I looked at all the on-line ads and reviews and the photos on the blue barrels, the bearikade, the ursack, and the bear vault.  I think I'm going to get me a bear vault.  And stay away from those really smart bears in New York.  The bear vault is significantly cheaper than the bearikade.  The size of the bear vault is big enough to last a person quite a while if you are strictly oatmeal and freeze dry.  If you are going to bring mustard jars and apples--well, I recommend a camper and a drive-in campground.
  One of the advantages of the blue barrels is that if you use it to ice down your beer at a party back at home, the color will match the new blue labels on the Coors bottles.
