[pct-l] bear spray

[Jim Banks]

I agree with Yogi.  You do not need it on the PCT, just dead weight that you
will never need.  If you ever hike the CDT, then you might want to carry it
for the portion where there are grizzlies.

Hi all, I am asking about need for bear spray.  I went out and bought a
bottle of bear spray without thinking about it much.  The canister is huge!
And the guy at REI said it was the smallest he'd ever seen.  Also, I assume
that you can't fly with that or ship it (right?) so what was I thinking?
Should I wait and pick it up later in the hike?

Thanks, Elizabeth
