Bear Canister

Garcia Machine has pioneered the development of bear resistant food containers. Since 1982 they have worked with wildlife specialists to develop lightweight, very durable bear-proof food containers that campers can count on to keep their food safe from wild animals. Documented studies have shown that the use of these containers has drastically reduced the seriousness and frequency of camper/bear incidents. These bear resistant food containers are used by Kluane, Denali, Glacier Bay and Yosemite National Parks.

The Model 812 Garcia Backpackers’ Cache™ bear canister keeps your food and the bears safe. Keeping your precious food supply from wild animals in a backpacking bear canister is crucial for an enjoyable and safe outdoor experience. Allowing bears access to human food can lead to dangerous, conditioned behavior. A nylon carrying case and liner bags are sold separately as accessories.
