Thanks for the speedy replies which are informative and entertaining. I did not know about the bear lockers in the campgrounds. So, we will not be carrying one of the 3-pound canisters. As a long-distance backpacker, I have bear-bagged my food in trees several times, but I hate doing it especially in the rain.

Gear Talk / Bear Resistant Canister

My wife and I (in our 60s) will be riding self- contained (camping) on the TransAm this spring/summer from VA to OR. Should we carry a bear-resistant canister for our food?
