[pct-l] Nightly food storage

[gary_schenk at verizon.net]

 In the national parks, I use a bear can to protect the bears from my food. To do otherewise is unethical and potentially fatal for the bears.  In other places you just need to keep it away from rodents. Hanging off a boulder or a tree, or sleeping with it seems to work.

Hi everyone,

It seems that there are widely different opinions on what to do with
food at night to protect it from bears and other critters while on the
PCT. I'd be curious to hear what people have done successfully in the
past. I have opsacks, an ursack, and rope as possible tools to bring
with me. It sounds like some people prefer to keep their food In their
tent while others like to tie it up well away from their tent. I'm
still trying to decide what I will do, and would love some input from
experienced folks.

Thanks!

Badger
