Bear canisters comparison REI Traverse and Bearvault BV500
In this video I do a comparison of the REI Traverse and Bearvault BV500 bear canisters. I have an upcoming Pemi Loop and need to bring a bear canister. I already own the BV500 but it seemed a little bulky for a 3.5 day trip. So I was exploring options and picked up the Traverse as I feel it will be a better option for me, and wanted to show the differences between these two popular bear canisters in case one is a better choice for you.
