[pct-l] bear canisters

[jim@rollercoaster.com (Jim Serio)]

Thanks. Having never hiked in bear country I did believe that. So it
is recommended we bury (under rocks) the canister? I tend to wonder if
people actually keep it in their tent though. Doesn't sound too 
unreasonable, does it? Any incidents where a bear tore apart a tent
for a food canister?
