I'll tell that I went from a rented Garcia heavy plastic bear cannister to a Bearikde composite material. At least 3 lbs in weight reduction with the same volume.My only problem with a bear cannister is where to strap it down on my new smaller light weight pack.It don't fit inside and they tend to roll off even when strapped down.I guess I need a good Navy man to teach me how to tie some knotts.I just might get that Navy man to carry it for me cuz he and Laura know no pain when it comes to epic hikes.
