[pct-l] Bear Canisters and their uses
If you want true joy in life, just load a canister with 2 hersey bars, honey
scented anything, smoked sausage and a Furbie.Bear swats canister and Furbie
laughs it's b--- off. Canisters are still just a temporary short term fix to
pampering problem bears. I would advise use of a small airhorn, wristrocket
and maybe a can of pepper spray. There is nothing " Natural" or cute about
pampered Park bears. The NPS brings this problem on theirselves with their
lame policies creating an " Unnatural" lack of fear between people and
bears. Most anywhere else but in parks, bears are no problem . ( Unless you
like to fry bacon in your tent!!) ( Remember the story of the totaled Toyota
at Whitney Portal?) Bully bears,people,sharks,dogs or whatever need to be
taught a " Painfull" learn about their behavior. If they don't get the
picture then, you need to either destroy or remove them. ( Whether it be
bears,people ,dogs, sharks,mice, snakes, ants,worms,etc.etc. etc.) To open
bear canister while wearing oven mitts, just pick up your " Eggshell Like"
75.00 canister and smack sharply on rock located on ground. So far, bears
have figured out problems much more difficult than this.( Like all the NPS
bear cans and food bags balanced over branch) A canister is a band-aid fix
and another reason to allow NPS to tax you( ticket you) in the process. No
canister( of their choice) and you face a fine.
