I don't hang food, I just keep it in the tent unless its a well known problem bear area. The gorge is not. Never had a problem keeping it in the tent but sometimes the rodents will try to get it when its hanging. I take a bear canister in the Oly's or the Sierra - just to keep the rangers at bay.
Nah...I'll keep him around, he comes in useful once in a while ;). I discussed the issue with him again, and he's fine with hanging the food. He said that after we discussed it, he thought about it some more and he agreed that even though rodents might be our only problem, you still never know and it's just a good practice in general (I think he just doesn't like to admit when I'm right.....but we just won't tell him that).

This has turned out to be quite a lively discussion though...so continue to discuss....
