<br>
happy new year!!!<br>
<br>
one question: rope? no one seems to mention rope, i don't see it on gear lists.
Have I missed something? people talk about using their food as a pillow, and
then occasionally using a bear canister/locker. <br>
<br>
what is the deal? does anyone take rope and hang food? what about the
mice/skunks/whatevers that bore holes in food bags?<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks, <br>
mondog<br>
