In the Sierra, eg. on the JMT, where a bear can as advisable or required, I have been very?happy?with the Nunatak Bears Ears, which is pretty unusual in that it's made to have a bear can attached outside and below the pack. I use Bearikades with it. I got one of the original ones, and my only complaint was that when carrying a lot of weight (e.g. week of food) the fact that it was frameless was an issue. ...subsequently I now also have the "framed" version, which has load-lifters. It weighs more but definitely carries heavier loads (30 lbs+) better. Big fan of these. I appreciate being able to get into the can, and pack/unpack the rest of my kit, without getting the can in/out of a pack. The way it straps in it's very easy to loosen a couple straps and pull the can free—I like to use the Bearikades?as as a table! ? ? I see they now come in more than black as well! And I think my only wish-list item was?integrated?belt pouches. But I added one myself to both packs, so all good... and I see that is now an option as well! But it may take some time to get one and they're pretty spendy... Aaron On Thu, Aug 22, 2024 at 8:44?AM Tom Kennefick via <tomkennefick=[email protected]> wrote:
