[pct-l] Canisters



   Yeah , good idea - spray yourself with bear spray . . .  
   As to bear canisters ; I went and bought one from the Forest Service there at the Park Office  by Tuolumne Meadows Campground last summer immed after a bear scared me at Rush Creek . Up to then I had been hanging my food sucessfully . But it was hard and I took many risks which are avoidable . It is a Garcia Mfg . " Backpacker's Cache " and measures 12 " , 9 ",  8 " and 5 3/4 " - long , wide at the middle , wide at the ends and wide across the opening . 
   It has two screw type devices that secure the top which pivots from a third location to open .
   Keep up the great info all you who contribute here . 
            And , Thanks , Rafter Jack
