are basically unreadable (just molded in the same color and small), and secondary to that the screw heads already started to deform after one trip (so I need to include a larger straight screw driver just to open and close this). But overall it is a good solid option and good for the $. In my case, the unit just fit in the bottom section of my pack.

Great bear canister and a great price. Sure, you need a tool to open them but that’s a cinch, plus I always have a pocket knife on me when I’m hiking. Doesn’t everyone?? I don’t trust the clear blue plastic ones and they’re a pain to open, especially when you have dirt/grit in the threads and your fingers are cold. Shipping was a day later than expected, but we’ll worth it for the $20 savings from the next lowest priced seller.

Definitely not new but not broken either.

I haven’t had a bear encounter with this to really try it, but it seems well made, isn’t too too heavy and bulky for what it is, and the lid secures very well. I used it for a hike through the Yosemite wilderness and it held up well.
