Re: Bear canister Unless you are going to need to use it all the time, you can rent the Bearikade by mail. Very good canister. I like the lock system a lot better than the screw on lids of the Bear Vault. |

Warbonnet BlackBird It was made by a hammocker and includes lots of nice little features that add up to a high quality, comfortable, versatile hammock. I've hung the Blackbird in less than optimal places, over brush ... |
