[pct-l] bear bagging

[Edward Anderson]

Michael,

I used OpSaks for my food and for my horse's feed. Reached Canada without bear 
problems. I also used "bear charms" (moth balls inside cotton tobacco sacks). 
The bears dislike the smell of the moth balls, they never visited my camps.

Hi All,
So, bear cannisters are required on some parts of the trail, I'm assuming that 
you bear bag it on the rest of the trail? I only ask this as I've never read 
anything about it anywhere. We bear bag everywhere here in Canada unless you are 
camping when they're hibernating.

anyone?

cheers,
Mike
