Another great hiking blog from California. It must be the CENTER OF THE OUTDOOR UNIVERSE.
I’ve just subscribed to Olivia’s Hiking Backpacks blog.
Don’t be fooled by the name. It’s got much, much more.
For example, this post on the Palisade EST bear vault. A food protection system which gives a small electric shock to animal intruders.
The Palisade EST is available in (3) sizes. 450, 600, and 900 cu in models which allow for a broad range of capacity to best fit your trip length.
It’s heavier and more expensive than the one I use.
But if you might be interested, click through to Hiking Backpacks: Shocked by a Grizzly? Shock it Back!
I am still looking for a link to the bear vault which has a night light. That way I can FIND my food in the dark.

Have you heard of headlamps. They work well. FREDTERP
I’m glad you think the grizzly shocking bear cannister is as cool as I do 🙂 Your blog is fantastic too 🙂 I’d love to hear all your recommendations and thoughts on Cambodia. I plan on going their for a week or two.
Cambodia, I never thought or imagine myself there, Even I went through all Northern Coast of Africa by Bicycle (1991 & 1993) for 3 months period but I would be scared to go through Asian Forest or mountains. I found this article through this website: http://www.sleepingbagsavvy.com/
