[pct-l] help (bear canisters in Olympic NP)

[enyapjr at comcast.net]

FYI & FWIW...  It depends on where you will be backpacking...

Bear canisters are now required in some areas of Olympic NP...
See http://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/wilderness-food-storage.htm for the required areas
and also the 'proper' (per NPS) hang technique (12' high & 10' out from closest tree trunk)...

HYOH, YMMV, etc. ...

Happy trails!!!
