[pct-l] Re: Renting a bear-container

[backpacker at attbi.com (backpacker)]

but rember they are heavy  and won't protect your food like hanging it 
will. the only time they are half worth it is being abiove tree line and 
then you usaly don't have t o woory about the bears. but if there is a 
tree I would hang it course they have stuped rules stoping that even 
though it has been proven that hanging it right will protect your food 
100 times beter then those things. heck tonight we have to bears right 
in my back yard. nice thing about leavign right next to the worlds first
