I am looking at doing the JMT with my family this summer.  My problem is after MTR I will only be able to fit 7 days of food in the bear can.  I have the bearikade exped.  I would like to use the counterbalance method to hang 1 day worth of food.  Has anyone done this?

Thanks

Eric

I haven’t done it but it seems like it’s allowed most areas of Kings Canyon except Rae Lakes, Dusy and Palisades Basin, etc, but they don’t recommend it. After MTR there is a stretch of terrain that you could hang a bag in, until you get up into Evolution Basin and above the treeline.

So, it’s “legal” to do but if there’s a way to avoid it then you probably should.
