[pct-l] Food in tents

[Edward Anderson]

You need to put stuff like that in an odor-proof sack, along with TP. Bears have an awesome sense of smell. Rinsing well won't be enough if bears are your concern.

Good morning 
I was thinking of bringing some can food like tuna fish etc and eating them only by streams so I can rinse them out good...I would than poke a hole in the can and use my para like a  trout stringer but for cans...keep them on the outside of my pack....
Until I reach a town to toss...
This is my first thru hike or really camping so just wanna try and get on the same page with the more experienced...
Appreciate all your advice and knowledge!!!
