Pack & Gear Storage While In The Backcountry

How do you people store you gear when you’re camping and do you do things differently in or out of bear country?
I have never been a big fan of bringing my pack inside my tent or in the vestibule I guess I’m old school or it’s just the way I was thought years ago. I normally put my pack on the other side of my campfire across from my tent and put a trash bag over it to keep it dry from the rain and dew. I put all of my food, cooking gear, cleaning stuff and any other things that has a sent in a bag that I hang someplace close to my camping area 4 to 6 feet off the ground. Unless I’m in bear country then I use a bear canister for that stuff and place it about 150 feet away from my camping area. Also when I’m in bear country depending on the bear activity I also hang my pack roughly 75 feet away from my campsite.

If you bring your pack inside your tent or vestibule is there only certain times of year or places that you do that, and have you ever had any problems doing that?
