[pct-l] Where to carry bearcan




>Hi!  I'm a lurker who's going to be on the JMT soon.  Reading all of the
>discussions about bears, I've decided to use a bear can.  One question,
>though: is it OK to carry the bearcan (Garcia) inside my pack?

>I carried a bearcan inside my pack during a recent trip to Big Bend, TX,
>with no problem.  However the bears at Big Bend (had a mother & cub cross
>the trail about 20yds in front of us -- they acted somewhat indifferent...)
>don't appear to be anywhere near as smart or aggressive as those on the
JMT.
>I can't remember if we were down/upwind of the bears -- that didn't
>even cross our minds at the time!

>Thanks!
