. There are two sizes of the BRFC’s that are issued free of charge with the backcountry permit. Small containers (dimensions 8×12 inches) will carry enough food for a single person for 3 to 5 days and weigh about 3 pounds. These containers may be packed in much the same way as a sleeping bag. Large containers (dimensions 8×18 inches) will carry enough food for a single person for 7 to 10 days and weigh about 5 pounds. The larger containers are more difficult to pack.
