This Bear Canister Failed Our Yosemite Test | Here's Why

We bought an adjustable-size bear canister with high hopes and dreams of carrying less weight and bulk for our backpacking trip. It's a novel idea. Lightweight, adjustable, only use the space you actually need. But our hopes and dreams were soon crushed! We didn't get very far with this convenient bear canister.

Our trip nearly didn't happen at all -- it was nearly over before it began. If you hate lugging around heavy and bulky bear canisters this one may appear to be a perfect fit. But looks can be deceiving! It's always the pretty ones that crush your dreams!

DO NOT venture out into the wilderness until you watch this full video! It may save you a lot of hassles -- and may even save your life!
