Gearing Up for Backpacking, Part 5: Bear Keg


Black bears are getting to be a problem in the Apalachicola area, and have recently been spotted in the Desoto National Forest near the Tuxachanie.  Sure, there's the hang method, but that won't help with the raccoon and squirrel problems, and if anything these are even bigger than the bear problem.  A keg though solves them all in one fell swoop.  The smallest one that I could find weights in at 2.4 lbs, bleh.  Luckily, this one's also the cheapest option too (amazon), so that's an easy decision.

2.4 lbs of back pain and raccoon frustration.

Its going to be time for an all-up base weight measurement soon.
