Pretty decent - Lighter1 Bear Bin

I bought this model because I needed a bear canister that was accepted in parks both on the east coast and on the west coast. This one fit the bill. It's sturdy, well shaped, see through and comparable in weight to others. I've used it on several week + hikes so far and have enjoyed it much more than the traditional black canisters. The pot/lid, while functional, I never used as a cooking implement for several different reasons: 1) If I had to wash or dry the pot that meant that I left my food open and unattended. 2) Why add more food scent/grease to your canister? 3) Sometimes I like to sit on the can to cook and needed the top on. I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars because the metal screws to secure the lid were not always as easy to work with as they were advertised to be. Also the handle that sat inside the can to screw the screws into could be finicky if there were packages of food that pushed it up- not allowing the holes to align between the handle and the can to get the screws to screw in. While the fixes were simple, I found it annoying. Overall a great product that meets my needs.
