 I have noted on the PCT is leaving your bear
 canister in camp. Sure your food is secure. But
 the odors will still
 attract bears, and you
 will end up with a frustrated hungry bruin right
 outside your tent. This does not seem wise to
 me.

 The bears in the Sierra are smart. I've woken in the morning to see bear tracks walk right by my bearikade. They don't even bother to knock them over.

The bear can requirement has been very effective in altering bear behavior.
