RE: [pct-l] Vacuum sealed bags

["Robinson, Brian A" <brian.robinson@compaq.com>]

Mike,

Bears have eyes and brains as well as noses.  They break into cars to get at
empty coolers because they can see the cooler and associate food with the
cooler.  That's also why they open cans.  They've learned there's food in
there even if they can't smell it.  I don't think a plastic bag is going to
be much of a deterrent.

I am considering packing my resupply food in a 
vacuum sealed bag.
