The Counter Assault Bear Keg is a hard-sided, bear-resistant food container built for backpackers and backcountry campers who need to store provisions in active bear territory. It holds 716 cubic inches of food, roughly 11.7 liters or about three gallons, which covers 3-plus days of food for two people or six to eight days for an individual. Made in the USA from a tough polymer blend, the keg is approved for all U.S. National Parks and meets U.S. Forest Service specifications. If you're heading into grizzly, brown, or black bear country, this is purpose-built gear from the same brand behind our bear deterrent lineup.
The keg is built around a proprietary, BPA-free polymer that has been tested against live captive bears and rated to 250 pounds of penetrometer force resistance. Three stainless steel locks secure the lid and open with a coin or the flat of a screwdriver, so there are no fiddly latches to fail in the cold. The container measures about 9 inches in diameter and 13.75 inches tall, with a wide opening that makes loading bulky food bags straightforward. The bright yellow shell carries reflective tape for easy spotting at a distance or in low light. The domed lid is rigid enough to double as a camp stool. At roughly 3.1 pounds empty, it stays manageable inside a loaded pack.
Use the Bear Keg anywhere food storage rules require a certified container, including national parks and Forest Service backcountry zones. Stage your food, scented toiletries, and trash inside, lock the lid, and set it well away from your tent overnight. It pairs naturally with a canister of bear spray for layered protection when you're deep in remote terrain. Whether you're thru-hiking, car-camping at a trailhead, or running a multi-day route, the keg keeps your provisions secure and your camp clean.

Yes. The domed lid is rigid enough to support sitting weight, so the keg doubles as a low camp stool once it is locked and set on level ground. Its bright yellow shell with reflective tape also makes it easy to locate at a distance or in low light.
