Hello SPers. I'm going to be starting from East Glacier and hiking west ~150 miles. I know in GNP there are poles or whatever for food in camp. Once i've hit the western border of the park though, i'm not quite sure whether i should be carrying a bear canister or what. I'm used to only carrying it in areas where it's mandatory, but i'm also not used to hiking much in grizzly bear country. My one climb in the Beartooths we just carried the canister, but we were going much less far, so it didn't matter too much to have the extra weight. I'd rather not carry it this time, but i will if safety requires it.
Thoughts?
p.s. I've hung food several times, but i wouldn't especially trust myself to do it right. In recent years, it's been either a canister or (way more often) pick a smart campsite and sleep with my food.
