Yeah, tried it in mine.Originally Posted by saltysack
Im not sure id call it a "fit" horizontaal myself
But if put in end first and rotate theres a spot right at bottom of ext. collar where the pack will stretch around it. Half in the collar, half in pack. Wider there than the collar.
It cant go down anymore in mine, and has to be turned endwise to remove.
If you dont have an otherwise full pack beneath it, I dont see it working real well . Course if you dont, it would go in vertical
I think its a bad idea, but some will also carry bearcan contents in their small pack, strapping empty lightwt bearcan to top and transfer food to can in evening.

Before I figured out that my bear can fit horizontally in the collar of my Circuit I tried it vertically (for about 2 hours). Two things I will note about fitting a can in vertically. First the pack didn't have the accustomed ULA "feel" that I was used to. Secondly, it somewhat changed how I had to pack. I layer my gear horizontally based upon probable sequence of usage. Putting the can vertical meant that some other items had to be packed vertical as well. Perhaps I would have fine tuned this method but not liking to change enabled me to figure out a horizontal fit.
This is a bit ironic as since, for trips not requiring bear can, I have switched to a ULA Ohm 2.0 and have modified my water system (went from bladder to bottles) and where I now store my tent (in outside stretch pocket).
