Is that what you do, Patrick? > Good point. I almost always use a bear canister but hang a drybag with cooking clothes and other things that might attract. So the stuff I hang has never been heavy enough to really need serious hauling. Pulley systems are great. Or course, It gets kind of tricky to set one of those up. I have a hard enough time finding a try that I can actually use. Sometimes I give up, throw everything in the woods or under my fly and say to hell with it. I've been lucky so far and I definately wouldn't try this in an area known for camp bears. Has anyone used the aluminum bear canisters that are on the market now? They are really light and narrow enough that they might work in a boat with a smaller hatch. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
