[pct-l] Food protection in Southern CA

[Jay Bruins]

More than enough; I just had a Cuben Fiber bag. The only issue I had was a mouse near Onyx Summit (a fluke as far as I can tell) and really bad mice the second half of WA (normal). I did hang a few times when evidence suggested it was a good idea (bear scat on trail or sightings by others).

If you're ever concerned, don't camp in common places (eg near water, formal campgrounds, etc).
