## Questions & Answers

**Q: The lid for my canister is stuck, it won't turn at all. Can someone please offer advice?**
A: Previous advice should be good to get it open.  I recommend looking at the male threads, on the canister body not the lid, when you have it open.  The seam where the two halves of the canister are molded together can be pronounced and I found scrapping it down with a knife so that it doesn't interfere with the lid helped tremendously.

**Q: Why don't you ship to Alaska? We have 98% of the brown bears and 70% of the black bears in the US... and you don't ship to Alaska!**
A: We do ship to Alaska, please purchase the item through out web site for shipping to Ak.http://www.omcgear.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=bear+vault-BennettOMC Customer Service

**Q: can the bears smell food through the can?**
A: Yes, bears can smell through the canister. These are not air tight. Place this far away from where you are sleeping. I believe the manufacturer provides a recommended distance. Also bears can smell you. Dont worry black bears are not aggressive. The point of the can is to prevent bears from eating human food and developong an association between food and humans. You are not in any danger unless you are camping near grizzly bears. Grizzly Bears will kill you just for fun regardless of if you have food with you or not. Be

**Q: Would someone please tell me the diameter of the opening? Thank you.**
A: They must have changed the design because mine has an opening of 7-1/2" with an overall outside diameter of 8-3/4" and a height of 12-7/16"

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    400 a good size for solo 2-3 days
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in Canada on 24 March 2022*

The smaller can is larger than I expected (compared to my first choice of the Bare Boxer, which is prohibitively expensive to order in Canada) but it does fit inside my Gossamer Gear Mariposa pack as well as my Kriega OS-32 motorcycle saddle bags no problem. Lid is a bit tricky to remove (two locking tabs to work around) and will likely be even harder in the cold or with cold hands. Fits at least 5 Mountain House freeze-dried dinners and with some aggressive packing should take a bunch of snacks and other food items as well. Overall seems like the best option available, although price is high for what it is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very good product, but more for 3 days than 4
  

*by V***S on Reviewed in Canada on 7 September 2021*

The BearVault is great in every way! Hyghly recommend. However I would say that you’d need to be a world champion at tetris to store 4 days worth of food in there, it’s actually closer to 3 days.

    Won't keep bears out and not allowed in the Adirondacks
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on 1 July 2016*

Purchased this product with the intention of using in the Adirondack mountains where bear barrels are required.  The reviews seemed positive, however, when I showed up on the first day, the Adirondack Loj had a nice display at the front door of the information center with this barrel and it's larger model torn open by bears (see attached pictures).  The "convenient" groove around the lid for a rope makes it very easy for a bear to slip its claws in and remove.  In fact, two different people at the info desk and a ranger on the trail said this model was also so thin that bears had been known to chew a hole in the bottom.Despite the fact that my attached pictures say "bears in the Eastern High Peaks" I imagine bears aren't much around the country (except bigger, making it even easier for them to get inside). The point is, this canister is NOT bear-proof.As a result, I had to rent a different, bear-proof container at the lodge, which was fortunate since we heard a bear heading through our campsite to inspect it and claw marks around the area where it had tried to get it out and fool with it.The only reason I can think of for ANY positive reviews on this container at all is those who gave it a positive rating must not have actually had SEEN any bears or had any try to get into it.  Also, this is a very wide, fat container that would be awkward anywhere, including on the outside of the pack.  The black, thinner models are easier to slide into a backpack and are actually bear-proof.Fortunately, Amazon honored my return...
