★★★★★ Best Portable Dog Bowl!
"We had to buy another Bear Bowl because we discovered on a hike what a terrific dog bowl it is. Our large dog usually knocks all the water out of his. The Bear Bowl fits much more compact in my cargo pocket and doesn't collapse or move around. Have you thought of marketing it as a dog bowl?"-Wendy Smith
★★★★★"You should market this also as a portable dog dish! It is way better than what's on the market. It's easier to carry and not flimsy at all. The hard base makes it stable and holds water much better-Bernadette
★★★★★"I agree. It has been a great portable dog bowl. We also had to buy more because we needed one in our bug out bag, car, and survival kit."-Janet Morehead

★★★★★ Backcountry snowmobilers all must have a Bear Bowl for survival!
As backcountry snowmobilers, one of the issues we have is carrying what we need in our small backpack or bag on the sled--space and weight are at a premium. The other main issue we have to think about is surviving should we encounter a breakdown while in the bush. In the winter, snow is easy to come by, but water is much more difficult--not to mention, if you eat snow, you can lower your core temp and it actually takes more energy out of you to process it!
This is where Bear Bowls shine. The bowl is easy to carry, fits anywhere, is lightweight, and most of all, will give us life sustaining water/soup/tea/etc. when we are in a survival situation. Heck, we use it anytime a fire is going, but for us, having a Bear Bowl is a must! -Mark

★★★★★ Great innovation in backpacking gear.
In the original offering I purchased 2 of these since they were such a great price. I used them the first time out on a extended day trip, we brought the bear bowels to make lunch. They work incredibly! The Bear bowels heat very quickly bringing the water to a nice rolling boil in minutes using an alcohol stove. Clean up and getting ready to move on was so simple. closing the bowel up and moving on was fast and easy. What a great innovation in backpacking gear. I did add a piece of tinfoil as a lid to help hold in heat. That simply tucks in to the bowel when folded for storage. What a great simple system. -P.Seim

★★★★★ Best Birthday Gift-A huge hit!

★★★★★ Best Christmas Gift!
"This compact bowl is among the most novel inventions to arrive at sporting and outdoor stores! A folding bowl that's light weight, flattens, and satisfies the most basic need of hikers and campers--eating. Great gift at Christmas for every campers outfit."-Niki Anderson

★★★★★ The product is excellent!
"The product is excellent and works perfectly with my current gear load-out. My only "complaint" is that Bear Minimum only has the one product line available, because I wish there were others."
_________________________________________________________________________
★★★★★ A Survival Pack Essential!
"If you spend any time in the back-country in the winter (or anytime!) you should have one of these. For snowmobilers and snowbikers, no pack should be without one. Eating snow takes more energy from the body to process the snow and lowers core temp. If you can start a fire, you can stay alive with one of these and keep your core temp up by drinking hot water/tea/soup. Weighs next to nothing, sturdy, and packs flat as a pancake. Think about the circumstances that might make you spend a night in the woods...then ask yourself: Would I be thirsty and needing to warm up? The answer is probably yes. Then ask yourself how would you fix that. This is the answer."-Brent W.

★★★★★ Superlative product
"Superlative product. I’ve used three sizes of Bear Bowls with propane, natural gas, electric burners, campfires, and a Biolite® CampFire stove. Never a problem. They are lightweight, very efficient, and pack down flat to almost nothing. Clean up is rapid and effortless. I can’t recommend them enough."

"Since we (my wife and I)try to pack as light as can be the bear bowls were heavier than expected. However if it saves using a different pot/pan to cook in we will give it a try. Our schedules for the rest of the year so we will have to wait until next year to give them a try. Then we might do another review."-bchawaii50
