The BV500® — Journey is the gold standard for multi-day adventures, long-distance hikers, and aspirational thru-hikers. The largest and most spacious of BearVault canisters, BV500s have logged more miles than any other canister. Whether packing a few hearty meals for a group or counting every ounce of calories to reach your goal, the BV500® is up for the journey, fitting 7+ days of food. Specifically designed to be wide, round, and slippery to reduce leverage points for entry from bear jaws, claws, and paws. Weight is low and volume is high, thanks to the durable, polycarbonate construction. Transparent canister is easy to see into and doesn’t require you to empty the contents of the container to find specific items. Wide opening allows you to reach all the way in to find your tasty treats. Screw-on lid is intuitive and secure, and doesn’t require extra tools to operate; no need to overtighten. Strap guides aid in strapping and packing the canister to your preference; an ideal place for your can is inside your pack just above your sleeping bag. Rounded corners allow for smooth packing and removal. Container doubles as a camp stool, a luxury most backpackers leave behind; close lid fully when using as a stool to preserve the screw-top threads. This BearVault model has approval from both the Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group and Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee. Fits about 7 days of food for one person.
