BWCA Food Pack


My brother Tom started using this configuration for a food pack over 20 years ago- with this exact garbage can.  After more than 20 years, the garbage can has never failed to keep food dry, even when hanging in a rain storm, or lying in the bottom of a canoe.  The can is typically carried just as shown here- inside of a #4 Duluth Pack, with one or two cooler bags on top of it, and the camp tarp between the garbage can and the straps of the Duluth Pack, to provide padding.  With a #4 pack, there is still room for a lot more gear, other than what has been mentioned here.  It keeps the critters out too.
