Hi Nancy, Excellent Owner Review. Edits in the standard EDIT/Edit/Comment format; most are suggested explanatory notes. After revising you may upload to http://tinyurl.com/j5879u5 Another Brownie Point for you. Cheers, Richard ____________________________________________________ ### Manufacturer: Wild Ideas ### EDIT: Wild Ideas, LLC [Need the full legal name here.] ### MSRP: $288 US ### Comment: Ouch! ### Listed Weight: Just over 31 oz (.88 kg) Measured Weight: 31.4 oz (.89 kg) ### EDIT: 0.88 kg and 0.89 kg [Too easy to miss that little period. You might use gram measurements instead.] ### Each fastener also has an O-ring to seal them. ### Edit: to seal it ["fastener" is singular] ### With plans in 2013 to hike the John Muir Trail for three weeks, we needed another bear canister ### Edit: my husband and I needed [There's no antecedent for "we" until much later in the paragraph. Much clearer if the team is identified up front.] ### We have since then used the Bearikade for every trip requiring bear canisters. ### Edit/Comment: While it's obvious to anyone who regularly hikes in the Sierra, many of our readers may not be familiar with USFS/NPS regulations requiring bearproof containers. An explanatory sentence or two would help.] ### One benefit of using a bear canister is that it keeps crushable items like corn chips or crackers from being crushed in my pack. ### Comment: Hikers after my own heart – not everybody recognizes this essential food group. ### I have used the Bearikade with several backpacks but mostly with a Granite Gear Crown V.C. 60 and a Gossamer Gear Gorilla. ### Edit/Comment: Was either of these packs designed specially to accommodate a bearproof container? I know that Granite Gear does (or used to) make some such packs. Might be worth a comment whether the answer is yes or no.
