Compact foods to fit into a Bear Can?

“You can't have everything, where would you put it all?”

“I thought you were supposed to bring the bear canister into the tent at night, so you can have a snack if you wake up in the middle of the night and are hungry! ;-)”

“Gemini,

there is info on this page

“why don't we just get one or two of these and put everyone's food in it. It is approved :) ok who wants to carry it

The following two steel salvage drums with a security lid may be used until panniers are purchased: Dozier Equipment Company (Model K-1035, 8 gallon open head) and Lab Safety Supply Company (Model 9M-9117, 8 gallon open head)

I use to work for Dozier Equipment when they were in Nashville. BTW I can buy that drum for only 49.28 plus S&H...that is cheaper than my bear canister and it only weighs 12 lbs

“I remember someone marketing a 5 qt. Hazardous Waste Disposal Container as a bearcan a few years ago...just looked like a big paint can.”

“wonder what kind of pack frame you would need to get that up to a camp
site?”
