Funny you mentioned a bear carrying or rolling a bear proof container-  
at my camp  I have a 55 gallon steel drum for trash, when we leave we seal the steel top on with a band that is bolted on.
Went there earlier this summer and could not find my trash drum!Confused

Finally spotted it a hundred yards away in the woods!  Still sealed.   It is still there- this is some rugged terrain and I'm going to need help to get it backBig smile
