If you are going to keep food in a tent you are sleeping in, keep a
good sharp knife at your side so you can cut an exit door in the tent
wall opposite the entrance door  the bears claws have cut.


Best plan, assuming there are trees around (not too many bears on the
desert) is to throw a rope over a limb and haul your food bag up into
the air out of reach. This is common practice in back country camping.


Up on the roof is better than in a westy. Food and people space don't
mix in bear country.
