Bear Barrels!
Try saying that seven times in a row...fast.

The helicopter has just dropped off your food supplies. The next scheduled supply trip is 10 days away. It costs around $1,000 per hour to run the helicopter. You do not want to have to pay for any unnecessary flights. How do you ensure that your food doesn't feed any of the wildlife? Bear Barrels!

These nifty little cylinders are designed without any protuberances, thus leaving the bear with nothing on which to grab on to; even the screw heads are recessed into the cylinder. The most the bear can do is bat it around. So until bears start carrying coins around with them in their pockets, these bear barrels will allow campers some peace of mind when it comes to dinner time.
