[pct-l] food storage strategy

[Chris Anderson]

That things a bit pricey and its made from silnylon.  You could use a cheap stuff sack, a carabiner, and some rope and get the same results...or check out the ursack if you want some stopping power

hello all,

i'm attaining all of the gear i'll need for the pct and have come to food
storage and need help. from what i've heard rodents are a frequent problem
and bears a less frequent problem. i imagine hanging a food bag will be out
of question for much of the desert, but where do most of you store your
food at night? in the tent or in the trees? i'd love to bypass the extra
chore if it's not a foolish idea, and i'm thinking of getting one of these
if hanging food is more desirable... 4.7 oz. and 60 bucks... seems a bit
spendy but not completely out of question:

would love to hear your thoughts on it.
