pretty light, but with a 2.5 lb bear canister (required), 8 days of food, 4-ish lbs of water- pack was pushing 35+ lbs, at least for the first few days anyways
Mt, Any recommendations for a bear cannister? Bears aren't a big problem and it's not required but I'm thinking about hiking in to make a food stash pre-season.
So I'd be looking for the lightest possible. Thanks in advance.
I used a Bearvault 500- it holds a weeks worth of food w/ a little finagling. It weighs 2.5 lbs. Bearikade makes a carbon fiber one (Blazer) at roughly the same volume (700-ish cubic inches) and weighs 2 lbs even.
The Blazer is $350 vs $85 for the BearVault, not sure that's worth the price difference.
They both come in various sizes too, so you can pick the right one for the amount of food you want to haul.
