    While putting the rock into something is a very good idea, using your glove is a >>TERRIBLE<< idea. You stand a good chance of snagging it up in the tree possibly damaging it and at worst losing it up there. You food is in a bag, so take the food out of the bag while you set the rope and use that. You can use a ziplock, a mosquito head net, a bandanna etc or carry an orange (fruit) net. Risk losing/damaging only what you can afford to lose! Your glove is way down that list.

  • You guys are too mean to this girl. They could have edited all those mistakes, but all they're showing is how frustrating and time consuming it is to properly hang a bear bag. It is not easy, but is worth it.

    The people wanting to use gloves and nalgene bottles... are you willing to lose those when it gets stuck in a tree?

    The guy with the slingshot and a nut... you can easily hit a solid branch and those things bounce back at you.

    Great job on the video and thanks for not editing the mishaps

  • I felt a little like watching bushcraftcomedy :p

  • Use a rock shaped like a donut.... duhhhhhhhh.

  • @CocaColaN762

    Please, try that and let me know how it works out for you.

    If you are still able to speak, or alive for that matter.

  • She seems very nice, but could we please have a modern woman who knows how to throw a rock? (Aim for the neanderthal commenters from two months ago. Thanks.)

  • are you serious?

  • I think this young lady would be better off with a bear canister.

  • Hey top comment guy. Using a glove is illogical. The glove can snag on the tree and is harder to aim. Let's not over-complicate things.

  • do you shave or wax your muff?

  • What a dumb broad

  • Cute chick
