We had plenty of food for the 7 day trip and proper clothing.
A bear barrel is essential for these trips and can be found on kijiji or other locations quite easily. It should be at 50L barrel; the 20L barrel is a little small, at least for 2 people's food items.
Remember, no glass is allowed, there is a fine for bringing in glass items. Bug spray are clothing for all possible conditions (rain, cold, heat) is necessary. If I were to do this trip again, I would be sure to bring 2 dozen oranges to pack in the bear barrel. I would also also bring 2 dozen cooked eggs for a protein source; this cuts down on the weight for carrying cans of food, such as beans and canned ham.

Thanks for the trip report, FYI cans are not allowed in the park interior.
