[pct-l] Bear Canisters

[giniajim]

I'm planning to use the 450 for about 4-5 days at a time with more compressible food.  Need to spend some time this spring experimenting with it though.

  I used the BV500 in Yosemite last year... 6 days worth of "fancier" (ie: more ingredients) food with PLENTY of room for toiletries, trash, etc.

  I'm looking at the Bear Vault.  Comes in two sizes.  http://www.bearvault.com/

  It's on the Yosemite NP approved list.  http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/containers.htm

    Camp near and utilize food storage lockers ("bear boxes") the first few nights in Seki...
    See <http://climber.org/data/BearBoxes/map.html>...

    Happy trails!!!
