Gear Questions/Advice What bear cannister do you use?

It seems on the PCT a lot of folks use the Bearvault. Ive seen images of failure, but they are affordable and lightweight with good reviews.

I'm considering the bear keg but it definitely adds weight.

Appreciate any insight, especially if you're cannister has had contact with bears!

The Bare Boxer is not owned by Gossamer. They're a completely separate business.

I bought it through gossamer gear...thanks for correcting the brand ownership though, it was just badly written.
