Mice are the biggest issue on the east coast, with off-leash dogs a distant second. If we made a graph, there would be an adjacent micro-graph showing bee stings, rattle snakes, and bear attacks, as minor fractions of a percentage compared to Mice chomping on gear or dogs making a huge mess.
That said, black bear attacks are on the rise in the North East, so why tempt fate?
I practice good food hanging technique every time. I generally cook away from camp and prefer to cook trail-side and then clean up, and then hike a little further before setting up camp. I keep a change of "clean/sleeping" clothes and do all my odorous stuff in my stinky trail clothes.
