I have an older model BearVault Solo I am taking on my Mt. Whitney
expedition next week. I think it is okay and approved for the trail.
I notice I must be getting weaker because I had trouble opening the lid as I
was preparing my pack this week. So, I just went out to the garage and took
a chisel and hammer and applied some friendly persuasion to the lid notch.
Now it opens easily. But you still have to apply some pressure to the lid
notch to unscrew it. So, I think a bear still would have trouble getting into
it. I did not know if others might have had that problem too.
