[pct-l] bear cannister?

[robo hiker]

is there any up to date info on this subject,  is it an "absolute must or get fined ", any "07" hikers out there that didn't carry one? i'm not looking forward to buying / carrying one, but if i have to "dodge" rangers because i don't have one i'll buy one. if you did carry one what kind was it?
thanks for your help.
