I have hung food caches from trees along the PCT and never had a problem
with bears. I wrap the food with a couple plastic bags, then a piece of
screen (for varmints) and then duct tape. Walk 100' into the forest
from a trailhead and find a good limb. I did part of the tahoe rim
trail one year and stashed both food and water near road crossings. it
was so nice never carrying more than two or two and a half day's worth
of food.
