Re: [pct-l] New Bear Canister

["(R.J.Calliger)" <calliger@infolane.com>]

On my last 10 day section trip I repacked everything into
zip-loc heavy-duty freezer baggies. 9 days fit in very tightly and day 10
was actally first day
 overflow bag.  I should have weighed the baggies :)))

Last time I did JMT no bear canister and LOTS of bears.

Not one bear since August!
