I just moved to Colorado and want to do some backpacking this summer. I am thinking of getting one of the bear containers to store my food in when camping. I am curious though about other food ediquette while hiking in the backcountry. Is it ok to keep food in your pocket while hiking?, like trail mix and maybe dog kibble for the dog. I am assuming that with a bears great sense of smell they may be attracted to my clothes even if I empty the food out of my pockets when we bed down for the night. Anyhow, you can see where I'm going with this, if there are any tips for how to carry and consume food in the backcountry I would appreciate it. Thanks
