Bear Canister

A bear canister is a hard-sided, lockable container designed to store food and scented items while camping or backpacking in bear country. These cylindrical containers are made from durable materials like polycarbonate plastic and feature secure locking mechanisms that bears cannot open, protecting both your food supply and preventing bears from becoming habituated to human food sources. Bear canisters are required equipment in many wilderness areas and national parks, and they eliminate the need for hanging food bags while providing reliable protection against bears, rodents, and other wildlife.
