How do you hang your bear bag?

I would also note that people seem to have no tolerance for risk with even the apparently safest water - they will filter absolutely everything (I don't) - are not worried by this risk. I guess we all have our areas of risk avoidance.

The difference, of course, is that the non-filterer shoulders all the risk himself, while the non-hanger can ruin things for other hikers and the bear too.

Which if anything should make people more willing to be more careful with their food than their water, but I think the opposite is the case.

I just store jet food in my tent. I feel its safer next to me rather than at a distance.

If a small rodent chews through your tent to get to it, you will probably wake up in time to protect your food, but not before your tent has a hole in it. If a bear rips into your tent . . .

I have an Ursack. It's a little heavier, but there is notmuch more in the backcountry than slinging rocks or biners over branches. I just tie mine at the base of a tree.

Okay, sorry, maybe it's just me, but I can't see that without thinking of bear scrotum.
