[pct-l] Bears

["Purplcows" <purplcows@jps.net>]

Hi all!

I've finally come to the conclusion that I'm going to use a bear can (I'll
take the weight rather than take the risk).....
but that brings me to another question....where should I start using it, and
where should I drop it?  I'd rather carry it a little longer than needed
than not long enough.  I'll be passing Whitney around the 12 of July so
it'll be prime season to run into bears.

Thanks for your input.
