You can get them online at http://www.sierrawilderness.com/store.html#Bear
Canisters

They sell both the plastic and the aluminum canisters.

One nice thing about the aluminim, is they offer a larger can that  weighs
the same as the Garcia (2 LB 12 OZ) , but holds over 800 cu in instead of
the 600 that the Garcia holds. The 600 cu.in. aluminum can weighs 2 LB 3
OZ, over half a pound less than the Garcia.
