I just found the most essential piece of backcountry gear since the avy transceiver. You know how sometimes you're in the backcountry, and you just want a damn banana?? But if you put it in your pack it gets bruised, and nobody wants a bruise on their banana. Well, enter the Banana Guard!!





Alternate definitions at urbandictionary.com notwithstanding, this thing actually works. It does in fact accomodate quite a range of banana shapes and sizes. And of course it is quite a conversation piece when you whip it out, so to speak.

Oh where do the comments begin?

I dont even know were to start........

Dood! I actually own a banana guard! It is the crudest-looking piece of fruit protection gear, ever! But does protect a banana pretty well...

Ha...... too bad that thing is not big enough for my banana!

how can you intergrate this with Shat Shorts? I see a joint venture on the horizon.

I hear OCD is adamant about guarding his banana in the BC... and keeping it clean and well groomed too.

**Bump**

The banana guard is now in the Gear Room.

And I thought I was radical making a PVC tube to carry an apple or orange, nothing better than some fresh fruit after a hike or skin into something nice...but I have never thought of eating a banana...but the container compared to the photo of the banana hammock dies disturb.

First picture that came to my mind as well. There is something wrong with me.

needs some sort of insulation too. my banana froze stiff this past weekend. my wife was stoked though.

i like to keep my banana a little on the warm side cause if it gets cold it shrinks and then nobody wants it
