Compact! - Lighter1 Bear Bin

I generally only do shorter backpacking trips (1-2 nights) so my backpack is not super big (the Kelty PK 50). Unfortunately most bear canisters will not fit in this pack with all of my other gear. This canister fits great! I like that it is clear so I can see where everything is inside it (like the Bear Vault), but unlike the Bear Vault it is easy to open, even with cold fingers. The pan that serves as a lid is a cool idea, although I have not tried to boil water in it yet. This canister is probably not big enough for longer trips, but if you are taking longer trips you probably have a bigger pack. I am so glad this canister is available for those of us with smaller packs!!!
