face=Arial size=2>We are proud owners of crocs. Ken's weigh 12.8 oz, mine weigh
10.3 oz. We always leave them at home saving a total of 23.1 oz...a
whopping 1 pound 7.1 ounces! So our 2 pound 11.75 ounce Garcia canister is only
a net of 1 pound 4.65 ounces when the croc savings is figured in. </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>We saw a bear approach our canister then make a U-turn to
another camp. It seemed that he recognized the canister, without touching it,
and moved on. Rangers in Yosemite have asked us if we were carrying a canister.
It's just visual. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>If we really wanted I think we
could reduce the canister weight by several ounces by sanding out the interior.
The canister would still look right to the ranger and bears so it would retain
its effectiveness. TIC</FONT></FONT></DIV>

things and think this way. She is the only person that ever had me ONLY
paint the VERY TOPS of her shelter stakes florescent orange to save weight by
not painting the whole stake. She probably saved a whopping 3 grams for
all her stakes (27 grams in an ounce). Geeeesh. This is as bad as
AsABat.</DIV>
