🐻 NEW ITEM ALERT! 🐻

BearVault canisters are now at SOS Gear!

But why use a bear canister?

🐻 Keep wildlife away from your food — BearVault canisters provide a secure, hard-sided container that helps prevent bears and other animals from accessing your food.

🥾 Protect your food supply — Keep your meals and snacks safely contained throughout your backcountry adventure.

🌲 Help reduce human-wildlife conflicts — Proper food storage helps prevent wildlife from associating people and campsites with food.

Planning a camping or backpacking adventure? Stop by SOS Gear and check out our new BearVault canisters! 🏕️🐻

Store your food. Protect wildlife. Enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
