Well, it doesn't have my monogram or family coat of arms, if that's your question
Actually, it's the regular barrel with a latched lid that requires an extra hand to open. The mechanical arm that lifts and inverts the barrel into the truck activates the latch, so it's pretty automatic as far as the pickup is concerned.
Until evolution (or maybe that's intelligent design) provides bears with opposable thumbs I think we'll be OK. Of course the bears in my neighborhood are smarter than average, so I could be wrong.

Hold it. I thought we were talking garbage cans, not pickinic baskets.
Government of any size likes to spend your money. My burg has authorized a new bait shack design for $47,000, construction is expected to cost $865,000. Of course, it will now include a "covered pavilion". I guess our fishermen can't stand the weather (Any excuse to cue SRV).
I think Head On, apply directly to the forehead, Head On, apply directly to the forehead, Head On, apply directly to the forehead should be on this list.
I was reminded tonight why the government gas can is the most despicable product of all time.
While I had successfully modified my old and new costco gas cans to deal with the spring loaded pour preventing device.
I had forgot to remove the plastic screen thingy hanging down inside the can from the new one.
Regarding the poster that responded to my initial post about how the cans are not a problem for them, I can guarantee they do not live in California.
The combination of the govt. gas can design and the CA govt. gas pump design makes it impossible to put gas in the can without spilling it all over.
With the plastic screen in place, you cannot insert the pump nozzle all the way into the can. This means the fume prevention device on the pump will not engage. So you have to fool it by pushing up with your other hand. Then, unless you barely turn the pump on, the gas will essentially bounce off the screen and back onto your hand, the ground, etc.
Have to finish the mods on that can when I get back from camping.
