For what its worth, I had a forest ranger in Yosemite about two miles north of Glen Aulin tell me: "The only legal food storage methods we recognize are the counterbalance method and the bear cannisters".>In California one must carry a bear canister. Exactly where do you find this requirement? I cannot find it anywhere that is written, except for Inyo National Forest Wilderness permits issued for Kearsarge pass.
