[pct-l] Message 6, bear canister

[Dami Roelse]

I have hiked the length of Oregon. Have never encountered a bear in camp. Seen bear scurry away from the trail though. You don’t need a bear canister in Oregon, bears are shy (still). Do hang your food in a tree, it is safer and won’t invite a rogue bear into your tent.
Do you know about OPSAK, odor barrier plastic bags for your food? I use these nowadays to discourage bear visits. 
Enjoy your hike,
Dutchess
