[pct-l] monte's bear can challenge

[reynolds@iLAN.com (Reynolds, WT)]

There are no reeported incidents of a bear repeatedly smashing a bear
canister in a rock. They sit on it, they bat it around, they growl on it but
they don't pick it up and slam it on a sharp rock. HOWEVER, Monte argues
that the bears will learn to do this eventually. I agree. Therefor Monte
will be allowed to CLUMSELY (sp) toss the can against a sharp rock.

Steve,
How about the bear stomping or sitting on it and bouncing
.

since I assume only techniques bears
are capable of in the field will be
accepted in the bear can challenge,
I submit the following question:

Can a bear pick up a garcia or bearikade
and repeatedly smash it against a rock ?

Just curious.
