Ha ha ha ha ha! That is too funny.

I saw only two bears during my hike from Mexico to Mt. Shasta, not  
counting the Yosemite bear that lived in the campground. Both real  
bears I saw ran in terror from me. I see no need for pepper spray. I  
think you cut a frightening figure with a pair of trekking poles and  
a bug net over your head. That's my theory, anyway.

Anyway, thank god for bear canisters. I cannot for the life of me  
hang my food.
