We hike mostly in Sequoia Kings Canyon & Yosemite area and wouldn't go
without a bear canister. Every trip has at least one night with a bear visit. No
problems since we started carrying canisters. However, if cost is an issue,
you can rent them at Yosemite & Sequoia Kings Canyon for about $5 per trip. I'm
not sure if that is the visitor center or the wilderness office that has them.
We rented Bearikade Expeditions directly from wild-ideas for our JMT
thru-hike. I think SK rents Bearikades, Yosemite only Garcias.
