Strider  got me thinking about submerging food again as a way to keep
from bears getting it in the Sierra's. I was thinking about trying a
"dry bag" boaters use, but they are actually pretty heavy. With the new
regulations I have to bring my  bear cannister. But, I was thinking
about double sealing a package of food in a vacuum packer and submerging
it at night. Has anyone ever tried this? I am going to be on "bear
alley" in two weeks and I am considering trying it.
