I always use freezer ziplock bags when packing my food pack and seperating meals. This always leaves me with enough zip locks to hold the trash from the day.

Why the concern & worry? You'll have bear spray at the ready at all times.

This is what I've always done.  I usually have a few ziplocks handy.  Always one in a pocket for the day's cig buts & snack wrappers.

Still looking things over. Here's the situation; I like mountain house granola w/blueberries and milk for lunch. Comes in a pouch which you eat right out of. Swish in the water to clean and roll tight and close with a tiny cable tie. What to do with the refuse? I also like a few bars during the day, again more trash.

I try and be aware of cross contamination as the last thing I want is attention from blackie. In the past I have just double ziplocked trash until an evening fire can take care of it but I think I have hit on something better. The wide mouth nalgene canteen.

I use these as food storage containers and they are ideal. All my oats go in the 96oz version. My fish breading goes into the 16oz version. I like them because they are pliable and it is easy to accurately manipulate the food inside them. Plus they are featherweight, wide mouthed, almost indestructible and have a fantastic seal. In other words they are perfect food containers.

And now I think they might also be a perfect trash can as well. Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there.
