Bear Can Key from CTUG

Do you find that your BearVault can be tricky to open when your fingers are cold in the morning? Perhaps you have arthritis in your hands or want to protect longer fingernails?

Our friends over at Chicken Tramper Ultralight Gear have designed a “Bear Can Key”  that makes it effortless to access the food and scented items stored inside your BearVault while still keeping bears locked out.

This carbon fiber nylon device slips over the blue stopper on your BearVault and allows the black nubs to pass under the Bear Can Key without having to use your fingers to press the nubs in as you spin the lid. Plus, the device only weighs a stunning 2.17 grams!

You can attach the bear canister key to the lid of your Bear Canister with a strong adhesive for easy access, or loop a small piece of provided cord through the tool to keep it accessible.

Whether you find canisters challenging to open or just want the greatest micro-luxury item on the trail, the Bear Can Key is a great upgrade for your BearVault!
