"I doubt you would be called on it by a ranger if you had a "non approved" size."
I've never had any negative comment from a park ranger on my Bear Boxer, 1.6 lbs.

Well However if you really want to squeeze six days of food in the can then you need to keep the daily amount down to about a pound and a half, use compact food such as gorp, oatmeal, rice etc, and throw out any packaging. It can be done but it takes some careful planning. …Aug 22, 2012 at 10:03 pm #1905166Here is how you get extra days out of your cannister and backpacking meals. Repackage everything in Zip Locks, focus dehydrated meals for two and use the rice meals, as you divide the meals up add rice instant to it and pack. every layer shake down with cous cous loose in the cannister. Organze the meals to take them out in order and eat the cous cous for lunch as you pull the meals out. The cous cous will shake into every crack and airspace. This method should give you eight days. Or more depending how you eat.
