Bears really stink, but what is of course slightly worse is, in parts of the West Coast mountains and also NY's Adirondacks and probably a few other spots, rangers can kick you out unless you've got the cans.

I rented can once, and have never hung food, despite seeing a few destroyed pack remnants passing through most popular Adirondak backcountry camping area (I stayed on the far edges); watching mid-70s maurading black bears trip over my tarp lines in Jasper Alberta "hippie" LSD campground, and possibly getting minor food/garbage cache completely snitched by bear or other animal in San Juans (Colorado) in 90s.

My "worst" bear experience by far has been dealing with girlfriend's extreme fear of black bears.

These new cans, are they government-approved?
