[pct-l] Bear Canister Challenge

[Hiker97 at aol.com (Hiker97@aol.com)]

Okay, for the April Kickoff I will be entering my handsfree 3.5 ounce 
umbrella holder in the homemade gear contest.  

I challenge someone to come up with a bear canister that is adjustable.  It 
can weigh under 1.5 pounds for a 3-4 day trip or expand for a 5-7 day trip and 
probably get into the 2+ pound weight range.  Your reward?  A free lunch down 
at the dinner near the park on me.  Or a dinner at the casino if we have 
wheels.  I ate there free last year and it was a very nice meal (I won at slots).  

I figure the answer is a simple canister that has two sections.
1.  For short trips one section has screw on lids for the two ends.
2.  For longer trips a ring connector joins two sections together.  Only one 
lid is needed now, since the second section has a closed bottom.
3.  Or you could just take two smaller canisters on a longer trip.  Either 
way, I will pay off if the weight makes sense.  A 2.5+ pound answer will not cut 
it.  I will have my electronic scales with me if I have a vehicle.

You will get extra points if it comes in colors like the Nalgene bottles.  :)
