They ARE pretty small so here's a suggestion from a point of view. I have smelly food and not so smelly food. In my case, two pounds of coffee is what I smell every time I open the food/cook pack. (I could open it right now and still smell coffee.) At breakfast it's mingled with the smell of garlic summer sausage because I stick my day food in the main food/cook pack to hang at night.

I haven't thought this through for you but when I come to a portage I put on the food/cook pack and simply toss the dayfood pack on top of it and go. If it starts to shift I give it a poke to stabilize it.

Since I do three loads when solo  ;D this isn't advice as much as a kernel of an idea you may be able to adapt or expand to fit your own style. If all you took for food was FD and oatmeal -  and it fit - it could probably work. Although, the one site I had the longest bruin type conversation at also had what I originally was old FD packages from sloppy campers in one area. Now I know a little better....  8-)

FWIW - last I heard the bear population is down. Fewer moose is my guess.
