Just an idea for consideration:
A portable battery-powered electric fence controller, such as:

and a metal food storage bag, such as:

weight – 3 to 3 1/2 lbs (batteries included)
Might be the ultimate food protection system – against both bears and rodents. Weight seems to be the major obstacle. But the battery-powered electric fence controller is the heaviest part, and since it is made for a fence up to 2 miles in length and continuous use for 4 weeks, might it not be possible to decrease the number of batteries or the size of the batteries (and thus weight) by substituting fewer and/or AA batteries?
