I live in the blue ridge mountains of sw Virginia. Living here all my life, bears and other wildlife are apart of mountain life. In the last 3 years I have tried everything to protect our trash cans at our home. Straps, covers, enclosures, you name it, I have tried it. A couple weeks ago my wife sent me a link to the Bearicuda web site. I watched the video of the grizzly trying to get into the can with no success and was sold. I purchased 2 bearicuda stealth trash cans and they arrived last week. Excited and still a bit skeptical, I was hoping the bear would give them a good test. I woke up this am and saw both cans on the ground, teeth marks, claw marks, but as advertised the bear could not get in. I have enclosed some pictures that I captured of our friend trying to get in. Congrats on making an incredible product! I will be recommending you to all of my neighbors! KC G. My neighbors purchased one of your Razorback Metal Enclosures, absolutely beautiful bear proof enclosures, I wish I could afford one! Thanks for making a great product and your customer service is much appreciated, as I could always get a hold of someone 7 days a week.

Bearicuda.com bear proof cans work great. I thought this Grizzley would go right thru this can, I really thought I was taking my chances when I purchased it but what am I supposed to do, constantly pick up trash all over my yard? Well I watched this bear jump, sniff, snoop and wrestle with the Bearicuda can for 2 hours. I was eating my grilled cheese with chips as I watched him finally walk away from the bearicuda bear proof can. B Redick Chet CP, Golden CO Posted December 14th, 2010.

We have a 5 bedroom 5 and half bath home in the mountains of Western NC in the beautiful community of Cashiers. A house that size generates a lot of trash and our close proximity to a Federal Preserve where the bears are plentiful and protected, means we get lots of encounters with the bears seeking food in our Trash containers. The bears have become so accustomed to rummaging through our garbage they no longer seek food from nature. This is unhealthy for the bears and creates a situation where the bears see “us” as their food source. They no longer run when you make loud noises, sound a horn, or even fire a gun in the air. They just walk to the garbage and see what’s on the menu for the day. After countless hours of picking up garbage up and down the mountain strewn about by the bears and raccoons, we decided to by a Bearicuda 95 gallon bear resistent container. Upon arrival I chained the container securely to a tree so the bears would drag it off into the woods. We have not had one instance of the bears getting into the Bearicuda. We do have scratches, bite marks and muddy claw prints all over it where they’ve tried over and over again to gain access. But so far they’ve had to move on elsewhere to get their food. I’m thinking that soon we will be dropped from the bears “route” for food. Thus I’m not picking up garbage everyday any longer. Thank you Bearicuda for making a product the functions exactly as advertised. Also your speedy delivery was greatly appreciated. By the way, thank you Kevin for spending so much time with me over the phone selecting the right can, I must have drove you nuts! We will be telling all of our neighbors about your product.
