[pct-l] Ursack S29 a step closer..

[Gail Van Velzer]

One thing I do is hang my food (bear style) and put mothballs with it.  It's never been disturbed by anything...not a bear, or any other critter.  I have even hung my horse feed this way and still it's not touched.  I've done this on the AT as well.

  Tying your food to a tree???  That's ridiculous.  You' re just asking for your food to get taken.   

  Use a bear canister in canister-required areas, and sleep with it in other areas.
