[pct-l] Re: Bear Cans (the diameter)

According to a ranger? My source was directly from the designer of the
Bearikade. Can't get much closer to the truth than that.

But even if you think about your first premise: the perimeter of the
can is designed for the jaw of a grizzly bear. The jaw of a black bear
is smaller.

I like your second premise though. 10...15..36...hike...hike..."go
long Yogi!"
