  • Bear Canister - Rental

    Bear Canisters are required for backpacking in the wilderness areas of Sequoia Kings Canyon National Parks and Yosemite National Park. They are also highly recommended in the Inyo National Forest, especially on Mount Whitney, since there are no suitable trees for hanging food in the High Sierra. 

    We rent all bear cans for just $3 per day regardless of size.

    Our rentals are a selection of large, medium, and small bear can options. The large options are the Bear Vault BV500 (largest) and Backpackers' Cache Bear Canisters ("Garcia"). The medium options is the Bear Vault BV450. The small option is the Bear Vault BV425.

    The BV500 and Backpackers' Cache models are good for trips that last from 4-7 days (or a weekend for 2-3 people), the BV425 is great for a quick weekend get away. The BV450 is in between.

    Not sure which size to get? Ask our knowledgeable staff when you pick you bear canister up in the store.

    Please note that all our rentals are for pick up in store only. We will not ship rental items.
