Food bags and balds

imported
#1

This may seem like a silly question, but I’ll ask anyway. I’ve always hung my food bag at night while hiking, but I want to sleep out on one of the balds on my next hike in NC. What do you do with your food bag? Does everyone just say to hell with the bears/critters and keep it in their tents? No trees or cables so what do y’all do?

I always sleep with my food in my tent. You won’t have a problem.

places like Roan Bald, or Max Patch (void of trees)…you can choose to sleep with your food bag…hide it under a heavy rock or, as i’ve seen some hikers do,…attach food bag to a white blaze post by rope & hope for the best!:smiley:

happy hikin’!
