And today when I called to order and spoke to the owner, he said please let your friends know that you can return custom orders in new, "ready for sale" condition. So.. we could have ordered the 16" can, and test packed over a year ago without risk! I suggested he update his website to reflect this policy, since the stated policy seemed so clear and restrictive. He's gonna talk to his website guy...

So.. if any of you were thinking about getting a custom Bearikade, but were concerned about fitting it, give them a call!
Wild-Ideas Berikade Custom Orders
*We sold our original Garcia ages ago, and we loved our Ursacks until they were no longer approved (we never had a problem with them). I detest our BearVault Solo. Between the threads getting difficult to turn (food grade silicone lubricant might help, blah blah) and the little tab that's hard for me to push in, where I've sat and almost cried because on a solo trip I couldn't get into the darned thing until it warmed up enough... and I was hungry... I just don't want to deal with it. I've been carrying it when we needed more space, but I have had Basilbop manipulate it. Now, if we need the space, we'll have the Weekender and the 16"er. Yay.
