Did you know that in the state of California that if you go backpacking without a bear canister on your being, you can be fined $500? And the offense goes up with each additional fine all the way up to $5,000. Now the canisters are designed to lock in food and smells to protect you and your party from attracting potentially dangerous black and brown bears to your campsite. It is to your benefit to have the canisters; but now if you get caught without one it will cost you. Good canisters can be ordered from various online camping and recreation retailers or retail and sporting chains such as REI. Do make sure you pick one up – and pick one up per camper too. You must all have your own.
