Hello

I saw a barrel on Craigslist and thought I would pass the link along. No affiliation.

Bear barrel on Craigslist

"Bear proof, airtight, waterproof barrel, drum perfect for the BWCA canoe trips."
Hopefully they didn't actually think it was "bear proof."

Probably meant "mini-bear proof".

Bear resistant yes, bear proof, no. I have seen a car made into a hatchback by a bear and they are stronger than a barrel. That being said, I use the barrels all the time, mostly to keep all the small critters (rodents mostly) out of my food.
