[pct-l] Sleeping with food everywhere except the Sierra???

[dsaufley]

Remember, the point is to save the bears, not the appeasement of rangers.
When you get down to it, the rangers are all about saving the bears. 

Attitude is everything, and it can make one's load easier to bear (pardon
the pun).

Ok so I'm sure food storage topics are discussed often, but I wanted to hear
an informal poll on the following.

I'm getting the impression that most thru-hikers sleep with their food
without incident.  When in the Sierra they do this at stealth camps.

On my sobo hike this summer I'm thinking of keeping my food with me at night
until I reach Sonora Pass where I will be picking up a canister.   I'll use
the canister through Kennedy Meadows to appease rangers and be responsible. 


How did you store food?  Did anyone experience a bear taking food that they
slept with, or getting a ticket for not carrying a canister?  How was your
experience???

Thanks
Brett
