Contrary to common opinion I don't care if you, or any thruhiker, follows
the rules. I simply care if you sleep with your food. The simple reason is
because I believe sleeping with food trains bears to crash tents and I sleep
in a tent.

If one wants to stealth camp in early season before the bears are active one
should simply toss their food on the ground and go hungry if a bears shows
up. Don't Bullsh!t me saying that stealth camping works. Put your food where
your mouth is.

Notice that Sly didn't have the BALLS to do that. He risked MY LIFE by
helping to train a bear to crash tents.




Tom tell you what.  Next time I go through the Sierras, I'll follow every
"rule" applicable, as I have for the last 8500 miles.   When there's no
rules I continue to make my own.
