Bearikades are an investment and if I ever should not need them any longer, I can sell them on ebay for 80% of new price.
While there is huge turnover in used bear cans on ebay - each season's Muir Trail prospects seems to buy a can to hike one trip and then sells them again - you rarely see Bearikades offered. They are mostly bought by regulars who don't let them go. They are that good. Hard to improve. Everything else in my gear closet keeps changing and costing me money every year or two, while I don't spend another thought on bear cans.
