Review: Very spacious - Very spacious and good use for bear country! Used this for a 2 night backpacking trip and it held several mountain house meals, ramen, canned goods, and other small scented items. Made sure to put it away from our campsite and nothing got to it. Only if I knew about these during my Yellowstone trip! Couldn’t recommend enough.
Review: Works as expected - Bear can was required where I did an overnight backpacking trip of 2 days. For me, the 425 was plenty big enough to hold my trail food for that timeframe. My only issue is that I paid for a new Bear Vault but was sent a used one. I appreciate that desertcart sent me a new one immediately when I brought that to their attention. These are meant to be tricky to get open. I carried a small flathead screwdriver with me to more easily depress the lock tabs for opening.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i leave this in my car while i go out for a day hike? I don't want my car destroyed.**
A: It’s not like air tight so bears can smell through it. I don’t think they will be able to destroy your car though. If you are nervous though, take the BV out and hide it somewhere in the woods away from your car

**Q: How thick is the plastic?**
A: Not sure how thick it is , but when i went hiking and camping in the Colorado mountains i used it as a seat to set on at night and it held up fine

**Q: Is this water proof or just really useless**
A: Not waterproof. Bear proof

**Q: How is it different than using a cheaper aluminum screw cap jar?**
A: Bears open a screw top jar. You have to squeeze the top on the bear vault and turn it at the same time. Not so easy. Bears can also
Just break jars. This is made of heavy duty plastic

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not too hard to open, fits well in backpack
*by J***E on June 25, 2025*

I used these for a canoe camping trip. I bought two of them for two people and a dog for a four day camping trip. Everything including dog food, our food, snacks, bug spray for us and the dog, sun screen, and medications all fit. We could have probably just done one for the two of us without the dog, so they have a decent amount of room. The locking lid is a little hard to figure out at first. I found it is easiest to push the locking piece down as you spin the lid toward it so that it is already down when the piece reaches the lock. The lock will also be stiff at first, and it will get easier with time. It is also relatively easy to clean. My fishing bait spilled in it, and I was able to wash it up and remove the odor of the synthetic bait. I would not use it for a stool though. It is durable enough, but it really isn’t comfortable to sit on, and I ended up sitting on the ground. I didn’t buy it to be a stool as its primary purpose though, so that’s okay. I can’t say how it would hold up with a bear. It seems durable, and based on the way bear barrels are certified using problem grizzlies from Yellowstone at a facility to test and certify them, I think it would do rather well with the black bears I have in this region. It is heavy to carry in a backpack, but I prefer that over hanging my food because its hard to find a good enough tree to follow regulations in the Boundary waters to secure the bag. The bear barrel follows all regulations and makes sure you aren’t accidentally feeding bears and other wildlife, causing them to become a problem and require removal. These bear barrels will make sure you are keeping you safe, other campers safe, and wildlife safe. I will buy again in the future if I need more for a larger group. I will also add that they do somewhat mask the odor of your food. I had gulp bait spill in it, and I couldn’t smell it until I opened it. Obviously a bear would likely still smell it, but at least it seems to dull the smell a little.
