[pct-l] Bear Canister Controversy....''THE SOLUTION''

[Reinhold Metzger]

There is a solution to this bear canister controversy.
Forget the bear canister, strap a  ''Beer  Keg''  on your pack instead 
and go on a liquid diet.
Since the  ''Beer  Keg'' is bear proof,  our liquid calories would be 
safe and we would be in full compliance.

Beer contains lots of calories, so would not need traditional 
backpacking food, nor would we need a stove,
 fuel, pots & pans.
We would not need water (there is lots of water in beer) nor would we 
need purification or filtration devises.
Since beer is calorie fortified, one keg will take us a long way and we 
would never be at risk of dehydration.

But, most important, we would be happier and more jovial campers and 
that my friends, is what it's all about.
