I'm a relatively new backpacker, and am planning a 5 day hike through the north trails of Olympic National Park during second week in August.
Most of the hiking I've done in the NorthEast has not required any sort of bear protection for food. I've read online everything from suspended bags to bear-proof containers will do the trick.
I'm wondering if anyone familiar with the area could provide suggestions (or the requirements) with respect to food in ONP. Also, general tips on carrying food (type, container, storage, etc…) for bear and other proofing would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
