The lid for my canister is stuck, it won't turn at all. Can someone please offer advice?

Previous advice should be good to get it open. I recommend looking at the male threads, on the canister body not the lid, when you have it open. The seam where the two halves of the canister are molded together can be pronounced and I found scrapping it down with a knife so that it doesn't interfere with the lid helped tremendously.

Why don't you ship to Alaska? We have 98% of the brown bears and 70% of the black bears in the US... and you don't ship to Alaska!

We do ship to Alaska, please purchase the item through out web site for shipping to Ak.http://www.omcgear.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=bear+vault-BennettOMC Customer Service

can the bears smell food through the can?

Yes, bears can smell through the canister. These are not air tight. Place this far away from where you are sleeping. I believe the manufacturer provides a recommended distance. Also bears can smell you. Dont worry black bears are not aggressive. The point of the can is to prevent bears from eating human food and developong an association between food and humans. You are not in any danger unless you are camping near grizzly bears. Grizzly Bears will kill you just for fun regardless of if you have food with you or not. Be
