I guess we all have our areas of risk avoidance.

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

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.
