Easy to use screw fasteners. Bright yellow so easy to see and find if it was moved overnight. It is just the right size for my 80L winter pack but may be too big for smaller than 60L packs. I'm happy with it and recommend it! Review: Heavy but well accepted and works. - Like all gear, there is the fight between weight, cost and efficacy. pick 2. If you can take the hit on weight this is the best can. I did a fairly comprehensive search and could not find a trail or park that didn’t accept this model. If there is an accepted list, it’s on the list. If there is a ‘NO’ list, it’s not on there. Even the carbon fiber models have anecdotes of failure but I couldn’t find a single one for this can. Everyone knows the stories of bag failure and the problems with BV on the at and elsewhere. As for size, there are two larger canisters both made by wild ideas. I have rented the expedition and it is a fantastic can. At 6 times the price it should be. The WI also isn’t specifically listed as approved on all the park lists. I imagine a ranger would be ok with it but I dont want that hassle. Price is right. Same cost as a bv 500 and a fraction of the wild ideas. It fit in my gossamer gear mariposa but was a little awkward. Fits fine in my osprey rook. Enough room for 4-5 days/two people if you pack it correctly. Last trip we (2) had 3.5 days and 1.5ltr of vodka in here no problem. So if you have money to burn, save a pound in your pack and get carbon fiber. For the rest of us this is the can. ## Features - Protects your food and protects the bears - Mandatory in many National Parks - 716 cubic inches of storage - Approved by the IGBC and the SIBBG - Durable and easy to carry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009PZW7C | | Best Sellers Rank | #143,489 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #50 in Camping Bear Protection Products | | Brand Name | Counter Assault | | Container Shape | Cylindrical | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (158) | | Date First Available | May 19, 2004 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00722031418110 | | Included Components | Counter Assault Bear Keg Bear Resistant Food Container | | Is Dishwasher Safe | No | | Is Microwaveable | Yes | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 9.5 x 9.5 x 14.13 inches | | Item Form | cylindrical | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 13.6 x 9 x 8.75 inches | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Volume | 3 Gallons | | Item Weight | 3.5 Pounds | | Lid Material | Proprietary polymer blend | | Manufacturer | Tender Corporation | | Material Type Free | Phthalate Free | | Model Name | BK-914 | | Model Year | 2018 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Sets | 1 | | Package Weight | 1.72 Kilograms | | Part Number | BK-914 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only, Not Microwave Safe | | Product Dimensions | 9.5"L x 9.5"W x 14.12"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bear-resistant food storage | | Size | 716 Cubic Inch | | Special Feature | Durable | | Specific Uses For Product | Bear-resistant food storage | | Sport Type | Camping & Hiking, Outdoor Lifestyle | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | UPC | 722031418110 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Counter Assault - **Capacity:** 716 Cubic Inches - **Color:** Yellow - **Material:** proprietary polymer blend - **Material Feature:** Durable, Lightweight ## Images ![Bear Keg Food Storage Container Yellow - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P2l18hY4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bear Barrel *by S***W on January 1, 2025* Very sturdy, durable product.

The top of the keg opens up with a coin or screwdriver, which was fairly easy to use for someone with opposable thumbs but seems like it would be impossible for a bear to open if he got ahold of it. We didn't encounter any bears on our overnight trek to Timber Lake, but the NPS staff required us to prove we had a bear canister in order to get the backcountry permit. (The NPS apparently rents them as well.) When we showed them, they were completely satisfied with our "Bear Keg" as it was on their list of approved canisters. About 2 miles up the trail, we encountered a park ranger coming back down and the first thing he asked was to see our bear container. So it's a good thing we had it. My husband carried the Bear Keg in his already full backpack with all the food and the campstove stowed inside the keg. The extra 4 pounds of the Bear Keg and carrying case resulted in a heavy pack for him, poor guy. In hindsight, I think I would prefer a smaller, lighter bear canister. This 11 Liters canister is a bit overkill for an overnight trip with 3 people. For a multiday trip we would have needed something this big though. At night we put the Bear Keg across the creek from our campground, about 75 yards away, where we could still see it (the bright yellow color helps) but we were far enough away in case it did attract a bear. So if you don't mind the weight and bulk, this thing seems bullet proof AND bear proof. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/25818579-bear-keg-food-storage-container-yellow](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/25818579-bear-keg-food-storage-container-yellow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
