[pct-l] Bear Cannisters

[Ned Tibbits]

I spoke to Jamie Hogan of Bearvault a day or two ago about just this issue, 
the BV500 doesn't hold the amount of food many hikers need for the long 
stretches in the Sierra. Heck, my 17-day gorp bag takes up nearly 1/3rd of 
it!

Maybe if we all encourage them to make something bigger, they might....
