Bear Vault

A classic for shorter trips, the BV450-Jaunt® is the ideal bear canister for a weekend trip for two, or a solo trip for a few days. Compact enough to fit into smaller packs, yet spacious enough for  a wholesome amount of food, the BV450-Jaunt® keeps your food safe, protects bears and other wildlife, and keeps your backcountry jaunt going, storing 3-4 days of food.

The BV500-Journey® is the gold standard for multi-day adventures, long distance hikers, and aspirational thru hikers. The largest and most spacious of BearVault canisters, BV500s have logged more miles than any other canister. Whether packing a few hearty meals for a group, or counting every ounce of calories to reach your goal, the BV500® is up for the journey, fitting 7 plus days of food.
