Re: Packing the bear can
A couple of clarifications.
DEET doesn't get packed in the can...but the all natural insect repellent my wife likes does go in there.
And yes, soap. A tiny bottle of Dawn that gets used for everything from greasy pots to dirty hands.

Re: Packing the bear can
I love bear cans. I love rangers who enforce these regs. I love the regs. I love backpackers who are "in" to this stuff. All of this for one reason. I always wanted to eliminate weight from my pack that served no purpose. A bear can would never have served a positive purpose for me. I'm sure of this. No lie. I wouldn't lie about this. If you need to carry the extra weight, good for you. I guess now you have no choice. I love these regs. I really love that they're for now and weren't in the past. Thank god. I wouldn't like to have those kinds of memories.
