[pct-l] re: Cramming a BV450

[Postholer]

> "The Care and Feeding of Your Bear Canister" by Tom Reynolds,

...is a bunch of crap.

Tom 'claims' he can get 18lbs of 'food' into a canister, though he 
conveniently fails to mention the type or dimension of canister he uses.

A BV450 packed solely with uncooked long grain white rice comes to 19,200 
calories or 1,920 calories per day for 10 days and weighs 14lbs. Hint: bad 
thru-hiker food.

How do you compress rice or powders into a canister? Only Tom knows.

Tom has made some fantastic claims on the PCT-L in the past. He also has a 
personal vendetta against anyone who doesn't carry a canister. Pretty scary.

More embellsihment from the peanut gallery.
