Don't want to highjack this thread or anything... but I just want to steer back to the original question... I am going on a canoe/camp trip with three friends this summer. The four of us will be staying at Algonquin for four, or very likely 5 days. Would you recommend the 60L or 30L food barrel? Our clothes, tent, and sleeping bags will be in dry bags in our packs. The food barrel will be just for food, and possibly small items like bug spray. We will not being taking along a stove. So, for four teens for for 5 days, a 60 L or 30L?

I'd go with the 60l, better too much room than not enough.
Algonquin is notorious for bear issues. Stash your food barrel away from camp, away from obvious animal trails or hang outside camp.

Blue barrels are NOT bear proof, a point I'm assuming you already know ;)
