  • @3318ryan not much an expert though I have read something about only using scentless deodorant and soaps.

  • Should you hang just food or anything with a scent? Soap and deodorant and the like?

  • 2 bears watched this video!

  • Thanks for the vid. However now that I know there are bears that can reach almost 20'....I'm selling my vapor trail, my thermarest, my stove, my mountain hardwear sleeping bag....

  • thanks for your video

  • Don't hang food in a national park, It is ILLEGAL! You must use a bear keg approved on the NPS website TRUST ME! A fight you won't win!

  • you should also state...to tie your lines to the 'food bag' first, then proceed w/ 'throwing' your lines over the branchs...

  • great vid
