Bear Canisters are pretty tasty

They are marketed as bear resistant.

It would be hard on them if they were in the ocean.  Subjected to sun so they would get UV damage.  Many strikes against rocks.  Hard to compare with what a bear would do.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more furry and less UV intensive.

Thanks. I’ll definitely not use them to build a raft…

what you really gotta watch out for are the mini sharks.

They discovered a mini shark that figured out how to open a bear canister with its fin. Grey grey, I believe, is the shark’s name. True story.

They are marketed as bear resistant.

And bears certainly have a lot of time on their paws.

Now all you Ursack aficianados imagine how many of those sacks you would find in Grey grey’s stomach if that monster were ever to be captured!

The Kevlar is non digestible. Wait and you can get it back.

Fill it with Taco Bell and your wait is shorter.

here’s another:

Yeah, but that one looks like polyethylene, not polycarbonate, so probably not an actual bear canister.

My dog could have done that.

Good one Jerry.

I’d like to know how two hikers lost their expensive bear canisters, presumable falling into a river and being washed out to sea. Or maybe they were camping on the coast and stored their canisters below the high tide line?

^^
No they were surfing.

Read the thread again. ;)

Seals, maybe?

Perhaps GIANT sea otters, whacking these with rocks while floating along on their backs? It might take all day but would make a great ad for Mountain House.

I’d like to know how three people lost their canisters in the surf : )

One canister?  Okay, you always find strange stuff in the ocean.  Three?  Weird???

So that’s where they all wind up eventually. 

I’m completely baffled by this post… Dan, can you provide maybe a bit of context?

Surfing the net

I thought someone may have had a story to tell of their canister being torn apart.

Let this thread go. I’m finished ;-)

@idester did have a true story about Grey grey….or at least so he claimed….
