I'm just seeing this now. I use a bear proof Yeti cooler that is certified by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee in Montana. You also should have bear proof locks. I got mine from bearbolts.com The locks are certified by the same agency. They are quick release with a button. No keys. As mentioned elsewhere it's a good idea to tie the cooler down so the bears don't move it while trying to bust into it. Be safe. Auto5

$120 for two bolts? Wow. Think I'll just stick with my combination Master lock. No key needed as well.
