I use the hotel cost savings rational every time I buy some new lightweight
clothing or camping item. I always say it costs less then a couple of nights in a
hotel. That's why we own 3 Bearikade canisters. They are a great buy when you
consider how many years they will last. In they last 16 years we have spent
at least 5 nights in the backcountry for every night we spent in a hotel.
