I recall reading somewhere that the size of the bear canister i bring had a minimum. Is this true?
not knowing where you read it makes it difficult to know if it is true or not.
one of the approved bear cans has been defeated by an east coast bear and campers are warned if they venture into this area to be aware of this.
inyo nat'l forest "traveling in bear country" the link to sierrawild.gov will tell you all about bears and how to avoid feeding them.
