BearVault Bear Canisters for Backpackers and Campers | BV500 or BV450

When it Comes to Bears, Nothing Compares

Tried and tested by over a quarter million outdoor enthusiasts, BearVault has been the industry leader for over 15 years. Nothing else compares. Foiling grizzly bears and black bears at test facilities, and wild bears throughout campsites in North America, BearVault canisters have been put to the test by more bears than any other canister on the market.

Easy, User Friendly

BearVault is hands down the easiest bear canister to use, open and close, see and access your food, carry, and protect your food. It is lightweight yet super rugged, and keeps your food protected from raids by bears, rodents, and other wildlife.

Perfect for Hiking, Backpacking, Camping, Canoeing, Kayaking, Hunting, and Fishing Trips

Whether you are trekking over peaks and passes, exploring wild forests, gliding through the waters of the backwoods, or enjoying nature on an overnight adventure - put your worries aside by properly storing your food and scented items. Sit back (using your BearVault as a stool), relax, and enjoy nature.

Protect Food, Protect Bears

They say "a fed bear is a dead bear", and it is true: every year over a thousand bears are put down when they become habituated to food and trash left around by people. Thank you for securely protecting your own food, and doing your part to keep bears wild.
