BearVault Failure. Carried away by bear and chewed. Just got back from ADK. Last year BearVault did ok. This year nothing was mentioned on DEC website but a serious problem has developed. The picture says it all
Won’t keep bears out and not allowed in the Adirondacks Purchased this product with the intention of using in the Adirondack mountains where bear barrels are required. The reviews seemed positive, however, when I showed up on the first day, the Adirondack Loj had a nice display at the front door of the information center with this barrel and it’s larger model torn open by bears (see attached pictures). The “convenient” groove around the lid for a rope makes it very easy for a bear to slip its claws in and remove. In fact, two different people at the info desk and a ranger on the trail said this model was also so thin that bears had been known to chew a hole in the bottom.
I Hate Bear Canisters Everybody hates bear canisters. I hate packing them, I hate carrying them–well, you get the idea. But my wife and I do a lot of backpacking in the Sierras, where the rangers say you gotta have them. So, we’ve got one apiece.
