[pct-l] How to Ultralightweight JMT/bear can

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

I don't want to be involved into the discussion about ultralight. But, It
is certain that the well-designed  backpack pulls up the upper limit of the
total pack weight. And the difference of energy consumption is within 10 %
concerning the total pack weight. Therefore, if you select a good backpack,
there is no problem to carry bear canister, book, guitar, and etc. Enjoy
JMT. It is a best place.
