When I backpack or camp, we always throw all the food in a bag, tie some rope to that bag, and sling it high into a tree a ways from our campsite.
So does a bear canister allow you to just keep it at your camp site? Is it worth the weight penalty?
I hear ya, but in some parks it is a requirement and you must have one. Really all depends on the regulations where you're going backpacking.
Edit: I see folks answered this before me.
