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.

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.
