Re: [pct-l] bear canisters



In large parts of the Sierra using bear canisters or bear boxs are required. If
you don't use them you will be ticketed. You cannot scare these bears off and
counterbalancing won't work. Most people expect that these regulations will be
adopted in all of the California Sierra very soon. These regulations are being
driven by the increasing human/bear incidents. Two hikers were hurt in Center
Basin last year prompting the current requirement.

I take your joking for what it is. {Bear Canisters are not good soccer balls but
make great coctail tables} However, the bear problem in California are caused by
stooopid people and misunderstanding you comments about bears.
