Hi everyone!
I am planning a JMT hike in september, but I have never hiked through areas with high bear activity, and Yosemite's reputation naturally makes me a bit apprehensive.
Has anyone rented a canister from the park service there? Can you tell me please how wide its opening is, so I can plan for what food to bring? What do you do with things like cooking pots and the backpack - things that may potentially smell of food, although there is none inside. I would like to keep them in my tent because I wouldn't want the backpack to remain outside, even on a tree.
Would you recommend to get bear-spray? If so, what brand/where to get it? And lastly, if you can shed any light on how to bring a stove on an airplane, it would be great. Last time I tried this, it was confiscated from me by the airline.
Any other tips on the area are appreciated and welcome!
