If the canisters or ursack are overkill for PA, do you think buying the odor-resistant plastic bags from Ursack would be helpful? Ursack website says: "These patented bags provide 17,000 times more odor resistance than high density polyethlyene." My question is based on my desire to get my wife out on the trail more. . .a bit more security would probably double her trips. I could save the money on the container and just use the Ursack ziplocks as a liner to a regular bag and hang it overnight. By the way Folkie, were you anywhere near the Sesquahannock Trail when you had your food stolen? We were there last summer; a black bear walked past our campsite in the early morning. . . It took off as soon as it saw us. Tabatha took it much better than I thought, but it planted the "what about bears" seed in her mind. . . Everyone, thanks for the advice.
