Me, Mom and Max (my bro) are going on the John Muir Trail this summer. We go to EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports). We go there to buy gear and to learn about the hike. We talked about bear canesters and camping food. A bear canester is a canester that you use for camping. And I'm pretty sure you know what camping food is..and if you don't know, it's food you use for camping. You need a bear canester because you need to put your food in it, and lock it so the bears can't open it. I kind of feel bad for the bears. I mean, there's this canester that they can't open, and they ceep on trying, and still they can't. We also got a two-person tent that can fit all of us. We have a head-camera and a double sleeping bag and two backpacks. Then we bought camping food. We have so many things. I love (heart) ems. The End
