[pct-l] Your food

[David Kessler]

I would agree with Jackie M., that sleeping with your food will keep it away from animals.  I used that technique throughout the years I spent completing the TC.   The closest I came to sharing my food was an evening cowboy camping in the desert portion of the PCT near Mojave.   Was bedding down and it was almost at nighttime darkness when I was visited by an animal as I lay out under the stars.
The food was nestled inside one stuff sack and a pillow for the night.   A kangaroo mouse hopped up at eye level.  We each looked at each other and I never saw it again.
