I still need to get some reflective decals and find some others sitting around here someplace but marks can was inspirational. :D

Gary...et al,
All I did was drop a short e-mail to all the top product vendors that I use (Gregory, Vasque, Western Mountaineering, MSR, etc), mention the famous HST forum, and asked them for any possible gear stickers that they might have lying around for my Bearikade.
So far everybody seems to know us (maybe they know Eric), and just sends me them along free...and yes , I do have a great can too.

Is that a canister or one of those bottled water bottles that goes in the water dispenser? Foul!
Piece of cake.

I had my wife pick it up for me at REI on her way home from work and thats what she said. When I pulled it out of the box she just stood there for a second then said " I just paid $70 for a D##n Sparkletts Jug" :-k

but that would not be SIBBG approved and have a slightly narrower mouth :D

I would have one of those BV500 jugs for sale, if anyone wants to carry it. Used once, still a PITA to open. Need to get me two more Bearikades for this summer, but I'm holding out for a bit because I'd rather get two Ursacks


"March 5, 2009
There has been some movement in Ursack's lawsuit against federal officials. The parties and their lawyers met in San Francisco on February 27, 2009. Some progress was made, but at this time there is no determination if Ursack will be approved for use in Yosemite National Park, Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks, or Inyo National Forest in 2009. All parties are continuing to work toward a prompt resolution. Updates will be posted here as appropriate. "
