If you think loading a dishwasher is hard, try cramming anything that smells but you absolutely need into a bear canister. Torrey and I were backpacking in Rocky Mountain National Park where they require bear canisters in the backcountry, and we had to figure out how to shove everything we needed for three days and two nights into one. Meals, snacks, the stove, pot, and spoons were priortiy (obviously), but we also wanted to fit in things like sunscreen and bug spray and toothpaste/toothbrush, and deoderant. It was a challenge, but we managed to get everything in there alright. In hindsight we didn't need to bring near as much food as we did, which wouoold have saved us weight and space, but oh well. At least we didn't starve!
Leave me a comment below and tell me if you've ever packed a bear canister. What did you put in, and how did you do it?
