The Traverse Modular Bear Canister is your ultimate solution for bear proof storage while hiking. This lightweight bear canister for hiking adapts easily to the length of your trip, allowing you to configure it as a 11.25L or a 6.75L container. Its innovative design means that as you empty it, the sections can nest together, making it compact and easy to pack.
Equipped with a unique 2-step closure system, this bear canister keeps your food safe from curious wildlife. It requires no tools for operation, and audible clicks indicate when the lid is securely locked. For easy access, simply press the tab marked ‘1’, rotate the lid to the stop at ‘2’, and continue unscrewing to open. Translucent materials let you see what’s inside, while the scalloped lid design provides a comfortable grip for you.
This canister doubles as a stool when you reach your campsite, and its certified bear resistant food storage meets the standards set by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee. We recommend checking with local land management agencies for up-to-date lists of accepted canisters. The package includes a carry bag made from 100% recycled ripstop nylon, weighing just 3.2 oz. It features a non-fluorinated DWR to repel moisture, ensuring your gear stays dry. Reflective trim helps you locate it easily at night.

I’ve tried several bear canisters, but this one is the best. The 2-step closure is genius and works flawlessly. Definitely worth the investment for all backpacking trips.
