[pct-l] Bear-bagging?

[Brian Lewis]

"And what does one do all the rest of the time? Doesn't seem to be a lot of
trees around for hanging food. I've read that some sleep with their food in
their tents, but having had mice wake me up after chewing through the
netting, I don't really want to do that again. What's the usual answer on
the PCT?"

Yet another subject of potentially passionate debate, but FWIW, I think that
rodent attacks on food are a lot less common than along the AT --- can still
happen, but "sleeping with your food" generally works fine for most places.
I did that prior to the Sierras as there aren't a lot of rodents (or
bears).  North of the Sierras I used an Ursack, in part because that's just
sort of my normal approach (I live in WA state).
