How to hang a bear bag.
This is sometimes called the pct method.
Sew a ring to your food bag
Back at home, you gotta make sure there is a loop or hook or caribiner sewed into the strong part of your bag, and that it is strong enough to hold up your bag.
Bring some strong cord
Make sure you carry some cord.
I also carry a throw bag, for getting your cord over the limb. (drawstring bag with a keyring sewed in, fill with rocks at camp)
Pick a branch
three times higher than Yogi can reach (here that’s about 20 feet), and 8+ feet away from the bole.
Throw your cord
over the branch.
unhook from throw bag
and hook into food bag.
Run loose end of cord through ring on food bag
Pull loose end of cord
until food bag is against tree.
Tie a stick
as high as you can reach into that loose end.
Lower the food bag.
The stick won’t go through the food bag ring, holding it about 12 feet high.
Leave the free end loose.
