Bear Canisters Available to TRTA Members |
|
 Game Tech International, Inc. Donates Bear Canisters to the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, For Public Use
Bear canisters are available for free rental to any TRTA member.
Bear canisters are an easy and effective way to protect your food supply and help prevent bear problems in the backcountry. The TRTA strongly advises all backpackers to carry and use bear-resistant food storage canisters instead of other less effective methods such as hanging food. Proper precautions with bears keep the bear’s wild and neither attracted to nor dependent upon people for food. This helps eliminate bear-human conflict and protects personal property, food, and the bears. In addition to food, bears are also attracted to anything with an odor including sunscreen, insect repellent, soap, and toothpaste. These items can also be stored inside a bear canister. The TRTA BearVault™ canisters are light weight (2lbs, 9oz), 7 day capacity, super rugged transparent Polycarbonate housing which resists impacts and have built in tie down straps.
The TRTA’s bear canisters are available for free rental to any TRTA member. If you are not a TRTA member, it’s worth the small membership fee given that purchasing an approved bear canister can cost upwards of $80. To reserve a bear canister for your next trip, or for more information, please call the TRTA office at (775) 298-0012. Bear canisters are first-come, first-serve based on availability. Rental applications will be taken with a valid credit card number to ensure the canister’s return. |
