I've been using one on longer trips for several years now. The only caveat being you need a large rear hatch to get it in. When full it makes a nice little balast container. One thing with a bear canister. As you eat things out of it, it doesn't get any smaller. But you can fill it with other stuff you acquire along the way. It doesn't keep the critters from trying, mine has little teeth marks all along the edge. I prefer carrying food in one because the hassle of hanging is eliminated (I was tired of mosquitos trying to eat me alive while looking for suitable trees), and you can carry fragile items like tomatos and eggs with out worrying about them breaking. Oh, it makes for a nice little table or ottoman as well. So, not the perfect solution, but one that will work for some. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
