PCT Bear canister loan program

I would like to say thanks to the PCT organization that offered me the possibility of  use their bear canister through their bear canister loan program.  It is something else to don't worry about. For all that people that doesn't know what is a bear canister, we don't have those in Europe, it is a strong and heavy container where you can store your food away from any trampy bear. Those are required in certain national parks with thieve bears problem where handling the food from the threes is not enough.

Now I just need to learn how to hide the canister from the bears..............


                

The rehabilitation of my knee at this point is not looking good, I still have 3 moths to go but I can not see much improvement at this moment even when I am doing daily exercises . I hope everything goes well.....been positive

Regarding gear wise, I have the 90 % done, it would be small changes but I have everything.It is about bricolage and personalise few items. Now setting up smartphone with some travel applications.

Resupply strategy - Fucking disaster I am. Still I have not decided anything. Where to send the maps, or should I print them on the trail?? Could I send a parcel from UK to an USA general PO?? Sierra strategy, no yet......... San Diego to Campo, no yet. General food resupply strategy, maybe just a draft. Still a lot to think about 

Permits - still I have to apply for all of them.......( fire permit California, entry in Canada, PCT  permit )

Still 3 moths to go so still plenty time...
