[pct-l] Testing of Bear Cannisters / URSACK

Has anyone figured out how Y-Y does get the BVs open?  I just bought one (for the Sierras) and just curious.

  "The bear canister that was defeated by Yellow-Yellow was a Bear Vault. The 
  Bear Vault can be compressed by squeezing the sides and popping the top off. 
  The Garcia cannot be compressed. It's sides are more rigid and it is shaped 
  with a wider middle with a ridge. Good engineering!"
  =======================================
  WHILE it is true that the bear can was a Bear Vault, the models on the market
  CANNOT be opened by compression.  Older models could be.  Yellow-Yellow uses a
  totally different technique.
