You were warned.
I love my Bearikade
Of the lightest and strongest materials it is made
The Garcia is heavy and scrapes my hand
When into its dark depths I grope blindly for foods both flavorful and bland
The Bear Vault is a little lighter
Than the Garcia, but it’s a fighter
Try opening the lid when it is really cold
Pushing, pulling, jabbing with a spoon, whatever … it gets really old
Yeah, the Bearikade costs an awful lot
But it will lighten your load, up mountains you’ll trot
Happy in the knowledge that your food is safe and sound
And that your pack is lighter by maybe half a pound
Now this inartful poem must come to an end
To pleasant dreams of the JMT, I now my mind will send.
Most excellent sir, you leave me second guessing my purchase.
