Hi Everyone – I'm kinda new here, been learning lots, and this is my first post. I've done some searching without finding the answer.
So I'm curious about first hand accounts on failures of methods for bear food protection. There are discussions ad nauseum about whether PCT is better, a canister is better, or something else. Basically, I've read a lot of people talking about what they trust, but not seeing much, if anything, about what has failed them (besides the obvious tie off of a line to the tree). I'm looking to avoid the 2 extra pounds for a canister if possible.
What I want to know is: has the PCT method ever failed you or someone you know? What about the canister method? Looking for first or second-hand accounts… I'm thinking that by learning about system failures, I can learn what really works and what to avoid.
Thanks!
