Yummy Yum! But how do you keep the coyotes and ravens away and what do you to 
keep it fresh while hiking? Or is that the point --- you don't have to 
because it's already gone bad. Sure puts worrying about giardia in a different light
  I'd definitely use a bear can!
 Next up: multiple uses for cow pies along the PCT
