[pct-l] lightweight packs and bear canisters

I haven't tried my bear vault in my Breeze yet.  I found that over 20 lbs
is too much for my shoulders.  My Breeze now has a 2" belt(strap). 
I can carry more weight.  I'm probably using my Breeze for that section.  I
have a very small base weight and I'll restock often. 

Last year, after talking to the Tuoumne rangers I mailed my Bear Vault
home.  The ranger said just don't camp before hiking seven miles north of
Tuolumne.

> Has anyone used a combination of a Golite Breeze (or similar pack) and a
Bearvault who can enlighten me as to the best way to attatch the bear
canister?  The best idea I have so far involves sewing on two straps to
match the strap guides on the canister but I'm skeptical as to the
functionality of such a system.  I really only need something to get me
from Walker Pass to Sonora Pass.
