Product Description

Item No.   10322520

The BearVault Model BV 500 Food Canister is a large container for keeping your food out of the bear's hands. Bigger in size than the 450, this polycarbonate cylinder secures a 7 day food capacity. Fill it up with all your yummy favorites, close up the lid and it will just become a little toy for the local grizzly or black bear to bat around on the ground. I'm sure it will get discouraged and amble off eventually. The bear, not the canister. Once it's safe, grab your stash and have yourself a meal.

FEATURES of the BearVault Model BV 500 Food Canister

  • Approved for grizzly and black bear protection
  • Large capacity gives you the space you need
  • Extra wide, rain proof opening provides full access for loading, unloading and finding items
  • Innovative and patented design allows you to open and close the lid without using tools
  • Rugged, transparent, polycarbonate housing resists impacts without shattering
  • Built in guides keep tie down straps in place so extra carrying case isn't needed to attach to backpack
  • 700 cubic inches (about 7 days of food)

Product Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Well So Far! Haven't tested it out "in the wild" for the specific trip it was purchased for, so I can't say how it stands up to multiple days of backpacking/camping in a row. However, for trial runs it fits 2 peoples' worth of food for a shorter trip and fits in the backpack. Sure, it takes up a lot of room, but that's unavoidable. It's easy enough to open up once you try the motion a couple of times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Strong and realiable Purchased the product a few weeks ago and have been working on packing as much into it as possible. Great product and looking forward to using it on the trail for a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doubles as a seat. I did a multiple day backpacking trip in Shenandoah. Legally I didn’t need a bear canister but it fit well in my pack and doubled as a chair when needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Work as intended This is a pretty awesome bear vault. I finally pulled the trigger as I got tired of always burrowing one from a friend. This is perfect for me and the wife when we go up into the sierras for a long weekend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Large opening, clear plastic and screw cap The large opening and see through plastic makes it easier to see specific items and get them out. The screw on top keep water out as long as it is upright when at camp. It also makes a good bench. I purchased this for kayaking the inside passage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels indestructible This model's large size makes it super versatile for any kind of camping situation. It's also not too large that you can't take it backpacking
Date published: 2022-12-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use So much easier to open than my previous bear can. Also love that it’s transparent so you can see where your items are inside, and it can be used as a stool or small table.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great deal Haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, but the product is as expected. Got a great deal thanks to Moosejaw. Allegedly, not recommended for use in the Adirondacks in NY.

I haven’t used this specific model, so I don’t wish to review this product; however, I have used ones that visually look identical and have witnessed a black bear tear the lid off at its weakest spot.  So my question is how does this lid fix to the can?

Asked by: Adk hiker
Hey there Adk Hiker, thanks for the question! This features threading around the rim and has a stopper similar to a child-lock to keep it in place. I hope this helps!
