Bear boxes to Mantie

[doverpack12]

I was reading back through Bob Hoverson’s book and saw something I hadn’t before. He shows some bear resistant box options. One of them appears to be a box meant to Mantie then tie on with a hitch. It’s also the box he Manties to demonstrate the hitches and looks about the size of all the boxes he has loaded on mules in the cover photo.

I’ve been looking into bear resistant box options and like that idea. Searching online I’m using the wrong key words or they aren’t available anymore.

I recall seeing some like that. As I recall they were made of aluminum and I think the guy told me he had them built.
