Two things:

1. The BearVault BV500 is 15% larger than the Garcia
2. The BV450/500 are fully approved; the Yosemite web site is out of date.

Correction.  The current Bear Vault models (450 and 500) are on the
"Conditionally Allowed" list in Yosemite.

  I'm looking at the Bear Vault.  Comes in two sizes.
http://www.bearvault.com/

  It's on the Yosemite NP approved list.

    Camp near and utilize food storage lockers ("bear boxes") the first few
nights in Seki...
