How do we move on?   To water submersible techniques, fine with me.  Just how 
do you squeeze all that food into a spring?  What if I do not camp near 
water?  And how does one hang food in the southern PCT or above tree line 
where there are no trees? 

A friend of mine in Glen Auldin was dragged off with no food in his tent.  He 
didn't blame it on anyone.  

Yes, you should prudent with your own food  (matter of opinion) and accept 
what may very well happen in the backcountry.  Please don't be blaming 
another hiker that has had absolutley no problems for your mis-encounter, 
especially if you've never had one..
