More Bear Can Fun

posted Sep 24, 2010 9:55 AM by Paul Wagner
Since posting the directions on how to pack your bear can, we've received a few extra tips from readers...
 
"Don't forget to sit on the lid as you are packing the can.  This not only compresses everything tighter, but can also break the threads of the can.  That means you have to buy a new (and bigger!) bear cannister."
 
"You left out the most important part--how to use a hammer to mash all that food into the smallest possible space."
 
"Forget the hammer, I use a 2X4 for leverage!"
 
And this from M:  "We don't need to take less stuff.  We just need to get bigger bear cans."
 
Indeed.

Yes, it's fall the and the days are shorter...and that means that the end of the season can't be far away.  We can't help feeling a little sad about it all.  We'll try to squeeze in a few more days up in the mountains before the snow really falls and the roads close...but the glory of summer is over.  And we'll just have to save the rest of those trips for next year.
 
Which reminds me...
 
Where are those books and maps?  Let's take a look at where we are going next year!
