We stuff fish carcasses in our sleeping bags to keep the bears away from the food packs....

Anyways, rarely hang them. Generally just try to keep a clean camp.

Well said kennedy...but at the moment I must confess I'm a solo tripper.  My fish cut bait and is long gone with the loons singing, but out of reach.  These day's I look north fer good times again perhaps eh? Maybe...someday... I will bring sunshowers along again... I miss them days.

PJ I am no lawyer but I believe the search police can kiss my rear.  Now on the other hand maybe the comprehesion police should investigate you for failing to comprehend what my post was about.  I am well aware of the various forms of bear proofing and how to accomplish them.  My post was just a simple poll to see what forms the others use!  And just so everyone knows this is not a hostile message it is just a friendly stab back at PJ!

I searched and didn't find any poll relating to that issue but if there is I guess I am guilty....what is my sentence?  If you would like to arrest me I will be taking out at Nym Lake the 29th.  I will go peacefully then but not before the trip is over!

We leave them in the Deluth packs and then wrap them in a tarp and then put the clean pans on top so if a bear gets in we will know to come with the axes :)

Hang 'em and hang 'em high.  The pulley system works great, much easier and faster.
