Bearikades are great investments, and I mean that literally. They seem indestructible and used canisters often sell for just a small discount to new, especially if Wild Ideas doesn¡¯t have many in stock. My nine year old Bearikade has appreciated over the years since new canisters keep going up in price. Can¡¯t say that for any of my other old pieces of gear! ?You could buy gold to deal with inflation, but Bearikades might be better.
