- Transparent body lets you quickly spot your snacks, while the wide opening ensures easy access.
- Secure screw-on lid closes with just two clicks—no tools or overtightening required.
- Certified bear resistant by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee, approved for use in most wilderness areas.
- Bonus: doubles as a camp stool for added convenience at camp.
