Few pieces of canoe tripping gear have earned their place on Canadian rivers quite like the classic blue barrel.

The Level Six 30L Waterproof Barrel is a canoe tripping staple, trusted for keeping food, clothing, and gear completely dry through whatever a portage route or a swamped canoe can throw at it. Built from durable, recyclable HDPE #2 plastic, the barrel is fully waterproof thanks to a sealed lid secured by a steel locking ring, making it genuinely submersion-proof rather than just splash resistant. It's the kind of gear that gets handed down after decades of hard trips.

At 30 litres, it's the right size for a tripper's food supply or a full kit of personal gear, and it pulls double duty as a seat around camp. Rotating plastic handles make it easier to manage on carries, and it's designed to pair directly with the Level Six Bad Hass Barrel Harness, which converts it into a backpack-style carry for longer portages without the shoulder punishment of hauling it by hand.

The barrel is made from recyclable HDPE #2 plastic, a material choice that aligns with Level Six's broader commitment to reducing environmental impact across their product line.
