Stated at the front. Both are safety objects and neither is a bottle we sell.

Fuel decant

White gas, alcohol, or a liquid fuel moved from a can into something smaller for a trip. A real and common practice with a specific container requirement.

A fuel bottle is a pressure-rated object

Designed for a fuel, often for a pump to thread into, and tested. A packaging bottle is not one however tough it looks.

So this catalog is the wrong supplier for it

Which is the honest answer and the useful one. Send the customer to an outdoor equipment supplier and keep the rest of the order.

And the chemistry rules still apply

A liquid fuel is a flammable liquid with a flashpoint and a container size limit by material. The shop consumables property sets out Table H-12 and the categories.

Fire starter is the same answer in miniature

A gel or soaked tinder is still a flammable preparation. A sealed jar keeps it from drying out and from wetting everything else, and the classification question does not go away because the quantity is small.

Bear-resistant food storage

Forest and park food storage orders require approved containers in many units, and the requirement is issued locally rather than nationally.

Nothing here is a certified bear-resistant container

Not the jars, not the tubs, not anything. A certified canister is a tested object and this shelf holds none, which is the only thing we should say about it.

What we can serve inside one

The spice kit, the supplements, the condiments and the soap all go inside whatever food storage the unit requires. Small sealed containers make a canister pack better.

Odor control is the real contribution

A sealed container keeps smell in, and smell is what a food storage order exists to manage. 11 liners and sealing discs on this shelf is the line item that does it.

Which is the right division of labor

The canister is somebody else's product. What goes inside it, sealed and organized and light, is ours.

The archetype behind this shelf is store-liquid-decant: 15 to 120 mL, narrow mouth, flip top or disc top or lotion pump or fine mist, PET and HDPE, cold fill, thin, aqueous, poured, with "travel decant, leakproof under pressure change is the whole requirement" as its stated reason. All seven leaves sit on it, including fuel decant and fire starter, which are neither aqueous nor cold.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 18 October 2026.

Written from 40 CFR 152.500 and from the catalog as it stood on 18 October 2026. No log-reduction performance figures appear anywhere in this property, because the commonly cited numbers come from an EPA guide standard rather than a codified rule. Forest and park food storage orders are issued locally and are not summarized. Nothing here is a fuel bottle or a bear-resistant container.
