Last summer my friend and I used some 4" (.25" wide) pvc pipes to make some canisters for storing food.  They have a sealed bottom and a threaded cap.  We used them in Zion, but there didn't seem to be any wildlife there.  We are going on a 4 day jaunt in the Rocky Mountains.  Does anyone expect them to work?
