Dan,
That photo of yours sure brings back memories ... memories of what we had to do with both our trash AND FOOD in the High Sierras in backpacking camps. I even had to get up out of my ten in the middle of the night once and physically chase a bear out of our camp. I took the lead chasing the bear in the dark with a flashlight while my adult son followed BEHIND me. He insisted that he couldn't BEAR not having our rear column unprotected.
(Just kidding on him saying that ... but he actually did willing let me take the lead during the chasing!)
