Bear Canister FAQ

How do I open and close BearVault canisters?

Twist the lid counterclockwise until the black nub hits the blue stopper, then press the nub inward to unlock. To close, twist clockwise until the nubs click past the stopper. Don’t over-tighten.

Should I fully tighten the lid?

No. Just twist until the nubs click past the stopper. Overtightening will make opening harder, especially in cold or wet conditions.

Why does my lid feel sticky or hard to open?

Temperature, moisture, dirt, or grime can affect the canister. Clean threads with mild soap and a toothbrush, and consider food-safe silicone lubricant if needed.

How do I pack my BearVault in my backpack efficiently?
  • Pack close to your back for balance.
  • Horizontally placed works best for stability; vertical placement may work depending on pack design.
  • Strapping a canister on the top of a pack is not ideal, but it can work.
  • Organize lighter items around the canister or inside to maximize space.

Where should I store the canister at camp?

Place on flat ground, at least 70 big steps (200ft) from your tent. Avoid cliffs or wedged positions. Never store inside your tent.
