[pct-l] Bear Canister Necessary North of Tahoe For Me?

[Austin Williams]

He could also use it as a step to get over fallen trees... As a flotation
device for fording rivers... As a drum during camp hours... As a water
bucket for bathing... for forming sand-castles (or dirt castles)... a
container for holding fish... as a blunt weapon...  a foot rest... the list
goes on.

But all joking aside... no, you won't need it.  Just sleep with your food
and you'll be fine.  Unless you start hearing mice at night.  Then bear-bag
your food and pray they cant figure out how to get to it before sunrise.  I
hate mice sooooo much when I'm on the trail.  They are cute, but they are
terrorist bandit thieves is what they are.
