Only used the boxes a handful of times... and one of those times some clown put a lock on the box.
Luckily was able to get the box open and left them a nice little note...

What do you carry in that pack of yours, that lets you get into a locked bear box? Or are you one of those guys that can pick a lock using only a pine needle?

I'd just leave the small canister at home. You can stuff your stove and other
items in the larger can for your shorter trip. If you really want to lug the extra
can from way over yonder... then I would not worry in the least about leaving
an empty bear can in your car. Unless you are using it to store honey.
110% area with Katy. I'm gonna end up doing a back-to-back too... and
I'll probably just buy stuff for 2nd trip at TM or in Lee Vining somewhere.

I was just telling jimdisco that he could fill up the space in his big bear
can for his shorter trip with stuff like stove and can o fuel... and just
leave the small bear can at home...
Rule o thumb is simply... if you apply it to you... or eat it... then
put it in the bear can... suntan lotion, bug spray, food, lip balm...
that is the scha-speel you'll get when u get ur permit.

I only root for the MA teams after I know the respective Carolina teams are out of the running.
In other words, you root for Boston teams all the time!

Don't know which Tom you are talking about (we have several here) but I'm not related to anybody else on this forum even though I do live back east and am a Patriots fan if that's what Patsfans means. Tomdisco is just an acronym for a small company I once owned based partly on my middle name. I'm really a Jim and chick-on sometimes likes to correct the impression that tomdisco means I'm a Tom. That's why he occasionally calls me jimdisco instead. Are you thoroughly confused now? One correction: I only root for the MA teams after I know the respective Carolina teams are out of the running. Rooting for the Boston Bruins right now big time.

I asked a bear specialist about DEET and bears. He didn't think they'd go for that (or the citronella candle).
