[pct-l] Sleeping with food

[Elizabeth Clements]

Mike,
I wasn't joking actually.  I thought it was a backwards way of thinking
when I first heard it too, but many hikers do the 'stealth' camp by
sleeping away from campsites and water sources (where critters have learned
to find hikers food) and don't use a canister or hanging system.  What do
you use?
