Do we carry the food on backcountry trips?

January 11th, 2023 by Carl D

Yes.

Most guides organize bear canisters into breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and refrigerated items. We’ll pre-pack everything, and provide you with a packed bear canister. We’ll then sort out whatever overflow food we have as well (we use bear-proof bags called Ursacks for that – superduper useful).

These all have different weights and depending on how much weight you want to carry, you can grab the bear canister that best matches the load you think is feasible.
