> I find that putting the canister in the pack vertically on top of my sleeping bag, clothes and tarp works best. The Y strap is great but unless you have a lot of stuff in the Mariposa I find it hard to make a "shelf" to put the canister on and it seems to hang off the back of the pack instead of sitting on top which tends to pull the heavy canister away from my back.
>> Thanks Scott. That's what I was really asking. I don't like the idea of carrying my Bear Vault outside my pack so my food bakes in the sun all day.
Keep the food in you pack, then at night put it in the bear cannister. When you get real low on food, put other stuff into the cannister, and put it in the pack (if it will fit). Not sure is this is a workable solution, but it might be worth considering.
