Use almost any key knife or multi tool to open the three latch snap lock lid. Opens easily with most any key knife blade or screwdriver.

There are three latches each with a label and an arrow to clearly indicate unlocked locked status of each. I found the latches to operate smoother than the garcia s i have had experience with. If you answered yes to two or more of these the bare boxer contender is a solid choice. Garcia type models the bareboxer is basically another garcia clone only smaller.

Size weight and price but to be fair the garcia is really meant for large groups. Hope this helps someone else looking at containers. Easy for you to open impossible for the bear. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users.

275 cubic inches will fit 2 days of food or even 3 if you pack very carefully with as little packaging as possible.
