For the Lighter1:


I did ask Lighter1 about using their pan as a fry pan, but they never replied. It is possible you will warp the pan using it this way, but it doesn't seem like a huge risk to me since the pan is made out of fairly metal. Other issues are the steep side might make it difficult to use a spatula and sticking/cleaning since it is nonstick. I did plan to try mine as a frying pan, but the recent trips I have been on haven't lent themselves to that.

The Lil Sammi is a real nice size for a weekend trip and a much better form factor than the BearVault. I think the way they report weights on there website is a bit deceptive. Even at its actual weights it is a pretty good bear cannister.

Here the stats for my Lil Sammi:

canister = 20.85 oz
cap/pot = 6.40 oz
handle = 0.90 oz

total bear canister = 28.20 oz

pot lid = 2.20 oz
