Bearicade Gear Report

“Pictographs? You have lots of photos of them to inspire you.”

“oh, pictographs are a GREAT idea! hey WLD, if you want somebody to paint/draw them for you, i'll do it. unless, of course, you want to do it yourself! just offering...”

“WHoa, COOL Tarbubble,
I am left handed and my secretaries are the only ones who can read my writing?”

“LOL - if you seriously want me to do it for you, email me & we'll figure out what you want, OK? it's no big deal at all - i'd enjoy it (i like painting).”

“You've GOT MAIL!”

“WLD are you female? You sound really hot!”

“ROFLOL... Nope I am a man.... and you need to save it for the Ladies! LOL”

“I just got back in my chair after seeing the bearicade website,I had no idea that it would be over $200.00 wow.I have seen some bad reviews here on the garcia container for $78.00 ,just how bad is the garcia and for what reasons?I mean were talking the differnce here of the patogonia talus pants and almost throwing in a marmot windshirt too, geeze.discisions,discisions”

“The Garcia works as advertised, as many attest to, in fact you may be able to pick a used one up from some of those that have switched to a Bearicade (Windwalker???).

I have a couple Ursacks I bought a couple years ago when they were "conditionally" approved by NPS (since then this was revoked). I think they're great for protecting your food from rodents, etc., especially in some areas where there may not be many trees to choose from for hanging your food. Still use mine sometimes.

If I were going to Alaska I wouldn't trust my food to an Ursack though...”

“Nothing wrong with the Garcia Cans they work great. They are just a bit on the heavy side, that's all.

I have two sons and a nephew that backpack with me sometmes....so I'm keeping my Garcias too :)”

“You can get moe food into the bearicade. Its waterproof. You can set a stove on it. U can set on it. I have had both and BEST hands down buy it once. 2 cent”

“I shopped around and settled on the Bearikade. I have two of the smaller size (2/3 of the time I only need 1). For only a pound I like the "security" of my food and have replaced my thermarest chair kit. So all in all I save about a 1/2 in the deal.

What sold me over the garcia was the size/weight benefit. Yep the price is high so I asked my wife to get them as a Christmas gift.”
