[pct-l] storing food?

[Ned Tibbits]

Ditto! It's more of a matter of convenience for me. Since we are out on the 
snow for 70 days a year, we do a lot of cooking inside the tent. The nice 
thing is that I don't have to get out of my sleeping bag or tent to fire up 
the stove and enjoy a warm meal while the storm or mosquitoes rage outside!

I have always slept with it next to my head in case I get hungrey in the 
middle of the night. I tell any that go to my backpacking seminars that all 
the long distance hikers I know keep their food in their tent.

I sleep with it under my feet every night, except in places where canisters
are required.  I do this on the AT, PCT, and CDT
