For bears here mre work well as for getting them out of camp. If you are in vehicles canned food last a long time if not dented or wet… including labels…. mystery ca stew can be potent.
Like my visitor was using some gel bear spray or burning branch at end of walking staff…. bangers too noisy and if i have to go bang… it’s bear meat for next few meals….. I don’t mind it in sausages mixed with pork but bear kind of mushy for my taste. No worries about garbage bears as no neighbours or people dumps for a long long ways. We occationaly get grizzly at the offal site from farm but the dogs deter most.
We use Hennessey hammoc 1.25 lb per unit k only one for my corpulent size lol and then wrap in the mylar tarp closing bottom with metal clothes pins. It’s always dry and we have a ton of trees. Sets up.fast is super light aND you don’t have ground water issues Plus as I get older not as many aches from ground damp. You wi need to.modify two things all the zippers need monkey fist knots on them an on lines to hammock do they are easy to open with gloves and no water running wicking. In normal times glow in dark are best to help find when dark. Second go to wreckers and get seat belt sew so you can use caribeaner that can support you body and gear weight. to quick latch tight around tree. I have glow in dark strips on velcro to help find at night my hammok. I use an inflatable pillow and hammock bag as pillow.
In -30c you are out of snow and you build a pine bough shelter on 3 sides on 4th you place fire and reflective mylar car window so the hammock gets bulk of the heat. To stop.having to get up and feed fire you use settler trick of Y loading wood. https://youtu.be/ejfSv3raPDo
You can also string up around fires to use most of the heat. When cold we use a bubble wrap mylar window heat reflector as the under layer in hammock. I wrap mine in large pillow case like terry cloth towel bag it keeps noise down and stops you from sweating inyo/onto the bubble wrap which can cause issues in extreme cold.
For those of you who have a bunk buday they have two people hammocks
