[pct-l] Sleeping with your food...

[stillroaming@xxxxxxxxx (Scott Parks)]

Sly poses an EXCELLENT question, does anyone on this list
have FIRST-HAND info of a bear getting your food when you
sleep with it. (It makes a decent pillow, sans pop tarts)

We've heard food hanging stories, Ursack stories and even
bear canister soccer balls. If you sleep with your food, have
YOU ever had it swiped by a bear?
