[pct-l] Bear Canisters

[Ken Powers]

Reconsider what food you are carrying.

We packed enough food into a Garcia for 2 people for a 10 day trip from 
Kennedy Meadows to VVR. Some people think we didn't have enough 
food/calories, but the objective was to get thru that stretch. We lost 
weight, but that happens to us on all long distance hikes.

I have the large Garcia bear canister and cannot store enough food in it for 
one long stretch I want to do in the high sierra. I'm looking at about 5 
days of food in the canister, leaving some food outside it in Opsacks. I 
don't want to do that, and I don't want to carry two canisters. Any 
alternatives?
