“Bearier” bear cannister

If you can't sit on it, then it probably wouldn't get certified either? In any event, its probably not very comfortable to sit on, but if you put a sit pad on it it would probably help allot. Otherwise it would most likely be like sitting on a rock or a section of tree or tree limb. I'm going to carry a few extra oz's this year so I can make my inflatable sleeping pad into a chair. I'm tired of sitting on things that are so hard. They make me sore and take the fun out of lounging around camp.

+1 It looks like the Mother of All Suppositories to me. :-(

"It looks like the Mother of All Suppositories to me."

I've been told more than once that I'm the mother of all suppositories. Nice to know I have competition…..

"Nice to know I have competition….."

May the best, uh never mind…

your Swiss friend doesn't mind?

"your Swiss friend doesn't mind?"

Nah. We have a ball together….

Now that's funny Doug!

On this new bear cannister?

Sadly, no news as of yet.

My guess is that they are simply waiting for an approval of their canister.

Hope it happens soon….I would like to use this on my JMT hike in August.

While I dont know this for sure, I suspect the reason its egg shaped is so it can be vacuum formed. You have to have enough angle for the plastic to release from the mold. You can not make 90 degree corners very well, and certainly not deep pulls with 90 degree corners.

I think I have posted this before, but from my email exchange with these guys they were talking july or so before this was available.

Too late for my needs, wish it werent true however, now I have to buy carbon fiber and sell my first born son

(anyone want a 13 year old, who doesnt eat much, but doesnt work much either?)

Just saw this thread. Yep Greg we were heading to Paradise.

How is this canister coming along?

per the website. I wished that they had gotten it together sooner. Anyway, no news on their website – http://www.camp4outdoors.com/products.html

Never gonna happen I'm guessing…

With the recent new canister also being developed I wonder about this one. Any life left in this project? How will new canister entries be tested and certified?

Ken, what new canister? Is there another one recently released? Thanks.
