[pct-l] hanging food

[Stephen Adams]

Thinking about it though, PCT herd season going thru the parks is pretty early on.  Especially this season when there will still be a lot of snow left up high.  I've been up along the PCT during this time a bunch and I'd say chances of actually seeing a bear are pretty slim until later on in July and into Sept.  
For the most part the bear canister solves food and bear safety in most cases.  We used to counter balance and hang, not so anymore.  It's also a bit un-nerving and hard to sleep knowing your food's just out there exposed and blowin in the breeze.  When ever I had food hagin the first thing I looked for when getting up, whatever time, was to check the food.  Can't hear anything either if near running water.  
IF I don't need a canister, I now at least take an Ursack.
